Watch TNA Wrestling Live 1/2/25 2nd January 2025 Live Online

I think his Ic run being so long hurt him as a credible world champion. It’s like he fought all the same guys and crushed them for a mid card belt now we are supposed to believe they are an actual challenge to him as a world champion? Lol when they took the intercontinental title off of him they should have moved him to SmackDown and put a new list of challengers in front of him. And moved Cody and the WWE championship to raw

imagine being deluded enough to think a multi billion dollar company with guys who literally have wrestling in their blood hot shoted a heel turn storyline because they booked themselves into a corner. are you serious dude? that is the most ridiculous thing i have read in a minute lol. good luck bro.

Punk/Cody was there for the taking and Cena could’ve gone up against Gunther.

They knee jerked a heel turn because they booked themselves into a nepotism corner

honestly don’t get the hate. like sure, there’s no major story here YET. But Punk/Rollins/Reigns has a lot of potential to be a high quality match. I’m legit looking forward to it and love that these three have wound up in a match together.

The triple threat match between them at Wrestlemania is gonna be awesome. Super stoked for this match

Let’s mention the women’s match in every live/hate challenge. Easiest task for this group of “journalists” ever. Each one of these love/hates are more embarrassing than the last. We get it, women’s wrestling is amazing and should main event every show and if a women’s match is bad it’s because where it is on the card or the booking it’s never the talent, all the women are top tier wrestlers.

You wanna find out who the real simps and shills are? Mark down anybody who defends that main event match! Even the diehard AEW fans are crapping on that main event. It was terrible.

This Moxley stuff is stinking out the entire show and the dude seems to think he is Brock Lesnar.

The sad part is that this wasn’t a terrible show overall and with all things taken into an account. But at the end of the day, a bad ending can ruin a whole show for a lot of people. “Game of Thrones season 8” style.

So the crux of it all is that the PLE started strong…then ended with a sour belch.

The fans most remember how you left them and the fans are going to remember this show with a resounding “bleh”!

And any casual fan who watched with their buddies who are more diehard fans, may have left the viewing saying aloud, “That guy was pretty good. He should go to WWE”.

I’ve said before but I think one of the issues here is that Tony is a massive fan of NJPW and often looks to emulate their PPV card structure. NJPW cards typically build to a climax with the big matches back to back and tend not to feature cool down matches or spots. Problem is western audiences haven’t been conditioned for that over the last 40 years, so often results in burnout. Personally I would have laid out the card like below giving breathing spaces, opening with the Steel Cage match and building to the Hollywood Ending as the main event.

Storm vs. May

Mox vs. Cope

Hangman vs. MJF

Hurt Syndicate vs. Outrunners

Takeshita vs. Omega

Swerve vs. Ricochet

Okada vs. King

Mone vs. Watanabe

Ospreay vs. Fletcher

Very good show, but the ending is what people remember. WWE ended Elimination Chamber with a huge heel turn. AEW ended Revolution with that abominable ending.

it doesn’t totally undo a great show, but it might have done more harm than good.

I can already see Trips the mark statues, Trips the mark with a 20 minutes speech, the camera focusing onTrips the mark every 30 seconds when he is on the crowd.

I’m glad they are bringing it back to a nice venue. The idea of hosting it immediately after Smackdown is insane. Why not put a highlight show or broadcast the Hall of Fame instead of airing Smackdown that week.

Very good show tonight

clickbait

Yes

Fantastic Article

The only switches from Raw vs SD were Breakker, and Jax?

Super excited about Kiana James to Raw. She’s been great on NXT so hopefully they don’t ruin her momentum.

I dunno what the Final Testament want, but at this point I am afraid to ask.

Save yourself time and money and just say everyone on smackdown will stay on smackdown, everyone on raw will stay on raw. What clown wrote this episode?!

Willow should NOT lose to Moñe at Double or Nothing.

I love the work Mariah’s done with Toni, but Ngl I would also love her just gal-palling around with Mina for a spell

I’m all in on joshi invasion of AEW. I’m kinda down for joshi invasion of all promotions honestly

That line makes me laugh like Danielson is also a 21st century wrestler

Uhg, some other random wrestler from a promotion I’ve never heard of.

This is going to be a squash match right?

Wait, Anna Jay isn’t in Dark Order?

not even the security guard with the hogan beard is dragging me out of daily’s rn

Three other Ospreay dream matches

V Kurt V Bret V Perfect

I have never seen mina before…. But from the entrance alone i am a fan

Anna Jay one of the finest women I’ve ever seen. Good lord

May gets all the ladies.

Anna Jay match in Daily’s Place just feels right

Is Mina’s theme a rip of Danza Kaduro? 🕺🏻

I enjoy Fallon’s work in ring, and her character work. I just wish she didn’t scream so much- every single move.

Was late tuning in tonight, went and watched the women’s title match, Tatum showed up and showed tf out. Sad she didn’t win but the sky’s the limit

first step to Briggs and Jensen getting back together

I wonder if Fallon Henley gets called up, she’s not really in any important angles in NXT.

Jasmyn has that chiseled chin. John Cena style

Jacey Jayne wants Thea to say “Thank you, Trish Jacey”

Her weave fallen off and her not skipping a beat. What a woman. I’m all in on jaida parker

This OTM side quest was good for Jaida to get her feet wet but her ceiling is sooo much higher than Lucien, Bronco & SCRYPTS

Really don’t like that it’s the Women’s NXT North American Championship. Besides being an awkward mouthful, it’s too derivative of Men’s midcard title.

“Gratitude is not an option but a debt that you will repay to me” lmao damn Jacy sounds so badass and ominous 😭

Jaida’s only been doing this for a year and a half. She’s got a really bright future.

I love the implied narrative that it’s Nattie who is singlehandedly selling out a WWE tour of Europe

All these talks about call-ups, I feel Jacy Jayne is more overdue than most. One of the best character workers around.

I feel like Jaida has been winning every week for a while now but it hasn’t really gotten her anywhere lol

Booker’s about to faint during the sexiest contract signing of all time.

SOMEONE CLIP THAT LEXIS KING PART IN THE NXT SHOP COMMERCIAL AND MAKE IT A MEME

So.. Natalya had a ton of work done on her face right? She had some weird angles to it when the camera followed her walking

Any recognise the photographer in the Baron/Lexis segment?
