Powell’s POV: Fatu is the son of the late Umaga. The lineup looks good on paper and I am looking forward to the show. Join me for my live review starting with the pre-show at 6CT/7ET, or as the main card airs on pay-per-view at 7CT/8ET. John Moore and I will team up for a same night audio review that will be available for free on the ProWrestling Boom Podcast.
It feels like the obvious move is Santana brings the TNA belt back to the company while Slamovich drops the Knockouts title via interference and has to chase JJ for a few months before she gets it back.
AJ Styles is now being listed on the TNA site as making an appearance.
