Full SPOILERS from TNA’s post-Under Siege tapings, including a colossal 16-person tag team match!
TNA Wrestling recently taped its next two weeks of programming from Albany, New York.
The tapings, held one day removed from Under Siege, encompassed the next two episodes (Thursday, May 9 and Thursday, May 16) of TNA’s weekly iMPACT! broadcast, with two additional matches taped for transmission on TNA’s digital webseries Xplosion. Amongst the notable moments, AEW’s Ryan Nemeth made his TNA in-ring debut, Steve Maclin targeted The Rascalz, and ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy continued to eye up Moose’s TNA World Championship.
