The Nygma’s Chart of the Week

D’Lo Brown and Matt Striker were on commentary. On ‘Before The Impact’, Steve Maclin defeated TJP in an Open Challenge Match. Petey Williams got involved and cost TJP the win.

• Chris Sabin defeated Sami Callihan. After the match, Moose tossed Sabin and floored Callihan with a Spear. He looked to recreate Callihan’s famous Eddie Edwards spot, grabbing a chair and a bat. Eddie hit the ring with Kenny and made the save, standing tall with Callihan.

• In the ring, Mickie James was looking forward to NWA Empowerrr. Deonna vs. Melina’s video package got aired before the Champion herself appeared, with the Drama King. Deonna still felt threatened as she blamed Mickie for taking her spotlight. Deonna predicted an easy victory at Empowerrr against Melina. Things got heated between the two as Rehwoldt stepped in. Trey Miguel made the run down and took out Rehwoldt. Deonna and Mickie continued to brawl before Melina put an end to it.

The Nygma’s Nutcracker(s) of the Week

– Sami Callihan vs Chris Sabin

Sabin swarmed Callihan with a suicide dive. They traded shots outside. Callihan brought him in with a powerbomb. Sabin fired back with a kick on the apron and a nice backslide. Callihan sent him into the post with a powerbomb. Sabin continued to fight on but Callihan neutralized him in the corner. Callihan mocked Sabin as he headbutted him on a relentless attack. Sabin got rough, strangled the eyes and hit a tornado DDT. They traded pump kicks before Callihan scored another headbutt. Callihan landed his Cactus Special but Sabin kicked out. Sabin broke away and landed a Cradle Shock for the win.

The Weekly “Enigma For a Nygma”

Christian joked on Tommy Dreamer’s hairdo… I’m sorry but since last Sunday, the ponytail has never been more trendy…

The Nygma’s Noticeable Facts/Awards of the Week

– We Used Not To Being Friends…

I won’t remind you of the long story between Eddie and Sami, it’s been more than 3 years now that they never miss a reason to square off. Now that they try to help each other, obviously, it’s pretty new for them, that’s unusual… These two are becoming aware of the fact that they might hate each other as much as they can, they’re something that makes of us, as a team, something brilliant. They could rule the world together… We, the fans, have been thinking this way for so long…

I will never “owe” @TheSamiCallihan anything other than a baseball bat to the face
We are square now
I will not be saving him again
We are done #IMPACTonAXSTV #DieHard#ANYTHINGisPOSSIBLE https://t.co/Czvn0pHbdJ

– Victory Road

One match only for the moment, and up to change next week. We still have 3 weeks to build up the rest of the card…

To be eNYGMAtic…
