It actually makes a fair bit of sense this week. I must ask a few rhetorical questions, though:
1) Why the fuck sign Johnny Stamboli to a contract, and then bring him in under this new Rellik character (which is actually a cool name), only to job him out? I believe the guy has lost something like five times in a row now. People will not care about the character, if there was any hope before.
Black Reign should probably be released. I like Dustin Runnels well enough, but he couldn't even get Goldust right in his last run. I think it's time he took a break. I'd love to see Stamboli get a serious shot, but TNA is packed, and they've already shown they don't give a fuck about this character. I'd take him over Judas Mesias, though. Another question: Why did they not have Mesias return on the PPV, and help Rellik and Reign pick up the win against Abyss & Rhino? You know, so they don't look like complete jobbers?
2) I can understand why Scott Steiner is getting the X-Division Title shot, I really can. The match won't be pretty, but it hammers home that the belt is not a weight-class championship, and when Lethal goes over, he will look pretty good (something he needs right now). What I cannot understand, is why BG James received the TNA World Tag Team Title shot? He should have been fired, and then after a few weeks, actually give the guy his release. Christopher Daniels really should have gotten the tag match.
3) I like the Angle/Christian thing, but where does this leave the faces? Right now, you have Samoa Joe, Kevin Nash and Booker T all on the verge of being the top face of the company. I guess Joe could help out The Motor City Machine Guns, against Johnny Devine (playing up his shoot promo), but what about Nash and Booker? I suppose Booker T vs. Robert Roode will happen, and Kevin Nash shouldn't be wrestling, but things do feel out of focus.
