History

Formation of The System (2024)

On January 14, 2024, at the "Countdown to TNA Hard To Kill", Myers and Edwards defeated Eric Young and Frankie Kazarian pre-show. During a backstage interview at Hard To Kill, Edwards, Myers, Alisha Edwards, Moose and DeAngelo Williams would form a stable calling themselves "The System". The stable later accompanied Moose to his main event match for the TNA World Championship against Alex Shelley. During the match, Edwards and the rest of The System attempted to distract Shelley, prompting a brawl with Shelley's partners, Chris Sabin and Kushida. Moose later won the match, after which he was confronted by Nic Nemeth. [7] On February 23, at the "Countdown to No Surrender", Myers and Edwards defeated Intergalactic Jet Setters (Kevin Knight and Kushida). [8] [9] On March 8, at Sacrifice, Myers and Edwards defeated ABC to win the TNA World Tag Team Championship, while Moose successfully defended his TNA world title against Eric Young. [10]

Multiple additions, Championship reigns (2024–present)

In April 2024, The System encouraged Masha Slamovich to team up with Alisha Edwards to challenge Spitfire (Dani Luna and Jody Threat) for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship. On May 3 at Under Siege, Slamovich and Alisha defeated Spitfire to win the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship. [11] On June 14, at Against All Odds, Dirty Dango allied himself with The System after costing the Nemeth Brothers their tag team title shot against Myers and Edwards, after which he changed his name to Johnny "Dango" Curtis (JDC). [12] [13] On July 20 at Slammiversary, Edwards and Myers lost the TNA World Tag Team titles to ABC, while Moose lost the TNA World title in six-way elimination match to Nic Nemeth, he was eliminated second by Joe Hendry. On September 14 at Victory Road, The Malisha was defeated by Spitfire for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship, After the match Alisha Edwards and Tasha Steelz turned on Slamovich and attacked her causing her to turn face, while Myers and Edwards defeated ABC to regain the TNA World Tag Team Championship. [14] [15] At the 2024 Bound for Glory pay-per-view, Eddie Edwards and Bryan Myers lost the TNA World Tag Team Championships to The Hardys in a Full Metal Mayhem match. [16] This was a three way tag team match that also involved ABC. On the November 7 episode of Impact, Moose won the TNA X Division Championship for the first time in his career. [17] On November 29 at Turning Point, Moose successfully defended the X Division Championship against Laredo Kid. Myers competed in the Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl match, where he was pinned by Joe Hendry and per the stipulation, he was forced to wear a turkey suit. This match also involved Eric Young, Hammerstone, John Skyler, and Rhino, and Edwards unsuccessfully challenged Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Championship that night. [18] Over a month later on the December 5 episode of Impact!, The System would invoke their rematch clause to challenge The Hardys for the titles, only for the match to end via disqualification due to Alisha Edwards interfering. The System continued to beat down The Hardys, ending when they put the champions through a table. [19] As a result, TNA later announced that The Hardys and The System would face off once again for the TNA World Tag Team Championship at Final Resolution in a tables match. [20] At the event, Edwards and Myers failed to regain the TNA World Tag Team Championships while Moose successfully retained his TNA X Division Championship against Kushida. [21]
