Cedric Alexander is betrayed in TNA swerve

Cedric Alexander has been on TNA television for three weeks, and he’s already been betrayed.

Alexander was called in by Tasha Steelz to talk sense to the increasingly unhinged Mustafa Ali. That led to TNA booking a WrestleMania rematch for Slammiversary. Alexander had a taste of action on Thursday night Impact (July 10, 2025). Too bad for him that it ended with a low blow from behind.

Alexander was joined by the Great Hands with Tasha Steelz ringside for six-man tag team action. Their opponents were Ali’s secret service bodyguards, which were basically nameless local talent. Alexander earned the win via Lumbar Check backbreaker.

The real drama came after the match. Ali tried to sneak attack Alexander with a chair. When Alexander juked to counter for the Lumbar Check, Steelz shocked the Impact Zone by saving Ali with a low blow to Alexander. Steelz walked out with Ali trailing behind.

Outside, Steelz went boss lady on Ali and the boys. The dynamic of power shifted to Steelz in charge as Order 4 obeyed. Steelz explained that she is sick of Ali’s leadership that has led nowhere. She called Alexander as a ploy to play them all. Steelz knew that Alexander would come in to save her. She doesn’t need saving. When Ali felt lied to, Steelz mentioned how her plan got him a marquee match on Slammiversary. It’s time for the Order 4 to get back on the same page and become the greatest faction in TNA history. The System overheard that conversation and stepped to Order 4 with a challenge for next week. Steelz accepted without hesitation.

Wow. I did not see this swerve coming so soon. Steelz flipped the switch to become the leader of Order 4 now. Technically, Ali is still in charge, but it will be interesting to see how this business relationship evolves with Steelz pulling the strings.
