The breakup of Mustafa Ali’s Order 4 was a long time coming in TNA. However, I did not see the swerve coming that occurred on Impact (Oct. 1, 2026). In hindsight, the clues add up.
Mustafa Ali created Order 4 to watch his back. He recruited Tasha Steelz, Jason Hotch, and John Skyler under the guise of leadership to make them great. They ended up being a bunch of lackeys who lost most of their matches. Ali grew tried of their failure, so he brought in the menacing Agent Zero as bodyguard. The next
addition as Mila Moore as secretary of strategic affairs.
Tensions overflowed as Ali became more disrespectful toward Steelz, Hotch, and Skyler. Eventually, Hotch took his shot at the boss to win the TNA International Championship. The title went back into the hands of Ali at Lockdown. That more or less brings up to date to the latest chapter.
When Ali insulted Moore as no brains and all bimbo for booking him into a three-way title defense in his return match from injury, Skyler stepped up to silence the berating. This comes after Skyler’s failed attempt to woo Moore romantically.
Later, Moore was flattered at Skyler’s compliments. As she leaned in to kiss him, Ali interrupted to yell at them. Moore was done. She quit Order 4, and she took Skyler with her.
Ali retained the championship over Hotch and Trey Miguel. The champ pulled Steelz in front to take the impact of Hotch’s flying stomp. Ali won by hitting Trey with the title belt. The funniest part was Ali picking up Steelz in his arms to carry her to the back, like he cared about her well-being. That sentiment didn’t last long. A few seconds later, Ali dropped Steelz onto the floor, so he could pose with the gold.
Next up was a tag team match. Ali & Agent Zero wrestled the reunited Hotch & Skyler, but the Great Hands weren’t exactly on the same page. Hotch was steamed that Skyler didn’t follow him to leave Order 4 and instead followed Moore out the door. Skyler just wanted Hotch to be happy for him that he found his special person.
The Great Hands gelled in the ring, but Zero was too much to handle. Check out this awesome transition into a double powerbomb.
Ali was victorious in the end by targeting Skyler’s injured knee on a Sharpshooter. The swerve came in the aftermath. Ali order Zero to dish out more punishment to the Great Hands. Zero hesitated at first, then Steelz gave the nod to obey. Ali caught that gesture and started yelling at Steelz. Swerve alert! Steelz pointed at Ali, and Zero clotheslined him into oblivion. Steelz also ordered Zero to chokeslam Moore. Steelz stood tall with the championship and Zero by her side.
The body language was outstanding in that scene. I loved Ali’s expression when he realized that Steelz sicced Zero on him. Steelz looked stone cold like the Boricua Badass that she is. Zero made his motivation clear by eyeing the title as Steelz held it high.
TNA wrapped this chapter with a bow. Backstage, there was a donnybrook with smooth camera production circling to see all four men. Santino Marella booked Ali, Hotch, Skyler, and Zero in a four-way for the TNA International Championship at Bound For Glory.
The Order 4 break up took a while, but the pay off was well worth it. The wrinkle with Steelz and Zero as a duo was a nice touch to get her involved in the title picture as payback on Ali. I’m skeptical that funny business isn’t still afoot. I have a hard time believing that Moore jumped into Skyler’s arms so quickly after insulting his looks. This could be a case of big simping with Skyler being played as a stooge if Moore helps Ali at Bound For Glory.
