Season overview

Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for "TNA Xplosion" Season 17.
Keys: overview (160-220 words summary of narrative arc), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points summarizing previous lore/stakes).
Constraints: Use ONLY provided synopsis and sources. No invented facts. No markdown. No asterisks. No headings. No bullet points (in the overview, though the primer is an array of strings). Output valid JSON only.
Input Material:
TMDB Synopsis: Season 17 premiered on January 6, 2018.
Source 1: Produced by TNA, features highlights from Impact Wrestling and exclusive taped matches.
Source 2: Launched in 2002, features highlights from Impact! and exclusive taped matches.
Source 3: Features exclusive Xplosion matches plus highlights from NWA: Total Nonstop Action (2002) and TNA iMPACT! Wrestling (2004).
Source 4: Produced by TNA, features highlights from Impact Wrestling and exclusive taped matches. Produced only for international markets, no longer airing in the US. Airs in Canada on The Fight Network, in Asia and the Middle East.
Source 5: Jeremy Borash as Himself.
Overview: The provided synopsis only says "Season 17 of TNA Xplosion premiered on January 6, 2018." There is absolutely no information regarding a "narrative arc" for Season 17 in the provided text. The sources describe the show's general format (highlights from Impact Wrestling and exclusive taped matches) and its history (launched in 2002), but nothing about the specific plot or narrative of Season 17.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Problem: I cannot write a 160-220 word summary of a narrative arc that does not exist in the text. I also cannot provide a primer of 4 bullet points about lore/stakes because no lore or stakes are mentioned.
If I follow the instruction "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," and the prompt requires specific word counts and counts of items, I am in a bind.
However, if I write "The provided text does not contain information regarding the narrative arc of Season 17,"
