Former TNA wrestler still a ‘free agent’
Former TNA wrestler Gisele Shaw has opened up about her contract situation.
Recently speaking to Fightful in an interview, Shaw addressed her status as a “free agent” and her current focus on having great matches.
“I am still a free agent, and I’m just doing my thing right now. I feel like when you think about, ‘I want to sign, I want to sign, I want to sign,’ it almost runs away from you. But if I’m just like, ‘I’m gonna live my best life, I’m just gonna perform and wrestle the best that I can, I’m gonna have banger matches,’ and that’s all I focus about, then they know where to reach me,” Shaw said. “So if they’re interested in signing me, they know how to get ahold of me. But all my focus is, right now, is just banger after banger matches and that’s it.”
Shaw, 36, joined TNA Wrestling in 2018 and remained a part of the promotion until late 2024. Her last TNA match dates back to a loss against Heather by Elegance. During her six-year run at TNA Wrestling, Shaw was involved in several rivalries, including an iconic one against Jordynne Grace.
What is former TNA wrestler Gisele Shaw doing now?
While officially a free agent, Shaw actively wrestles on the independent circuit, mostly for Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling (MLP). She is the reigning and inaugural MLP Canadian Women’s Champion, as well as the current NWA World Women’s Television Champion. In addition to these, Shaw is also the Destiny Women’s Champion.
Since leaving TNA in 2024, Shaw has wrestled for PROGRESS, ROH, MLP, NWA, and even CMLL.
Wicked Garden match, mixed tag team bout part of next week’s TNA Impact
TNA has announced next week’s Impact lineup, and it includes the unique Wicked Garden match.
Midway through this Thursday, May 28, 2026, episode of TNA Impact, the promotion released a brief lineup of next week’s matches.
After Indi Hartwell requested herself to be in a mixed tag-team match with Santino Marella against Arianna Grace and Channing Stacks, Marella, the on-screen director of authority in TNA, granted them the match.
Next week’s lineup will also see The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) face The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) in a Wicked Garden match. The four men have been through a roller coaster relationship, with them being on similar sides and then again feuding. Currently in a rivalry against each other, the Hardys’ feud against The Righteous also saw the return of the Broken Matt Hardy and The Willow gimmicks.
Next week’s lineup will also see BDE in a match against Eddie Edwards.
TNA Impact next week’s lineup
- The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) vs. The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) in a Wicked Garden match
- Indi Hartwell & Santino Marella vs. Arianna Grace & Channing Stacks
- BDE vs. Eddie Edwards
Xia Brookside earns TNA Knockouts World title match
Xia Brookside has earned herself a shot at the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
On Thursday, during the May 28, 2026, episode of TNA Impact, Brookside pinned reigning Knockouts World Champion Lei Ying Lee in the Champions Challenge match.
Similar to KC Navarro’s match earlier in the night, the stipulation for the women’s Champions Challenge match was identical. It was noted that if a challenger were able to pin one of the champions, they would earn themselves a future title match.
The champions, Lee, Heather, and M by Elegance, teamed up to face Brookside, Elayna Black, and Mara Sade. The finishing moments of the match saw a few interferences before Mr.Elegance caused Lee to trip. This led to Brookside using her Darkside finisher for the pinfall win.
Based on their rivalry over the past few weeks, the result of the match was quite expected. It can be assumed that the two face each other at TNA Slammiversary for the Knockouts World title. Although TNA has not yet announced any official date.
First competitor for Ultimate X match at TNA Slammiversary announced
Leon Slater is set to be a part of the upcoming Ultimate X match at TNA Slammiversary.

TNA Wrestling announced that Slater will be one of the competitors in the Ultimate X match at TNA Slammiversary. The X-Division title currently held by Alexander will be on the line in his iconic TNA match on June 28, 2026.
Ahead of his Ultimate X match, Slater was also recently a part of the Champions Challenge match on the May 28 episode of TNA Impact.
At TNA Slammiversary 2026 in Boston, all championships are set to be on the line. The match card is also scheduled to include a ladder match on the show.
As of now, no other participants have been announced for the upcoming Ultimate X match except Slater.

KC Navarro earns TNA International Championship match
Mustafa Ali is set to defend his TNA International Championship against KC Navarro.
On Thursday, during the May 28, 2026, episode of TNA Impact, Navarro pinned reigning champion Mustafa Ali in the Champions Challenge match to earn himself a title shot.
The match featured all current champions (Mike Santana, Mustafa Ali, The System, & Cedric Alexander) against the challengers (Elijah, Leon Slater, Navarro, Frankie Kazarian, & Eric Young). The match stipulated that if a challenger were able to pin one of the champions, they would earn themselves a future title match.
The finishing moments of the match saw Leon Slater hit Ali with a superkick and tag in Navarro, who followed it up with Blessing in Disguise for the victory.
Ali won the TNA International title earlier this year in April, 2026 and has been in several title matches since then. While Navarro earned himself a title shot, a date for the match has not been finalized yet.
Update on Fabian Aichner’s status with TNA Wrestling
An update is available regarding Fabian Aichner, the former Giovanni Vinci in WWE, signing with TNA Wrestling.
Aichner debuted for the promotion on the May 14 edition of TNA Impact, appearing after Cedric Alexander defeated Leon Slater for the X-Division Championship.
Aichner spoke to The Takedown on SI.com for an interview published on Thursday. The article reveals that Aichner’s deal with TNA keeps him under contract at least through the summer.
“The Takedown on SI has learned that it was far from a one-off appearance, as he has signed a contract with the promotion that a source indicates will take him at least through the summer,” wrote Jon Alba.
Aichner also spoke about having taken a year off from wrestling following his release from WWE in February 2025.
“I think it’s pretty well known that I took a little bit of time off over the last course of the year. It was quite the roller coaster towards the end of his WWE run, and the whole point was to recharge the batteries a little bit. I think that definitely got accomplished,” he said.
“And as it so happens, sometimes things were just pointing to TNA. A friend of mine in Germany pointed out that TNA has been improving their product greatly. I agree with that. So I checked it out.”
Aichner is set to wrestle on the May 28 edition of TNA Impact on Thursday. He’s scheduled to face Eddie Edwards on the show.
The full article from The Takedown on SI.com is available here.
Christopher Daniels has no intention of wrestling again: ‘I don’t wanna embarrass myself’
TNA and wrestling veteran Christopher Daniels has revealed his intention of wrestling again in the future.
Daniels, 56, currently working in AEW, is vividly remembered for his time in TNA Wrestling. Last wrestled in early 2025 on the Jericho Cruise, Daniels currently does not want to wrestle and embarrass himself again.
Daniels did a virtual signing with K & S WrestleFest, where he shared his thoughts and intentions of wrestling again in the future. (H/T Fightful)
“I mean, I wish I could, but I have to be honest about physically how my body’s beat up, and I watched some of the last matches of my career. I did a lot of stuff in DEFY in Seattle, Washington, and I watched a lot of those matches and while the mental part of those matches is really, really good at least — I’m very proud of it — I have to be honest and say I wasn’t really in the best of shape, and I could tell that I was slowing down, and so, yeah… the way it ended for me is probably best that it ended, and yeah, I don’t really have a desire to get back into it just because I don’t wanna embarrass myself.”
Despite wrestling on the Jericho Cruise, Daniels’ last televised bout dates back to a Texas Death Match against Adam Page, which he lost.
Wrestling since the early 1990s, Daniels currently has around 1917 listed matches on Cagematch. Although, despite the experience, he believes to have moved on from that space.
BVV: Santana vs. Maclin on TNA Impact, go-home episode of AAA review
While AAA spent the week building up the main event of their next big show, TNA ran with what was supposed to be the main event of their last one.
Both of those shows are reviewed on this week’s Big Vinny V Show.
We finally got to see the full version of Mike Santana defending the TNA World Championship against Steve Maclin and it was worth the wait — a pay per view-caliber match on free TV.
Unfortunately, the rest of the show wasn’t much to write home about. The follow-up to Leon Slater’s loss last week was practically non-existent, the other matches on the show were forgettable at best, and there was way too much Daria Rae. But, at least the main event was good.
Meanwhile, south of the border in AAA, we got the final build for the mask vs. mask match between the Grande Americanos as their flunkies squared off in a quite insane tag match. Oh, and they also had a rematch of a thrilling championship fight, and the announcement of a general manager you might have heard of.
All this and more on the Big Vinny V Show!
Fabian Aichner debut, Santino Marella match, and more part of next week’s TNA Impact
Fabian Aichner is officially set to debut on next week’s TNA Impact episode.
After appearing on last week’s May 14 episode of Impact following Cedric Alexander’s TNA X-Division title win, Aichner is now set to make his debut. Next week, on May 28, Aichner will make his TNA in-ring debut against Eddie Edwards.
In addition to this, next week’s episode will also host two Champions Challenge matches, one for the men’s and one for the knockout division. TNA’s director of authority, Santino Marella, will also face Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo in a singles match next week. Former Knockouts Champion Tessa Blanchard will also face Harley Hudson.
All of these matches were announced toward the closing moments of the May 21, 2026, episode of TNA Impact.
TNA Impact next week’s lineup
- Fabian Aichner vs. Eddie Edwards (with Alisha Edwards)
- Santino Marella vs. Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo (with Arianna Grace)
- Harley Hudson vs. Tessa Blanchard
- Knockouts’ Champion Challenge Match
- Men’s Champion Challenge Match
Jeff Hardy’s Willow has returned to TNA
Jeff Hardy’s Willow persona has finally returned to TNA Wrestling.
After weeks of teasing, Jeff Hardy has finally returned as Willow on TNA Impact. In the second match of the Thursday, May 21, 2026 episode of TNA Impact, fans saw Willow return.
As ‘Broken’ Matt Hardy, with Jeff Hardy in his corner, fought Vincent with Dutch, fans saw Willow come back and help Hardy defeat Vincent. The stipulation of the match saw both Hardy and Dutch handcuffed to the ring posts while the other two participants fought in the ring.
Toward the closing moments of the match, fans saw Vincent hold up the feather as the arena lights went off. Soon after, as the lights came back on, Jeff Hardy was no longer handcuffed to the ring post. Instead, Willow was back. He helped Matt Hardy by taking down Vincent and securing the win.
While Willow made his television return tonight, he was previously featured in a segment a few months ago. Willow’s last in-ring bout dates back to a 2014 episode of Impact Wrestling.
TNA Impact live results: Mike Santana vs. Steve Maclin

***************
Two title fights, two knockout battles and two very weird dudes in what is sure to be a memorable match all make up this week’s TNA Thursday Night Impact!
To kick things off, newly-crowned X Division Champion Cedric Alexander and The System came to the ring to tell us how we can’t beat them. Fun Fact: Other names considered for this group were “City Hall” and “Carolina Hurricanes.”
One by one, each member used their mic time to tell us how they can’t be beat and say “THE SYSTEM” at least 10 times in their piece of the promo pie. Alexander talked about how Leon Slater was one day away from the X Division Championship record and he took that away, hence his new nickname, the “Record Taker.”
He then called out Fabian Aichner who has interrupted his celebration last week. Aichner came out and said that the bigger the fight, the better he is so bring it on, The System! He then challenged Alexander for the X Divison Title. Before he could answer, Edwards and the rest of The System tried to jump him.
Aichner dodged them all and then slapped a choke onto Alexander in the ring. The rest of The System saved him though, sending us careening into a backstage segment with Director of Operations Daria Rae talking to Steve Maclin.
She said that she understands Maclin and knows that he can take out Santana tonight. Maclin said nothing, but it was assumed he agreed.
Elayna Black vs Indi Hartwell
Ariana Grace and Stacks joined the commentary team for this match and immediately made it weird with some mild PDA.
Hartwell took control off the top with some shoving and a lariat. She hit a big boot while Grace complained that she kept looking at her.
Black shoved Hartwell off the ringpost, sending her to the outside in front of the announce table. Black dragged her back into the ring and laid and elbow into the back of Hartwell’s head. Black hit a double stomp, but Hartwell kicked out at two.
Hartwell powered back with a spinebuster and went up top. Stacks hopped up on the ring, causing a distraction so that Grace could knock Hartwell off the ringpost and cause a DQ.
Match Result: Elayna Black vs Indi Hartwell Ended In a Disqualification
After the match, Grace grabbed a mic and lamented that she was no longer Knockouts Champion. That brought out Director of Authority Santino Marella to confront his daughter. He threatened to ground her and called her a brat and Stacks, a stupid face.
Stacks poked Marella in the chest and he pulled the cobra out of his jacket, but Daria Rae came out to say that the whole thing was “embarrassing.” She said that if they want to fight they have to file the correct paperwork and get it approved by the board, proving once again that the paperwork is the hardest part of being a wrestler.
Back from break, the Elegance Brand was shown checking out how good they look. Just as they were talking about a potential Ash By Elegance return, the lights went out. When they came back on, a message from Rosemary and Allie was written on the mirror “See you soon.”
Matt Hardy w/ Jeff Hardy vs Vincent w/ Dutch
So, Dutch and Jeff Hardy will be handcuffed to the ring posts during this match, leaving Matt and Vincent to continue the war between the two teams on their own.
Before The Hardys could enter, Vincent grabbed a mic and said they wanted the Broken Hardys, not Team Extreme. So that’s what he got. Wonderful!
Dutch and Jeff were handcuffed to the turnbuckles (on the same side of the ring which was weird) and we were off. Hardy threw some strikes then went right to biting. He tossed Vincent to the outside an stalked him around the ring.
Vincent went back in and tried a sliced bread, but Hardy countered it. Dutch then tripped Matt behind the ref’s back.
Back from a break, Matt and vincent traded shots in the middle of the ring before succumbing to a double clothesline. Matt bounced Vincent’s head off of six different turnbuckles and then hit a sit out powerbomb for a two count.
Vincent dodged a charge in the ring, but tweaked his ankle in the process. The ref checked on him while Vincent removed his boot. He then tried to use it as a weapon, but Matt countered by biting his foot.
Matt went to end it with a twist of fate, but Vincent countered and rolled him up. Dutch tried to assist, but it was only a two count. Vincent went up top and Matt met him there and bit his hand. Matt went for another twist of fate, but Vincent shoved him into the ref.
Vincent stole the handcuff key from the ref but the lights went out and when they came back on, Willow was standing behind him. Willow took Vincent down then disappeared, allowing Matt to hit a twist of fate a pick up the win.
Match Result: Matt Hardy defeated Vincent
Backstage, Aj Francis approached Elijah about a musical collaboration. Elijah shot him down and Francis said he would regret it.
Back from break, Santino announced that there would be two Champions Challenge matches next week, on mens and one knockouts. Daria Rae arrived to say that Stacks and Santino had been approved by the board for next week. Also, Eddie Edwards will face Fabian Aichner.
TNA International Championship Match: Mustafa Ali [c] vs Chazz “Starboy” Hall
Hall answered Ali’s open challenge and let us know that his nickname is “the Denim Dragon.” Neat. Hall is also a regular on NXT/Evolve. Also neat.
Ali had the veteran’s advantage and used it to keep Hall off his feet. Hall managed to get a rollup, but that just made Ali madder and he bounced his head off the turnbuckle. Hall came back with a chop and an armdrag, sending Ali out of the ring. He then flipped over the top rope to take him out on the outside.
John Skylar caused a distraction and Ali hit a cutter on Hall for a two count. Ali set Hall up on the top turnbuckle and went for a top rope Razor’s edge, but Hall countered it into a headscissor takedown.
Hall turned a moonsault into a really impressive tornado DDT, but Ali kicked out a two. Hall went for sliced bread but Ali countered it into a bridging cover to get the 1-2-3 and retain the title.
Match Result: Mustafa Ali defeated Chazz Hall
Back from break, Eric Young approached Steve Maclin and talked about how Maclin is becoming the man he’s always seen him as. Young said that whoever wins tonight, he’s next in line. Maclin stared straight ahead saying nothing.
Jada Stone vs Xia Brookside
Brookside took control off the top, driving Stone into the corner. Stone fought back with a side headlock takedown and Brookside left the ring to gather her thoughts. She avoided the countout and slapped a half crab on Stone who scrambled to the ropes to break the hold.
Stone matrix-avoided a lariat and hit a rolling elbow on Brookside in the corner. She went to go up top but Brookside caught her and dragged her down by the leg. Brookside worked Stone’s leg, wrapping it around the ropes and then dropkicking it.
Brookside started throwing hands and then went back to working Stone’s leg. Stone got a right hand shot in followed by a lariat. She went up and landed a split legged moonsault, but Brookside kicked out at two.
Brookside took over and hit a Dark Side driver to get a quick 1-2-3 and win the match.
Match Result: Xia Brookside defeated Jada Stone
Backstage, Mike Sanata was walking around and Steve Maclin tried to jump him, in spite of their match being next up.
Back from break, Stacks and Ariana Grace cut another promo about the match next week between Stacks and Santino. They think Stacks is going to win. So there’s that.
TNA World Championship Match: Mike Santana [c] vs Steve Maclin
Then, it was main event time. Santana entered throught the crowd as always and Maclin entered to what I believe was the N64 Wrestlemania 2000 Make-a-Wrestler theme, but I don’t actually know that.
The bell rang and they got right into throwing hands. They ran the ropes and Maclin knocked Santana down with a back elbow. Santana came back with a dropkick. Santana picked up the pace, hitting a senton and Maclin slipped to the outside. Santana followed him via the top turn buckle and landed on him.
Maclin fought back, hitting Santana’s head on the ring post. Maclin went under the ring and pulled out a table. Santana kicked him in the gut and bounced his head off said table. Maclin then hit a chop block on Santana, damaging the knee.
The fight moved back into the ring with Maclin wrapping Santana’s knee in the ropes then dropkicking him back to the outside.
Back from break, Santana had Maclin in a figure four, but Maclin grabbed the ropes to break the hold. Santana hit a three amigos suplex series, but Maclin dodged the last one and Santana kicked him in the face about it.
They got to their feet and traded strikes. Maclin clocked Santana in the back of the head and set up Santana in a tree of woe. Santana got out of it and hit a rolling buck fifty, but Maclin kicked out at two. Santana caught Maclin in a pop up power bomb then immediately hit a blue thunder bomb, but it wasn’t enough and Maclin kicked out.
Maclin hit an olympic slam followed by a driver bomb, but Santana kicked out at 2.5. Maclin pointed to that table he set up earlier and pulled Santana to the top turnbuckle. They fought for a second, but then Santana kicked Maclin off the ringpost and through the table.
Santana pulled Maclin back into the ring and hit a splash, but Maclin somehow kicked out at two. Santana called for spin the block, but Maclin collapsed before he could execute it. Maclin popped up and superkicked Santana, but could make the cover.
Maclin went for KIA but Santana countered with a Spin The Block. He made the cover and got the pin to retain the TNA World Title.
Match Result: Mike Santana defeated Steve Maclin
Next Week: Champions Challenge x2, Stacks vs Santino and Eddie Edwards and Fabian Eichner will also be there.
TNA makes championship announcement for Slammiversary
TNA Slammiversary is set to take place on June 28 at Agganis Arena,Boston.
TNA announced via social media that all championships will be on the line at Slammiversary.
“BREAKING: ALL Championships will be defended at #TNASlammiversary on June 28 LIVE on PPV and TNA+ from the Agganis Arena in Boston.”
The promotion has begun building the match card for the PPV. Last week, TNA confirmed that the Ultimate X match would take place at the pay-per-view. Cedric Alexander will put his newly won X-Division Championship on the line. On the May 14 edition of TNA IMPACT, Alexander ended Leon Slater’s 298-day reign.
With this announcement, TNA World Champion Mike Santana, TNA International Champion Mustafa Ali, TNA World Tag Team Champions The System, TNA Knockouts World Championship Léi Yǐng Lee and TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship The Elegance Brand will be featured on the card.
This is the 22nd year of the TNA PPV. The event collides with AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on the same day. However, the differing start times avoid a direct clash, allowing wrestling fans the opportunity to follow both major events through the weekend.
MJF pumping the brakes on criticism of TNA President Carlos Silva
MJF is softening his tone in regards to TNA President Carlos Silva.
A match between MJF and TNA star Nic Nemeth was scheduled to take place for indie promotion Create-A-Pro earlier this month, but the bout ended up being canceled after a new policy was instituted by Silva. Citing partner conflicts, Silva put a stop to any indie matches that would have pitted TNA talent against wrestlers from AEW. The decision was made after an episode of AEW Collision was moved opposite TNA Impact on April 2 due to the NCAA men’s college basketball tournament.
In the wake of this, MJF called Silva a “dumb motherf***er” and accused him of lying. But the former AEW World Champion was a bit more cordial during his appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show this week. MJF said he’s heard from people that Silva is a good guy who is learning on the job after having no prior experience in pro wrestling.
“The truth is he didn’t want AEW talent to go up against TNA talent because he thought that my boss intentionally put, I believe it was a Collision, on the same night as TNA,” MJF said. “Even though every single year, I believe it’s the college basketball playoffs, I’m not sure, but I just know every single year during a specific season of the year we get pushed to — are they on Tuesdays or Thursdays? I don’t even f***ing remember. Thursdays, sorry. We get pushed to Thursdays. He thought that we intentionally asked Warner Bros. Discovery. We were preempted. And he didn’t know that, so because he didn’t know that, he got offended. And then he pulled a couple of matches off. I was offended because, A: You’re taking a match away from me that I was looking forward to, I was looking forward to beating the sh*t out of Nic Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler. And B: You’re taking money out of people’s pockets.
“So I was a little upset, but I have been informed that this guy’s getting smarter to the business, he’s fairly green, he’s fairly new, and he’s learning on the job. And I’ve been told that he’s a good guy, so I’ve pumped the brakes a little bit on ol’ Carlos Silva. He’s learning on the job.”
Silva was named president of TNA in February 2025. Already an executive for TNA’s parent company Anthem Sports & Entertainment, Silva did not work in wrestling prior to this but was a top executive for MMA promotions PFL/World Series of Fighting.
AEW Forbidden Door & TNA Slammiversary no longer set for direct competition —
AEW and TNA were set to go head-to-head on June 28 when the companies present their respective Forbidden Door and Slammiversary pay-per-views. However, Slammiversary has moved its start time to the afternoon and will not be going directly against the AEW event.
BVV: AAA treads water, TNA sinks
TNA and AAA both put out TV shows this week, and one of those promotions managed to avoid shooting themselves in the dick.
Impact was a good example of everything right and wrong with TNA: a talented roster and good wrestling, but some mind-boggling booking and a crippling phobia of creating new stars.
So we’ll get into Cedric Alexander’s defeat of Leon Slater, why it was even worse in execution than it sounds on paper, and what possible thought process might have been going through their heads. Also, why Mike Santana’s top rival as world champion is apparently the dreaded heel authority figure.
To be fair, we will also explain why Alexander vs. Slater was a certified banger of a match, but it wasn’t even the best thing on the show. That honor goes to AJ Francis vs. KC Navarro in a street fight.
As for AAA, well, the build for Noche de los Grandes peaked two weeks ago, and now we’re all just twiddling our thumbs waiting for May 30.
We’ll lay it all out on the Big Vinny V Show!
