The Hardys and Joe Hendry expected at AAA Triplemania Regia

Posted on by Ian Carey

TNA stars The Hardys and Joe Hendry are expected to be announced for AAA Triplemania Regia.

The June 15 event in Monterrey takes place just eight days after WWE and AAA present Worlds Collide from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on June 7. Angel and Berto were confirmed for the show yesterday, and our own Dave Meltzer is reporting that Hendry and the Hardys will also be working the event.

Meltzer said on Tuesday’s Wrestling Observer Radio:

“I don’t know if this has been announced yet, but very interesting that the other names being sent are the Hardy brothers and Joe Hendry, which tells you about the relationship with TNA and WWE.”

“Obviously, Rey Mysterio can’t go because he tore his groin and had surgery but (AAA) were hoping for Penta, Fenix, Dominik Mysterio, Chad Gable, and big stars because it’s supposed to be a big show.”

“Angel and Berto, they’re not big WWE stars, but they are, in theory, stars in Monterrey. And the other names are the Hardys and Joe Hendry, who are not big names in Mexico, although the Hardys have been to Mexico before.”

AAA Triplemania XXXIII Regia is set for Sunday, June 15, 2025, at Arena Monterrey. This will be the fifth time a Triplemania event has been held in Monterrey, a city nicknamed La Ciudad Regia or “The Regal City.” Just two days later and about 560 miles away, AEW will make its Mexican debut in collaboration with CMLL, running a show at Arena Mexico in Mexico City on Tuesday, June 17, 2025.

***********

Countdown To TNA Rebellion Kicks Off

Gia Miller, O’Shea Jackson Jr. from the No Contest Wrestling podcast, as well as Dave LeGreca and Tommy Dreamer from SiriusXM’s Busted Open Radio are shown seated at a table at the top of the entrance stage as the ‘Countdown to TNA Rebellion’ kicks off from inside the Galen Center.

Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx) vs. Lei Ying Lee, Rosemary & Xia Brookside

After running down the lineup and giving their respective thoughts on the matches, they send things to Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt at ringside, who introduce the first of two pre-show matches. Out comes NXT trio Fatal Influence — Fallon Henley, Jacy Jane and Jazmyn Nyx.

The trio settles inside the squared circle and their music dies down. Out next is the first two of their three opponents, Lei Ying Lee and Xia Brookside, who come out together. The third member of their team, Rosemary, comes out by herself next.

As soon as they reach the ringside area, the three babyfaces attack the three NXT Superstars before the bell. Inside the ring, Henley goes to work on Brookside as the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Rosemary gets the tag and takes over. She calls out Jane, who comes in.

Rosemary teases the green mist spray, leading to Jane falling to her butt and scooting back. Henley comes in off the tag and gets bullied into the corner and overwhelmed by Rosemary. Rosemary goes for a roll-up, but Henley tags on the way down. Jane catches Rosemary with a knee before entering the ring.

Inside the ring, Jane adds to the offensive lead, helping Fatal Influence settle in their first prolonged lead of the match. Fans break out in a “NXT! NXT!” chant. A different group of fans drown that out with “TNA! TNA!” chants. Nyx tags in and picks up where Jane left off, taking it to Rosemary.

As the action continues, we see the babyface team hit back-to-back-to-back dives to the Fatal Influence team at ringside. Back in the ring, Jane and Brookside land simultaneous pump-kicks.

Rosemary tries sliding brass knuckles on Brookside, who gets up and dramatically refuses to use them. Jane blasts her from behind for the win. Rosemary stands at ringside looking angry about Brookside’s refusal.

Match Result: Fatal Influence defeated Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Rosemary

Eric Young Sends A Message To Steve Maclin

Backstage, Eric Young is shown with The Northern Armory. He talks into the camera about the word Rebellion and how it derives from Rebellious. He talks about his rebellious spirit and how he isn’t here alone tonight, but Steve Maclin is. He doesn’t plan on leaving without the TNA International Title.

The System Are Ready For Tonight

Backstage, The System are shown talking about their various matches tonight. Alisha Edwards asks if we want to know something. Moose vows to win the Ultimate X title tilt tonight and then help out The System with the rest of their matches.

Up walks Cody Deaner who mentions needing to prove something. He asks to take JDC’s spot in the match against The Rascalz and Ace Austin. The System call him a loser and walk off.

Elijah vs. Shane Haste

Elijah comes out strumming a guitar and doing some singing about Los Angeles-related sports and pop culture references, before settling in the ring to find out who is going to “Walk with Elijah” in this special open challenge on ‘Countdown to TNA Rebellion.’

The TMDK tron plays and out representing them comes Shane Haste. He settles inside the squared circle and the bell sounds to get things started. Elijah immediately takes the early offensive lead. He slams Haste’s head down on the ring apron from the floor.

Elijah continues to control the action for a few more minutes, and then Haste finally slows down his momentum and shifts things into his own favor. He connects with a side-suplex for a close two-count. Elijah floats-over on another move attempt, and counters with a big move of his own.

We see Elijah go for a follow-up, but he eats a falcon arrow from Haste. Haste then connects with a vicious kick that shatters the spine of Elijah. He looks for Bomb Valley Death, but Elijah escapes and blasts Haste with a flying knee. He hits Elijah with the Highwayman’s Farewell piledriver for the win.

Match Result: Elijah defeated Shane Haste

TNA X-Division Championship Ultimate X Match
Moose (c) vs. Matt Cardona vs. KC Navarro vs. Sidney Akeem vs. Leon Slater vs. El Hijo del Vikingo

After the performance of the national anthem and cold open video package, the pay-per-view portion of TNA Rebellion 2025 gets underway with the Ultimate X match for the TNA X-Division Championship. “Alwayz Ready” Matt Cardona’s theme hits and out he comes first. Then KC Navarro comes out with AJ Francis, Sidney Akeem comes out after that, and then Leon Slater.

Mikey and Jackson, “his biggest fans,” accompany El Hijo del Vikingo to the ring when he comes out as the last challenger before the champion made his entrance. Afterwards, the lights go down, the awesome theme for Moose hits and the reigning TNA X-Division Champion, who is legitimately afraid of heights, heads out for his title defense.

As soon as the bell sounds, all of the competitors start trading shots all over the place. Within seconds we see three or four bodies hanging from the Ultimate X wires above the ring. Nothing comes from it, and the whole field gets cleared out, leaving Moose in the ring.

Moose, afraid of heights, unfolds a steel chair and stands on it to try and reach the title. Not even close. More bodies start filling up the ring. We see El Hijo del Vikingo hit a big dive from the ropes to the floor. Moments later, Sidney Akeem hits a picture-perfect moonsault off the ropes to a pile of bodies at ringside.

Up next, Moose hits a powerbomb on Akeem from the ring to a pile of bodies on the floor. Moose then calls out to Alisha Edwards to climb for him. She takes her coat off and begins doing exactly that. Alisha stops and hesitates, but Moose begs her to continue. She does.

Alisha gets all the way up and is hanging from her legs and hands, crawling the wire to the center. She loses her footing and her legs fall. She kicks her legs and falls, but Moose catches her. While holding her, Slater hits the ring and super kicks Moose. Moose falls and Alisha rolls to the floor.

Slater and del Vikingo are on the ropes together. Slater propels off a push from del Vikingo all the way to the wire. He hangs from it and hits a spot off of it to del Vikingo. Navarro hits the ring and takes them both out for a ton of heat. He then looks up and begins his climb. Akeem stops him.

Navarro ends up hanging off the wire, where he lets go and connects with a wild tornado DDT to Slater. Cardona enters the mix but eats some kicks from Navarro. Navarro hits Cardona with his own re-boot spot in the corner.

As the action continues, AJ Francis, who was introduced as a special guest commentator at the start, only for his microphone to never work and him never actually doing it, he appears in the ring and hits his finisher and cleans house. Francis gets Navarro on his shoulders and walks him to right under the title.

Navarro hangs on and Moose spears Francis. Moose reaches up and power bombs Navarro down, but then turns and walks into Radio Silence from Cardona. Cardona turns into a leg-lariat from Slater. Slater climbs the 15-foot podium holding the wires in the corner.

He hits a leaping 450-senton onto a pile of bodies at ringside. They don’t catch him that well, and with full momentum his body smacks the mat on the floor. Ouch. Scary. He gets up and plays to the crowd and appears okay. How? Who knows. He gets up the wires again and climbs to the middle.

He unhooks the title, but they say it’s not over until he drops down. He goes to drop down, and does, but upon landing gets speared by Moose. Moose steps over him, picks up the title, and is declared the winner. Not as smooth as planned.

Match Result: Moose retains the TNA X-Division Championship

Joe Hendry’s WrestleMania ‘Moment’

After the PPV opener wraps up, a lengthy video package airs to show Joe Hendry’s “WrestleMania Moment.” That’s what they called it, don’t shoot the messenger. The best part is after it wraps up, they’ve got to make a big deal out of that guy being their main event later tonight. Whoops!

TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships
Ash & Heather By Elegance (c) vs. Spitfire (Jody Threat & Dani Luna) vs. Tatum Paxley & Gigi Dolin vs. The Meta-Four (Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend)

Inside the Galen Center again, the theme for Spitfire hits and out comes Jody Threat and Dani Luna. They settle in the ring for the next title tilt of the evening. Out next from WWE NXT are Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin, as well as The Meta-Four duo of Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend.

Finally, the reigning and defending TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions Ash By Elegance and Heather By Elegance make their way out to the custom ring introduction by their own personal concierge, George Iceman. “The Liaison” between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling, Arianna Grace, sits in on special guest commentary. Her microphone works.

Ash and Heather are dressed up like Playboy bunnies, complete with the little bunny ears, etc. The tag-lines graphic shows some notable stats and while it’s still full screen, we hear the bell sound and the crowd pop as the action begins off-camera in the background. Ash and Paxley kick things off.

Ash tags Heather before anything happens. Paxley crawls around and freaks out Heather, too, who then tags out before anything happens. Luna comes in and she and Paxley finally start mixing it up in the early goings.

Hannifan mentions Threat having her hand wrapped up due to an injury she sustained doing jiu-jitsu. We see back-to-back-to-back ring-to-floor high spots. Dolin hits a Whisper in the Wind as the last one, until Jackson stops Heather’s attempted dive.

She picks her up and military press slams her onto the pile. She then puts Legend on her shoulders and Legend dives onto the pile of bodies at ringside. Back in the ring, Jackson tags in. Dolin tilt-a-whirls around Jackson into a roll-up for a two-count.

We see spot-fest 2025 break out, as each team has one member hit a finisher in sequential fashion. This leads to two big stacked suplex spots on each side of the ring. Maggie Lee runs out and holds onto Ash on one side, setting her up to hit her Rarified Air finisher for the pinfall to retain.

Match Result: Ash & Heather By Elegance win to retain TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships

TNA Injury Report & A Word From Elijah

After the TNA Injury Report presented by Bioflex airs with updates on Joe Hendry’s status, Zachary Wentz, and Sami Callihan and Mance Warner’s aftermath from their violent Barbed Wire Massacre match, we shoot backstage live to see Joe Hendry’s shoulder being checked on by the TNA medical team.

Backstage live, Elijah talks directly into the camera about winning his first-ever “Walk With Elijah” open challenge earlier in the evening. He says now he gets to sit-back and watch his friend, Joe Hendry, retain his TNA Championship. He believes in him and he’ll be sitting back enjoying it like everyone else.

The System (Moose, Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers) (w/ Alisha Edwards) vs. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) & Ace Austin (w/ Sean Waltman)

Back inside the Galen Center, The System’s theme hits. Out comes the group consisting of Moose, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers, accompanied by Alisha Edwards. They touch their System rings and begin their walk to the ring. Moose will be competing for the second time this evening.

Next, Ace Austin’s theme hits and out comes the ABC member by himself. His music dies down and he waits for his partners. The Rascalz theme hits and out comes Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz. They stop and do the nWo side-pointing gesture as Sean Waltman makes his way out to accompany them.

The bell sounds and it will be Wentz and Myers kicking things off for their respective teams. Went tries to pose to the crowd, which leads to Myers blasting him with a big boot to the bread basket to get things going. Wentz fights back, lays out Myers and tags in Miguel for a double-team spot.

After some initial back-and-forth follow-up action, things begin to pick up. Alisha keeps getting involved at ringside, leading to Waltman informing the referee. This happens one time too many, with Alisha entering the ring. Waltman confronts her. She goes to smack him, but he hits her with an X-Factor.

Waltman and the rest of the guys do the suck-it gesture together, and then The Rascalz and Austin hit Bronco Busters in three corners at the same time with him. Moose goes for a spear, but dives into an X-Factor from Wentz. He and Miguel follow-up with the finish for the win. Waltman celebrates with them. Fun.

Match Result: The Rascalz & Ace Austin (w/ Sean Waltman) defeat The System (w/ Alisha Edwards)

TNA International Championship
Steve Maclin (c) vs. Eric Young

It’s time for another title tilt, but first, Gia Miller is backstage trying to get a word with TNA International Champion Steve Maclin. She asks if he’s ready for this fight with his friend, Eric Young. He doesn’t respond or even react facially. After a long pause, he smirks and walks off.

Back inside the Galen Center, the lights go down and the theme for Eric Young hits. Out comes “The World Class Maniac” accompanied by The Northern Armory duo of Judas Icarus and Travis Williams.

Reigning and defending TNA International Champion “Bulletproof” Steve Maclin is out next with his “Dead Presidents” movie-style entrance mask on. He takes it off, lays his title in front of him and looks ready for battle.

The commentators talk about Young sliding Maclin the mask as his final offer to join The Northern Armory last week. Judas and Williams run up but Maclin lays them out and continues to the ring. He and Young lock eyes, the bell sounds, and they begin to battle.

Young takes the initial offensive lead, but it doesn’t last long, as Maclin fights back and hits a diving Air-Raid style high spot from the ring to the floor on Young and The Northern Armory duo. Back in the ring, Icarus tries getting involved to protect Young.

This leads to Maclin heading out to deal with him, only to be attacked by Williams. They send him back into Young, who goes for the cover, but only gets two. They continue to get involved, leading to the referee ejecting them from ringside.

Maclin fires up and has Young hanging upside down in the tree of woe in the corner. He goes for the spear, but Young does a sit-up and Maclin goes sailing through the ropes, where he crashes and burns hard on the floor.

The top of his head is cut badly. The referee puts on some gloves to check him. The doctor also checks on him. After the action resumes in the ring, literally out of nowhere, Maclin rolls Young up and hooks a leg for the win.

As soon as the match ends, Maclin is attacked by The Northern Armory, who come back out and help Young hang Maclin over the ropes with a giant steel chain. That’s how the post-match scene wraps up.

Match Result: Steve Maclin defeated Eric Young to retain TNA International Championship

Falls Count Anywhere
Mike Santana vs. Mustafa Ali

The commentary duo of Hannifan and Rehwoldt set the stage for the next match of the evening, which is the Falls Count Anywhere match between bitter rivals Mike Santana and Mustafa Ali. The elaborate pre-match package airs to show the road leading to tonight’s showdown.

Once the package wraps up, some Indian-dressed ladies come out dancing while a dude in Indian garb bangs on a drum at the beginning of the entrance aisle. Very upbeat, happy-go-lucky feel to it right before this Falls Count Anywhere blood-feud stemming from addiction issues gets going.

This transitions into the regular dramatic entrance tune for Mustafa Ali. Out first comes Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands duo of John Skyler and Jason Hotch in suits. Ali then comes out in his fancy ring gear with a look of focus in his eyes. He settles in the ring and is ready to rock and roll.

Two guys that are referenced as two decorated boxing champions are shown backstage with a bunch of alphabet-soup belts. Never heard of either of them, and I’m pretty well-versed in the sport of the sweet science. Anyways, they join Mike Santana for his hip-hop walk through the crowd.

The commentators point out that Santana is wearing a vest gifted to him by Homicide. His tights are a tip of the cap to another wrestling legend, Bret “The Hitman” Hart. The bell sounds and the two begin hockey-duking it out in the middle of the ring. Ali knocks Santana to the floor and hits a dive.

Santana takes apart the ring steps. He drags over the bottom half to the end of the entrance aisle. He sits it on its’ side, so it’s up long ways and kind of jagged. He picks Ali up, but Ali slams Santana face-first into what Hannifan calls the diving plate.

He goes for a running dive through the ropes but is sent head-first into the steel steps. The rest of his body folds over him in a scene that looked ugly. Not as bad as Leon Slater’s early in the evening, but just as scary in terms of potential disastrous consequences.

Like Slater, Ali seems fine somehow. Santana continues to beat Ali down as they fight through the crowd. He grabs a bucket of popcorn and whacks Ali with it. Somehow that dropped him to one knee. Must be stale popcorn. Santana climbs up one level and leaps off the barricade with a moonsault for a two-count.

As they continue to fight through the crowd, The Great Hands get blatantly involved. They double-team Santana, leading to Ali hitting a huge balcony dive onto all of them. He tries for a pin on Santana, but only gets a two-count. Fans chant “This is Awesome!” as they fight back to ringside.

Ali sets up to folding chairs. He unfolds them and faces them towards each other. He sits Santana on them and backs up. He charges at Santana, who pops up and in one quick motion, hoists Ali up for a death valley driver onto the pair of chairs. Ouch.

In another wild high spot, Ali has Santana laid out on the hard part of the ring apron outside of the ring ropes. He’s slumped over against the turnbuckles outside of the ropes, with a steel chair laying in front of his face.

Ali does a top-rope coast-to-coast, connects, but then bounces violently off the unforgiving apron to the floor. Moments after that, Ali hits a 450 splash off the top-rope to put Santana through a table at ringside. In the rubble, he goes for the cover, but somehow Santana kicks out.

Half of the ring steps are brought into the ring and set up long-ways in the corner. The Great Hands hit the ring and try and handcuff Santana, but he hits a double Spin the Block on them both. He cuffs them both to the aforementioned steps in the ring.

Santana’s big-reveal follow-up is hurt a bit, as he looks under the ring for something, and obviously has a one-in-four chance of checking the right spot. Let’s just say it took him four tries to find what turned out to be a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat.

Before he can use it, Ali attacks. Tasha Steelz heads under the ring and on her first attempt, pulls out another table and sets it up as the L.A. crowd goes wild. Ali is shown smiling as he watches her set it up from the ring.

Ali picks up Santana, who whips him into the ring post. Steelz slaps Santana. Santana points at her. She tries another slap, he catches it and hoists her up for a leaping power bomb off the ring apron through the table. A lot of man-on-woman violence tonight at TNA Rebellion.

As the crowd is going wild, and Santana is playing to them, he is whacked from behind by a steel chair from Ali. Ali pulls out a third table and slides it into the ring. The Great Hands are shown cuffed to the steps. Ali ignores them and sets the table up.

Ali heads up to the top-rope behind the steel steps that The Great Hands are cuffed to. Santana stops him and climbs up the steps. From up top there, he hits a super-duper-plex through the table. He goes for the immediate follow-up cover, yet somehow Ali klicks out. Santana hits Ali with the barbed wire bat and connects with his Spin The Block finisher for the win. Excellent, excellent match.

Match Result: Mike Santana defeated Mustafa Ali

Indi Hartwell ‘Crosses The Line,’ Joins TNA Knockouts Division

Immediately following the instant classic Falls Count Anywhere match, TNA broadcast member Gia Miller conducted a live interview at ringside.

Miller spoke with former WWE and WWE NXT Superstar Indi Hartwell in the front row, confirming that she has joined the TNA Knockouts division.

It was later confirmed by Hannifan and Rehwoldt that we will hear from Indi Hartwell on this coming Thursday’s special live episode of TNA iMPACT on AXS TV, Sportsnet 360 and TNA+.

TNA Knockouts Championship
Masha Slamovich (c) vs. Tessa Blanchard

Speaking of Knockouts, the TNA Knockouts Championship match is up next as part of what they are referring to as one of three matches featured as the triple-main event of TNA Rebellion. The pre-match video package airs to tell the story leading up to Masha Slamovich vs. Tessa Blanchard.

The package wraps up and upon returning inside the Galen Center, the theme for Tessa Blanchard hits and the challenger makes her way to the ring. The reigning and defending TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich is out next.

As soon as Slamovich hits the ring, she hits a senton off the apron onto Blanchard to get things started with a bang. She follows up on Blanchard on the floor, but soon after, Blanchard shifts the momentum into her favor.

Blanchard begins dominating the champion, focusing her offensive attack on the leg of Slamovich. Blanchard yanks the knee pad of Slamovich down and continues to isolate the limb of the defending champion. Slamovich fights back and hits Code Red to slow down Blanchard’s momentum.

Slamovich connects with a back-fist and follows up with a German suplex for a two-count. She pounds on her own knee to try and get the feeling back in it. The crowd rallies behind her as she sets up for Requiem. Blanchard avoids it and counters. She hits a dragon screw on Slamovich’s bum wheel.

After some more brief back-and-forth action, Blanchard hits a huge high spot off the top-rope, but Slamovich rolls through and pops up to her feet for a big knee. She then follows up with a modified armbar for the submission win to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship.

Match Result: Masha Slamovich defeats Tessa Blanchard to retain TNA Knockouts Championship

TNA World Tag-Team Championships
The Hardys (c) vs. The Nemeth Brothers

The pre-match video package airs to tell the story leading up to part two of our three-part triple-main event at TNA Rebellion. The TNA World Tag-Team Championships will be on-the-line as The Hardys duo of Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy defend against The Nemeth Brothers of Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth.

The tag lines graphic flashes on the screen with some notable stats that Hannifan runs down as fans are heard very loudly chanting “Hardy! Hardy! in anticipation in the background. We hear the familiar sounds of the unzip and the, well, pleased female moan, before Nic and Ryan Nemeth emerge.

The Nemeth Brothers make their way out wearing the TNA World Tag-Team Championships, which still belong to The Hardys, but were stolen by Nic and Ryan during their visit to the creepy Hardy Compound on the TNA Rebellion “go-home” episode of TNA iMPACT this past Thursday night.

After a healthy delay, the iconic sounds of The Hardys’ theme hits and the roof nearly explodes off of the Galen Center, as the legendary duo of Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy emerge and head to the ring to a sustained roar from the L.A. crowd.

Joe Hendry is the only man on the roster anywhere near their level in terms of crowd reactions week-to-week. As soon as they hit the ring, they tussle briefly with The Nemeth Bros. Nic and Ryan bail to the floor, leaving Jeff and Matt to reclaim their belts. They pose with them on the ropes.

The referee takes the titles and holds them up high to show all four men what’s at stake in this one. Fans chant “Hardy! Hardy!” in the background. The bell sounds and all four collide once again. Jeff and Ryan powder out to the floor, while Matt goes to work on Nic in the corner.

Matt is isolated in the ring for a while, and is on the defensive the entire time. He finally makes the much-needed hot tag to Jeff, who helps shift the offensive momentum in the favor of The Hardys. They appeared to be wrapping things up, when Matt walks into the referee’s arm in mid-pin count.

This allows things to continue. Matt heads out to deal with Ryan at ringside. He ends up getting slammed in violent fashion on an unfolded steel chair set up on the floor. Meanwhile back in the ring, Nic hits Danger Zone on Jeff and covers him for the win. We have new TNA World Tag-Team Champions.

Match Result: The Nemeth Brothers defeated The Hardys to capture the TNA World Tag-Team Championships

TNA World Championship
Joe Hendry (c) vs. Ethan Page vs. Frankie Kazarian

The pre-show panelists, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Gia Miller, Tommy Dreamer and Dave LaGreca are joined by TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella at the top of the entrance stage. They give their predictions, with Jackson Jr. picking Ethan Page and the rest proclaiming they “believe in Joe Hendry.”

Santino then directs our attention to the big screen. The pre-match video package airs to tell the story leading up to our third and final portion of tonight’s triple-main event. When it wraps up, the Tale of the Tape graphic flashes on the screen.

Frankie Kazarian’s theme hits and out comes the Call Your Shot winner, who is cashing in his title opportunity in this triple-threat title tilt tonight. WWE NXT Superstar Ethan Page makes his way out next. Last, but certainly not least, Joe Hendry’s theme hits and the crowd erupts as the TNA World Champion emerges.

The ring announcer handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for the champion and the challengers, and then the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running in our final match of the evening. The commentators are quick to point out Hendry’s heavily taped up injured shoulder.

Hendry takes the initial offensive lead, looking for his Standing Ovation finisher straight out of the gate. Page starts to take over, focusing his attack on the aforementioned injured shoulder and arm of Hendry. Page hits a big suplex on Hendry into Kazarian as he was trying to get back into the ring.

Kazarian pulls out a table and enters it into the mix, prompting Hannifan and Rehwoldt to remind everyone that there are no rules in triple-threat matches, so it is perfectly legal to use. Kazarian heads into the ring and starts to go to work on Page, and then Hendry.

Hendry begins no-selling his punches. Kazarian rolls him up, sees Page coming, and hits him with a suplex into a bridge for a double pin attempt on Page and Hendry for a count of two. Kazarian looks for the Chicken Wing on Page, but Page backs him into the corner over-and-over again to free himself.

We see a wild power bomb and super-plex combo stacked spot out of the corner. Kazarian is sent crashing into the timekeeper on the floor. Page hits a draping DDT to Hendry on the floor. The Call Your Shot gauntlet trophy is used as a weapon. Back in the ring, Kazarian mocks Hendry and hits Fade To Black. He goes for the cover, but Page breaks it up.

Page hits a knee to Kazarian but then walks into an Olympic Slam from Hendry. Kazarian hits Angels Wings for a close two count of his own. All three guys are down and recovering as fans chant “This is Awesome.” Kazarian slaps the Chicken Wing on the bad shoulder of Hendry. They back body drop Page still in the hold. Hendry begins fading until a loud “We Believe” chant brings him back to life.

Kazarian tries Fade to Black on Hendry from the ring apron through the table. Hendry escapes and hits an Attitude Adjustment on Kazarian through the table on the floor. Back in the ring, Hendry goes for Standing Ovation, but Page tries countering into a RKO out of nowhere in a repeat of WrestleMania. Hendry avoids it and seconds later does connect with his Standing Ovation for the win to retain his TNA World Championship.

Match Result: Joe Hendry defeated Ethan Page and Frankie Kazarian to retain the TNA World Championship

Trick Williams “Whoops That Trick” Named Joe Hendry

Once the main event of the evening wraps up, Joe Hendry’s viral smash hit theme song plays as Hannifan and Rehwoldt sing his praises and begin wrapping up the broadcast. Just as they thank the fans for tuning in, out of nowhere, Hendry turns into a pump kick from WWE NXT Superstar Trick Williams.

The crowd is in shock. Hannifan and Rehwoldt are at a loss for words as well. Williams has an evil look in his eyes as he takes in the L.A. crowd inside the Galen Center. He waits for Hendry to get up and hits his Trick Shot finisher on him to leave him laying. That’s how TNA Rebellion goes off the air.

Thanks for joining us and don’t forget to follow F4WOnline.com’s Matt Boone on Twitter/X.

**********
Eric Young defeated JDC and Zachary Wentz to qualify for the TNA International Championship three-way

The cold open video package kicks the show off, and then Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome the viewing audience into the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, NV. The familiar sounds of Eric Young’s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring for the opening contest.

Out next is JDC of The System, followed by Zachary Wentz of The Rascalz. The bell sounds to get the first of two qualifying matches for the first-ever TNA International Championship bout later in the show underway.

JDC and Young chase Wentz around the ring trying to team up on him out of the gate, but Wentz avoids them and then taunts JDC with a Fandango dance. Young and JDC finally get their hands on Wentz and double-team him in the corner.

He kicks his way free and then hits a spinning senton off the middle rope onto both of them. They roll out to the floor, where he hits a moonsault to both off the ropes. In the ring again, Wentz hits a cross-body splash onto both for a double-pin attempt that results in a two-count.

After kicking out, the JDC and Young alliance reemerges and they shift the offensive momentum back in their favor. JDC is the first to break the alliance, hitting a DDT on Young while slamming Wentz. Wentz fires up on offense in a big way, but ultimately Young takes over and hits a piledriver for the win.

Match Result: Eric Young defeated JDC and Zachary Wentz

Steve Maclin defeated Eddie Edwards and Ace Austin to qualify for the TNA International Championship three-way

After a quick on-camera check-in from Hannifan and Rehwoldt at ringside, we head back to the ring for the final qualifier to determine the third and final competitor in the inaugural TNA International Championship match later in the show.

Ace Austin of ABC makes his way out first. He is wearing the special Chris Bey Unbreakable limited t-shirt, 100% of the proceeds of which go to Chris Bey’s recovery. The System’s Eddie Edwards makes his way out next accompanied by Alisha Edwards.

“Bulletproof” Steve Maclin is the third and final competitor to make his way to the ring. Highlights are shown of Edwards beating Maclin and the drama that followed with Young and The Northern Armory. The bell sounds and the three stare each other down and then all trade strikes.

Maclin takes the early offensive lead. With Austin on the floor selling, Maclin takes Edwards to the top. He looks for a Super Olympic slam. Austin re-enters the ring and joins the fun for a three-man stacked spot. He hits a powerbomb on Maclin, at the same time Maclin is hitting his Olympic slam on Edwards.

Fans break out in a loud “This is Awesome!” chant after the stacked tower of destruction sequence. Edwards tries stealing the win with a roll-up and a handful of tights on Austin, but only gets two. Austin blasts Edwards with a spinning heel kick.

He heads to the top, but Alisha Edwards knocks him down. The crowd boos and breaks out in a loud “F**k The System” chant. The second of the night for those keeping score. Edwards climbs up to Austin and hits a belly-to-back suplex. He ends up hanging by one foot in the corner.

The referee and Maclin quickly try and help Edwards escape. Alisha hopped on the apron as well to help. They free him and then Maclin goes for K.I.A. on Edwards, only for Alisha to hop on the apron. They jaw at each other. Alisha goes for a smack but accidentally hits Eddie.

Eddie turns into a K.I.A. from Maclin, who follows up with the pin. With the win he qualifies for the TNA International Championship match against Eric Young and AJ Francis later in the show.

Match Result: Steve Maclin defeated Eddie Edwards and Ace Austin

Moose defeated Sidney Akeem in an Open Challenge

Shawne Merriman, the CEO of Lights Out Fighting appears to promote his May 10 special event in Long Beach, California. The former NFL player, who himself is no stranger to TNA, joins Hannifan and Rehwoldt.

After promoting his show, they bring up his history in costing Joe Hendry a match a year ago. He says he’s not a believer. The crowd boos. They promote the next match, which they mention features another former gridiron great.

With that said, TNA X-Division Champion and member of The System, Moose, makes his always-epic ring entrance. Alisha Edwards accompanies him to the ring for his scheduled open challenge to “the greatest high-flyer in Las Vegas.”

After the champ settles in the ring, after a delay, the theme for his opponent hits and out comes Sidney Akeem, formerly known as Reggie and Reginald in WWE. Moose smiles. The bell sounds to get things started and within seconds Moose is manhandling and overpowering his smaller opposition.

Akeem gets a chance to show off his flipping ability a time or two before Moose begins showing off his power some more, Donkey Kong’ing the former WWE Superstar onto any surface he can find, including a powerbomb from the floor to the ring apron.

Moose heads over to pound fists with Merriman on commentary before going back to work on the much smaller Akeem. Akeem gets in another hope spot and celebrates with the UNLV Hockey team in the crowd, the team that was publicly invited to the show.

Moose takes over and shoves one of the hockey guys, who shoves him back. Looked eerily similar to Bam Bam Bigelow and Lawrence Taylor from WWE’s past. Akeem shows off his acrobatic abilities again, flipping into a cool cutter.

Akeem follows up for a close pin attempt that only ended because Alisha pulled the referee out of the ring. The referee and Alisha bicker at ringside for what feels like forever before the ref ultimately ejects her from ringside for a big pop. Moose low-blows Akeem in the ring before the ref returns.

Moose follows up with a massive spear that nearly beheads Akeem. He goes for the cover and gets the easy 1-2-3 for the pinfall victory in a match that featured as many bells and whistles as one could possibly imagine. They thank Merriman on commentary and he heads off.

Match Result: Moose defeated Sidney Akeem

Steve Maclin Approaches Eric Young Ahead Of TNA International Title Tilt

Backstage, Steve Maclin tries to have a buddy-to-buddy chat with Eric Young about their friendship. He tells them may the best man win in the TNA International Championship match they are both in along with AJ Francis tonight.

He walks off and Young mumbles something under his breath about the best man winning, with a not-so-friendly look on his face. We see a “TNA Injury Report presented by Bioflex” covering Joe Hendry’s injury status.

Mike Santana, Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy defeated Mustafa Ali, Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth

Back inside the arena, the theme for Mustafa Ali hits and out he comers for the next match of the evening, a featured six-man battle. His partners, The Nemeth Brothers duo of Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth, come out next.

Mike Santana makes his way through the crowd, Jey Uso minus-the-YEET-style. The iconic sounds of The Hardy Boys theme hits next to bring out his partners, the legendary duo of Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy. The bell sounds to get things started, and immediately Matt and Nic pick up where their bloody cage post-match beatdown left off.

The others enter the mix and it’s total chaos to get things started. When the dust settles and the smoke clears, Santana is beating on Ryan Nemeth in the corner as the legal two men in the ring. Ali tags in, but so does Matt, and he bounces Ali’s dome off the turnbuckles to chants of “DELETE! DELETE!”

Matt ends up isolated in the ring for several minutes as Nic, Ryan and Mustafa take turns tagging in and out to keep a fresh man at him at all times. Even that isn’t enough, as they begin sneaking in double-team and other cheap heel tactics behind the referee’s back.

Eventually, Jeff Hardy gets the much-needed hot tag and he immediately begins shifting the offensive momentum in his team’s favor. He hits a big Whisper in the Wind off the ropes to take out all three opponents.

Others filter in. Santana hits a Rolling Buck 50 but walks into a DDT from Ryan, who walks into a Twist of Fate from Jeff. Ali rolls in with a neckbreaker on Jeff. Ali backs into Santana and does the slow turn. Santana grabs him by the hair and throws him in the corner, but runs into a big kick.

Ali rolls for a big move but Santana sees it coming and plants him into the mat. He goes for Spin the Block, but Ali rolls to the floor. Santana hits a flipping dive over the top rope to take out Ali at ringside. Ali runs away to the back. Santana follows after him.

In the ring, Ryan tries rolling up Jeff, but only gets two. He hits The Big Hollywood Ending and goes for another pin attempt, but it is broken up. Matt is sent into the steel post at ringside by Nic. This leaves Jeff alone with The Nemeths in the ring.

Santana runs down and hits STB on Nic. Matt hits Twist of Fate on Ryan in the ring. Jeff takes his shirt off and heads to the top. He connects with his Swanton Bomb for the pinfall victory in a very crowd-pleasing match.

Match Result: Mike Santana & The Hardys defeated Mustafa Ali & The Nemeth Brothers

Celebrities In The House At TNA Unbreakable

Victoria Crawford (Alicia Fox) is shown in a cameo appearance in the crowd. Singer Debbie Gibson is also shown in the crowd. From 90 Day Fiancee on TLC, Tim Malcolm is also in the house. “The stars are out in Vegas at Unbreakable.” I guess so.

Joe Hendry & Masha Slamovich defeated Frankie Kazarian & Tessa Blanchard

It’s time for another featured bout, as Frankie Kazarian makes his way to the ring, followed by Tessa Blanchard. For their opposition, the ring walks are reversed.

The female portion of the team, TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich coming out first, and of course TNA World Champion Joe Hendry coming out last. The crowd, as expected, goes bonkers for TNA’s hottest rising star.

As the bell sounds, the commentators immediately focus on the medical tape on the injured shoulder of Hendry. Slamovich tries starting things off, but Blanchard avoids in. Kazarian comes in, so Slamovich tags in Hendry. The “We Believe!” chants spread like wildfire as the less-than-100% Hendry gets ready.

Kazarian stops and leans through the ropes. He insists that the ring announcer re-introduce him. McKenzie Mitchell does so, informing the crowd, per Kazarian’s demand, that he is, in fact, “The King of TNA.” Kazarian hits Hendry with a cheap shot but then Hendry shoulder-blocks him down to the mat.

Hendry sends Kazarian into the ropes, Kaz ducks and hits the ropes, only to run back into a perfectly timed knee lift that even Harley Race would be proud of. Kazarian tries bailing to the floor, but is met by Slamovich, who blasts him with some forearms and rolls him back in.

Blanchard finally tags in and takes over. The fans immediately get on her case — and bad. “F**k you, Tessa!” chants are the opening offering from the Vegas wrestling fanatics in attendance. Those quickly graduate to unmerciful “She’s a racist!” “You’re a racist!”

From there they got louder and evolved into the drawn-out, “Raaaacist! Raaaacist!” chants loudly aimed in her direction after anything she does. On the floor, Victoria Crawford, formerly known as Alicia Fox, gets involved briefly with Slamovich.

This allows the commentators a chance to crack insider jokes about her wild behind-the-scenes reputation in the past. Hendry takes over as the legal man and eventually finishes things off with the Standing Ovation for the win.

Match Result: Joe Hendry & Masha Slamovich defeated Frankie Kazarian & Tessa Blanchard

Santino Marella Makes A Falls Count Anywhere Match For TNA Rebellion 2025

Backstage, Mike Santana approaches TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella and tells him he’s had it with Mustafa Ali. Santino ends up giving him what he wants, which is a Falls Count Anywhere match at the upcoming TNA Rebellion 2025 show.

More Celebrities In The Crowd At TNA Unbreakable

Inside the arena again, Hannifan and Rehwoldt point out some more celebrities in the crowd. Morlon Greenword, President of the NFL Alumni Las Vegas Chapter, Andreas Hale from ESPN and Westside Gunn are some other celebrities shown in the crowd at TNA Unbreakable 2025.

Chris Bey Appears Live At TNA Unbreakable

Ace Austin makes his way out to the ABC theme for the second time in the evening. He does so this time to introduce a very special guest, his tag-team partner and friend, Chris Bey. Bey makes his way out on his own two feet, as the commentators point out.

Bey talks about 172 days ago he had an accident in the ring that changed the course of his life forever. He broke his neck and paralyzed himself. He gets emotional saying this. He mentions having a successful surgery but his future is still uncertain.

He says he was told it wasn’t clear if he would ever walk again. He smiles while pointing out that he is doing exactly that. The crowd goes wild. Bey points out Austin standing next to him and says he never left his side.

He says when you’re going through what he’s going through, you need a real brother. He says this man is exactly that. Fans break out in a “ABC! ABC!” chant. One person yells, “Greatest story ever told!” Bey responds, “There it is!”

He says outside of day one saying this will be the greatest story ever told, in his heart and mind, he never thought he was going to stand here again. He then reminded himself who he was. He listened and felt the energy from the fans. Because of that, he beat the odds.

Fans chant “You’re unbreakable!” He says he was able to do it because “We Believe!” He says, “Joe, I owe you $20 now!” A fan yells, “We Bey-lieve!” He says, “There you go, I’m gonna put it on a shirt now!” Fans chant that loud. He calls this the greatest story ever told, hugs Austin and heads off.

Sami Callihan defeated Mance Warner in a Barbed Wire Massacre match

The crew is shown working on setting up the ring for our next match, the sixth ever Barbed Wire Massacre in TNA Wrestling history. Hannifan and Rehwoldt mention viewer discretion is advised for the audience at home for this next contest.

The pre-match video package airs to tell the story leading up to this one. After the package wraps up, we return in the arena where the crew is finished up setting the ring up with all of the goodies for this unique match.

Mance Warner makes his way out first accompanied by Steph De Lander. The two head to the ring as the commentators continue to stress how violent this match is going to be, and how neither man is going to be the same coming out of it.

Sami Callihan makes his way out to a big pop. “The Death Machine” comes to the ring in a white button up shirt and tie, doing the “Bang Bang!” and all, in a clear homage to “The Hardcore Legend” Mick Foley. The bell sounds and Warner goes to work on Callihan.

Callihan immediately hits a Death Valley Driver on him through a barbed wire door laying in the corner. Literally seconds in. Hannifan freaks out and asks the camera man for a shot of Warner’s shoulder. Callihan grabs a barbed wire bat and smashes it on the ripped up left arm of Warner.

The camera finally shows it and it is a pretty gnarly chewed up pile of flesh. “Look at Mance Warner’s arm — dear god!” is the first reaction from Hannifan. A camera man hands a black bag to Callihan. Callihan pulls out a Nintendo 64 controller wrapped in barbed wire.

He cheese-grates it on the forehead of Warner. Fans break out in a “You sick f**k!” chants. Hannifan mentions No Mercy was his favorite N64 game, while Rehwoldt mentions Golden Eye. Warner’s face is now a bloody mess in addition to his arm. We’re about two or three minutes deep.

After some more madness, fans break out in an appropriate “This is Madness!” chant. That shifts to dueling “This is Madness!” / “We want more!” chants. They try a “We want fire!” chant. Calliahan runs himself through a barbed wire door. He spits blood up in the air and it falls on his own face. Disgusting.

A big ball of barbed wire is entered into the mix. Fans break out in bowling-related chants. Callihan yells at Warner to look at him as he grates it on his face. Warner ends up stuck in barbed wire. The referee has to cut him out.

Callihan goes for a Cactus Driver through a barbed wire board across two tables, but Warner avoids it. Callihan yells at Warner, “Come on b*tch!” We see a stunner into a barbed wire board for a “Holy sh*t!” chant. Callihan’s leg gets stuck in barbed wire just from backing up. The referee has to free him.

“The Death Machine” leans through the ropes and finds something that stops him in his tracks. He pulls out a lemon and wears a sadistic smile. Fans chant “You sick f**k!” He tears away padding that was put around Warner’s ripped up arm earlier in the match.

He squeezes the lemon and juice pours into the wound. He then grabs a bunch of salt. He lets it falls around him so fans know what it is. He smiles like a psycho again as fans break out in a “Salt in the wound!” chant.

Callihan then grabs a staple gun, pulls Warner’s tongue out and staples it to a barbed wire door. He breaks the barbed wire board stapled to his tongue with another weapon. He goes for the bag of salt but before he can use it, Warner low-blows him and then dumps the bag of salt in Callihan’s wounds.

Fans chant “You deserve it!” De Lander hands Warner a screwdriver. This is the dastardly weapon after balls of barbed wire, psycho video game controllers, lemons and salt bags? Callihan gets a big spike. They have a sword-fight type of stand-off. Fans hilariously chant “This is Wrestling!” They stab each other.

We see another stand off and this time they trade regular shots. Callihan grabs Mr. Socko and wraps him in barbed wire in another ode to Mick Foley. He then pays one final homage to him by hitting the Cactus Driver through barbed wire for the pinfall victory. That was absolute insanity.

Match Result: Sami Callihan defeated Mance Warner

Steve Maclin defeated AJ Francis and Eric Young to become the first-ever TNA International Champion

It’s main event time!

But first, Elijah comes out for some impromptu singing. He sings his “In TNA We Walk This Way” tune, while giving props in the lyrics to Chris Bey and the original three-way at Unbreakable 20 years ago. He promotes his Walk With Elijah Challenge for TNA Rebellion 2025 and off he goes.

Criss Angel “The Mindfreak” is shown in the crowd. Rehwoldt and Hannifan run down the updated lineup for TNA Rebellion on April 27 in Los Angeles, CA. After that, we return to the ring for our final match of the evening, where the inaugural TNA International Champion will be crowned.

AJ Francis of First Class makes his way out, as the commentators point out he is the only one of the three men involved in this match who is coming in fresh. He qualified well before tonight’s show, whereas his two opponents both earned their way into the match with wins earlier this evening.

Out next is “Bulletproof” Steve Maclin, as Hannifan and Rehwoldt remind the viewing audience at home of his on-again, off-again relationship with Eric Young, and how it has been going in recent weeks. His pre-match talk with Young backstage is also brought up.

The lights in the building go down and the bad-ass theme for Eric Young plays as he comes out last. He is by himself, as is Francis, with The Northern Armory not accompanying Young, nor KC Navarro with Francis. Who will become the first-ever TNA International Champion? It’s time to find out.

The bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Immediately Young and Maclin join forces to beat down Francis and throw him out to the floor. Now they are left alone in the ring. The commentators remind everyone how they agreed “The best man will win” between them tonight.

Francis recovers and tries to hop on the apron a couple of minutes later, only to again be blasted back to the floor, leaving Young and Maclin to duke it out. Several minutes later, the fans start to badly turn on the match, killing them with “This is boring!” chants over and over again.

In the corner, Young and Maclin are trading shots until Francis hoists both across his massive shoulders. He slams them both down and goes for the cover, but only gets a count of two. “AJ go away!” chants spread like wildfire. Francis hits TFL that sends Young to the floor.

He stalks Maclin in the corner, but Maclin moves and hangs Francis upside down in the tree of woe. Maclin hits a spear to knock Francis down. He goes for the K.I.A., but Francis counters. He looks for a Down Payment, but Maclin counters the counter. He hits the K.I.A. on Francis and covers him for the win.

Match Result: Steve Maclin defeated AJ Francis and Eric Young

BROKEN Matt Hardy Invites The Nemeth Brothers To The Hardy Compound

Backstage, The Nemeth Brothers find an invitation. Ryan Nemeth shows it to Nic Nemeth. He tells him to open it with caution. They open it and some CGI affects are shown on the screen.

BROKEN Matt Hardy appears and invites them to The Hardy Compound for a Final Deletion. That’s how TNA Unbreakable 2025 goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!

Big Vinny V Show: TNA finally reveals card for Unbreakable

Posted on by Vincent Verhei

With just a week to spare, TNA Wrestling finally revealed the card for Unbreakable, their WrestleMania week streaming special from Las Vegas, on last Thursday’s episode of Impact.

The big news is that despite recent injury angles, both TNA World Champion Joe Hendry and TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardys will be in action. But with Unbreakable and Rebellion airing only ten days apart, Impact was focused less on great wrestling last Thursday and more on promoting those two shows. How did they do? I will break it down on the latest Big Vinny V Show!

**********
Frankie Kazarian defeated Elijah

The theme for Joe Hendry kicked things off, as the TNA World Champion heads down to the ringside area to join Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt on special guest commentary for the first match of the show.

Frankie Kazarian’s entrance tune hits and the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” heads to the ring with his massive Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy in-hand. He settles inside, his music dies down, and the lights go down.

Elijah’s theme hits and out he comes with his trademark guitar over his shoulder. After he gets in the ring, the bell sounds and the first match of the show gets underway. Kazarian hits Elijah with a cheap-shot, but Elijah fights back and does Undertaker’s top-rope-walking “Old-School” spot.

Elijah looked to follow up with his signature piledriver, but Kazarian had it well-scouted and pumped the breaks. Kazarian slides out to the floor, but Elijah comes out after him. Kazarian ends up sending him face-first into the steel ring post.

Kazarian comes over and taunts Hendry, even slapping his headset nearly off his head. Hendry stands up and gets in his face. Hendry gets shoved into Elijah. Back in the ring seconds later, Kazarian rolls Elijah up and gets a handful of jeans to score the cheap pin.

After the bell sounds to end the match, Hendry hits the ring like a madman and tackles Kazarian down to the mat. He ground-and-pounds away until a ton of security guards hit the ring and break them up. They get free and the fight is on again. Elijah breaks it up.

The show went to a commercial break afterwards. When the show returned, Hendry was being checked by a TNA medic backstage about a potential arm injury. The medic, fearing a tear, insisted that Hendry go to get X-rays.

The System’s Bond Is Strong As Ever

Back inside the Impact Zone, Hannifan sets the stage on commentary for the next segment after showing video footage of Eddie Edwards talking to each member of The System last week. In the ring, Edwards brings it up himself and then tells every member of The System to come out.

The System theme hits and out comes Eddie’s wife, Alisha Edwards, as well as his tag-team partner Brian Myers, and fellow members Moose and JDC. He starts with JDC, saying he has known him longer than anyone, including his wife.

Edwards says he knows JDC is sick of losing. He wants him to tell him to his face if he’s in or out. JDC tells the fans to shut up and insists he’s in. The two hug. Edwards gives JDC his System ring. He moves on to his partner, Myers. He asks him the same. “Let’s finish what we started … I’m in!” he responds.

Eddie Edwards then moves on to his wife. He says he knows she doesn’t want to hang around losers. He asks her the same. She responds, as always, “Do you wanna know something?” She follows up, “I love you, I’m in.”

Last, but not least, Edwards approaches TNA X-Division Champion Moose in the corner. Fans start chanting Moose’s name. He asks if he’s in or not. Before Moose can respond, the theme for Cody Deaner interrupts them.

He says he’s been waiting all week to see someone get fired. He tries luring Moose into letting the fans decide, hoping he’ll leave The System, but in the end, gets beat down by all of them and left laying.

The Meta Girls (Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend) defeated Spitfire (Jody Threat & Dani Luna)

Backstage, Xia Brookside, Lei Ying Lee and TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich are with Gia Miller. They preview tonight’s match against Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jane and Jazmyn Nyx. The show heads to another commercial break.

When the show returns, Santino Marella informs Moose that Matt Cardona and Leon Slater are the first two official participants for the Ultimate X match for the X-Division Championship at TNA Rebellion 2025. The System are told they’ll all be in matches on next week’s Impact.

Inside the Impact Zone, Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna make their way to the ring, as do their opponents, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, the latter of whom receive loud “NXT! NXT!” chants from the fans in attendance.

In the early goings, the NXT duo overpower the former TNA Knockouts Champions. Threat ends up isolated in the ring for a prolonged period of time, with Jackson and Legend tagging in and out frequently to keep a fresh person on her at all times.

Threat starts fighting back, hitting Legend and Jackson over-and-over again by herself. Legend goes for a big shot but accidentally blasts Jackson and lays her out. Threat catches Legend with a big boot in the corner, but then leaps into Legend’s arms. Legend and Jackson hit the MKO for the win.

The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy) defeated The Great Hands (John Skyler & Jason Hotch)

Backstage, Mike Santana introduces Derek to TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella and walks off. Santino tells Derek he’ll show him around. Hannifan and Rehwoldt promote Santino’s “groundbreaking announcement” for later, and the show heads into another commercial break.

When the show returns, the iconic theme for The Hardys plays and out comes TNA World Tag-Team Champions Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy. Matt starts, addressing the attack he endured at the hands of Nic Nemeth. He shows a scar he suffered that scared his children and vows revenge.

Hardy even does some soft teases for a BROKEN Matt Hardy return with references to “BROKEN” and “DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!” Jeff Hardy laughs off The Nemeths’ claim of being the best brother duo in wrestling history.

The Hardys end up getting interrupted by The Great Hands duo of John Skyler and Jason Hotch, who come out to the ring with Tasha Steelz. After the two teams have words, Santino Marella comes out and makes a match between them.

The show heads to a commercial break, with the impromptu tag bout waiting on the other side. When the show returns, the bell sounds to start off the non-title bout. Steelz is on commentary with Hannifan and Rehwoldt. Matt starts off for his team and jumps into an early offensive lead.

After some more back-and-forth action, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, after enjoying a few minutes in the offensive lead, The Great Hands find themselves back on the defensive after Jeff gets the hot tag, which leads to The Hardys scoring the pin.

Joe Hendry Medical Update

Backstage, Ryan Nemeth is getting under the skin of Leon Slater. This leads to some physicality, which several rush to the scene to break-up before it gets too far out of hand. Santino Marella enters the picture and makes a match between the two for next week.

The show heads to another commercial break on that note. When it returns, Gia Miler is backstage with the TNA lead doctor, who gives a medical update on the injury status of TNA World Champion Joe Hendry.

The doctor reveals that Hendry suffered a grade three severe sprain on his rotator cuff, which they mention is a bad injury. When asked about his status for TNA Rebellion 2025, it’s stated that it’s up in the air, while pointing out that Hendry is the champion and as tough as anyone who could fight through it.

Santino Marella Makes His “Groundbreaking Announcement”

Back inside the Impact Zone, TNA Digital Media Champion(s) Mance Warner and Steph De Lander make their way out to the top of the stage. They boast about being the champion(s) and talk about how in love they are, while also bragging about being on magazine covers.

Santino Marella’s theme cuts them off. He tells them they’ve never earned the TNA Digital Media Championship. He says he is taking the title. At TNA Unbreakable 2025, a tournament will be held to crown the first-ever TNA International Champion.

He says the tournament is a tribute to TNA Unbreakable 2005, where AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels took place for the TNA X-Division Championship. As a tribute to it, every match in the tournament will be a three-way match.

As Santino demands Warner and De Lander to hand over the TNA Digital Media Championship, as they are refusing to do so, out of nowhere Warner is attacked behind with a baseball bat by Sami Callihan. Callihan then launches Warner off the stage and through a table.

He then picks up the TNA Digital Media Championship and hands it to Santino. He walks off as Hannifan drives home the significance of the groundbreaking announcement regarding the TNA International Championship.

Mustafa Ali Bullies Derek

The show heads to another commercial break after Derek is told Mustafa Ali wants a word with him. When the show returns, Ali talks to Derek about being an addict as a way of getting to Mike Santana once again.

He gives him drugs and says he’s an addict, so he’ll ruin himself. Later in the show, Santana catches up with him and he’s high.

George Iceman Has Sights Set On Maggie Lee

Backstage, George Iceman and Heather By Elegance talk about Ash By Elegance being on vacation. Santino mentions having his eye on someone, who he says is Maggie Lee. He’s got some ideas. He and Heather go off to have a drink and talk about them.

TNA International Title Tourney Match, Another Ultimate X Participant

Santino Marella announces the first round TNA International Championship tournament match for TNA Unbreakable, which will feature Eddie Edwards vs. Ace Austin vs. Steve Maclin.

El Del Vikingo is also announced for the TNA X-Division Championship Ultimate X match at TNA Rebellion 2025.

Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx (w/ Fallon Henley) defeated Masha Slamovich, Xia Brookside & Lei Ying Lee

It’s main event (match) time!

After the rapid-fire, back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back announcement segments, the show settles back inside the Impact Zone where the first team in the six-Knockouts tag-team main event make their way out to the ring.

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich, Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee make their respective ring walks. Their opponents, Tessa Blanchard, and her partners from NXT’s Fatal Influence, Jacy Jane and Jazmyn Nyx, make their way out accompanied by Fallon Henley.

The bell sounds and things get officially off-and-running with Slamovich and Blanchard representing their respective teams. Slamovich runs wild on Blanchard, Hulkamania-style, straight out of the gate. As the action spills to the floor, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, the match continues in progress, as we see Rosemary watching on from in the middle of the crowd. All hell breaks loose with all six in the ring, culminating with Slamovich about to hit her finisher, only for Blanchard to strike from behind. Blanchard connected with her Buzzsaw finisher for the win.

TNA Rebellion 2025 Main Event Announced

It’s main event (segment) time!

But first, Santino Marella is shown backstage with the big gold tumbler. He is ready to randomly pick the next three men who will compete in the second officially announced triple-threat opening round match in the TNA International Championship Tournament at TNA Unbreakable 2025.

It will be Sami Callihan vs. Eric Young vs. JDC. After this, we see a shot of the Call Your Shot trophy. Frankie Kazarian picks it up and Hannifan and Rehwoldt mention the news regarding Joe Hendry’s opponent for his TNA World Championship defense at TNA Rebellion 2025 coming up next.

On that note, the show settles into the final commercial break of the evening. When the show returns, Santino Marella reveals Zachary Wentz vs. Mance Warner vs. AJ Francis in the third triple-threat qualifying match for the TNA International Championship at TNA Unbreakable 2025.

Sami Callihan comes in and demands to be put in the match. He tells Santino he’s not gonna like what he does if he doesn’t get his hands on Warner. Santino tells him okay. It’s now Callihan vs. Warner vs. Francis. The other match is now Wentz vs. Young vs. JDC. We then get the matches for next week’s show (see below).

Frankie Kazarian’s theme hits inside the Impact Zone and out he comes to the ring. He gets on the microphone and mentions Joe Hendry suffering an injury. He says he’s at the hospital getting treatment right now. He says he’s sorry. Sorry he didn’t end that idiots career tonight, because he could have.

Kazarian talks about being here to call his shot like a man. He mentions his plans to take the TNA World Championship from Joe Hendry at TNA Rebellion 2025. Ethan Page’s theme hits and out he comes. He and Kazarian have words.

Page mentions going to Santino and reveals he’s also in the TNA title tilt. It will be Joe Hendry vs. Ethan Page vs. Frankie Kazarian in a triple-threat match for the TNA World Championship at TNA Rebellion 2025. Kazarian didn’t like this news. Kazarian goes for a cheap shot, but Page ends up laying him out. The show wraps up on that note.

Matt Hardy says NXT run is done, but ‘we have stuff lined up with WWE’

Posted on by Josh Nason

Even though their run in WWE NXT has wrapped, Matt & Jeff Hardy aren’t done with WWE just yet.

On his weekly podcast with Jon Alba, Matt confirmed that their “little run with NXT is wrapped” after they successfully defended the TNA Tag Team titles against NXT Tag Team Champions Fraxiom (Axiom & Nathan Frazer).

He then added the following:

“We do have some stuff on our schedule to do with WWE a little later on down the road. Nothing specifically with NXT yet,” he said. When Alba asked if it was content-related, Hardy said, “Just stuff. I’m going to leave it at that right now. We have stuff lined up with WWE.”

He said he would love to do a rematch with Fraxiom in the future, challenging for their NXT titles instead.

The 50-year-old Matt and 47-year-old Jeff wrestled twice in NXT and went 2-0, made possible through the multi-year partnership between WWE and TNA announced earlier this year.

Matt and Jeff will now shift focus back to TNA for Friday’s Sacrifice event where Jeff will challenge X-Division Champion Moose in a ladder match while Matt will be part of a 10-man cage match that includes reigning TNA World Champion Joe Hendry.

While he was sad that “Speedball” Mike Bailey and Josh Alexander are no longer with TNA, Matt intimated more new wrestlers could be heading TNA’s way, saying “a couple more people have been talked about which is exciting” in addition to new faces like Elias.

Matt Hardy on WWE NXT experience: ‘They’ve been so great to us’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Matt Hardy is having a great experience in his return to WWE.

For each of the past two weeks, The Hardy Boyz have appeared on NXT. Matt & Jeff will be back on the show next Tuesday defending their TNA Tag Team titles against Nathan Frazer & Axiom. It’s a special Roadblock episode of NXT taking place from The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

On his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt said everyone in NXT has been great to The Hardyz and has treated them with respect.

“It’s been incredible,” Matt said. “I can’t really put it over enough. I mean, they’ve been so great to us. The way they have treated us as such legends and just like — they act so honored. ‘Thank you so much for doing this. Thank you for coming out and being a part of this.'”

Matt also expressed appreciation for how NXT’s fans have responded to The Hardyz.

“It was great,” Matt said about the reaction they got on NXT this week. “I mean, we came out [on Tuesday night] and the crowd was so loud. And even right before we went out and Shawn [Michaels] came up. He said, ‘Hey, I know these people are going to be real hyped to see you and they’re going to be cheering and popping. But if you can, we’d like to keep the show on time. Just try and, you know, kind of get it going. You know, soak it in, but just kind of keep it going.’ That was great. But Shawn’s been incredible. Matt Bloom has been great. Everybody has. The whole experience has been so, so, so, so fun.”

For Matt & Jeff, this is the first time they’ve been back with WWE since 2020 and 2021 respectively. Their NXT appearances are happening because of the partnership that exists between WWE and TNA Wrestling. Matt said The Hardyz are having the time of their life in TNA. Both WWE and TNA feel like home, though Matt thinks WWE would be the right place for The Hardyz to end their career when that time comes.

We’ve only seen The Hardyz on NXT in their WWE return so far, but WWE is reportedly optimistic about them working a main roster program this spring/summer.

TNA Impact live results: Oba Femi/Moose confrontation

Posted on by Matt Boone

Ahead of their impending title vs. title match this Tuesday, TNA X-Division Champion Moose and WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi will have a face-to-face confrontation on tonight’s Impact.

Tonight will also feature Elijah, the former Elias in WWE. Elijah aligned with TNA World Champion Joe Hendry after making his surprise debut and will take on Brian Myers of The System in his singles debut.

In a non-title match, TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardys will face Eddie & Orlando Colon who recently debuted.

Ahead of her title defense against NXT’s Cora Jade at Sacrifice, Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich will share some thoughts.

The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus & Travis Williams) will take on The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) & Ace Austin in trios action.

Mike Santana will go one-on-one with John Skyler of the Good Hands.

AJ Francis and KC Navarro will return with another First Class Penthouse interview segment while Savannah Evans takes on Xia Brookside.

**********
Elijah defeated Brian Myers

The recap package for last week’s show airs to get things started, and then the “Cross The Line” intro video and theme plays. Inside the Impact Zone, Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us to this week’s edition of TNA Impact.

Elijah’s theme hits and out comes the newest addition to the men’s roster in TNA for scheduled opening action. He settles inside the squared circle and his music dies down. We then hear “Trust The System!” and the theme for Brian Myers hits. Out he comes accompanied by Alisha Edwards.

As soon as the bell sounds, Elijah charges across the ring and blasts Myers with a big shot that decks The System member. Myers tries rolling to the floor and calling a timeout as Elijah rolls out after him. Instead, Elijah blasts him with a big chop in front of Alisha.

He puts Myers on the ring apron and drapes his head over the edge of the apron. From the floor, he picks his head up and slams it down on the corner of the apron. And again. He backs up, runs and leaps, blasting Myers with a hip-attack similar to Roman Reigns’ “Drive By” spot.

Back inside the ring, Myers begins to shift the offensive momentum into his favor. This doesn’t last for long, however, as Elijah takes back over and eventually hits his finisher for the pinfall victory. After the match, The System hits the ring to attack Elijah.

Joe Hendry’s theme hits and out comes the TNA World Champion to make the save, running off The System. Hendry and Elijah stand tall in the ring staring down The System as they head up the entrance ramp to wrap up the eventful post-match scene.

Gia Miller Interviews Ace Austin & The Rascalz

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with her guests at this time, Ace Austin and The Rascalz duo of Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz. Austin says he knows they are still unsure how much they can trust each other heading into TNA Sacrifice 2025.

He says they practically grew up in the business together and references some past interactions and instances that proves they can trust each other. The Rascalz vow to beat down Wes Lee and his wannabe Rascalz duo of Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe.

“Smoke ’em if you got ’em!” ends the brief backstage interview segment. The show heads to the first commercial break of the evening.

First Class Penthouse with AJ Francis & KC Navarro

When the show returns, First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro make their way out for the second installment of their new talk show segment, First Class Penthouse. Francis says the streets are still talking about the debut edition of First Class Penthouse.

Francis says they have a special guest tonight. “The Prize Fighter KO!” He then reveals it was a joke and that he was referring to KC Navarro. K-N-O. For KC N-avarr-O. Out comes Steve Maclin out of nowhere, who hits what will no doubt be the line of the evening, as he calls AJ Francis “The Temu Suge Knight.”

Francis asks if people want to see the two of them fight tonight. Francis says give him 30 minutes to get his gear on and then he’s gonna kick Maclin’s ass. Maclin tells him, “Take your 30 minutes, big boy!”

Savannah Evans defeated Xia Brookside

Back to the ring for the second match of the evening, which will be one-on-one action contested in the TNA Knockouts division. Savannah Evans makes her way to the ring first and settles inside. The “American Pie” soundtrack-sounding entrance tune for her opposition hits, and out comes the bubbly Xia Brookside.

The bell sounds and the match gets officially off-and-running. The much larger Evans immediately charges across the ring in a hurry, looking to bum-rush Brookside and attack her while she was off-guard. Instead, Brookside, seemingly with a sixth-sense, noticed Evans coming and side-stepped her.

Brookside gets the early offensive jump on Evans, taking it to her much larger foe as the fans inside the Impact Zone cheer her on. Rosemary is shown watching on from the rafters. Evans ends up cutting Brookside’s offensive run short and taking over, slowing the pace down.

Evans makes one misstep, and Brookside capitalizes, securing a tarantula-style submission while hanging off the body of her opponent. Brookside hits a big move coming off the ropes for a close two-count, but then Evans started to come to life. She launched Brookside into the corner but missed a follow-up splash.

She goes for a running knee drop on Brookside on the mat, but Brookside rolls out of the way just in time. Brookside, distracted while dealing with a potential injury, gets blasted from behind by Evans with one stiff shot that turns her inside-out. Evans quickly follows up with the pin fall for the win. The show heads into another commercial break.

Mike Santana defeated John Skyler (w/ Jason Hotch)

When the show returns, a digital segment airs showing Ash and Heather by Elegance being given a rude awakening by Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna. They dress them up like goth girls in their style and give them chores to do as their personal concierges.

After the video package wraps up, the show returns inside the Impact Zone, where John Skyler of the rebranded Great Hands duo with Jason Hotch makes his way to the ring cutting a promo about Mike Santana being “street trash.” Sounds familiar.

The hip-hop theme for Santana hits and out comes the fan-favorite for one-on-one action against Skyler in the next match of the evening. Santana enters the ring and the bell sounds to get things started.

Skyler gets the early jump on Santana, but fans chant his name and he fires up and begins taking over, running over Skyler with repeated clotheslines and then hitting a Three Amigos suplex sequence in an homage to Eddie Guerrero.

This gives Hannifan a good chance to plug TNA Sacrifice in El Paso, TX, where the Guerrero name is legendary. He mentions Chavo Guerrero Jr. will be there. Literally seconds later, Santana finishes off Skyler for a very quick and easy victory.

Once the match wraps up, Hotch tries attacking Santana from behind, but he avoids it and takes out The Great Hands member with his Spin The Block finisher. Santana notices the hammer that Hotch was about to use as a weapon on him. Fans chant for him to use it.

As he contemplates doing exactly that, he notices Mustafa Ali on the big screen with Tasha Steelz by his side. He calls Santana an animal and mentions how TNA is, as it should be, a safe working environment. He says it’s time for Santana to submit to a random urine screening.

Out comes someone in a suit with a cup and a lid, which he hands to Santana, presumably to “provide his sample.” Santana takes it and shakes his head. “This dude’s got me bugging, bro,” he says off-mic to end the post-match scene. The show heads to another commercial break.

AJ Francis (w/ KC Navarro) defeated Steve Maclin

When the show returns, the First Class entrance tune hits and out comes AJ Francis, accompanied by KC Navarro. The duo head to the ring together, where Francis is scheduled for one-on-one action in a match that was set up during the First Class Penthouse segment earlier in the show.

The familiar sounds of Steve Maclin’s theme song hits next and out comes the “Bulletproof” one himself. The bell sounds to get things started. Maclin takes the early offensive lead. The crowd is strongly behind him as he works over the First Class leader.

Francis ends up killing Maclin’s early momentum, stifling a big spot he tried in the corner. From there, Francis completely takes over on offense. He hits running knees to a seated Maclin on his way out to the floor, where he stands alongside Navarro and does their chant. “Money! Money! Money!”

Back in the ring, Francis eats a shot from Maclin. Maclin hangs Francis upside down in the tree of woe in the corner. He runs over and knocks Navarro off the apron when he tries interfering, and then runs and spears an upside down Francis. He looks for the K.I.A., but Francis avoids it and takes over.

Francis has Maclin by the throat when out of the blue, The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus run out and hop on opposing sides of the ring apron. Francis capitalizes on the distraction and lays out Maclin.

The commentators bring up how The Northern Armory clearly seemed to be trying to help Maclin. Eric Young appears at ringside. Maclin comes out and tells Young he doesn’t need or want their help. He heads back into the ring, where Francis hits his Down Payment chokeslam finisher for the win.

Ryan Nemeth In Tears Over Nic Nemeth, Matt Hardy Face Time Call

The digital exclusive segment with Matt Hardy, Joe Hendry and Elijah discussing the members for their team in the scheduled ten-man tag-team match against The System and The Colons at TNA Sacrifice 2025 airs.

Ryan Nemeth wants on Hendry’s team. Hardy doesn’t. He calls Nic Nemeth, who pushes for his bro, but ultimately accepts that no one likes him. Nic tells Hardy to just please let him be the one to break the news to his brother.

Hardy tells him his brother has been listening. The others notice Ryan Nemeth fighting back tears. They ask if he’s going to cry. Ryan storms off in an emotional huff. The show heads to another commercial break.

Steve Maclin Confronts Eric Young & The Northern Armory

When the show returns, Steve Maclin catches up with Eric Young and The Northern Armory backstage and confronts them over them essentially costing him his match against AJ Francis.

Young tells him they did it for his own good, and had he not gotten distracted, it would have worked out. Maclin tells Young he trusts him, “but not this,” while pointing to The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus. Young tells Maclin to “open your eyes and let the truth guide you.”

Maclin goes to walk off, but bumps into Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian, who looks like he borrowed an outfit from Seth “Freakin'” Rollins closet, is holding his Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy and taunting Maclin, who gives him one fair warning before walking off.

Fraxiom Sends A Message To The Hardy Boyz

Footage is shown of TNA World Tag-Team Champions The Hardy Boyz and WWE NXT World Tag-Team Champions Fraxiom having a showdown in the ring earlier this week on WWE NXT to promote their title tilt at WWE NXT Roadblock 2025.

When it wraps up, a backstage segment with Fraxiom airs. Nathan Frazer and Axiom talk about their upcoming title tilt with The Hardy Boyz and make it clear they will be keeping a close eye on their match later in tonight’s show against The Colons.

Oba Femi, Moose Go Face-To-Face Ahead Of WWE Roadblock 2025

The WWE digital exclusive video airs showing TNA X-Division Champion Moose of The System talking about his showdown against WWE NXT World Champion Oba Femi at WWE NXT Roadblock 2025. Moose vows to leave with the WWE NXT title and become the face of the franchise.

Back live inside the Impact Zone, the familiar sounds of Oba Femi’s theme hits and out he comes, with the crowd doing his entrance chant routine. He settles inside the squared circle for his advertised face-to-face meeting with Moose.

The System theme hits and out comes Moose and his goons. He stops and motions to someone in the back. On that note, a bunch of security make their way out and accompany him to the ring.

Inside the ring, Oba Femi and Moose each tell the story of how they first heard about the other, while vowing to be the one to take out the other and prove they are the true dominant Nigerian force in the pro wrestling business.

The two end up in a wild brawl, where it is revealed that the “security” Moose brought with him were just paid goons in street clothes. They all jump Femi when it first appeared they were just trying to separate the two. Regardless, Femi ends up firing up and clearing house in an impressive sight.

Eric Young & The Northern Armory (Travis Williams & Judas Icarus) defeated Ace Austin & The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)

Back inside the Impact Zone, the familiar sounds of Eric Young’s entrance tune hits the house speakers. Out comes the TNA Wrestling veteran along with his partners for this scheduled six-man tag-team contest, The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus.

The ABC theme song for their opposition hits and out comes Ace Austin. The Rascalz’ music plays after that and the team of Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel head to the ring to a strong reaction from the fans inside Full Sail University.

After the bell sounds, things get started with a bang in this one. Things settle into Young and The Northern Armory in a comfortable offensive lead as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, Wentz is isolated in the ring and being beaten down.

The crowd rallies behind Wentz, who eventually fires up and takes over, shifting the offensive momentum into his team’s favor. He tags in Miguel, who picks up where he left off. Wes Lee makes his way out. Wentz hits a big dive to take him out, but the distraction sets Young up for the piledriver for the win.

Mike Santana Approaches Santino Marella Backstage

Backstage, Mike Santana is holding his pee cup when he approaches TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella. He brings up all that he’s been through to get clean, including his meetings that the company has shown on TNA Impact, etc.

He asks if this pee test is really what they’re going to do to him. Santino says Mustafa Ali went above his head to the Anthem management. “I’ve got a boss, too,” Marella tells him. He says to just do it, prove him wrong, and get this whole thing behind him. Santino walks off.

Santana overhears Tasha Steelz scolding some regular Joe for not bringing the right kind of coffee for Ali. She tells him the correct kind and sends him off to get it. Santana stops him and tells him not to let anyone talk to him like that.

He then takes the cup and says he’ll handle it for him. He heads into the bathroom with Ali’s coffee cup as the show heads to another commercial break.

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich Addresses Cora Jade

When the show returns, a second digital style segment airs showing the latest update of Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna forcing their personal concierges, Ash and Heather by Elegance, to do tasks.

This time they are shown in the gym. When they leave, there is an incident with a janitor, who ends up being George Iceman in disguise. He tells Ash and Heather, who laid out Spitfire, “It’s me! Let’s get out of here!”

Inside the Impact Zone, reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich makes her way down to the ring. She gets on the microphone and addresses Cora Jade. She tells the WWE NXT Superstar when she steps into the ring with her at TNA Sacrifice, it’s not going to be a match, but a fight.

She says it’s a fight she’s not going to walk out of, because Slamovich is built different. Cora Jade’s theme hits and out she comes with a microphone in-hand. She tells Slamovich all she hears is someone who knows their title reign is coming to an end.

Slamovich tells Jade she’s gonna expose her as someone who is not a real fighter. After she does, as Slamovich is staring down Jade at ringside from inside the ring, she is attacked from behind by Tessa Blanchard. Jade enters the ring to help out.

As Blanchard and Jade are beating down Slamovich in two-on-one fashion, the theme for Lei Ying Lee hits. Out to the ring comes Blanchard’s scheduled opponent for TNA Sacrifice 2025. She makes the save for Slamovich and runs off Jade and Blanchard.

Mustafa Ali’s Day Just Got Worse

Backstage, Mustafa Ali sees Tasha Steelz and asks her for an update. She tells him the coffee was delivered, but wasn’t right, so she sent the guy back out to get it. He says he doesn’t care about that and asks about Mike Santana’s drug test.

Steelz says she just spoke with Santino and unfortunately, Santana’s drug test came back negative, so he passed it. Ali is upset and says they’ve got to find a way to get him to take another drug test or something.

She hands him his coffee and after he takes a sip, he clearly knows what he just drank, so he rushes Steelz away to avoid further embarrassment. On that note, the show heads into another commercial break.

The Hardy Boyz defeated The Colons via Disqualification

It’s main event time!

But first, Hannifan and Rehwoldt introduce a quick video that runs down the advertised lineup for next week’s TNA Sacrifice 2025 “go-home” show (see below). Ryan Nemeth then comes out and announces that his big brother is coming back in eight days.

The Colons duo of Eddie and Orlando Colon make their way down to the ring. The iconic sounds of the theme music for The Hardy Boyz hits and out comes the reigning TNA World Tag-Team Champions for the main event of the evening.

The Full Sail crowd gives Matt and Jeff Hardy a huge reaction coming out. The bell sounds and things get underway in this, the tag-team main event of the evening. Matt Hardy kicks things off for his team coming out of the gate, establishing the early offensive lead over The Colons.

He plays to the crowd as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, Hardy is still dominating the action, taking it to Eddie until Orlando makes the save for his brother. This leads to an offensive shift in momentum.

The Colons begin to enjoy their first prolonged run of offensive control. Matt is isolated in the ring and controlled for a few minutes, but ultimately, Jeff gets the much-needed tag and begins taking over. As The Hardy Boyz take their shirts off and look to finish things off, The System hit the ring for an attack.

The referee throws the match out. Joe Hendry’s theme hits and out comes the TNA World Champion to make sure The Hardy Boyz aren’t unfairly attacked in an outnumbered situation. As Joe Hendry, The Hardy Boyz and Leon Slater and Elijah, who also ran out, stand tall in the ring.

As The System and The Colons do the same outside of the ring, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella’s theme hits. The shot-caller in TNA announces that the ten man tag-team match between the two teams of five at TNA Sacrifice 2025 will now be contested inside of a steel cage. That blockbuster announcement is how this week’s show comes to an end.

Next Week:
* Masha Slamovich & Lei Ying Lee vs. Tessa Blanchard & Cora Jade
* Laredo Kid vs. Wes Lee
* Eddie Edwards vs. Leon Slater (TNA Sacrifice Advantage Match)
* Xia Brookside vs. Rosemary
* Joe Hendry will defend the TNA World Championship

**********
The System & The Colons Kick Things Off

After the usual show-opening intro video and theme music, a recap package airs highlighting top moments on last week’s show. Inside the Impact Zone inside Full Sail University, The System make their way out to the ring to kick things off.

Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt talk on commentary about Moose vs. Oba Femi at WWE Roadblock in a title versus title match following the TNA X-Division Champion’s appearance on NXT on CW earlier this week. Fans are chanting “Oba’s gonna kill you! Oba’s gonna kill you!” as he settles in the ring.

Starting off on the microphone is Alisha Edwards, who as always, hits the crowd with the annoying-voiced, “Do you wanna know something?!” JDC takes a turn on the microphone and then Moose takes over. He talks about how he’s gonna take out Oba Femi.

He then aims his anger at Jeff Hardy, who he says got lucky against him twice in the past. He says tonight his luck runs out. Brian Myers then gets a turn on the stick. He says Oba Femi isn’t System-material. He then turns his focus to the recent TNA debuts of Eddie and Orlando Colon.

He says they might be System-material. The theme for The Colons hits and out they come to the ring. They get on the mic and remind everyone what the Colon name means. It’s their way of life, and there’s only a few elite wrestlers who fully understands what that means.

They say they respect The System. The System make it clear that everything is better when you trust in The System. The opening segment wraps up on that note.

Gia Miller Interviews Spitfire

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with her guests at this time, the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions Spitfire. Jody Threat and Dani Luna talk about their unique stipulation for their match against Ash and Heather by Elegance later tonight.

They have some fun talking about things they can make them do if they win and they become their personal concierge. They joke about giving them makeovers and mohawks.

Hannifan runs down the advertised lineup for tonight as the official match graphics flash on the screen. The show heads into the first commercial break of the evening.

Leon Slater Confronts The System Backstage

When the show returns, we see The System walking-and-talking backstage when Leon Slater approaches them and confronts them for talking trash. Things start to get heated.

The Hardys show up and keep good on their word of having Slater’s back. The two sides bicker and pull-and-push, but are ultimately kept apart.

Mike Santana defeated Oro Mensah

Inside the Impact Zone, Mike Santana’s theme hits and out he comes to the ring for the first match of the evening. As he settles inside the squared circle, the theme for his opponent hits and the crowd pops as The Meta-Four’s Oro Mensah from WWE NXT comes out.

Fans chant “Oro!” and then “NXT! NXT!” as his music dies down. The bell sounds and the two lock-up. Santana grabs a side head-lock, but Mensah escapes. Mensah isolates and cranks on the arm of Santana, bringing him down to the mat and controlling the limb.

Santana eventually fights his way back up, escapes and snatches up Mensah’s arm. He does the same to him, before opting instead to blast him with wild rights and lefts that knock him across the ring. Mensah catches him by surprise with a hurricanrana.

Santana rushes towards him in the corner, but runs right into a big boot to the grill. Mensah heads to the ring apron and springboards into the ring with a single-leg dropkick that sends Santana flying and crashing to the mat. Santana rolls out to the floor.

Mensah tries for a flying cross-body to the floor, but Santana catches him and drops him face-first on the hard part of the ring apron, before turning him inside-out with a mean clothesline. Back in the ring, Santana catches Mensah with a Rolling Buck-50.

He goes for the cover, but Mensah kicks out. Mensah fights back, but ultimately, Santana takes over and blasts the NXT Superstar with his Spin The Block finisher for the pinfall victory. After the match, a corny-style political smear-campaign commercial parody airs.

It shows Mustafa Ali and his new crew consisting of The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) and Tasha Steelz trashing Santana, who is shown reacting live still in the ring following his victory over Mensah. After this wraps up, the show heads into another commercial break.

When the show returns, an angry Santana storms the backstage area in search of Mustafa Ali and his crew. He runs into The Great Hands and Steelz and they play dumb. He tells them Santana can do this to his face if he wants to. He almost says he’s gonna stick his foot up their ass, but Steelz censors him and cuts him off.

Tessa Blanchard defeated Kelsey Heather

Inside the Impact Zone, the theme for Tessa Blanchard hits and out she comes to a ton of heat from the Full Sail crowd. She settles inside the squared circle where her opponent, Kelsey Heather, is already waiting.

The bell sounds and Blanchard immediately charges across the ring and starts woman-handling Heather. Fans break out in a deafening “Tessa sucks!” chant, which she fuels by giving a reaction to. She hits a vicious suplex to Heather into the turnbuckles in the corner.

In a split-screen, TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich is shown watching on as Blanchard continues to dominate Heather with ease. She whips her into the corner and charges from the opposing corner only to halt dead in her tracks at the last second.

As Heather cowered, Blanchard blasted her with an open-hand slap across the mouth. Blanchard hits a cutter out of nowhere and then wraps her arms up for the Buzzsaw in the center of the ring. 1-2-3. Blanchard isn’t getting fired. Instead she wrestled and won. Easily and emphatically.

Cora Jade Attacks Masha Slamovich Backstage

Backstage, Gia Miller asks Masha Slamovich for her thoughts on Tessa Blanchard’s performance moments ago. As she goes to answer, she is ambushed and brutally attacked from behind by Cora Jade.

The WWE NXT Superstar lays her out and as she stands over her, she says, “I don’t know why you’re worried about Tessa Blanchard when I’m the one who is going to take your title at Sacrifice.” After this, the show heads to another commercial break.

Joe Hendry & Elijah Confronted By The System Backstage

Backstage, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry and Elijah, guitar and all, are shown talking. Hendry says it was fun last week, but he’s seen this one before.

He says the second he gets comfortable being friendly with Elijah, his guitar is going to be wrapped around his head. Elijah assures him that is not the case, even though he understands why Hendry would be cautious of it.

The System confront them, with Alisha Edwards saying for the second time in the show, as annoying-as-ever, “Do you wanna know something?!” They taunt the duo and walk off.

Steve Maclin defeated KC Navarro (w/ AJ Francis)

The theme for First Class hits as the show settles back inside the Impact Zone. Out comes KC Navarro accompanied by AJ Francis. The duo settles inside the squared circle together, where Navarro is scheduled for singles action.

Their music dies down and out next comes Navarro’s opponent, “Bulletproof” Steve Maclin. The bell sounds and the two circle each other before locking up. Maclin grabs a side headlock, but Navarro pushes him into the ropes and shucks him off.

After a simple leap-frog on the comeback, Navarro stops, turns and over-celebrates to the crowd. When he turns around, Maclin hoists him up for a Last Ride-style brutal powerbomb that nearly puts him through the ring.

Maclin heads out after Navarro on the floor. He ends up distracted by Francis, and while he is tied up, Navarro returns into the ring and drops Maclin down throat-first over the top-rope when he tries to do the same.

After bouncing out to the floor at ringside, Maclin is hoisted up and dropped face-first into the hard part of the ring apron by Francis, as Navarro distracted the referee inside the ring. Eric Young starts to make his way down to get a closer look at the action.

Maclin fights back and runs over Navarro. He hangs him upside down in the tree of woe, backs up and charges at him with a big spear. He follows that up with his K.I.A. finisher for the pinfall victory. He looks up at the entrance area and sees Young and The Northern Armory watching on. The show heads to another commercial break.

Tessa Blanchard vs. Lei Ying Lee Announced For TNA Sacrifice

Backstage, Tessa Blanchard is shown walking the halls after her first victory on TNA iMPACT in five years, when she notices Lei Ying Lee standing in a doorway. She asks if she’s got a staring problem.

After things get heated between the two, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella walks up and tells Blanchard if she doesn’t think Lee is on her level, she’ll soon be able to prove it, because at TNA Sacrifice it will be Tessa Blanchard vs. Lei Ying Lee.

Spitfire (Jody Threat & Dani Luna) (c) vs. Ash & Heather By Elegance (w/ George Iceman) to retain the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships

Inside the Impact Zone, George Iceman is shown standing in the ring. The personal concierge for Ash and Heather By Elegance, as always, personally handles their pre-match ring introduction. Out comes the Knockouts duo for a high stakes bout.

After they settle inside the squared circle, their music dies down and the rock and roll theme for the reigning, defending TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions hits. Out comes Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna.

The bell sounds and Ash By Elegance and Jody Threat kick things off for their respective teams. Fans break out in a loud “You look stupid!” chant aimed at Ash, which sets her off. After some back-and-forth action, the Elegant duo begins to take over.

As they do, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, the two teams trade the lead a few times until ultimately, Spitfire picks up the win. Jody Threat gets on the mic after the bout to taunt the Elegant duo for having to now be their personal concierge.

The show heads to another commercial break. When the show returns, Ash and Heather by Elegance are shown looking a mess and unhappy backstage. As they complain about the stuff from Spitfire they are carrying for them stinking, up comes Spitfire with some more smelly gear for them to haul.

Mance Warner (w/ Steph De Lander) defeated Sami Callihan via Disqualification

Inside the Impact Zone, the theme hits to bring out TNA Digital Media Champion Mance Warner, who comes to the ring accompanied by Steph De Lander. After they settle inside the squared circle, Sami Callihan makes his way out as Warner’s scheduled opponent.

The bell sounds and Callihan gets out of the way as Warner tried sneak-attack charging him. Warner turns around into a stunner from Callihan. Callihan heads out to the floor and grabs a steel chair. He holds it up and blasts Warner with it.

As soon as he does, the referee calls for the bell. Callihan whacks him with it again. The fans chant “One more time!” He goes to oblige, but Warner moves and he smacks the steel ring post with it. Warner then runs over Callihan and leaves him laying on the floor.

Warner grabs the steel chair and begins wearing out Callihan with it as blood trickles from his own eye. Security rushes to the scene to break things up. Callihan ends up knocking a bunch of them over like bowling pins, but ultimately they keep the two apart. Fans loudly chant “Let them fight! Let them fight!”

On that note, the theme for TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella hits and the crowd lets out a ridiculously loud roar. Santino gets on the mic and says the fans are going to get what they want, as they will fight in a Street Fight at the upcoming TNA Sacrifice 2025 pay-per-view. The show heads to another commercial break.

Frankie Kazarian defeated Ace Austin

When the show returns, the theme for Wes Lee hits and out he comes accompanied by Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe. Lee takes a seat next to Hannifan and Rehwoldt and joins them for special guest commentary of the next match of the evening.

With that said, Frankie Kazarian’s theme hits and the reigning Call Your Shots Gauntlet winner makes his way out to the ring toting his massive trophy. Ace Austin makes his way out next to a good reaction from the Full Sail crowd.

The bell sounds, but before the match begins, Kazarian insists McKenzie Mitchell get back on the microphone and call him “The King of TNA.” Austin and Kazarian finally get things underway, and it is Austin who jumps out into the early offensive lead.

Kazarian ends up taking over and slowing things down as Lee banters with Hannifan and Rehwoldt on commentary. Austin starts to come to life, rolling Kazarian up for every type of creative pin attempt ever invented. Ultimately, he only gets a two-count each time.

Austin starts peppering Kazarian with an assortment of kicks. He plants him on the mat and leaps high into the air for a jumping leg-drop. He plays to the crowd and then runs and launches himself at Kazarian in the corner of the ring. Kazarian ends up on the floor.

Austin looks for his trademark spot, but sees Tyson and Tyriek right when he would be landing. He walks over and passes through the ropes and brings Kazarian closer to the ring. He hops on the ring apron and blasts Kazarian with a big kick.

He rolls him back into the ring, but when he goes to re-enter the ring himself, he stops and turns around to jaw back-and-forth with Tyson and Tyriek. When he turns around, Kazarian tried to capitalize on the distraction, but Austin out-smarted him.

Unfortunately it wasn’t the only distraction, as Lee stood up from the commentary desk and jawed at Austin to get his attention, this time resulting in Kazarian catching Austin off-guard with his finisher for the pinfall victory.

Once the match wraps up, Tyson and Tyriek hit the ring along with Lee and begin attacking Austin in three-on-one fashion. The Rascalz’ theme hits and Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel sprint down to the ring with steel chairs in their hands to make the save and run off the heel NXT trio. The show heads to another commercial break.

Ash & Heather By Elegance Work As Spitfire’s Personal Concierge

When the show returns, in a “cinematic experience” style segment, Ash and Heather by Elegance are shown being tortured with tedious tasks from the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions Spitfire.

Jody Threat and Dani Luna tells them one has to walk their dog and the other has to carry their bags. The cameras follow them as they awkwardly try and deal with this, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie in The Simple Life-style.

The System (Moose, Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers) defeated Oba Femi & The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy)

It’s main event time!

After next week’s lineup of matches for the March 4 episode of TNA iMPACT are announced (see below), the theme for The System hits and out comes Moose, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers to the ring for the main event. They are accompanied by Alisha Edwards and JDC.

Footage is shown of Moose and Oba Femi’s confrontation from this past Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT on The CW Network, and the announcement of their showdown for WWE Roadblock.

Also shown is the WWE in-ring return of The Hardy Boyz from Tuesday’s NXT on CW, and subsequent announcement of The Hardy’s vs. Fraxiom at WWE Roadblock 2025.

Back inside the Impact Zone, the iconic entrance music for The Hardy Boyz hits and out comes the TNA World Tag-Team Champions Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy to a huge crowd response. After they settle in the ring, the familiar sounds of NXT World Champion Oba Femi’s theme hits.

The crowd does the trademark Oba Femi entrance routine as the top dog in the WWE NXT men’s division makes his way to the ring to join Matt and Jeff in six-man tag-team main event action. The bell sounds and it is Femi and Moose who kick things off for their respective teams.

Fans loudly chant “Oba’s gonna kill you! Oba’s gonna kill you!” After the initial exchange, things come unglued, leading to The Hardy’s hitting the ring and some big multi-man high spots as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, we see The System in what appears to be a comfortable offensive lead, with Moose beating down Jeff Hardy and focusing on his knee. Jeff finally makes the much needed tag to Matt, who hits the ring with a ton of energy, making the fired up offensive comeback for his team.

Oba and Moose end up in the ring together again, with Moose blasting Oba with a big kick to the face. Oba rocked way back, Alistair Overeem getting punched by Francis Ngannou style, but ultimately he stands back upright without ever going down. The crowd went berserk for that.

Femi hits a big sidewalk slam on Femi, but after some more interference, Moose ends up hitting a spear for the pinfall victory. After the match, The System beat down the babyfaces along with The Colons until Joe Hendry and Elijah run out to make the save.

TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella comes out and announces Moose vs. Jeff Hardy in a ladder match for the TNA X-Division Championship, as well as The System & The Colons vs. Joe Hendry, Matt Hardy and three partners of their choosing for TNA Sacrifice. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air.

Next Week:
* Mike Santana vs. John Skyler
* The Northern Armory vs. Ace Austin & The Rascalz
* Xia Brookside vs. Savannah Evans
* We will hear from NXT Champion Oba Femi

WWE NXT live results: The Hardy Boyz return

Posted on by Chris Aiken

One of the most popular tag teams in WWE history returns to the company tonight for a match on NXT.

TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz are taking on Myles Borne & Tavion Heights in a non-title match on tonight’s NXT episode from Cincinnati, Ohio. It’s the first time Matt & Jeff Hardy have teamed together in a WWE ring in nearly six years.

Moose — TNA’s X-Division Champion — is also set to compete on NXT. He’s making a title defense against Lexis King.

In another title match, Stephanie Vaquer puts her Women’s North American Championship on the line against Karmen Petrovic. This is the first title defense for Vaquer since winning the belt from Fallon Henley at Vengeance Day.

One week after officially signing his NXT contract, the former Ricky Starks makes his WWE debut. It will be Ricky Saints & Je’Von Evans vs. Ethan Page & Wes Lee tonight. The match was set up last week when Page and Lee both interrupted Saints’ contract signing.

Join us for live coverage starting at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

**********

NXT is on the air from The Andrew J Brady Music Center in Cincinnati, OH. Opening the show is a women’s title match.

Part of the set includes a ramp level with the ring, which gives me WCW vibes.

NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer defeated Karmen Petrovic (with Ashante “Thee” Adonis) to retain her title

Vaquer pinned Petrovic after the SVB. Good opener. After the match comes a major angle to set up a title vs. title match with Giulia against Vaquer.

They match goes through a split-screen commercial break. Petrovic dives through the rope with a flying crossbody on the floor, just before the show cuts to the break. Some of the best chain wrestling in the match happened during picture-in-picture, while commercials blared.

Vaquer begins a comeback as the show returns from the break, and Vaquer does some of her signature offense. On commentary, Vic Jospeh says Vaquer was a champion in both CMLL and New Japan. Petrovic regains the advantage Vaguer and gets a near falls with a great kick.

Vaquer soon cuts off Petrovic, but Vaquer takes a superkick from Petroovic for another near fall. They trade strikes and kicks. Vaquer flips off Petrovic just before Vaquer executes a dragon screw. Vaquer follows up with her SVB (package neckbreaker) finisher, and Vaquer covers Petrovic for a three count.

NXT Champion Giulia comes out after the match is over for an angle. Giulia gets into the ring to confront Vaquer. Giulia gets the crowd to cheer for Vaquer, only for Giulia to bring up Vaquer saying she is the best champion. Giulia insists she is the best champion.

Vaquer reiterates that she is the champion of champions. Giulia says why don’t we find out who is the best. Vaquer remarks they are friends, but Vaquer then proposes a champion vs. champion match. Giulia and Vaquer hold both of their title belts overhead for a stare down.

A skit begins with Arianna Grace talking with Santino Marella about the NXT-TNA partnership when up walks Lola Vice. She wants a match on either show, and Grace tries to dismiss Vice. This leads to Vice challenging Grace to a match

TNA X-Division Champion Moose defeated Lexis King to retain his title

Moose pinned King after a spear. Moose looked like a superstar, and King fought from underneath. The biggest news was the post-match angle that set up Oba Femi defending the NXT title against Moose at NXT Roadblock.

Crowd reactions were muted on the CW feed because of language, like “holy s***” chants. King took a back drop on the ramp. Moose was dominating much of the match, with King selling throughout. King fires up and starts fighting back. They exchange kicks and King uses a hurricanrana for a near fall. King then does a flip dive.

Moose leaps to the top rope and springboards into a flying crossbody. Powerbomb by Moose for a two count. Moments later, King executes a Coronation for another near fall. Moose counters a second attempt at a Coronation. Moose then cuts down King with a spear. Moose then scores a pinfall to retain his title.

NXT Champion Oba Femi enters after the match for an angle with Moose. Femi confronts Moose and sarcastically congratulates him on beating King. Femi then challenges Moose to a title match at The Theater in MSG for NXT Roadblock. They made it seem like a title vs. title, but apparently this will be Femi defending the NXT title against Moose.

Jordynne Grace is in the ring for a monologue. She knew exactly where she was supposed to be when she first came to NXT. Grace says she carried a company on her back, but she wanted to be in NXT after feeling the hunger in the locker room.

Grace has one goal, which is become the champion of what she calls the greatest women’s division. Grace is cutting a good promo when she is interrupted by Roxanne Perez, because hardly any in-ring promo in NXT can go uninterrupted.

Perez confronts Grace in the ring, and Perez cuts a promo on Grace. Perez event insults TNA, saying Grace was a big fish in a small pond. Grace responds that everyone has a plan until… and Grace punches Perez in the face. Grace gets Perez in a fireman’s carry, but Perez escapes. Clearly, these two are on a collision course for a match very soon. Maybe Roadblock?

Trick Williams is sulking in the locker room. He is basically Diesel in late 1995-early ’96 where he is upset about losing the title, so he’s heeling on people. Le’Von Evans has words with Trick, and they get face-to-face. In walks Ricky Saints, and he is not feeling the love.

Jaida Parker and Kelani Jordan has a kayface “incident” on a bus earlier today. Sarach Schreiber interview Parker, and she cuts a pretty good promo on Jordan.

A post on Instagram teases “The Mystery Four” are in the building, which is the very original name they are giving to the four mystery assailants for now. Surely they we get a better name, right?

TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz (Matt & Jeff Hardy) defeated No Quarter Catch Crew (Tavion Heights & Myles Borne) to retain their titles

Matt Hardy pinned Myles Borne to win the match after a Swanton by Jeff Hardy. NXT Tag Team Champion Nathan Frazier & Axiom watch the match from the ramp, and they get in the ring for angle with the Hardys after the match. This set up another inter-promotional match.

The match itself went through a commercial break with heat on Jeff. Hot tag to Matt. For the finish, Twsit of Fate by Matt, Swanton by Jeff, and Matt follows up by covering Borne for the pinfall. The match was decent enough and the crowd adored the Hardys.

Fraxiom gets into the ring after the match to confront the Hardys. The NXT champs refer to the Hardys as the greatest tag team ever. The Hardys respond with a challenge for a match. Out comes Santino Marella to announce the Hardys will defend the TNA Tag Team Championship against Fraxiom at Roadblock in NYC. Another big match for the NXT PLE.

Tony D’Angelo and The Family are featured in a pre-taped skit for a family sit-down. Subtle teases of Stacks turning is what I took from this skit.

Another skit from backstage sets up a tag team match with Chelsea Green & Piper Niven against Sol Ruca & Zaria. Green & Niven tried to big league the NXT team, but Ruca & Zaira were having none of it.

Jaida Parker defeated Arianna Grace

Parker pinned Grace after a spinning back fist. Weakest match on the show so far, but it was not supposed to be the main event. While Grace got some offense, this match was more about getting Parker over.

This show is morphing into TNA, and I had flashbacks as it was TO THE BACK! Cut backstage and apparently The Mystery Four is wrecking shop again and attacking other wrestlers. Too bad there aren’t a bunch of cameras around to catch them in the act, but at least there are cameras for the community theater skits. Not sure what I would do without the skits. Anyway, this Mystery Four angle is like one long Tonya Harding angle. Who are these assailants?

Eddy Thorpe in a vignette cuts a promo near the Ohio River in Cincinnati. Thorpe mention is people once lived here until they were forced out. He likens that to his situation in NXT when he beat Trick Williams, but Thorpe is still somehow denied a title match. Thorpe wants another match with Trick. Name the time and place, Thorpe says to the camera.

Sarah Schreiber interviews NXT GM Ava, and Ava officially announced NXT Women’s Champion Guilia against NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer in a title for title match at Roadblock. So, this is basically a unification match.

Ricky Saints & Je’Von Evans defeated Wes Lee & Ethan Page

Saints pinned Lee to win the match. Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont were in Lee’s corner for the match. They would interfere at one point just before the finish.

The heel duo got heat on Evans for a long time. It felt like days. Eventually, Saints comes in off a hot tag. Saints runs wild on Lee, until Lee cuts him off after Saints is distracted by Igwe and Dupont. Saints thwarts their interference, but he is cut off when distracted. Not for long. They soon go home.

Just before the going home, Evans and Page brawl through the crowd and out of there. That is after Evans does a dive on Page, when Page breaks up a pinning attempt.

The crowd chanted “Ricky” at Saints. He executed a Dominator finisher they called “Roshambo” (probably spelled different to be cool and whatnot). Saints then scored the deciding pinfall on Lee.

Pretty dang good show overall. Also pretty some dang good matches announced for the coming weeks. There were some goofy skits, but that is to be expected on NXT. Being on the road outside the usual setting of the sound stage really made this NXT much better to watch. The matches also delivered, along with the angles.

Matt Hardy says WWE NXT appearance was a ‘very last-minute thing’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Five years after his last match for the company, Matt Hardy is excited to compete in a WWE ring again.

The Hardys will return to WWE for a match on NXT next Tuesday, facing off against Tavion Heights & Myles Borne of No Quarter Catch Crew. The match is happening due to the partnership that exists between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling. Matt & Jeff Hardy are both signed to deals with TNA, where they are the promotion’s current tag team champions.

The match was announced when Matt & Jeff appeared via video on NXT this week and accepted a challenge from No Quarter Catch Crew. On his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt said the video that aired on NXT was a last-minute thing and wasn’t made until 45-60 minutes before it was posted. Matt said he’s stoked to be returning to WWE, but he doesn’t know where things are going past this match.

“Really excited about this, man,” Matt said. “All this stuff — even us popping up and responding to that challenge on NXT, that was a very last-minute thing. So it’s going to be interesting. It’s going to be fun. I don’t know where this ride’s going. I really don’t want to know where this route is going in all capacities. Because I want, especially whatever we end up doing, I want everything to be as natural and as organic and as real as possible, as authentic as possible.”

Matt feels the working relationship between NXT and TNA has been a two-way street with both sides benefitting. He thinks working with talented young teams helps keep The Hardys relevant, and being in the ring with The Hardys helps those young teams too.

This NXT appearance is Jeff Hardy’s first time back with WWE since 2021, when he was released by the company after leaving through the crowd during a house show match. Matt said Jeff wants to make things right with WWE and show them that his past erratic behavior is over.

“He’s very happy to be going back, and I feel like he wants to right the wrongs,” Matt said. “He wants to leave on a good note. No more erratic behavior. He wants to go back and show them who he is.

“And I think one of the reasons even with this whole exchange going on, I think one of the reasons they probably waited a little while to pull the trigger and do something with Jeff and I, was just to kind of see where Jeff was, just make sure Jeff is good. Anybody who’s been here with TNA — they can’t go without talking about how incredible and professional a performer Jeff has been.”

A future bout between The Hardys and NXT Tag Team Champions Nathan Frazer & Axiom has been teased but remains unconfirmed as of now. Matt said he’s been catching up on Frazer & Axiom’s matches and is a fan of their work.

On TNA Impact next Thursday, The Hardys will team up with NXT Champion Oba Femi against Moose, Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers.

WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi teaming with The Hardys on next TNA Impact

Posted on by Ethan Renner

WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi will team with TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardys on the Thursday, February 27 TNA Impact.

Femi made a surprise appearance on Thursday’s live TNA Impact alongside Matt and Jeff Hardy to save Leon Slater from a beatdown at the hands of X-Division Champion Moose and The System’s Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards.
