TNA Impact TV spoilers for next week: Slammiversary rematch

Posted on by Josh Nason

Prior to and following last night’s live edition of TNA Impact from Kingston, Rhode Island, they filmed additional matches for next Thursday’s show in addition to their weekly Xplosion show.

These come courtesy of our Arya Witner.

  • Xia Brookside & Lei Ying Lee defeated (unknown)
  • Indi Hartwell & Dani Luna defeated Jody Threat & Arianna Grace 
  • The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed) defeated Nic & Ryan Nemeth. After the match, the Nemeths cut a promo and Nic said they are invoking their Tag Team title rematch clause against the Hardys at Emergence. Ryan made fun of Rhode Island’s lack of sports teams and their ugly children. Home Town Man came out and demanded an apology. Nemeth’s laid out HTM and unmasked him, but security covered him up. The Rascalz ran back down to run them off.
  • Masha Slamovich defeated Knockouts Champion Jacy Jayne by DQ. Ash by Elegance ran in and hit Slamovich with the Knockouts Tag Team title belt for the DQ. The match went around five minutes and was disappointing if only because they didn’t have the time to have a better match with a better finish.
  • X-Division Champion Leon Slater defeated Cedric Alexander and Jason Hotch in a three-way title defense.
  • The System (Moose & Eddie Edwards) defeated AJ Francis & Trick Williams. Moose pinned Williams with a spear after KC Navarro accidentally hit him with his crutch. 

TNA returns Friday to Kingston for another set of tapings on the road to Emergence.

Hulk Hogan Tribute Kicks Things Off

This week’s special live episode of TNA Impact kicks off with a black and white “In memory of” graphic honoring Hulk Hogan. The voice of Tom Hannifan is heard announcing the unfortunate news, and then the show settles inside the Impact Zone where fans are chanting “USA! USA!”

Santino Marella, Masha Slamovich Open The Show

Following an extended video package recapping TNA Slammiversary 2025 from this past weekend, the show officially gets underway with the “Cross the Line” theme song and accompanying intro video. A shot of the Ryan Center is shown as Hannifan officially introduces the show.

Fans are loudly chanting “TNA! TNA!” as the camera settles inside the building. Santino Marella’s theme hits and the TNA Director of Authority emerges to get the show started. Santino addresses the top male and female titles in TNA being held by NXT stars.

“So lemme tell you something brothers …and sisters,” he says, in a clear not-so-subtle tip-of-the-cap to the late ‘Hulkster.’ As he continues to talk, the entrance tune for Masha Slamovich hits. The former TNA Knockouts Champion makes her way out.

Slamovich settles in the ring and gets on the mic, telling Santino she’s not out here to thank him for his pep talk. She’s out here to get what is rightfully hers. She says Jacy Jane stole what should be hers at TNA Slammiversary.

She demands her contractually obligated rematch next week. Santino green lights it. Off she goes, as Santino formally announces “Masha Slamovich vs. Jesse Jane for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.”

The System, Trick Williams & First Class, Order 4 Ready For War

As Slamovich is heading to the back, the theme for The System hits to bring out Moose, JDC, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards and Alisha Edwards. Eddie shakes hands with Santino and begins first on the microphone. Eddie says The System fights for what they believe in.

He claims at TNA Slammiversary, they weren’t representing The System, they were representing the locker room and TNA as a whole. He said they sent Darkstate packing back to WWE NXT. The crowd cheers and breaks out in another “TNA! TNA!” chant.

Eddie talks about doing everything he can for a long time to help this company. He says there was a time he held this company down selfishly, but those days are over. He vows to not let any outsiders disrespect them.

Myers continues, saying the three letters T-N-A mean everything to The System. He says TNA isn’t a little pit-stop in their wrestling careers. It’s their home. JDC gets a turn on the stick next. He tells Santino if TNA is going to war, they’ll be their soldiers.

He hands the mic off to Moose, who brings up accomplishing almost everything in TNA. At this point in his career it’s not about titles. It’s about building a legacy that makes his name synonymous with TNA, just like “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles.

Moose goes on to give Leon Slater props once again for earning the right to call himself the youngest TNA X-Division Champion in company history. He sees him taking the division to new heights. He says that brings him to his next point, the TNA World Championship.

He says others are calling themselves the ‘face of TNA,’ and he’s seen many people come and go, just like Eddie Edwards has, who have said the same thing. He says Eddie is the heart and soul of TNA. He says they’ve been waving the TNA flag and carrying the company on their backs through thick-and-thin.

Moose says he knows what he must now do next. It’s as easy as three words. “Whoop that Trick.” Right on cue, the drumroll hits and the theme for the TNA World Champion hits. Out comes the WWE NXT Superstar Trick Williams accompanied by First Class.

Trick goes on to call out Moose for mumbling his words while trying to call him out. He says to be clear, this is his house now. “I’m the man who took out the average Joe.” He boasts being the same man who also took out Mike Santana and brought TNA the largest attendance of all-time.

“This is Trick-N-A,” he adds. He tells Moose he doesn’t care if he’s on a mission, repping The System or playing for the Detroit Pistons. He can’t mess with Trick, “let’s talk about it!” Moose tells Trick to wobble his ass down here “with Uncle Phil and Pink” and The System will show them how they do things in TNA.

On that note, the entrance tune for Order 4 hits and out comes Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands duo of John Skyler and Jason Hotch. Ali tells “Mr. Williams” that they shouldn’t talk about it. He mentions burying his ass like his name is The Undertaker as he and Order 4 walk past him.

Ali demands “the citizens of TNA” in the Impact Zone rise and give him proper applause. As he finishes his statement while entering the ring, he and Order 4 are attacked by The System. The two groups brawl as Trick and First Class are shown laughing and enjoying it on the stage.

The show heads to a commercial break. When the show returns, Santino Marella is backstage with The System, when Matt Cardona walks up. He talks about faction warfare with three groups and says they have to settle this.

The Elegance Brand (Ash By Elegance, Heather By Elegance & M By Elegance) (w/ George Iceman) vs. The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay) & Mara Sade

Inside the Impact Zone, George Iceman talks some trash on the mic to the crowd before personally introducing the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions The Elegance Brand. Out comes the entire trio of Ash By Elegance, Heather By Elegance and M By Elegance.

From there, The IInspiration duo of Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay make their way out. They settle in the ring as the crowd and commentary team await the arrival of their mystery partner. The theme for Mara Sade, formerly known as Jakara Jackson, hits and out she comes.

A brawl between all six kicks things off. As The Elegance Brand settles into the early offensive lead, the show shifts gears and heads into an early mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, Ash and the rest of the Elegance Brand are keeping Lee isolated on their side of the ring.

Eventually, Lee makes the much-needed tag. This leads to Mara Slade helping out en route to The IInspiration hitting their double-team IIdolizer finisher for the pinfall victory. The three celebrate together after the match.

Match Result: The IInspiration & Mara Slade defeated The Elegance Brand

TNA Injury Report Presented By Bioflex

Tom Hannifan narrates a new TNA Injury Report presented by Bioflex. We learn that TNA interviewer Gia Miller suffered multiple bruises and a minor head injury as a result of the attack by Tessa Blanchard, who is suspended indefinitely as a result. Miller is under medical observation and will be sidelined while recovering.

Moose suffered a hip injury during his TNA X-Division Championship loss to Leon Slater at TNA Slammiversary. His status is day-to-day as he is being monitored by TNA medical staff.

Finally, KC Navarro reaggravated a previous knee injury during the four-way tag-team title ladder match at TNA Slammiversary.

Indi Hartwell And ‘Not Her Mentor’ Victoria Crawford

Backstage, Mike Santana avoids questions about coming up short at TNA Slammiversary. Indi Hartwell is interviewed, when Victoria Crawford and Dani Luna get involved in the mix and a match is suggested.

Crawford, calling herself Hartwell’s mentor, goes off to find Santino to make said-match. Hartwell insists Crawford is not her mentor. The show heads into another commercial break.

Eric Young Wants To ‘Cleanse’ TNA

The show returns to Eric Young with The Northern Armory talking like a crazy man about wanting to do what’s necessary to “cleanse TNA.” Tom Hannifan questions what in the world that could mean. The show then moves on.

Leon Slater & The Hardys & Steve Maclin Talk

Inside the Impact Zone, the youngest TNA X-Division Champion of all-time, Leon Slater, is introduced. He makes his way to the ring as highlights of AJ Styles singing his praises at TNA Slammiversary are shown. He settles in the ring and gets on the microphone.

Slater tells the fans chanting his name and “You deserve it!” that they are far too kind. He talks about making history and how he respects Moose for how he has handled things. He vows to bring the TNA X-Division Championship to new heights.

He asks The Hardys to come out. They do. Matt Hardy talks about there being a special energy in the building tonight and in TNA in general. He sings the praises of Leon Slater, and then Jeff Hardy does the same. Steve Maclin’s theme hits and out he comes.

Maclin talks about being ready for war after outsiders infiltrate TNA regularly. He then praises Slater for being the future and calls The Hardys his peers and mentors and the greatest tag-team of all-time. “And then well, you got me.”

They claim that the four of them are ready to represent TNA in war. From there, they alll hold their respective titles up in the air together to end things. The show heads to another commercial break on that note.

No Disqualification Match
Mance Warner (w/ Steph De Lander) vs. Jake Something

The show returns from the break live inside the Impact Zone as Mance Warner’s theme song plays. Out he comes accompanied by Steph De Lander for advertised No Disqualification action against Jake Something. He settles in the ring and poses.

Music for his opponent plays, and Jake Something runs down the ramp, is met by Warner in the aisle, and the two immediately get after it. In the ring, Warner takes over and begins beating Something down with a steel chair and trash can lid.

De Lander continues feeding chairs and other weapons inside the ring. Something whacks Warner with one of them that knocks him to the floor. He builds up a full head of steam and sprints to the ropes for a dive, but dives right into a chair shot from Warner.

As Matthew Rehwoldt points out, De Lander feeds Warner a “sledgehammer and a smooch” as the action resumes in the ring. He misses on the former, however, leading to Something blasting Warner. Something’s arm appears to be bothering him pretty bad.

Regardless, Something heads out after Warner on the floor, stopping to pull out a black sack full of thumbtacks. He pours them all over the ringside area on the floor. He looks for a chokeslam, but Warner fights his way free. Something hits a back-suplex into them. Counter-productive?

Something is up first, because 100 tacks in your body doesn’t hurt as much when you initiate the slam onto them. Back in the ring, Something hits a follow-up Blackhole Slam and gets the win to put an end to the violence. The show heads to another break.

Match Result: Jake Something defeated Mance Warner

Jacy Jane Ready To Raise The Bar

The show returns to the sounds of Jacy Jane’s theme music. The double women’s champion makes her way out with the WWE NXT Women’s Championship and the TNA Knockouts World Champion.

She cuts a quick promo about making history and raising the bar. She mentions her contractually obligated rematch against Masha Slamovich on next week’s show and tells everyone to take a picture of perfection.

The Great Hands (John Skyler & Jason Hotch) (w/ Mustafa Ali & Tasha Steelz) vs. Matt Cardona & Brian Myers (w/ Alisha Edwards)

The show returns to the sounds of the Order 4 theme song. Out comes Mustafa Ali and Tasha Steelz with The Secret Service guys in suits lining the aisle, as The Great Hands team of John Skyler and Jason Hotch make their way to the ring for tag-team action.

Out next are their opponents, “The Complete” Matt Cardona and The System’s Brian Myers, accompanied by Alisha Edwards. The bell sounds and off we go. Cardona and Myers take it to Hotch early on. Myers settles into the offensive lead.

As the action continues, Ali tries to get involved, but is stopped. Steelz tries to get involved, but Alisha stops her. A giant member of The Secret Service for Ali hits the ring. The massive man chokeslams his way into an assisted victory, as The Great Hands follow up with the pin. We head to another break.

Match Result: The Great Hands defeated Matt Cardona & Brian Myers

Mike Santana vs. Joe Hendry

It’s main event time!

When the show returns, we see Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt on camera at ringside getting ready to call the final match of this week’s special live, post-Slammiversary episode of TNA Impact in Kingston, Rhode Island.

Before they can do so, however, they are joined by an unwelcome guest in the form of self-proclaimed “King of TNA” Frankie Kazarian. Security ends up coming out and escorting him to the back when he is ejected before anything happens.

Mike Santana’s theme hits and after a quick glance at him backstage in his gear, pacing side-to-side, he begins his walk through the crowd and to the ring. He settles inside to a good reaction from the Rhode Island crowd.

The viral smash hit, “I Believe in Joe Hendry” is the next thing to hit the house speakers, as Joe Hendry himself emerges and makes his way to the ring. A side-to-side wave-led crowd interaction is followed by the soap opera-style dramatic turn to close out his fan-friendly ring walk.

Before the bell sounds, the show heads to a quick pre-match commercial break. During the break, Frankie Kazarian tries bullying his way back out. He is stopped by Hendry on one side of the floor. He tries walking around to the other, but Santana stops him.

After security runs down and forces him to the back again, the show returns from break and the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. The match starts off with Hendry attempting a sportsmanlike shake of hands.

Santana plays to the crowd before deciding, and afterwards, the two finally get after it. Santana starts off strong, but it isn’t long before Hendry takes over and settles into a prolonged run of offensive control. Hendry is dominating, but can’t find a way to finish Santana off.

As the action continues, the show shifts gears and settles into the final mid-match commercial break of the evening. When the show returns, Hendry is blasting Santana with European uppercuts, but Santana explodes off the ropes with a clothesline to shift the momentum.

Santana goes for the Rolling Buck-50, but Hendry avoids it and seconds later, catches Santana with a picture-perfect cutter. Both guys are down and slow to recover as the referee begins his double count. Hendry hits an Olympic slam for a close two-count.

After the two each try their finishers, and an insane amount of back-and-forth pin attempts and roll-ups, it is Santana who pulls things off after avoiding a Razor’s Edge from Hendry. He picks up the 1-2-3 and the win.

He and Hendry go nose-to-nose and Hendry shakes his hand and walks off. Santana celebrates as Hannifan takes the show off the air. That’s how things wrap up.

Match Result: Mike Santana defeated Joe Hendry

New double champion Jacy Jayne to speak on live TNA Impact

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Following her Slammiversary victory, WWE NXT star Jacy Jayne is slated to appear on TNA Impact this Thursday.

Jayne became a double champion by defeating Masha Slamovich at Sunday night’s pay-per-view. Already the NXT Women’s Champion going into that winner-take-all match, Jayne now holds the TNA Knockouts Championship as well. We’ll hear from Jayne this Thursday night on a live edition of Impact.

Interference from Fatal influence partners Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx helped Jayne win at Slammiversary. Lei Ying Lee and Xia Brookside did counter that interference, but an inadvertent ref bump kept Slamovich from getting the three count when she had Jayne beat. Jayne then used her Rolling Encore finisher to end Slamovich’s nine-month reign with the Knockouts title.

TNA’s two World Championships are now held by NXT wrestlers with Trick Williams retaining the TNA World Championship over Joe Hendry and Mike Santana on Sunday.

The Ryan Center in Kingston, Rhode Island is hosting Thursday night’s live Impact episode as well as a TV taping on Friday.

Here is what’s been announced for Thursday’s show so far:

TNA Impact (Thursday, July 24) —

  • Joe Hendry vs. Mike Santana
  • NXT Women’s Champion & TNA Knockouts Champion Jacy Jayne appears
  • The Elegance Brand (Ash By Elegance, Heather By Elegance & M By Elegance) vs. The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessica McKay) and a mystery partner

Jacy Jayne is a double champion.

Jayne won the TNA Knockouts title at Sunday’s Slammiversary, pinning Masha Slamovich in a match where both the Knockouts and NXT Women’s Championship were on the line. As a result, Jayne has become the first person ever to simultaneously hold titles in both companies.

The finish of the match had Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley at ringside interfere, only for Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee to come out and brawl with them into the crowd. Slamovich hit the Snow Plow and got a visual pinfall, but the referee was down after Jayne connected with an inadvertent superkick. The two traded nearfalls until Slamovich was sent into the ring post, then was pinned followig rolling encore by Jayne.

Slamovich had been champion since October of last year, defeating Jordynne Grace at Bound for Glory. She had been making appearances on NXT television in the weeks leading to the double title match, teaming with Sol Ruca and Zaria to defeat Fatal Attraction on this week’s NXT.

Jayne has held the NXT Women’s Championship since May 27, when she defeated Stephanie Vaquer in a surprise on an episode of NXT.

TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships
The Elegance Brand (Ash & Heather By Elegance) (c) vs. The IInspiration (Jess McKay & Cassie Lee)

The pre-show panel send things down to Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt at ringside, who set up the tale of the tape for our first match of the evening. The TNA Tag Lines graphic flashes on the screen for the opening contest.

From there, The IInspiration duo of Jess McKay and Cassie Lee make their way out. The duo heads to the ring for their big title opportunity. George Iceman snatches the microphone from Gia Miller at the top of the stage to handle the intro for The Elegance Brand.

With that said, Ash by Elegance and Heather By Elegance make their way out and head to the ring for their scheduled TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championship defense. They are accompanied by M By Elegance. All three are carrying torches of liberty.

At the bell, we see Heather By Elegance and Jess McKay kick things off for their respective teams. McKay gets Heather in the corner and stomps a mudhole in her. She does not walk it dry, however. She makes the tag to Lee, and the two hit a double-team spot and do a Charlie’s Angels style pose.

The Elegance Brand take over after that, controlling the offensive for a couple of minutes until Cassie Lee gets the hot tag and shifts the momentum into the favor of The IInspiration. Cassie hits a superplex off the ropes on Ash for a two-count that M By Elegance breaks up.

Lee and McKay each take turns connecting with dives from the corner to the pile of Elegance on the floor. In the ring, McKay and Lee look for their Idolizer double-team finisher, only for it to be broken up. A torch to the face from Elegance leads to Rarified Air for the win.

Match Result: The Elegance Brand defeated The IInspiration to retain the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team titles.

Eric Young (w/The Northern Armory) vs. The Hometown Man

As the pre-show panel talk about tonight’s action, the lights in the UBS Arena go out. The theme for Eric Young hits, and out he comes with The Northern Armory. Young gets on the mic and trashes New York, leading to The Hometown Man coming out.

The Hometown Man takes out Judas Icarus and Travis Williams at ringside, and enters the ring and begins mixing it up with Young. The bell sounds to get this impromptu match off-and-running. Young fights back and tears the New York Islanders jersey off The Hometown Man.

From there, The Hometown Man begins fighting back and taking over. He hits the ten punch spot on Young in the corner, as the fans count along. He brings Young to the ropes in the corner, but Young knocks him off and hits a flying elbow for a two-count.

Young loses his cool and snaps, getting close to picking a fight with a fan in the crowd once again. He eventually re-enters the ring, where The Hometown Man has recovered. Young looks for a piledriver, but Hometown Man rolls him up for the three-count and the upset win.

Match Result: The Hometown Man defeated Eric Young

Steve Maclin, Jake Something & Mance Warner (w/Steph Delander) vs. Real1, Zilla Fatu & Josh Bishop

TNA International Champion Steve Maclin makes his way out, followed by Jake Something and then Mance Warner, who comes out accompanied by Steph De Lander. They settle in the ring and then their Fourth Rope opposition comes out.

Real1, formerly known as Enzo Amore, makes his way out accompanied by Zilla Fatu and Josh Bishop. Real1 does all of his old WWE routines, “Badda boom, realest guy in the room,” the things you can’t teach and so on and so forth.

He then lists all of the people Zilla Fatu is related to, as well as how Bishop looks like Sid. He takes turns verbally dressing down Maclin, Something and Warner, and finishes with “How you doin?!” They enter the ring and it’s time to get this one underway.

At the bell, Fatu and Warner kick things off for their respective teams. They begin trading shots. Fatu hits an explosive Samoan Drop and heads to the top-rope. He misses a big splash, and Warner tags in Maclin. Real1 tags in, and Maclin goes to work on him.

Things break down with all six brawling it out inside and outside of the ring. In the chaos, Bishop hits a big chokeslam. Incidental contact with Mance Warner leads to Real1 hitting Eat Defeat for the pinfall victory.

Match Result: Real1, Zilla Fatu & Josh Bishop defeated Steve Maclin, Jake Something & Mance Warner

Mustafa Ali vs. Cedric Alexander

The pre-show wraps up after final hype from the panelists about the long-awaited return of AJ Styles to TNA for the first time in 11 years later tonight. We learn that Mustafa Ali vs. Cedric Alexander will be the first pay-per-view bout of the show.

A live cold open shows a lady singing the National Anthem inside the UBS Arena. From there, the elaborate cold open video package airs to get the pay-per-view portion of the show officially off-and-running.

Back live, Mustafa Ali makes his way out first accompanied by Tasha Steelz and his Secret Service guys. A bunch of heels from The Matrix, basically. They line the aisle as Ali settles in the ring. Cedric Alexander comes out next and fires up the crowd.

The bell sounds to get things started. These two soak up the moment and get after it. The action spills to the floor early, where Ali hits a nasty German suplex. He re-enters the ring and goes for a dive through the ropes, but his Secret Service didn’t catch him. He landed right on his head.

Ali pops up to “Holy sh*t!” chants and slumps against the ring apron on the floor, all the while wearing a massive smirk. Moments later, we see a wild Michinoku Driver onto the Secret Service members on the floor.

Back in the ring. Ali hits a sick tornado DDT. He looks to follow up with a standing moonsault-senton combo, but Alexander rolls out of the way. A front face-lock suplex into the turnbuckles from Alexander gets him a close two-count.

On the floor, the top-half of the steel ring steps are removed. Alexander hits a big back body-drop, Shawn Michaels-level height, on Ali, who lands on the unforgiving steel on the way down. Tasha Steelz distracts the referee, allowing John Skyler to attack out of nowhere.

Ali follows up with a 450-splash off the top-rope onto Alexander. He immediately follows up with the cover, yet Alexander somehow kicks out before the count of three. A loud “TNA! TNA!” chant breaks out. Steelz gets in the ring and pushes the referee. She gets ejected.

Ali measures Alexander for a rolling neckbreaker attempt, but instead dives into a well-timed cutter-counter from Alexander. Skyler tries getting involved, but gets bumped to the floor. Alexander hits Lumbar-Check on Ali into a pin, but Ali somehow kicks out, too.

The action continues, and as Alexander has Ali down, a chair enters the mix. Steelz runs back down and slides into the ring. She crawls to the chair, but by the time she gets to it, Alexander steps on it. Alexander hits Steelz with a Lumbar Check, but Ali quickly hits Alexander with a 450 for the win.

Match Result: Mustafa Ali defeated Cedric Alexander

The System (JDC, Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers) (w/Alisha Edwards) & Matt Cardona vs. Darkstate (Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, Saquon Shugars & Cutler James)

After some preamble from Hannifan and Rewholdt, and the international commentary team at ringside, we shift gears and prepare for a big eight-man tag-team bout, with TNA stars taking on WWE NXT stars. Out first comes The System trio of JDC, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers.

They head to the ring accompanied by Alisha Edwards. The theme for Matt Cardona hits and Long Island’s own “Alwayz Ready” makes his way out to a huge hometown reaction from the crowd. Darkstate foursome Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, Saquon Shugars, and Cutler James are out next.

As soon as Darkstate surrounds the ring, The System and Cardona bring the fight to them, with all eight guys brawling in and around the ringside area. Alisha slides JDC a chair and blows a whistle and points to the sky, in an homage to Sabu, before JDC hits a dive to the floor.

Osiris manhandles Myers in the ring after Myers is sent into the steel ring post on the floor. Things settle into an actual match now, with Darkstate taking the early lead. Lennox tags in and picks up where Osiris left off, taking it to Myers.

Shugars hits the ring to knock Myers’ partners off the apron, taking away his option to tag out, which he desparately needs to do at this point. They drag Myers back to their side of the ring and continue utilizing frequent tags to keep a fresh man on him at all times.

Shugars ends up as the legal man in the ring for Darkstate, just as Cardona finally tags in for the other side. The crowd goes wild as Cardona hits the Re-Boot for a close two-count. Cardona hits Radio Silence into a Boston Knee Party from Edwards for the win.

Match Result: The System & Matt Cardona defeated Darkstate

Gia Miller Interviews Tim Malcolm

Tom Hannifan mentions on commentary how all the stars are in the house tonight. He introduces Gia Miller, who is standing by at ringside with Tim Malcolm (yes THE Tim Malcolm) of TLC’s 90 Day Fiancée.

The crowd proceeds to boo the living hell out of him as he tries talking about how big of a TNA fan he is. You’ve got to love pro wrestling fans.

Tessa Blanchard (w/Victoria Crawford) vs. Indi Hartwell

The pre-match video package then airs to set the stage for Knockouts one-on-one action, which is up next. Back live, Tessa Blanchard’s theme hits and out she comes accompanied by Victoria Crawford. Her opponent, Indi Hartwell, comes out next to a big reaction.

The bell sounds and off we go. The two stare at each other for a good few seconds before engaging. Blanchard gets Hartwell to chase her in and around the ring, and catches her coming in with a big shot. Fans chant “She’s a racist!” at Blanchard.

Blanchard forges ahead, ignoring the crowd and continuing to dominate the early portion of the match. After several more minutes of back-and-forth action, Blanchard hits a picture-perfect Magnum off the ropes. She goes for the cover, but Hartwell kicks out.

Blanchard sells it like she saw a ghost, as commentary reminds the viewing audience that no one has kicked out of it since she’s returned. Hartwell hits Hurts Don’t It and a big follow-up into a pin for the victory out of nowhere.

As Gia Miller is interviewing Hartwell at ringside afterwards, Blanchard snaps and attacks Hartwell. Gia tries stopping her, so Blanchard snaps even worse and viciously attacks Miller, slamming her face into the steel steps as Craford holds Hartwell back from attempting to help.

Security eventually breaks things up. Backstage, Santino Marella is filled with rage as he approaches Blanchard and Crawford. Blanchard says they deserved it. She calls Gia a stooge. Santino says there will be repercussions for her actions and has security carry her away.

Match Result: Indi Hartwell defeated Tessa Blanchard

The IInspiration With An Announcement

Backstage, we see George Iceman and The Elegance Brand with their TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships. They are confronted by The IInspiration, who are mad about M By Elegance helping them in the match earlier. They tease a friend in high places for a trios match on Impact.

Winner Take All
TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich vs. NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jane

The pre-match video package airs for the next match of the evening, which is the “Winner Take All” champion versus champion showdown, as TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich and NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jane collide.

The NXT Women’s Champion makes her way to the ring accompanied by Fatal Influence. The TNA Knockouts Champion is out next. The bell sounds and off we go. Slamovich starts off well, but it isn’t long before Jane takes over.

Jane settles into a prolonged run in the offensive lead. She dominates Slamovich, but is unable to finish her off. Every time Slamovich shows signs of life, Jane’s cronies from Fatal Influence get involved. Jane tries a cheap shot with the title, but Slamovich hangs on.

As Fatal Influence gets involved again, Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee run out to make the save, beating down Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley in the process. Meanwhile in the ring, we see a Snow Plow from Slamovich for a close two-count of her own.

Slamovich looks for Requiem, but Jane avoids it. Jane with a roll-up out of nowhere, but Slamovich kicks out. Jane hits a Rolling Encore out of the blue and covers her. 1-2-3. Jacy Jane wins. She is now the TNA Knockouts and NXT Women’s Champion.

After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva gets on the apron and watches Jane celebrate with both titles.

Match Result: Jacy Jane defeated Masha Slamovich to become the TNA Knockouts & NXT Women’s Champion

TNA X-Division Championship
Moose (c) vs. Leon Slater

The commentators hype things up for the next match, which once again features a title on-the-line. The TNA Tag Lines graphic flashes on the screen to set the stage for the TNA X-Division Championship. Moose, the reigning title-holder is chasing history as the longest reigning champ.

Leon Slater is looking to become the youngest TNA X-Division Champion ever with a potential win tonight. Slater makes his way to the ring to a good reaction from the crowd inside the packed UBS Arena, with 7,623 fans in attendance, setting a new U.S. record for TNA.

Reigning TNA X-Division Champion Moose is shown on the stage in a throne with a slightly modified theme song. He makes his way to the ring. The ring announcer finishes up the pre-match introductions and the bell sounds to get things started.

Moose manhandles Slater from the word “go.” On the floor, he hoists Slater up in a powerbomb position, with his body draping. He swings him side-to-side, looking to bash him into the ring apron. Instead, Slater flips to his feet and leaps a charging Moose, who spears the ring steps.

Now with Moose’s shoulder weakened, Slater takes over on offense, hitting some big high spots that pops the crowd back inside the ring. Slater knocks Moose out to the floor and does his trademark sprinting leap over the ring post to the floor high spot.

Moose takes over again, as Slater’s mom, sister and girlfriend are shown in the crowd. Slater begins fighting back. He hoists Moose up for a Torture Rack Blue Thunder Bomb, but Moose avoids it. Slater hits a Senton 450 off the ropes but somehow Moose kicks out.

Seconds later, Moose begins catching his second wind. He nails Slater with a spear that sends him out to the floor. Moose goes after him, but runs into a Code Red from a prepared Slater. Slater rolls Moose into the ring and climbs to the top.

Moose rolls far away and flips him off. Slater hits a Swanton like Jeff Hardy way across the ring. He follows that up with a Senton 450 off the top for the pin and the win.

With the victory, Leon Slater becomes the youngest TNA X-Division Champion of all-time. He celebrates with his mom, sister and girlfriend in the crowd in a beautiful moment. Moose puts the title around Slater’s waist in a rare moment of respect from The System member.

Match Result: Leon Slater defeated Moose to become the new TNA X-Division Champion

AJ Styles Makes Long-Awaited TNA Return

The post-match celebration for Leon Slater continues, and then the theme for AJ Styles hits and the record-breaking crowd in Long Island goes bonkers as “The Phenomenal One” makes his way out to the ring.

He asks if the fans missed him. He says it’s good to be back in the place where he made his name. He talks about the company having some of the best young talent in the world, like Slater, who became the youngest X-Division Champion in history tonight.

‘Fans break out in a loud “You deserve it!” chant aimed at Slater. Styles tells Slater not to listen to the fans. He says he doesn’t deserve it. He earned it. The fans cheer. Fans break out in a “Welcome Back!” chant aimed at Styles.

Styles says Slater reminded fans that TNA isn’t about weight limits, it’s about no limits. He mentions some of the names he shared the ring with during his days in the X-Division and then once again congratulates Leon Slater for becoming the youngest X-Division Champion ever.

His music plays again. Slater walks off as Styles claps from the ring looking at him. He then poses to the crowd himself on the ropes. That’s how the AJ Styles appearance wrapped up. For now, anyways.

TNA Tag-Team Championship Ladder Match
The Nemeths (Nic & Ryan Nemeth) (c) vs. The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed) vs. First Class (AJ Francis & KC Navarro) vs. The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy)

Now it’s time for another championship clash, as the TNA Tag-Team Championships will be on the line. The Nemeths defend against The Rascalz, First Class and The Hardys in a four-way ladder match. The pre-match package wraps up and back live return inside UBS Arena.

The Rascalz duo of Zachary Wentz and Myron Reed, who is filling in for Trey Miguel, make their way out first. First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro, who is dealing with an injury himself, come out to some random rappers. The Hardys come out last and the bell sounds.

All hell breaks loose straight out of the gate. Within all of a minute, we see multiple ladders entered into the mix. The high spot fest begins early. We see The Rascalz hit some crazy spots, followed by The Nemeths.

At one point, we see Ryan Nemeth get in MLB legend Johnny Damon’s face at ringside. Damon shoves him. Nic runs over to hold Ryan back. AJ Francis hits a huge moonsault off the ladder onto the pile of bodies in the ring.

Moments later, as Francis and Navarro are both climbing up the same ladder in the ring, it is shoved over and they go flying onto a pair of ladder bridges near the entrance. Francis’ legs go through the rungs on the long way down. Ouch.

From there, The Hardys come to life again. They lay Navarro out over a ladder bridge near the commentary desk. Jeff Hardy hits a swanton onto it, but it doesn’t bend or break. Hardy’s back snaps bad upon landing.

Apparently he’s fine, however, because seconds later Jeff Hardy calls for something from the entrance area. We see a rope style ladder drop from the ceiling. Ryan starts climbing it, but Matt whacks him with a chair.

Nic tries climbing the rope ladder, but Jeff stops him. Jeff climbs the rope ladder and pulls the belts down. The Hardys are your new tag champs. After the match, Bully Ray comes out and challenges The Hardys to defend their titles against Team 3D in “one last great tag team match” in October at TNA Bound For Glory.

Match Result: The Hardys defeated The Nemeths, The Rascalz & First Class to become new TNA Tag-Team Champions

TNA World Championship
Trick Williams (c) vs. Joe Hendry vs. Mike Santana

It’s main event time!

Once the tag title match and aftermath wraps up, we see TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella come out and announce that Tessa Blanchard is suspended indefinitely following her actions earlier tonight. He then asks the pre-show panel for their main event predictions.

As they are giving them, they are cut off by the entrance tune for Frankie Kazarian. Out comes the self-proclaimed “King of TNA.” He rambles about how good looking he is, and what a dork Dave LeGreca is, before announcing he is going to do special commentary.

Kazarian joins Hannifan and Rehwoldt on the call for our high stakes three-way main event. As he does, Santino directs the crowds attention to the big screen where the pre-match video package airs to explain how we got to this main event title tilt.

Joe Hendry’s theme hits and out he comes as fans sing along with the viral smash hit. He settles on the apron and leads the record-breaking crowd in a giant wave. Mike Santana is shown praying backstage in his gear as someone in the ring draped in Puerto Rican flags begins rapping.

Santana begins his custom Jey Uso, Jon Moxley-style ring entrance through the crowd. The fans in Long Island are very much behind Santana tonight. Live rap, ladies and gentlemen. Does it ever deliver? The guy is now yelling, “When I say San, ya’ll say Tana!”

The entrance had a lot of energy, but felt like an unknown rapper getting a spotlight to do some bad karaoke and crowd interactions. He tries rapping again when he can find out where he is in the song. Ouch. Mercifully, this ‘performance’ appears to be over.

After whatever that was, we shoot to the stage where a choir dressed in all black begin church-style singing, “Whoop that Trick!” They mix in some melody and range. Now this is music! Some girls melodize it while bass-voiced guys say “Boom, boom, boom!” in-tune to the Trick-chants.

This eventually merges into the usual Trick Williams theme, which they continue doing their choir-style singing over. The reigning, defending TNA World Champion emerges in a big, fancy robe. He heads to the ring and poses on the ropes as the choir finishes up.

After the final pre-match introductions from the ring announcer, the main event of the evening finally gets underway. It’s definitely a Mike Santana-pro crowd in “The Empire State” this evening. Hendry and Santana get Williams out of the picture early on.

With Williams on the floor recovering, Hendry and Santana duke it out in the ring. Santana looks for Spin the Block, but doesn’t get it. Trick nails him from behind after re-entering the ring. After some more action, Kazarian gets involved, leading to him being ejected.

Trick gets nailed out to the floor, where Santana hits a big dive. Back in the ring, Hendry and Santana duke it out by themselves. Hendry connects with Standing Ovation and goes for the cover. Santana somehow kicks out. Fans chant “San-tan-a!”

Santana gets up to his knees and waves in Hendry to bring on more punishment. They trade shots back-and-forth as Santana gets back to his feet. Santana levels Hendry with Spin the Block. He hits another one and goes for the cover, but Trick steals the pin and gets the win to retain.

Match Result: Trick Williams defeated Mike Santana and Joe Hendry to retain the TNA World Championship

TNA Impact live results: Slammiversary go-home show

The main event will see TNA World Champion Trick Williams team with Frankie Kazarian against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana. Williams defends against Hendry and Santana Sunday.

NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne will be on hand before defending the title against Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich in a title vs. title match.

The mysterious Hometown Man will battle Judas Icarus while Tessa Blanchard faces Dani Luna.

Matt Cardona will be in action while a trios match between Order 4 (Mustafa Ali and The Good Hands) and The System’s Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers and JDC rounds out the show.

**********

Moose (w/Alisha Edwards) vs. Sami Callihan

The usual recap package airs showing highlights from last week’s show, and then the signature opening video and accompanying “Cross the Line” theme song plays. Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us to the final TNA Impact on the road to TNA Slammiversary.

We hear the familiar sounds of Moose’s theme music, as The System member and reigning TNA X-Division Champion makes his way to the ring accompanied by Alisha Edwards. Sami Callihan’s death metal is heard next, as the TNA veteran makes his way out.

After the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running in the opening match of the evening, Moose takes the early offensive lead. Callihan gets in some offense for a minute or two after things spill out to the floor, however back in the ring, Moose hits a spear for the quick victory.

Once the match wraps up, we hear the single most annoying voice in the world saying the single most nails-on-a-chalkboard catchphrase. “Do you wanna know something,” asks Alisha Edwards, before handing the microphone off to Moose.

The TNA X-Division Champion talks about Leon Slater and their title tilt at TNA Slammiversary, and how Slater aims to make history by becoming the youngest TNA X-Division Champion of all-time. Moose says not only will that not happen, but Moose will win and go on to break his own record.

The record for the longest-reigning TNA Knockouts Champion of all-time. He sees Sami Callihan recovering and slowly getting back up, prompting him to ask Callihan what he’s still doing here. He says he used to be a “Death Machine,” but now he’s just a fat piece of trash.

He calls Callihan a “fat turd,” and orders him to take his boots off and leave them, and then get “his fat ass out of my ring.” Alisha starts yelling at him to do it. He begins unlacing them, but stops and rolls out of the ring.

Match Result: Moose defeated Sami Callihan

The System (JDC, Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers) vs. Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, Jason Hotch & John Skyler)

Moose says now that the fat turd has left his ring, it’s time to introduce the greatest faction in all of wrestling — The System. With that said, The System theme song hits and out comes JDC, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers.

They punk Callihan as he heads to the back and they head to the ring. The show heads to a commercial break, with The System vs. Order 4 coming up next. When the show returns, the theme for Mustafa Ali hits and out he comes.

Accompanying Ali are the rest of the Order 4 faction — The Great Hands duo of John Skyler and Jason Hotch, as well as Tasha Steelz. As they are heading to the ring, the strobe light hits and we hear the familiar music of WWE NXT faction Darkstate.

Darkstate hits the ring and attacks The System members in revenge from this past Tuesday night’s post-WWE NXT: The Great American Bash episode of WWE NXT on The CW Network. They beat down The System and leave, as Ali smiles and heads to the back with Order 4.

Match Result: No Contest

Gia Miller Interviews Dani Luna

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with Dani Luna. She asks her about her foray into singles competition in the TNA Knockouts division. She says she knows who she is and she feels she has everything needed to rule the Knockouts division.

She says Tessa Blanchard is simply someone in her way. The former Spitfire member walks off as the show heads into another commercial break. Luna vs. Blanchard will be in one-on-one action when the show returns.

Tessa Blanchard (w/Victoria Crawford) vs. Dani Luna

When the show returns, the lights in the Impact Zone go down. We hear the familiar sounds of the catchy-ass entrance tune for Tessa Blanchard. Blanchard makes her way to the ring accompanied by Victoria Crawford, as Hannifan plugs Blanchard vs. Indi Hartwell at TNA Slammiversary.

Her music dies down and the theme music for Dani Luna hits. Out comes the former green-haired member of Spitfire to continue her journey as a singles star in the expanding TNA Knockouts division. The bell sounds to get things started.

Early on, Luna snatches up a side headlock on Blanchard and takes her to the mat. Blanchard begins taking over on offense after Luna takes a bad bump on the back of her head. From there, Blanchard enjoys the next several minutes in the offensive lead.

Things remain this way until Luna hits a counter late in the match, effectively connecting with a slingshot Blue Thunder Bomb for a two-count. Luna looks for a Luna-Landing after that, however Crawford hops on the apron and gets involved, leading to Blanchard hitting her finisher for the pin.

Following the victory, Blanchard is joined by Crawford in the ring. The two begin a post-match attack of Luna. This continues until Indi Hartwell’s theme hits and she runs them off. Hartwell gets on the microphone.

Hartwell mentions Tessa has turned her back on every friend she’s ever had. She says, “You haven’t known me for six years, but at Slammiversary, you’re gonna get to know me …b*tch!” That’s how the quick post-match scene wraps up.

Match Result: Tessa Blanchard defeated Dani Luna

The IInspiration Address The Elegance Brand

Footage is shown from three weeks ago of The Elegance Brand making a scene at an autograph signing that The IInspiration were having, leading to a massive pull-apart brawl. After it wraps up, The IInspiration are shown backstage.

They say the difference between them and The Elegance Brand is they don’t have all of the same insecurities as them. They vow to beat them to become the new TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions at this Sunday’s TNA Slammiversary pay-per-view. The show heads to another break.

The Elegance Brand Confronted By Fatal Influence

When the show returns, The Elegance Brand make their way out. Ash By Elegance, Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance and George Iceman settle inside the squared circle. Ash gets on the microphone and rants about the money fans cost her by submitting footage of her autograph signing brawl.

Ash then goes on to complain about being one-half of the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions and the No. 1 Contender to the TNA Knockouts Championship, yet all she hears about is Jacy Jane and Masha Slamovich. She calls The Elegance Brand the most dominant female faction in pro wrestling.

As soon as she says that, the theme for WWE NXT female faction Fatal Influence hits. Out comes NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jane, accompanied by Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx. Jane says she was fine with everything Ash said until she claimed to have the most dominant female faction.

Masha Slamovich Confronts Jacy Jane Ahead Of TNA Slammiversary

As Jane and Ash continue to air out their issues, they are interrupted by the familiar sounds of the theme music for TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich. As she makes her way out, Ash gets on the mic again and says this drama has nothing to do with her.

Because of that fact, she’s not interested in it. With that said, The Elegance Brand head to the back, with Ash getting punked out by Slamovich as the Knockouts Champion makes her way into the ring. She gets in Jane’s face.

Slamovich tells her she thinks the idea of a champion is perfection. She looks in the mirror and wants to see perfection, whereas Slamovich looks in the mirror and sees the scars that made her the champion she is today.

She wears them proudly. She will be damned if she’s going into her hometown of Chicago this Sunday and letting an outsider take her title from her. The two finish the segment posing face-to-face with their respective titles held high in the air.

Jody Threat Checks On Dani Luna

Backstage, we see Dani Luna being checked on in the doctor’s room, as Indi Hartwell is by her side. In comes Luna’s former Spitfire tag-team partner, Jody Threat, acting on old familiar instincts. In panic-fashion, Threat asks Luna what’s wrong and if she’s okay. We head to another break.

Judas Icarus (w/Travis Williams & Eric Young) vs. Hometown Man

The show returns to footage of Joe Hendry and Mike Santana from their recent WWE NXT appearances. We then see a vignette showing Mike Santana working out as audio of an old voicemail his late father sent him years ago.

Back inside the Impact Zone, the theme for The Northern Armory hits. Out comes Judas Icarus for scheduled singles action. He heads to the ring accompanied by his tag-team partner Travis Williams, and Northern Armory leader Eric Young.

The theme for his opponent plays to bring out the “mysterious” Hometown Man. The crowd loves the Hometown Man, as they should, as he is there hometown man. The bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running.

The Hometown Man fares well straight out of the gate, however after some interference and distractions from Williams at ringside, Icarus begins to shift the offensive momentum into his favor. Williams tries taking Hometown Man’s mask off during interference moments later.

After another minute or so, Hometown Man takes over on offense again. He hits a big high spot from the ring to the floor on Icarus. Back inside the ring, Hometown Man finishes things off with a pinfall. After the match, he avoids an attempted attack by Williams and Young.

Match Result: Hometown Man defeated Judas Icarus

nZo Is Coming To TNA Slammiversary …And He’s Not Coming Alone

After the Hometown Man and Judas Icarus bout wraps up, we cut to the second black-and-white “Paid For By Fourth Rope” nWo-style nZo vignette. nZo sings ‘Muffin Man’ and says if he wanted in with TNA Wrestling, he’d go to the boss man.

He says the only boss man named Tony he knows is Tony Soprano. nZo says either way he’s showing up to TNA Slammiversary. He says he’s not coming alone. He’ll bring a crew, starting with Zilla Fatu. He knows Bishop as well.

The security are more likely to help him if he jumps a guard rail. He says he ain’t afraid to tap somebody out. The show heads to another commercial break. Matt Cardona will be in action in the next match of the evening when the show returns.

Steve Maclin Issues Open Challenge

Steve Maclin is shown backstage with a special message when the show returns. He talks about being the reigning TNA International Champion and how he wants to live up to the name.

“Bulletproof” Maclin makes it clear that he “is willing to face anyone from any company internationally” and represent TNA in a title defense.

The System Help Matt Cardona With Darkstate

Matt Cardona’s theme hits as the show returns inside the Impact Zone. “Alwayz Ready” makes his way out and settles inside the squared circle. He brings up being attacked by Darkstate last week. He says he knows they’re in the building.

Cardona challenges them to come out. He says he’ll prove how he lives up to the “Alwayz Ready” moniker. Instead, the bell sounds and Cardona gets ready for scheduled singles action. Already in the ring is his opponent, Jake Painter.

As soon as they get close and get ready to start the match, the lights in the Impact Zone go out. Darkstate arrives for the second time tonight to ruin advertised action. This time, however, Brian Myers runs out to help his longtime friend Cardona.

The numbers disadvantage becomes too much, however other System members come out with weapons and run off the dominant NXT faction. The two teams end up in a standoff, with Cardona and The System standing in the ring staring them down. The show heads to another commercial break.

The Hardys: Win At TNA Slammiversary Or Go Home For Good?

The show returns to the iconic sounds of The Hardys. Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy make their way out and settle inside the squared circle. Matt gets on the microphone and talks about how they promised themselves a long time ago that they would leave when they weren’t able to be the best.

Hardy says if he’s being honest with himself, he feels they might be slipping as of late. Jeff Hardy says Matt is right, bringing up how he lost recently to AJ Francis. Matt sarcastically thanks him for reminding him of that.

Matt Hardy says with that in mind, maybe if they don’t win in the four-way ladder match for the TNA World Tag-Team Championships at TNA Slammiversary this Sunday, they should hang ’em up and go home for good.

Fans chant “You still got it!” at The Hardys. Leon Slater’s theme hits and out he comes. He tells them the last few months with them have been the greatest moments of his career. He says they can’t be done yet. First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro come out.

Francis mocks The Hardys. Matt tells Leon he needs to focus on his goal of becoming the youngest TNA X-Division Champion this Sunday and let them handle their own matters. Francis taunts Slater, telling him to leave. He does. The Nemeths theme hits.

Reigning TNA World Tag-Team Champions Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth come out. They taunt The Hardys as well. Fans break out in an anti-Nemeth chant, to which even Francis chimes in and says he agrees. The Rascalz finally come out and all four teams brawl with ladders. The show heads to another break.

Trick Williams & Frankie Kazarian vs. Joe Hendry & Mike Santana

It’s main event time!

When the show returns, the theme for Frankie Kazarian hits and the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” makes his way out and heads to the ring for the final match of the show. His partner, WWE NXT Superstar and current TNA World Champion Trick Williams comes out next.

The viral smash hit, “I Believe in Joe Hendry” hits next, and the crowd erupts and begins singing along as Joe Hendry makes his way out as the first of their opponents. His partner, Mike Santana, makes his custom entrance through the crowd next.

As soon as the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running in this tag-team headliner and preview of TNA Slammiversary 2025, we see Hendry and Santana having trouble deciding which of them will start things off for their team.

As the two try and decide, TNA World Champion Trick Williams decides for them, as he charges across the ring and begins a sneak attack, taking it to Hendry. The show heads into a quick mid-match commercial break as things continue.

The show returns to Santana in the ring now on the defensive, as Kazarian and Williams utilize frequent tags to keep a fresh man on Santana at all times, and keep him as far away from his corner of the ring as possible.

Santana eventually fights back and buys himself enough time to make the much-needed tag. Hendry comes in off the hot tag and immediately shifts the offensive momentum in the match, taking it to Kazarian.

Hendry hits Kazarian with a big Fall-Away Slam. Williams hits the ring and Hendry hoists the big man up as well and does the same. He gets close to his corner as he nears the finish, only to stop and pose right in Santana’s face.

Santana tags himself in. Hendry didn’t like that. Santana hits a Rolling Buck-50 and Spin the Block and picks up the win for his team. Afterwards, Hendry and Santana argue. As they do, Trick Williams enters the picture and raises the TNA World Championship.

AJ Styles Coming To TNA Slammiversary?

It appears the show is coming to a close, with Tom Hannifan wrapping things up on commentary with the last image seemingly being TNA World Champion Trick Williams posing with the title in the ring next to his challengers, Joe Hendry and Mike Santana.

But then it happened.

Just before the show came to a close, a brief vignette played. In a dark looking boiler-room type of area, a special TNA box is shown. In Pulp Fiction glowing-briefcase fashion, the box opens and light shines out of it as footage of AJ Styles is shown.

The camera zooms inside the box, showing AJ Styles “Phenomenal’ ring gear. The logo for TNA Slammiversary flashes on the screen. That is how the TNA Slammiversary “go-home” episode of TNA Impact goes off the air.

Blake Monroe turns against Jordynne Grace at WWE Evolution

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Blake Monroe has cost Jordynne Grace the NXT Women’s Championship.

The end of the match at Sunday’s PLE had Jacy Jayne’s stablemates introduce the Women’s Championship into the match. Blake Monroe managed to take out Fallon Henley then Jazmyn Nyx. Henley recovered and distracted the referee on the apron as Jayne whipped Grace into the ropes. That was where Monroe struck Grace in the back with the title, allowing Jayne to connect with a punch for the win.

After the match, Monroe handed the title to Jayne and smirked at Fatal Influence as she made her exit.

Grace reacted to the turn on X, clearly unhappy.

Since making her debut last month, the former Mariah May had been feuding with Fatal Influence, who attacked Monroe during her contract signing. At Saturday’s The Great American Bash, she and Grace teamed up to defeat Jayne and Henley. In the build to their match, Grace & Monroe developed a friendship, enjoying a spa day together.

In a segment that aired during the Evolution pre-show, Monroe agreed to be in Grace’s corner for her title match.

Our coverage begins at 3 PM Eastern.

**********

It’s great! It’s American (mostly)! And someone is sure to get bashed. It’s NXT’s Great American Bash and it starts…

Wait for it…

NOW!

Je’Von Evans vs. Jasper Troy

Noted chains enthusiast, Troy, won LFG Season One and almost dethroned Oba Femi and captured his NXT Title. Evans doesn’t like that Troy is causing chaos in his structured little NXT and is looking to end the threat once and for all. 

Troy was pretty much a whole human bigger than Evans, so it wasn’t a shot that off the top, Try began ragdolling him around the ring. Evans was also wrestling with taped ribs, so he wasn’t at 100%. That didn’t stop him from slapping Troy in the face.

Evans’ agility was his greatest weapon against Troy, as he dodges a ringpost and hit a springboard at the big man. Unfortunately, Troy caught him mid air and threw him at the ground. Hard. Both men ended up on the outside, where Troy drove Evans’ back into the ring apron (the hardest part of the ring, and the earliest I’ve ever used that joke).

Troy grabbed Evans by the throat and threw him over the top rope. He then picked him up by said throat and thew him at the barricades. Back in the ring, Troy hit a splash off the ropes on a barely moving Evans. He hit another one for good measure and then put on a devastating chinlock. Yes, even a chinlock from Troy looks devastating.

Evans tried again to go high flying, but once again, Troy caught him and wracked him through a series of backbreakers. The ref checked on Evans, but as soon as he was able, Troy mercilessly attacked him again. Troy locked in an abdominal stretch and topped it off with some elbows to the gut.

Evans found a second wind though and started peppering Troy with shots. That dazed the big man and he fell to one knee. Evans tried to go up top, but his body failed him and the couldn’t make it. Troy did though, and hit a big headbutt from the second rope.

Evans started throwing hands and sent Troy to the corner. He hit s superkick and then tried a German Suplex, but couldn’t get the bigger man over. Evans tried a springboard cutter, but it didn’t land. He went up top but Troy threw him back into the ring. Troy charged, but his momentum took him over the ropes when Evans dodged. Evans dove through the ropes and hit Troy.

Back in the ring, Evans finally got that German Suplex on Troy and punctuated it with a Frog Splash. It only got him a two count. He tried again, but Troy caught him for a choke slam. Troy set him up for abig slam, but Evans wormed his way underneath and rolled up Troy for a quick pin!

Match Result: Je’Von Evans defeated Jasper Troy

Good gracious! Troy is absolutely terrifying. Evans did an amazing job of making him look like the monster he is. I loved Evans’ “never say die” attitude, even when Troy was essentaily killing him. Lopsided matches like this almost always turn into squashes, but these guys told a great story with a fun finish. Excellent kickoff to the Bash!

-The current holder of the Heritage Cup, “Stacks” Lorenzo joined us next to reveal a list of all the people he’d give a shot at the cup to, including Fat Lexis King, Randy Orton’s Kids, Koko B. Ware and Matt Bloom (A-Train). He then spoke to Bloom in the Performance Center, who advised him to keep his head on a swivel. After that, it was revealed that someone had stolen the Cup!

-Next, Sol Ruca and Zaria joined i for an interview. They said all the things the wrestlers say, but what was interesting was the brief interruption of the feed to a skull-faced stranger. It only happened for a second, and Ruca and Zaria did not acknowledge it.

NXT Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca w Zaria vs. Izzi Dame w/Tatum Paxley

This match is all about friendship. Women’s North American and WWE Speed Champion Ruca wanted to be friends with Tatum Paxley, but Paxley decided that she’d rather be friends with The Culling, helping Dame pin Ruca in a tag match, Now Ruca and Dame will go one on one for the Women’s North American Championship, but it’s their friends on the outside who could make the biggest difference. 

Right off the bell, Paxley and Zaria got into it, distracting the ref. That allowed Dame to hit a quick powerbomb and pin Ruca. By the time the ref noticed though, Ruca’s foot was on the ropes.

The match began in earnest with Ruca hitting a missile dropkick on Dame, sending her to the outside. She followed with a splash and threw Dame back into the ring for a two count. Ruca had control, but got caught by Dame who hit a bellybuster, leaving Ruca writhing.

Dame sent Ruca off the ropes for a knee to the gut and backbreaker. Ruca tried to fight back, but Dame dropped her and set her up for a knee to the back and crab submission. Ruca powered out and got some momentum, but Dame hit a big boot the face and tried a quick pin for two.

The crowd was solidly behind Ruca, who started throwing elbows at Dame. Ruca hit a backstabber and Dame rolled out of the ring. Ruca followed via moonsault, but it was hard to tell who got more hurt in the move.

Back in the ring, Ruca hit a springboard clothesline off the top rope and set Dame up on the ringpost. Dame shoved her off and hit a missile dropkick, knocking Ruca onto her back. The two stood and traded shots in the middle of the ring.

Ruca set Dame up on the ringpost and hit an X-Factor from the top rope. She tried it again, but Dame caught her by the throat and hit a big chokeslam in the middle of the ring. Dame climbed up and tried a splash from the second rope but Ruca met her with a kick instead.

Ruca fired up and hit a huge spear, but Dame got her foot on the rope during the pin. By that I mean, Paxley put it there. Zaria speared Paxley on the outside and Ruca hit a big cutter in the ring to get the 1-2-3 and retain her Women’s North American Title.

Match Result: Sol Ruca defeated Izzi Dame

That was a fun match. It lacked a little of the intensity of the first bout, but the crowd was way into it and that made it a ton of fun to watch.

-Next, a promo for Lola Vice played, touting her victory in AAA last night. From there, Jordynne Grace and Blake Monroe were shown warming up for their match, before a hype package for Saints vs Page aired.

Falls Count Anywhere Match: NXT North American Champion Ethan Page vs. Ricky Saints

The latest chapter in this long-running feud is sure to be brutal. Page took the NXT North American Championship from Saints in May and then injured him, putting him out of action for months. Now that Saints is back, revenge is on his mind as well as reclaiming the NXT North American title. 

Saint’s jumped Page as the bell rang, sending him to the outside right away. He grabbed a Kendo stick from under the ring and peppered Page with shots to the back. Page grabbed a trash can lid and hit Saints, following him up into the crowd.

They battled in the aisles and the crowd chanted for Saints. Saints sent Page into the concession area where he hit him with a garbage can. Page responded by driving Saints into a pillar and locking in a boston crab. Page went for an Ego’s Edge, but Saints wriggled out and sent him face first into that pillar.

PAge charged and Saints caught him and put him through a WWE Merch table. Saints went for the cover, but only got a two. Moving back out into the crowd by the entrance ramp, Page sent Saints into the steel ring steps and grabbed a chair. He hit Saints with it and wrapped it around his neck before sending him into the ringpost.

Page threw a bunch of chairs into the ring, pausing to swing at Saints. Saints dodged though and page hit the barricade. Saints then blasted him with a fire extinguisher and stripped the banner from the steel guardrail, which he then threw on top of Page. Saints grabbed a chair of his own and delivered a shot before tossing it and the barricade into the ring.

Saints stomped Page’s head on the ring apron (the ego-est part of the ring!) and dragged him inside. Saints picked up Page and racked him on the turnbuckle, but Saints fought back and slammed Page’s head into a chair.

Saints then set up two chairs in the middle of the ring, back to back. He then suplexed Page onto the chairs, followed by another suplex onto the barricade in the corner. Somehow, Page kicked out at two.

Saints upped the ante by setting up four chairs, front to front. Page followed him up the to the top rope where they fought until he was able to Powerbomb Page onto the chairs!

Page bailed trying to escape to the back, but Saints followed, and the two battled in the green room, using a couch, a flip-flop and a sewing machine. Suddenly, Jasper Troy appeared and slammed Saints onto a road case!

Page dragged Saints back to the ring and belted him with a chair. Saints punched back and back body dropped Page onto the entrance ramp. From there, Saints hit a tornado DDT and got a two count. The two fought along the LED board, and Page hit an Ego’s Edge on Saints, throwing him off the ramp and through two tables!

Page scurried down and got the pin, winning the match and retaining his North American Title!

Match Result: Ethan Page defeated Ricky Saints

That was a killer match with all the best things that a Falls Count Anywhere stipulation can bring. Weapons, huge spots and a flip-flop. It’ll be interesting to see if Jasper Troy had a reason for interfering, or if he was just annoyed that the match interrupted his feeding time, which I assume is mostly raw meat.

-Next, it was announced that the next NXT PLE will be Heatwave, on Sunday August 24th.

TNA World Championship Contract Signing

Of all the wrestling tropes out there, my least favorite is the dreaded “Contract Signing.” These segments are rarely different from one another, “Promo, promo, signed paper, overturned table, brawl, signed paper, fight.” But I guess legally speaking, papers have to be signed, so let’s get on with it. 

Trick Williams will defend the TNA World Title at Slammiversary against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana in a Triple Threat Match. The Hendry and Santana want the title back in TNA, and will sign any papers they have to in order to get that done.

NXT GM Ava started the proceedings by introducing the participants, starting with Santana. Hendry followed to a great ovation and then Trick Williams came down with the TNA Title. Booker T called Hendry the “Brett Farve of wrestling” which tells me that Booker does not pay attention to football (or fraud cases).

Santana grabbed a mic and talked about how being in a WWE ring as a TNA wrestler means something to him, but the TNA title belongs in TNA. He called Williams soft and talked about respecting Hendry, but at the end of the day, Hendry is standing in Santana’s way. He then signed the contract.

Hendry spoke next, saying that he respects Santana as well, but Hendry is the one who should being the TNA title back and take TNA to the next level. He turned to Williams and warned him that he will make him believe in Joe Hendry. He then signed the contract.

Williams then said he didn’t want to ruin the moment for Hendry and Santana, but they need to put some respect on his name. Williams said that he’s the one with the stroke around NXT and TNA (I’m pretty sure no one but wrestlers use “stroke” like that).

Williams said that he doesn’t need help to defend the title and would kick both of their butts. He then signed the contract.

Wait, what’s this!? Hendry and Santana pushed their chairs back and jumped Williams, putting him through the table! What a shocking and unexpected outcome!!

-Any way, a promo for Saturday Night’s Main Event played next, but was interrupted by that masked faction, DarkState, who entered the ring and beat up Hendry and Santana who were still in the ring for some reason!

-Next a promo from Tony d’Angelo aired, revealing that he was the one who stole the Heritage Cup from Stacks! He tossed it off of a bridge and promised to win their “final” battle on Tuesday.

NXT Champion Oba Femi vs. Yoshiki Inamura w/Josh Briggs

The NXT Title could be headed to Japan! Inamura has made his bones in Pro Wrestling Noah and If he’s able to defeat Femi here, he would become the first non-WWE person to win the NXT Championship. Femi however has dominated NXT since he debuted and his winning of the NXT Championship was pretty much only a matter of time. Inamura will have his work cut out for him. 

The crowd was chanting OBA before the match even started, but once the bell rang it was clear that these two were pretty evenly matched in size and power. They locked up and Femi got the advantage with a shoulder block. Inamura moved on to a wrist lock, but Femi overpowered it. The two remained locked in a test of strength that Femi eventually won.

Femi picked Inamura up for a suplex which just energized Inamura. He charged Femi and drove him to the mat with a shoulder, followed by a big elbow. Inamura went to the top rope, but Femi rolled out of the ring, drawing Inamura down for Femi to hoist him on his shoulders.

Inamura broke free though, and dove on Femi on the outside. Back in the ring, he picked up Femi for a spinning slam. Femi responded with a slam of his own, but neither man could get more than a two count.

Femi began to take charge, tossing Inamura around the ring. He put Inamura in a back stretch over his knee, but Inamura was able to power out and counter the hold into a body slam. Femi hit a spinebuster in response. Working the body, Femi tried to get Imanura up for a suplex, but Inamura blocked it and delivered on of his own to Femi.

Inamura started delivering chops to Femi, utilizing his strong style strikes. Inamura hit another German Suplex on Femi, but only a two count. Inamura went to the top rope, but Femi dodged his dive, sending him into the ref in the corner. That allowed Briggs to hit Femi with the NXT title.

Inamura went up top, but Briggs tried to get him to make a pin. IN the confusion, Femi staggered to his feet and Inamura hit a big splash from the top rope. However, the ref was still down, so there was noone to count the pin.

Briggs tried to put the ref back in, which allowed Femi to recover and hit a choke slam. The pin was only for two though as Inamura kicked out. The big men went back to striking and punches and chops flew everywhere.

Inamura hit a modified Blue Thunder Bomb, but that only got him a modified two count. Briggs got up on the apron, but Femi wasn’t distracted and hit a pop up powerbomb to get the 1-2-3 and retain the NXT Title.

Match Result: Oba Femi defeated Yoshiki Inamura

That was a lot of big men slapping the meat! I love these slobberknockers as a certain Oklahoman used to say and Imanura kept up with the dominant Femi the whole way. I could have done without the Briggs interference, but it was still a fun title match.

-Backstage, Trick Williams asked GM Ava to do something about him getting jumped by Hendry and Santana. Ava said that DarkState got his revenge and then made the match Williams, Hendry and Santana vs DarkState on Tuesday.

-Oba Femi was interviewed in the back and he was joined be Inamura. They exchanged respect and Inamura apologized for Briggs’ interference. Briggs arrived and a pull apart broke out.

Jordynne Grace & Blake Monroe vs. Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne and Fallon Henley) w/ Jazmyn Nyx

Monroe’s arrival in NXT threw the women’s division into chaos and resulted in Fatal Influence putting her through a table. Grace is the number one contender for Jayne’s NXT Women’s Title, and just hours before Evolution, Fatal Influence will be looking to make an impact on the division and the faces of Grace and Monroe. 

Grace and Henley kicked things off, with Grace having the obvious strength advantage. She sent Henley into the corner and after some shots hit a big spinning slam. Henley tagged in Jayne and the two traded schoolboy attempts.

Grace then tagged in Monroe in her first ever WWE/NXT match. She and Jayne locked up and traded armbreakers. Monroe dodged a senton from Jayne who rolled over and tagged Henley back in. Monroe sent her to the corner and Grace tagged in. Using Monroe as a weapon, Grace scooped her up and dropped her on Henley.

Now isolated, Henley struggled against Monroe and Grace in the corner. Monroe, the legal woman, hit a spinning slam in the middle of the ring followed by a rollup. Jayne distracted the ref and Nyx jumped in to break up the pin and give a shot to Monroe.

Now Monroe found herself isolated as Jayne and Henley tagged in and out, working her over. Monroe dodged a double team though and got a hot tag to Grace who cleaned house until Jayne got a foot in her stomach. Henley arrived for a double team, but Grace shrugged them both off, sending them to the outside.

Jayne lured Grace to the outside and delivered a huge kick as Grace rounded a corner. Tossing her back into the ring, Henley and Jayne suplexed Grace, but it only resulted in a two count. Jayne pounced on a dazed Grace and hit a big elbow and a kick square to the face.

Henley rejoined the fray and hit Grace with a back elbow off the ropes. Jayne and Henley tagged in and out, delivering shots and kicks to Grace in the corner, targeting the arms. Grace fought back, overpowering Henley into a Death Valley Driver. A hot tag was made to Monroe to took out Henley and Jayne.

Jayne tried to go up top, but Monroe got her with a head scissors and brought her back down to earth. Monroe fought Jayne on the ring apron (the most glamourous part of the ring!) and tried a power bomb, but Nyx stopped her and Jayne dragged Monroe back into ring.

Henley tagged in and hit a blockbuster on Monroe for a two-count. Monroe delivered a big headbutt to Henley and fell back into a tag from Grace. Grace worked Henley over, tossing her onto the entrance ramp. They traded shots until Henley speared Grace through the ropes back into the ring.

Jayne and Monroe tagged in and traded stiff shots. Jayne sent Monroe intot he corner, but Monroe dodged and hit a German Suplex on Jayne. Monroe went to the top rope, but Nyx managed to push her off. Suddenly Masha Slammovich appeared and took out Nyx!

All four women brawled in the ring, the Ref unable to keep control. Henley sent Grace to the outside and in the ring, Monroe at a high kick from Jayne. Grace popped up and hit a back fist on Jayne, knocking her cold and allowing Monroe to get the pin!

Match Result: Jordynne Grace & Blake Monroe defeated Fatal Influence

A fun match that was worthy of being the Main Event. Loved the Slammovich cameo and thought that all involved worked really well together! Evolution should be great tomorrow, but before that, it’s Saturday Night’s Main Event!

TNA Impact live results: The Hardys in action, Cedric Alexander’s in-ring debut

Posted on by Matt Boone

With more than a week to go before TNA Slammiversary, tensions are high leading into tonight’s edition of TNA Impact.

Former TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardys and The Rascalz will unite against current champions The Nemeth Brothers and First Class with TNA World Champion Trick Williams on commentary.

Former champion Joe Hendry will also be on the show to share some thoughts.

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich will team with Lei Ying Lee against NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jane and Fallon Henley.

Cedric Alexander makes his TNA in-ring debut, teaming with The Good Hands against Mustafa Ali’s “Secret Service.”

The TNA International Championship will be on the line as Steve Maclin defends against Jake Something and Mance Warner in a three-way.

In a non-title match, Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Elegance Brand faces newcomers Myla Grace and Hayley Hudson while Indi Hartwell vs. Victoria Crawford rounds out the show.

**********

The “Cross the Line” theme and accompanying intro video airs to get things started after the usual recap package showing key moments from last week’s show.

The Elegance Brand (Ash & Heather By Elegance) vs. Harley Hudson & Myla Grace

Inside the Impact Zone, we see George Iceman already standing in the ring with a microphone in his hand, as Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome the viewing audience at home. The personal concierge for The Elegance Brand then introduces Ash & Heather by Elegance.

The reigning TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions make their way out accompanied by M by Elegance with “terrible towels” to rile up the Pittsburgh crowd. Iceman also made a callback to Bret Hart’s “stick the hose in Pittsburgh” line in an enema insult to “The Steel City” fans.

After the tag champs settle inside the squared circle for scheduled opening action, the theme for their opponents hits to bring out newcomers Harley Hudson and Myla Grace. As they head to the ring, a split-screen “earlier today” promo from the new Knockouts duo airs.

The bell sounds and it is Heather by Elegance and Myla Grace who kick things off for their respective teams. The reigning champs jump off into an early offensive lead. It isn’t long, however, until Grace and Hudson take over.

Following a decent run of offense for the newcomers, outside interference and distractions from George Iceman and M by Elegance lead to Ash by Elegance hitting Rarified Air off the ropes for the pinfall victory. M by Elegance stopped an attempted save during the pin.

Match Result: The Elegance Brand defeated Harley Hudson & Myla Grace

Backstage With The Hardys & The Rascalz

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with The Hardys and The Rascalz. They talk about their match later tonight and their respective goals of capturing the TNA World Tag-Team Championships. After they talk about TNA Slammiversary, the segment wraps up and the show heads into a break.

“Prime” Cedric Alexander & The Good Hands (John Skyler & Jason Hotch) vs. Mustafa Ali’s Secret Service Detail

The show returns from break to the entrance of “Prime” Cedric Alexander, who comes out to the ring accompanied by his tag-team partners for scheduled six-man tag-team action, The Good Hands team of John Skyler and Jason Hotch, as well as Tasha Steelz.

Mustafa Ali comes out next in a suit, only to turn right back around and head to the back, not even wanting to look at his former members on the other side of the ring from his Secret Servicemen. The bell sounds and Alexander goes to work on the opposition.

After some dominant offensive action from Alexander, Skyler and Hotch, things build to the finish, which sees the team pick up the win, only for Steelz to shockingly attack Alexander from behind, setting an equally shocked Mustafa Ali up to blast him with a chair shot.

Match Result: “Prime” Cedric Alexander & The Good Hands defeated Mustafa Ali’s Secret Servicemen

Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich (w/ Xia Brookside) vs. Jacy Jane & Fallon Henley (w/ Jazmyn Nyx)

The show heads to another commercial break after the previous six-man tag-team bout. When the show returns, Xia Brookside’s theme hits. She makes her way out and stops at the top of the stage. Lei Ying Lee comes out next and stops.

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich makes her way out next. Slamovich heads to the ring with her partner for this tag bout, Lei Ying Lee, as Brookside accompanies them. They settle inside the squared circle and then WWE NXT trio Fatal Influence comes out.

NXT Women’s World Champion Jacy Jane comes out with Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx. They settle in the ring and pose together. It will be Jane and Henley teaming up to take on Slamovich and Lee. The bell sounds and things get started.

Jane and Lee kick things off for their respective teams. Lee lands a big kick, but Jane quickly takes over and brings her into the Fatal Influence side of the ring. She tags out, and in comes Henley picking up where she left off, taking it to Lee.

The show heads into a mid-match commercial break with Jane and Henley in a comfortable offensive lead, dominating Lee and stopping her from having any chance of tagging in the fresh Slamovich. When the show returns, the Fatal Influence duo are still winning with ease.

Eventually, Slamovich gets the much-needed tag from Lee, and this changed the entire tone of the match. The TNA Knockouts Champion went on an offensive rampage, taking out Jane and Henley before finishing the Fatal Influence duo off with a Snow Plow for the win.

Match Result: Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich defeated Jacy Jane & Fallon Henley

TNA International Championship
Steve Maclin (c) vs. Jake Something vs. Mance Warner

A brief TNA Injury Report airs, with Tom Hannifan running down updates on injured TNA talents. It is noted that Myron Reed will fill in for The Rascalz in their eight-man tag-team match alongside The Hardys against First Class and The Nemeths tonight.

From there, the show heads into another commercial break. When the show returns, Leon Slater runs into Moose and The System backstage. He promises Moose he’s gonna bring him the toughest fight he’s ever had, and vows to become the youngest X-Division Champion ever at Slammiversary.

Inside the Impact Zone, the theme for Mance Warner hits and out comes the wild man accompanied by Steph De Lander. Out next is Jake Something, who immediately brawls with Warner before the match even begins.

The reigning TNA International Champion Steve Maclin makes his way out last, and joins in on the fun already in progress. The bel sounds to officially get the title tilt off-and-running. After some early action, we see a big powerbomb spot onto two unfolded steel chairs.

As the action continues, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, things build to a big stacked spot off the ropes in the corner. Moments later, things culminate with Maclin hitting the K.I.A. for the win to retain.

Match Result: Steve Maclin defeated Mance Warner & Jake Something to retain the TNA International Championship

Tasha Steelz Reveals Plan To Order 4

In the parking lot, Mustafa Ali chases after Tasha Steelz. He asks her what that was earlier tonight. Steelz then goes on to reveal it was a plan she had devised secretly all along. She knew if she called Cedric Alexander he would come running to “save her.”

She says now Ali has a match at TNA Slammiversary against the one guy he’s never been able to beat, his former 205 Live rival and the man everyone says is better than him — “Prime” Cedric Alexander. The Great Hands come up and are confused and angry as well.

She yells at them to pipe down, too, and points out the amount of 0’s on their paychecks compared to the past. She says an organized Order 4 is the most dangerous group in the world. As they go to leave, we hear the annoying voice of Alisha Edwards.

Edwards, accompanied by the rest of The System, does her usual routine, asking “do you wanna know something?” After some verbal back-and-forth between both groups, a match between them is agreed to for next week’s show.

Fourth Rope Is Coming …

In a weird vignette that almost didn’t feel like part of the show, Fourth Rope appears with his custom title in-hand. The former WWE Superstar once known as Enzo Amore starts off with his “…and you can’t teach that” routine from his old days alongside Big Cass.

As he continues to rant and rave in the style that is truly his own, the former Real1 talks about his past shenanigans at Madison Square Garden as a reminder and a warning of what he is capable of when he goes all out. The show heads to another commercial break.

Indi Hartwell vs. Victoria Crawford

The show returns and out comes Victoria Crawford accompanied by Tessa Blanchard. Blanchard joins Hannifan and Rehwoldt on special guest commentary as the former WWE Superstar once known as Alicia Fox settles in the ring.

Crawford will be competing in singles action against another former WWE Superstar, as the theme for Indi Hartwell hits to bring out the former NXT Women’s Champion. The bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running.

Blanchard talks trash about Hartwell the entire time the short bout takes place, with Hartwell winning with ease. After the match, as Hartwell was heading to the back, Blanchard got on the microphone and vowed to beat her at TNA Slammiversary.

Match Result: Indi Hartwell defeated Victoria Crawford

Joe Hendry Sit-Down Interview

After a brief backstage segment where Santino Marella vowed to take action if Eric Young could prove with facts that “The Hometown Man” is really Cody Deaner, the show heads into another commercial break.

When the show returns, the lineup is announced for next week’s TNA Slammiversary 2025 “go-home” episode of TNA Impact (see below). From there, the show cuts to a pre-taped sit-down interview with Tom Hannifan talking to Joe Hendry.

Hendry talks again about how the fans are the reason he became who he is today. He says they were there for him during his ascension. They were there when he stumbled. They’ll be there next weekend when he recaptures the title and brings it home to TNA.

The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) & The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed) vs. The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth) & First Class (AJ Francis & KC Navarro)

It’s main event time!

After the Joe Hendry interview wraps up, the show heads into another commercial break. When the show returns, the familiar sounds of Trick Williams’ theme hits. The WWE NXT Superstar and reigning TNA World Champion makes his way out.

Williams heads down to the ringside area to loud “Whoop that Trick!” chants from the Pittsburgh crowd. Williams settles in on special guest commentary alongside Hannifan and Rehwoldt for the final match of the evening.

With that said, the theme for First Class hits. Out comes AJ Francis and KC Navarro as their new friend, Trick Williams, sings their praises on commentary. Their partners, reigning TNA World Tag-Team Champions The Nemeths come out next.

Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth join Francis and Navarro in the ring, and the four-man team await the arrival of their opposition. The Rascalz theme hits and out comes Zachary Wentz with an original member of the group, Myron Reed.

As noted, Reed is filling in for the injured Trey Miguel in the scheduled eight man tag-team main event on this week’s show. The iconic sounds of The Hardys hits next and out comes Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy. Even Trick seemed to enjoy their entrance until they dissed him.

With all eight men scheduled for the final match of the evening in the ring and ready to rock and roll, the show shifts gears and heads into a quick pre-match commercial break before things get officially off-and-running.

When the show returns, Myron Reed and Nic Nemeth kick things off for their respective teams. Nemeth takes the early offensive lead, stopping to showboat in typical “Wanted Man” fashion. We see some good back-and-forth action from there.

The Hardys finally get their first action in the match, and Hannifan and Rehwoldt point out on commentary how wild it is the way The Hardys have the ability to completely change the mood and feeling in an arena when they enter the ring.

As the action continues in the ring with The Hardys and The Rascalz settling into a comfortable offensive lead, the commentators begin ignoring the action for a bit, as Trick Williams calls out Tom Hannifan for talking bad about him the past few weeks.

When the focus resumes on the match in progress inside the squared circle, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, we see Nic Nemeth in a comfortable offensive lead, taking it to Wentz.

From there, Francis tags in and takes over, keeping the lead for his team until a few minutes later, when Matt Hardy finally tags in. Matt starts taking out any-and-everything that moves. He goes for a cover, but Francis hits the ring to break it up.

Francis gets in some cheap shots on Matt, but The Hardys icon ends up taking over and firing the crowd up as he hits his signature spots on him in sequence. He goes for the cover on Francis, but now Nemeth hits the ring to break it up.

As things continue to unfold with Hardy taking out everyone and those who interference, we hear Trick Williams say on commentary that he can’t take anymore of this. He pops up, attacks Matt on the ropes, lands a belt shot and sets Francis up for the pin and the victory for his team.

Once the match wraps up, things continue to come unglued. Mike Santana’s theme hits out of nowhere and the crowd roars as he makes his way to the ring through the crowd. The numbers disadvantage is too much for him, however, and Joe Hendry comes out to make the save. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air.

Match Result: The Nemeths & First Class defeated The Hardys & The Rascalz

Next Week On TNA Impact (7/17/2025):
* Sami Callihan vs. Moose
* Dani Luna vs. Tessa Blanchard
* The System vs. Order 4
* Joe Hendry & Mike Santana vs. Frankie Kazarian & Trick Williams

Jacy Jayne wins WWE NXT Women’s Championship

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Jacy Jayne has shocked the world.

In the main event of Tuesday’s NXT, Jayne stunned the NXT audience by defeating Stephanie Vaquer to win the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time. The finish had Vaquer drape herself on the ropes, holding on to Jayne’s arm. Fallon Henley interfered and delivered a kick to Vaquer that sent her to the floor while Jasmyn Nyx distracted the referee. Henley threw Vaquer back into the ring where Jayne connected with a discus punch, pinning Vaquer to win the title.

After the match, a stunned Mike Rome took a few seconds to analyze what had just happened before announcing Jayne as the victor. NXT cameras took shots of the stunned crowd in the audience as Fatal Influence celebrated in the ring.

Jayne got a title match after slapping Vaquer backstage during NXT Battleground on Sunday. During an interview that took place earlier on Tuesday, Fatal Influence continued teasing dissention between one another after Henley suggested she should gotten the shot because the last time the two met, Jayne lost. Jayne mentioned that it was Vaquer who defeated Henley to win the North American title earlier in the year.

WWE NXT live results: The fallout from Battleground

Posted on by Chris Aiken

New TNA World Champion Trick Williams is set to appear as the fallout from Battleground takes place on WWE NXT tonight.

Williams made history on Sunday, becoming the first WWE-contracted wrestler to win the TNA World Championship. With help from a well-placed belt shot, he defeated Joe Hendry to become champion. We’ll hear from Williams tonight for the first time since his victory.

Mike Santana has declared that he wants to be the savior of TNA and is coming after Williams’ title. Tonight, Santana makes his WWE debut against Tavion Heights. The match was set up at Battleground in a confrontation between Santana and No Quarter Catch Crew.

A couple of title matches are also part of tonight’s lineup. After successfully defending against Jordynne Grace at Battleground, Stephanie Vaquer already has her next challenger. She’s putting the title on the line against Jacy Jayne after Jayne slapped her in the face on Sunday.

Ricky Saints vs. Ethan Page for the North American Championship is kicking off the episode. The winner will defend the title at Worlds Collide against a yet-to-be-announced opponent.

Plus, WWE LFG winner Jasper Troy will be in action, Tatum Paxley faces Jaida Parker, and more.

Our live coverage starts at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

**********

Opening the show is a title match and horde of security at ringside. NXT North American Champ Ricky Saints enters the sound stage at the Performance Center in Orlando. After him is his challenger, Ethan Page. They brawl before Mike Rowe can finish the ring introductions, and the security team rushes into the ring to break them up.

With a pull-apart brawl ongoing in the ring, Rowe does an abbreviated introduction before the bell sounds to officially start the title bout. The winner defends the title at When World Collide.

Ethan Page defeated NXT North American Champion Ricky Saints to win the title

Page pinned Saints to win the championship in a really good opener. Since neither of these wrestlers had a match on the PLE last weekend, this was essentially their PLE match in they had plenty of time and high drama. They wrestled through a picture-in-picture commercial break.

The fight spilled onto ringside, where Page went to grab a metal folding chair. Members of the security team spots him from using the chair. The horde of security then holds back back Saints and Page from brawling at ringside. Is brawling at ringside suddenly banned?

Out comes NXT General Manager Ava to sort out this mess. Instead, she gives a message to the announce team. Ava then leaves ringside, and the announcers are even more confused than before. The referee does his best Big John McCarthy, and the fight resumes at ringside as security steps aside.

When the show returns from the commercial break, the fighting at ringside continues with Saints and Page brawling over the announce desk. Security breaks them apart and the ref yells at them to get back into the ring. With some separation between them, Page strikes with a Diamond Cutter on the floor. In taking the move, Saints comes crashing down on a folding chair. Saints sells big while clutching his throat, but he manages to crawl back into the ring and take a Razor’s Edge. Saints still somehow kicks out.

Still selling his throat, Saints valiantly fights back as the babyface in peril. Saints gets a near fall on Page, while still selling his throat. The live studio audience begins a “Ricky” chant when Saints eats a boot from Page. The match rolls on and Page counters Saint’s finisher. In doing so, Page maneuvers over to the ropes , where Page snaps Saints injured throat on the top rope. Page follows up with a Diamond Cutter. Page the hooks a leg and covers Saints for a three count. And new…

Referees and officials check on an injured Saints in the ring, while Page poses with the North American title belt on the ramp.

Sarah Schreiber interviews Fatal Influence, and the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Jacy Jayne cuts a promo on Fallon Henley. Jazmyn Nyx looks on behind Jayne.

Mike Santana is the focus of a personality profile introducing him to the NXT audience ahead of his upcoming match.

Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura are back together again, and Briggs returns Inamura’s leather vest to him. Briggs suggest they set their sights on the NXT tag team titles, or Inamura suggest something “even bigger” for them.

Mike Santana defeated Tavion Heights (with No Quarter Catch Crew)

Santana pinned Heights after a roaring lariat. The bout itself goes through a commercial break, and they had a pretty good match. In Height’s corner was Charlie Dempsey, Wren Sinclair and Myles Born, but they played little into the match. Dempsey looked strong in winning, and he shakes hands with Heights after the match. Dempsey was disgusted by the display of sportsmanship from Heights.

The trio now known as High Ryze is the focus of a video package. That trio includes Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, and Tyriek Igwe.

Up next is the aftermath from the fallout between Tony D’Angelo and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo. For that we get some bad acting when Luca Crusifino sits down with D’Angelo. Crusifino professes his innocence to “The Don”, but D’Angelo says he cannot trust anyone. Crusifino insists D’Angelo can trust him.

New TNA Champion Trick Williams is heading to the ring for a celebratory monologue. Trick is victorious and boastful, but he heels on the studio audience when they try cheering for him. Tricks mocks them by asking if they feel stupid for singing along with “Average Joe” on the previous episode of NXT.

Trick boasts about himself and the title win, and Trick lists luminaries that were champions of TNA. Trick then says he is better than all of them. Trick heels on the crowd from turning their back on him, so he is going to TNA. Trick wants to change the name of TNA to “Trick-N-A”.

Santana interrupts Trick and confronts him in the ring. Santana is there to take up for TNA, and Santana takes exception to Trick trying to tear it down. Trick yells at Santana in response, basically telling Santana to know his place. Santana proceeds to cut a promo on Trick, and Santana calls Trick a “pretender” as a wrestler, a rapper and a champion.

Santana vows to take the TNA title from Trick. They are interrupted by TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella, who appears on a video screen. Marella informs Trick that he will indeed be a fighting champion. Trick is booked to defend the TNA title next Tuesday on NXT against Santana.

Santana rocks Trick with punches, and Santana sends Trick packing. Santana then poses with the TNA title belt.

In a locker room skit, Ava informs NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer that she is booked in a tag match at When Worlds Collide, and Ava instructs Vaquer to find a tag partner. Vaquer agrees, but first she has a title match tonight. Lola Vice enters the scene offering to team with Vaquer.

Jaida Parker defeated Tatum Paxley

Parker pinned Paxley after a hip attack. This match was set up with a skit last week that also involved Thea Hail, who runs in after this match to attack Parker.

Setting up the finish, Parker threw on of Paxley’s dolls into the ring. Paxley brought the dolls to ringside before the match. Parker threw the red haired doll (probably symbolizing Gigi Dolan) into the ring. Paxley retrieves the doll. Parker then ambushes Paxley with the Hip-notic finisher, and Parker covers Paxley for a three count. Hail jumps Parker after the match, so they are clearing headed for a singles match between them.

Featured in a hype video is Jasper Troy, whose debut match on NXT television is up next..

Jasper Troy defeated Dante Chen

Troy pinned Chen in a glorified enhancement match. Chen did get a burst of offense just before the end, but Troy wiped out Chen. Tory then delivers a Black Hole Slam, and Troy scores a pinfall.

NXT Champion Oba Femi then gets Troy’s attention, with Femi perched on a stand overlooking the ring. Femi says he could have jumped Troy like Troy did to Femi last week, but Femi does tell Troy to enjoy his five seconds of fame because those five seconds are over now that Troy is in Femi’s sights.

Charlie Dempsey wants Myles Borne and Tavion Heights to pull back and focus on the group. Borne takes exception and says he is not going back. They agree to match with Borne against Dempsey. If Borne wins he can leave No Quarter Catch Crew. Why not just leave the group? He is an independent contractor after all. Oh wait… never mind. Must not be that kind of independent contractor.

New NXT North American Champion Ethan Page is the ring to celebrate his title win earlier in the show. After a hard fought win, Page appears with a scratch on him. He was not even selling the match at all.

Out comes Je’Von Evans to interrupt Page, because almost no monologue in NXT can go uninterrupted. Anyway, Evans announces that Page will defend the North American title against Evans at When World Collide, but that is not all.

Evans then introduces Laredo Kid, and he enters through the crowd. Laredo Kid says he is the most complete luchadore you will ever see. Kid is apparently added to the title match, but that is not all.

Out comes Rey Fenix, who cuts a promo on Page as he announces a fatal four-way match for the title at When Worlds Collide. It is Page defending against Evans, Laredo Kid and Femix. The winner then on a later date faces Sean Legacy, who won a number one contenders match last Tuesday.

NXT Women’s North American Champion Sol Ruca and her pal Zaria offers some kind words to Tatum Paxley in a backstage skit. Meanwhile, looking on is The Culling faction.

Jacy Jayne (with Fatal Influence) defeated NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer to win the title

Jayne pinned Vaquer thanks in part in outside interference from Fallon Henley. They teased more dissension within Fatal Influence, but ultimately it was Henley that helps Jayne win the title. The title change was quite a surprise.

Let in the match, Henley jumps on the apron to cause a distraction. This was similar to a spot Jayne did in Henley’s loss last week on the previous episode. Much like last Tuesday, it backfires on Fatal Influence. Jayne collides with Henley, and Jayne is then superkicked out of the ring. At ringside, Henley and Jayne argue. Jazmyn Nyz tries to keep the peace, but to no avail. Both Henley and Jayne shove Nyz aside as Vaquer leaps off the top rope with a high cross.

Back in the ring, Vaquer counters Jayne. Vaquer then does her signature head scissors spot much to admiration of Booker T on commentary. Vaquer then catches Jayne in a tarantula armbar. Henley swings around the ring post with Tiger Feint Kick to break up the armbar. Jayne then hits Vaquer with a roaring elbow, and Jayne covers the champion for a three count. Disbelief abounds on the title change. Even Mike Rome is in shock as he announces the winner. And new…

**********
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.

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.
