TNA faction adds new members, kicks out others

The final moments of Thursday, January 22nd, 2026, episode of TNA Impact witnessed a brand new change for The System.

Last week, JDC retired from in-ring competition at TNA Genesis against Eddie Edwards in a losing contest. During this Thursday’s episode, JDC announced Bear Bronson as his replacement in The System. However, things soon took a turn.

Bronson, Brian Myers, and Edwards joined forces to take down Moose and JDC as a stunned Alisha Edwards stood in the corner. The new trio of The System continued their attack on JDC and Moose as they kicked out the two veteran wrestlers.

However, fans then saw the arrival of Cedric Alexander with a steel chair. As the crowd expected him to side with Moose, he instead turned heel and dropped the former World Champion with a chair shot. Edwards later confirmed that Moose was now out of The System.

With JDC and Moose now former System members, the current faction includes Eddie and Alisha Edwards, Myers, Bronson, and Alexander, with the final two being new additions.

JDC wrestles final match at TNA Genesis

JDC has wrestled his final match.

In a competitive match at Saturday’s Genesis pay-per-view event, Eddie Edwards defeated JDC in what ended up being an emotional back-and forth match. Although JDC kicked out of one Boston knee party, Edwards followed it up with the Die Hard driver and went to the corner for a second. JDC, seemingly accepting this was the end, instructed Edwards to follow through. Edwards connected with the knee then pinned JDC to end his final match.

After the bell rang, the rest of The System and other babyfaces on the roster came out to applaud JDC as he recovered in the ring. He made his exit and slapped hands with fans as he made it to the stage. He posed one final time on the entrance ramp before the segment ended.

JDC had announced his retirement back in November, saying his final match would take place at Genesis. The following month, he unsuccessfully challenged then-champion Frankie Kazarian at Final Resolution for the TNA Championship. When he came out for Saturday’s match, he wore Terry Funk-style tights as a tribute.

Despite his final match taking place, JDC is still scheduled for this coming Thursday’s episode of TNA on AMC, where he and the rest of the group will introduce a new member of The System.

Starting his career in 1999, JDC is best known for his run in WWE under the name Fandango. He and Tyler Breeze formed a successful tag team, holding the NXT Tag Team titles at one point. He also won season 4 of NXT under its reality show format.

BVV: TNA Final Resolution with…Kazarian vs. JDC? Really?

It’s TNA’s first app special since Mike Santana’s shocking championship loss, and the resulting main event feels suitably underwhelming. Frankie Kazarian defends the TNA World Championship against Johnny “Dango” Curtis in a matchup between that one guy who used to be in SCU and that one guy who used to be Fandango. Was it a bad match? No. Did it feel like the best wrestlers or biggest stars on the show? Also no.

Elsewhere, Santana is out for revenge against NXT’s Charlie Dempsey; Lei Ying Lee defends the Knockouts title against her own tag team partner, Xia Brookside; the Rascalz, as usual, steal the show in an eight-man tag against Order 4; and Leon Slater shines again in an X-Division title defense against AJ Francis.

JDC appears on WWE NXT, set to challenge Lexis King next week

JDC has returned to WWE.

The TNA star made his return to NXT on Tuesday night, confronting Lexis King as he was talking about amending the Heritage Cup rules. Coming out to his old Fandango music, JDC scored a big reaction from the NXT audience.

Reintroducing himself, JDC explained he was representing TNA as part of The System and said he wanted to win some gold for the group, saying he talked to Ava and set up a trophy match for next week. 

JDC was part of the WWE system starting in 2006 and later best became known as Fandango, who managed to get over due to his theme song. After a initial push, he was later known for teaming with Tyler Breeze, at one point holding the NXT Tag Team titles. He was cut from WWE in 2021 and joined TNA the following year.

During his promo on Tuesday, King bragged about his trophy win and declared that the European rounds rules for the title was done and moving forward, the belt would be a one fall, winner take all match.
