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.

Natalya to face Masha Slamovich at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport XIV

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Natalya is returning to Bloodsport.

Josh Barnett made a match between Natalya and Masha Slamovich official for Bloodsport XIV on August 2 in East Rutherford, New Jersey after the two spent most of Monday trading words on social media. 

“If you both are so willing to fight then I’ve got the perfect place for it. Let’s see who gets first blood Aug 2nd,” he wrote.

After Natalya made a post reflecting on WWE’s Evolution pay-per-view, Slamovich asked Natalya if she was grateful for the women out there waiting to beat her. The two continued to exchange words until Barnett made the match official.

Slamovich is not only the JCW World Champion, but also currently holds the TNA Knockouts title. She is set to defend it at Sunday’s TNA Slammiversary event against NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne in a match where both titles are on the line.

The bout is the first to be announced for Bloodsport XIV. Talent scheduled to appear include Jonathan Gresham, Nick Comoroto, Simon Gotch, Matt Mako, Dominic Garrini, and Janai Kai. It will stream live on Triller.

TNA star Masha Slamovich appears during NXT Great American Bash main event

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The main event of NXT Great American Bash saw TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich get involved, helping Blake Monroe & Jordynne Grace even the odds against Fatal Influence.

Monroe & Grace faced off against Jacy Jayne & Fallon Henley in the headlining match of Saturday afternoon’s event in Atlanta. Leading into the finish, there was a moment where the heels were able to gain the edge by having Jazmyn Nyx interfere and push Monroe off the top turnbuckle. But Slamovich then made her way out, brawling with Nyx and neutralizing Fatal Influence’s numbers advantage. The babyfaces then picked up the win with Monroe pinning Jayne.

This marked a successful NXT in-ring debut for the former Mariah May, who was competing in her first televised match since departing AEW for WWE. She worked together with Grace as babyfaces and used a double-arm DDT on Jayne to get the win.

Jayne is the current NXT Women’s Champion, but that could change before this weekend ends. She has a title defense against Grace coming up on Sunday night at WWE Evolution. The winner of that match will then head to TNA Slammiversary on July 20 for a winner-take-all match against Slamovich where the NXT Women’s Championship and TNA Knockouts Championship will both be on the line.

Slamovich has been Knockouts Champion since winning the title from Grace in October 2024.

BVV: TNA Impact with Masha-Kelly chain match

Posted on by Vincent Verhei

In a week focused more on promos than in-ring action, it was two former partners battling for the Knockouts title that stole the show. Masha Slamovich vs. Killer Kelly wasn’t pretty, but it was intense, physical, and dramatic, with a championship at stake.

The rest of the show was filled with short matches, promos, and angles building to Slammiversary on July 20, including a confrontation between Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali; Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence from NXT making their presence known; Matt Cardona continuing to cause problems for the System; the Home Town Man being attacked and unmasked backstage; an incredibly great Leon Slater personality video; Steve Maclin finding two challengers for the International championship; Nic Nemeth meeting Zachary Wentz in a fun but meaningless battle; and much-hyped King’s Speech segment with Frankie Kazarian stirring the pot for Slammiversary main eventers Trick Williams, Joe Hendry, and Mike Santana.

TNA Impact live results: Chain match for Knockouts title

Posted on by Matt Boone

The TNA Knockouts title will be on the line tonight on Impact in a chain match between champion Masha Slamovich and former partner Killer Kelly.

Kelly issued a challenger last Thursday when Slamovich upped the ante with the stipulation. Champion for nearly 250 days, Slamovich is looking for the 12th successful title defense of her reign.

After the surprise debut of Cedric Alexander, Tasha Steelz will address Alexander and Mustafa Ali this week.

Ahead of their respective teams meeting in a four-way ladder match at Slammiversary, Nic Nemeth takes on Trey Miguel.

The IInspiration will look to continue their march toward a Knockouts Tag Team title bout as they face Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard.

Jake Something makes his return to action for the first time in five months as he battles Mance Warner.

In a battle between veterans, Eddie Edwards takes on Matt Cardona while Frankie Kazarian will share some thoughts ahead of Slammiversary.

**********

A video recap and the usual opening video and “Cross the Line” theme plays to get the show started. Footage is then shown of Joe Hendry’s vow to recapture the TNA World Championship from Trick Williams at TNA Slammiversary.

Tom Hannifan Announces New TNA Slammiversary Main Event

Inside the Impact Zone, Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome fans to the show. They then announce the updated main event for TNA Slammiversary, with Trick Williams now defending the TNA World Championship against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana in triple-threat action.

The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay) vs. Tessa Blanchard & Victoria Crawford

The theme for Indi Hartwell hits and the former WWE NXT Superstar makes her way out to join Hannifan and Rehwoldt on guest commentary for the opening match of the evening. The theme for The IInspiration plays and out comes Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay for the first match of the show.

After Lee and McKay settle in the ring, their music dies down and the lights dim down. Tessa Blanchard’s entrance tune plays and the lights come back on. Out comes Blanchard and her partner for this tag-team contest, Victoria Crawford.

McKay and Crawford kicked things off for their respective teams at the sound of the opening bell. Crawford backed McKay into the corner. McKay turns Crawford and chokes her. She takes Crawford down and rolls into a pin attempt, but only gets a two-count.

McKay tags in Lee, and the two hit a double-team spot before stopping and doing a double pose. Indi Hartwell mentions on commentary about how she was one of many who were inspired by The IInspiration growing up. They knock Blanchard off the apron, and she’s not happy.

Blanchard tags in, but Lee gets the better of their initial exchange. Blanchard, however, quickly takes over, sending Lee to the mat and choking her over the bottom rope. After Blanchard and Crawford enjoy some time in the lead, things come unglued at the end.

On the floor, Blanchard ends up losing focus on the match and getting into a shouting match with Hartwell. The IInspiration hit a double-team spot on Crawford in the ring for the victory. Afterwards, Blanchard and Hartwell have a wild pull-apart. Hartwell says they will do battle at Slammiversary.

Match Result: The IInspiration defeated Tessa Blanchard & Victoria Crawford

Tom Hannifan Makes TNA Slammiversary Announcements

The show heads to a commercial break after Hannifan and Rehwoldt run down the advertised lineup for the evening. When the show returns, Hannifan is shown on-camera to announce a new pair of matches for the next TNA pay-per-view.

Hannifan announced that The IInspiration vs. The Elegance Brand for the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships is now official for TNA Slammiversary. Also added to the lineup for the special event on July 20 at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York is Indi Hartwell vs. Tessa Blanchard.

Mustafa Ali & “PRIME” Cedric Alexander Stroll Down Memory Lane

Inside the Impact Zone, Tasha Steelz is in the ring. She mentions calling the one man she knew could help talk to Mustafa Ali about the way things have been going lately. She mentioned that the man was “PRIME” Cedric Alexander.

Steelz introduces Alexander, who makes his way out to the ring. Also coming out is the Order 4 leader himself, Mustafa Ali. The two stand together in the ring with Steelz. Alexander talks about coming here to help him.

Alexander asks if Ali remembers 205 Live. He says they were the heart and soul of that division in WWE years ago. Ali tells him he doesn’t want his help. He uses profane language that is censored off the broadcast in doing so.

Ali then challenges Alexander to a match at Slammiversary. Alexander says if he want to take things that way, he’s fine beating his ass. Ali tries hitting him with a cheap shot, but Alexander gets the better of him. Security hits the ring but ends up beaten down by Alexander and The Great Hands, with Ali watching on.

TNA Knockouts Championship (Chain Match)
Masha Slamovich (c) vs. Killer Kelly

The show heads to another commercial break after the Alexander-Ali segment wrapped up. When the show returned, an extended pay-per-view-style pre-match video package aired to tell the story behind the upcoming battle of former MK Ultra partners and friends.

The package wraps up and the lights in the Impact Zone go out. The the dark red lights come on and out comes Killer Kelly. She crawls around with a chain as she heads inside the squared circle. The theme for her opponent, Masha Slamovich, hits next.

Reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Slamovich then joins Kelly in the ring. The two are securely connected to the chain and then the bell sounds and things get officially off-and-running. Kelly crawls to the middle of the ring and looks up at Slamovich.

After the initial exchange, the action quickly spills out to the floor. The chain is used by a weapon by both, and then Kelly sets up a pulley-system type of setup with the chain hanging over the ring post to choke Slamovich. The show heads into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, Slamovich takes over control of the offense. She violently slams Kelly’s face into the steel steps over and over and over again. She drags her up to the top of the entrance area, but Kelly counters and slams her on the steel ramp.

Kelly chokes Slamovich with the chain around her throat before suplexing her on the ramp. After the action resumes back in the ring, Slamovich takes over and chokes Kelly out with the chain for the win to retain her title.

Afterwards, Fatal Influence trio Jacy Jane, Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley hit the ring and beat Masha down. Lee Ying Lei and Xia Brookside run down to make the save, chasing off the WWE NXT trio to wrap up the brief post-match scene.

Match Result: Masha Slamovich defeated Killer Kelly to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship

Eric Young Tells The Northern Armory They Need To Prove Themselves

Footage is shown of Eric Young getting into a physical altercation with a fan once again at last week’s show. The digital exclusive video is shown of Young being ejected from the building and arguing with “The Home Town Man” about really being Cody Deaner on the way out.

Back live, Young is shown backstage with The Northern Armory duo of Judas Icarus and Travis Williams. He blames them for his embarrassment and says they made matters worse by losing to The Hardy Boys. They assure him they’ll do whatever it takes to make it up. Young says prove it.

TNA Injury Report On Trey Miguel, Xia Brookside & AJ Francis

Tom Hannifan checks in with this week’s TNA Injury Report presented by Bioflex. Trey Miguel has a hernia issue. There is no timetable for his return.

Xia Brookside has reaggravated a knee injury and is “day to day” at this time. AJ Francis was banged up after his match last week, but is not expected to miss any time. The show heads to another break.

Matt Cardona vs. Eddie Edwards (w/ Alisha Edwards)

When the show returned from the break, a quick Mike Santana promo from a stairwell was shown. He talks about the voice of the fans forcing TNA management to add him to the Trick Williams vs. Joe Hendry match for the TNA World Championship at TNA Slammiversary. He vows to bring the title home.

Back inside the Impact Zone, the theme for The System hits. Out comes Eddie Edwards accompanied by Alisha Edwards for the next match of the evening. His music dies down and “Alwayz Ready” Matt Cardona emerges next.

Cardona settles in the ring and the bell sounds. Cardona and Edwards immediately collide, with “The Indy God” taking the early offensive lead and slamming Edwards down to the mat. He misses a high spot off the ropes, however, and Edwards takes over.

Alisha is shown trying to sneak The System ring in to Eddie, but Brian Myers comes out and stops him from using it. This allows Cardona to roll Edwards up from behind for the win. After the match, the lights go out. WWE NXT group Dark State hits the ring and attacks Cardona.

Match Result: Matt Cardona defeated Eddie Edwards

Mance Warner (w/ Steph De Lander) vs. Jake Something

Backstage, Sami Callihan is shown tending to “The Home Town Man” who is down and having his face covered by a towel to “protect his identity.” Callihan yells for help.

After this, the Leon Slater digital exclusive package airs, which tells the story of Slater’s young journey into wrestling following family and life hardships.

Inside the Impact Zone, TNA International Champion Steve Maclin’s theme hits. Out he comes to join Hannifan and Rehwoldt on commentary for the next match of the evening. Mance Warner comes out accompanied by Steph De Lander.

The duo kiss and settle in the ring, where Warner will be in one-on-one competition. His opponent, the returning Jake Something, makes his way out after his surprise comeback appearance last week. The bell sounds to get things started.

After some early action, we see things spill out to the floor. Something has not-so-friendly words with Maclin at the commentary desk. He goes back to work on Warner. Warner takes over and does the same, arguing with Maclin.

Maclin ends up losing his cool and getting physically involved, leading to a big impromptu three-man brawl at ringside that many, many security guards struggle to break up. The match is ruled a no contest. The show heads to a break.

When the show returns, they are still brawling backstage. It is announced that the three will do battle with the TNA International Championship on the line on next week’s episode of TNA Impact on July 10.

Match Result: No Contest

Nic Nemeth (w/ Ryan Nemeth) vs. Zachary Wentz (w/ Myron Reed)

Inside the Impact Zone once again, the lights go out. The familiar sounds of The Rascalz’ theme hits and out comes Zachary Wentz. It is once again mentioned that due to an injury to Trey Miguel, Wentz is filling in for the next match of the evening.

Wentz makes his way out to the ring, but he is not alone. With him is a Rascalz original, Myron Reed, who is back on the scene in TNA Wrestling now. After settling in the ring, the entrance tune for Nic Nemeth hits. Out comes “The Wanted Man” and his brother, Ryan Nemeth.

The bell sounds and things get started, with Wentz finding some good early offensive success. It isn’t long, however, before “The Hollywood Hunk” starts inserting himself into the match from the ringside area. This allows his “Big brothhhhherrrrrr” to take over again on offense.

The show heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When the show returns, we see Wentz is firing up once again on offense. Things continue looking good for Wentz until yet again, Ryan Nemeth interferes, leading to Nic hitting Danger Zone for the win.

Match Result: Nic Nemeth defeated Zachary Wentz

King’s Speech with Frankie Kazarian, Trick Williams, Joe Hendry & Mike Santana

It’s main event (segment) time!

After the commentary duo of Hannifan and Rehwoldt run down the updated lineup for TNA Slammiversary, they announce matches for next week’s episode of TNA Impact on July 10 (see match listing below).

From there, the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” makes his way out to the ring. Frankie Kazarian settles inside the squared circle and hops on the microphone for the debut installment of his new talk show segment, King’s Speech.

Kazarian boasts a bit as always, and then begins introducing his guests. Joe Hendry comes out first, and then Mike Santana, followed by the reigning TNA World Champion Trick Williams. All three will compete with the title on-the-line at TNA Slammiversary.

Each guy takes a turn on the mic stating their case and why they are going to win at TNA Slammiversary on July 20, with things ultimately culminating in a giant melee involving all four guys. When all was said and done, Williams and Kazarian laid out Hendry and Santana. That’s how this week’s show ended.

**********

After the usual show-starting recap package for last week’s episode, and the intro video and “Cross the Line” theme opener, the show settles inside the Impact Zone.

Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us to the show as the Road to Slammiversary continues, with the company celebrating 23 years of TNA Wrestling.

Eric Young (w/ The Northern Armory) vs. Sami Callihan

The familiar sounds of Sami Callihan’s entrance tune hits the house speakers. The longtime TNA veteran makes his way out and settles in the ring for the scheduled opening contest. Eric Young comes out next accompanied by The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus.

Young and The Northern Armory have new theme music when they come out, and they’re also all wearing black hoods with white X’s on them. As they settle in the ring, Callihan, with a freshly-shaved head, attacks before the bell.

Callihan continues to inflict damage on the floor at ringside. He pulls out a steel chair from under the ring, but before he can use it, Young kicks him in the bread basket. Young gets the chair and has Callihan’s arm on the steel steps. He swings it as hard as he can, but Callihan moves in time.

From there, Callihan fights back and takes over. He rolls Young into the ring and plays to the crowd. Upon following Young into the ring, the bell sounds. Young immediately attacks Callihan and goes for a quick pin attempt, only getting a count of two.

Young sends Callihan back out to the floor where his Northern Armory vultures immediately go to work on him. They send him back in the ring, where Young delivers a couple of kicks before sending Callihan right back out.

Williams and Icarus inflict more punishment as Young seems to be beefing with some random dude in the crowd. The referee reaches a count of nine before Callihan quickly springs to life and rolls back in the ring to keep this match alive. Young goes to work on Callihan in the corner.

Hannifan points out that this is match number 714 for Eric Young. Interesting. Young slams Callihan and heads to the top-rope, only for Callihan to come-to and crotch him and climb up after him. Young bites at Callihan’s head. Young leaps off but is caught on the way down by a big shot from Callihan.

Callihan plays to the crowd and begins looking for the Cactus Driver ’97. Young fights it off and counters. The two both gouge the others eyes and then Young looks for the Tombstone. Callihan avoids it and counters with a flatliner. Both guys are down.

Young is up first. Callihan chops him and whips him into the corner. Young flips up and over, Ric Flair in his prime style, and then does the quick-climb up to the top-rope. Unlike Flair, however, Young connects with his follow-up offense off the top, landing his signature flying elbow drop for a close two-count.

Young looks at a potential weapon, and hears Hannifan say something he doesn’t like. He heads out and gets in his face. Hannifan and Rehwoldt says it wasn’t them who said whatever angered him. Young looks around at people in the crowd, intimidating some of them, before heading into the ring again.

Callihan surprises Young, grabbing a handful of non-sunshine mid-level body, use your imagination, and squeezes away. The crowd explodes. Callihan follows up with a big move and goes for the cover, but Young kicks out.

Callihan has Young in place and is calling for the finish, when Williams and Icarus hit the ring. One provides a distraction, while the other blasts Callihan with a steel chair. Young follows up with a piledriver and covers Callihan for the pinfall victory.

Match Result: Eric Young defeated Sami Callihan

Joe Hendry, Elijah, Leon Slater & The Rascalz Talk Champions Challenge

Joe Hendry, The Rascalz, Elijah and Leon Slater are shown backstage with Gia Miller. She interviews them and asks about their scheduled match in tonight’s main event, which features the returning TNA Champions Challenge, with each current TNA title-holder on the other side of the ring.

Hendry, Elijah and Scott take turns, in that order, hyping up the match. The Rascalz then close out the segment calling The Nemeths Hollywood Chumps as opposed to Hollywood Hunks. They ask themselves out loud is Steve Maclin is alright, or if they should kick his ass.

They all walk off together. Hannifan mentions action still to come as the match and segment graphics flash across the screen. The show settles into a commercial break.

Order 4 Summit

The show returns from the break to the sounds of Mustafa Ali’s theme hitting inside the Impact Zone. Out he comes with the rest of the Order 4 group — Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands duo of John Skyler and Jason Hotch.

After they settle in the ring, Ali begins by demanding that Steelz step up first. He mentions her being in charge of his press, and says she has done an awful job. He demands she apologize. He then demands to see her phone. He sees she has been calling “him” and demands she stop.

Ali then calls out Jason Hotch. He talks about their recent issues and mentions how he’s not even the one paying his rent or for the food his children eat. He demands an apology from him on behalf of his wife and children. He apologizes through gritted teeth.

From there, Ali calls John Skyler to come over. Skyler grabs the microphone out of Ali’s hands before he can say much of anything to him. He mentions how unlike Steelz and Hotch, he has no family. He says wrestling is his family. He tells Ali he’s been acting like a jackass.

Ali loses his cool and gets in Skyler’s face. He asks if he remembers who he is talking to right now. He demands him apologize. Not only that, but he orders him to get down on his hands and knees to do his apology. Skyler gets ready to, but stops and refuses. Ali says there’s consequences for his actions. They will fight next week in a “Call To Arms” match.

Killer Kelly Sends A Message To Masha Slamovich

In a new vignette that airs after the Order 4 Summit, Killer Kelly is playing with a chain and rolling around in a red lit scene, where she reflects on her days as part of MK Ultra with current TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich, before making it clear that she’s coming for her title. The show heads to another break.

Ash & Heather By Elegance (w/ M By Elegance & George Iceman) vs. Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich

When the show returns, we see George Iceman in the ring drawing cheap heat with the crowd in attendance, in progress. He then does his dramatic introduction for the greatest TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions of all-time.

On that note, out come the reigning title-holders Ash and Heather by Elegance. They head to the ring with M By Elegance to join their personal concierge. The lights go out. The theme for their opponents begins playing and out comes Lei Ying Lee, followed by TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich.

The bell sounds and things get officially off-and-running with Ash and Lee kicking things off for their respective teams. Lee gets the early offensive advantage, leading to a hissy fit from Ash, who stops mid-match to check Google Translate for something. Heather tags in and gets rag-dolled as well.

This leads to Ash and Heather regrouping on the floor at ringside with M and Iceman. As they do, Lee hits a big senton from the corner to the floor on the pile of elegant bodies. Slamovich hits the ropes inside the ring and goes air-born for a big dive as well. The show heads to a mid-match break.

When the show returns, we see some more back-and-forth action, with the Elegance duo pulling ahead due to interference from M By Elegance behind the referee’s back. When Slamovich helps her team shift the momentum, it is a surprise appearance by Killer Kelly causing a distraction that leads to the Elegance brand stealing the win.

Match Result: Ash & Heather By Elegance defeated Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich

The IInspiration Send Message To Knockouts Tag Champions

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with The IInspiration duo of Cassie Lee and Jess McKay. She asks for their thoughts on what just transpired in the ring. They tell the Elegance Brand to enjoy their titles while they can, because they’ve got their sights set on them.

A TNA Injury report segment airs with updates on Mike Santana’s bottle attack from AJ Francis. They mention he returns from suspension next week. Tasha Steelz was shaken up after her match last week, but is cleared for action. The show heads to another commercial break.

Jake Something Returns, Attacks Mance Warner

When the show returns, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella comes to the ring to make some announcements. He says it will be Mike Santana vs. AJ Francis in a Street Fight next week when Santana returns from suspension.

He then calls out to the ring someone he describes as a mentor and a legend, Tommy “The” Dreamer. Dreamer makes his way out and joins Santino in the ring. Santino talks about how Dreamer has that dog in him. “And I’m pretty sure it’s a husky, because, well … you’re kind of husky!”

Santino tells Dreamer anytime he wants he can have it, Tommy Dreamer vs. Mance Warner. He says he has the power to make it happen. The theme for Warner hits and out he comes with Steph De Lander. De Lander says “The Innovator of Violence” might’ve been cool in 1996, but she wasn’t even born then.

She says this is 2025 and he might’ve been violent then, but her man, “The Southern Psychopath” Mance Warner, is the most violent and dangerous man walking today. Dreamer says he can’t do this right now, but they need to understand there’s always a bigger picture, and it’s always about something else.

On cue, the theme for that ‘something’ else hits, as the theme for Jake Something hits the house speakers in the Impact Zone. Something makes his way out looking as massive as ever in his surprise return to TNA after an injury hiatus. He attacks Warner, who retreats with De Lander to end the segment.

Indi Hartwell, Tessa Blanchard Have Words

After footage from last week’s show airs involving Indi Hartwell, we shoot backstage where we see Hartwell confronting Tessa Blanchard. Blanchard reminds Hartwell how she helped her in the past.

Blanchard then complains and moans, prompting Hartwell to say the way she’s talking, she’s starting to prove people right the way they talk about her. The show then heads to another commercial break.

Eddie Edwards & JDC vs. Matt Cardona & The Hometown Man

Inside the Impact Zone, the show returns to the familiar sounds of The System’s entrance music. Out comes Eddie Edwards and JDC, accompanied by Brian Myers and Alisha Edwards. They settle inside the ring for scheduled tag-team action.

Out next comes the first of their two opponents, Mr. “Alwayz Ready” himself, Matt Cardona. Cardona gets on the microphone for the big reveal of his mystery tag-team partner. Out comes “The Hometown Man” himself.

In his return appearance, “The Hometown Man,” who teamed with The Hardys and Leon Slater at TNA Against All Odds against The System, makes his way out. The superhero formerly known as Cody Deaner gets the early jump at the sound of the bell.

The match gets all of a few minutes to develop, before “The Hometown Man” gets a roll-up out of nowhere for an unexpected three-count. As soon as the bell sounds, Brian Myers attacks “The Hometown Man.”

Cardona yanks him off of him. The two go face-to-face, but Edwards and JDC attack Cardona from behind. The show heads to another commercial break after the match.

Match Result: Matt Cardona & “The Hometown Man” defeated Eddie Edwards & JDC

TNA Title On-The-Line Next Week On WWE NXT

Following the obligatory recap video package of TNA-related action on this week’s episode of WWE NXT on The CW Network, a graphic flashes on the screen as Tom Hannifan promotes Trick Williams vs. Josh Briggs for the TNA World Championship.

TNA Champions Challenge
Trick Williams (c), Steve Maclin (c), Moose (c) & The Nemeths (Nic & Ryan Nemeth) (c) vs. Joe Hendry, Elijah, Leon Slater & The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)

It’s main event time!

When the show returns, Tom Hannifan runs down the advertised lineup for next week’s episode of TNA Impact (see below), and then the stage begins getting set for the returning TNA Champions Challenge in our main event of this week’s show.

From there, the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” Frankie Kazarian makes his way out to join Hannifan and Rehwoldt on special guest commentary for the final match of the evening. 20 minutes later, all of the very many ring entrances for those involved in TNA Champions Challenge wraps up. The good guys all do the Joe Hendry turn together.

It is mentioned that Moose, as of tonight, has moved into second place in the longest reigns in the history of the TNA X-Division Championship. TNA World Champion Trick Williams makes his way to the ring last, and then the show heads into a quick pre-match commercial break.

The show returns and the match gets underway. Things start off slow, with Nemeth kicking things off and taking an early offensive lead. He forcably tags in Steve Maclin, who picks up where he left off, taking it to Zachary Wentz of The Rascalz.

Trey Miguel tags in and The Rascalz look for a double-team spot on “Bulletproof” Maclin, who avoids it and has a stop-and-stare moment with them. Maclin looks to make a tag, but none of the other champions, all heels, are willing to do so.

Maclin smacks the crap out of Ryan Nemeth and makes him come in, yanking him over the ropes and slamming him down. Miguel follows up on Ryan and covers him, but Ryan kicks out at two. Trick tags in and helps expand his team’s lead.

Moose picks up where he left off as the show heads into a mid-match break. When the show returns, Trick is in the ring easily handling Miguel, with the action noticeably slower and deliberate than it has been thus far. Ryan sneaks in some cheap offense on Miguel as Trick ties the referee up.

As soon as Maclin tags in, Moose immediately does a force-tag, not allowing Maclin to do anything. This is the second time they’ve done this to the only babyface on their team in the match. Maclin tries to come in again, only to be forced back on the apron in favor of Nic Nemeth.

Maclin ends up in the ring moments later. Joe Hendry nearly tags in, and the crowd explodes thinking that he has. The referee forces Hendry back on the apron due to not seeing it. Maclin refuses to tag his teammates in when he nears his corner of the ring, knowing they won’t let him back in if he does.

Moose ends up back in for the TNA Champions team. Once again Hendry tags in for the TNA All Stars team, but once more the referee was distracted when it happened, so the TNA fan-favorite is forced back on the apron. Moments later, Hendry finally gets tagged and this time the referee saw it.

The crowd explodes as a fired up Hendry hits the ring fresh off the hot tag, and he immediately goes to work on Nic Nemeth. He sends him flying out to the floor and scoops up Ryan Nemeth when he sees him coming. He slams him and off Ryan goes.

He goes for the dramatic turn, and upon turning, sees TNA World Champion Trick Williams standing in his face. The two milk the moment for a few seconds, and then they begin trading shots back-and-forth. Hendry hoists the big-man up and hits him with a fall-away slam.

Hendry tags in Elijah. The crowd do some singing-style chants for “Oh, walk with Elijah!” as he goes to work on “The Hollywood Hunk” in the corner of the ring. Ryan heads to the top and leaps off, but comes down to a perfectly-timed flying knee from Elijah. Leon Slater tags in and hits a leaping switch kick.

Moose filters in and hits a high spot. The Rascalz come in and hit a double-team Crucifix Bomb. Nic Nemeth tries using a title as a weapon, but Maclin lays him out, despite him being Maclin’s own teammate.

In the ring, Hendry hits a Standing Ovation on Ryan. He sends him to Elijah, who hits his tombstone piledriver finisher for the pinfall victory. The TNA All-Stars team celebrate as Elijah’s theme plays and Tom Hannifan does an excellent send-off mentioning the 23-year anniversary of TNA. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air.

Match Result: Joe Hendry, Elijah, Leon Slater & The Rascalz defeated Trick Williams, Steve Maclin, Moose & The Nemeths in TNA Champions Challenge

**********

Pre Show:

The Elegance Brand vs. Harley Hudson, Myla Grace and Xia Brookside

Hudson got worked over by the Elegance Brand. Hudson reversed a suplex and got the tag to Brookside. Brookside gave Ash a neckbreaker which caused her to DDT one of her partners. Ash took Hudson down with a meteora that bent her backwards. The “Personal Consigere” of the Elegance Brand hit Grace with a trident (this is not a typo, the guy had a trident), and Ash got the pinfall.

After the match, “The IInspiration” (formerly the IIconics, Jessie McCay and Cassie Lee)) returned to TNA, and they made the “we want the belts” motion.

Winner: The Elegance Brand defeated Harley Hudson, Myla Grace & Xia Brookside (5:11)

–Tasha Steele was in the back calling for someone to help her deal with Mustafa Ali

– Steph De Lander interrupted the commentators from pitching to a package about the match for the “Director of Authority” to taunt Steve Maclin on behalf of Mance Warner.

– Santino Marella and Arianna Grace came out to cut a promo about his match with Robert Stone. Stone came out with Alicia Fox and Tessa Blanchard to respond, promising to make Arianna Grace “his maid” after he wins. I’m 100% convinced Grace will cost her father the match. Matt Cardona then interrupted to remind everyone that he’s a free agent, and as “per TNA management” he will be the special referee for the Stone/Marella match. Also, Stone “forgot to read the tiny little print in the contract” and the Cobra is legal for tonight. Also, Stone has a plastic sheriff’s badge on the really complete bush league look of things.

– A promo for the Trick Williams/Elijah TNA World title match. Tom Hannifan promised he’ll try to be impartial but they want Elijah to bring the TNA World Title “home” to TNA.

Main Show

The show open with an unironic promo about a guy who spent years in WWE bringing back trying to bring back the World Title to TNA. Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt were on commentary.

TNA International Champion Steve Maclin defends against Mance Warner (w/ Steph De Lander)

Before the match they show the match “headlines” which give a bit of the backstory for the match. Maclin hit a slow tope through the bottom two ropes on the floor, and this elicited a “TNA!” chant from the crowd. Maclin hit Warner with the Cactus Jack elbow on the floor. The crowd chanted “One mroe time!” so Maclin obliged. Maclin tried setting up an outside-into the ring superplex, but De Lander tripped him up in the ropes.

Back in the ring, Warner and Maclin exchanged heavy blows. Warner hit a spinebuster for a near fall. Maclin came back with a clothesline. Warner hit a Thez Press and an Angle Slam. Another clothesline got a near fall. Maclin tied Warner to the tree of woe, but Warner dodged the attack and hit Warner with a boot on the floor. Warner followed up with a neckbreaker on the floor. In the ring, Warner hit a short driving bulldog for a near fall.

The fight went out to the apron, and Maclin dropped Warner with a Death Valley Driver “on the hardest part of the ring!” De Lander distracted Maclin as he went to the top, allowing Warner to crotch him. Warner then hit a top rope superplex. Warner hit a running knee strike for two. The crowd got behind Maclin while Warner took him down with a torando DDT for another near fall. Warner and Maclin started exchanging strikes in the ring, then boots, then clotheslines. Finally a double clothesline dropped them both. Maclin tied Warner up in the Tree of Woe, he a spear, then hit him with a leaping double arm DDT to retain the title.

Winner: TNA International Champion Steve Maclin defeated Mance Warner to retain (9:40)

– Elijah promised to bring the TNA Title “home.”

Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Leon Slater & The Hometown Man vs. The System (JDC, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards & Moose) (w/ Alisha Edwards)

The Hometown Man was a poorly disguised Cody Deaner, which the commentators openly acknowledged. The Hardys are still over. JDC got worked over in the babyface corner. The Hometown Man got a tag and the crowd chanted “Hometown Man!” Deaner dominated Eddie Edwards with a bulldog and puches in the corner. The Hometown Man hit the sliced bread and soon all eight men were brawling. The babyface tossed all the members of The System to the floor.

Moose got the tag and put The Hometown Man down with a big boot. The Hometown Man got the tag to Jeff Hardy, who dropped an elbow for a near fall. Edwards blocked a Twist of Fate attempt and got the tag to JDC. Jeff Hardy got worked over by the heels while the crowd chanted for the Hometown Man. Jeff Hardy hit the Whisper in the Wing on Myers and JDC, then got the tag to Matt.

Matt Hardy beat back Moose in the corner and him a tornado DDT out of the corner. The Hardy double-teamed Moose and Leon Slater followed up with a top rope splash. The System ganged up on Matt Hardy for a near fall, broken up by the Hometown Man. The Hometown Man took out Moose with a dive on the floor. Back in the ring, The Hardys and Slater hit Twists of Fate on the remaining members of the System.

On the floor, Moose power bombed The Hometown Man on the ring apron, but Hardy came out and caught him with a dive. Jeff tossed Moose back in the ring, and Slater and Hardy triple-teamed him. Jeff hardy hit the Swanton Bomb. Slater missed a 450, but landed on his feet, then turned around and took out everyone on the floor with a flip dive over the top turnbuckle. Slate dove back in the ring and Moose, but Moose took him out with a spear. Moose tried for a running spear, but Slater rolled him up into a small package and got the pinfall.

Match Result: Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Leon Slater & The Home Town Man defeated The System (12:36)

– The Bioflex injury report: Tessa Blanchard and Rosemary are injured, but Santino Marella and Robert Stone passed their physicals.

Mustafa Ali (w/ John Skyler & Tasha Steele) vs. Jason Hotch

Skyler was on commentary for the match. Some tremendous mat wrestling to start. Hotch hit Ali with a dropkick that sent him to the floor. Hotch went for a springboard dive to the floor, but Ali grabbed him basically in mid-air and German suplexed him on the apron. Ali then gave him a spinning backbeaker against the ring apron and Hotch landed on his head and neck in an ugly way. Back in the ring, Ali hit a running hangman’s neckbreaker for a near fall. Ali stops himself from using a fist (there is a “gentleman’s agreement” in place) but chopped him hard in the chest.

Ali went for another chop, but Hotch countered the chop with some “small joint manipulation,” then hit a tornado DDT from the middle rope to the floor. Back in the ring, Hotch hit a top rope crossbody for a near fall. Hotch hit a Spanish Fly for a near fall. Ali tripped Hotch into the ropes in front of Tasha Steele. Ali was looking for Steele to help him out, but she didn’t. Ali stalked Steele around ringside, and she left. This gave Hotch the opportunity to hit a top rope plancha on the floor.

Back in the ring, Hotch hit a frog splash for a near fall. Hotch hit a spinning Falcon Arrow for another near fall. Ali escaped a powerbomb, but so did Hotch, who followed up with a clothesline. Hotch with a double stomp for another near fall. Ali hit a springboard tornado DDT, then came off the top with a 450 splash for a sure pin… but pulled Hotch up after 2.

This brought John Skyler off of commentary to tell Ali to stop screwing around. But the crowd chanted “One More Time” so Ali went up again and went for another 450. But, Hotch got his knees up and small packaged Ali for two. Hotch charged into a belly-to-belly suplex into the turnbuckles. Ali hi another 450 to the back of Hotch, and this time didn’t pull him up.

After the match, John Skyler went to help Hotch up, but Ali kicked his hand away. He made Hotch get to his feet himself. Ali offered Hotch a handshake, but when Hotch went to accept, he walked away from him.

My read on Ali is he’s trying to work on character stuff to prove himself to WWE and go back there.

Match Result: Mustafa Ali defeated Jason Hotch (13:45)

– Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee are back in TNA and they’re back to “inspire.”

– Last Tuesday on NXT, Mike Santana couldn’t beat Trick Williams for the TNA title because KC Navarro and AJ Francis interfered in a “first class betrayal.”

The First Class Penthouse with AJ Francis, KC Navarro & Mike Santana

This was a lot of talking. Francis and Navarro shouted about their issues with Mike Santana while the crowd tried to boo them down. Francis thought Santana wasn’t there, but he came through the crowd to get at Francis and Navarro. Santana fought through the security Francis brought with him (their shirts said “Security” so you know they were legit). Francis sacrificed Navarro, who was put through a table by Santana. Francis then broke a champagne glass over Santana’s head and drug Navarro away.

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich defends against Lei Ying Lee

Indi Hartwell joined the commentary team for this match, and she said that she grew up watching TNA in Austraila and her dream was always to be a “TNA Knockout.”

The fight went to the floor early, where Slamovich set up Lee for a suplex on the ring steps. Lee countered, put Slamovich in a overhead backbreaker walked up the ring steps and dumped Slamovich to the floor. Back in the ring, Lee hit a 360 swinging neckbreaker for a near fall. Slamovich tried to fight back, but Lee countered with a jacknife cover for a near fall. Lee tripped up Slamovich and hit her with a draping DDT on the floor.

Back in the ring, the match devolved into a slugfest. Lee ducked a spinning kick from Slamovich and hit one of her own. There was contrived spot where Lee sat on the top turnbucle, then “pulled up” Slamovich for something like a face first suplex, but Slamovitch countered and it ended up as a hurricanrana off the top.

Slamovich hit a spinning leg lariat for a near fall. Lee caught Slamovich with a back elbow and a kick for a near fall. Slamovitch escaped an electirc chair and caught Lee with a cradle for a near fall. Lee hit a meteora for another near fall. Lee went to the top, but Slamovich caught up with her a hit a middle rope death valley driver. Slamovich followed up with a running knee for a near fall. Slamovitch hit a stuff piledriver and got the pinfall.

After the match, Killer Kelly returned to TNA wrestling and dropped a chain at Slamovich’s feet, then left.

Match Result: TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich defeated Lei Ying Lee to retain (12:50)

Frankie Kazarian vs. Joe Hendry

The commentators put over how improtant a TNA champion Henrdy is by virute of taking the TNA title to the Royal Rumble (where he was tossed out in five minutes) and WrestleMania (where he was jobbed out in three minutes).

Hendry started out fast with punches and chops, overwhelming Kazarian. Kazarian bumped all over the place for Hendry. Hendry slammed Kazarian on the floor. Back in the ring, Henrdy caught Kazarian with a fall-away slam. Kazarian escaped Hendry’s “Standing Ovation” with a thumb to the eye, then clipped Hendry’s knee. Hendry battled back with forearms, but Kazarian worked over the knee. Kazarian paid tribute to TNA producer Lance Storm with a half-crab, but Hendry made the ropes.

Kazarian kept working over Hendry’s knee. Kazarian hit a back stabber and a sliding clothesline, but missed a springboard legdrop. Hendry hit a cutter while selling his injured leg. Hendry hit some clotheslines and a one legged fall-away slam, then kipped up and sold his knee. Kazarian went for a chicken wing, but Hendry escaped and suplexed Kazarian. Kazarian hit a legdrop and a slingshot DDT for a near fall. Kazarian went for an anklelock, but Hendry kicked out and caught Kazarian with a small package for two.

Hendry hit an Olympic Slam for another near. Henrdy went for the standing ovation, but Kazarian countered with a Sister Abigal for a near fall. Kazarian caught Hendry with a chicken-wing and almost got a ref stoppage, but Hendry fought back. Kazarian clipped Hendry in the knee and rolled him up with his feet on the ropes to get the pinfall.

The crowd was totally behind Hendry, I have no idea why they jobbed him here. I was expecting some kind of Dusty Finish here, but Kazarian called Hendry a loser again after the match and ran to the back.

Match Result: Frankie Kazarian defeated Joe Hendry (12:42)

– In the back, Robert Stone paid off the referee in his match tonight, Matt Cardona.

TNA Tag Team Champions Nic & Ryan Nemeth defend against The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)

Ryan whipped Wentz into a knee from Nic, and then Nic followed up with a superkick in the floor. The Nemeths worked over Wentz in their corner. Actually the best part of this match was Rehwoldt’s over the top praise of the Nemeths. Miguel lead the crowd in a “He’s adopted!” chant aimed at Ryan Nemeth, and Rehwoldt assured he’d seen both photo albums and Ryan’s birth certificate. Ryan cut off a hot tag for Wentz by pulling Miguel to the floor.

The Nemeths hit a double-team neckbreaker for a near fall. Nic taunted Wentz and would up eating a knee strike. Miguel got the tag and hit Ryan with a dropkick off the top. Miguel gave Ryan a rana, and then Ryan decided to sellt the rana, it an awkward spot. The Nemeths hit stereo dives on the floor.

Back in the ring, Miguel hit a meteora on Ryan and Wentz followed up with a swanton bomb, but Ryan kicked out. Wentz got Ryan in a DDT, but Nick tried to countered with a reverse facelock, so Miguel came off the top with a blockbuster which took everybody out. Randomly, the crowd started chanting “We Want Truth!”

Ryan hit a jumped DDT on Miguel for another near fall. The Rascals double teamed the Nemeths. Miguel hit Ryan with a spinebuster, but Nic dove in to break up Wentz coming off the top rope. Nic hi the Danger Zone on Miguel, and Ryan hit the Big Hollywood Ending and got the pinfall.

Match Result: TNA Tag Team Champions The Nemeths defeated The Rascalz to retain

– Eric Young interrupted a TNA Merch promo in the back to complain about a NXT guy holding the TNA title. Sami Callihan confronted Young before security ejected him.

Santino Marella (w/ Arianna Grace) vs. Robert Stone (w/ Tessa Blanchard & Victoria Crawford) with the winner becoming TNA Director of Authority

As noted earlier, Matt Cardona is special referee.

The toy sheriff’s badge that Robert Stone was running around with represents the “TNA Director of Authority” since Cardona held it up at the start of the match, and then presented it to both guys like the ref would a championship belt in a title match.

Cardona found brass knuckles on Stone during the pat down. Santino then offered up a pipe he snuck into the his tights before Cardona can pat him down. That was a funny spot.

Marella took Stone down to the mat early. The fight went out to the floor and into the crowd, and Marella crotched Stone onto a ring barricade. When the fight gets back to the ring, Blanchard and Crawford tripped up Marella so Stone could get the advantage. Crawford and Blanchard attacked Marella from the floor whenever Cardona’s back was turned and it did get great hit. The crowd even chanted “Ref you suck!” at Cardona.

Stone dropped an elbow off the middle rope for two. Marella escaped a chinlock with a back suplex, then hit a pair of vertical suplexes. Santino pulled out the Cobra, but Tessa Blanchard took it from him and ran up the ramp. This distraction allowed Stone to roll up Marella. Stone’s feet were on the ropes, so Cardona refused to count. This lead to a shoving match between Stone and Cardona, and Marella got a near fall off of that.

Blanchard tried to slip Stone the badge, but Cardona wouldn’t let him use it. But this distraction allowed Crawford to hit Maralla with an axe kick, and Stone got a near fall off of that. Santino started to come back, but Crawford and Blanchard distracted the ref again and Stone hit a low blow for another near fall. Stone went up to the top for something, and Arianna Grace tried to pull Stone off, but had trouble with her top so it took her three tries to get it done. Arianna then gave her father a “back-up” Corbra. Santino hit the Cobra on Stone to win the match and the toy sheriff’s badge.

The crowd chanted “You still got it!” for Santino. Santino thanked the fans for their support.

Match Results: Santino Marella defeated Robert Stone to become undisputed TNA Director of Authority

TNA World Champion Trick Williams defends against Elijah

TNA’s great defender here, Elijah, has been in the company for four months after being in WWE for 10 years. While the crowd is chanting “Whoop that Trick” for Williams, Tom Hannifan went on an indignant rant about how Williams didn’t come to work after winning the TNA title, but Kenny Omega and Christian Cage (the AEW guys that won the TNA title) did.

Elijah beat up Williams around the ring arpon while the crowd chanted “What’s Up?” and “We want Truth!” Members of the TNA roster were shown watching the match in the back. Elijah did an “Old School” rope walk into a knee on Williams for a near fall. Williams hit a spinning big boot on Elijah to take control.

Williams dropped Elijah with a flapjack for a near fall. Elijah blocked a chop from Williams but Williams hit a flying clothesline for two. Williams locked Elijah in a cravat. Elijah escaped but Williams hit a leg lariat. The crowd chanted “Trick-NA” for Williams. Williams hit a sit-out Death Valley Driver for a near fall. Elijah ducked a leg lariat and hit a flying clothesline. Elijah hit a big boot, then a charging forearm in the corner. Elijah hit a twist and shout for a near fall. Elijah hit a spinning neckbreaker for a near fall. Williams came back with an uranage for a near fall.

Elijah countered a piledriver with a helicopter slam for a near fall. They exchanged some near falls and Williams got Elijah with a pop-up uppercut. On the floor, Elijah caught Williams with another twist and shout neck breaker. Back in the ring, Elijah came off the top with an elbow for a near fall. Elijah set up Williams for superplex, but Elijah fell off the ropes as AJ Francis made his way to ringside.

While Elijah and Williams struggled, Francis tripped up Elijah and Williams got a near fall. Elijah took out Francis with a tope, and they brawled around ringside. Elijah sent Francis into the ringpost. Back in the ring, Williams grabbed Elijah’s guitar, wound up to hit him but missed. Elijah got the guitar and threatened to hit Williams, but this was just a distraction for Francis to feed Williams the title belt. Williams hit Elijah with the title belt and got a near fall. Williams sent Elijah into an exposed turnbuckle, then hit the Trick Shot (a running knee) and got the pinfall.

Match Result: TNA World Champion Trick Williams defeated Elijah to retain (16:18)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Match Result: Eric Young defeated JDC and Zachary Wentz

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Match Result: Steve Maclin defeated Eddie Edwards and Ace Austin

Moose defeated Sidney Akeem in an Open Challenge

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Match Result: Moose defeated Sidney Akeem

Steve Maclin Approaches Eric Young Ahead Of TNA International Title Tilt

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Celebrities In The House At TNA Unbreakable

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

Joe Hendry & Masha Slamovich defeated Frankie Kazarian & Tessa Blanchard

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

More Celebrities In The Crowd At TNA Unbreakable

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

Chris Bey Appears Live At TNA Unbreakable

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sami Callihan defeated Mance Warner in a Barbed Wire Massacre match

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Match Result: Sami Callihan defeated Mance Warner

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

It’s main event time!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Match Result: Steve Maclin defeated AJ Francis and Eric Young

BROKEN Matt Hardy Invites The Nemeth Brothers To The Hardy Compound

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

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

TNA Impact live results: Masha Slamovich vs. NXT’s Jacy Jayne, Joe Hendry appearance

Posted on by Matt Boone

The women of WWE NXT take over tonight’s TNA Impact.

In a non-title match, NXT’s Jacy Jayne makes her promotional in-ring debut as she takes on reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich in non-title action. Jayne attacked Slamovich last week after the champ’s confrontation with Tessa Blanchard.

NXT’s Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley will team up against Knockouts Tag Team Champions Ash & Heather by Elegance in non-title action in Dolin’s TNA debut.

TNA World Champion Joe Hendry will be on hand as we learn what’s next for him while former TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth will take on Leon Slater as the fallout from Sacrifice continues.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. will team with Laredo and Octagon Jr. against KC Navarro, AJ Francis and Frankie Kazarian. It will be Guerrero’s first TNA bout since 2019.

Former TNA World Champion Eric Young will battle former X-Division Champion Ace Austin to round out the card.

**********
Ash & Heather By Elegance (w/ George Iceman) defeated Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley

The usual recap video package covering highlights from last week’s show airs to get things started. We then see George Iceman in the ring being booed. He cuts a heel promo before doing his usual elegant personal ring introduction for TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions Ash & Heather By Elegance.

After the champions settle inside the squared circle for the opening contest, the entrance tune for their opposition hits. Out comes WWE NXT duo Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley. The bell sounds and non-title Knockouts tag-team action gets underway.

Ash and Dolin kick things off for their respective teams. “The Liaison” between WWE NXT and TNA, Arianna Grace, is on special guest commentary for this one. Ash talks some trash out of the gate, and gets dumped on her noggin’ by Doin for her efforts.

Paxley tags in and hits a picture-perfect dropkick for a two-count. Heather tags in as well, and she ends up shifting the offensive momentum into her team’s favor. As she takes over control in the ring, another WWE NXT duo, Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend, are shown watching on via a monitor backstage.

After Paxley lands some Kawada-style rapid-fire kicks, Dolin tags in. Heather immediately takes over, however, and tags in Ash, who picks up where she left off, putting the boots to Dolin in the corner. She tags Heather back in, and she blasts a groggy Dolin with some big forearm shots.

Heather backs up and charges at Dolin, but runs into a big boot. She tags Paxley in. Ash tags in as well. It is Paxley, however, who takes the hot tag and comes in with a ton of energy, taking it to Ash. She hits a big suplex and a standing elbow drop for a close two-count.

Iceman pushes Paxley off the top turnbuckle, which the referee doesn’t see. Heather gets involved as well, which sets Ash up for the top-rope Rarified Air finisher for the pinfall on Paxley, giving her team the win. Afterwards, the Elegance duo’s beefcake brings their cake over, but Dolin and Paxley shove their faces in it.

Gia Miller Interviews Leon Slater

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with her guest, Leon Slater. She brings up what happened with Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth last week on the show. She also asks about his match against Nic later in the show. Slater vows to get his get-back. The show heads into a commercial break.

The Aztec Warriors (Laredo Kid & Octagon Jr.) & Chavo Guerrero Jr. defeated First Class (AJ Francis & KC Navarro) & Frankie Kazarian

When the show returns, First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro are making their ring entrance, in progress. Their music dies down and the entrance tune for their partner hits, bringing out the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” Frankie Kazarian.

The Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy owner settles inside the squared circle and his music dies down. The theme for their opposition hits, and out comes The Aztec Warriors team of Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr., as well as their partner, Chavo Guerrero Jr.

The El Paso legend gets a big pop coming out, and he kicks things off for his team. Kazarian does the same for his. Chavo establishes the early offensive lead, and the crowd is loving it. All hell breaks loose moments later, as all six end up in the ring.

The Aztec Warriors and Chavo hit high spots as the show heads to a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, First Class takes over after Navarro pulls some behind-the-referee’s back shenanigans. Francis takes over and taunts the crowd.

Octagon tries fighting back, but Francis splashes him in the corner. Francis hits the World’s Strongest double-slam on Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr. simultaneously for a close two-count, as the pin is broken up. Navarro tags in and picks up where Francis left off, taking it to one-half of the Aztec Warriors.

Laredo Kid eventually gets the hot tag for his team, and he immediately shifts the offensive momentum back in his team’s favor. The crowd comes to life in the background. Navarro and Kazarian try and double-team him, but he ends up handling them both by himself. Fans chant “We want Chavo!”

And Laredo obliges. Chavo gets the tag and the crowd explodes as he hops over the ropes and goes to work. The pro wrestling legend hits any-and-everything that moves, easily handling Francis, Navarro and Kazarian single-handedly. Chavo hits the Three Amigos on Navarro as fans chant “Eddie! Eddie!”

Kazarian stops him before he can hit the third, so he takes over and hits two of the Three Amigos on him instead. When he goes for the third on him, Francis cuts him off. Francis does the Eddie Guerrero shoulder-shimmy to taunt the crowd, but Chavo makes him pay for it.

He hits the Three Amigos on him, and isn’t stopped before completing all three on the big man. The crowd loved it and immediately broke out in a loud “Eddie! Eddie!” chant. The Aztec Warriors go to the top on the same corner and hit a double-dive onto Francis and Kazarian on the floor.

Chavo hits the Gory Bomb on Navarro in the ring. He then heads to the top-rope and hits the Eddie Guerrero Frogsplash for the pinfall victory. Great feel-good stuff here in El Paso. The show heads to another commercial break.

War Of Words: Sami Callihan & Mance Warner

When the show returns, a Rosemary vignette in a very Rosemary-style, airs, and then a war of words between Mance Warner and Sami Callihan takes place.

Santino Marella points out how both are handcuffed and there are a ton of security present to ensure nothing physical happens. The two sit on opposite sides of a table, with Steph De Lander on Warner’s side, and they speak their respective pieces.

De Lander also speaks up and they talk about possession being nine-tenths the law when discussing their TNA Digital Media Championship. Santino Marella speaks up and says they need to promise not to damage anymore company property or put any civilians in danger.

Sami calls De Lander a skank. She throws a drink in his face, which he can’t cover due to his hands being cuffed. Santino yells at them to leave. Warner and De Lander profess their love for each other and share a sloppy kiss while doing exactly that. After this wraps up, the show heads to another commercial time out.

Masha Slamovich defeated Jacy Jane

The show returns to the theme of WWE NXT Superstar Jacy Jane playing. She makes her way out and heads to the ring for the second TNA vs. WWE NXT showdown of the evening.

Jane settles inside the squared circle and her music dies down. The theme for her opposition hits, and out comes the reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich. Tom Hannifan mentions on commentary that she is over 100 days for her current run with the title.

After the bell sounds, Jane does a snarky wave to Slamovich from the opposite corner, before charging at her. The two lock up and push-and-pull on the ropes all around the ring. They continue their lock-up back in the center and Slamovich slams Jane down.

Jane locks back up on the mat and they roll around without breaking it. They stand back up, and Jane yanks Slamovich back down to the mat by her hair. Slamovich takes back over and hits a big kick and sends Jane out to the floor. She hits a dive through the ropes onto Jane at ringside.

Moments later, a similar situation presents itself, however this time when Slamovich goes for a big dive through the ropes to the floor, she is met with a big shot from Jane. After a big follow-up from Jane, she looks into the camera and vows that she’s going to take over TNA.

On that note, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break as Jane adds to her offensive lead back inside the ring. When the show returns, Slamovich begins fighting from underneath back into competitive form. Jane goes for a punt kick from the ring apron to Slamovich on the floor.

Slamovich blocked it and pulled Jane onto her shoulders. She slams her front-ways face-first onto the ring apron from the floor. Back inside the ring, Slamovich builds on her offensive lead en route to hitting a Snow Plow for the pinfall victory.

After the match, Tessa Blanchard, who was banned from ringside during the bout, runs out and beats down Slamovich until Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee run out to make the save, chasing her off and checking on the TNA Knockouts Champion. The show heads to another break.

Eric Young (w/ The Northern Armory) defeated Ace Austin

When the show returns, a vignette airs showing Mike Santana being out for revenge on Mustafa Ali. Back inside the Impact Zone, the theme for Eric Young hits. He makes his way out to the ring with The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus.

Young settles inside the squared circle for a first-time-ever singles showdown against Ace Austin in the next match of the evening. After Young’s music dies down, the ABC entrance tune hits to bring out his opponent. He joins him in the ring and the bell sounds to get things started.

The two lock-up and Young establishes the early offensive lead, focusing on attempting to isolate the arm of Austin and work it over. He stops and looks directly into the camera to send a message to Steve Maclin. The Northern Armory get involved behind the referee’s back and Young continues to dominate.

Young continues to tie the referee up to allow The Northern Armory duo at ringside to inflict additional damage to Austin behind the official’s back. The commentary duo of Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt sell home the fact that it is Young proving to Maclin what true trust looks like.

Austin begins fighting back. He hits Click-Click-Boom to shift the offensive momentum in his favor. He climbs up on Young in the corner and hits the ten-punch sequence, with the fans counting along with each shot that lands. Austin hits a signature move for a close two-count.

Austin comes closer and closer to finishing Young off, but ultimately another dastardly demonstration of what true trust looks like from Young and The Northern Armory duo lead to Young taking over again. Young hits a big piledriver to finish Austin off for the win. The show heads to another break.

Musical Performances & Fights From Joe Hendry, Elijah & Frankie Kazarian

The show returns to the familiar sounds of the smash viral hit, “I Believe in Joe Hendry.” With that said, the crowd comes alive and sings along as the TNA World Champion makes his way to the ring in his trademark silky-blue button-up shirt.

His music dies down and the “We Believe!” chants pick up. Hendry begins, “Say his name, and he appears. Your TNA World Champion is here in El Paso, Texas! And it was right here in Texas that I became the champ, and now everybody wants to know what is next for the TNA World Championship.”

Hendry reminds everyone he is willing to defend his title against anyone from any company, all someone has to do is pick up the phone and tell Santino Marella they want a shot at the champion. The familiar sounds of the guitar strum of Elijah is heard after he says that.

Elijah comes to the ring and tells Hendry he is not coming out here because he is the next title challenger. He assures the champ that he too “believes in Joe Hendry.” Elijah assures him he can trust him. He says they’ve become friends. He knows Hendry’s favorite color is blue and that he likes classic movies.

He then goes on to suggest he perform the favorite song of Hendry from a movie he loves, Toy Story. He suggests they sing “You’ve Got A Friend In Me.” Elijah begins singing, Randy Newman-voice-and-all. The crowd sings along. Everyone is into it, so of course, Frankie Kazarian comes out to break up the fun.

Kazarian heads to the ring insisting no one wants to see “this Hall and Oats nonsense.” He settles inside the squared circle with a guitar of his own strapped around himself. He tells Hendry and Elijah they are legitimately accomplished musicians, but everybody knows “real men play bass guitar.”

Kazarian plays La Cucaracha on his bass for the El Paso crowd, who responds with loud “You suck!” chants. Kazarian plays another offensive song aimed at ridiculing the local crowd, and he gets the reaction one would expect for doing so. Hendry stands up for the crowd and tells Kazarian it’s time he leave.

Kazarian speaks up and tells Hendry he knows he doesn’t trust Elijah, and tells Elijah that he knows he secretly hates Hendry’s guts. He tells them they need to be men for once and skip past all the nonsense and just beat the crap out of each other now. They beat up Kazarian instead, and then sing “Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye.” Once this wraps up, the show heads into another commercial break.

Nic Nemeth defeated Leon Slater

It’s main event time!

After matches are announced for next week’s episode of the show (see below), things head back to the ring for the final match of this week’s program. Nic Nemeth’s entrance tune hits and out comes “The Wanted Man” himself with his little brother Ryan Nemeth.

The rookie sensation of TNA, Leon Slater, makes his way out next. The bell sounds and the main event of the evening gets underway. Nemeth takes the early offensive lead, stopping to taunt Slater and the crowd. Slater gets one big move in and takes the time to lean down and taunt Nemeth in return.

Slater blasts Nemeth with a big move off the ropes and then follows-up with a spinning elbow that sends the former TNA World Champion to the floor. Slater hits his trademark running turning dive over the ring post to the floor, splashing on Nemeth as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, we see Nemeth regained the offensive lead during the break. The crowd is jeering and booing as Nemeth slowly and arrogantly controls his younger opposition. Slater begins firing up and taking over. He struggles, however, to find a way to finish off the pro wrestling legend.

Nemeth slows Slater’s momentum down, taking out the knee of the young rising star. Slater is essentially on one leg now, with another bum wheel dragging next to him as he tries once more to fire up for another comeback.

“The Wanted Man” cuts it short and looks to try and finish Slater off, only for Slater to keep finding a way to hang in there. Nemeth brings Slater up to the top and climbs up after him. Slater fights him off and knocks him down. Slater teases a Swanton 450, but Nemeth crotches him instead.

Nemeth then follows that up with a super-plex. Nemeth tunes up the band in the corner, timing Slater for a superkick, but Slater avoids it and counters with a Twist of Slate. He climbs to the top-rope and leaps for his Swanton 450 splash, only to land on Nemeth’s raised knees.

Nemeth goes for the immediate cover, but somehow Slater kicks out. Nemeth looks for Danger Zone, but Slater avoids it. Ryan Nemeth grabs at Slater from ringside, but Slater kicks him off. The brief distraction was enough to set Nic up for another attempt at his Danger Zone finisher.

This time, Nemeth hits it and scores the pinfall for the main event victory. After the match, Ryan Nemeth joins his big brother in the ring to put the boots to Slater. The iconic sounds of The Hardys theme hits and out comes the TNA World Tag-Team Champions Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy.

The Nemeth Brothers run off. Matt gets on the microphone and brings up Nic and Ryan calling themselves the best brother team in wrestling. Matt says they aren’t medically cleared yet, but challenges The Nemeth Brothers to face them at TNA Rebellion 2025. The Hardys tune hits again and the crowd roars as this week’s show wraps up on that note.

Next Week (4/3/2025):
– Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jane & TBA vs. Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich
– Frankie Kazarian vs. Elijah
– We’ll hear from The Hardys
– Steve Maclin vs. TBA

**********
Masha Slamovich, Tessa Blanchard & Jacy Jane Kick Things Off

After a recap video package looking back at TNA Sacrifice airs, the show opens inside a jam-packed El Paso County Coliseum with TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich coming to the ring. She gives Cora Jade props for coming to fight, but says it wasn’t enough.

She claims she’s on a new mission to prove she is the best champion in all of pro wrestling. She says her belt proves it, and she’ll defend it against anyone, anytime, anywhere. She says, “At Rebellion …” but before she can finish, Tessa Blanchard makes her way out.

Blanchard tells Slamovich she beat Jade, which is fine, but Blanchard could do the same in her sleep. She says it’s time she beats her and take what’s hers. As she continues taking, out of nowhere, Slamovich is attacked from behind by WWE NXT Superstar Jacy Jane.

A ton of officials hit the ring to break things up. As they do, the theme for Santino Marella hits and out comes TNA’s “Director of Authority” to a big pop and chants of his name. He tells Jane this isn’t how you conduct yourself in TNA. He says next week it’ll be Jane vs. Slamovich.

Santino turns and tells Blanchard that the world doesn’t revolve around her. He says Blanchard will be banned from ringside during the Jane-Slamovich showdown next week. After this wraps up, the show heads into the first commercial break of the evening.

When the show returns, a fired up Santino approaches “The Liaison” Arianna Grace and says he has to know ahead of time about things like this. She swears she didn’t know Jane was coming, and that she only knew of the same surprise Santino knows about for later in the show.

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

Back inside the Impact Zone, the theme for Eric Young hits and out he comes accompanying The Northern Armory duo of Judas Icarus and Travis Williams to the ring for the first match of the evening. He joins the gang on special guest commentary for this one.

Out next comes their opponents, The Rascalz duo of Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel. The bell sounds and things get officially off-and-running with Wentz and Icarus. Wentz takes the early offensive lead, however, Icarus tags in Williams and The Northern Armory settle into the offensive lead.

After several minutes on the defensive end of things, Wentz finally fights back into competitive form and gets the tag to Wentz. The two hit a back-to-back double-team high spot sequence, leading to Miguel scoring the pinfall. Eric Young comes to get involved afterwards until Ace Austin runs out with a chair.

Gia Miller Interviews Xia Brookside, Rosemary Interrupts

The show heads to another commercial break after the tag bout wraps up. When it returns, footage is shown of Rosemary spraying Xia Brookside in the eyes with the poison mist last week. Backstage live, Gia Miller introduces her guest at this time — Xia Brookside.

She asks how her eyes are. Brookside said the doctors told her that her eyes are fine, but she can still feel it. Gia asks her about nearly using a chain as a weapon, something very out of character for her. She says she always tries to fight fair, but then things like this happens.

Brookside says she knows Rosemary is trying to get into her head. As she continues talking, she is cut off by Rosemary in a video on the monitor behind her. Rosemary says Xia is finally starting to understand. She brings up Xia hesitating against Savannah Evans.

She tells Xia to get a partner and meet us in the ring. “We’ve got a little surprise for you!” Brookside tells Gia she will take her revenge tonight and that she has the perfect partner in mind.

First Class Penthouse With AJ Francis, KC Navarro & Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Inside the Impact Zone, the theme for First Class hits and out comes AJ Francis and KC Navarro to a chorus of boos from the El Paso crowd, as it’s time for the latest installment of the First Class Penthouse. They babble for only a few minutes before they are interrupted by Chavo Guerrero Jr.

The legend comes out and banters back-and-forth with them until quickly another theme hits and Frankie Kazarian comes out. AJ Francis asks what the hell is going on. Great question that could apply to any First Class Penthouse segment. Kazarian tells Chavo he remembers him costing he and Christopher Daniels the tag titles in 2012.

After they go back-and-forth for a bit, The Aztec Warriors duo of Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr. come out and a lucha tag bout is made for next week’s show, with the Aztec Warriors and Chavo taking on First Class and Kazarian. This madness wraps up and the show heads into another commercial time out.

Mike Santana defeated Mustafa Ali via Count Out

The show returns, the theme for Mustafa Ali hits and out he comes with The Cabinet banned from ringside for a TNA Sacrifice rematch. Mike Santana’s music hits next and out he comes through the crowd amped up and ready for some get-back.

As soon as they are in arm’s reach, Santana goes after him and hits a big dive on the floor. The bell hasn’t even sounded yet to get this officially started. Ali fights back, but Santana sends him flying onto and across the timekeepers table.

Ali tries fighting back and focusing his attack on the injured arm of Santana. The bell eventually sounds to make things official. After just a few more minutes of back-and-forth action not really going Ali’s way, he decides to walk out on the match.

Mustafa stops by Hannifan and Rehwoldt and talks into their headset, saying he is the one addiction that Santana will never be able to conquer. He walks off through the crowd waving and smiling at Santana as the referee counts him out. Santana gets the win by count out. The show heads into another commercial break.

Ryan Nemeth & His “Big Brother!” Nic Nemeth Explain Their Actions

When the show returns, Ryan Nemeth makes his way to the ring. He talks about his “Big Brother!” before calling himself the greatest brother in the world. He says Nic Nemeth finally did the right thing. He then introduces his big brother, whom he calls the best wrestler in the world.

“The Wanted Man” makes his way out to a ton of heat and boos from the El Paso crowd. Nic comes out with a similar John Cena heel face. Expressionless. No remorse for his actions. Fans chant “Hardy! Hardy!” as he settles in the ring. Nic begins, “They ain’t coming.”

Nic says “if everyone would shut up for a second, I’d like to say a few words.” He goes on to talk about how people have been talking about TNA again for about the past year. He connects that to when he arrived on the scene, and brings up The Hardys sneakily coming in and taking credit.

Leon Slater comes out and calls them crazy. He says someone needs to step up next week, and that he’s going to beat Nemeth’s ass right now. A brawl breaks out. Nemeth beats Slater down, leaving him lying in the ring. He and Ryan walk off as the show heads to another commercial break.

Xia Brookside & Lei Ying Lee defeated Rosemary & Savannah Evans

The show returns inside the Impact Zone to Rosemary’s theme playing. The red lights come on and out she comes to the ring. She settles inside and the entrance tune for her partner plays. Out comes Savannah Evans.

After the two heels make their way out, the theme for Xia Brookside plays and out she comes. She settles in the ring and then the lights go out. When they come back on, Lei Ying Lee’s name appears on the big screen. The crowd couldn’t have reacted less.

She makes her way out and some respectful cheers spread throughout the El Paso crowd. The bell sounds and Brookside and Rosemary kick things off for their respective teams. Rosemary decides against it and tags in Evans. Brookside shows her fiery side, taking it right to Evans.

Evans blasts Brookside with a big shot and tags Rosemary back in. Brookside fires up again and takes over, hitting Broken Wings on Rosemary in the corner. She follows up with a DDT for a two-count. Lei tags in, but she too finds herself mostly on the defensive.

After some more back-and-forth action, Rosemary accidentally sprays Evans with the mist. Brookside follows up. Lei goes to show off her strength, picking up Evans, but she appeared to drop her. She hits her Thunderstruck kick for the win. The show heads to another commercial break.

Championship Celebration By Elegance Interrupted By Multiple WWE NXT Stars

The show returns to George Iceman in the ring with a neck brace on. He introduces the new TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions Ash & Heather by Elegance. The duo make their way out to their Championship Celebration by Elegance, complete with a “$4,000 cake” and some “beefcake models.”

As Ash and Heather drone on, Ash demands her cake be brought over. She kneels down to make a wish, but the lights go out instead. WWE NXT Superstars Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson “cross the line,” coming out and telling the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions that they are the best team in the women’s scene, regardless of promotion.

While they bicker back-and-forth, they are cut off by the entrance tune for former TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions Spitfire. Jody Threat and Dani Luna come to the ring wanting their immediate rematch. As they all talk, even more music plays. Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley “cross the line” and say they want a shot at the titles as well.

Ash throws a fit. Gigi tells her to kiss her ass. A big brawl breaks out with all of the ladies. Security rushes to the scene to break things up. TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella’s theme hits and out he comes to another monster pop. Next week it’ll be Ash & Heather vs. Gigi and Paxley. Spitfire are banned from ringside. Jackson and Legend are banned as well.

Jackson and Legend beat down some of the security. They get in Santino’s face and intimidate him. Arianna Grace comes out and says he might not have authority over him, but she does. She says there’s still banned from ringside next week. The show heads to another commercial break.

Mance Warner defeated Magno

When the show returns, Mance Warner’s theme hits and out he comes accompanied by the TNA Digital Media Championship-toting Steph De Lander. They head to the ring, where Warner will be in action in the next match of the evening.

His opponent, already in the ring, is Magno. He is introduced as from El Paso, TX., and gets a good pop as a result. The bell sounds and things get officially off-and-running with a bang, as Warner runs over Magno with a big lariat.

Seconds later Warner runs over Magno with another big shot. He follows up with a knee strike and after all of two minutes, maximum, Warner picks up the easy squash match victory. Poor Magno.

Steve Maclin Refuses To Join The Northern Armory

A video airs with Steve Maclin talking as quick-cut clips are shown of his recent interactions with Eric Young and The Northern Armory. He makes it clear that he didn’t like the look he saw in Young’s eyes, that he never wanted or needed his help, and that he will not join The Northern Armory.

Joe Hendry & Elijah defeated The System (Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards)

It’s main event time!

The theme for The System hits and out comes Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers, accompanied by Alisha Edwards. The trio head to the ring for the final match of the evening, a tag-team tilt in the main event.

After they settle inside the squared circle, the theme for the first of their two opponents hits, and out comes Elijah. He settles in the ring with his guitar in-hand, but before he can strum or play anything, the viral smash hit, “I Believe in Joe Hendry” hits and the crowd goes bonkers as the TNA World Champion emerges.

The bell sounds and Hendry and Myers kick things off for their respective teams. Hannifan points out today marks the 60th day of Hendry’s world title reign. Hendry takes the early offensive lead over Myers, showing off his power with a spinning powerslam.

Edwards tags in, but he doesn’t fare any better. Elijah tags in and takes over, picking up where Hendry left off. Hendry joins him in the ring when Myers tries to interfere. Both members of The System are knocked to the floor. Hendry and Elijah stand tall in the ring as the show heads to a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, The System are shown taking over, thanks to interference and distractions by Alisha Edwards at ringside. Elijah is kept isolated in the ring and away from his corner so he can’t make the much-needed tag to Hendry. He end up blasting Edwards with a big shot that buys him some time.

Elijah makes it to his corner for the tag to Hendry, just as Edwards tags in Myers. Hendry takes the hot tag and hits the ring with a ton of energy. The crowd comes to life as Hendry hits a pair of Fall Away Slams before doing his big dramatic head-turn.

He leads the crowd in a “We will rock you!” stomp-stomp-clap sequence as he looks to finish things off. Edwards hits the ring and knocks Elijah off the apron. Hendry is hit with a big spear by Myers for a close two-count. Edwards hits a splash on Hendry in the corner.

Edwards goes for the Back-Pack Stunner into a System Overload, but Hendry avoids it and counters with a Standing Ovation thanks to help from Elijah. Hendry goes for the follow-up cover and scores the pinfall to pick up the victory for his team. The two celebrate as Hendry’s theme plays. That’s how this week’s show wraps up.

Next Week:
* Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley vs. Ash & Heather By Elegance
* The Aztec Warriors & Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. First Class & Frankie Kazarian

First Class (AJ Francis & KC Navarro) defeated The Aztec Warriors (Laredo Kid & Octagon Jr.)

Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us into the sold out El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, TX., and then immediately send things down to the ring for the first Countdown pre-show match of the evening. The Aztec Warriors team of Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr. make their way to the ring.

First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro come out cutting a heel promo, but the crowd can’t hear them, so they break out in a loud “WE CAN’T HEAR YOU!” chant. The bell sounds and Navarro and Octagon kick things off for their respective teams. Octagon hits a turning splash off the ropes.

Kid tags in, and Navarro takes over as Hannifan runs down the lineup for the PPV card, announcing that Lucha Rules has been added to the six-man with The Rascalz and Ace Austin against the NXT trio of Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe. Francis tags in and takes over, beating down Kid.

After a comeback from the babyface lucha duo, we see a thumb to an eye and Navarro faking an injury before hitting his Blessing in Disguise finisher for the pinfall victory.

Tessa Blanchard Punks Out “The Liaison”

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews “The Liaison” between TNA and NXT, Arianna Grace. She babbles about nonsense until she is confronted by Tessa Blanchard, who isn’t in the mood for her happy-go-lucky personality. She vows to beat down Lei Ying Lee later, and tells Grace to walk away and go do something useful.

The System With A Message Ahead Of Tonight’s Steel Cage Match

Backstage, we hear the annoying voice of Alisha Edwards saying her usual catchphrase. “Do you wanna know something?!” The System members, along with The Colons, then take turns talking, explaining how they’re going to cause carnage en route to victory in their ten-man steel cage main event tonight.

Ryan Nemeth With An Update On His Big Brother

Inside the building, Ryan Nemeth’s theme music hits. “The Hollywood Hunk” comes out in a suit and stops at the top of the stage. He gets on the microphone. “My big brother returns tonight!” That was it. Hannifan and Rehwoldt introduce a video package promoting the steel cage main event later tonight.

Mance Warner defeated Sami Callihan in a Street Fight

As Hannifan and Rehwoldt run down the lineup for the PPV card, they announce that the Tessa Blanchard vs. Lei Ying Lee match will kick off the show. It appears two others have a different idea, as Sami Callihan and Mance Warner are shown in the midst of a wild brawl backstage.

The camera catches up with them as they fight their way into the arena through the crowd. They make it to the ring, where Callihan throws a couple of trash cans, a couple of chairs and other weapons in the ring. Fans chant “We want tables!”

The referee calls for the bell and with two minutes left in the pre-show, this Street Fight appears to be officially underway. As Callihan powerbombs Warner off the ring apron through a table on the floor, Hannifan wraps up the pre-show and the match continues at the top of the PPV, which starts now.

At the top of the PPV, we see Callihan beating Warner down and then grabbing a piece of paper and slicing it on Warner’s mouth for a paper cut. Fans chant “Holy sh*t!” Callihan goes for a Cactus Driver on a trash can, but Warner counters and Donkey Kong’s Callihan onto the trash can instead.

Callihan fights back and hits a counter into a drop toe-hold onto a chair. Warner hits it throat first while it’s unfolded and sitting upright. Callihan has a staple gun. He allows Warner to get a weapon as well. Steph De Lander hands Warner a staple gun as well.

They have a staple gun duel to the delight of the sold out El Paso crowd. They end up stapling each other in the eyes at the same time for a deafening “Holy sh*t!” chant. They recover and get back to the staple gun duel part deux. Warner hits Callihan in the neck with a few shots.

Warner then grabs Callihan’s hand and starts stapling into his fingers. He has Callihan down but he takes his time and when he grabs Callihan’s hair and picks his head up, Callihan comes to life like a zombie in a horror movie with his staple gun pointed directly at Warner’s no-no zone.

Fans pop. Callihan shoots. “You sick f**k!” Callihan then yanks Warner’s tongue out and staples it to the top turnbuckle. Callihan slams Warner down and goes for the cover, but Warner kicks out. A thunderous “This is Awesome!” chant breaks out. Warner takes over and De Lander hands him a screwdriver.

He heads over to Callihan to use it, but Callihan comes to life and fights back, hitting a stunner out of nowhere for a close two count. Callihan has Warner down but De Lander throws powder in his eyes. Warner hits his finisher and covers Callihan for the win.

Tessa Blanchard defeated Lei Ying Lee

The regular cold open video package airs to get the pay-per-view started as planned following the impromptu street fight. McKenzie Mitchell is shown in the middle of the ring and she begins the formal pre-match introductions for the real opener.

El Paso’s own Krystall Poppin, a female hip-hop artist, comes out and performs live side-by-side with Tessa Blanchard, who is dressed up like her. She heads to the ring to a ton of boos and settles inside for her scheduled showdown against Lei Ying Lee.

The lights go out in the building and Lei Ying Lee begins making her elaborate ring entrance, complete with a fancy hat. She looks pumped up and ready for action. The bell sounds, but Blanchard stops and kneels down, doing somewhat of a Booker T pre-spinarooni pose as fans boo the hell out of her.

Blanchard settles into the early offensive lead. She taunts Lee and the crowd, which only serves to anger her smaller feisty opposition. Lee fights back with chops that gets the crowd on their feet. Blanchard takes back over and plays to the loud chants in the building.

Lee fights back with an airplane spin slam for a two-count. She hits a wild twisting brainbuster super-plex off the ropes for an incredibly close two-count. The crowd loudly booed at Blanchard’s kick out. Blanchard took over from there, hitting her Magnum finisher moments later for the win.

Gia Miller Interviews Joe Hendry, Nic Nemeth, Leon Slater, Elijah & The Hardys

Backstage, the babyface five-man team for tonight’s steel cage main event are interviewed by Gia Miller. Jeff Hardy starts, talking about being the ladder match king and vows to beat Moose and capture the TNA X-Division Championship.

The rest of the team then talks, with Nic Nemeth, Matt Hardy, Elijah and Leon Slater each getting a turn on the microphone. Joe Hendry wraps it up and then the team walks off. Ryan Nemeth comes into the picture and is all fired up.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) & Ace Austin defeated Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe in a Lucha Rules match

Back inside the building, the familiar sounds of Wes Lee’s theme hits. Out he comes accompanied by his partners for tonight’s multi-person match, Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe. Fans chant “NXT! NXT!” as the trio settle inside the squared circle for scheduled Lucha Rules trios action.

The lights in the building go out. The Rascalz appear in a cloud of smoke and “spraypaint” their names on the LED screens as their theme hits. Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel play to the crowd and their music dies down. ABC’s theme hits and out comes Ace Austin with a hand-spring. The three head to the ring.

Austin and Igwe kick things off for their respective teams, after it first appeared Lee was going to start the match off. Igwe tags in Dupont, who works over Austin. Austin tags in Miguel, who nails the big man sending him to the floor. Wentz takes over as the legal man in the ring.

Wentz hits a big splash for a two-count. The Rascalz go for stereo dives to the floor, but Igwe and Dupont catch them and slam them into the ring apron. Austin fights off both big guys by himself, only for Lee to attack him from behind and send him into the steel steps with authority.

After some more back-and-forth action, all hell breaks loose with all six guys. Austin hits some wild high spots from the ring apron to the floor. Things end up with Austin, Wentz and Miguel in the ring with Lee, who is on the mat with fans chanting “You f**ked up!” Wentz hits his finisher for the win.

Steve Maclin defeated Frankie Kazarian

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews “Bulletproof” Steve Maclin. He says much like Frankie Kazarian, he’s calling his shot now, and vows victory tonight. Inside the arena, Eric Young’s theme hits and he comes out to join Hannifan and Rehwoldt on special guest commentary for this one.

Young insists he’s got Maclin’s back like he said he did. Frankie Kazarian’s theme hits and out comes the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” with his Call Your Shot trophy in-hand. He heads out for the next match of the evening. He stops and jaws at the commentary desk and then settles inside the ring.

Maclin’s theme hits and out he comes in his Rick Steiner-style leather jacket. He eyes Young at the commentary desk before heading into the ring to a good pop from the crowd. The bell sounds to get things started.

Kazarian starts off in a commanding lead, dominating the offense for the first several minutes. Maclin eventually fights back into competitive form, but ends up stuck in a chicken wing from Kazarian. He’s stuck in the hold forever, rolling to the floor to try and escape, but Kazarian held on.

Eventually the referee separates the two. Kazarian gets some brass knuckles and gets ready to use them, but Eric Young pops up from the commentary desk and stops him. He takes them and drills Kazarian with them. Maclin, who didn’t see this, follows up with his K.I.A. for the win.

Ash & Heather By Elegance & George Iceman defeated Spitfire (Jody Threat & Dani Luna) in a three-on-two handicap match to capture the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna. The fired up TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions assures Miller that they don’t avoid fights, even if it’s a three-on-two match where the odds are against them.

Inside the arena, George Iceman, does the formal ring introductions for his teammates, Ash & Heather by Elegance. The crowd gives him the Dominik Mysterio / Don Callis treatment, but he forges ahead. He introduces the duo, who come out in Three Amigos-style ring gear.

Iceman gets a big reaction from the crowd upon taking his jacket off and showing his chicken-chest, while still wearing a bow-tie. The bell sounds and Ash and Luna kick things off for their respective teams. Ash establishes the early lead and then tags in Iceman.

Iceman hits a move off the ropes and then snatches up a wrist-lock. Luna fights back after Heather tags in. She tags in Threat and the two hit a double-team spot, shifting the offensive momentum into their favor. Iceman ends up creating a distraction, which allows Ash to take over control of the action.

Fans get on iceman’s case with a loud “Put a shirt on!” chant. He tags in and stomps away at an already grounded Luna in the corner. He goes for a third but she catches it and stands up. Ash and Heather attack, allowing Iceman to take over and tags back out.

After some more back-and-forth action, Threat fires up and hits double chops on both ladies. She goes for a double 6-1-9, but Iceman jumps on her back. She fights back and hits an airplane spin into a blue thunder bomb on Ash for a close two-count.

After some more Iceman shenanigans, Ash and Heather end up stealing the win to become the new TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions. After the match, the WWE NXT Meta-Four duo of Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson come out to a huge pop and stare down the new champions.

Mustafa Ali defeated Mike Santana

The pre-match video package airs to tell the story leading up to the next match of the evening, which features Mike Santana going one-on-one against Mustafa Ali. Ali makes his way out accompanied by The Great Hands duo of Jason Hotch and John Skyler, as well as Tasha Steelz.

Somebody named Adrian Ochoa is introduced and he handles the ring introduction for Mike Santana. Santana comes out in a lowrider car in a tip of the cap to the late, great El Paso legend, Eddie Guerrero. Fans chant Eddie’s name and Santana gets super fired up as a result.

The bell sounds and things get officially off-and-running in a hurry, with Santana charging at Ali. Santana hits the Three Amigos almost immediately into the match. The crowd loved it. Ali hit a big high spot from the ring to the floor, focusing on the arm Santana uses to hit his Spin The Block finisher.

Ali follows up with a submission on the same arm of Santana, clearly targeting it. Santana makes it to the ropes to break the hold. Santana ends up countering Ali in mid-air from the floor with a huge cutter, Randy Orton RKO-out-of-nowhere style. Ali smacked the unforgiving floor hard on the way down.

As the action continues, Santana continues to dominate, so The Great Hands hit the ring. Santana easily handles them. He has Ali down and out with a Buck-150. Steelz hops on the ring apron and distracts Santana. She slaps him.

Ali rolls him up and holds the ropes. The referee doesn’t see it. Ali wins. After the match, Ali grabs a cup of beer from a fan and sits on the ring apron and flashes an evil smile.

Masha Slamovich (c) defeated Cora Jade to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship

Now the video package airs to set the stage for our next match of the evening, which features a title on-the-line, as TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich defends against WWE NXT Superstar Cora Jade. Inside the building, “The Liaison” Arianna Grace settles in on guest commentary.

The theme music for Cora Jade hits and out comes the WWE NXT Superstar with a chance to make history as the first active WWE NXT Superstar to possibly win and become an active TNA title-holder.

Out next comes the reigning and defending TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich. When introduced as hailing from Russia, the crowd turns on Slamovich and openly cheers Jade. Jade attacks Slamovich before her introduction is finished to get things off with a bang.

After some back-and-forth action, Slamovich settles into the early offensive lead. Jade takes over and hits an insane destroyer on the ring apron outside of the ring ropes for a loud “Holy sh*t!” chant. Jade lets out a big scream when she’s unable to keep Slamovich down.

Slamovich fights back and hits Requiem for the win. With the victory, Slamovich retains the TNA Knockouts Championship. Hannifan and Rehwoldt tease Slamovich vs. Tessa Blanchard as the next program for the Knockouts title.

Moose (c) defeated Jeff Hardy in a Ladder Match to retain the TNA X-Division Championship

Highlights of Moose at WWE NXT Roadblock 2025 earlier this week are shown, and then the pre-match video package airs to set the stage for his TNA X-Division Championship defense in a ladder match against Jeff Hardy.

Inside the arena, the X-Division title is shown hanging above the ring. Hannifan says “hangs in the balance” for the first time in the match, a regular occurrence for ladder matches. The iconic theme for Jeff Hardy hits and the crowd goes bonkers as the pro wrestling legend makes his way to the ring.

Moose’s kick-ass entrance tune plays next and out comes The System leader, accompanied by Alisha Edwards. He settles in the ring and he and Jeff Hardy meet in the middle for an intense pre-match stare down. The bell sounds and off we go.

Fans loudly chant for Jeff as he goes after the much larger Moose straight out of the gate. A ladder is set up under the title in the ring, but not used. The action spills out to the floor, where Moose pulls ahead into the offensive lead. Fans chant “F**k you, Moose!” Hardy trips him up and takes over.

A loud “We want tables!” chant breaks out as Hardy heads under the ring for something specific. He pulls out the painted up ladder from the Full Metal Mayhem match from last year’s TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view in Detroit, MI.

He bounces the giant colorful ladder off of Moose’s dome. He lays it on Moose and leaps off the apron splashing onto it. Another loud “We want tables!” chant spreads as Hardy brings the colorful ladder into the ring and sets it up. Moose hits Jeff with a chair to stop his climb.

A ladder bridge is set up off the colorful ladder under the title, while laying across the middle turnbuckle. Moose powerbombs Jeff onto the ladder bridge so hard that it literally breaks off the rung on the colorful ladder it was laying on.

Moose heads out and pulls out a table for a big pop. Jeff climbs the ladder bridge and heads up the regular massive colorful ladder. He gets his hands on the belt, but is stopped by Moose, who is climbing across the ladder bridge himself now. Jeff hits Moose with a Twist of Fate off the ladder bridge.

Moose lays the table long-ways in the corner. He picks up a ladder, and while doing so, knocks a camera off the shoulder of a cameraman at ringside. The commentators point it out. Moose throws the ladder out to the floor. He rips Jeff’s shirt off while sitting him on the top-rope.

He climbs up after him and connects with a super-plex. He holds on and stands up. Jeff tries countering into a Twist of Fate, only for Moose to blast him with a Spear. Moose charges at Jeff, but he back body-drops him over the ropes and onto a ladder bridge off the ring apron.

On the floor, Hardy pulls another table out from under the ring and sets it up over Moose. He throws a chair at Moose. He hits a swanton off the top-rope onto Moose on the table, but barely connects, giving himself somewhat of a backwards whiplash effect.

Back in the ring, Jeff begins to climb but is stopped by Alisha Edwards, who whacks him with Kendra, the kendo stick. He climbs down and catches another swing by Alisha, countering and taking her out with a Twist of Fate. He turns around into a spear from Moose through a table in the corner. Moose climbs up and retrieves the TNA X-Division Championship for the win to retain.

Santino Marella Announces Match For Next Week’s TNA Impact

Backstage, a fired up Mike Santana approaches TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella. He says he’s done everything right and he tried to pay homage to Eddie Guerrero, only for Mustafa Ali to steal the win. Santino tells Santana he’s got a rematch against Ali this Thursday on TNA Impact.

He tells him that Tasha Steel and The Great Hands will be banned from ringside. Also announced for Thursday’s show, a taped episode from El Paso, is an appearance by Chavo Guerrero Jr. A video is shown declaring March 14 as TNA Day in El Paso, TX.

First Class Penthouse

Inside the building again, the theme for First Class hits. Out comes AJ Francis and KC Navarro to a First Class Penthouse setup. They pour each other a drink and head to the top of the entrance area.

“Thank you, thank you! Cheers!” They begin, before Francis does his usual Jay-Z “allow me to reintroduce myself” rip-off intro line. They babble about discounts on their new First Class merchandise at TNAMerch.com.

Finally they are interrupted by their opponents from earlier in the pre-show this evening. Out comes Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr. talking trash to them in Spanish. Francis tells them to speak English because they’re in America.

A brawl breaks out and is broken up. The Aztec Warriors theme plays and Francis freaks out at the production people for playing someone’s music besides his on the First Class Penthouse.

Joe Hendry, Nic Nemeth, Matt Hardy, Elijah & Leon Slater defeated The System (JDC, Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards) & The Colons (Eddie & Orlando Colon) in a Steel Cage match

It’s main event time!

The pre-match video package airs to set the stage for the big ten-man steel cage main event match here at TNA Sacrifice 2025. The video wraps up and out first comes Eddie Edwards representing The System and The Colons. He will start things off for his team.

Elijah’s theme hits and out he comes on a horse with his guitar in-hand. He asks who wants to “ride with Elijah” in El Paso, referencing the horse. The crowd pops. He sings a quick impromptu song and then heads into the cage-enclosed ring.

The bell sounds and the main event of the evening gets officially off-and-running. After a couple of minutes, a new member for The System and The Colons team will enter, due to Edwards earning his team the advantage with a win over Leon Slater on last night’s TNA Impact.

Elijah does well early on, but a finger to the eye from Edwards slows him down and allows The System member to take over. The countdown clock appears and winds down, and out comes Brian Myers. He and Edwards hit their double-team finisher on Elijah after a full minute of a one-sided beatdown.

The clock appears again and when it expires, Nic Nemeth’s theme hits. “The Wanted Man” comes out to even things up, but as Hannifan and Rehwoldt point out, with Elijah down and out right now, he too is walking into a two-on-one situation not in his favor.

Regardless, Nemeth handles both guys early on. The clock appears again and when it expires this time, The Colons theme hits and out comes Orlando Colon to make things a three-to-two advantage for The System and The Colons team. The clock appears and this time Leon Slater comes out.

Slater immediately helps even the odds and shifts the offensive momentum. A minute later, which goes by quick once again, the theme for The Colons hits once more and out comes Eddie Colon to give The System and The Colons team the one-man advantage for the next minute.

The iconic sounds of The Hardy Boyz theme hits next and out comes one-half of the reigning TNA World Tag-Team Champions, Matt Hardy, to even things back up. He hits a big Side Effect upon entering the cage. Fans loudly chant “Hardy! Hardy!”

Slater helps Hardy hit The Hardy Boyz’ Plot Twist finisher for a big pop. Moments later, the countdown clock appears again. When it expires, out comes the final member of The System and The Colons team, JDC. He enters the ring with a steel chair. The commentators point out there are no disqualifications.

Finally, the last countdown clock appears. “Say his name and he appears..” blares out of the house speakers, as the sold out crowd inside El Paso County Coliseum loudly sing along. The TNA World Champion Joe Hendry makes his way out, but The System and The Colons hold the cage door shut.

Hendry finally fights his way into the cage. The bell sounds again as now all ten men have entered the cage. Things continue now until the finish where one team are declared the winners. The crowd goes nuts as Hendry makes an immediate impact, hitting any-and-everything that moves.

Hendry hits a big fall-away slam off the ropes. He goes for the big dramatic turn, but is hit with a low-blow first. As the action continues, Ryan Nemeth makes his way out to ringside to a ton of boos. JDC and Edwards have Slater on the tip-top of the cage.

He knocks them both down and stands on the top of the cage. He hits an insane swanton 450 off the top of the cage, taking out a bunch of bodies below for an insanely loud “Holy sh*t!” chant. Slater goes for the cover, but it is delayed after a distraction from Ryan Nemeth at ringside.

Hannifan loses his mind on commentary. Nemeth hits Danger Zone. Myers is sent into the cage and then hit with a Standing Ovation by Hendry. Matt Hardy hits a Twist of Fate. He puts a steel chair around JDC’s neck and follows up with another Twist of Fate for the pinfall victory for his team.

As the winners celebrate as Hardy’s theme is playing, Hannifan and Rehwoldt begin wrapping up the show on commentary, when out of nowhere, Nic Nemeth hits Matt Hardy with his finisher out of the blue. Ryan Nemeth enters the cage and locks it behind him.

He and his big brother beat down Matt with a chair to the shock of the crowd in attendance. Ryan uses a chair and swings wildly anytime Hendry or anyone else tries to come through the door or climb up the cage wall.

Nic and Ryan continue beating Hardy down, throwing him into the cage wall and busting him open. That’s how TNA Sacrifice 2025 goes off the air.

Eddie Edwards vs. Leon Slater will determine who gets the man advantage in the aforementioned cage match.

Before they meet at Sacrifice, Mike Santana and former X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali will meet face-to-face for a summit.

The main card will be rounded out by NXT’s Wes Lee vs. Laredo Kid, Xia Brookside vs. Rosemary, and JDC vs. Cody Deaner.

**********
Eddie Edwards (w/ Alisha Edwards) defeated Leon Slater in a TNA Sacrifice Advantage Match

After the usual recap video package for last week’s show, the “Cross the Line” theme and intro video plays to get things started as always. Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us to the show as the camera shot settles inside the Impact Zone at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.

The System’s theme music hits and out comes the group to accompany Eddie Edwards onto the stage. They wish him well and head to the back. Edwards heads to the ring accompanied by Alisha Edwards and settles inside the squared circle for the opening match of the evening.

Leon Slater’s entrance tune hits and out comes the young talented prospect accompanied by his team for the TNA Sacrifice 2025 pay-per-view steel cage main event match on Friday night in El Paso, TX. They head to the back and Slater makes his way to the ring by himself.

As soon as Slater hits the ring, while still in his entrance gear and with his music still playing, Edwards tries to get the early jump. It backfires, however, as Slater sees it coming and counters. Slater jumps off to an early offensive lead in this TNA Sacrifice Advantage Match.

Slater hits a hurricanrana that sends Edwards sailing through the ropes, where he crashes and burns on the floor at ringside. On the floor, Edwards takes over and sends Slater crashing shoulder-first into the steel steps with authority. Back inside the ring, Edwards enjoys several minutes of offensive control.

The show heads into a mid-match commercial break as Edwards remains in a comfortable offensive lead. When the show returns, Slater fights back, but Edwards cuts his comeback short and hits a Blue Thunder Bomb for a close two-count.

Slater amps up for another comeback attempt, but again Edwards cuts it short. He sends Slater shoulder-first into the ring post from inside the ring, and then follows up by flattening Slater with his Boston Knee Party finisher for the win.

With the victory, Edwards has secured the advantage in the Steel Cage main event of TNA Sacrifice 2025 on Friday night. After the match, Hannifan and Rehwoldt run down matches still to come, and then the show heads into another commercial time out.

Mance Warner & Steph De Lander Taunt Sami Callihan

The show returns to Sami Callihan talking directly into the camera in fired-up fashion, ranting about how Mance Warner is lucky that Santino Marella put a no physicality clause ahead of their TNA Sacrifice match.

As Callihan continues to rant, he is blatantly taunted by Steph De Lander and Warner, who appear next to him and push and shove him, daring him to do something about it. Callihan again reminds Warner it’s only one more day.

Wes Lee defeated Laredo Kid

Back inside the Impact Zone, the familiar sounds of Wes Lee’s theme music hits and out comes the WWE NXT Superstar. He settles inside the squared circle while Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe hang out at ringside. Lee’s opponent, masked fan-favorite high-flyer Laredo Kid, makes his way out next.

The bell sounds and things get underway. Kid isolates Lee’s arm early on and cranks away at it. Lee flips and escapes, and then rolls out to the floor to re-group. As he does, Kid tries to baseball slide him, but he side-steps him and rolls back in the ring.

In the ring, Kid shoulder-blocks Lee down to the mat, hits the ropes and then hits a hurricanrana that sends Lee right back out to the floor. Kid leaps to the ring apron, back-kicks Lee and then springboards off the middle rope with a moonsault splash onto Lee on the floor.

Kid whacks Lee with an open-handed palm strike to the chest. He heads to the top-rope and leaps off, connecting with a picture-perfect cross-body splash for a close two-count. Lee catches Kid with a kick and takes over. He snarls in a tight close-up camera shot and then goes to work on Kid in the corner.

Lee hits a big brainbuster for a two-count. Kid fights back into competitive form, but ultimately Lee takes over and finishes him off with a Cardiac Kick. Afterwards, The Rascalz and Ace Austin come out and vow to close the chapter and send them back to NXT. “Smoke ’em if you got ’em! See you tomorrow night!”

Santino Marella Makes TNA Sacrifice Announcement

When the show returns, Spitfire come up complaining to Santino Marella. Also bugging the Director of Authority is Ash and Heather by Elegance and George Iceman.

The shot-caller for TNA announces a three-on-two match for TNA Sacrifice 2025 where Ash & Heather By Elegance and George Iceman take on Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna. Iceman freaks out that he has to wrestle.

Xia Brookside defeated Rosemary via Disqualification

Inside the Impact Zone, the theme for Xia Brookside hits and out comes the TNA Knockout for the next match of the evening. The lights go down and up come the dark red lights. Rosemary makes her way out and heads to the ring, creepy-crawling into the camera before the match gets underway.

As soon as the bell sounds, Rosemary bull-rushes Brookside into the corner by the face. Brookside fights her way free and dropkicks Rosemary. Brookside comes off the ropes with a bit of a Kangaroo Kick, babyface-MJF style. Brookside goes for a suplex, but Rosemary blocks it and grabs her by the throat.

Rosemary sends Brookside into the ropes with a push of the throat, and then slams her down by the throat before unloading on her with ground and pound. Rosemary controls the action for a few more minutes, but then Brookside starts to fight her way back.

She hits her finisher in the corner, but only gets two. She goes for another big spot, and then grabs Rosemary’s foreign object. She takes a good, long look at it while contemplating using it.

Ultimately, she doesn’t get the chance, as Rosemary sprays the green poison mist in her eyes and the referee calls for the bell. Brookside screams in pain while touching her eyes. Brookside is declared the winner via disqualification. The show heads into another commercial break.

Steve Maclin & Eric Young Have A Drink And A Chat

When the show returns, we hear some depressing music and in a music video fashion, we see Steve Maclin drinking by a campfire. As the video continues, the music stops and we see Eric Young is sitting next to him drinking with him.

Maclin says he already made his position clear about where they stand. He says they respect each other but they’ve got their own paths. Young asks what happens when those paths inevitably meet and they have to make a decision.

JDC defeated Cody Deaner

Back inside the Impact Zone, JDC’s theme hits and The System member makes his way to the ring for the next match of the evening. He settles inside and his music dies down.

Cody Deaner’s entrance tune hits and out he comes with a microphone in-hand. He talks about how he feels great to be here. He says he’s a proud father of multiple kids. He says his professional life wasn’t going so well.

He decided to put his fate in the hands of the people, and since that time, he’s had the best time of his life. He says now he’s about to have fun beating the crap out of a member of The System.

JDC gets on the microphone and assures Deaner that these people don’t care about his children. The fans cut him off with a loud “Yes we do! Yes we do!” chant. JDC says all he cares about is his match at TNA Sacrifice tomorrow.

He tells Deaner to step through the ropes, hop off the ring apron and take the loss like a man. “Be a man, don’t be a disappointment to your children for the rest of your life,” JDC says, before shoving Deaner, GUNTHER-bully style.

Deaner teases exiting the ring, but stops and says the choice isn’t his or JDC’s. It’s the people’s choice. He asks the people if he should just leave and let the referee count him out, or should he stay and “punch this jerk in the face ten times!”

He tells JDC the people have spoken and then clocks him in the face with a punch. The bell sounds and things continue from there. Deaner climbs up on JDC and tries delivering on his ten-punch-promise, but he only got to four before JDC countered and took over.

Deaner started to fight back, but JDC stuck him with a cheap-shot thumb to the eye. He followed that up with his Falcon Arrow finisher for the pinfall victory. After the match, the show heads into another commercial break.

Tessa Blanchard & Cora Jade defeated Masha Slamovich & Lei Ying Lee

When the show returns, Arianna Grace is making her way to the commentary desk, where she will join Hannifan and Rehwoldt on the call for the next match of the evening, which will be a TNA Knockouts tag-team tilt.

Tessa Blanchard’s theme hits and out she comes to the ring. She settles inside and then the entrance tune for her tag-team partner, WWE NXT Superstar Cora Jade, hits. After the heel duo settle inside the squared circle, the music hits to cue their opposition.

Out first to the ring comes Lei Ying Lee. She settles in the ring as Hannifan talks about the new plans and pricing for the company’s TNA+ streaming subscription service. Lee’s partner, reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich, makes her way out next.

The bell sounds to get things started. All four women stare each other down from opposite sides of the ring. Slamovich kicks things off for her team. It looks like Jade will do the same for hers, but she decides against it, opting instead to tag in Blanchard.

Blanchard and Slamovich go face-to-face and Blanchard pie-faces her to gasps from the crowd. Slamovich fights back and hits a dropkick. She puts her down again and then dares Jade to tag in. Blanchard tags her and Jade hesitantly comes in as fans chant “Masha’s gonna kill you!”

Jade dares Lee to tag in. Slamovich reaches back and tags her in. Lee comes in and goes right to work on Jade, blasting her with an assortment of kicks. She climbs up her in the corner and hits the multiple-punch sequence. She slams her down and covers her, but only gets two.

Jade takes advantage of some confusion in the ring and hits a gut-wrench on Lee for a two-count of her own. She tags in Blanchard and the fans boo as she goes to work on Lee. Blanchard hits her Magnum finisher off the top but Slamovich prevents things from ending there.

Lee and Jade brawl on the floor, while Slamovich and Blanchard, both looking beat up and tired, trade shots in the ring. Slamovich hoists Blanchard onto her back, but Blanchard rakes at her eyes to escape. Blanchard goes for a move, but Lee hits the ring and blasts her with Thunderstruck.

Jade then comes in and blatantly hits Slamovich with the title belt. The referee didn’t see it. Blanchard follows up with Buzzsaw and covers her for the pinfall victory. After the match, the show heads into another commercial break.

Summit With Mustafa Ali & Mike Santana

The show returns to the advertised Summit with Mustafa Ali and Mike Santana. Santana apologizes for being late after finally showing up and taking a seat, while The Great Hands and Tasha Steelz stand behind him. Tom Hannifan sits in between Ali and Santana and asks questions.

Hannifan asks Ali first about why he chose to have an issue with Santana upon returning to TNA. Ali says it isn’t about having an issue with Santana. He’s here to be the leader TNA needs. He can handle the pressure. He says Mr. Santana can’t handle the pressure.

Santana finally speaks up and is baffled that Ali says something like he can’t handle pressure. He goes on for the 100th time about his rough past and all that he’s overcome. He says he’s had nothing but pressure since joining TNA. He says he felt plenty of pressure taking out The System by himself.

He says he also felt a lot of pressure at TNA Genesis when he faced one of the toughest men of his career and made him say “I Quit.” Hannifan points out to Ali that no one has defeated Santana in singles action in over six months. Ali says that’s a good point, but then tells Santana what he described is not pressure.

Ali tells Santana that pressure is failing and dusting yourself off and coming back to take over. He says pressure is having the camera men, the medical people in the back and all of the other staff depend on you. He says Santana isn’t a leader, he’s an addict. Santana tells Ali “you’re full of sh*t.”

Santana asks Ali if he thinks he’s not on to him, or if the people in the locker room haven’t caught on to his true intentions as well. He says no one thinks he’s really here for the betterment of TNA. He says even his people standing behind him sees it.

He tells him he accepted the reality that he’s an addict a long time ago, but today, he’s an addict for these people, for this company and for the people in it. He says for every addict out there, he’s shown them it’s possible to hit the bottom and rise.

Ali says he feels too more tension here. He says everyone needs to calm down. He picks up a bottle of wine and says, “and maybe take a drink.” Santana didn’t like that. Ali tells Santana at TNA Sacrifice, he will lose. He says he’s gonna pray for mercy, and then he’s gonna take one sip and finish the bottle.

And another one, and another one, and then he’s gonna let everyone he just mentioned down, including himself. But worse, he’s gonna break his daughters heart. As soon as Ali said that, Santana launched across the table and attacked him. He beat down his goons and even drew his hand back at Tasha.

He restrained himself, however, and ended up getting jumped by Ali and The Great Hands. They put the boots to him until Ali yells, “Enough!” He then opens the wine and pours a glass. He sits it next to Santana and tells him, “That’s for when you wake up.” He walks off. Santana comes to and sees the drink. He hits it. The show heads into another commercial break.

Joe Hendry (c) defeated Ryan Nemeth to retain the TNA World Championship

It’s main event time — Part 1!

But first, when the show returns, Hannifan and Rehwoldt run down the updated lineup for Friday’s TNA Sacrifice 2025 special event. Added to the lineup is Frankie Kazarian vs. Steve Maclin, as well as First Class duo AJ Francis & KC Navarro against the team of Laredo Kid & Octagon Jr.

Kazarian found out about his match as he joined Hannifan and Rehwoldt, uninvited, to be part of the call for the upcoming main event title tilt. After he freaks out about the news, he takes a seat and gets ready for the final match of the evening.

The familiar sounds of Joe Hendry’s theme hits the house speakers inside Full Sail University and out comes the TNA World Champion for his latest title defense against a yet-to-be-announced opponent. Santino Marella comes out and says he has an opponent for Hendry.

Before he can continue, Ryan Nemeth’s theme hits and out comes “The Hollywood Hunk.” He gets on the microphone and says his big brother returns in one day. He also says his big brother has given him his contracted title rematch as a former champion.

He heads to the ring, the bell sounds, Hendry hits Standing Ovation and covers him for the easy victory to retain his TNA World Championship in mere seconds.

Joe Hendry (c) defeated Hammerstone to retain the TNA World Championship

It’s main event time — Part 2!

In the ring, Hendry pops up after pinning Nemeth for his successful title defense. Santino Marella comes back out and apologizes for Nemeth doing that. He says he wasn’t really the opponent he had planned for Hendry. He asks Hendry if he wouldn’t mind working again.

With that said, the TNA Director of Authority reveals the real title challenger for the TNA World Champion, and out comes Hammerstone. Hannifan points out on commentary that Hammerstone hasn’t been seen on the scene in TNA for months.

As he heads to the ring, the show heads to a quick pre-match commercial break. When the show returns, the bell sounds and things get officially off-and-running. Hendry takes the early offensive lead on Hammerstone, who the commentators joke has gotten even bigger since he was last around.

Hendry goes to hook Hammerstone and hoist him up for his stalled suplex spot, but Hammerstone blocks it and sends the TNA World Champion sailing into the ring post, before he crashes and burns on the floor at ringside. Hammerstone heads out after him and adds some more punishment to Hendry at ringside.

After Hammerstone beats Hendry down some more on the floor, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break with the champion still very much on the defensive, and the muscled up challenger in a definitive offensive lead.

When the show returns from the final time out of the evening, Hendry is shown starting to fight back into competitive form as the crowd inside the Impact Zone begin loudly rallying behind him. Hendry hoists Hammerstone up and this time connects with his trademark stalled suplex spot.

Hendry hits a Fall Away slam and then does the big dramatic head-turn for a big pop. He does the stomp-stomp clap routine, leading the fans in the “We Will Rock You” themed rallying cry, as he looks to try and finish off the big man.

Hendry hoists Hammerstone over his shoulders, but Hammerstone escapes and hits a German suplex. He picks Hendry up and power bombs him into the mat with authority for a close two-count. He transitions into a Boston Crab and cranks back on the lower back of the champ.

Kazarian complains about the voice of the lady behind him at the commentary desk. Hammerstone looks to hoist Hendry up, but Hendry counters and hits a big back-suplex. He hoists Hammerstone up onto his shoulders. He launches him up high and slams him down.

He grabs Hammerstone by the throat and lifts him up for his Standing Ovation finisher. He follows up with the immediate cover for the pinfall victory and his second successful title defense of the evening. The System and The Colons hit the ring to attack Hendry afterwards.

The theme for The Hardy Boyz hits and out comes the TNA World Tag-Team Champions Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy, with Leon Slater and Elijah behind them. Everyone brawls in and around the ring. Hannifan wraps things up by saying, “tomorrow night will be carnage at TNA Sacrifice!”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gia Miller Interviews Ace Austin & The Rascalz

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

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

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

First Class Penthouse with AJ Francis & KC Navarro

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

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

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

Savannah Evans defeated Xia Brookside

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

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

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

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

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

Mike Santana defeated John Skyler (w/ Jason Hotch)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AJ Francis (w/ KC Navarro) defeated Steve Maclin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Steve Maclin Confronts Eric Young & The Northern Armory

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

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

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

Fraxiom Sends A Message To The Hardy Boyz

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mike Santana Approaches Santino Marella Backstage

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

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

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

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

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich Addresses Cora Jade

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mustafa Ali’s Day Just Got Worse

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

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

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

The Hardy Boyz defeated The Colons via Disqualification

It’s main event time!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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