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

The show kicks off with a bang this week. After the usual recap video package opener, the show settles inside the Impact Zone in San Antonio, TX. Opening up the show will be the first TNA World Championship defense of Joe Hendry.

Jake Something makes his way down to the ring first, after securing his spot by challenging Joe Hendry during his concert last week. Hendry’s viral theme plays next and he makes his way out with the gold, leading fans in the side-to-side wave as he settles inside the squared circle.

McKenzie Mitchell is shown in a close-up shot as she handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for the challenger and the champion. Hendry flashes the cheesy smile upon hearing his name, and fans break out in their first “We Believe! We Believe!” chant.

The title is held up by the referee, and the bell sounds to start things off. The crowd immediately does the “We will rock you!” stomp-stomp-clap routine, without being led by Hendry to do so. The two lock-up and the bigger Something muscles the champ into the corner.

After another lock-up, Hendry’s arm is isolated, but he drops down, flips and pops up to escape. He turns and glares at Something with a smirk on his face. They lock up again and Something grabs a side headlock. Hendry shucks him into the ropes, but is shoulder blocked down twice.

Something runs into a knee-lift from Hendry that sends him out to the floor pounding the mat in frustration. Hendry then hoists Something up upon reentering the ring, executing his trademark stalled suplex spot, eliciting another “We Believe! We Believe!” chant. Hendry goes for a cover, but only gets two.

Something starts to land big shots on Hendry after he gets up, including a short-arm lariat that sends him to the mat. He does the thumb throat-slicing gesture, but Hendry surprises him with a counter slam for another two-count. The show heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues.

The show returns to Something pounding Hendry across the back with a big forearm shot that sends him to the mat wincing in pain. Something blasts him with another before leaning him over the ropes and chopping the hell out of him. Hendry comes off the ropes with a sunset flip for a two-count.

Hendry tries another one, but Something pops up and turns Hendry into a battering-ram-style short-arm clothesline for a two-count of his own. Fans try and rally behind Hendry with chants, but Something taunts them and continues to beat down the champion.

Hendry fights back and hits a fall-away slam for a two-count. He pops up and does the “We will rock you!” stomp-stomp-clap routine to bring the crowd to life in the background. Hendry looks for his Standing Ovation finisher, but Something blocks it and takes back over again.

After hitting a couple of big man moves on the champion, Something tried heading to the top-rope, only for Hendry to cut him off. Hendry climbed up after him and hit a super-fall-away slam. He does the “We will rock you!” crowd-play some more and then hits his one-armed Standing Ovation for the win.

Nic Nemeth Accidentally Lays Out Santino Marella

As soon as the bell sounds, we hear a voice talking. “My brother is not going to be happy about this match.” Ryan Nemeth pops out and babbles more about how his brother will not approve of this as he joins Hendry in the ring.

Santino Marella’s theme hits and in the distraction, Something blasts Hendry. Nic Nemeth runs out and as Santino tries talking, Nemeth accidentally takes out Santino with a super kick intended for Something.

Hendry recovers and sees Santino down. He checks on him and then turns and looks at Nic Nemeth standing behind him with confusion. The show abruptly heads to another commercial.

When the show returns, Nemeth is shown backstage apologizing to Santino, with his brother Ryan echoing his words behind him. Santino ends up suspending Nic for four weeks and telling him to leave it at that before he “presses-the-charges.”

Nemeth apologizes and walks off. Ryan assures his big bro that he’ll hold things down for the Nemeth’s in his absence.

TNA Unbreakable 2025 Coming On April 17 In Las Vegas, NV.

When the show returns, a promotional trailer airs to announce TNA Unbreakable 2025 for the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nevada during WrestleMania 41 Week on April 17.

Ash & Heather By Elegance (w/ George Iceman) defeated King Bees (Charity King & Danni Bee)

George Iceman is shown inside the Impact Zone with “an important message.” He introduces Ash and Heather By Elegance, who come out in their Texas-appropriate gear as cowgirls.

They settle in the ring where their opponents, the King Bees duo of Charity King and Danni Bee, are already waiting for them. The bell sounds and Heather works over Charity. Danni tags in, but so does Ash, and the Elegant duo hit a double team spot to settle into a comfortable lead.

Heather tags back in as the crowd is loudly booing in the background. Ash hits a Glam-Slam and the two hit a double dropkick. Ash goes for the cover, but only gets two. Iceman is audibly heard on the broadcast yelling at the loud negative crowd in the background to “Shut up!”

Ash and Bee yank each other down to the mat face-first by the others’ hair, leading to both crawling to their respective corners to make the tag. The fresh teammates for each come in, however it is Charity who settles into a big offensive comeback for the King Bees.

She tags Danni back in, and then hoists Heather up on her shoulders. Heather escapes and Ash yanks Charity out to the floor, slamming her into the steel steps. Heather hits a high spot to the other half of the King Bees off the ropes for the victory.

After the match, the Elegant duo gives the King Bees an unwanted makeover, which brings out TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions Spitfire. Jody Threat and Dani Luna settle in the ring and Ash and Heather by Elegance quickly exit the ring and retreat.

The Hardys & Leon Slater Show Mutual Respect

Footage is shown of Leon Slater and The Hardys in action on last week’s show. Backstage, Leon Slater is on the phone gushing about it when The Hardys approach him. They share mutual respect and admiration and talk about their passion for the business at young ages.

Slater says he hopes to work with them again. The Hardys tell Slater it’s good to see him and guys like Joe Hendry with the same passion they had at their ages. Jeff Hardy praises Slater for his Swanton 450 on last week’s show.

Slater says if The Hardys believe in him, he won’t let them down. They hug it up and the segment wraps up on that note. Hannifan runs down some action still to come on the show, and then things head into another commercial break.

Mustafa Ali Town Hall Meeting

When the show returns, Mustafa Ali is shown with The Great Hands, John Skyler and Jason Hotch, as well as Tasha Steelz, for his special “Town Hall Meeting.” He talks about the company needing a great leader.

He says he is that great leader and the rightful number one contender for the TNA World title. He asks for all those in favor to say “I.” Tommy Dreamer walks up to Ali and Ali thinks Dreamer considers himself the real leader.

Ali says if not him then who. Dreamer says “him” and points to Mike Santana. Steelz interjects and insists there are no more questions at this time.

Frankie Kazarian defeated Sami Callihan

Inside the Impact Zone, Frankie Kazarian emerges with his Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy. He heads to the ring for the next match of the evening. He settles inside the ring and his music dies down.

Sami Callihan’s theme hits next but instead of him simply walking out, he comes flying out all beat to hell. Out behind him comes Mance Warner and Steph De Lander, who is still toting the TNA Digital Media Championship she “won in the divorce” from PCO.

They leave Callihan laying, but he stumbles his way down to the ring anyways and insists the referee ring the bell. The referee doesn’t want to, but does. Callihan surprises Kazarian with a stunner. He looks for his finisher, but Warner comes back out. The distraction allows Kazarian to secure a chicken wing for the win.

After the match, Callihan stumbles over and mumbles into a microphone while still barely conscious that he wants Warner to come to the ring so they can finish fighting. Warner obliges, but security rushes and breaks things up. Callihan breaks free and rushes Warner again. Security separate them again.

Josh Alexander With A Message To Eric Young Ahead Of Their Final Battle

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with “The Walking Weapon” Josh Alexander. She mentions how he has agreed to one final match in TNA Wrestling tonight against Eric Young.

Alexander says it’s a shame the last match he has is a fight against someone like Eric Young that he drove up and down the road with for seven years. He tells Young he doesn’t have to like him, but he’s going to make sure his last time out there that he does respect him.

Alexander says he loves this place but it’s time for his actions to speak louder than his words, and he’s going to do that tonight. Hannifan runs down the remaining lineup for tonight’s show and then the show heads into another commercial break.

JDC Gets Under Leon Slater’s Skin

The show returns to footage of JDC representing TNA on WWE NXT in a Heritage Cup match. Backstage, JDC confronts Leon Slater, who is on the phone again.

He tells him The Hardys told him all wrong earlier. He tells Slater he didn’t do that well last week. Slater points out they won. He says Slater is making a career off of potential without any substance.

He’s seen a million people like him. He keeps calling him kid and Slater loses his cool and shoves him. The two are broken up as Slater calls for a fight with no rules.

Cora Jade defeated Xia Brookside

Inside the Impact Zone, the American Pie soundtrack-sounding theme music for Xia Brookside hits and out she comes in her white cowboy hat. She settles inside the ring to a nice pop from the San Antonio crowd.

The theme for her opponent hits and out comes WWE NXT Superstar Cora Jade. The bell sounds and Jade hops up and puts her feet on the top-rope while leaning back. The two finally engage and Jade goes to work isolating the arm of Brookside.

Brookside rolls, flips and escapes. She then hops up with her feet on the ropes and taunts Jade with her own signature move. Brookside hits a monkey-flip to Jade out of the corner. Jade rolls out to the floor to regroup.

Back in the ring, Jade fakes an injury. She draws the sympathy of the referee and uses it to blindside Brookside with a sneak attack. She settles back into a comfortable offensive lead over Brookside and then begins taunting her and the crowd.

Jade begins looking to try and put Brookside away. Each time Brookside kicks out, Jade lets out a frustrated scream. She cranks back on both arms behind Brookside’s back. Brookside starts fighting back, knocking Jade down with clotheslines off the ropes.

Brookside drops Jade with a big kick in the corner. She backs up to the opposing corner, charges at Jade and blasts her with the Broken Wings double-knees for a two-count. Brookside puts Jade on the top in the corner, looking for her finisher, but Jade has it well-scouted and kicks her way free.

Jade gets Brookside’s arms under-hooked, looking for Jaded, but Brookside also has her opponents finisher well-scouted, and avoids it. Moments later, however, Jade hits it anyways and gets the three-count for the win. The show heads into another commercial break.

Santino Marella Loses Cool Dealing With Tessa Blanchard

When the show returns, backstage we see Arianna Grace approaching Tessa Blanchard, who talks down to her. Santino Marella walks up still upset from being kicked. He tells Tessa to chill before he loses his cool.

He tells her she’ll have a match next week or there will be consequences. She starts down-talking him until he pounds the wall and yells again that she’ll either have a match next week or there will be consequences. She walks off.

The Rascalz Call Out Wes Lee, Tyson & Tyriek

Inside the Impact Zone, The Rascalz make their way down to the ring. They waste no time talking about their issues with the wannabe Rascalz of Wes Lee, Tyson and Tyriek. They call them out and call them a “b*tch.”

Wes Lee comes out with a microphone in-hand and Tyson and Tyriek by his side. They say they have no problem coming down and beating them up. They begin to do so until Ace Austin’s theme hits.

Austin joins The Rascalz in beating down the NXT trio until they eventually take over and triple-team each guy one-by-one. The Rascalz nearly fight back from underneath until Lee blasts them from behind with a double low-blow.

The NXT trio hold Austin and Lee blasts him with a Cardiac Kick. Hannifan runs down the remaining lineup and the show heads into another commercial break.

AJ Francis Teases First Class Upgrade

Footage is shown of Savannah Evans earning her title shot against Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts Championship on last week’s show.

Backstage, First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro claim to have a big announcement. They say it’s time they upgrade TNA. They say it’s time for a First Class upgrade in TNA from the outhouse to the penthouse.

Why? Because, of course, if you ain’t First Class, you’re last. The commentators question what could be next for First Class.

Masha Slamovich (c) defeated Savannah Evans to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship

Inside the Impact Zone, Savannah Evans’ theme hits and she makes her way to the ring fresh off of her No. 1 Contender Battle Royal victory on last week’s show. She settles in the ring and awaits the arrival of the defending champion.

Out comes reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich in a leather coat and black sunglasses, looking like a female Terminator. She settles inside the squared circle as well. McKenzie Mitchell is shown on-camera again for her formal pre-match ring introductions for this championship contest.

Slamovich’s reign has lasted 110 days thus far, as Hannifan points out on commentary as the bell sounds to get things started. They lock up and Evans muscles Slamovich into the ropes. The commentators talk about Evans having the strength and power advantage in this one.

Slamovich turns Evans in the corner and blasts her with some forearm strikes. Evans blasts her back with an open-palm strike that sends her to the mat. Slamovich fights back and hits the ropes to build up momentum, using all of her force to knock Evans down to the mat for the first time.

Evans fights back and blasts Slamovich with one single vicious shot that sends her crashing and burning out to the floor. Evans hoists Slamovich up and hits a choke-bomb onto the hard part of the ring apron.

Back in the ring, Evans builds on her lead as Tessa Blanchard is shown watching on backstage. After some more back-and-forth action, Slamovich hits her finisher and picks up the victory to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship.

Eric Young defeated Josh Alexander

It’s main event time!

After matches are announced for next week’s special live episode of TNA iMPACT from Full Sail University (see lineup below), the show switches gears and the stage gets set for the main event of the evening. The final match on the show will be the TNA farewell of former world champion Josh Alexander.

Eric Young makes his way to the ring first, and then “The Walking Weapon” makes his way out for his final showdown in the place he has called home for seven years. The bell sounds and the two get after it. Young takes the early offensive lead.

Young looks to work over the leg of Alexander in the corner, but Alexander begins fighting back and into the offensive lead. Alexander works over Young for the next couple of minutes until The Northern Armory duo of Williams and Icarus provide a distraction at ringside.

The distraction allows Young to take over. As he settles back into a comfortable offensive lead, the show heads into a mid-match commercial beak as the action continues in the ring. When the show returns, Young is shown still easily handling Alexander.

Young puts the boots to Alexander in the corner, and then begins to clearly focus his offensive attack on the twice-surgically-repaired neck of “The Walking Weapon.” Alexander tries fighting back, but Young cuts his comeback attempt short and feeds him to the wolves at ringside.

The Northern Armory duo of Williams and Icarus sneak in some cheap shots on Alexander on the floor outside of the ring, and then Young slaps a rear chin-lock on Alexander and cranks away while putting all of his weight on him on the mat.

Alexander begins fighting back again. He hoists Young up and hits a rolling senton. He drops Young on the back of his neck and covers him for a close two-count. He pops right back up and slaps an ankle lock on Young. Young makes it to the ropes, forcing the hold to be broken.

Once again Young uses The Northern Armory to his advantage to take over. He follows up with a top-rope elbow drop. He immediately covers Alexander afterwards, but only gets a two-count. Alexander’s signature head-gear was knocked off in the last few moments.

Alexander fights back and hits a Styles Clash on Young. He follows up with a cover of his own, but also only manages to get a count of two. Young breaks Alexander up to the top-rope. He literally hoists him upside down, looking for a top-rope piledriver.

Alexander breaks loose and slaps an ankle lock on Young on the mat. He transitions into a Boston crab. The Northern Armory gets involved again, but this time Alexander sees it coming. Alexander gets Young in an ankle lock, but again The Northern Armory hop on the apron.

Alexander lets the hold go to deal with them, but then turns around into a cheap shot from Young with the head-gear. Young follows up with a piledriver and covers Alexander for the win, beating “The Walking Weapon” in Alexander’s TNA farewell match.

Young celebrates his win with The Northern Armory as Hannifan talks on commentary about the significance of Alexander to TNA. Young leaves the ring and the camera shows Alexander down and out in the ring. The Northern Armory follow Young up the ramp and that is the final shot as this week’s show comes to a close.

**********
Joe Hendry Concert

After the usual show-starting recap of last week’s episode and subsequent “Cross the line” theme and intro video, Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us inside the Impact Zone as Joe Hendry’s theme hits.

The TNA World Champion emerges and heads to the ring as footage is shown of Hendry making history as the first active TNA World Champion to compete in the Men’s Royal Rumble match at the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 premium live event over the weekend in Indianapolis, IN.

Inside the ring, Hendry settles in his chair in the middle of the ring. He picks up a guitar and asks who wants to hear a song from the new champ. The crowd cheers. He says he’s going to require everyone to sing along.

He begins playing and singing his first tune. “Hendry is the champion, my friend … and he’ll be the champion to the end!” And so on. He wraps up his first Queen-inspired tune and fans break out in a loud “We Believe!” chant.

Hendry says this next one is a serious one. He talks about a lot of hurt and struggle in the world. He sings, “So much division in the nation, gas prices and inflation. The whole world is going to hell, but that doesn’t matter because … Joe Hendry won the belt!”

From there he literally sings about how this is the part of his concert that some wannabe challenger interrupts him. On cue, Jake Something’s entrance tune hits and he comes out with a microphone in-hand. “Concert’s over,” he says, before bringing up Hendry’s vow to defend his title anywhere, anytime.

Something says with that in mind, he had a talk with Santino Marella and he’s taking him up on that offer. “Jake Something vs. Joe Hendry — next week. World Championship! What do you got to say to that, boy?!” Hendry tells the crowd to shush.

He begins strumming his guitar. “I accept!” he sings before thanking us for watching the Joe Hendry Concert. His theme hits again and the brief concert segment opener wraps up. Hannifan and Rehwoldt drive home the Hendry-Something title tilt announced for next week.

Gia Miller Interviews Masha Slamovich

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich. She brings up the Knockouts Contender Battle Royal tonight to determine her next challenger for next week’s title defense.

She brings up Cora Jade lurking as well. Slamovich is interested to see who emerges from the battle royal. She sends a message of warning to Jade and walks off. The show heads into the first commercial break of the evening.

Ace Austin defeated Tyson Dupont (w/ Tyriek Igwe & Wes Lee)

When the show returns, Tyson Dupont makes his way out accompanied by fellow WWE NXT Superstars Tyriek Igwe and Wes Lee. He settles inside the squared circle for scheduled singles action to kick things off in the ring on this week’s show.

The ABC entrance tune hits next and out comes Ace Austin for this one-on-one contest. The bell sounds and the much larger Tyson quickly and easily muscles Austin into the corner. Austin puts his leg between the ropes, prompting the referee to force the break.

Austin backs Tyson into a corner and tries yelling something at him, but Tyson answers back with a single stiff shot that knocks the hell out of Austin. Tyson runs over Austin off the ropes and then goes for a hip-toss, but Austin flips over and lands on his feet.

Austin works at the legs of the bigger man and chops him down to size. Tyson hits a huge pop-up powerslam after fighting back into the offensive lead. He slows things down and taunts Austin and the crowd while enjoying a comfortable lead.

He hits a big splash in the corner, before whipping Austin into the opposing corner and splashing him again. He manhandles Austin with a lariat that turns the smaller man inside-out. He goes for the cover, but onlygets two.

He slaps a full nelson on him while standing, Master-Lock style, and cranks the hell out of him, shaking his body around like a debuting Chyna would a tiny Marlena. Austin finally begins fighting back into competitive form, and the crowd loudly rallies behind him.

Austin hits a side-Russian leg-sweep and follows up with a standing leg-drop for a two-count. Tyson begins fighting back again until out of nowhere, Austin hits The Fold for the impressive victory. Afterwards, the NXT trio attacks until The Rascalz make the save and run them off.

Tessa Blanchard Addresses TNA Knockouts No. 1 Contender Battle Royal

Backstage, Tessa Blanchard talks directly into the camera about tonight’s TNA Knockouts No. 1 Contender Battle Royal. She makes it clear she won’t compete in it.

She’s not having nine other people gunning for her. She answers to no one and each and every one of those woman aren’t going to mess with her — because they can’t. She walks off to end the brief promo segment.

Savannah Evans Wins TNA Knockouts No. 1 Contender Battle Royal

Inside the Impact Zone, the lights go down and the hard rock entrance tune for Rosemary plays. Out she comes to the ring for the next match of the evening, which is the TNA Knockouts No. 1 Contender Battle Royal.

As she settles inside the squared circle, the show heads into a quick pre-match commercial break. When the show returns, Steph De Lander and Mance Warner are shown in a brief vignette boasting about obtaining the TNA Digital Media Championship in the divorce from PCO.

Back inside the Impact Zone, Cora Jade is shown at the commentary desk alongside Hannifan and Rehwoldt, as Ash by Elegance makes her way down to the ring, which filled up with many Knockouts during the break.

Out next is former WWE Superstar Jazz. As she settles in the ring, the commentators talk about her being a co-owner of NWA: San Antonio. Jade says Jazz wearing purple proves she’s a big fan of hers. Alisha Edwards picks a fight with Jazz as soon as the bell sounds.

Tasha Steelz is eliminated by Alisha a few moments later as Jade was droning on in a monotone voice on guest commentary. Alisha is eliminated by Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna seconds later. They go through the ropes to go after Ash and Heather by Elegance, who are hiding under the ring.

Heather by Elegance is eliminated as Tessa Blanchard is shown watching on. Ash then quickly eliminated Dani Luna. Jody Threat is tossed out a few seconds later. Jazz is thrown over but lands on the apron. Ash, who was still in the match, from the floor, yanks her out to eliminate her.

Ash is eliminated seconds later. The final two are Savannah Evans and Xia Brookside. Blanchard is shown with her arms-crossed watching on via a monitor backstage as Evans beats down Brookside. Xia fights back and throws her over the top, but Evans lands on the apron.

Cora leaves her spot on guest commentary as Xia is kicking at Evans on the apron, trying to knock her off and out to the floor to eliminate her. The distraction allows Evans to recover and hoist Xia over the ropes onto the apron. A headbutt knocks her out and she crashes on the floor, giving Evans the win.

With the win, Savannah Evans will now challenge Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts Championship on next week’s episode of TNA iMPACT. After the TNA Knockouts No. 1 Contender Battle Royal wraps up, the show heads into another commercial break.

Josh Alexander, Steve Maclin Confront Eric Young & Northern Armory

As the show returns, Eric Young comes out with The Northern Armory duo of Icarus and Williams. He boasts Canadians always calling the shots and running things in TNA. He claims he’s above the world title and everyone in TNA.

In his first action, he removed Josh Alexander forever. He is then cut off by Steve Maclin, who comes down to confront him and his goons in the ring. He says “this is what was worth saving, huh?” He says if this was the plan all along, why didn’t he just tell him.

He says he’s the first person in four years he put his trust in. He went to war with them for Young, and now he’s gonna wash his hands of it and just act like the last six months didn’t happen. Maclin tells Young has crossed the line. He says as long as The Northern Armory are with him, he is not.

He walks off, but then Josh Alexander’s theme hits and out he comes. He and Maclin stare each other down as they cross paths on the ramp. Alexander enters the ring and questions how Young can claim he got rid of him for good when he’s still standing in the ring right now.

He says his time in TNA is ending soon, but he loves this place. He says maybe he’ll show everyone one more time. He says he went to Santino Marella and he agreed that next week he will walk the ramp in TNA for one last time for one last match.

He says next week it’ll be Eric Young vs. Josh Alexander one last time. He vows to wrestle with everything in his heart to show how much this place means to him. “And I’m going to enjoy kicking your ass!” The excellent promo segment ends there and the show heads into another commercial break.

Sami Callihan On A Rampage Looking For Mance Warner

When the show returns, Sami Callihan is shown backstage manhandling everyone-and-anyone in sight to try and find Mance Warner. He confronts Frankie Kazarian, who claims he isn’t even aware who Mance is.

Callihan storms off to continue his rampage of a search. Kazarian calls over Santino Marella for the unsafe working conditions. Marella tells him to “take it e-c.”

Leon Slater & The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy) defeated The System (Moose, JDC & Eddie Edwards w/ Alisha Edwards)

Inside the Impact Zone, The System theme hits and out comes the group accompanied by Alisha Edwards. They settle in the ring to boos from the San Antonio crowd.

Leon Slater’s theme hits and out comes their first of three opponents for this six-man tag-team tilt. He stops with half of his face-painted and Hardy-style gear on. The Hardys iconic theme hits next and out comes the legendary TNA World Tag-Team Champions.

The bell sounds and it is JDC and Slater kicking things off for their respective teams. JDC knocks Slater to the mat and hits the ropes, but Slater catches him with an overhead-style arm-drag. JDC tags in Edwards, and Slater works him over too before tagging in Matt Hardy.

Matt Hardy hits his “HUH?!?” leg-drop off the middle rope and then leads fans in a “DELETE! DELETE!” chant as he smashes the isolated arm of Edwards over his shoulder over-and-over again. He tags in his brother, and in comes Jeff Hardy picking up where Matt left off.

As The Hardys and Slater empty the ring of the three System members in the match, as the heel trio regroups on the floor at ringside, the babyface trio plays to the adoring crowd inside the Impact Zone as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, Slater is shown hitting some high spots until Alisha provides a distraction that leads to Slater diving onto Moose, who catches him and Donkey Kong’s him onto the ring apron with a powerbomb. Back in the ring, Edwards takes over and The System settle into a prolonged offensive lead.

As JDC tags in to get his turn in the offensive driver’s seat, Hannifan talks on commentary about him returning to WWE this week as Fandango on NXT, and how he’ll be challenging Lexis King next week on NXT for the Heritage Cup. Moments later, The Hardys break up a close pin attempt on Slater.

Jeff finally gets the hot tag and the crowd comes to life. Jeff goes to work on Moose until JDC and Edwards hit the ring and the momentum shifts. Slater hits the ring to make the save, taking out the opposition one-by-one-by-one, shifting the momentum back in his team’s favor.

Slater fires up and hits his trademark turning dive over the ring post to the floor. In the ring, The Hardys hit a pair of Plot Twists. They hand things over to Slater to hit his own 450-version of the Swanton Bomb. Jeff follows up with the real thing and scores the pinfall for the victory. After the match, the show heads into another commercial break.

Mustafa Ali Continues His Cult-Style Scouting

When the show returns, Mustafa Ali is walking the halls when he stumbles across The Good Hands duo of John Skyler and Jason Hotch, who are arguing with each other. Ali tells them he’s sick of all the fighting around here. He tells them right now they’re Good Hands, but he feels they could be Great Hands.

Ali continues walking and sees Tasha Steelz seated with her head in her hands, looking distraught. He sits down next to her and in his utmost faux-sincere cult-leader-style, pretends to feel for her and empathize with her over being betrayed by her friend Alisha Edwards in the battle royal earlier. He convinces her to leave with him.

Mike Santana defeated Matt Cardona

Inside the Impact Zone, the theme music for “Alwayz Ready” Matt Cardona hits. “The Indy God” emerges with a big grin on his face and heads to the ring for the next match of the evening. Mike Santana’s hip-hop tune hits next and out he comes.

The bell sounds and these two get right after it. Santana takes the early offensive lead, and discourages Cardona, who heads out to the floor to re-group. They reengage, and again Cardona is overwhelmed by Santana, and leans through the ropes to force a break from the referee.

Cardona tries grabbing a handful of Santana’s hair to get an unfair advantage, but the referee catches him and stops him. Santana takes over from there and begins stringing together an offensive sequence for the first time in the match. Santana hits a big dive to Cardona on the floor.

Cardona trips up Santana after he re-enters the ring and exits again to come out and follow-up. He sweeps his legs and he crashes on the hard part of the ring apron. On the floor, Cardona hits a mean suplex on Santana and leaves him laying. He rolls in the ring.

When Santana goes to do the same, Cardona quickly pounces on him and ground-and-pounds away. After some more back-and-forth action, Santana takes back over. He hits a buckle bomb, a frog-splash tribute to Eddie Guerrero and his Spin The Block finisher for the win. The show heads to another break.

Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) (c) defeated The Nemeth’s (Ryan Nemeth & Nic Nemeth) to retain the WWE NXT World Tag-Team Championships

It’s main event time!

After the lineup for next week’s TNA iMPACT show on February 13 is announced (see below), the stage gets set for the final match of the evening for this week’s show, which features the WWE NXT Tag-Team Championships on-the-line.

“The Liaison” between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling, Arianna Grace, takes a seat on special guest commentary alongside Hannifan and Rehwoldt. The challengers, “The Wanted Man” Nic Nemeth and “The Hollywood Hunk” Ryan Nemeth make their way to the ring.

After they settle inside the squared circle, reigning WWE NXT Tag-Team Champions Fraxiom, the duo of Nathan Frazer and Axiom, head to the ring next. The bell sounds and off we go with this main event title tilt. Axiom and Ryan Nemeth kick things off for their respective teams.

Following some initial back-and-forth action, which sees the momentum shift a few times, everyone ends up down and out on the floor after a big dive spot. The show heads into a mid-match commercial break on that note.

When the show returns, Axiom is taking it to Ryan in the ring. Nemeth starts to try and fight back, but Axiom cuts his attempt short and tags in Frazer. Frazer hits a running shooting star press for a close two-count.

Nic tags in and hits the Jerry Lawler heart attack-special rapid-fire elbow sequence for a two-count of his own. Nemeth follows up with a FameAsser moments later for another close pinfall attempt. Nemeth and Frazer battle back-and-forth for several more minutes until Frazer finally tags Axiom back in.

Axiom comes in taking his time. He goes to work on Nic, who starts coming to life and fighting back. Nemeth blasts Axiom with a super kick. Frazer tries coming off the ropes to interfere, but Nemeth takes a step back and super kicks him as well.

Nic stalks both guys as they get up, but Ryan tags himself in. Ryan hits the ring and both Nemeth’s hit Danger Zone. Ryan tries quickly going for the cover, but only gets two-and-a-half. Nic hits an elevated DDT on display for Ryan.

Ryan goes to follow-up, but Axiom takes over as they climb the ropes. Axiom is knocked off. Frazer leaps up and hits a super-plex. We see a Golden Ratio on a brainbuster combo-spot by Fraxiom for a super close pin attempt, which Nic breaks up just in time. Fans loudly react with “TNA! TNA!” chants.

Nic blasts Frazer with a super kick in the ring, while Ryan is looking under the ring for something. He pulls out a chair and slides into the ring. Nic stops him. The distraction allows Fraziom to take back over. The champs quickly capitalize and within seconds, they take out Ryan and score the pin to retain.

Nic looks upset at ringside at what just happened with his little brother. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air.

Next Week:
* Joe Hendry (c) vs. Jake Something (TNA World Title)
* Masha Slamovich (c) vs. Savannah Evans (TNA Knockouts Title)
* Josh Alexander vs. Eric Young (Alexander’s TNA Farewell)

Josh Alexander will be on hand to share some thoughts while Ash & Heather by Elegance host a “pre-launch celebration” ahead of their challenge of Knockouts Tag Team Champions Spitfire on Sunday.

**********
Leon Slater defeated Trent Seven

The show opens with a shot of an enthusiastic “TNA! TNA!” chant from fans inside the Impact Zone, as Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us to the show. Frankie Kazarian’s theme hits and out comes the Call Your Shot Gauntlet winner for special guest commentary.

After the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” takes his seat alongside Hannifan and Rehwoldt, the focus shifts back to the ring where Leon Slater is introduced for the opening contest. Hannifan brings up Kazarian’s recent conversation with Slater and their scheduled match on the TNA Genesis “Countdown” pre-show.

From there, the entrance tune for Trent Seven hits and out he comes to the ring for his first TNA match since his TNA Final Resolution loss to Ace Austin. He snubs a fan at ringside before settling in the ring. The bell sounds and Seven snatches up the arm of Slater, who flips out and takes Seven down to the mat.

Slater whips Seven into the corner and follows in with a big splash. He does a little dance to taunt Seven and then blasts him with a reverse enzugiri that sends him out to the floor. Slater plays to the crowd, hits the ropes and charges at Seven with a big boot that knocks him off the ring apron and back to the floor.

He looks for a springboard high spot to the floor, but Seven avoids it and counters with a snap-dragon suplex. Seven rolls in the ring and smiles as the referee begins his count. Slater is shown clutching his shoulder in pain at ringside. Slater leaps and dive into the ring at the count of nine-and-a-half.

The two begin getting after it again, with Slater surprising Seven with a few pin attempts and finishing with a leaping kick that sends Seven crashing to the mat. Slater sits Seven on the top turnbuckle and climbs up after him.

He looks for a super-plex but Seven counters with a modified gut-wrench super-plex for a close two-count. Seven follows up with a Seven Star Lariat and a big piledriver for another close two-count. He sets up for a Birming-Hammer, but Slater counters. Slater back-slides Seven for a two-count.

Seven hits a right hand and this time connects with the Birming-Hammer, but again only gets a count of two. Seven and Slater fight out to the floor, where Slater hits a big DDT on the ramp. Seven rolls off the ramp. Slater backs up and waits for him to get up. He charges at him and connects with a high spot off the ramp. Back in the ring, he leaps off the ropes with a 450 splash for the pinfall victory. Excellent opener.

Afterwards, Seven does the standing bow gesture to Slater in a tip-of-the-cap moment of endorsement. Kazarian leaves his seat at the commentary desk and tries for a sneak attack, but Slater turns and catches him. Kazarian pumps the breaks.

Championship Celebration By Elegance Pre-Launch

When the show returns, George Iceman makes his way out with a microphone in-hand. The crowd gives him the Dominik Mysterio and Don Callis treatment as he tries to introduce the Championship Celebration By Elegance Pre-Launch.

He introduces the lovely, the beautiful, the elegant, Ash By Elegance. She comes out alongside Heather by Elegance. Iceman unveils two cardboard cutouts in the ring that shows Ash and Heather with the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships around their waists.

Ash cuts an acceptance speech-style promo, thanking her makeup artists and such, before tearing up and getting emotional while thanking Iceman. Spitfire duo Dani Luna and Jody Threat come out with their TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships in-hand. They call them delusional Barbie doll wannabes.

Ash takes exception to these comments and calls Spitfire a team that belongs on the clearance rack. She laughs at her own joke and gets enraged that they don’t find it funny as well. They brawl and then Spitfire takes the cardboard cutout and hit their double-team finisher on it. They rip its’ head off and throw it at Ash.

Gia Miller Interviews PCO & Sami Callihan

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with PCO and Sami Callihan. She brings up their match tonight against The Hardys and mentions how if they win, the tag title match at TNA Genesis becomes a three-way with them added.

Callihan promises victory and says they are going to Genesis. PCO gives Miller a compliment that makes her blush. The show heads into another commercial break on that note.

Eric Young & Steve Maclin defeated First Class (AJ Francis & KC Navarro)

When the show returns, First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro make their way to the ring as Hannifan and Rehwoldt do a live ad-read for TNA’s new partnership with BLCKSMTH. Eric Young’s entrance tune hits next and he comes out.

Steve Maclin comes out last and shakes hands with actor Judd Lormand, who is shown and acknowledged on the broadcast in a brief cameo appearance. The bell sounds and Young and Navarro kick things off for their respective teams. Navarro disrespects Young, which angers the TNA veteran.

Young slaps Navarro in the back of the head — loud — before tagging in “Bulletproof” Steve Maclin. Maclin and Young hit a double-team sequence and then Maclin settles into a comfortable offensive lead. Francis provides an assist and Navarro hits a big dive to Maclin on the floor.

First Class takes over on that note, with Francis tagging in and taking it to Maclin in the corner of the ring. Francis tags out and the two hit another double-team spot. They do their “Money! Money! Money!” chant and Navarro picks up where Francis left off, dominating Maclin in one-sided fashion.

Francis runs over and hits Young with a cheap shot to knock him off the apron. Navarro goes over and taunts Judd Lormand, who shoves him down on his ass. Francis comes over and snatches Lormand up by his collar until officials separate them.

Back in the ring, Maclin hits a big slam on Francis that buys him enough time to make the much-needed tag to Young. Navarro also tags in, but it is Young off the hot tag who fires up and takes over on offense. Maclin hits a dive to Francis on the floor.

Young hits a flying elbow drop off the ropes to Navarro for the win. After the match, as Young and Maclin are celebrating, The System duo of Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers come out with Alisha Edwards. They stare down Young and Maclin and touch fists before the show heads to another commercial break.

Masha Slamovich & Rosemary’s Confessional

When the show returns, footage of TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich’s cameo appearance from this week’s WWE NXT is shown. They mention Slamovich being impressed with Cora Jade.

Once that wraps up, the show shoots to a dark, shadowy look at Rosemary, with footage of Rosemary’s recent matches being sliced in. We see that Rosemary is sitting in a confessional booth like at church. On the other side is Slamovich. They each speak their piece.

Rosemary talks about how they were the epitome of violence in the Knockouts division. She says everything has built to this Clockwork Orange House of Fun showdown for the title. She promises it to be the most violent Knockouts match in TNA history.

Slamovich says they’re either going to touch the sky, or she’s going to drag her to hell with her. That’s how the brief video package segment wraps up. The show heads into another commercial break.

Mike Santana vs. Josh Alexander At Genesis Now An “I Quit” Match

Footage of Judas Icarus and Travis Williams attacking Mike Santana at Prestige Wrestling from over the weekend is shown as the show returns from the break.

Inside the Impact Zone, Josh Alexander and The Northern Armory come to the ring. The crowd gets on Alexander’s case with “Baldie” chants. Alexander says Santana was injured last week and can’t wrestle at TNA Genesis. Santana’s theme hits and he comes out through the crowd.

From the crowd, Santana cuts a promo and says as long as he can breathe he’ll fight. He says it will be an “I Quit” match between them at TNA Genesis. Alexander says if Santana can ever make him say “I Quit” he’ll shake his hand.

He says that’ll never happen, though. Santana vows to be the new standard-bearer in TNA. On that note, the show heads into another commercial time out.

Jake Something defeats Laredo Kid

When the show returns, Laredo Kid’s theme hits and the masked fan-favorite immediately makes his way out to the ring for the next match of the evening here on the TNA Genesis 2025 “go-home show.”

After Kid settles in the ring, his music dies down. The entrance tune for his opponent hits, and out comes Jake Something. The bell sounds and this one-on-one contest gets officially off-and-running.

Fans chant for Kid straight out of the gate. He starts off well, but Something quickly takes over. He launches Kid to the entrance ramp. Kid fights back with forearms upon returning to the ring. Something blasts him with a single forearm that drops him. He goes for the cover, but only gets two.

Kid hits a wild DDT off a flip that gets a close two-count on the big man. Something takes over from there. He sits the masked man on the ropes and climbs up after him. He hits a super Something bomb off the ropes for the pinfall victory.

Ace Austin Ready To Capture Gold This Sunday

After the match, a really excellent, extended video package airs to tell the journey of Ace Austin in TNA, leading up to his big TNA X-Division Championship showdown against Moose at TNA Genesis this Sunday night.

A lot was made of his connection to Chris Bey and how he’s doing this in his honor. The show heads into another commercial break after this wraps up.

The Hardys defeated PCO & Sami Callihan

It’s main event (match) time!

When the show returns, Sami Callihan’s music hits and out comes “The Death Machine” for the final match of the evening. He settles in the ring to a big pop from the Atlanta crowd, and then his partner’s entrance tune hits. Out comes “The French-Canadian Frankenstein.”

As PCO settles in the ring, the ominous and cryptic “It’s just a number” 23 vignette airs as the lights in the Impact Zone goes out. We move on, however, as the iconic sounds of The Hardys’ entrance tune hits. Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy make their way out for this non-title match.

If Callihan and PCO get the victory in this one, they will be added to the TNA Tag-Team title tilt at TNA Genesis involving The Hardys and The Rascalz. The bell sounds. It will be Jeff Hardy and Sami Callihan kicking things off for their respective teams. Fans loudly chant “Hardy! Hardy!”

Callihan jumps into the early offensive lead. He quickly tags in PCO. The two go for a double-team spot, but Matt hits the ring to prevent it. All four end up in a dramatic staredown before a wild brawl breaks out between all four guys.

As the fight spreads out to the floor, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. As soon as the show returns, The Hardys are seen hitting their trademark Poetry in Motion double-team spot on Callihan for a two-count. The Rascalz are shown in split-screen watching on.

Callihan takes back over on offense and tags in PCO. The big man hits the ring and continues to pummel Matt Hardy. Jeff eventually gets the much-needed hot tag to help shift the momentum back into the favor of The Hardys. Jeff hits his trademark Whisper in the Wind spot for a close two-count.

Jeff hits a Twist of Fate on Callihan. Matt follows up with a Twist of Fate on Callihan of his own. Jeff climbs to the top-rope and takes his shirt off. He hits a Swanton Bomb and goes for the cover. 1-2-3. The Hardys win. It will be The Hardys vs. The Rascalz in a pure tag-team title “dream match” at TNA Genesis. The show heads to another commercial break.

Nic Nemeth, Joe Hendry Go Face-To-Face

It’s main event (segment) time!

The show returns to an on-screen appearance by Hannifan and Rehwoldt. They plug TNA Genesis 2025 this Sunday. As they talk about the show, Jordynne Grace approaches the desk and puts a headset on while standing. She leaves a contract on the table and says Tessa Blanchard hasn’t signed yet.

She’s leaving it here so it’s easy to find and there are no excuses. Their match isn’t signed for Sunday yet, and Grace says if Blanchard doesn’t show up, it won’t be the first time. She storms off. The commentators finish running down the lineup for Sunday’s show.

Inside the Impact Zone, the familiar sounds of the viral smash hit, “I Believe in Joe Hendry” hits. Out comes the TNA home-grown star to the ring for the final segment of the evening. Nic Nemeth’s entrance tune hits next and the TNA World Champion joins him in the ring for their face-to-face.

Hendry begins on the microphone first. He talks about how he has to win this Sunday. He says he will, and a new era will begin in TNA, which will start with him lifting up the TNA World Championship. Fans react with loud “We believe! We believe!” chants.

Nemeth acknowledges that clearly everyone still believes in Joe Hendry. He says Hendry needs to know one thing, though. He knows what the TNA World Championship means to him and everyone else out there. He says he damn well better believe he knows what it’s like to hold that title.

Nemeth says this isn’t just a chance for a shot, or a music video or a tweet. This is every single day. It’s an entire different level, and you live that way every single day, not even sleeping some nights. He doesn’t know if Hendry is quite ready for that yet.

He says Hendry has earned everything he’s got so far, and he’s said it every step of the way. He wants to clear the air on one last thing. He asks the production truck to play a clip for him. We see footage of JBL taking out Hendry with a Clothesline from Hell at TNA Bound For Glory 2024, and then doing the same to Ryan Nemeth.

Nemeth says what JBL did was all on him. He says he was out and unaware it was even happening. He says when he came to, what he did see was JBL taking his brother’s head off. He says had he known he’d interfered, it’d of been a different story.

All he knew was his brother had his head taken off and Hendry was pulling himself into the ring. Hendry says let’s assume everything Nemeth said is true. He says one thing still doesn’t make sense. Ryan Nemeth’s theme hits. He tells Nemeth that Hendry is a two-timer.

He doesn’t care about the title or the fans or Nemeth. Joe Hendry cares about one thing — Joe Hendry. Hendry says he’s wasted enough time on Ryan Nemeth. Ryan tells him to say it to his face. Ryan hits the ring and Hendry hoists him up for a Standing Ovation, only for Nemeth to take him out with a super kick.

Nic and Ryan Nemeth stand over a fallen Hendry and look down at him. Hendry comes to and looks up at them. Fans chant “Kick your brother!” as Nic, who slowly walks over and picks up his TNA World Championship. He puts it on his shoulder and stands next to his brother.

He leaves the ring as his theme plays. Hendry continues to recover in the ring as Hannifan and Rehwoldt plug this Sunday’s TNA Genesis 2025 pay-per-view one final time. Tessa Blanchard hits the commentary desk and signs the contract that Grace left earlier.

She grabs Hannifan, but Grace shows up and snatches her up from behind. She slams her over the barricade and brings her in the ring. She hoists Blanchard up but Blanchard escapes out the back door. Blanchard goes for a move, but Grace blocks it. Grace yells, “This is MY division — MINE!”

She hits a Juggernaut Driver and leaves Blanchard laying. Her theme hits as she grabs Tessa and rolls her out of her ring. She stands tall in the ring as the TNA Genesis 2025 “go-home” episode of TNA Impact comes to a close. Thanks for joining us!

Stars from the main roster and elsewhere appeared during Tuesday’s NXT.

In the main event segment of the show, Roxanne Perez was talking about how the NXT women’s division would be lost without her. Bayley interrupted and attempted to give Perez some advice. Perez cut off Bayley and said she used to be her role model, but she has broken everyone’s records in NXT, including Bayley’s. The two ended the show getting into a brawl.

**********
After a video package recapping recent action heading into TNA Final Resolution airs, we shoot inside the Impact Zone for the final episode of the show before Friday night’s special event.

Moose defeated Cody Deaner to retain the TNA X-Division Championship

The awesome entrance tune for Moose hits and out comes The System leader with his TNA X-Division Championship around his waist. He settles inside the squared circle and gets on the microphone to start off this week’s show.

Moose talks about the title he has being one he will make sure is viewed as the top championship and most important in the company. He talks about Nic Nemeth having the TNA Championship, but it not having as much prestige as his title.

He talks about the legendary duo of The Hardys holding the TNA Tag-Team Championships and how they too aren’t getting as much attention as his title. He says fans are too busy chanting his name. The live crowd in attendance boos instead.

He says he doesn’t need any stupid people chanting his name. He doesn’t need their respect. When it is all said-and-done, he is going down as the best X-Division Champion in TNA history. The theme for Cody Deaner cuts him off.

Deaner says he was listening in the back “and with all due respect, you need to shut your damn mouth.” He talks about losing his way and losing his love for pro wrestling. He put his career fate in the hands of the people. Since he did that, it’s been the most fun he’s ever had in the business.

Moose points out that Deaner may have been having fun, but he hasn’t won a match since then. Deaner says he’s right but he thinks with the people behind him, he can win a match. If he has the people in North Carolina in attendance tonight behind him, he can beat Moose for the TNA X-Division Championship.

Moose says this is the easiest decision ever. He teases saying something else, but instead catches Deaner off-guard with a big boot to the chops. “Bring me a damn ref!” He says he’s going to give Deaner a shot at his title right now. He demands the bell be rung, and it is. A referee slides in the ring as Moose puts Deaner down with another big boot.

He gets back on the mic and says he wants to hear the fans chant “Cody! Cody!” They do — kind of — as Moose continues to beat him down. Moose says he’s got dinner plans, so it’s time to bring this show home. He goes for a spear, but Deaner side-steps him and sends him sailing through the ropes and out to the floor. Deaner splashes on him from the ring and sends him into the steps.

Back in the ring, Deaner tries leaping off the top, but Moose catches him. Deaner escapes and sends Moose into the corner, before rolling him up for a two-count. He hits a back-slide for another two-count. Moose goes for a suplex, but Deaner counters with a roll-up for yet another two-count.

Moose puts Deaner down with a big boot. Moose goes for another big move, but again Deaner surprises him but countering his way out of it. Deaner hits a big Sliced Bread for a super close two-count. He calls for a DDT, but Moose counters. Moose runs through Deaner with a spear for the pinfall to retain.

Gia Miller Interviews First Class & Tasha Steelz

Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro, as well as Tasha Steelz. She brings up Francis having a TNA title shot against Nic Nemeth, and Steelz having one against Masha Slamovich at TNA Final Resolution.

They talk about how tonight is only a small taste of what they are going to do on Friday night when they each win the top titles in their respective divisions. Francis calls this week the culmination of his entire career’s worth. He vows to chokeslam Nemeth a bunch and take his title. The show heads to a commercial break.

Rosemary defeated Xia Brookside

When the show returns, Mike Santana is shown backstage talking, when he is approached by Josh Alexander and The Northern Armory. “The Walking Weapon” makes it clear he’s out for him in the number one contender match at TNA Final Resolution on Friday night.

Back inside the Impact Zone, Rosemary makes her way to the ring for the second match of the evening. After she settles inside the squared circle, the American Pie soundtrack-sounding theme for her opponent hits, and out comes Xia Brookside.

The bell sounds to get things started, and the two quickly hit the mat for some amateur-style chain wrestling and submission attempts. Brookside controls the early offense, but upon restarting on their feet, Rosemary suplexes Brookside down and begins shifting the momentum in her favor.

Brookside takes over a few moments later and hits Broken Wings in the corner. After the double knees, she hits a Russian leg-sweep into a pin attempt, but only gets two. She applies a cross-face onto Rosemary and cranks away, but Rosemary hangs on. Rosemary ties her legs around Brookside and leans over the ring ropes.

Brookside rolls up an unsuspecting Rosemary, who kicks out at two. Rosemary runs into a back-elbow from Brookside in the corner. Brookside goes for a unique bridge-type pin attempt, but Rosemary counters into a sleeper-hold. She hits her finisher seconds later for the pinfall victory.

After the match, Rosemary continues to attack Brookside until we hear the familiar sounds of Jordynne Grace’s theme song. “The Juggernaut” sprints down to the ring in street clothes to run off Rosemary, making the save for Brookside. She checks on Brookside in the ring to end the post-match scene. The show heads into another commercial break.

The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Trey Miguel) defeated Leon Slater & Laredo Kid

When the show returns, Gia Miller is shown approaching Trent Seven backstage. She informs him that he will be facing Ace Austin at TNA Final Resolution on Friday night.

Seven says he already beat Austin and The Hardys at TNA Turning Point. Austin comes up and brings up his partner’s injuries and how he’s going to make sure Seven learns how the alphabet goes tomorrow night.

Back inside the Impact Zone, the theme for Leon Slater hits and he makes his way to the ring for scheduled tag-team action. His partner Laredo Kid makes his way out next to join him.

After they settle inside the squared circle, the entrance tune for their opposition hits and The Rascalz duo of Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel make their way out. Slater and Wentz kick things off after the bell sounds.

Following a big four-way stalemate spot, the two teams stare each other down as the crowd roars with approval in the background. On that note, the show heads into a mid-match commercial as Laredo and Miguel continue the action as the legal men in the ring for their respective teams.

When the show returns, Wentz is shown cranking away on the softened-up left arm of Slater in the middle of the ring. As things continue, The Rascalz hit a double-dive at the same time from the ring to the floor for a big pop.

Never one to be out-done in the high spot department, Slater hit a wild turning splash off the top of the ring post to the floor for an even bigger pop. Wentz gets a close two-count broken up by Kid after he and Miguel hit a double-team high spot on Slater.

Slater looked for a swanton 450 off the top, but was met with a super kick upon landing. The Rascalz follow up with their double-team finisher after that for the pinfall victory. Excellent match. Afterwards, the show heads into another commercial time out.

Sami Callihan & PCO defeated Jake Something & Hammerstone via Disqualification

When the show returns, The System are shown backstage for a quick promo segment. After Alisha Edwards’ annoying “Do you wanna know something?” intro, each member takes turns promoting their various matches at TNA Final Resolution on Friday night.

Inside the Impact Zone, Jake Something makes his way out, followed by his partner for this scheduled tag-team contest, Hammerstone. Sami Callihan’s heavy metal theme hits next and “The Death Machine” emerges. PCO’s entrance tune plays next and “The French-Canadian Frankenstein” makes his way out.

Callihan and Something kick things off for their respective teams upon the sound of the bell. Callihan gets Something down early and yells out to ask the crowd if they want to see him break his fingers. Of course the fans do, so Callihan cranks away at his digits as he writhes in pain.

PCO and Hammerstone tags in, however it is Hammerstone and Something who hit double-team offense to shift the momentum of the match in their favor for the first time. They begin utilizing frequent tags to keep a fresh man on PCO at all times, all-the-while keeping PCO isolated on their side of the ring.

After this continues for a couple of minutes, PCO hits a big dive to Something on the floor. PCO comes up bleeding. Callihan blasts Hammerstone in the ring. Callihan tags PCO and looks to help him with a double-team spot until Hammerstone uses a chair. The referee calls for the bell, giving Callihan and PCO the win via disqualification.

Cryptic “23” Returns For Second Week

After the match ruling, Hammerstone and Something are headed to the back when the cryptic 23 flashes on the screens. The lights in the building flicker on-and-off.

A unique voice is heard saying, “23 is just a number.” Callihan and PCO look confused when the lights come back on. On that note, the show abruptly heads into another commercial break.

Dani Luna defeated Heather By Elegance

As the show returns, one-half of the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Champions, Spitfire, makes her way out, as Dani Luna heads to the ring for the next match of the evening.

After she settles inside the squared circle, her music is cut off by the annoying voice of George Iceman. Iceman trashes the local crowd and then introduces Heather by Elegance, who comes out accompanied by Ash By Elegance.

Luna takes the initial offensive lead after jumping ahead at the sound of the bell. This continues until Iceman and Ash continue to get involved at ringside. The referee ejects Iceman from the ringside area upon getting caught.

Ash gets involved again, shifting the momentum back into Heather’s favor. After she gets involved again, Luna hits a big dive from the ring to the floor onto Ash. Back in the ring, she finishes Heather off for the win to tie up the series between Spitfire and the “by Elegance” duo. After the match, the show heads into another commercial break.

Nic Nemeth, Joe Hendry & Masha Slamovich defeated AJ Francis, KC Navarro & Tasha Steelz

It’s main event time!

When the show returns, Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt run down the updated lineup for Friday night’s year-end TNA Final Resolution 2024 special event from Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia. After they finish up, Tasha Steelz’ theme hits inside the Impact Zone.

Out comes “The Boricua Badass” for the final match of the evening. After she settles inside the squared circle, the First Class entrance tune hits to bring out her tag-team partners, the duo of AJ Francis and KC Navarro.

From there, as always, if you say his name … he appears. Someone must’ve said Joe Hendry, because the wildly popular TNA Wrestling star emerges to a rock star reception from the live crowd. He heats to the ring as the viral sensation, “I Believe in Joe Hendry” hits the house speakers.

Hendry leads the fans in the wave, per the song lyrics demands, and then does the dramatic soap opera turn and cheesy smile to complete the full ring entrance routine. His music fades down and the theme for his first partner hits.

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich emerges and looks ready to rock and roll. She heads to the ring as the commentators plug her title defense against Steelz at Friday night’s show. Finally, the suggestive female sound byte hits to bring out “The Wanted Man” Nic Nemeth.

As the TNA World Champion heads to the ring, Hannifan and Rehwoldt talk among themselves about Nemeth’s title defense against the man who talked himself into the opportunity, First Class’ AJ Francis. He settles in the ring as the show cuts to one more pre-match commercial break.

When the show returns, Hendry and Navarro kick things off for their respective teams at the sound of the bell. Hendry settles into the early offensive driver’s seat. The fans roar with approval as he takes it to one-half of First Class.

He scoops Navarro up for a stalled-suplex, turning and showing him to each side of the crowd before dropping him back on his dome. Nemeth tags in and takes over for a bit before bringing in the Knockouts champ.

Steelz is hesitant to enter the ring, but she does, and Slamovich turns her inside-out with a clothesline for a two-count. Navarro blasts Slamovich with a knee to the back upon her being whipped into the ropes. The crowd boos and Steelz takes over control of the offense from that point on.

On that note, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break as the six-person tag-team main event continues. When the show returns, Steelz tags in Navarro. He stops Slamovich from making the much-needed tag. He slaps a front facelock on her, but she kicks her way free and tags in Nemeth.

“The Wanted Man” fires up the fans in the Impact Zone as he shifts the offensive momentum in his team’s favor with a big fired-up comeback. The TNA World Champion hits a big neckbreaker and then the Jerry Lawler heart-attack special repeated elbow drop routine.

Steelz ties up the referee, which allows Francis to yank Nemeth down by his hair from the ring apron. Francis tags in from there and chokes Nemeth throat-first over the middle rope. Hendry ends up helping his team take over, as the crowd goes wild.

Hendry hits an impressive fall-away slam on the massive Francis. He leads the fans in a “We Will Rock You” stomp-stomp-clap sequence. One-by-one, we see bodies flying from the ring to the floor, with Hendry remaining in control of the offense in the ring.

He hits an Attitude Adjustment on Navarro and tags in Nemeth. Nemeth hits a follow-up Fame-Asser on Navarro. He goes for the cover, but Navarro breaks it up. Slamovich hits the ring, builds up a full head of steam and dives onto Steelz on the floor. Nemeth hits Danger Zone on Navarro seconds later for the win.

After the match, the action continues, as First Class attacks. Francis dumps Nemeth on his back with his finisher and takes a good, long look at the TNA World Championship laying in the ring. He picks a lifeless Nemeth up and hits another big colossal chokeslam.

He puts his foot on a fallen Nemeth’s unconscious chest and raises the TNA World Championship high over his head as First Class’ theme hits again to end the TNA Final Resolution 2024 “go-home” show. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air.

**********
The Countdown To Turning Point 2024 pre-show kicks off with Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcoming us to the show.

Joe Hendry Talks Turkey Ahead Of 2024 Turkey Bowl Match

Joe Hendry’s theme then hits and out he comes ahead of his Turkey Bowl match later in the evening. Hendry gets on the microphone and says he’d like to be in the world title picture, but instead he’s in the Turkey Bowl match. He brings up the other competitors in the match.

He has images of each participant flash on the screen. First up is Hammerstone. He says he’d be more marketable if he dressed up. We see Hammerstone with a turkey face. He asks the crowd if they should re-name him Hammer-Turkey or Turkey-Stone. The fans went with Turkey-Stone.

Hendry says unfortunately PCO can’t be here tonight, but he has been replaced by Rhino. He says he’d be better as another animal and we see a turkey over his face. Brian Myers’ image is put up next. He asks if the production crew can switch it to the worst pro wrestler of all-time.

The image blinks and the same image is shown. He asks the crowd if they’re ready for some wrestling action. He gets them to chant “T-N-A!” and then “We Believe!” to wrap things up.

Rosemary defeated Xia Brookside and Savannah Evans in a Knockouts triple-threat match

We move on to our first match of the evening, a triple-threat Knockouts match pitting Savannah Evans, Rosemary and Xia Brookside against each other. All three make their respective ring walks, the bell sounds and things get underway.

After some initial back-and-forth action, Evans starts to dominate on offense. Rosemary tries to steal the pin over Edwards, leading to Evans snatching Rosemary up and putting a scare into her. The two then turn their attention to Brookside, where they turn her inside-out with a double clothesline.

Evans and Rosemary jaw back-and-forth at each other again, and then head to go to work on Brookside again. This time, however, Brookside starts to fight back. She takes Rosemary out and knocks her out of the ring, before knocking Evans out to the ringside area with a dropkick.

Brookside goes for a middle-rope cross-body splash onto Evans and Rosemary, but they catch her and slam her on the ring apron with authority. The action resumes inside the ring, where Evans and Rosemary again team up and beat on Brookside together.

Their alliance ends soon after, with Rosemary thumbing Evans in the eye. Evans then levels Rosemary with a clothesline and sends Brookside back to the mat with a big boot to the chin.

We see some more back-and-forth action, and then Brookside hits a Brookside-Bomb on Evans off the ropes, but walks into a spear from Rosemary. Rosemary follows up with the cover for the win.

Gia Miller Interviews Steve Maclin

A Steve Maclin video package is shown, along with a look at the ongoing rivalry between Maclin and “The Walking Weapon” Josh Alexander. When it wraps up, Gia Miller is backstage with Steve Maclin. Maclin talks about Alexander making things very personal between them. He vows to make him pay tonight.

Hannifan and Rehwoldt run down the lineup for the show one final time as fans chant “TNA! TNA!” in the background. That’s how “Countdown to TNA Turning Point” wraps up. We now head into the pay-per-view portion of tonight’s big event as part of WrestleCade 2024 in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Mike Santana defeated Frankie Kazarian

The cold open video package airs to get things started and then we return inside the building, where Hannifan and Rehwoldt welcome us to the 19th annual TNA Turning Point. Mike Santana’s theme hits and out comes “The Realest” through the crowd for our opening contest.

Fans chant “Santana! Santana!” as he settles inside the squared circle. His music dies down, and then the theme for his opponent plays. Out comes the winner of the 2024 Call Your Shot Gauntlet, the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” Frankie Kazarian.

Santana goes after Kazarian, who early on tries everything he can to avoid the action. He leans through the ropes and hides behind the referee, but ultimately Santana gets his hands on him and jumps off into a comfortable early offensive lead.

He hits a springboard moonsault off the middle rope that looked scary for Santana. He follows that up with a dive through the ropes for a splash onto Kazarian on the floor. On the way back in the ring, Kazarian catches Santana coming through the ropes and shifts the offensive momentum into his favor.

Kazarian hits a leaping DDT to Santana on the ring apron. Santana is super slow to recover, and the commentators worked the serious voices for a few seconds there. Santana comes to life when leaping to the top like Kurt Angle, and throwing Kazarian overhead for a big comeback spot.

After some big moves attempted while running the ropes, Santana rolls through for a Rolling Buck-50 for a close two-count. Santana hits a big twisting-neckbreaker off the top-rope to Kazarian for another close two-count.

Kazarian fights back and slingshots Santana off the ring apron over the ropes and into the ring, catching him with a well-timed cutter on the way down for a close two-count of his own. Kazarian sets up Fade To Black, but Santana avoids it and hits a Spin The Block out of nowhere for the win.

Backstage With The System

Brian Myers is shown with the rest of The System, sans-JDC, backstage. Myers vows no one is going to see him in a turkey suit tonight. Moose sends a message to Laredo Kid ahead of his X-Division title defense.

He claims he’s taking his mask and sending him back to Mexico or Laredo, TX. Eddie Edwards finishes with a message for Nic Nemeth, making it clear he intends to leave tonight as the new TNA World Champion.

Joe Hendry defeated Brian Myers, Eric Young, John Skyler, Hammerstone and Rhino to win the 2024 Turkey Bowl

Back inside the building, The System theme hits and out comes Brian Myers first for our next match of the evening — the annual Turkey Bowl match! Eric Young makes his way out next. John Skyler comes out doing the Rick Rude “sweat-hogs” spiel. Hammerstone and Rhino follow, and finally, Joe Hendry.

The bell sounds and all six men immediately collide and splinter off into groups of two’s in various parts of the ring and ringside area. Hannifan speculates Hammerstone suffered an injury to his left leg as Young works over the lone competitor in the ring at the moment.

The referee calls for medical attention to check on Hammerstone as the match continues. He ends up remaining in the match, getting physically involved again just in time to be one of many competitors to be run over by a gore from Rhino. Myers takes out Rhino with a spear.

He sets up for another one, but runs into a Standing Ovation from Hendry. Hendry covers Myers and gets the pin. Brian Myers must wear the turkey suit. Hendry’s theme plays and he celebrates with the turkey suit in-hand. Myers tries to flee the scene, but is forced back into the ring.

Hendry hits an Attitude Adjustment on Myers and then he, Young and Rhino play to the crowd, who chants “Gore! Gore! Gore!” Young whips Myers into a gore from Rhino. Fans chant “Turkey Myers! Turkey Myers!” as the trio put the turkey suit on the unconscious Myers.

Rosemary Has Sights Set On TNA Knockouts Championship

Rosemary is shown in an empty stairwell talking crazy like always. She doesn’t care if it’s Jordynne Grace or Masha Slamovich, “we” have our sights set on that shiny, shiny prize.

“We want it and we will take it! We will take everything good in your lives. A harvester of despair!” She lets out one final psycho laugh and assures there is nothing anyone can do to stop her.

Moose (c) defeated Laredo Kid to retain the TNA X-Division Championship

Back inside the building, the X-Factors graphic flashes on the screen as Hannifan and Rehwoldt set the stage for our next match of the evening, which features the TNA X-Division Championship on-the-line.

Out comes masked fan-favorite Laredo Kid for his big title opportunity against the franchise and head honcho of The System — Moose. The bell sounds and Laredo gets right in Moose’s face. He shoves him to start things off.

Moose immediately begins manhandling his much smaller opposition. He sends him crashing and burning out to the floor with authority. He rams him into the barricade with vicious vengeance. Back in the ring, Alisha Edwards sneaks in some cheap shots on Kid from the floor.

Kid starts to show signs of life, fighting from underneath and blasting the big man with some strikes. He catches him with a wild Spanish Fly for a close two-count, but after that, Moose quickly took back over and ran over Kid with a spear for the win.

Steve Maclin defeated Josh Alexander in a No Disqualification match

The video package airs to tell the story leading up to our next match of the evening, which features Steve Maclin going one-on-one against “The Walking Weapon” Josh Alexander in a No Disqualification match.

Alexander makes his way to the ring first, with his trademark amateur wrestling headgear on. Out next wearing special war paint for the first time in a while is Maclin. The bell sounds and off we go with this No DQ showdown.

Maclin quickly takes it to Alexander, bringing the fight out to the floor. He drills Alexander with some stiff shots and then pulls a table out from under the ring and sets it up for a big pop.

They continue to fight outside the ring for several minutes on a floor with no protective mats, just a thin layer of carpet covering an unforgiving solid floor. Maclin hits a death valley driver on Alexander through the table.

Maclin grabs a steel chair and throws it in the ring. He grabs a trash can lid and whacks Alexander across the back with it. Back in the ring, Alexander starts to take over. He gets Maclin in the ankle lock temporarily. Long enough to mess up Maclin’s ankle, which he now focuses his attack on.

Alexander dumps Maclin back out to the floor in the pile of rubble that used to be a table. A light “Walking Weiner” chant spreads as “The Walking Weapon” continues to bring the fight to Maclin at ringside.

A “forbidden door” is pulled out from under the ring by Alexander, but Maclin dropkicks it into his face. Maclin picks the door up and knocks on it before setting it over top of a lifeless Alexander. He runs off the ring apron with a “Double Bang Bang” Cactus Jack-style elbow.

He then beats Alexander with the door, which like Rampage Jackson on a pissed off Ultimate Fighter set, quickly turns into a thousand toothpicks. Alexander fights back and uses what is left of the door to obliterate the leg of Maclin, which is wrapped around the ring post.

Alexander unfolds two steel chairs and sets them in the ring facing each other, seat-to-seat. He climbs up on them with both feet and picks up a lifeless Maclin, scooping him up for a pile driver, only for Maclin to escape and hit Alexander with an Alabama Slam onto the chairs. Fans chant “This is Awesome!”

Maclin goes to work on Alexander as the fans rally behind him. He hits a wild running busaiku knee through a steel chair to Alexander’s dome. Alexander recovers, however, and throws a chair at Maclin, Sabu-style, before launching him out to the floor with a Torture Rack Bomb through a table.

Alexander rolls what is left of Maclin into the ring and covers him, but somehow Maclin kicks out at two. Alexander immediately slaps an ankle lock on the weakened limb of Maclin. Maclin kicks Alexander off, sending him head-first into a trash can wedged in the turnbuckles in the corner.

Maclin hangs Alexander upside down in the tree of woe in the corner, with the trash can still wedged in the turnbuckles behind him. Maclin charges across the ring with a spear. And again. And a third time, which he follows up with a K.I.A.

He covers Alexander, and had him beat, but pulled him up after the count of two, favoring delivering more punishment over a guaranteed match victory in that moment. He heads out to the floor and reaches under the ring for the obligatory little black sack. What’s in this one? Bullet shell casings.

Maclin dumps the bullet shell casings in a big pile. He picks up Alexander for another K.I.A., but Alexander kicks Maclin low. Alexander hooks Maclin for a C4 Spike off the middle rope onto the bullet shell-casings, but Maclin avoids it and hits Alexander with a super-K.I.A. onto the shell-casings for the win. “Steve Maclin is bulletproof!” says Hannifan. Oh Tom. Now you’re being silly. Great match.

The Hardys & Ace Austin defeated Zachary Wentz, KUSHIDA & Matt Riddle

Hannifan and Rehwoldt mention Ace Austin is teaming up with North Carolina’s own The Hardys, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy, for a big six-man tag-team showdown against the team of Zachary Wentz, KUSHIDA and a mystery partner, due to Trey Miguel having travel issues.

Before things get rolling for this match, a pre-match video package airs to promote the GoFundMe campaign set up for Chris Bey, the ABC tag-team partner of Ace Austin. When it wraps up, Ace Austin makes his way out for his team. The Hardys head out next to a huge reaction to join him.

Matt Hardy stops to embrace with his wife, Reby Hardy, and their children, before settling inside the squared circle for one of the featured matches of the evening. The Hardys’ iconic theme wraps up and the “DELETE! DELETE!” chants spread throughout the building.

“Time-Splitter” KUSHIDA is out first for their opposition. Marty McFly’s favorite wrestler settles inside the ring as Hannifan and Rehwoldt talk on commentary about Trey Miguel’s travel issues. Zachary Wentz of The Rascalz is out next by himself.

Wentz gets on the microphone and says he went to The Treehouse to think of the only potential replacement. “BRO!” hits the house speakers and out comes Matt Riddle to enthusiastic chants of “BRO! BRO! BRO!” to fill the void left by Miguel. The bell sounds and off we go.

The Hardys pull some clever veteran tactics to help their team jump into the early offensive lead. Austin tags in and takes over, taking it to KUSHIDA as the crowd cheers him on. KUSHIDA ends up hitting a seated dropkick to Austin to slow him down. He then tags Riddle in for the first time of the evening.

Riddle is now in a TNA ring for the first time ever. He muscles up Austin and hits a rolling gut-wrench suplex sequence. Austin takes over and finally makes the hot tag to Matt Hardy.

Hardy helps shift the momentum back into his team’s favor and sets up Jeff for the finish for the win. The Hardys and Ace Austin show respect to Riddle and company afterwards in a feel-good moment.

Masha Slamovich (c) defeated Jordynne Grace 2-1 to retain TNA Knockouts Championship in 2 out of 3 Falls match

It’s time for championship action for the second time this evening, with the women up this time, as the TNA Knockouts Championship is on-the-line next in a 2 out of 3 falls match.

Former title-holder Jordynne Grace’s theme hits and “The Juggernaut” makes her way to the ring to a nice crowd reaction. She settles inside the squared circle, her music dies down, and the entrance tune for the reigning champion hits to bring out Masha Slamovich.

The bell sounds to get this title tilt officially off-and-running. The two stay clinched standing and grappling on the mat in the initial exchanges. The two are off to a slow, feeling-out-process type of start in what will no doubt be a lengthy showdown with three potential falls in store.

Grace hits multiple clotheslines and a spinebuster for a two-count in the first hard-hitting offense sequence in the match thus far. Slamovich fights back and hoists Grace up on her back, launching her throat-first across the ring ropes. Slamovich decks Grace with a big clothesline of her own.

Slamovich hits a package piledriver to Grace on the unprotected floor at ringside. Scary stuff. Fans chant “Women’s Wrestling!” Back in the ring, Slamovich looks for another package piledriver, but this time Grace avoids it and starts to take over.

She looks for a muscle buster, but Slamovich avoids it. Slamovich hits a big knee. The two each attempt multiple roll-ups and pin attempts. Grace ends up scoring the first fall to jump up 1-0.

Moments later, Slamovich nearly ties things up with a double-stomp into a cover, but Grace kicks out. Slamovich slaps a sleeper on Grace afterwards, however, and “The Juggernaut” begins to fade. The fans rally behind Grace, who comes to life and ultimately escapes.

Grace hits a Vertebreaker for a super close two-count for a near shutout. Slamovich kicks out and hangs on. Grace looks for the Juggernaut Driver, but Slamovich saw it coming and fought it off. Slamovich hits a wild tornado DDT and floats over into a deep guillotine choke. Grace begins fading.

The referee does the old-school Hulk Hogan arm-check one times, two times, but on the third, we get the always-fun defiant wrist-shake. Slamovich ends up getting a roll-up cradle out of nowhere for a three-count to tie things up at 1-1 heading into the third and final fall.

Grace immediately goes after Slamovich out of frustration and begins ground-and-pounding the hell out of her. Meanwhile, living up to her promise earlier in the show is Rosemary, who comes out of the shadows in the background to get a closer look at this championship contest.

Slamovich blasts Grace with a knee to the face and follows up with a sit-out powerbomb. She then hits a package piledriver for the pinfall victory. Slamovich wins 2-1 to retain her TNA Knockouts Championship. Rosemary is still watching in the background with a specific target now in her sights.

Nic Nemeth (c) defeated Eddie Edwards (w/ Alisha Edwards) to retain the TNA World Championship

It’s main event time!

But first, Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt check-in with a brief on-camera appearance to announce three matches for the December 5 post-Turning Point episode of TNA iMPACT on AXS TV and TNA+ (see below). We then see the video package to tell the story leading up to our TNA World Championship main event.

Back inside the building, The System theme hits to bring out Eddie Edwards. He settles inside the squared circle accompanied by Alisha Edwards, and his music dies down. After the always-present audible female, well, moan, we hear the 1980s hair-metal sounding entrance tune for “The Wanted Man” Nic Nemeth.

The ring announcer handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for the champion and the challenger, and then the bell sounds to get the final match of the 19th annual TNA Turning Point show officially off-and-running.

Nemeth jumps off in the early offensive lead, but after Alisha makes her presence felt from the ringside area, Eddie Edwards starts to shift the momentum in his favor. Edwards controls the action for a few minutes, stopping to distract the referee long enough for Alisha to sneak in some cheap shots from ringside again.

Nemeth fights back into competitive form, and just as it seems he’s about to pull back ahead, Alisha plays a momentum shifting factor again, jumping on the apron and allowing Edwards to hit a dropkick off the distraction.

Fans chant “Alisha Sucks!” and ,”F**k The System!” as Edwards continues to work over Nemeth. Nemeth finally decks Edwards, and now both guys are down and slowly getting back to their feet. They do, and then begin trading shots back-and-forth in the middle of the ring.

A headbutt from Nemeth allows him to pull ahead, only for Alisha, yet again, to get involved and affect the momentum of the match. The referee caught it this time and ejects her from ringside to the delight of the Winston-Salem crowd.

Nemeth calls for the FameAsser, only to walk into a counter from Edwards. Nemeth starts to fight back again, and this time he hits a FameAsser. He goes for the cover, but only gets two. As he gets up, we see Alisha Edwards, who was ejected from ringside, re-appear.

Nemeth grabs her from the ring apron, but ducks when Edwards charges at him. Nemeth gets hit with a cheap shot with the title. Edwards follows up with a Boston Knee Party for a super close two-count. Alisha is still at ringside, prompting Hannifan to yell and complain on commentary about why that is simply being allowed all of a sudden. Excellent question, by the way.

Edwards goes for the Die-Hard-driver, but Nemeth counters and hits his Danger Zone finisher for a super close two-count of his own. “Holy hot damn!” exclaims Rehwoldt. An actual quote. Hannifan goes back on the verbal offensive over Alisha being allowed to remain at ringside.

Both guys end up laid out on the floor at ringside, when out of nowhere, out runs Brian Myers, still decked out head-to-toe in the turkey suit that was put on him earlier. He hits the ring but before he can do anything, JBL appears in the crowd.

Hannifan plays Bobby Heenan on commentary, questioning who’s side he is on as he approaches the ring. He enters the ring and lays out Turkey Myers with a Clothesline from Hell. Fans chant “JBL! JBL!” as he simply exits the ring and leaves once again without saying a word or doing anything other than landing a devastating match-outcome-altering clothesline.

Nemeth drags himself back in the ring. Edwards does the same. The two mix it up, with Nemeth landing a super-kick and Danger Zone for the win. With the win, Nic Nemeth is still your TNA World Champion. Hannifan says it’s time we get some answers regarding JBL’s relationship with Nemeth, as Nemeth poses on the ropes with his title.

That’s how TNA Turning Point 2024 goes off the air from WrestleCade 2024 in Winston-Salem, N.C. Thanks for joining us and don’t forget to follow F4WOnline.com’s Matt Boone on Twitter/X.

Big Vinny V: TNA Impact & the road to Friday’s Turning Point

Posted on by Vincent Verhei

Image: TNA

This past Thursday’s TNA Impact was dedicated to building up Turning Point and this week’s Big Vinny V Show is dedicated to talking about that effort.

That build up was the theory, at least. The good news is we now know Masha Slamovich will be defending the Knockouts title against Jordynne Grace and there’s reason to believe it will be even better than last time.

Otherwise? We had Ash by Elegance going on a win streak against the Knockouts Tag Team Champions, Mike Santana and Frankie Kazarian having a promo battle to give the former something to do on the streaming app special, a tag team match that set up a challenger for Moose’s X-Division title in bizarre fashion, and a trios match with nothing on the line that will led to a three-way trios match with nothing on the line.

Oh, and a mini-movie exploring the horrors of warfare and Steve Maclin’s PTSD.

We’ll try to make it fun on the all-new Big Vinny V Show!

TNA Impact live results: No DQ Knockouts title match

Posted on by Matt Boone

Tonight’s TNA Impact continues the road to next Friday’s Turning Point, headlined by a no DQ title match between Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich and Alisha Edwards.

The winner will defend the title at Turning Point, possibly against Jordynne Grace who has yet to be confirmed for the streaming special.

In a trios match, TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardys will team with Ace Austin to take on the hard-hitting trio of Trent Seven, Hammerstone & Jake Something who jumped the babyfaces last week.

In a preview of a likely Knockouts Tag Team title match next Friday, Spitfire’s Jody Threat will face Ash by Elegance.

After their skirmish last week, Frankie Kazarian will take on Rhino.

**********
Masha Slamovich (c) defeated Alisha Edwards in a No Disqualification match to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship

After Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us to the show in Fayetteville, North Carolina, the theme for Alisha Edwards hits and out comes The System member for her big championship opportunity. She settles in the ring and then her opponent, reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich, makes her way out. The Tale of the Tape graphic flashes on the screen before things get started.

Jade Chung then handles the final formal pre-match ring introductions for the champion and the challenger. As Slamovich was introduced, Edwards sneak-attacks her to get the early offensive jump. The bell sounds and Edwards continues to work over the champ in the corner of the ring.

Edwards grabs a kendo stick to use in this No DQ bout, but Slamovich avoids the shot and takes over. Edwards uses a chair as the action spills out to the floor. She takes over control of the offense, rolls Slamovich back into the ring and brings the chair with her. She hits a DDT on the chair for a two-count.

Slamovich pulls out a trash can and throws it in the ring after she starts to take back over on offense. She sits it upside down in the ring and slams Edwards’ face into it like a turnbuckle. She then does the same with the turnbuckle and hoists her up. She climbs up after her in front of the vertically-placed trash can.

She looks for a superplex, but Edwards thumbs Slamovich in the eye to avoid it. She power bombs her on the top of the trash can while it was sitting upside down. Ouch. She goes for the cover, but only gets two. Edwards grabs a kendo stick and begins wearing out the champ with repeated shots.

Slamovich eventually blocks one of the shots, gets the kendo stick from her and blasts her with it. She follows that up with a package piledriver and goes for the cover. 1-2-3. Slamovich wins and retains the TNA Knockouts Championship.

Tasha Steelz immediately hits the ring and attacks Slamovich. Jordynne Grace’s theme hits and out comes “The Juggernaut” to run Steelz and Edwards off. It will be Slamovich vs. Grace at TNA Turning Point for the TNA Knockouts Championship. After the match, the show heads to a commercial break.

Jody Threat defeated Ash By Elegance (w/ George Iceman & Heather By Elegance)

When the show returns, The Rascalz duo of Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel are backstage with KUSHIDA. The three talk about having eyes on The Hardys & Ace Austin’s showdown against Trent Seven, Hammerstone and Jake Something, as well as their match at TNA Turning Point.

Back inside the Impact Zone, Spitfire’s theme hits and out comes Jody Threat accompanied by Dani Luna. Luna wishes her well and heads to the back. After Threat settles in the ring, George Iceman comes out vowing to help make North Carolina great again.

He introduces Ash By Elegance, who comes out with Heather by Elegance. The bell sounds and Ash rolls out to the floor to avoid Threat. She rolls back in just in time to beat the referee’s count, and then turns and rolls right back out to the ringside area again.

When she comes back in, Threat starts to take it to her, only for her to butt-scoot and beg off. Heather gets involved from the floor and this allows Ash to take over and settle into a comfortable offensive lead.

Threat fights back into the lead, but when she goes for a top-rope spot, Heather distracts the ref and Iceman holds onto Ash. Threat crashes and burns on the mat down below, and Ash follows up with her finisher for the win. After the match, the show heads into another commercial break.

Mike Santana, Frankie Kazarian Have Sights Set On The Throne

When the show returns, Mike Santana’s theme hits and out he comes through the crowd. He settles in the ring and gets on the microphone. He talks about how everyone can relate to people doubting someone trying to achieve their wildest dreams.

He makes everyone a promise that he will sit atop the throne and become TNA World Champion. As he continues talking, he is cut off by the familiar sounds of the theme song of Frankie Kazarian. Out comes the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” taking issue with him talking about sitting in the throne.

He says the only throne he’s gonna sit on is a toilet somewhere in the Bronx. He says if anyone is gonna sit on the throne, it’s “The King of TNA” Frankie Kazarian. He says Santana beat Moose and that’s cool, but it’s only one win.

He boasts having the Call Your Shot trophy. Santana tells Kazarian he and his trophy smell like douchebags. Santana says before he was interrupted, he wanted to put Nic Nemeth on notice and let him know there is a new contender in line.

He says since Kazarian is out here, he’s got no problem cracking his skull. Kazarian tells him to put his hot Puerto Rican temper in his back-pocket. He will gladly send him back to the slums and streets he’s from, but he’s got bigger and better things to do as well.

He says he’ll be at TNA Turning Point and he’s gonna have his sights set on the Nemeth title bout. Santana says it’s funny he brings up Turning Point, because he doesn’t have a match yet. Kazarian says he doesn’t either, he’s taking the night off.

Santana says there’s no nights off in TNA, and he knows Santino Marella is in the back somewhere. He says he’s gonna find him and make this official. Santana tells Kazarian the people have spoken and tells him good luck tonight with Rhino, because there’s no more running for his ass.

Frankie Kazarian defeated Rhino

“Gore! Gore! Gore!” hits the house speakers and the theme for TNA Hall of Fame legend “The War Machine” Rhino plays. He makes his way out to the ring and immediately runs over Kazarian to get this match off to a hot start.

Fans chant “Rhino! Rhino!” as Kazarian re-groups at ringside as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, we see Rhino dominating the majority of the action, eliciting “You still got it!” chants from the Fayetteville crowd.

After some more back-and-forth action, we see Kazarian pull off the win out of nowhere when he snuck his feet on the ropes during a pin attempt on the newest addition to the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame. Fans boo like crazy as Kazarian taunts them with his trophy. He turns around and is run over by a gore from Rhino for a big pop.

Steve Maclin Mini Movie

In some weird, depressing mini-movie, we return to see Steve Maclin in a bar having a drink, lost in thought as sad music plays. He leaves and then Eric Young takes a seat at the same bar. We follow Maclin to his hotel where he takes a shower, looks at pictures and sleeps.

He then thinks about his military background and goes to some police station where someone walks in and sets a cop badge down. The camera pans up and it’s Eric Young. Someone pulls a chair up next to him and sits down. It’s Eric Young. Young asks Maclin if he knows why he’s here.

Young and Maclin talk in Sopranos-style psychiatrist-fashion. We see shots of the jail cell that Young returned to TNA in. Young starts yelling “Wake up Steve!” and then Maclin is shown waking up in his hotel to knocks at his door.

He opens the door and it’s, you guessed it, Eric Young. He smiles and the very bizarre, but high-quality, segment comes to an end.

Leon Slater & Laredo Kid defeated Moose & JDC

Back inside the Impact Zone, Leon Slater’s theme hits and out he comes for our next match of the evening. He settles in the ring and then his partner, Laredo Kid, makes his way out. The opponents for the two high-flyers, Moose and JDC of The System, make their way out next.

The entire group of The System come out showing off the new rings they all have after their lengthy ring presentation ceremony that took place last week. They all touch fists together like The Shield in their prime WWE days, and then Moose and JDC head to the ring while the others head to the back.

The bell sounds and Kid and JDC kick things off for their respective teams. Kid gets off to a fast start, but JDC takes over control of the action and tags in Moose. Moose delivers some punishment before Kid eventually makes the tag to Slater.

Slater hits the ring with a ton of energy, using his speed and quickness to blast Moose with a series of dropkicks in the corner of the ring. He hits a big high spot to a pile of bodies on the floor a few moments later for a big pop. Slater ends up catching JDC off-guard with a roll-up for the pin.

JDC immediately attacks Slater after the win. Moose joins in on the fun. He powerbombs Slater and directs traffic, ordering JDC to hit Down N’ Dirty off the top-rope. Laredo Kid comes in from behind with a steel chair and makes the save, running off The System duo. After things wrap up, we head to another break.

Joe Hendry Live

The show returns to the viral smash hit, “I Believe in Joe Hendry.” As always, “say his name, and he appears.” And he does, to the roar of the crowd in Fayetteville. He starts off talking about Thanksgiving being right around the corner.

Hendry says he has a lot to be thankful for this year. He says his goal is clear, though, and that is to become the TNA World Champion. He says instead he’s in a Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl match at TNA Turning Point. Instead of holding the title like he should, he might be standing here in a giant turkey suit.

He says greatness is worth the chance of humiliation. If he can beat five other TNA stars he gets that much closer to becoming TNA World Champion. He says when you have a dream and a goal, you go all the way to achieve that dream. He says anything is possible when you believe. His theme hits again to end the segment.

Nic Nemeth Ready To Steal The Show At TNA Turning Point 2024

Backstage, Nic Nemeth says it sounds like everyone still believes in Joe Hendry, but he’s focused on TNA Turning Point 2024 right now. With that in mind, he’s got his sights set on Eddie Edwards.

He says he’s ready to continue to set an example of what it takes to be a fighting champion. Nemeth says at Turning Point, the Wanted Man does what he does best, he steals the show and stays your TNA World Champion.

Savannah Evans defeated Brittany Jade

Back inside the Impact Zone, the theme for Savannah Evans hits and out she comes. Already in the ring is her opponent, Brittany Jade.

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our next match of the evening. Evans dominates from bell to bell in a squash match, ending things with a Full Nelson Slam for the easy win. The show heads to another commercial break.

Jake Something, Hammerstone & Trent Seven defeated The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy) & Ace Austin

When the show returns, we see Masha Slamovich backstage with the TNA Knockouts Championship, when Jordynne Grace approaches her. The two end up deciding to settle things once and for all to find out who is the best. Their title tilt at Turning Point is now a 2 out of 3 falls match.

Back inside the Impact Zone, the ring entrances for our six-man tag-team main event of the week begin, as Jake Something makes his way out to the ring. Next out is Hammerstone and then Trent Seven, to a ton of boos. The trio settles in the ring and awaits the arrival of their opposition.

Out first for the babyface team is Ace Austin, who does a tribute for his ABC tag-team partner Chris Bey. His theme dies down and the iconic sounds of The Hardys entrance tune plays to bring out North Carolina’s own Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy.

The show heads into a quick pre-match commercial break before things get underway. When we return, the bell sounds and Matt Hardy and Hammerstone kick things off for their respective teams. The Hardys do well early on, with Jeff tagging in and picking up where Matt left off.

After the trademark Poetry in Motion double-team spot, The Hardys lose control of the action, and we see Trent Seven begin shifting the offensive momentum in his team’s favor as the show heads into another mid-match commercial break.

The show returns to wild action that is all over the place. The crowd comes to life as their hometown legends The Hardys start hitting trademark spots again. Jeff hits a Swanton, both guys hit dueling Twist of Fates on the floor. Fans chant “Hardy! Hardy!”

Back inside the ring, Ace Austin is rev’d up and ready to go like a young Dana White, when Trent Seven blasts him with a low blow that the referee doesn’t see. He follows that up with the Burning Hammer for the win. The crowd boos like crazy.

Trent continues his heel antics afterwards until The Rascalz and KUSHIDA run out to make the save. The three shake hands with their opponents for TNA Turning Point, The Hardys and Ace Austin. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us and don’t forget to follow F4WOnline.com’s Matt Boone on Twitter/X.

Big Vinny V: TNA Bound for Glory recap

Posted on by Vincent Verhei

Image: TNA

Last Saturday featured TNA Wrestling’s biggest show of the year — Bound for Glory — with some very high highs and a few very low lows.

The highs: Vikingo vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey in a spectacular X-Division showcase, PCO vs. Matt Cardona destroying each other for our entertainment; and Masha Slamovich vs. Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts title in one of the company’s best matches all year.

The lows? A string of referees who did not understand the assignment, most notably Frankie Kazarian, and wishy-washy booking that completely ruined the Nic Nemeth vs. Joe Hendry World title match.

We break it all down on the newest Big Vinny V Show!

Masha Slamovich wins Knockouts title at TNA Bound for Glory

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Masha Slamovich is the new Knockouts Champion.

Slamovich won the title in the first of three main events that took place at Saturday’s TNA Bound for Glory in Detroit. The finish saw Grace attempt for a Grace Driver off the top rope. Slamovich instead fought her way through and connected with a superplex. She followed that up with a piledriver to secure the win, becoming Knockouts Champion for the first time.

After the match, Slamovich brought Grace to her feet and the two hugged.

Grace had been champion for most of the year, holding it for 288 days. She defeated Trinity (Naomi) for the title at TNA Hard to Kill on January 14. Grace had cashed in her Call Your Shot title match that she had won at last year’s Bound for Glory.

Saturday’s match was a rematch from two years ago when Grace met Slamovich at Bound for Glory 2022. In that match, Grace pinned Slamovich to retain the title.
