Four new matches are official for TNA Sacrifice on Friday, March 8. 

After potential top contenders Tasha Steelz & Xia Brookside went to a double countout on Thursday’s Impact, Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace announced that she would defend her title against both competitors at Sacrifice in a triple threat bout. 

Nic Nemeth will also return to a TNA ring at Sacrifice against Steve Maclin. MAcin defeated Mike Bailey on Thursday’s Impact, then called Nemeth out.

A trios match has also been added to the Sacrifice card. New X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali will team with John Skyler & Jason Hotch against Chris Sabin, KUSHIDA & Kevin Knight at the event after the trio crashed Ali’s title celebration ceremony on Impact. 

Also set for the show is Josh Alexander vs. new TNA signee Alex Hammerstone in a rematch from January’s Hard to Kill show. We covered Hammerstone’s signing here.

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alex Hammerstone has signed with TNA Wrestling. 

TNA announced during Thursday’s Impact episode that Hammerstone has signed with the company and will face Josh Alexander at Sacrifice on Friday, March 8 in a Hard to Kill rematch. 

Hammerstone announced last October that he had requested his release from MLW, but later returned to the promotion in November. He later revealed that his contract with the company expired at the end of 2023 and that he planned to hit free agency as 2024 began, posting a video on social media on January 1 issuing an open challenge. 

TNA’s Josh Alexander accepted the open challenge and the two met at Hard to Kill in January, with Alexander scoring a victory in the first meeting. A rematch between the two has now been announced for the TNA Plus Sacrifice special on Friday, March 8. 

Aside from his one TNA match this year, Hammerstone has also wrestled for GCW and a variety of independent promotions as a free agent. 

There is no word from TNA as to whether Hammerstone’s deal makes him exclusive to the company. 

Five matches are currently set for Sacrifice. The current lineup: 

TNA Sacrifice, Friday, March 8 on TNA Plus —

  • TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace defends against Xia Brookside & Tasha Steelz in a triple threat
