New World Champion to appear on TNA Turning Point pre-show

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The pre-show for TNA Turning Point will include an appearance by the promotion’s new World Champion.

On last night’s live episode of Impact, Frankie Kazarian cashed in his Call Your Shot trophy on Mike Santana to become the new TNA World Champion. TNA has now announced that Kazarian will appear on the Turning Point pre-show tonight for a talking segment named “The King’s Speech.”

A tag team match is also set for the Turning Point main card with Kazarian & Nic Nemeth facing Santana & Steve Maclin. Nemeth was the co-winner of the Call Your Shot gauntlet match at Bound for Glory alongside Kazarian.

Kazarian’s victory put an abrupt end to Santana’s title reign, which began last month at Bound for Glory with the babyface Santana conquering NXT’s Trick Williams to bring the World Championship back to TNA. The story will presumably now be Santana chasing Kazarian in an attempt to get the title back.

Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida is hosting Turning Point tonight and a TNA TV taping tomorrow. The Turning Point main card airs live for TNA+ subscribers starting at 8 p.m. Eastern, while the pre-show begins at 7:30 p.m. and will stream free on TNA+ and YouTube.

Tag team match announced for TNA Turning Point

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A tag team match with potential title implications has been booked for TNA Turning Point 2025.

It’s been announced that TNA World Champion Mike Santana will team up with International Champion Steve Maclin at Turning Point this Friday. They’re facing Nic Nemeth & Frankie Kazarian, who were the co-winners of the Call Your Shot gauntlet match at Bound for Glory. Both Nemeth and Kazarian are now owed title shots that they can cash in on any champion of their choosing at any point over the next year.

Santana defeated Trick Williams in the Bound for Glory main event to become the new TNA World Champion. Earlier on the pay-per-view, Maclin defeated Kazarian to win back the International title.

Kazarian was the winner of the 2024 Call Your Shot gauntlet as well but failed to win the TNA World Championship when he cashed in.

After a one-month hiatus following Bound for Glory, TNA is back with a live Impact episode this Thursday (November 13) and Turning Point on Friday (November 14). The shows are both being held in Orlando, Florida at Full Sail University.

Turning Point will air live for TNA+ subscribers. This is the first announced match.

Posted on by Joseph Currier

TNA Wrestling has finalized its schedule for the remainder of 2025, adding two more streaming specials to the calendar.

It was announced today that Turning Point 2025 — a TNA+ special — will take place at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida on Friday, November 14. Along with that, TNA will hold a live Impact episode and a night of TV tapings at Full Sail.

The final TNA+ special of the year will then be Final Resolution 2025 on Friday, December 5. El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas is hosting that show as well as a weekend of TV tapings.

Tickets for the Orlando and El Paso events will be available on pre-sale starting at 10 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday, October 15. Tickets will then go on sale to the general public on October 17.

TNA is billing the El Paso dates as “Fan Appreciation Weekend” with the following perks:

  • All fans who purchase tickets for all three shows in El Paso will receive an exclusive TNA Wrestling Fan Appreciation Weekend baseball hat. (The tickets must be purchased on the same transaction.)
  • Private Meet & Greets with select TNA stars for purchase.
  • In-ring photos for purchase.

Here is the full list of newly announced dates, which are taking place in the aftermath of TNA’s October 12 Bound for Glory pay-per-view:

  • Friday, November 14: Turning Point 2025 at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida

TNA Wrestling adding six new dates, returning to familiar city

Posted on by Josh Nason

TNA Wrestling is preparing for their end-of-year run, adding six new dates to their calendar for November and December that could portend announcements for both Turning Point and Final Resolution.

Revealed on their events page, the company will head to their familiar stomping grounds of Orlando, Florida, from Thursday, November 13 through Saturday, November 15 which is assumed to be a live edition of Impact, perhaps their November Turning Point streaming special, and a TV taping.

TNA then heads to El Paso, Texas, for Friday, December 5 through Sunday, December 7 which could be their December Final Resolution streaming special followed by two nights of TV tapings to finish out the year and perhaps into 2026 ahead of the yet-to-be announced Genesis pay-per-view.

In both cases, ticket information and the venues have yet to be revealed.

The company typically runs “best of” shows to close out the calendar which seems likely to happen again given that both Christmas and New Year’s Day are on Thursday this year.

Trey Miguel to miss TNA Turning Point event

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Trey Miguel of The Rascalz won’t be able to appear at TNA Turning Point tonight.

Ahead of the show, TNA Wrestling posted a video this afternoon announcing that Miguel is off the card due to travel complications. He was supposed to team with Zachary Wentz & KUSHIDA in a six-man tag match against The Hardys & Ace Austin. The match will still be happening with a replacement for Miguel to be named tonight.

“The show must go on, the match must go on,” Wentz said. “We’ll find a suitable partner.”

The Hardys are the current TNA Tag Team Champions with The Rascalz (Miguel & Wentz) looking to get a shot at their belts.

Turning Point is being held in Winston-Salem, North Carolina as part of the annual Thanksgiving weekend WrestleCade convention. The main card streams live on TNA+ with a start time of 7 p.m. Eastern.

Three-way match set for TNA Turning Point pre-show

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A three-way match is scheduled for the TNA Turning Point pre-show this Friday night.

TNA Wrestling announced today that Rosemary vs. Xia Brookside vs. Savannah Evans will take place on Countdown to Turning Point. The pre-show broadcast streams live on TNA+ and the promotion’s digital platforms for free starting at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time on Friday.

In promoting this match, TNA billed it as a way for the winner to get some momentum in the Knockouts division:

  • It’s all about momentum when three surging Knockouts – Xia Brookside, Savannah Evans and Rosemary – clash on the Countdown to Turning Point. Rosemary recently cut ties with NXT’s Wendy Choo, vanquishing her in a No Disqualifications match. Meanwhile, Savannah Evans made her impactful return to TNA, taking out Léi Yǐng Lee in the process. Then you have Xia Brookside, who is looking to continue her rise following success on Xplosion. Who will come out on top, poised for greatness?

Masha Slamovich — the current Knockouts Champion — has a title defense against Jordynne Grace at Turning Point. The event is being held in Winston-Salem, North Carolina as part of the annual Thanksgiving weekend WrestleCade convention.

Turning Point’s main card begins at 7 p.m. Eastern on TNA+. Here’s the updated lineup for the show:

The Hardys set for six-man tag match at TNA Turning Point

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Matt & Jeff Hardy will be involved in a six-man tag match at TNA Turning Point 2024.

At the November 29 special, The Hardys will team up with Ace Austin against The Rascalz & KUSHIDA. The show is taking place from Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and will stream live on TNA+.

The Hardys won the TNA Tag Team titles in a Full Metal Mayhem match at Bound for Glory this October. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) could put themselves in line for a title shot with a victory in this six-man tag.

Austin’s regular tag team partner is Chris Bey, who is recovering from neck surgery after suffering a serious injury at a TNA taping last month. Bey & Austin were facing The Hardys when the injury happened.

Turning Point is being held in Winston-Salem during the annual Thanksgiving weekend WrestleCade convention, which features autograph signings with legends and current stars along with several other events.

Jonah debuts at Impact Turning Point, attacks Josh Alexander

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Jonah, the former Bronson Reed, made an appearance at Impact Wrestling’s Turning Point event on Impact Plus tonight in Las Vegas.

Josh Alexander was in the ring, discussing his recent Impact World title loss to Moose, saying he would be at ringside for tonight’s World title match between Moose and Eddie Edwards. Jonah then arrived, jumping Alexander from behind. He repeatedly laid out Alexander with sentons amd attacked referees who attempted to halt the beatdown. Jonah walked away, only to return and attacked Alexander again, taking blood from Alexander’s mouth and spreading it across his shirt.

Jonah made his first appearance outside WWE last weekend, when he made his New Japan Pro Wrestling debut at their Battle in the Valley event in San Jose. He walked down to the ring and confronted Moose, who had just defeated Juice Robinson. The two had a staredown, but eventually Jonah attacked both Robinson and David Finlay, who had attempted to make the save for his tag team partner.

Two new champions were crowned tonight at Impact’s Turning Point event.

The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) won the Impact Tag Team titles, defeating the North following a Magic Killer on Ethan Page. The North only held the titles for 21 days, regaining the titles in a fatal four way match on Impact that also involved Ace Austin & Madman Fulton and The Good Brothers.
