Sami Zayn heads to the ring. Sami says that the "ride or dies" showed up in full force for him in Europe compared to Providence, Rhode Island, and says the fans can either sit there with a sour look on their faces and boo him or ride and die with "the last real good guy." Sami then says that something has been brewing for months and months, and that it needs to come to an end. He says that he needs to clear the air, and asks that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes come to the ring. Cody comes to the ring, and Sami says they have had months' worth of misunderstandings where he helps Cody and ends up paying for it while Cody stands all, and wants to know if this is in an accident. Cody says that he cannot just turn this off and that they should not be in the ring this way. As Cody mentions WrestleMania 40, Sami says he was and still is happy for him, but mentions that Cody has lost past friends and wants to if it is them of if it is Cody.

He says that Jacob used to be a killer that everyone was afraid of and was so close to beating Roman. Solo says Roman has done nothing but embarrass and humiliate him, which is not how someone treats somebody they love. Solo then tells Jacob to tell Roman that he can go to Hell.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for June 11, 2026

Mike Santana retains the TNA World Championship against Eric Young. During the match, Eric Young knocks out the referee, and Santana has to revive the referee after hitting Eric Young with Spin the Block. Eric Young hits a low blow, then grabs the TNA World Championship to use as a weapon despite TNA President Carlos Silva's pleas. He hits Santana with the title, then hits Santana with a piledriver. Santana somehow gets his hand on the bottom rope. Young then puts the World title in the center of the ring, then Ricky Sosa shows up for the first time since Eric Young took him out. This gives Santana enough of a breather to roll Eric Young to win and retain. After the match, Eric Young runs to the back to go after Ricky Sosa, and TNA President Carlos Silva is about to personally hand the TNA World Championship to Santana only for "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth to show up with the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy. Instead of cashing in on Santana, he helps Santana up, then takes the microphone and says that while he could pick the bones and cash in, he is a man of his word, and he will call his shot at Slammiversary. Nemeth says he does not want tricks, traps, excuses or an asterisk next to his name, and issues the challenge for Slammiversary to Santana, who is handed the TNA World Championship by Carlos Silva. Both Santana and Nemeth have a staredown, then shake hands.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero). Mustafa Ali gives "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth a round of applause for calling his shot at Slammiversary against Mike Santana, calling it "idiotic, but honorable." He says that while he lost to KC Navarro, Navarro lost his uncle earlier this week. He talks about how Navarro called his uncle a fighter until the bitter end, then says Navarro will do the same thing and lose to him. He then distastefully gives condolences to Navarro's family for the loss of Navarro's uncle as well as Navarro himself.

Before the next match, The Personal Concierge George Iceman introduces Mr. Elegance as a future TNA champion, "the spawn seed of the gods," "a titan amongst men with a body composition of 1% body fat," and "the opposite of all of you pigs." When Elijah makes his entrance, Elijah mentions AJ Francis trying to take his likeness and silence his voice as well as his fans', then says that is not going to happen. All of a sudden, a lawyer shows up and tells Elijah that he has been served. Mr. Elegance shoves Elijah into the lawyer and beats Elijah in mere seconds with an inside cradle. Mr. Elegance beats Elijah. After the match, AJ Francis mocks Elijah for losing the match just like he lost the rights to his image and will lose the lawsuit he just got slapped with, then boasts about making a lot of money while the fans cannot do anything about it. Elijah clotheslines AJ Francis out of the ring, then beats him up and takes it into the crowd as he goes. Meanwhile, Mr. Elegance celebrates his victory in the ring until Lei Ying Lee shows up and beats him up. Xia Brookside then gets in the ring and attacks Lei Ying Lee, and Brookside goes for Darkside only for Lei Ying Lee to fight back and hit Warrior's Way. Lei Ying Lee then goes up tot he top rope only for Brookside to escape.

As per the Bioflex Injury Report: The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) are out of action following last week's Wicked Garden match.

Backstage, KC Navarro is met by "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, who tells Navarro to do what he does. Navarro says he appreciates everything Nic has done for him, and appreciates that Nic did for Mike Santana. "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth shows up and says Nic should have cashed in, but Nic says he let everyone know that they will see who the better man is at Slammiversary. Santana says it is no secret that he trusts no one in the locker, yet he respects what Nic Nemeth did for him. He then says that he will win at Slammiversary, and that Nemeth will be shaking his hand. Navarro then asks The Nemeths and Santana to have his back. Nic is happy to do that, but Santana is led to the trainer's room by security, and a jealous Ryan says "I'm the baby brother, okay?"

The System (Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander) beat Leon Slater and Fabian Aichner. After the match, Fabian Aichner has to save Leon Slater from The System, and Bear Bronson gets in the ring. Aichner has Bronson up on his shoulders only to be attacked by Brian Myers. Suddenly, Moose shows up, and when he gets in the ring, everyone runs off.

We hear from Director of Authority Santino Marella. He says that while he and Indi Hartwell won, everyone can go on with their lives. He also hopes that Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace come back with a better attitude. Indi Hartwell shows up and says she wants a rematch with Elayna Black, saying that the disqualification does not sit well with her. Indi's rematch is granted.

The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) head to the ring. Vincent says he warned that in the Wicked Garden, the vines do not let go, then says history was made when The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hard) met "the lily of the valley." He says it is beautiful and delicate, but poisonous beneath, and that he put it in Jeff Hardy's mouth to prove that even legends decay. Vincent says that for thirty years, The Hardys have survived ladders, tables, cages and time itself. He then states that when The Hardys entered the Wicked Garden, they were classified as obsolete. Dutch says last week was historic, as the soil of the Wicked Garden was fed well, and watching Jeff Hardy convulse to the truth left tears in their eyes. Dutch says The Hardys became the past while The Righteous have become tomorrow. Vincent then states that since they have beaten The Hardys in the Wicked Garden, there is only one thing left to hardest: the TNA World Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up, and admits while that The Righteous give him the creeps, they are right, and it earned them a potential tag team title match. He says The Hardys have a rematch clause, and the titles will be defended in a three-way ladder match at Slammiversary. Vincent says that The Hardys are gone and that they are in control, but the lights go out and "Broken" Matt Hardy's laughter can be heard. When the lights come back on, a giant orange ladder is in the center of the ring. The Righteous are spooked. "Broken" Matt Hardy's theme then plays.

Before the next match, The Personal Concierge George Iceman demands respect for The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) from "the filthy degenerates" in the crowd.

Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero) soon surrounds the ring, but back off just as immediately. All of a sudden, Mustafa Ali gets in the ring with the International Championship as a weapon, and Nemeth clocks him with a superkick out of nowhere.

Tony Schiavone introduces Tommaso Ciampa to the ring to start tonight's show. Ciampa has Schiavone once again declare that he is better than Chris Jericho, and insists that Schiavone do it under the pain of breaking his back like he did Jericho when Schiavone protests. Jericho shows up when Schiavone is almost done with the declaration. Ciampa asks Jericho what he has to say for himself, and Jericho wants to know who he has to talk to so he can wrestle somebody with hair, then admits that this was uncalled for. After Jericho calls Ciampa "Tommy," much to Ciampa's irritation, this leads to a "Tommy's Mommy" joke. Jericho asks Ciampa why he actually hates him, mocking his list as well as how Ciampa's face looks. Ciampa asks if this is a joke, and Jericho says it is no joke that he left him laying. Jericho then says Ciampa hates him because he is not Chris Jericho, stating that Ciampa had a strong debut only for him to return and feel like none of it matteed, then tells Ciampa to pull the stick out of his ass before he shoves it up even further. This leads to a brawl that has to be broken up.

We hear from Mercedes Moné, who says that she is a global icon and the greatest to ever down, and that while everyone celebrated his downfall, she was watching. For six months, she says she watched the AEW women's division lose its power and fail to fill her shoes, then says she is back to prove who she is and take back what is hers.

Don Callis introduces "The Jet" Kevin Knight to the ring. Knight says everybody is upset with him when they should be upset at Darby Allin not getting the job done against MJF, and they should be upset at "Speedball" Mike Bailey for breaking up JetSpeed. He then says that the fans are not mad about he and Don Callis linking up and him being TNT Champion, and says that while "the bums in the back" love to wrestle for stars, Don Callis signed him up. He then calls out MJF. Instead of getting MJF, however, Knight gets Darby, who shows up from behind and smacks Knight with a skateboard before going on the attack. Darby says he hopes it was worth it for Knight, then flees through the crowd and out through the back door when the rest of the Don Callis Family shows up.

Mark Briscoe meets with Tony Khan at gorilla position before the next match.

Mark Briscoe beats PAC with the Jay Driller after getting the knees up for a top rope Shooting Star Press. After the match, Briscoe calls out MJF, saying he now has a direct path to a title shot and telling MJF to head to the ring so he can explain it to him. MJF does not show up until after the commercial break, but he is in the crowd, and he tells Briscoe he is the final word and the law here, and refuses to give Briscoe a World title shot. He says that a rising tide lifts all ship and that he is the rising tide of the company, and if Briscoe came near him, he would be nothing more than an anchor. MJF says that the fans should be cheering him for protecting the AEW World Championship from Briscoe, then says friends like The Conglomeration are "stupid" and "a liability," while he has money and "money talks." Briscoe is then attacked from behind by The Lethal Twist, who has been paid off by MJF. Briscoe fights back against The Lethal Twist, but the numbers game takes over. The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong, Tomohiro Ishii)shows up and makes the save for Briscoe, who then tells MJF that he spoke to Tony Khan and got a six-on-six tag main event match for Forbidden Door in a steel cage.

Backstage, we hear from a very raspy Jox Moxley. He cannot speak much before "The Problem" Marina Shafir tells Trish Adora that she can bring multiple weapons and it still will not be enough to take her down. Daniel Garcia likes the idea, and challenges Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor. "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, Trish Adora) to a five-on-five Street Fight on Collision. He hopes Shane Taylor picked his friends carefully, as they have followed him straight to Hell.

"The Jet" Kevin Knight volunteers on the condition that he gets another World title shot, and MJF agrees on the condition that if Knight loses, there will not be another rematch.

We see an Instagram video of Jaida Parker and Nattie going at it at the Performance Center while everyone nearby tries to break up the brawl.

The public speaking portion of the Mr. NXT Pageant takes place in the ring. Tristan Angels says being the inaugural Mr. NXT is a task fit most for one man, and brags about being Mr. England and representing the country in international pageantry as well as how he was born a humble sheepherder so he can relate to the fans, who he trashes. He also says that he is celebrating his 23rd birthday and has "Mister NXT" tattooed on his leg, and says that the judges should take a long walk off of a short cliff if they even consider voting for "a hillbilly." Shiloh Hill says that he found out that the hardest part of the pageant is figuring out how to represent himself, and says that things change so fast that he is a different person each week. He says that he has yet to find himself, but that is what NXT is all about, and as long as he is willing to roll with the punches, everything will be right, and he embodies that very well, which is why he should be Mr. NXT. Matt Mathews is impressed with Shiloh Hill's ability to be himself, then says that he is glad Tristan Angels got rid of his "ramen noodle" hair before saying he does nothing for him. He picks Shiloh. Kit Wilson calls Shiloh's "raccoon thing" toxic, but also says that while Tristan is also toxic, there is also something about him, and picks Tristan. Aaron Rourke says that while Shiloh Hill embraces who he is, Tristan Angels looks the part, and leaves the final vote up to the fans. The fan vote results are revealed, and Shiloh Hill becomes the first Mr. NXT. Tristan Angels attacks Shiloh Hill with his cane, then hits him with a lungblower. Tristan then grabs a metal folding chair and strikes Shiloh repeatedly with it before driving him head-first into it with his knee.

Backstage, General Manager Robert Stone congratulates Naraku on becoming #1 contender for the NXT Championship.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 8, 2026

Oba Femi heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says that while he and Paul Heyman do not agree on many things, they both agree that Heyman believes in spoilers, not predictions, as does he. Oba spoils that he will run thorugh every single man in the King of the Ring Tournament down to the last one at Night of Champions, and when he does, he will take his rightful place upon the throne as King of the Ring. He says that he will take the crown, because he needs a crown to be the ruler. Oba says that 2026 is the year of collecting trophies, with the biggest one being the head of Brock Lesnar, as they are both 1-1 and Lesnar is nowhere to be seen, and he gets even in the most underhanded way possible by cheating and attacking from behind. He says that Heyman may boast about what has been unleashed in "his big, bad beast," but all he has seen for the last three weeks is "a big, bad bitch." Oba says that Lesnar cannot stay away forever, and when he sees him, he will settle the score. Suddenly, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio shows up and tells Oba that he does not rule anybody, and that he has been worried about Lesnar when hes hould be worried about him. He asks "How long you been here, rookie? A cup of coffee?" as the fans boo Dominik and cheer for Oba, then brags about being a twenty-year veteran of the game and the king of the luchadores, and says that when he becomes King of the Ring, he will rule over Oba. Dominik tells Oba to make it easy for himself by being the knee and "respect[ing] the 'stache." JD McDonagh is suddenly behind Oba with a metal folding chair, and when McDonagh hits him in the back, it has no effect. Oba punches the chair into McDonagh's face, and when Dominik hits the 619, it does not do much either, as Oba soon catche Dominik out of the air and tosses him across the ring. McDonagh makes the save for Dominik before Oba can hit Dominik with the Fall from Grace, and Oba tells Dominik that he screwed up tonight and that even though Rey Mysterio is his father, next week, he will introduce Dominik to his daddy.

We are introduced to the French commentary team of Christophe Aguius and Nadir Mohammedi.

Rollins says he has a date somewhere down the line with Roman Reigns, who he used to call a brother, saying that Reigns cannot win on his own and cannot beat him when it matters most.

We see a video package for Rey Mysterio vs. Penta for the WWE Intercontinental Championship where both men praise each other. Penta says it is an honor to face Rey and that he will not waste tonight's opportunity, while Rey says it is an honor to face Penta after seeing him become the fastest-rising luchador in recent memory.

Backstage, Penta is met by Chad Gable, who gets to the point and apologizes for what he did for the last two years as El Grande Americano, and says that it all started because he lost to Penta in Penta's debut match. He says he did not take the loss like a man; he took it like a coward, and his actions showed that. Gable apologizes to Penta, who accepts the apology and says that while he loves lucha libre, he recognizes when somebody is in the wrong. He then tells Gable that if he wants to do right by lucha libre, then there is somebody that he needs to talk to.

Backstage, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins is met by Montez Ford, who wishes Rollins lucky tonight. Rollins thanks Montez for that and for last week, then The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) and Jacob Fatu show up. Jey tells Rollins to be careful of how he speaks about the family, then says that he is in the King of the Ring Tournament and that he is winning and taking the Undisputed WWE Championship from "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes. Rollins says he is talking about Roman Reigns, not the family, but he understands how the family does business and while he is not mad, he is just disappointed, saying that he thought The Usos were better than running business for Roman. Jey sics Jacob Fatu on Rollins, but Jacob states briefly at Rollins and walks away.

Backstage, Bayley meets with Lyra Valkyria and says that tonight is about Lyra getting back what is hers, and she tells Lyra to do whatever it takes.

Sol Ruca retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Lyra Valkyria.

Backstage, The Usos (Jimmy and "Main Event" Jey Uso) confront Jacob Fatu for not dealing with Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Jacob says that he acknowledges Roman Reigns, not The Usos, then tells them that they need to worry about LA Knight, as he keeps talking about the family and is probably doing it right now while the two of them are doing nothing.

LA Knight heads to the ring. After missing catching the microphone the first time, he has the timekeeper again, and the second time around, he catches it flawlessly as it arcs downwards. Knight says that he will be in the first round of the King of the Ring Tournament on Friday, and while he would say that he would win on Friday night, win the tournament and face Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship, he knows that Roman's empire is on the verge on crumbling and that he is trying to keep everyone in "the Bloodline vortex," and that somebody is going to interfere on Roman's behalf. He also says that he does not take orders from Roman Reigns and that he does not fall in life to a tribal chief, for in this neighborhood, he is the chief. Knight says that when he faces Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship, every member of Roman's family is going to ensure Roman stays champion after General Manager Adam Pearce puts his rubber stamp on the match. He says that there is a stark market difference in the way that Pearce spoke to him and the way Pearce spoke to Roman, then says Pearce has his favorites and he is not one of them while he and the fans chose himself, and that he does things his own way. Knight says he does not know how to stop or quit, and says he cannot stop being himself or being "the undeniable kevorka," and wishes everyone luck, including "Main Event" Jey Uso, who he wishes so much luck that he can win the tournament on his own without having anybody at ringside. Jey Uso heads to the ring and says that when the family calls for him, he makes the call. He tells LA Knight to stop taking about the family, then says he will show Knight who he is in the King of the Ring Tournament. Jey leaves the ring, and Knight says that he respects Jey's passion and protectiveness over his family, as that is how a good man should be, then wishes him luck on Friday before saying "Screw your family." Jimmy has to run out and hold Jey back before Jey gets back in the ring.

Backstage, Chad Gable meets Rey Mysterio as Rey talks to Dragon Lee. Dragon Lee says things are good between him and Gable, as Gable knows what the mask means and what lucha libre means. Rey says they have heard what Gable had to say to Penta and Rey Fenix, as he knows why Gable started it all and admits he wanted to knock his head off his shoulders. Rey then says that his match with El Grande Americano II was "true lucha libre" before accepting Gable's apology. Gable thanks both Rey and Dragon Lee, and Rey says that while he is not one to judge, he wants Gable to look back a little further, as there are things that he did and said that he regretted way before he put the mask on.

Penta retains the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio. After the match, both men are attacked by Rusev and "All Ego" Ethan Page, then Dragon Lee runs into the ring to make the save only to be tripped up and sent into the timekeeper's area by Ethan. Ethan then has Rusev try to rip Rey's mask off, which Rusev succeeds at doing. As Penta protects Rey, Chad Gable runs into the ring and takes down both Ethan and Rusev, and Rusev has to save Ethan from an ankle lock by pulling him out of the ring. Gable then takes Rey Mysterio's mask and hands it to Penta, who re-masks Rey.

We hear from Raquel Rodriguez, who says that a lot of smaller, undeserving women entered the Queen of the Ring Tournament and that she proved that truth by winning in the first round. She hopes to blast through everything in her way, including Iyo Sky. She says she has Iyo's number and that she was victorious in their last match, and next week will be no different when she drags Iyo Sky back down to earth and win Queen of the Ring before taking the WWE Women's Championship from Rhea Ripley. She says Iyo Sky should get a ticket to Minneapolis, Minnesota so that Rhea has a shoulder to cry on when The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) takes over everything.

We hear from Iyo Sky, who says that Asuka entrusted her with the women's division, and that there is nothing she takes more seriously than protecting the honor and responsibility bestowed on her by her senpai. She says that Raquel Rodriguez may be a force to be reckoned with, but she has no honor and no heart. She says that everything Raquel does protects Liv Morgan's ego, and that she will unburden her of that responibility when she ends her run in the Queen of the Ring Tournament and puts The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, Roxanne Perez, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) in her place on the way to becoming a world champion.

Backstage, Roxanne Perez talks with Liv Morgan, saying that she was thinking about herself last week when she should have been thinking of the rest of The Judgment Day (Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio), and wants either Liv or Raquel Rodriguez to win the Queen of the Ring Tournament, preferably against each other so that they cannot lose. Dominik and McDonagh shows up and admit their plan against Oba Femi did not work, but Liv says they need to do things differently before discussing a new plan with Dominik.

Je'Von Evans beats Ricky Saints, Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Talla Tonga to advance in the King of the Ring Tournament. During the match, Austin Theory shows up and pulls the referee out of the ring as he pins Ricky Saints following The Stomp, but he is soon attacked by Montez Ford and brawls with him throught he crowd. As this goes on, Bron Breakker gets in the ring and lays Rollins out with a Spear. Ricky Saints goes for a pinfall attempt on Rollins, but Je'Von Evans rushes into the ring and hits Saints with the OG Cutter to pin him and advance.
