Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for November 21, 2024

Backstage, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) and KUSHIDA are hyped up for their match with The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and "Inevitable" Ace Austin at Turning Point. Zachary Wentz says they will be watching The Hardys' and Ace Austin's match tonight.

Mike Santana heads to the ring. Santana says he has always been told that he is not good enough, will never make it out of the streets, and would end up a statistic, but he proved his doubters wrong. He then promises that he will sit at the top of the throne and become TNA World Champion. Suddenly, Frankie Kazarian shows up and says the only throne Santana will be sitting on is "a dirty toilet somewhere in The Bronx" and that if anyone will sit on the throne, it is him. He congratulates Santana on beating Moose, but it is not as impressive to him as winning the Call Your Shot Trophy. Santana says Kazarian and the trophy smell like "straight up douchebag" and that Kazarian has a shortcut while everyone else has had to scratch and claw their way to the top spot, then puts "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth on notice, saying there is a real contender in line, unlike "this scrub" Frankie Kazarian, and says he will have no problem cracking Kazarian over the head with his trophy. Kazarian says he would love to send Santana back to the streets that he came from right now, but he has prior obligations and will be facing Rhino tonight before stating he will keeping an eye on the World title match at Turning Point. Santana then says that he does not have a match for Turning Point yet, and Kazarian says he is taking that night off. Santana says he will make a match between the two of them official for Turning Point so he can whup his all over the building. This leads to a "Whup that ass!" chant from the fans before Santana wishes Kazarian luck against Rhino, tells Kazarian there is no more running, and throws his microphone into the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy before Rhino heads to the ring to face Kazarian.

Frankie Kazarian beats Rhino after putting his feet on the bottom rope for leverage. After the match, Rhino hits Kazarian with a Gore.



Steve Maclin is drinking at a bar and speaking with the woman tending bar. Maclin leaves and leaves a tip before Eric Young shows up, and by the time Eric is at the bar, Maclin is in a hotel room. Maclin watches the news and is reminded of his past, and he sits on the bed briefly. As he takes a shower, he is reminded of his past again, and he looks at photos of his time in the military. Maclin then writes a letter before speeding a sleepless night on the bed. Images from his past pop up again, and he is suddenly in a recruiter's office. The recruiter places his badge on the desk before it is revealed that Eric is the recruiter. Another Eric Young sits to the right of Maclin, and the first Eric asks Maclin where he is before Maclin says "Sort of," and notices the second Eric is gone. The setting changes as Maclin says he is here because of loss, and when asked what he has lost, Maclin says "time." Eric says torture is time and that time is all we have, and Maclin also says that Eric reminds him of someone. Eric Young then wants to know if Maclin can really trust him, then tells Maclin to wake up. Maclin is back in the hotel room, where he is awoken by a knock on the door. Eric Young is at the other end when Maclin opens it.



Leon Slater and Laredo Kid beat The System (Moose and JDC) with a La Magistral Cradle from Slater to JDC. After the match, JDC attacks Leon Slater, as does Moose. Moose powerbombs Slater in the middle of the ring before JDC hits Down 'n Dirty. Suddenly, Laredo Kid hits JDC with a chair from behind, then hits Moose with it.



Joe Hendry heads to the ring. Hendry says Thanksgiving is around the corner and that there is a lot for him to be thankful for this year, due to the unprecedented journey and accomplishments that he and the fans have been on and the fans believing in him. Hendry then says that he cannot let it go, and that the goal is to become TNA World Champion. He says that at Turning Point, he will be in a Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl match, and while he should be standing as World Champion, he could be standing in a turkey costume. He says the World title is the richest title in the game and is worth the humiliation, and that he will get one step closer to becoming World Champion. Hendry says that when you have a dream, you go all the way and chase it in order to achieve it, as anything is possible when you believe.

Backstage, we hear from "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, who is focused on Eddie Edwards at Turning Point. He knows he will be facing all of The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC) in that match, but he is a fighting champion who will do what it takes to retain. He tells Eddie to enjoy his Thanksgiving dinner, as all he cares about is power that he will not be able to take away from him when he does what he does best: steal the show and stay World Champion.

Savannah evans beats Brittany Jade.

Backstage, Masha Slamovich is met by Jordynne Grace, who is not surprised that Masha would beat Alisha Edwards. Masha says she loves to take every opportunity to prove who the better woman is, and says they should leave no doubt with a two-out-of-three falls match at Turning Point. Jordynne loves the idea.

Trent Seven, Hammerstone and Jake Something beat The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and "Inevitable" Ace Austin in a six-man tag match after Trent Seven hits Ace Austin with a low blow. After the match, Hammerstone and Jake Something go on the attack, but KUSHIDA and The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) rush into the ring, causing them and Trent Seven to retreat.
