Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for January 9, 2025

Eric Young, Jonathan Gresham and Steve Maclin beat The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC) in a six-man tag match. After the match, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers go on the attack with metal folding chairs before they both powerbomb Jonathan Gresham. After this, The System wrap a metal folding chair around Gresham's head before whipping him into the ring post. The System retreats after Maclin goes after them.

We see a video package about Joe Hendry.

Before the next match, Xia Brookside shows up and says she had Savannah Evans beat until Savannah injured her, and while she is not medically cleared, someone else that Savannah injured is ready to get revenge: Lei Ying Lee.

Lei Ying Lee beats Savannah Evans after escaping the full nelson bomb to hit Thunderstruck.

Backstage, Jordynne Grace yanks the microphone from Gia Miller and tells Tessa Blanchard that if she wants to fight, then she can meet her in the ring.

The TNA+ Moment of the Week is Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett in a no-disqualification match from Genesis 2009.

We see a video package of Masha Slamovich being troubled by voices, one of whom sounds like Rosemary.

Mike Santana vs. The Northern Armory ("The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) in a gauntlet match ends in a no-contest after the eliminated Icarus and Williams attack Santana alongside Alexander. Alexander tells Santana "You'll never be the guy!" as The Northern Armory stands tall.

The personal concierge George Iceman announces that next week, he will do something big that the people will want to see: a pre-launch championship celebration for Ash By Elegance and Heather By Elegance, who he announces will be the next Knockouts Tag Team Champions.

Backstage, Rosemary says Masha Slamovich is so tough, fierce and predictable, and carries the Knockouts Championship like a sort of armor. They then say that they can see the cracks forming and that she is losing what she has worked hard to gain. We then realize that they have been talking to Raven, who wants to know if Rosemary is ready to win championship gold again. Rosemary takes a knife to Raven, but Raven proposes she have a Raven's Rules match to satiate her bloodthirst. Rosemary likes the idea.

Before the next match, John Skyler says it is ironic that the fans boo him and Jason Hotch, but they cheer The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz), and claims that their treehouse is better than the fans' trailer parks. He says the fans do not cheer for their sports team because they could not even win a scrimmage, then says he and Hotch will give the fans a treat when they win with "these good hands."

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch).

Backstage, Rhino is met by Frankie Kazarian, who says that if Rhino hits the Gore on "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, he will be ready to cash in.

Backstage, Steve Maclin says The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC) not only crossed a line, but tried to end Jonathan Gresham's career. He says that if they want to send a message, then that message has been received. Eric Young says that they are renegades and that they will issue their own brand of justice. Suddenly, Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) interrupts, and AJ Francis asks why Young and Maclin are pretending to be tough guys before stating he and Navarro are interested in tag team gold and that they will have no problem stepping over them.

Alisha Edwards and Moose head to the ring. Moose declares himself the greatest X Division Champion of all time, and says that Ace Austin will find out first hand why you should always trust The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC) when he beats the living hell out of him at Genesis. Moose then tells Alisha to toss the X Division Championship out of the ring while calling it ugly, because at Genesis, he will debut a new X Division Championship "fit for the face of the franchise. Alisha does just that. Moose goes on to say that he was embarrassed to carry the "ugly" belt for the last few weeks. All of a sudden, Andrew Everett shows up and confronts Moose for having the belt thrown down, saying Moose does not belong in the X Division. He says that for the three years in TNA, the X Division and its championship gave him purpose, and that he fought every night for a chance at the title and never got it. After Everett says that TNA was built by the X Division, Moose threatens to put Everett down if he does not leave the ring. Everett says getting Moose to remember anything is a losing battle, then says he is an X Division wrestler while Moose is not. Moose boots Everett in the face, then says Everett just earned a title match and demands a referee.

Moose retains the TNA X Division Championship against Andrew Everett.

Backstage, Sami Callihan meets with Director of Authority Santino Marella, wanting to face the winners of the TNA Tag Team Championship match at Genesis alongside PCO. Marella makes a non-title match against The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) for Callihan and PCO next week, and if they win, they will be in the tag title match at Genesis.

Jordynne Grace heads to the ring and calls out Tessa Blanchard, and says that she will stand in the ring and give Blanchard the opportunity to fight her. She says that if Tessa believes that the Knockouts Division is hers, she will have to fight through her. Blanchard slides into the ring from the crowd and fights Jordynne, starting a brawl. Security shows up to stop the brawl.

Frankie Kazarian guests on commentary for the next match.

Joe Hendry and Rhino beat "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth.
