Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for March 27, 2025

The personal concierge George Iceman is in the ring to start tonight's show. He talks about how Ash By Elegance and Heather By Elegance's championship celebration was ruined. The two beefcakes from last week are standing nearby with the custom-made cake as Ash and Heather are introduced. Arianna Grace guests on commentary for the next match.

Ash By Elegance and Heather By Elegance beat Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley after the personal concierge George Iceman shoves Paxley off the top rope as the referee is distracted. After the match, Ash by Elegance is about to blow the candle on the custom-made cake when Gigi and Paxley attack Ash and Heather before shoving Ash's face into the cake.



Backstage, Ash By Elegance is furious that her championship celebration is ruined, then goes on vacation and leaves it to Heather By Elegance and personal concierge George Iceman to carry on the Elegance legacy.

Chavo Guerrero Jr. and The Aztec Warriors (Laredo Kid and Octagon Jr.) beat Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) and Frankie Kazarian in a six-man tag match.



We hear from Rosemary, who says that an angel walks among us. They say Xia Brookside dances across the battlefield with joy and hope, but tells her that it is not Heaven's light, but a pillar of flame, she is flying towards. They say war is not won by fighting the enemy, but bending their will, tainting their ranks, and turning their soldiers to one's cause. They say that to snuff out a light, an angel must be dragged into the abyss, then tells Xia Brookside that she could accomplish more if she could just let go and stop playing the hero, as they will save her, not the light, if she embraces the shadows.

Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella moderates a war of words between Mance Warner and Sami Callihan. Both men are handcuffed, and there are security guard. Sami says that there is nothing civilized about Warner, and Warner says he did exactly what he said he would do. Sami says Warner did not even fight him like a man and had to cheat to win, but Warner says he is a redneck and that whatever he takes is his, and Steph de Lander says she and Warner are "the Digital Media Champions." Santino stops the ensuing argument and mentions that there are plans for the Digital Media title, and demands that both Sami and Warner promise not to destroy company property, but Sami refuses to make any promises that either he gets fired or Warner gets fired. Steph throws water into Sami's face after she says he needs to cool down, and that ends the war of words.

Masha Slamovich beats Jacy Jayne. After the match, Masha is attacked from out of nowhere by Tessa Blanchard, who has been barred from ringside for this match, then runs away along with Jacy Jayne when Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee rush towards the ring.



We see footage of Mike Santana in and around New York City as he looks back on his battle with Mustafa Ali at Sacrifice. He then sees a row of Mustafa Ali posters on a building wall and tears them all down.

Eric Young beats "Inevitable" Ace Austin after the interference and distraction by Judas Icarus and Travis Williams.



Joe Hendry heads to the ring. On the subject of what is next for him, Hendry promises to be a fighting champion against anyone from any company, then Elijah shows up. Elijah tells Hendry that he is not his next challenger, but like everyone here, he believes in Joe Hendry, and despite having heard the skepticism, he tells Hendry that he can trust him and that he has his back. Elijah then proposes an impromptu concert, then Elijah performs "You've Got a Friend in Me" before Frankie Kazarian interrupts what he calls "Hall and Oates nonsense" before proclaiming that real men play the bass. He then says that it is time for a concert from "The King of TNA" before playing "La Cucaracha" on his bass guitar, which causes the fans to boo him. As he is about to perform another number, Elijah tries to butt in, but Kazarian has none of it before calling the local women fat while simultaneously horribly off-key. Hendry asks the crowd for their opinion on the performance before giving Kazarian credit for being brave enough to perform in the ring, then tells him to head to the nearest open mic night and disappear from the ring. Kazarian tries to drive a wedge between Hendry and Elijah and demands the both of them to beat each other up so he can call his shot and take the TNA World Championship, but Hendry and Elijah hit him instead. Kazarian shoves Elijah into Hendry, but Hendry catches Elijah as Kazarian runs away, then Hendry and Elijah perform "Na Na Hey Hey (The Goodbye Song)" to play Kazarian out.



"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth beats Leon Slater after "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth grabs at Leon Slater from the outside. After the match, Nic and Ryan are about to stomp on Leon Slater before The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) show up, forcing them to retreat. Matt says he and Jeff are not medically cleared, but they will be by Rebellion, and challenges them to a tag team match while promising to send them home as battered and bruised as he and Jeff are.



Here are the must-see moments from tonight's show!
