Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for June 12, 2025

In backstage footage from earlier today, Mike Santana is met by Director of Authority Santino Marella outside of the building. Santino tells Santana that he has been suspended for two weeks and that he does not want him to get fired, and gives Santana his word that he will get his match with AJ Francis before telling Santana not to blow it. Santana tells Santino that he respects him as a man, and tells him that he wants that match. After Santana leaves, Robert Stone tries to sneak into the building, but he gets caught and kicked out by security when Santino calls for them.

Director of Authority Santino Marella heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Santino talks about beating Robert Stone at Against All Odds and thanks the fans for their support, saying he could not have done it without him. He proclaims that Robert Stone is gone forever and that he is Director of Authority once again. Santino then announces that Slammiversary is coming up, and that Moose will be defending the X Division Championship against Leon Slater. He then announces that next week, the Champions' Challenge will take place with a ten-person champions vs. all-stars match, and that as for tonight, there will be an Knockouts 8-4-1 Match where the winning team will face each other for a shot at the Knockouts World Championship. Santino then announces that Trick Williams is not a TNA roster member and that the locker room is chomping at the bit to face him at Slammiversary. Santino then introduces The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) to the ring for the next match, which is The IInspiration's first in three years.

The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) beat Missa Kate and Brittnie Brooks.

Backstage, we hear from The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Matt says that there have been a few bumps in the road since losing the TNA World Tag Team Championships, but tonight, they will get back on the path to the titles when they step in the ring with Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) and beat them. Jeff says he could not have said it better himself.

It's time for The Fir$t Cla$$ Penthouse. Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) introduces themselves before plugging their new T-shirts at TNA Shop, then Francis decides to give away $100 to the kid who can do the best "Money, Money, Money" chant. They pick a kid named Pedro out of the crowd, then humiliate him by not giving him the money after he does the chant. AJ Francis then introduces Trick Williams before he and KC Navarro make fun of Joe Hendry, then AJ Francis asks Trick Williams how he feels about Fir$t Cla$$. Trick Williams approves of them, then says the only way the TNA World Championship would look better is if he and KC Navarro had tag team titles to go with hit. Franics mentions their match with The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) tonight and says that they will be first in line for the TNA World Tag Team Championships when they win. Fir$t Cla$$ then raise a toast to Trick, proclaiming that Trick is the greatest TNA World Champion of all time and that "the Trick-NA era" will last forever.

Backstage, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC) meet with Jason Hotch, and Moose tells Hotch that if he beats Slater up enough, he can get his own custom-made System ring. JDC mentions the strife going on in Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, Jason Hotch, John Skyler, Tasha Steelz) and admits he is impressed with him. Myers says The System has no leader, and Eddie offers Hotch a spot in The System. The rest of Order 4 show up, and Jason Hotch leaves with them. Alisha then notices Matt Cardona, and The System takes his presence as a threat. Eddie challenges Cardona to a tag team match with a partner of his choosing, and Cardona accepts. Myers briefly stares down Cardona as the rest of The System leave.

As per the Bioflex Injury Report, Heather by Elegance is cleared following a chipped tooth from the Countdown to Against All Odds. Tessa Blanchard is now medically cleared and will compete in tonight's 8-4-1 match. Jason Hotch is cleared following bruising from his match with Mustafa Ali at Against All Odds and is cleared to compete tonight.

Leon Slater beats Jason Hotch.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Tessa Blanchard. Tessa says it does not matter how many women she has to face, because she will be the winner and she will be the #1 contender to the Knockouts World Championship while everyone else is in the way. She then says that the women's division will realize that they do not need a leader; they need a reminder of who built it.

Indi Hartwell, Tasha Steelz, Killer Kelly, and Jody Threat beat Rosemary, Dani Luna, Tessa Blanchard and Xia Brookside in the eight-woman tag match portion of an 8-4-1 Match to compete in a four-way match to determine a #1 contender for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.

Killer Kelly beats Tasha Steelz, Indi Hartwell and Jody Threat in the four-way match portion of an 8-4-1 Match to become #1 contender for the TNA Knockouts World Championship after picking the bones when Indi hits Hurts, Don't It? on Tasha.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Masha Slamovich. Masha says that she and Killer Kelly were always met to be and that she knows Kelly better than she knows herself, and while Kelly has been doing "God knows what," she has been busy being TNA Knockouts World Champion, and when she meets Kelly in two weeks, she will put her back in her place: on her knees in front of her, being her bitch.

We hear from Steve Maclin, who addresses Mance Warner's recent comments. He says Warner gave him the fight that he said he would give him, and while he hit him the hardest he has been hit in a long time, he is still TNA International Champion. Next week, he will be in the teaming up in Champions' Challenge with people "he could not give two shits about" except Trick Williams. He says Trick does not know a thing about TNA because he is TNA and he is one of the few pillars TNA has left. Maclin warns Trick he will be keeping an eye on him to see if he plays fair, because if he does not and he crosses the line, he will not be afraid to drop him on his head for a KIA. He also warns any potential challengers who want to cross the line to remember who is holding that line.

Mance Warner and Steph de Lander. De Lander calls Against All Odds a robbery, as Warner had Steve Maclin beat and they were screwed. She says that they are the ones doing the screwing and that she will make sure this will never happen again, as this is their era. Warner then threatens a production assistant, and Steph de Lander, security and even Tommy Dreamer have to step in before things get worse. Warner then gets in a brawl with Dreamer and suplexes him on the stage before laying him out with a kick to the face. Warner and de Lander then make out before leaving.

Backstage, we hear from Sami Callihan, who says that TNA's 23rd anniversary is coming up. As he addresses Trick Williams, The Northern Armory shows up, and Eric Young says it hurts him after what he and Callihan have both done for this place along with countless others, and that someone who will do anything to fight for the heart and soul of TNA. Callihan - who takes offense to Judas Icarus and Travis Williams staring him down - agrees with Eric Young, stating that they are the heart and soul of the company, and while he does not always like his style, he respects him. They shake hands, then The Northern Armory pretend to leave before Eric Young smacks Callihan.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) by disqualification after Trick Williams shows up and attacks The Hardys. After the match, Elijah and Joe Hendry show up and make the save, then The System runs in, as does Leon Slater and The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz). Everyone starts brawling, and Elijah, Hendry, The Hardys, Leon Slater and The Rascalz are the only ones left in the ring before Leon Slater jumps over the ring post and takes everyone else out to end the show.
