Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for June 26, 2025

Joe Hendry heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Hendry thanks the fans for giving him the greatest life that one could ever have, then addresses losing the TNA World Championship to Trick Williams and the road that he took just to get to TNA in the first place. Hendry says that the fans helped both him and TNA make history and that they did it together, then asks the fans to be there for his redemption like they were there for his ascension. He promises that he will bring the TNA World Championship back to TNA at Slammiversary.



We hear from Killer Kelly, who says that when you get close to someone, you get to know who they really are. She says that she and Masha Slamovich were very close as MK Ultra, and while she watched Masha become Knockouts Champion, she watched her forget who made her that monster. She plans to win the Knockouts World Championship, then tells the rest of the Knockouts division to fight hard in tonight's battle royal, for when she wins the championship, there is no way she will lose it.

Zachary Wentz beats "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Trick Williams. Trick Williams says that Joe Hendry still has heart and is still kicking, but he will kick that heart out of him at Slammiversary. He also says that AJ Francis will kick Mike Santana back to the block in tonight's main event.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Masha Slamovich. Masha says that she thrives under pressure and that the challengers keep piling up only to be knocked down. She says that she and Killer Kelly should not waste time and should face off for the Knockouts World Championship next week. Arianna Grace shows up and says she has a challenge for her, but she cannot mention it yet. Masha says "Bring it on."

Ash by Elegance wins a Knockouts Battle Royal to earn a future shot at the TNA Knockouts World Championship. At the beginning of the match, The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) and The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) are all eliminated, but Ash goes underneath the bottom rope while everyone else goes over the top. This is not mentioned until after the end of the match, when Ash by Elegance shows up as Tessa Blanchard and Indi Hartwell go at it on the apron only for Ash to show up and eliminate them both to win the match and the title shot. After the match, Masha Slamovich shows up, but so does Jacy Jayne.



Backstage, Jake Something says he is back, and he credits Tommy Dreamer for checking on him and being a good mentor. He says he could not let Mance Warner's cheap shot on Dreamer fly, and now he plans to send Warner to the hospital. He also says that he wants the International Championship, and he puts Steve Maclin on notice. Maclin shows up and welcomes Jake back before wishing him good luck with Warner.

As per the Bioflex Injury Report, Mike Santana is cleared for action tonight following a head injury. KC Navarro is still out with a dislocated knee. Elijah is still out with a torn triceps.

Mustafa Ali beats John Skyler in a Call To Arms Match. After the match, Mustafa Ali grabs a metal folding chair, and when Jason Hotch tells him to put it down, Mustafa throws him into the ring post. When Mustafa brings the chair into the ring, Tasha Steelz throws herself in front of Hotch and Skyler. Before Mustafa can hit Tasha with the chair, Cedric Alexander shows up and confronts Mustafa, who takes Tasha with him. Cedric grabs Tasha by her other hand and pulls her away. Tasha, Hotch and Skyler stand with Cedric, and Mustafa walks away.



Backstage, we hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC). As Moose says Slammiversary will be just another night for him, Matt Cardona shows up, and Eddie wants a fight with him. Myers is the last to leave after The System walk away.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat The Northern Armory (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams). During the match, Eric Young gets ejected for putting his hands on Matt Hardy, and it takes all the referees and all of security to get him removed from ringside. After the match, Jeff Hardy asks Leon Slater to come to the ring, and Matt Hardy says that Slater has put in the work day in and day out and has the opportunity to become a record-breaker and become the youngest X Division Champion in the history of TNA. He says that he and Jeff know that he can and will beat Moose for the title, then Slater says he is coming to Slammiversary to show up and show out, and that he will live forever or die trying. He also says that he is doing this for his mother, his sister the fans who have always been behind him, and The Hardys, then tells Moose to prepare for the hardest fight of his night. Slater then guests on commentary for the next match, which will see Moose in action.



Before the next match, Moose says he needs a warm-up, and has gotten a Triple Threat Match so he can show Leon Slater what he will do to him at Slammiversary.

Moose beats Jake Painter and Shane Sabre in a Triple Threat Match. After the match, Moose is about to attack Painter again when Leon Slater confronts him. Moose leaves.



Mike Santana beats AJ Francis in a Street Fight after KC Navarro gets a champagne bottle only for Santana to hit Francis with it and then hit Spin the Block for the win. After the match, Santana has worked to get to where he is today because of the fans, and at Slammiversary, he is not showing up to lose, because he is "the standard of TNA."
