Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for July 24, 2025

In memory of Hulk Hogan, 1953 - 2025.



Director of Authority Santino Marella heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He talks about how both world titles are in the hands of NXT wrestlers and that he will do everything he can to rectify the situation. He also considers TNA taking some of NXT's gold, too, and he plans to take the NXT North American Championship away from "All Ego" Ethan Page. Suddenly, Masha Slamovich shows up and heads to the ring. Masha says she is here to get what is hers, especially after she beat everyone put in front of her and put the Knockouts division on her back. She says that Jacy Jayne stole the title from her and she wants her contractual rematch next week. Santino gives Masha her rematch, then The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC) shows up and heads to the ring. Alisha and Masha fist bump as Masha heads to the back. Eddie says that The System are warriors who are willing to fight for what TNA stands for, and that they represented TNA as a whole when they sent DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) packing. Eddie also says he has been in TNA for a long time and has done everything in his power to make TNA better, and he will be damned if any outsiders take something that does not belong to them. Myers says that TNA is their home, and JDC says that if TNA is going to war, The System will be their shoulders, as they do not break under pressure because they are the pressure. Moose says that he has done almost everything in TNA and that it is now about building his legacy, and that wrestling Leon Slater reminded him of why he loves wrestling so much. He says it is all about getting back up after getting knocked down and that Slater has earned the right to be X Division Champion. Moose then focuses on Trick Williams and the TNA World Championship, and says that he and Eddie have been here for a decade and are true faces of TNA after seeing people come and go and carrying the TNA flag through thick and thin. Trick Williams and Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) show up, and Trick tells Moose to sit down before mocking him for calling him out. He says that TNA is his house and that Moose does not have enough firepower. After Trick says that it is now "Trick-N-A," Moose dares Trick Williams to come down to the ring and see how TNA does things. Suddenly, Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) shows up, and Mustafa Ali threatens to bury Trick if he mentions his name again. Mustafa then claims that Order 4 is the greatest faction in TNA, then demands the fans rise and give him a proper round of applause as he takes his rightful spot as the leader of the greatest faction of all time. This leads to a brawl between The System and Order 4, and security quickly rushes into the ring to restore order.



Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella meets with The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC), then Matt Cardona shows up and offers his help to The System again. Santino puts Cardona and Myers against The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) later tonight.

The Personal Concierge George Iceman makes fun of the fans in Kingston, Rhode Island for not making anything that will "echo for eternity," then introduces The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance).

The IInspiration's (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) mysterytag team partner is revealed to be Mara Sadé.

The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) and Mara Sadé beat The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) in a six-woman tag match.



As per the Bioflex Injury Report, Gia Miller is out with a head injury following Tessa Blanchard's attack at Slammiversary. Moose suffered a hip injury at Slammiversary, and is being monitored on a day-to-day basis. Meanwhile, KC Navarro has re-aggravated a previous knee injury and will be re-evaluated on a day-to-day basis.

Backstage, Gabby LaSpisa tries to get a word from Mike Santana, but Santana walks away. She then interviews Indi Hartwell, who addresses the attack on Gia Miller before stating that she can now focus on becoming Knockouts World Champion. Dani Luna shows up, as does Victoria Crawford, the latter of whom says she is a mentor. Indi wants none of these, and neither does Dani, who challenges Crawford to a match.

We hear from The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams). Eric Young says that he has been in TNA for 23 years and that outsiders are trying to take over. He says he must be the one to initiate the change and "cleanse" TNA.

Leon Slater heads to the ring. He says that Slammiversary was not just the biggest night of his life, but the biggest night in TNA's history, and he walked out as the youngest X Division Champion of all time. Slater states that he had to go through one of the best in Moose, but when the dust settled, Moose personally put the title around his waist in a show of respect. He also mentions "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' sudden appearance and calls what happened during it "history," then says that he plans to bring the X Division back to its roots and promises to make his reign a special one. Slater also gives special thanks to The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) not only for paving the way for him, but for so many others in the business, and asks them to come to the ring, which they do. Matt says there is a special energy in the building tonight and in TNA, and says that this energy is what keeps the Hardy train going full speed ahead. Jeff says that they will keep going until the wheels fall off before Steve Maclin suddenly shows up and heads to the ring. Maclin says that he is not happy with what happened at Slammiversary with outsiders showing up and winning their world titles, then calls Slater and The Hardys "real TNA champions." He says that the four of them have put their blood and sweat into TNA and that the fans believe in them, and it is up to them to hold the line and make a declaration, and warns anyone who steps up that TNA is their home and to be ready for a war. Matt Hardy agrees with Steve Maclin, stating that they refuse to lose. All four men then hold their respective championships up in the air.



Jake Something beats Mance Warner in a no-disqualification match.



Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) shows up, and Jacy Jayne speaks from the stage as she declares herself a double champion. She wants to know why everyone is so shocked that someone from a deep women's roster showed up and beat Masha Slamovich, and says that when people think of the Knockouts Championship, they think of TNA Hall of Famers. Jacy then says she will change the face of history, stating that people will think of her when they think of the title before promising that she will make her reign a good one. She says there are talented women in the back, but states they are all over the place. As she makes fun of everyone on the TNA Knockouts roster, she states that she will be holding the Knockouts World Championship for a very long time and that she always gets the last laugh.



The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) beat Matt Cardona and Brian Myers after a rather tall Secret Service member gets in the ring and choke bombs Cardona behind the referee's back as Alisha Edwards and Tasha Steelz go at it on the outside.

Before the next match, Frankie Kazarian tries to guest on commentary, but he is ejected following his actions at Slammiversary.

Mike Santana beats Joe Hendry with a jackknife pin.
