Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for August 14, 2025

It is revealed that Moose has been laid out backstage, and Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers and JDC are so angry that they tell Director of Authority Santino Marella that they are having their match with Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and Rich Swann) and Trick Williams right now. The three of them head to the ring and head to the ring to call out Fir$t Cla$$ and Trick Williams so they can finish things once and for all.

Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and Rich Swann) and Trick Williams beats The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC) with a schoolkid pin from Rich Swann to Brian Myers.

Dani Luna and Indi Hartwell beat Myla Grace and Harley Hudson. After the match, Indi Hartwell is suddenly attacked by Rosemary on the way to the back, as Rosemary spits green mist into Indi's face.

Matt Cardona beats John Skyler when Tasha Steelz' referee distraction backfires and Cardona is able to hit Radio Silence. After the match, Jason Hotch attacks Matt Cardona from behind, and Skyler joins in. Mustafa Ali shows up and watches before sending in Agent Zero, who choke bombs Cardona.

Backstage, Matt Cardona confronts Tasha Steelz as he wants Mustafa Ali at Emergence. Tasha says Mustafa is busy, yet Mustafa will be all too happy to face him at the event.

Director of Authority Santino Marella is in the ring for the Emergence Knockouts tag team summit, and he invites The Elegance Brand (Heather by Elegance and M by Elegance), the team of Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee, The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) and Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx) to the ring. M by Elegance says that since they have the tag team gold, they are the most dominant team in the ring, and that this will not change after Emergence. After Lei Ying Lee speaks in Chinese, Xia Brookside says she has been underestimated and that she and Lei Ying Lee will kick everyone's asses. Jazmyn Nyx says there is a pattern where TNA titles end up on NXT women's waists, and Fallon says NXT is the superior brand and that she and Jazmyn will walk out as Knockouts Tag Team Champions. Cassie says Fatal Influence has been hit in the head one too many times and that they have returned to become tag team champions again. All four teams get in each others' faces, and Santino tells all four teams that they have five seconds to get their aggression out of their systems. All four teams brawl, and Santino calls for security to quickly move in, but it is not long before all of security gets laid out.

In a TNA digital exclusive, Gia Miller interviews Rosemary outside of the building. Rosemary says Indi Hartwell has walked into this realm like she owns it and acts like her road to the Knockouts World Championship is clear, yet they are blind to the dark forces that influence this place, and they have decided to make her even more blind. Rosemary says they are the dark mother and unholy matriarch of the Knockouts division, and demands they be also addressed as gatekeeper. They say that Indi wants the Knockouts World Championship, but Indi's path now goes through them.

As per the Bioflex Injury Report: Moose is cleared following a hip injury from tonight's backstage assault. Indi Hartwell is recieving treatment following being blinded by Rosemary, and is being checked on day-by-day for eye irritation. The Home Town Man is cleared following bruised ribs and will be facing "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth at Emergence.

Mike Santana beats Eric Young. Judas Icarus and Travis Williams attack Santana from behind immediately after the match, but Sami Callihan rushes in and fights them both before confronting Eric Young. Eric Young steps out of the ring as soon as Callihan steps in.

It's time for The King's Speech. Tonight's guests are Steve Maclin and Jake Something. Jake Something is introduced first, followed by Maclin, and Kazarian has to stand between them before they get physical. When Kazarian asks both men for their thoughts on their match, both men refuse to speak and continue to stare each other down. When Kazarian demands they speak, Maclin takes the microphone from his hand and tells Kazarian to shut up before stating that he and Jake are beyond talking and that they will find out if the International Championship is made for Jake and whether or not Jake is actually something at Emergence. Kazarian takes offense to Maclin taking the microphone from his hand before making fun of Jake Something's name. Jake grabs Kazarian by the neck, but Kazarian gets away, especially when Maclin goes for KIA on Kazarian. Maclin then tries to brawl with Jake only to get hit with Into the Void.

Cedric Alexander and The Rascalz (Myron Reed and Zachary Wentz) beat Leon Slater and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy).
