Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for September 18, 2025

TNA holds a moment of silence for the victims of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There will also be a shirt on TNA's online store with 100% of the proceeds going to the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota and that the manufacturers of the shirt will also be donating to the school.

Mustafa Ali beats Brian Myers with a La Magistral Cradle after dodging a top rope elbow drop drom Myers. After the match, The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, Alisha Edwards) and Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) go at it, causing security to show up and break up the brawl. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up with more members of security and announces that at Bound For Glory, both teams will face each other in Hardcore War.



Backstage, The Personal Concierge George Iceman meets with Dani Luna and knows that she wants the Knockouts World Championship, yet there are people in front of her who Ash by Elegance will beat. He tells Dani that she has a match with Indi Hartwell and tells her to hurt her a little bit and make her suffer, and maybe an opportunity will show up a little bit sooner.

In footage from earlier today, Big Al and ODB's Meat and Great food truck was in front of the venue. ODB is then seen in the crowd.

Judas Icarus beats Eric Young with a jackknife pin after Eric Young somehow says Joe Hendry's name and causes Joe Hendry to show up, distracting Eric Young and allowing Judas Icarus the win. After the match, Eric Young punches out the referee, and other referees have to show up to check on the fallen referee.



It's time for Mentor U. Tonight's guest is Jody Threat. Victoria Crawford mentions that Jody Threat has a positive energy despite having no friends, but Jody Threat says she has people who have her back. Victoria then mentions the whole incident between Gia Miller and Tessa Blanchard, and this leads to Gia showing up as Jody Threat wants to leave. Gia says what Victoria said last week resonated with her, and that she has asked Director of Authority Santino Marella to lift Tessa's suspension. She also warns Victoria that if Tessa touches her again, she will "fuck her up." Victoria then takes the credit for getting Tessa unsuspended and leaves.



The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Myron Reed) meet at the treehouse. Trey and Wentz argue over costing each other a shot at the TNA X Division Championship, then Myron Reed mentions his win and they all celebrate by getting high. As they talk about wrestling each other, Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and hangs out with them.

Before the next match, The Personal Concierge George Iceman calls out The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) and Masha Slamovich for ruining their celebration before introducing The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance).

The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) beat The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) and Masha Slamovich in a six-woman tag match after The Personal Concierge George Iceman slides a Knockouts World Tag Team Championship belt into the ring, allowing Ash to blind Cassie Lee with champagne from the outside. M by Elegance then uses the ropes for leverage to get the pin and the win.



As per the Bioflex Injury Report: Mike Santana is cleared following an upper back injury caused by a sneak attack by Trick Williams. Moose is now uncertain and in concussion protocol following the headbutt from Agent Zero earlier tonight. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) have been cleared for tonight's match.

It's time for The King's Speech. Frankie Kazarian says that Minnesota will be known for a king instead of a prince tonight, then introduces tonight's guest: himself. He then announces that he will face Steve Maclin for the International Championship at Bound For Glory, then reminds Maclin that history remembers kings, not soldiers, and that he will be the new International Champion. He then announces that since he is a generous and magnanimous king, he has another guest, and he will let him announce himself. It is none other than Mr. Anderson, who has not been seen in TNA since 2016. Kazarian refuses to shake Anderson's hand before Anderson mentions that he has been in Minnesota for the last twenty years and that his wrestling school is in the state and that his kids are from there. Kazarian makes fun of Anderson, then mentions their history and how he beat him in one of the few one-on-one Ultimate X matches in TNA history, then mentions Anderson having been in the United States Army Reserve and brings up Steve Maclin. He says that Maclin is a coward, then asks Anderson if he has been a coward. Anderson mentions what Maclin has done in the Marines, then questions Kazarian's military history. Kazarian takes offense to this and says that Anderson is starting to piss him off. He then mentions that Anderson's mother, wife and children are here tonight, and they are all briefly seen on camera before Kazarian asks Anderson if they are willing to stand by as he beats him within an inch of his life. Kazarian asks Anderson if this is the kind of man and father he is as he repeatedly pokes him in the chest, and Anderson twists his right hand and presses him against the ropes. All of a sudden, Anderson is attacked from behind by Jake Something, but Steve Maclin makes the save. Maclin clotheslines Jake Something out of the ring, and Jake Something and Kazarian retreat.



Indi Hartwell beats Dani Luna by disqualification after Dani hits her with a metal folding chair. After the match, Dani continues to strike Indi with the chair and presses it against her throat, and when security gets in the ring, Dani swings it around and forces them to back down before hitting Indi with the chair one more time.



Backstage, we hear from Lei Ying Lee and Xia Brookside. Brookside mentions their history and how fate has brought them together, and how Lei Ying is a dark storm while Xia is a calm spirit. They also have a new name: The Angel Warriors.

Before the next match, AJZ - the man who was supposed to be Mike Santana's opponent last week - shows up calling out Mike Santana for a match.

Mike Santana quickly beats AJZ. After the match, Santana calls out Trick Williams, admitting that Trick caught him slipping and that it will not happen again, then tells Trick Williams that at Bound For Glory, the TNA World Championship belongs to him. All of a sudden, Santana is attacked from behind by Ridge Holland, who lays Santana out.



Matt Cardona guests on commentary for the next match. TNA President Carlos Silva and Anthem board member Rich Ehrman are seen in the front row. When The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) head to the ring, Rich Ehrman picks a fight with Ryan while Carlos Silva holds him back.
