Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for June 25, 2026

The Broken Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero) head to the ring to start tonight's show. "Broken" Matt says that they have been reborn after stepping into the Wicked Garden, which he claims changed them, broke their bodies and smashed their souls. He says that the Wicked Garden was one of a kind and that they needed The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch), for it forced them to evolve and ascend. He says the Wicked Garden was pivotal in this change, and Brother Nero says he will never be the same. Brother Nero says they have been "rebroken by fate," and "Broken" Matt Hardy says that they will win back the TNA World Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, The Righteous show up. Vincent says that The Righteous walked The Broken Hardys through the Wicked Garden and showed every version of The Hardys, then says that there is more. He is also grateful that they are telling the truth. Dutch says the scars last forever and that The Hardys still stand because of them, but "Broken" Matt warns The Righteous that they have awakened something more insidious than they have ever realized. Bear Bronson and Brian Myers show up, and Myers calls everything The Righteous and The Hardys are calling "mumbo jumbo" and says the tag titles are the only thing that matters. Bronson says they do not care who their opponents are or what the fans want, and that all he sees are two guys blinded by their own ego who want to take food off their table before daring them to try."Broken" Matt Hardy says that he and Brother Nero will be tag team champions again, then he and Brother Nero knock the other two teams off the ring apron, starting a brawl. The Broken Hardys soon come out on top and pull a ladder out from underneath the ring, and Brother Nero climbs the ladder. The Righteous back off while Bronson and Myers run away.

Before the next match, The Personal Concierge calls Ash by Elegance return to singles competition after 304 days "one of the the most unbelievable returns," then demands that the fans not call her a mark. Indi Hartwell guests on commentary for the next match. As soon as the match begins, however, the fans call Ash a mark, and that causes Ash to lose her mind and force M by Elegance to take her place in the match. While Ash and The Personal Concierge are on their way to the back, Elayna Black shows up to watch from the top of the ramp.

Mara Sadé beats M by Elegance by disqualification after Elayna Black shoves Mara Sadé off the top rope. After the match, Indi Hartwell gets in the ring, and Heather by Elegance jumps on her. Elayna, Heather and M soon go on the attack, then Rosemary and Allie rush into the ring to make the save.

We hear from Eric Young, who says that he attacked Ricky Sosa because he only wanted to show him what was going on and that a viral moment means nothing to him. He says that Sosa has talent, but there is a price to pay to be in a position like his and that Sosa must be taught a lesson. He says he has nothing against Sosa, then says there are levels to this and that Sosa will figure this out at Slammiversary.

AJ Francis beats Manny Lemons. After the match, Elijah shows up on the video screen and says that AJ Francis will never be him and that he will take back everything taken from him and then some at Slammiversary before burning a cease and desist notice. AJ Francis is fuming.

Xia Brookside beats Harley Hudson. After the match, Brookside attacks Hudson again, then Lei Ying Lee heads to the ring and Brookside retreats.

As per the Bioflex Injury Report: Ash by Elegance is out following the mental health issues from earlier. It is then mentioned that the TNA medical staff was rushed into action during tonight's World title summit, and that a lot of competitors will be risking everything at Slammiversary.

In footage from earlier today, Gia Miller, TNA President Carlos Silva, "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and Mike Santana hold a World Championship summit. Carlos Silva asks that things remain professional so that fines are not levied. Nemeth says that Santana has done it all this year, then says that Santana's great year is about to come to an end. Santana says that Nemeth only sees one good year when he has been fighting his entire life, then says that the TNA World Championship is much bigger than the ring and pro wrestling, and that it is his life. He says that he has been fighting for a moment like this, then says that Nemeth has done it all as well before stating that the difference between them is that when TNA needed a true champion to put it on his back through the dark times, he was there. He mentions Nemeth stating that he was here from TNA only to go on world tours while he ended up being the guy Nemeth was supposed to be, and that he will continue to be the guy. Nemeth says he has always been here for TNA and that being an international superstar is different from having a good year, then says that Santana might just steal the show from him. Nemeth then mentions Santana's family as he says taht Santana will fail one more time. Santana then punches Nemeth out, and Ryan Nemeth attacks from behind. Santana grabs Ryan, and Nic Nemeth attacks Santana and slams him head-first into the front plate of the TNA World Championship before he and Ryan leave.

It is announced that Mike Santana has been taken to a local hospital and that his status for Slammiversary is up in the air.

Moose and JDC - who has not been seen since the show after Genesis - head to the ring. Moose says that there are no pinfalls and submissions and that it will only end when someone throws in the towel. He says that Eddie Edwards destroyed a family and stabbed him and JDC in the back, and says that like Eddie's wife, "payback is a bitch." Eddie and Alisha Edwards show up, and Eddie says that he did not destroy anything, then says that after all the time they spent together, it finally dawned on him that Moose and JDC were like a cancer growing within The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) and making it weak. He says that Moose and JDC kept The System from the next level of greatness and that they tore the cancer out so they could rebuild The System better than before, and at Slammiversary, he will end this once and for all. JDC says he has known Eddie for 25 years - longer than anyone else in the business - and that while he does not take what Eddie did personally, professional wrestling has made Eddie sick in the head and blinded by disease. He says that Eddie will lose everyone in his life, including his wife and daughter, and Alisha interrupts JDC for bringing her daughter up, telling him to bring his wife so she can slap her before saying The System is better without Moose and JDC. She says Moose walks around like a big shot, but deep down inside, he wants revenge on her because she played him like the fool he is and always will be. Alisha then dares Moose to Spear her and get that revenge, but Moose and JDC leave the ring. Alisha says he knew Moose would do that because he is nothing but a pathetic coward, and Moose slides back in the ring and nearly goes for the Spear until JDC stops him. Eddie says this all ends once and for all at Slammiversary, and Alisha says that it is ride and die and she would rather die than throw in the towel. Moose then says that Slammiversary will be a funeral.

We hear from Ricky Sosa, who says that Eric Young not only does not like him because he is different, but because he had a debut unlike anything he has ever seen. He then says he is in TNA to stay, whether he likes it or not, and that he will prove he belongs in TNA.

Frankie Kazarian, Cedric Alexander and Mr. Elegance beat Leon Slater, Fabian Aichner and KC Navarro in a six-man tag match after Kazarian scores a jackknife pin on Leon Slater after Slater hits Mr. Elegance with a top rope Swanton 450.

"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth heads to the ring. Nic Nemeth announces that "due to a disgusting incident backstage," Mike Santana will not only not make it to Slammiversary, but he will not come back to the wrestling business. He then demands he be crowned TNA World Champion. He tells TNA President Carlos Silva to put the TNA World Championship around his waist, then Ryan Nemeth is suddenly tossed out onto the stage by none other than Santana, who throws Ryan down the ramp. Carlos Silva, Daria Rae and Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up with security to prevent a brawl. Santana then punches a few security guards, but Nic Nemeth flees when Santana gets in the ring.
