Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for September 24, 2026

Leon Slater heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Slater says he is doing a lot better than he was last week when he had to share the ring with "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth, but by the end of it, he beat him. He then says that "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth laid him out with the World Championship afterwards, and now he wonders why Nic is a coward. Slater chalks it up to Nic seeing him getting stronger, bigger, smarter and faster as a threat and knowing that Slater can beat him, then says he is feeling ready to go right now and that he is not going to wait until Bound For Glory before calling out Nic Nemeth. Nic Nemeth shows up and says there is a difference between a kid with a bright future and being the World Champion, then mentions Ryan being in a qualifying match on the way to becoming X-Division Champion tonight. He then says that when that happens, he and Ryan will run TNA for "practically forever." Ryan is suddenly behind Slater as Nic tells Slater that he does not have what it takes, but Slater somehow knows that Ryan is behind before attacking him and Nic. Security tries to stop the brawl, but Nic and Slater fight through them and start fighting each other before officials and more security show up to hold them back as Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up. Santino announces that from this point forward, both Nic and Slater are forbidden to lay a hand on each other. If Nic gets physical, he will lose the World title; if Slater gets physical, he will lose his title shot; the match will be off either way.

Backstage, we hear from Matt Hardy, who says that the mysterious backstage attacker attacked him, and now he knows there could be two or more. He mentions their attack on his brother, but they did not finish the job, and now, Jeff Hardy is back. Jeff appears and says he is back and that he will not forget what happened what happened until he attacks the attackers. Matt says he has put out a message on social media, and in one hour, they will demand the attackers reveal themselves in the ring.

Backstage, Indi Hartwell meets with Daria Rae and says she is not scared of her, then wants to know who gave Daria authority, saying that Daria is a bully and a bad person. Daria advises Indi to walk away, but Indi says that Daria is scared of her and "a joke." Daria slaps Indi in the face, then Indi says "Gotcha." It is then revealed that Director of Authority Santino Marella was recording the whole encounter, much to Daria's chagrin.

"The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth beats KJ Orso in a Bound For Glory X-Division Championship qualifier after using the referee as a means to hit Orso with a cheap shot.

We hear from Rosemary, who is in a white straitjacket with the number 666 on it. On the other end of the table is Courtney Rush, who says "Why don't we start over from the beginning?"

Backstage, Mustafa Ali meets with Mila Moore and John Skyler. Mustafa Ali is not happy that he is in the main event defending the International Championship, saying that whoever thought of this was dumb. He then realizes that Mila Moore did it, then says that Mila Moore is "no brains, all bimbo." John Skyler tells Mustafa Ali not to take his anger out on Mila, saying that she kept Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero, Mila Moore) together and did a good job. When Skyler says that Mila is also a good person, Mustafa reminds Skyler of Mila rejecting him last week, then leaves. Mila thanks Skyler, but Skyler also walks away.

Xia Brookside shows up, saying that Daria Rae has made it clear Indi is not getting a title shot, but Santino says he is in charge and making it happen, much to Brookside's dissatisfaction.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) head to the ring. Matt Hardy says that mystery attackers have been attacking people backstage for weeks, including the both of them, then says that the fun is over and that it ends tonight. Matt demands that the attackers reveal themselves in the ring, and Jeff states that he has run out of patience and wants to know who is being all of the attacks. Static then appears on the video screen above the stage, and the lights start flicking before totally going out. Two men appear in the ring wearing hoods and attack The Hardys from behind.
