During the match, Hook grabs "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne from behind the barricade, and both of them brawl their way backstage.

Mercedes says she is not afraid of Kris Statlander before Statlander suddenly watches her from behind, and when Mercedes notices her, she brawls with both Mercedes and Kamille, putting both of them through a wall in the process.



Tony Schiavone interviews Will Ospreay in the ring. Ospreay says he has a lot of questions that he needs answers for, then takes the microphone and allows Schiavone to leave the ring before calling out Kyle Fletcher. Fletcher shows up and says The Don Callis Family begged him not to show up by himself, but he is no coward, and he called Ospreay out for only for Ospreay to lick his wounds at home rather than show himself. He reminds Ospreay that the Family is never very far behind and warns him that he will be sent home for longer than three weeks if he puts a finger on him, then Ospreay says he did not come alone and tells him to pull the screwdriver out before getting in the ring. Fletcher replies, and Ospreay throws it out of the ring before talking about everything he did for Fletcher and how they both know each other so well, then says he wants answers and wants answers only from Fletcher. Fletcher says Don Callis did nothing but open his eyes to the truth, and says Ospreay helped him for his own benefit to keep him under his wing and make him into a clone with less success than Ospreay, and calls him "selfish" and "a hypocrite." He also says that Ospreay would have done the same thing in his situation, but Ospreay tells Fletcher to either be an Ospreay clone or not be one after doing the same things that he did to stand out. He also says that he has held championship gold everywhere he has went, then asks Fletcher what he has done before stating that Fletcher has done "sod all." Fletcher says he would rather talk about what he is going to do, which is surpass Ospreay and all of his accomplishments, and he plans to prove that intention at Full Gear in a one-on-one match. Ospreay says that Fletcher did all this for five minutes of fame, then accepts his challenge before stating that Fletcher has taken a piece of him and his own son away from them, and he plans to beat him at Full Gear. Fletcher tells Ospreay that he will take everything from him before "The Machine" Brian Cage and Lance Archer join him, then Powerhouse Hobbs and Mark Davis show up. This leads to a three-on-three brawl. Ospreay gets the boot on Fletcher in front of Mark Davis, and the brawl makes its way to the back before Lance Archer walks to the ramp to take on his opponent. He soon get shit with a shinai from behind by Roderick Strong, starting the next match, which is Falls Count Anywhere.

After the match, Roddy tells MJF, who has been watching from home, that this will all end at Full Gear and that he will finish him. He is then attacked from behind by "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita. Adam Cole shows up and starts brawling with Takeshita, then clotheslines him out of the ring. This starts the next match.



"The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita beats Adam Cole after knocking him out with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, making MJF's World Championship match at Full Gear against solely Roderick Strong, much to the pleasure of MJF, who is still watching from his home. After the match, Roderick Strong runs into the ring and attacks Takeshita only to get kicked in the groin, and Takeshita puts the Dynamite Diamond Ring back on only for Kyle O'Reilly to run in with a metal folding chair, forcing Takeshita to retreat.

Lashley says Swerve is dangerous, but he will make sure that he hurts Swerve.

Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta are seen attacking JD Drake on the ramp with a metal folding chair before they, Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir head to the ring. Moxley says he has been thinking about Orange Cassidy a lot these last few days and that Orange has played the game very well, then says Chuck Taylor is eating his food through a straw and that Wheeler Yuta belongs to him because Orange could not save them. He says that Orange has the shot of a lifetime at Full Gear and that everyone is depending on him, yet he is cool as a cucumber, and for that, he has to make an example out of Orange and brutalize him. Moxley says he will stomp his face into hamburger meat and mutilate him so badly his mother will not be able to recognize him. He then proclaims that everyone will see that and run and hide while The Death Riders (Moxley, Claudio, Wheeler, PAC, Shafir) do what they want because he commands the World Championship and they have the power. Orange Cassidy shows up, and Mark Briscoe and Rocky "Azucar" Romero soon join him before Orange tells Moxley that he agrees with and believes him because of what is in Shafir's briefcase, as it contains what represents what professional wrestling can be: the power. He says that Moxley may have the World Championship and that they can fight everywhere, but the only way to become World Champion is to wrestle, and for someone who hates to wrestling, he has not only done a lot of it, but he has beaten Moxley. Orange then says they will wrestle and that he will beat Moxley again, and he will take back the power. He then says there are a few pawns to get rid of in this chess game, starting with Wheeler Yuta, and next week, he will remove "the pawn that lets [him] take the king."Moxley says that if Orange wants Yuta next week, then he will see if Orange has the guts to pull the trigger, then warns him and anyone else who wants the World Championship to "abandon all hope." As The Death Riders leave through the crowd, they are attacked by Darby Allin, and Orange, Moxley, and Romero rush to even the numbers game before everyone brawls their way to the back. Moxley and Shafir are seen leaving in a black Dodge pick-up track, and Claudio - but not Wheeler - catches up with them, as does Darby Allin, who dives into the bed of the truck only for Claudio to grab him and swing him into a metal door. Wheeler then jumps into the truck, and Mark Briscoe and Rocky Romero show up too late to do anything.

Swerve says that everybody has the bright idea to come for him now that he is back, and use his name, equity and accolades to prove a point. He says that Lio Rush just tried out and failed, and that Shelton Benjamin also failed. Swerve then calls Bobby Lashley out for a fight, and Lashley arrives with MVP. MVP tells Swerve that if he wants to fight a member of The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin) , all he had to do is ask so he can set it up, then says that they wanted to recruit him due to his untapped potential. He then says that Swerve has yet to learn that there is strength in numbers before Swerve is suddenly attacked from behind by Shelton, which sets Swerve up for a beating from Lashley. Shelton and Lashley attack Swerve as MVP holds down Prince Nana from behind with his cane to force him to watch the beating that Swerve is getting.

Brody King tells her to come home on the other end, and Julia finds out that the line has been cut.

Nemeth says he is happy and overjoyed to have a world title in his hands, and while he respects what Alexander has done, he feels lucky to win the championship and says that he is a fighting champion. He also wants to know why everyone knows his name but nobody knows Alexander's, and also says Alexander could have walked up to him, looked him in the eye and demanded for a championship match. When asked what has gone wrong, Alexander says everything - fans, management, everything but him - has gone wrong, and says that nobody is champion until they beat him. He also says people like Nemeth show up and have the welcome mat rolled out for them and also calls this part of the problem, and says that tomorrow night, the TNA World Championship will be back on his waist and TNA will be better off for it.

Nemeth mentions Mustafa tapping out, which gets Mustafa angry enough to announce a new campaign and initiative where he makes the TNA World Championship great again.

The System leaves, then Frankie Kazarian shows up and demands Gia call him "The King of TNA," which she does.

Steve Maclin vs. Mike Santana ends with The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) attacking both men.



Backstage, Jody Threat is not happy about with her loss from last week. Lars Frederiksen says Jody had her chance and came up short, then tells Dani Luna that she has a match with Tasha Steelz and that Spitfire (Dani Luna and Jody Threat) must learn from their mistakes.

In a TNA digital exclusive, Mustafa Ali says he fears no one, and that leads to Leon Slater challenging Mustafa to a match. Champagne Singh accepts on behalf of Mustafa Ali, and after Slater leaves, Mustafa tells Singh that they need to talk about strategy.

Mustafa Ali beats Leon Slater.



Backstage, Moose hunts down "Broken" Matt Hardy.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry mentions Eddie Edwards calling him a joke and saying he does not have what it takes to beat The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose), but tonight, the only system he is worried about his digestive system, as he gets squeamish when he has to look at a middle-aged man sporting a fauxhawk in 2024. He then says that anyone with a case of "The Eddie Edwards" can settle their stomachs by stating that they believe in Joe Hendry.

Joe Hendry beats Eddie Edwards. "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth show up to stand in Hendry's corner at the beginning of the match.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for May 9, 2024

The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) show up to start tonight's show with a System Championship Celebration, which also includes cheerleaders from the Albany Firebirds of the Arena Football League. Brian Myers announces that as of Under Siege, every member of The System is a champion, then says that nobody should be surprised as they have been winning championships their entire careers. He says that The System runs on gold and is an absolute dynasty. Moose says he has played on a lot of great teams and that The System is "the greatest team of all time." He says they are not the 1996 Chicago Bulls, for they are far greater than them, and if no one believes them, they can ask "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and "Broken" Matt Hardy, as they ran them off like the 1992 Dream Team did to Croatia. Eddie says their reputations speak for themselves and that they walked in as champions, and after nearly a decade, Alisha realized her potential, picked her spot and became a world champion. He says that Alisha stands above everyone in the Knockouts Division and is the greatest TNA Knockout of all time, then Alisha thanks Eddie before saying she wants to put a little more flare on the celebration. She then presents a video package of The System that she made herself, but the video package is interrupted by Matt Hardy, who shows up with a metal folding chair. Hardy congratulates The System on winning the battle at Under Siege, but says the war is far from over and that nothing will deter him from procuring the World Championship. Hardy calls Under Siege "a lesson" after pledging to break The System, and that he now understands The System a little better and knows what he has to do to make them obsolete. He tells Moose that this is not over, and that this is merely the beginning before mentioning The System's accolades and asking to see Moose's Super Bowl ring (which does not exist). Alisha says nobody can understand what Matt Hardy is saying, but he calls her "a snow witch" and tells her not to get on Reby Sky's radar. Moose tells Matt Hardy that there is four of The System and only one of him, then Matt Hardy says he does not like their odds and hits eveyrone with the metal folding chair. Alisha tries to hit Matt Hardy with a shinai only for Matt to block it, but that allows Eddie, Myers and Moose to gang up on him and wrap a chair around his neck in the corner. All of a sudden, Ryan Nemeth shows up with a shinai and attacks The System before they can injure Matt Hardy like they did Nic Nemeth, and The System is forced to retreat. The cheerleaders then side with Matt Hardy and perform the "delete" hand signal.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey). Chris Bey says winning tonight's match, which puts the winning team's members for their match against each other for an X Division Championship, and that they have put their tag team title rematch aside so that Ace Austin can become X Division Champion. Austin says that he would be champion if someone had watched his back and that Mustafa Ali's secret service detail is the deal breaker, and that ABC will earn X Division gold.

Backstage, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) tells Director of Authority Santino Marella to do their jobs, and Santino says that he has something for them and just has one more piece of his plan before he can put it into action.

Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and Rich Swann) beat The Full-Blooded Italians (Ray Jaz and Zack Clayton).

Backstage, Jake Something meets with Director of Authority Santino Marella regarding Under Siege, as does The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz). Jake Something takes offense to the interruption, and Trey Miguel says that he was attacked backstage, with Zachary Wentz saying that this is why he lost that night. Santino makes a tag team match between the two parties, and Cody Deaner shows up to become Jake Something's tag team partner before giving Santino an idea for the tag team match.

It's time for The Sound Check. Alan Angels interviews Kon and Steph de Lander backstage. Steph de Lander has to make it clear that she and Kon are not dating, then Alan tries to hit on Steph. Both Kon and Steph get annoyed with him, and they leave after Kon takes out Alan's security.

Before the next match, Cody Deaner says he has just talked to Director of Authority Santino Marella, and since Albany, New York is so hot tonight, they can spice the match up a little bit. He gives the fans the choice between a standard tag team match or an "Albany Tornado Tag Match" with no count-outs. The fans pick the tornado tag match.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) beat Jake Something and Cody Deaner in an Albany Tornado Tag Match after Trey Miguel sprays Jake Something in the eyes with spray paint on the outside before he and Wentz double team Cody Deaner for the win. After the match, The Rascalz are attacked from behind and laid out by Steve Maclin. Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Steve Maclin. He says that The Rascalz walked out on him twice, so he took them out twice. When Frankie Kazarian says that this unfinished business was the reason he and Maclin lost their recent tag match, Kazarian and Maclin argue, and they end up going their separate ways.



We see Tom Hennifan's interview with Mike Santana. Santana says he could not have picked a better time to come home, and says that being in The Latin-American Xchange (Santana, Ortiz, Konnan) and winning four tag titles was like a shotgun blast going off and that Konnan's mentorship meant a lot. He says that LAX accomplished a lot of things after they were thrown into the ocean after cutting their teeth on the independents. Santana then talks about his five years away from TNA. He talks about how he lost his father just before the pandemic happened and that a lot of things had to change, and some unsolved problems came up and he had to deal with them. Santana also talks about going sober a year ago, saying he had to save his own life.

Gabby LaSpisa is in the ring. She talks about her podcast and admits that there is a TNA superstar that she knows little about, and has scored an interview with Ash By Elegance. George Iceman shows up to introduce Ash, and Gabby wants to know who George Iceman is. George slyly refuses to identify himself as he introduces Ash By Elegance. Ash By Elegance heads to the ring, and Gabby wants to know why Ash By Elegance by Ash By Elegance and what elegance means. Ash says Elegance is a lifestyle brand and is surprised that Gabby has never heard of the brand. Ash calls the interview "classless" after George Iceman says that Gabby is from New Jersey and threatens to leave, then Gabby brings up Ash's post-match attack on Havok at Under Siege. Gabby also brings up Ash's loss to Xia Brookside from two week ago, and George Iceman says it is all camera trickery. Ash says the referee stole her jewelry, but Gabby says she can get it back if she can beat Xia Brookside. Xia proposes a rematch next week for Ash's rings that she tried to use as knuckles, and Ash reluctantly shakes her hand and accepts.



We see Joe Hendry in a Heart Radio interview, where Hendry talks about his entrance theme hitting the UK pop chart as well as wrestling in TNA.

Director of Authority Santino Marella announces the Champions Challenge, where all eight TNA champions face a team of all-stars.

We hear from Sami Callihan with the initial edition of DMTV. He says he is here to fix the mistakes of the past, and says that the idiots and "false prophets" in the back do not have a clue.

Before the next match, Cody Deaner says that he has talked with Director of Authority Santino Marella and that he has allowed him to tack on a stipulation to spice things up. Hammerstone says he has been in Impact for a few months and that seeing Deaner pander to idiots to see what they want has been the worst part of the experience, and proposes an arm wrestling match. Deaner says he is in the mood for something a little crazier since they are in Las Vegas, and proposes a Sin City Street Fight. After Deaner asks the fans what they want to see, the match becomes a Sin City Street Fight. Deaner then hits Hammerstone with the microphone.

Hammerstone beats Cody Deaner in a Sin City Street Fight with the Torture Rock. After the match, Hammerstone refuses to relinquish the hold, and Jake Something rushes into the ring and dives at Hammerstone for the ground and pound. When Jake overpowers security, Hammerstone teases fighting him, but steps out of the ring.



In a digital exclusive, Director of Authority Santino Marella finds out that "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth has a neck injury and will not be able to compete at Under Siege. "Broken" Matt Hardy shows up and says he will take Nic Nemeth's place and help Speedball Mountain ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and Trent Seven) "delete" The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) at Under Siege. Director of Authority Santino Marella makes it official.

Backstage, we hear from "Broken" Matt Hardy and Speedball Mountain ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and Trent Seven). Trent Seven says that The System(Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) needs to be taken down and that they must add to the team. Mike Bailey says it is time to delete The System. Matt Hardy makes them honorary members of House Hardy for the match, naming them "Trent the Seventh" and "The Ball of Speed," respectively.

Backstage, Jonathan Gresham is met by Director of Authority Santino Marella, who hopes that Gresham's return to TNA will be a lot smoother than when he left as he welcomes him back. When they shake hands, Santino notices octopus ink on his hand. A masked version of Gresham then sits across from him as Santino washes the ink off of his hand.

First Class (AJ Francis and Rich Swann) are still in the luxury box, then says that while he does not trust Joe Hendry as far as he can throw him - which is pretty far - he still trusts him enough to hear his apology. Joe Hendry shows up and enters the ring, which is furnished with speakers, a chair, a rug, a microphone and a guitar. Hendry says his troubles with First Class began with a song and should fittingly end with a song, then looks back at the "Cheez-It Champion" song before playing it on guitar. He then gives an encore presentation of the chorus from "Banned From Diving" before performing the apology song, and says that things are going to be different, as he will take things a little higher after initially going low. The song is a cover of Creed's "Higher," where Joe Hendry makes fun of AJ Francis even more and asks for him to get fired while also making fun of him being released from WWE twice.



Gia Miller interviews The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) on the stage. Eddie says Under Siege is the night that Alisha will bring gold to The System, and says that as much as they do not want to admit it, TNA needs them.

Moose says that while Matt Hardy has been gone, he has become a TNA legend, and says it is ironic that Matt Hardy claims to delete people when The System cannot be deleted and says that Hardy and Speedball Mountain will be deleted. Alisha says that at the end of the day, you always trust The System.
