Final Resolution 2025 - The Results



Cedric Alexander beats Eric Young with a brainbuster in the countdown.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Leon Slater. Slater says he feels disrespected not just because of last night's attack, but because of "all the bollocks" AJ Francis has been saying about him, talking about him like he is the dirt on the bottom of his show just like he has with BDE, KC Navarro and Rich Swann. He prays that Rich Swann sees the light, then says that the disrespect that AJ Francis has been laying down comes with a price and that it will come in Great British pounds. BDE shows up and wishes Slater good luck tonight, and says that Slater has shown him respect since day one while AJ Francis has kept disrespecting him. BDE then tells Slater that in case AJ Francis tries anything funny, he has Slater's back. BDE leaves, and Slater says he will not let the disrespect continue, as AJ Francis will get what is coming his way.

The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, Alisha Edwards) head to the ring. Brian Myers announces that JDC will be in the main event for the TNA World Championship against Frankie Kazarian tonight, but that win or lose, JDC will be retiring next month at Genesis. Eddie Edwards states that scouting season begins right now, and if there are three people in the back who think that they can fill JDC's shoes as part of an open challenge to a six-man tag match tonight, then they need to step in the ring and prove it. Moose tells any and all potential prospects that they have a huge task in front of them, as they not only have to prove to them, but to the fans that they always trust The System. The open challenge is answered by The Andersons (C.W. and Brock Anderson) and Bear Bronson.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian says he is a giving man and a giving champion, and he is giving JDC an opportunity to go out on top as the TNA World Championship. He then says that JDC will not take that opportunity because he is a miserable failure like all the fans in El Paso, Texas. He then says that after he retains his crown, he will head over to Rosa's Tavern, kick everyone out and celebrate still being World Champion with the only person who matters: himself.

Ash by Elegance guests on commentary for the next match.

The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) retain the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships against Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford after Robert Stone's introduction of one of the titles into the match as a weapon backfires and The IInspiration fend off The Elegance Brand (Heather by Elegance and M by Elegance). After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva personally hands the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships to The IInspiration.

As per the Bioflex Injury Report: Mike Santana has a torn UCL and his status is undetermined.

Matt Cardona is cleared to compete against Mance Warner tonight despite having a contusion from two weeks ago after being hit with a purse loaded with a brick.

Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella and Arianna Grace discuss the goings on in TNA regarding the NXT invaders as well as Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo.

Matt Cardona beats Mance Warner in a Street Fight with a Radio Silence through a wooden door.

Backstage, JDC looks back on the last twenty-six years of his life in the bathroom as well as the promise of retirement he made to his wife and asks himself how he will fit in in the outside world. He calls John Cena an inspiration for getting into the business and says that if John Cena can win a championship on his way out, then so can he, and if he can beat Frankie Kazarian for the TNA World Championship, he can stay a little bit longer. He then says there is only one man he wants to face - his brother, Eddie Edwards - as he has a respect, love and grit for the business that no one can teach, yet he has to walk away from it. JDC then looks forward to becoming TNA World Champion tonight again.

Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo beats Steve Maclin to become the TNA International Champion! During the match, Maclin goes for KIA, but Stacks nearly sends him into the corner and into referee Daniel Spencer before grabbing Lexis King's cane and whacking Maclin with it to win the match and the title. After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva personally places the TNA International Championship around Stacks' waist.



Backstage, The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) are not happy with Steve Maclin losing the TNA International Championship to Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo when Gia Miller interviews them. Matt Hardy says they have wrestled for 33 years across 4 decades and that they will have eyes in the back of their head. Jeff Hardy says that "those NXT punks" could be anywhere.

Lexis King says that "the NXT outlaws" will get the job done by any means necessary and will raid, pillage and plunder TNA for all the gold. Stacks says that TNA doubted them and that they went from sitting in the back dreaming about opportunities to taking them, then proclaims that he is done taking scraps and is wining and dining internationally now. Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe state that they are rising brick by brick and taking it to The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) tonight.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed) beat Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Special Agent Zero) in an eight-man tag match. During the match, Mustafa Ali flees through the crowd, but as The Rascalz fight Special Agent Zero, Elijah shows up on a horse and ties Mustafa up by his feet before dragging him off on a horse.

Backstage, we hear from Eric Young, who calls TNA's premiere on AMC the dawn of a new era, and talks about how he has been around with each rise and fall and has understood TNA better than anyone. He says that TNA could be taken away and ruined, and snatched from victory. Eric Young says that he is the one to save TNA, as he is the only one who can see the truth and cleanse and eliminate the disease from the world. Eric Young says he will fix TNA with or without the fans, as violence is the only real answer.

Leon Slater retains the TNA X Division Championship against AJ Francis. During the match, AJ Francis has Rich Swann distract the ref so that he can hit Slater with a metal folding chair, but BDE shows up and stops him from doing that only to be hit with a Down Payment for his efforts. Afterwards, Francis grabs a GoPro from someone in the crowd and nearly takes out Slater, but Slater overpowers him and leaps over the ring post to take out Francis with the GoPro in his hand. Later, Rich Swann distracts the referee with a metal folding chair only to slip the X Divison Championship into the match as a weapon, but when Francis hits Slater witht the title, Slater still kicks out. Rich Swann then grabs the X Division Championship again, and after Francis nearly chews Swann out in the corner and yells at the referee, Swann is about to hit Slater when Francis tells him to, but Swann hits Francis with the center plate of the title instead. Slater goes up top and hits the Swanton 450 to win and retain. After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva personally awards the TNA X Division Championship to Leon Slater.



"The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth shows up and announces that his big brother "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth can walk into tonight's TNA World Championship match and call his shot any time he wants. He says that Nic is a generational athlete and the greatest wrestler of all time, then says he got superkicked by "that tramp" Mara Sadé, and if Mara wanted his attention so badly, all she had to do was ask. Ryan then says that Mara's superkick is weak and sloppy and that he is not afraid of her, as he is a big, strong man and Mara kicks like a girl. As this goes on, Mara Sadé is behind Ryan, and when Ryan turns around, Mara slaps him before hitting him with another superkick.

Before the next match, Frankie Kazarian comes out on a seafoam green low rider on the way to the ring.

Frankie Kazarian retains the TNA World Championship against JDC. During the match, JDC inadvertently squashes referee Daniel Spencer in the corner after whipping Kazarian into the corner, then inadvertently hits Spencer with a running strike. JDC hits the Air Raid Crash, but the referee is down, and referee Alice Lane has to run into the ring to make the count and officiate the match. JDC goes to the top rope, but Kazarian dodges Down 'n Dirty and hits the springboard leg drop for a near-fall. As referee Alice Lane checks on referee Daniel Spencer, Kazarian tries to strikeJDC with the TNA World Championship, but JDC ducks and rolls Kazarian up. Kazarian kicks out and puts JDC in the crossface chickenwing in the middle of the ring, where JDC passes out after Kazarian keeps him away from the ropes. After the match, TNA President Carlo Silva personally hands the TNA World Championship to Kazarian. After the match, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) show up to check on JDC, but the NXT outsiders Lexis King, Channing "Stcks" Lorenzo, Brooks Jensen, Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe) suddenly show up and attack The System, then pour gasolina on the TNA logo. When Lexis King is about to light the TNA logo on the center of the mat on fire, Steve Maclin, Mike Santana and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hard) rush in to fight the outsiders. TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella, as well as security, soon shows up in droves to restore order, and Stacks knocks Santino out. This causes the brawl to continue as the show fades to black.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey and Trent Seven beat The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz).

Alex Shelley says that Alexander may be the longest-reigning World Champion, but right now, he and Sabin are the best and that Alexander and Sabre had best not miss.

Before the next match, Jason Hotch says he hates being the bearer of bad news before annoucing he does not have a match tonight any more because his opponent suffered a very gruesome injury.

Magnus shows up with a message that will get everyone's attention: he knows Hardy was filmed having drinks with Dixie Carter, and says Hardy owes everyone an explanation. Hardy shows up and is shocked Magnus would question his intentions. Magnus tells him he remembers October 10, 2010, when Hardy sold out to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Hardy says he's not selling out. We'll see.

Kurt Angle tells Christy Hemme he plans to prove he still has it against Bobby Roode.

Bobby Roode hits Kurt Angle with a low blow and uses the ropes to beat Kurt Angle in a 2-1 victory in a two-out-of-three falls match.

Eric Young and his "experiments" to prove Joseph Park is Abyss continue!

Eric Young brings out Joseph Park. Park finds out that Eric put him in a match against Bad Influence (Christopher Daniels and Kazarian) next week...and it's a Monster's Ball match! Eric Young shows him some "visual aids" to try to get him to believe that he is Abyss: a steel chair, a bag of thumbtacks, barbed wire...and "Janice," the 4x4 with nails stuck on it! Park, initally reluctant to partake in the match, agrees upon seeing Janice.


It's Feast or Fired time! Zema Ion gets an X Division title shot, while Gunner gets a World Heavyweight title shot to James Storm's chagrin. Sting shows up before the other two briefcases are open, and tells Ethan Carter III he'll take his fate if he lets him fight him just once, but Ethan takes the briefcase over him. The gamble pays off: Ethan Carter III gets a tag team title shot while Chavo Guerrero gets the pink slip. Sting tells Guerrero that it's not the end...it's a new beginning.
