Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for July 24, 2025

In memory of Hulk Hogan, 1953 - 2025.

Director of Authority Santino Marella heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He talks about how both world titles are in the hands of NXT wrestlers and that he will do everything he can to rectify the situation. He also considers TNA taking some of NXT's gold, too, and he plans to take the NXT North American Championship away from "All Ego" Ethan Page. Suddenly, Masha Slamovich shows up and heads to the ring. Masha says she is here to get what is hers, especially after she beat everyone put in front of her and put the Knockouts division on her back. She says that Jacy Jayne stole the title from her and she wants her contractual rematch next week. Santino gives Masha her rematch, then The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC) shows up and heads to the ring. Alisha and Masha fist bump as Masha heads to the back. Eddie says that The System are warriors who are willing to fight for what TNA stands for, and that they represented TNA as a whole when they sent DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) packing. Eddie also says he has been in TNA for a long time and has done everything in his power to make TNA better, and he will be damned if any outsiders take something that does not belong to them. Myers says that TNA is their home, and JDC says that if TNA is going to war, The System will be their shoulders, as they do not break under pressure because they are the pressure. Moose says that he has done almost everything in TNA and that it is now about building his legacy, and that wrestling Leon Slater reminded him of why he loves wrestling so much. He says it is all about getting back up after getting knocked down and that Slater has earned the right to be X Division Champion. Moose then focuses on Trick Williams and the TNA World Championship, and says that he and Eddie have been here for a decade and are true faces of TNA after seeing people come and go and carrying the TNA flag through thick and thin. Trick Williams and Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) show up, and Trick tells Moose to sit down before mocking him for calling him out. He says that TNA is his house and that Moose does not have enough firepower. After Trick says that it is now "Trick-N-A," Moose dares Trick Williams to come down to the ring and see how TNA does things. Suddenly, Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) shows up, and Mustafa Ali threatens to bury Trick if he mentions his name again. Mustafa then claims that Order 4 is the greatest faction in TNA, then demands the fans rise and give him a proper round of applause as he takes his rightful spot as the leader of the greatest faction of all time. This leads to a brawl between The System and Order 4, and security quickly rushes into the ring to restore order.

Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella meets with The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC), then Matt Cardona shows up and offers his help to The System again. Santino puts Cardona and Myers against The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) later tonight.

The Personal Concierge George Iceman makes fun of the fans in Kingston, Rhode Island for not making anything that will "echo for eternity," then introduces The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance).

The IInspiration's (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) mysterytag team partner is revealed to be Mara Sadé.

The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) and Mara Sadé beat The Elegance Brand (Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) in a six-woman tag match.

As per the Bioflex Injury Report, Gia Miller is out with a head injury following Tessa Blanchard's attack at Slammiversary. Moose suffered a hip injury at Slammiversary, and is being monitored on a day-to-day basis. Meanwhile, KC Navarro has re-aggravated a previous knee injury and will be re-evaluated on a day-to-day basis.

Backstage, Gabby LaSpisa tries to get a word from Mike Santana, but Santana walks away. She then interviews Indi Hartwell, who addresses the attack on Gia Miller before stating that she can now focus on becoming Knockouts World Champion. Dani Luna shows up, as does Victoria Crawford, the latter of whom says she is a mentor. Indi wants none of these, and neither does Dani, who challenges Crawford to a match.

We hear from The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams). Eric Young says that he has been in TNA for 23 years and that outsiders are trying to take over. He says he must be the one to initiate the change and "cleanse" TNA.

Leon Slater heads to the ring. He says that Slammiversary was not just the biggest night of his life, but the biggest night in TNA's history, and he walked out as the youngest X Division Champion of all time. Slater states that he had to go through one of the best in Moose, but when the dust settled, Moose personally put the title around his waist in a show of respect. He also mentions "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' sudden appearance and calls what happened during it "history," then says that he plans to bring the X Division back to its roots and promises to make his reign a special one. Slater also gives special thanks to The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) not only for paving the way for him, but for so many others in the business, and asks them to come to the ring, which they do. Matt says there is a special energy in the building tonight and in TNA, and says that this energy is what keeps the Hardy train going full speed ahead. Jeff says that they will keep going until the wheels fall off before Steve Maclin suddenly shows up and heads to the ring. Maclin says that he is not happy with what happened at Slammiversary with outsiders showing up and winning their world titles, then calls Slater and The Hardys "real TNA champions." He says that the four of them have put their blood and sweat into TNA and that the fans believe in them, and it is up to them to hold the line and make a declaration, and warns anyone who steps up that TNA is their home and to be ready for a war. Matt Hardy agrees with Steve Maclin, stating that they refuse to lose. All four men then hold their respective championships up in the air.

Jake Something beats Mance Warner in a no-disqualification match.

Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) shows up, and Jacy Jayne speaks from the stage as she declares herself a double champion. She wants to know why everyone is so shocked that someone from a deep women's roster showed up and beat Masha Slamovich, and says that when people think of the Knockouts Championship, they think of TNA Hall of Famers. Jacy then says she will change the face of history, stating that people will think of her when they think of the title before promising that she will make her reign a good one. She says there are talented women in the back, but states they are all over the place. As she makes fun of everyone on the TNA Knockouts roster, she states that she will be holding the Knockouts World Championship for a very long time and that she always gets the last laugh.

The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) beat Matt Cardona and Brian Myers after a rather tall Secret Service member gets in the ring and choke bombs Cardona behind the referee's back as Alisha Edwards and Tasha Steelz go at it on the outside.

Mike Santana beats Joe Hendry with a jackknife pin.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for April 3, 2025

Joe Hendry guests on commentary for the next match.

Frankie Kazarian beats Elijah to become #1 contender for the TNA World Championship after messing with Joe Hendry at the announce table and shoving him into Elijah before beating Elijah with a stack-up pinfall attempt back in the ring. After the match, Hendry goes after Kazarian and even goes through security to do so, and Elijah has to pull Hendry off of Kazarian.

Backstage, Joe Hendry finds out that his shoulder is injured, but he refuses to go to the hospital. He soon finds out that he does not have much of a choice.

Eddie Edwards is in the ring. He talks about how he came out last week (in a segment that is social media exclusive) and gave The System (Alisha Edwards, Moose, Brian Myers, JDC) an ultimatum: either be on board with his vision going forward or hand in their ring and be out of The System. The rest of The System comes out and heads to the ring, then says that he knows JDC is sick and tired of losing and wants to know if he is in or out of The System. JDC says he is in. Eddie then addresses Myers, mentioning their history and wanting the tag team titles back, then asks Myers if he is in or out. Myers says they must finish what they started, and says he is in. Eddie then addresses Alisha, saying he knows her better than anyone and knows he does not want to hang around losers, and asks if she is in or out. Alisha says she loves Eddie and she is in. Eddie then addresses Moose, saying he knows what greatness and wants to know if he wants to achieve it again, and asks if he is in or out. Before he can answer, Cody Deaner shows up and says he has waited for a member of The System to get fired. Eddie is bewildered by Deaner's sudden appearance, but Deaner says not everyone is on the same page and advises Moose that he does not have to make a choice and to let this be the people's choice. He says that the only thing more interesting than a public firing would be a public resignation, and asks the fans if Moose should be in or out. The fans make it clear they want Moose out. Deaner tells Moose to listen to the people, as the people have spoken, and Moose thinks on it before telling Cody Deaner that the people are absolutely right before booting him in the face. The System then give Deaner a stomping before everyone puts their fists together in the middle of the ring.

Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella makes Leon Slater the first competitor in the Ultimate X Challenge. It is then revealed that Matt Cardona is also in the match when he tells Moose to check TNA socials as he tells the rest of The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC) they have matches.

Arianna Grace guests on commentary for the next match.

Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) beat Spitfire (Jody Threat and Dani Luna).

Backstage, Mike Santana shows up with a friend named Derek, who is three months sober, and meets with Director of Authority and thanks him for giving Derek a job on the TNA crew. Santino then shows Derek around.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) make their way to the ring. Matt says that the only thing that is for certain is that everyone's true character eventually emerges and that we saw "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth's true colors, and that all their respect for him is out of the window. He says Nic and his brother "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth have hurt him physically, but it did not scar him. It was not until he returned home and saw the fear and sadness in his kids' eyes, it scarred them, and it hurt him more than anything physical. Matt mentions the scar on his nose from Nic deviating his septum and says it will represent how Nic hurt his children, his rage for Nic and how he is still broken, and that he will delete Nic. Jeff mentions Nic and Ryan being stand-up comedians and calls what they did to them "their GOAT joke," and that they are insane for thinking they will win the tag titles and be the better brother tag team. After Jeff says that Nic and Ryan made a mistake not finishing the job, Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) show up, and John Skyler says The Hardys may be legends, but they have a reality check for them and the fans. He says it is 2025, not 1999, but Matt says the only difference is that The Hardys are now the greatest of all time compared to when they were great. John Skyler says The Great Hands know about being great, and thanks to Mustafa Ali moving on to bigger and better things after beating Mike Santana, they have moved on to the tag titles. Jeff asks the crowd if they want to be a part of Team Extreme tonight, then Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and makes "The Great Hams vs. The Hard Boys" the next match, with The Great Hands getting a title shot if they win.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch). Backstage after the match, "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth is not impressed, then Leon Slater shows up and confronts Ryan. This leads to Ryan challenging Slater to a match before security breaks up the ensuing brawl.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Dr. Asa, who announces that Joe Hendry has a Grade III severe sprain on his rotary cuff, and that he hopes - and believes - Hendry can recover.

Steph de Lancer and Mance Warner show up on the stage. Steph calls her reign as TNA Digital Media Champion the greatest of all time and announces a party where she and Warner show what they get up to behind closed door. Mance says they are stars, champions, and even on the cover of magazines such as the non-existent "TNA Weekly," then Steph says they make history and that they rule TNA and will soon rule the whole world. Mance says there is nobody better than them before the two of them make out and Director of Authority Santino Marella interrupts. Santino says Steph and Mance cannot call themselves the TNA Digital Media Champions after getting the title from a divorce, then strips them of the title. He then announces that there will be a tournament at Unbreakable, with the winner becoming the TNA International Champion, which every match being a three-way match in honor of "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels for the TNA X Division Championship from Unbreakable 2005. When Santino asks for the Digital Media Championship, Steph refuses to hand it over, and Sami Callihan shows up to attack Mance and throw him off the stage into a table. Sami then hands the Digital Media title on Santino.

Backstage, Derek is met by Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch), and Tasha says Mustafa Ali would like a word before The Great Hands shove Derk into the trunk of a car. After the commercial break, Derek is forced to meet Mustafa Ali, who knows about Derek's sobriety and that he destroyed another family's life a year ago in an accident that he caused, and that while Derek walked away, the accident killed a little girl. He calls Derek a monster and an addict and that he has been and always will be a monster, then says he is unworthy of happiness before spitting in his face and having The Great Hands throw him out of the room. When Hotch asks why they did, Mustafa says "He's an addict. Addicts destroy themselves."

We hear from personal concierge George Iceman and Heather by Reckless, who says that Ash By Elegance is on vacation and that they will be back stronger than others. Iceman says he has his eyes on a new challenger: Maggie Lee, who has been winning matches but has a bad fashion sense. Heather says Maggie needs a new mentor like her, and the two of them plan to turn Maggie into "elegance."

El Hijo del Vikingo will be in the Ultimate X Challenge.

The Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx) and Tessa Blanchard beat Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside and Masha Slamovich after Fallon Henley distracts Masha Slamovich so that Tessa can hit Masha with the Buzzsaw DDT for the win. Rosemary is seen watching Xia Brookside from the crowd during the match.

Backstage, Mike Santana finds out that Mustafa Ali has gotten to Derek after members of security find Derek slumped in a chair.

Frankie Kazarian is in the ring. Kazarian announces Joe Hendry's shoulder injury from earlier tonight, then says that he is sorry that he did not end Hendry's career tonight, because he could have. He then says he could have ended Hendry's career and called his shot, but he is a man of honor and will not call his shot in St. Joseph, Missouri. Kazarian then says that he will call his shot on April 27th in "the great state of California" at Rebellion, and at the end of the night, he will finally be TNA World Champion. All of a sudden, "All Ego" Ethan Page shows up in TNA for the first time in four years and shows his appreciation for how Kazarian is doing business, then says he has beaten Joe Hendry at 100% and that he has pitched a match to Director of Authority Santino Marella. Kazarian calls Santino a stooge who has no , then Ethan announces that Hendry will be defending the TNA World Championship against him at Rebellion. Kazarian takes this as Ethan coming back to his company and taking his championship, but Ethan gives him the first shot if he wins. Kazarian tries to attak Ethan with the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy, but Ethan ducks and hits him with a boot to the face to end the show.

Here are the must-see moments from tonight's show!

The Teardrop Xplodes - Xplosion recap for February 28, 2025

We look back on Jeff Hardy vs. Jeff Jarrett in a steel cage match from Final Resolution 2011 (which is mislabeled as Jeff Hardy vs. Jeff Jarrett in a ladder match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from Victory Road 2004).

Gia Miller interviews McKenzie Mitchell for Around the Ring. McKenzie talks about her own jewelry brand and being a fourth-generation female jeweler as well as creating a fidget ring for autism awareness.

We look back on Oba Femi and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) vs. The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) from last night's show.

Before the next match, John Skyler says there is a difference in being good and being great, and says the fans would not know the difference because they are "terrible losers." He then says that with the proper leadership, he and Jason Hotch can make the people great again, then demands that their opponents be brought out so they can pummel them with - after Hotch corrects him - "these Great Hands." Their opponents are Laredo Kid and Cody Deaner, who tells Hotch and Skyler to shut their mouths and that it would be a great idea for them to punch the two of them right in the mouth, yet it is the people's choice whether or not they do it. Not surprisingly, the fans want Cody and Laredo Kid to punch them in the mouth, and Skyler and Hotch get punched in the mouth.

The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch; now known as "The Great Hands") beat Cody Deaner and Laredo Kid.
