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.

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.

It is then revealed that Director of Authority Santino Marella was recording the whole encounter, much to Daria's chagrin.

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.

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.

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.

He says that Moose has had a stellar career in TNA and has put it on his back and taken it to the next level. Kazarian says he wants to surround himself with people like Moose and says that he will miss Moose, then says Moose kept pushing it even after taking the loss in Chicago and is now paying for it.

Here are the top ten moments from tonight's show!

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for September 3, 2026

Matt Hardy heads to the ring to start tonight's show. The "A MATTer of Fact" Fact is "Matt Hardy always partakes in Tim Hortons while in Canada." Matt says that he and Jeff Hardy walked into Lockdown as TNA World Tag Team Champions, but did not walk out as champions, then says there are no excuses and The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth). Matt goes on to talk about how everyone calls them "the GOATs" and says that he and Jeff did not live up to expectations at Lockdown. He says that he and Jeff achieved their dream of being World Tag Team Champions multiple times over, and calls TNA's tag titles the most special ones they have held. He says that he and Jeff are 35 years into their pro wrestling journey and that they are planning to cash in their championship rematch clause and win those titles back, yet Jeff was taken out backstage and had to be put in an ambulance. Matt says that being by Jeff's side on the trip to the hospital and Jeff not remembering what happened caused him to believe that Jeff did not bounce back, and believes that The Nemeths are behind the backstage attack. Matt holds The Nemeths responsible for what happened to Jeff, then proclaims that The Hardys will not die. Suddenly, The Nemeths show up and head to the ring, and Nic mocks Matt's entire promo by insinuating that it is all hypocrisy and states that when The Nemeths win the tag team titles, they do it for the money, and it makes them happy. He also warns Matt not to put the blame on them for the attack on Jeff, and states that when they beat The Hardys, it was to prove that they are the best tag team in the world today. Nic also says that if he is taking Jeff out, he is not doing it for free; because of that, they had nothing to do with the backstage attack on Jeff. Matt tells Nic that he made a mistake coming out here, then fights The Nemeths until security gets in the ring to break up the brawl.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Trey Miguel. Trey says that he and Jason Hotch both want Mustafa Ali and the International Championship, and while he respects and trained Hotch, they both know what they are capable of, and tonight is about something better. He hopes that Mustafa is watching from his hospital bed, as he deserves everything that is coming to him after tonight.

Backstage, we hear from Elayna Black, who says that everything that happened at Lockdown may have affected her more than she thought, but she is not making excuses. All of a sudden, The Elegance Brand (The Personal Concierge George Iceman, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance, Mr. Elegance) show up and make fun of Elayna for being on the losing end again before The Personal Concierge state that they are celebrating tonight. M says that the difference between her and Elayna is that she does not disappoint everyone who came to see her when the pressure is on. Elayna tells M to be careful, as she might take the Knockouts Television Championship away from her. M says that Elayna will not face her, but Heather will. Elayna is happy to hear this and walks past The Elegance Brand, while Heather feels like she has been thrown under the bus as the rest of The Elegance Brand is in celebration mode.

Before the next match, Expressions states that Toronto, Ontario, Canada (which Brampton is a part of) has been the worst place he has visited in the whole of America and that the best part of the place is the airport that will take him back to "the greatest city in the world" London, England. He tells the fans not to boo him, as "Toronto sucks like a vacuum cleaner," before introducing AJ Francis.

AJ Francis quickly beats Brent Oakley. During the match, Oakley takes Expressions' hat and puts it on, but when he runs away from Expressions back into the ring, Francis hits him with the TFL for the win. After the match, AJ Francis reintroduces himself as "the best big man in the business" and "the greatest AJ to ever step foot in a TNA ring." He then says there is no better person for Avery Styles' first TNA match than him before calling Avery out so he can give him the ass-whupping that his father never did. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and states while he does not normally agree with "AJ Francini and his sidekick Expresso," he has to agree in this case, then has Avery Styles come out to the stage. Avery shows up, and Santino asks Avery if he wants to face AJ Francis in his debut match, to which Avery says "Hell yeah." All of a sudden, Frankie Kazarian shows up and says this is not happening, as Avery is not ready for this, then walks off with Avery.

Leon Slater guests on commentary for the next match. Before the next match, Joe Alonzo calls Toronto, Ontario, Canada "Montreal" and tells everyone to get on their feet and show some respect for the best professional wrestler this generation has ever seen. Alonzo says that tonight is a monumental night, as tonight is his official TNA iMPACT! debut, and says that Leon Slater is no longer X-Division Champion because he would rather put the title on the shelf than lose it to him. After telling Slater to sit back and watch him make an example out of "that Oompa Loompa" KC Navarro, he says that the fans "hate Joe Alonzo because they ain't Joe Alonzo" and says that if he weren't Joe Alonzo, "I'd hate me, too."

He says he is still in pain, but he is not going anywhere, and The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) will not put him down, for he is still standing. The System then show up, and Eddie says that they decide when things are finished and that they were finished after Lockdown. Myers says Ricky Sosa has guts, but it means nothing against "the gatekeepers of TNA." Elijah shows up and sides with Ricky Sosa after The System left him laying last week, and says that they have unfinished business. Eddie tells Elijah to take it up with Director of Authority Santino Marella, then The System leaves.

Dutch beats BDE. When the match begins, Vincent tells BDE that he and Dutch see something in BDE and that BDE is looking for his place, and that they know what BDE wants: his very first singles victory in TNA. Vincent says The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) can give it to him, and tells Dutch to lay down. Dutch lays down, and tells BDE to pin him. BDE hits Dutch with an elbow drop instead. Dutch eventually wins the match after countering the Clip Cutter with Death Walks.

Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero, Mila Moore) is in the ring to start tonight's show. Mustafa Ali asks the crowd to remain silent as he speaks, then says that Order 4 has a statement of emergency after Jason Hotch was crowned TNA International Champion live on AMC in front of the entire world and his family. Mustafa says that Hotch is not a good man and the man of his household, as he is the man of Hotch's house and that the life that Hotch's family has is all because of him. He says that Hotch had the audacity to stab him in the back after all he did for Hotch. This leads to a "You deserve it" chant before Mustafa says that he deserves and demands loyalty, then Mustafa says that he has gotten with Daria Rae and tells John Skyler to prove that he is still his most loyal attack dog when he wrestles Hotch not for the International Championship, but for loyalty. Skyler and Tasha are still in the ring as Mustafa, Mila Moore and Special Agent Zero leave, alienated by what is going on. Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Jason Hotch, who has seen Order 4 in the ring on a nearby screen. Hotch says he does not know if he can find the words, as Skyler is his best friend as well as family and they have been through Hell and back together. He says that Mustafa Ali thinks he makes the rules and talks too much, but tonight, he will not wrestle Skyler, as Skyler is his brother. Daria Rae shows up and says Hotch will wrestle Skyler or else he will be suspended or stripped of his title before telling Hotch to be professional.

We hear from Elayna Black and Xia Brookside in a remote conversation. Elayna says that Brookside was in serious need of humility last week, and as funny as it was, there will be no fun and games at Lockdown, and it will just be the two of them in the steel cage. Brookside says the only embarrassing thing is Elayna's call for attention since she arrived in TNA and has been barking up every tree she can find and talking nonsense like she is the greatest Knockouts in history. She says that Elayna is lying to herself before Elayna tells Brookside that her days are numbered and that her claims will be proven "100% true" as there is nothing she will not do to become Knockouts World Champion. Brookside says that if she did what Elayna did, she would be telling the truth, and that Wendy Choo found out the hard way when she showed up to her division uninvited and got sent packing. She says that everyone who thought they stood a chance were left laying, and that Elayna's embarrassment will continue when her friends and family watch her fail. Brookside ends the conversation, then Elayna says "I can't wait to shut this bitch up."

Backstage, The Elegance Brand (The Personal Concierge George Iceman, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance, Mr. Elegance) is not happy with the turn of tonight's events, but The Personal Concierge says it is not the end of the world as they will win the Knockouts Tag Team Championships and the Knockouts Television Championship to become "The Empire of Elegance."

Traci tells Hudson to remember who she is. Hudson thanks Traci for the advice, and says she cannot let anyone down and that she must beat Alisha.

Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero) heads to the ring for the State of the Order address. Mustafa Ali says that Order 4 should be covered in championship gold, yet he is the only one to get the message. He says he has given Skyler, Hotch and Tasha everything only to get problems. Mustafa says he is not mad; only disappointed in their failures and their comfort with failure. He says that he is a humble man who needs help and that Order 4 needs someone to get their heads out of their asses.

Mila Moore shows up in all black in heels, glasses and a secretary's outfit, and she shakes hands with Skyler and Hotch only to be spurned by Tasha. Mila Moore thanks Mustafa for believing in her and for the opportunity. She says it is an honor to work for a man like Mustafa, and says that Mustafa gave her the call, she knew that there was a lot of work to do.

Mustafa declares that the locker room will vote for who is most worthy of facing him for the International Championship, then welcomes Mila Moore to Order 4.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

He says that The Righteous cannot come back from crossing that line, calling it "blasphemy," not respect or admiration. Jeff agrees, and says The Righteous should face them like real men. The Righteous show up, but Matt Hardy does not want to hear it, and wants a match with The Righteous. Vincent says they would love to share the ring with them. Dutch says they are "Die-Hardys" speaking truth and elevation, for The Hardys are righteous, but they are many. Vincent says this is a misunderstanding and not their intention, but if they are to do this, he want to be a friendly competition, and afterwards, all they are looking for is "a little peace" with The Hardys. Matt Hardy says that they trespassed into their private lives and that they will never see peace, but Vincent tells Matt that he can trust him. He then says that "we are all here [in the wrestling business] because we are not all there." Matt Hardy wants the match.

Meanwhile, a man in a kung fu robe comes out from under the table and says "I must protect...The Elegance Brand."

Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) head to the ring for Mustafa Ali's State of the Union Address.

Jason Hotch says they will mention everything nice and slowly so "the morons of El Paso, Texas" can understand.Tasha Steelz introduces Mustafa Ali, who says that it means a lot to be called a "culero" before addressing Elijah, who he says will suffer consequences for his actions. Mustafa states that he has spoken to TNA management about getting rid of some distractions, and proposes that from now on, there will be no more concerts, guitars, cowboy boots or cowboys hats, and puts it up to a vote. To nobody's surprise, this proves unpopular with the fans, and Mustafa says he knows better than the fans do about what is good for them, as they will cheer for anything, including him being dragged out of the arena by a horse. Elijah suddenly shows up on a horse before heading to the ring with a guitar in his hands. Order 4 retreats, and they are forced to flee through the crowd. Elijah gets on his horse and gets his lasso, then chases Order 4 to the back.

He apologizes for his appearance and thanks the fans for their support, then oversees the contract signing between Mike Santana and Frankie Kazarian for their World Championship match next week. Santana is introduced first, followed by Kazarian. Santino says that this match will have implications. If Kazarian retains, Santana goes to the back of the line; if Santana wins, he will defend the World Championship at Genesis. Kazarian says that Santino may have to send opponents from NXT to face him, then says that nobody wanted Santana in TNA more than him and that Santana has always been honest with everyone. He then admits something that he has never publicly disclosed: he, too, is an addict and has an addiction, but his addiction is being the TNA World Championship, "The King of TNA," and a top guy, and he likes his addiction. Kazarian says he wants to dance with his demons, not fight them, and that is why he will walk into Genesis at TNA Champion. He signs the contract. Santana says they were both at the same place at the same in a place that sucked the passion out of them, and they both left that place and are now sitting across each other vying for the greatest prize in pro wrestling. He says that he has heard what Kazarian has said before, then talks about how he carried so much on his back since his return to TNA two years ago before declaring that he is taking the World Championship back for himself. He guarantees that he will walk out a two-time TNA World Champion, and if he cannot do it, then he does not have what it takes and he may not have a place in TNA. Santana signs the contract. All of a sudden, "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth shows up with the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy and calls himself the reason for TNA's debut on AMC next week. Nemeth says he does not like Kazarian or Santana, then says both men will beat the living hell out of each other while he waits in the wings to call his shot and walk out as World Champion. He tells both men to beat each other down and live for it, because afterwards, he will be World Champion. Santana signs the contract, as does Kazarian, then both men have a staredown to end the show.

M by Elegance says that since they have the tag team gold, they are the most dominant team in the ring, and that this will not change after Emergence. After Lei Ying Lee speaks in Chinese, Xia Brookside says she has been underestimated and that she and Lei Ying Lee will kick everyone's asses. Jazmyn Nyx says there is a pattern where TNA titles end up on NXT women's waists, and Fallon says NXT is the superior brand and that she and Jazmyn will walk out as Knockouts Tag Team Champions.

In a TNA digital exclusive, Gia Miller interviews Rosemary outside of the building. Rosemary says Indi Hartwell has walked into this realm like she owns it and acts like her road to the Knockouts World Championship is clear, yet they are blind to the dark forces that influence this place, and they have decided to make her even more blind. Rosemary says they are the dark mother and unholy matriarch of the Knockouts division, and demands they be also addressed as gatekeeper.

When Kazarian demands they speak, Maclin takes the microphone from his hand and tells Kazarian to shut up before stating that he and Jake are beyond talking and that they will find out if the International Championship is made for Jake and whether or not Jake is actually something at Emergence. Kazarian takes offense to Maclin taking the microphone from his hand before making fun of Jake Something's name.

Tasha Steelz says she is tired of all of them, stating that nobody is holding championship gold and that Mustafa Ali has went down a downward spiral, and while she made the call to Cedric Alexander to play all of them and have Cedric save her, Order 4 (Mustafa, Skyler, Hotch, Steelz) is what really needs saving. She says that her plan has given Mustafa a marquee match with Cedric. She also tells The Great Hands to worry about their jobs, as they had nothing but now have so many zeroes in their paychecks. After asking where they all were before Order 4, then states that they are going into Slammiversary as a unit.

Indi Hartwell beats Victoria Crawford despite the cheap shot by Tessa Blanchard. After the match, Tessa accusses Indi of ruining friendships and knowing nothing about loyalty, then syas Indi can copy the look and study the moves, but she has carried her dead weight for years, and if it were not for her, she would still be wrestling in Australia for a meat pie and a handshake.

We see Tom Hannifan's interview with Joe Hendry. Hendry says he has been watching TNA since 2002 and that it pains him that Trick Williams does not appreciate TNA's history, and while Trick cut corners, he takes responsibility for this happening as he lost the TNA World Championship in the first place. He says that Mike Santana will be the guy one day, but what he himself has done in TNA is unprecedented, as he took the World Championship to mainstream places and defending it on a regular basis. Hendry says Santana does not have the experience, and while he will one day be the guy, he is the one to lead TNA. Hendry says the fans made him champion, and now he needs them for his redemption, as none of this would have been possible without them, and he will do what needs to be done at Slammiversary.
