He also talks about how he has been over 1,000 days clean and sober since last week, then mentions that the TNA World Championship was snatched from him a day later. He says that life will humble one quickly when they think things are going good, and he admits that things went dark and that he was scared of himself. Santana says he wanted to react with rage and anger, but he could not. Santana says he went to a safe place and went to a meeting, and that the meeting helped him realize a lot of things, especially that the fans deserve for him to be in TNA after the fans have paid their hard-earned money for an experience. He says the TNA fans rode with him when other people did not, and he thanks them for that. Santana says he had it all in his hands, but it was taken from him, and it only made him want it that much more. Santana warns Frankie Kazarian that he has something that belongs to him and warns him not to get too comfortable, because the TNA World Championship is coming back to him. He then has a message for the wrestler from NXT who attacked at Turning Point, stating that he knows they are watching and that he will pick them all off one by one until there is nothing left. Santana says he will make them regret stepping foot in TNA, and that they will all know that he gave them fair warning.

Backstage, Santino Marella tells someone on the phone that he will handle the investigation tonight. Frankie Kazarian shows up, saying that he had nothing to do with the NXT invasion and demands an apology. JDC shows up and mocks Kazarian for looking like "a Bon Jovi reject," but Kazarian asks JDC when he was last relevant and mentions his wife. JDC tells Kazarian not to mention his wife again, and challenges Kazarian to a World title match.

During the match, it is revealed that Special Agent Zero has taken out the rest of The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Desmond Xavier).

We hear from AJ Francis and Rich Swann. Francis says Swann let him down at Turning Point by losing the match and shaking Leon Slater's hand. Swann says that he has respect for Slater and that Slater is the future, but Francis says he only knows about sportsmanship and that he, not Slater, is not the future. Slater shows up and says that he and Swann tore it up at Turning Point, and while he respects Swann, he is not sure about Francis. This leads to Francis threatening to beat respect into Slater, and Slater is down for a match with him.

Kelani says she understands where Indi is coming from, then says she is not here to bash TNA and that she is here for women's wrestling. She says she saw an opportunity as well as their history during her career before stating she is not the same person she was when her career began. Kelani says she is putting their friendship aside, as she has known holding, winning and losing championships as well as having a target on her back, and she plans to walk out as champion.

He knows he must defend his title against an outside in Je'Von Evans, then says that Je'Von thinks he can just waltz into TNA and take the X Division Championship, which is not just a championship, but what Slater calls proof that he is good enough and can fit in.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for July 25, 2024

"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Nic thanks the fans as he proclaims that he is the new TNA World Champion. He admits that Slammiversary was a hell of a night and could have gone anyone's way, but Moose is no longer World Champion. He says that he has promised to be a fighting champion compared to a laid-back, protected champion like Moose, as that is what a champion does. Nic also promises that he will make the World Championship as special as it is to him and defend it against anyone, at any company, any night, and make it the biggest championship in the business until it is pried from his cold, dead hands. Suddenly, Campaign Singh shows up with Secret Service agents and introduces Mustafa Ali, who calls Nic Nemeth winning the World Championship much deserved before shaking his hand. Mustafa then says that what happened to him is more important, saying that he lost the X Division Championship in "the biggest screwjob in history" while the fans cheered despite everything he did for the X Division. Nemeth rubs Mustafa's loss in his face, but Mustafa says that "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Earl Hebner and the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada "screwed him real hard," which leads to a "You deserve it" chant. 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. Nemeth warns Mustafa to take a step back before he drops him on his ass, then says that he is a fighting champion and is willing to have the match tonight, but Mustafa says he will see him next week.
