Backstage, The Personal Concierge George Iceman meets with Dani Luna and knows that she wants the Knockouts World Championship, yet there are people in front of her who Ash by Elegance will beat. He tells Dani that she has a match with Indi Hartwell and tells her to hurt her a little bit and make her suffer, and maybe an opportunity will show up a little bit sooner.

In footage from earlier today, Big Al and ODB's Meat and Great food truck was in front of the venue. ODB is then seen in the crowd.

Judas Icarus beats Eric Young with a jackknife pin after Eric Young somehow says Joe Hendry's name and causes Joe Hendry to show up, distracting Eric Young and allowing Judas Icarus the win. After the match, Eric Young punches out the referee, and other referees have to show up to check on the fallen referee.

It's time for Mentor U. Tonight's guest is Jody Threat. Victoria Crawford mentions that Jody Threat has a positive energy despite having no friends, but Jody Threat says she has people who have her back. Victoria then mentions the whole incident between Gia Miller and Tessa Blanchard, and this leads to Gia showing up as Jody Threat wants to leave. Gia says what Victoria said last week resonated with her, and that she has asked Director of Authority Santino Marella to lift Tessa's suspension. She also warns Victoria that if Tessa touches her again, she will "fuck her up." Victoria then takes the credit for getting Tessa unsuspended and leaves.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, Myron Reed) meet at the treehouse.

It's time for The King's Speech. Frankie Kazarian says that Minnesota will be known for a king instead of a prince tonight, then introduces tonight's guest: himself. He then announces that he will face Steve Maclin for the International Championship at Bound For Glory, then reminds Maclin that history remembers kings, not soldiers, and that he will be the new International Champion. He then announces that since he is a generous and magnanimous king, he has another guest, and he will let him announce himself. It is none other than Mr. Anderson, who has not been seen in TNA since 2016. Kazarian refuses to shake Anderson's hand before Anderson mentions that he has been in Minnesota for the last twenty years and that his wrestling school is in the state and that his kids are from there. Kazarian makes fun of Anderson, then mentions their history and how he beat him in one of the few one-on-one Ultimate X matches in TNA history, then mentions Anderson having been in the United States Army Reserve and brings up Steve Maclin. He says that Maclin is a coward, then asks Anderson if he has been a coward. Anderson mentions what Maclin has done in the Marines, then questions Kazarian's military history. Kazarian takes offense to this and says that Anderson is starting to piss him off. He then mentions that Anderson's mother, wife and children are here tonight, and they are all briefly seen on camera before Kazarian asks Anderson if they are willing to stand by as he beats him within an inch of his life. Kazarian asks Anderson if this is the kind of man and father he is as he repeatedly pokes him in the chest, and Anderson twists his right hand and presses him against the ropes. All of a sudden, Anderson is attacked from behind by Jake Something, but Steve Maclin makes the save. Maclin clotheslines Jake Something out of the ring, and Jake Something and Kazarian retreat.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for July 17, 2025

Moose beats Sami Callihan. After the match, Moose tells Leon Slater that at Slammiversary, he is stepping into the biggest match of his career, which is just another Sunday for him, and while Slater has a chance to be the youngest X Division Champion ever, it will not happen. Moose proclaims that he will beat Leon Slater, continue his dominance and become the longest-reigning X Division Champion of all time. He then notices Sami Callihan lying in the corner, and says he does not have it anymore. He says that Callihan used to be "The Death Machine," but now he is "a fat piece of garbage," and while Callihan has a great mind in the business, he should be in the back fixing catering instead of wrestling in the ring. Moose then calls Callihan "a fat turd" before telling him to remove his boots, leave them in the middle of the ring, and to get out and go to the back. Callihan unties one of his boots and leaves the ring, then Moose introduces the rest of The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC) for the next match.

The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC) vs. Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch) ends before it can begin when The System is attacked by DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) while Order 4 watches from the ramp.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Dani Luna. She says Tessa Blanchard is trying to take advantage of someone, but singles competition is her specialty. Dani says she knows who she is and what she brings to the table, and as she knows what it takes to be on top of the Knockouts division, Tessa is in her way.

Tessa Blanchard beats Dani Luna following the interference from Victoria Crawford. After the match, Tessa and Crawford attack Dani Luna until Indi Hartwell runs into the ring, after which they retreat. Indi reminds Tessa that she has turned her back on every friend she has ever had and that Tessa has not known her in six years, and that at Slammiversary, Tessa is going to get to know her.

We see footage from three weeks ago of The Elegance Brand (The Personal Concierge George Iceman, Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance) confronting The IInspiration (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee) at a fanfest, which causes a scene. We then hear from The IInspiration, who say that they have no insecurities, unlike The Elegance Brand, and that they deserve the spotlight that comes from becoming two-time Knockouts World Tag Team Champions.

The Elegance Brand (The Personal Concierge George Iceman, Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) heads to the ring. Ash says she was forced to make a public apology and fined $5,000 for the confrontation with The IInspiriation (Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee), blaming it on the fans and accusing them of removing the truth by editing the footage. She says that everyone should be talking about her, not Masha Slamovich or Jacy Jayne, as she beat 19 other women to become #1 contender for the TNA Knockouts Championship and not only worked to get there, but has the divine right to take the title. Ash calls herself the reason why The Elegance Brand is the most dominant brand in TNA history, then Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Jazmyn Nyx) shows up. Jacy says that she and Ash have known each other for a while now, and that they had no problem until Ash just started talking crazy. She states that when she becomes a double champion, she will be happy to remind Ash where she stands. All of a sudden, Masha shows up and heads to the ring, and The Elegance Brand leaves. All of a sudden, Masha shows up and heads to the ring, and she shoves Ash to the side as The Elegance Brand leaves. Masha talks about how she showed up in America from Russia and fought for her life while having no friends, but Jacy says Masha will realize why she has no friends if she looks in the mirror. Masha says Jacy looks for perfection in the mirror as that is her image of a champion while she sees the scars that made her into one, and that she will not let the Knockouts World Championship be taken by an outsider. She then considers the NXT Women's Championship easier to take than her own, as Jacy will have to stop her heart from beating in order to beat her. Both women then raise up their respective championships during a staredown.

As per the Bioflex Injury Report, Trey Miguel's hernia injury is being looked at on a day-to-day basis. Meanwhile, KC Navarro is now medically cleared following his left knee injury.

Before the next match, Matt Cardona addresses being attacked by DarkState, and dares DarkState to come at him after what they did to The System, for he is always ready. As soon as his match with Jake Painter starts, DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) shows up and almost decimates both men. All of a sudden, Brian Myers shows up solo, and he is overpowered by DarkState until Eddie Edwards and JDC show up and even the numbers game.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) head to the ring. Matt thanks the fans for allowing him and Jeff to live their dreams for 33 years and wrestle and win gold for four different decades, and says they have always wanted to be honest to themselves and make sure they were performing at their best. He says that they promised they would never be a shell of what they once were, and that since they lost the TNA World Tag Team Championships, they have also lost a few matches. Jeff mentions Matt losing to AJ Francis, then Matt mentions their promise. Jeff says that if they cannot become tag team champions at Slammiversary, then it should be time for "the Hardy Party" to end. Leon Slater shows up and heads to the ring, and says The Hardys have more than changed his life this year and took him from the undercard to challenging for the X Division Championship. He also says that The Hardys have changed all the fans' lives and that the last six months have been the best of his career, and he thanks The Hardys for that. Matt tells Slater not to worry about them and to focus on becoming the youngest X Division Champion in history, and Slater says that he needs The Hardys to focus, get out of their slump, and get back to being the team that the fans know and love. All of a sudden, Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) shows up, and AJ Francis says The Hardys had a better chance of beating them 25 years ago and that they are as much of a champion as Lamar Jackson. Matt asks Slater to leave the ring, as this is not their fight and he wants him to be health for Slammiversary. Slater leaves as Francis says that The Hardys aren't even the best brother tag team in TNA, which causes The Nemeths ("The Wanted Man" Nic and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) to show up. Nic says that as much as they love this "Hardy pity party," he and Ryan are the ones to put butts in seats as well as the best brother tag team, and Ryan says they will be champions forever. Ryan says that they have been in more ladder matches than everyone else in the ring, including The Hardys, even though he has never been in a ladder match. As The Nemeths and The Hardys brawl, The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz and Myron Reed) shows up. As Wentz has Francis in a sleeper, The Hardys go to town on The Nemeths and Fir$t Cla$$ with a ladder.

Joe Hendry and Mike Santana beat Trick Williams and Frankie Kazarian after Santana tags himself in to hit Kazarian with Spin the Block. After the match, Hendry, Trick and Santana have a staredown to end the show.
