Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for June 18, 2026

Xia Brookside heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Brookside says the fans act like she did something wrong and committed an unforgivable crime for turning on Lei Ying Lee. She says that The Angel Warriors should have been about her becoming a star, but every single week, it was about Lei Ying Lee. She says she should have done this a long time ago, then says her favorite part in all of this is the look on Lei Ying Lee's face when her whole world was shattered. She says Lei Ying Lee did not see it coming because she is "a dumbass," and at Slammiversary, she will become Knockouts World Champion. Lei Ying Lee shows up and says she treated Brookside like a sister, but now she sees who she really is: a snake and a rat. She says something in Mandarin, then translates herself, saying she will not wait until Slammiversary and do it right now. Brookside tries to run away, but Lei Ying Lee gets her hands on her, and security has to show up and break up the ensuing brawl. Lei Ying Lee soon starts beating up security guards just to get to Brookside, who grabs her by the hair to continue the brawl. Lei Ying Lee soon comes out on top in the brawl. (One of the security guards is played by West Coast independent wrestler Mathias.)



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Mike Santana. Santana says there is a reason he does not trust people and that he should have trusted his gut with "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, as he would soon show his true colors. Despite Daria Rae making his life a living hell and making it so that he and Nemeth cannot go at it during their match, he knows how to be a pro, and at Slammiversary, he will spin the block on Nemeth and rip the heart out of his chest. KC Navarro shows up and says taht while he understands what is going on, tonight is not about Nic Nemeth, and that Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch) are going to take advantage of what has been happening. He says that they must coexist tonight. Santana says that he has known Navarro for a long time, and tells him not to forget who is looking out for him.

Mike Santana, KC Navarro and "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth beat Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch) following a double Rolling Buck Fifty followed by a double Danger Zone on Skyler and Hotch, who both get pinned at the same time by Nic Nemeth and Mike Santana. After the match, "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth shows up and attacks Santana from behind as Navarro gets between Santana and Nic Nemeth, and when Santana goes for a clothesline on Ryan, he inadvertently hits Navarro. Nic Nemeth then hits Santana with a superkick.



Backstage, "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth checks on KC Navarro and tells him not to trust anybody. Nemeth says that Mike Santana should not have hit Navarro as Navarro says that it was all inadvertent, and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth shows up and says Navarro deserved it. Santana shows up, surrounded by security who have to break up a brawl. Santana checks on Navarro, who tells Santana to get his head in the game.

It's time for The King's Speech. Frankie Kazarian gives a brief history of the Ultimate X Match because the fans in Denver, Colorado "live in the mountains and don't get much information" before saying that the match was made for him and has won more of them than anyone else. Kazarian then introduces Leon Slater, who heads to the ring first, before introducing Cedric Alexander, who heads to the ring second. Kazarian asks Slater how it felt to come up short of making history, and Slater says he would be lying if he said it did not hurt. Cedric laughs and says he is glad it hurt, and Slater threatens to slap the look off his face before telling Cedric that he does not know what it is like to have so many people count on him only to fail. Cedric continues to brag about stopping Slater from having the longest reign with the X Division Championship, then says that he proved that Slater was not on his level and that everyone will remember how he beat Slater and stole his dream. Kazarian has to stop a brawl between the two men when Slater shoves Cedric in response and tell them to save it for Slammiversary, then says that Daria Rae gave him some information on their Ultimate X match: he is the third opponent in the match. He says that it does not matter if Cedric is champion or that Slater was champion, as the king will reign supreme.



As per the Bioflex Injury Report: KC Navarro is in evaluation following his left knee injury being re-aggravated. Lei Ying Lee has suffered a chipped tooth from tonight's brawl, yet remains cleared to compete. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) are medically cleared to return to action tonight.

We see a Behind The Music-style parody (called "Inside the Music"), where AJ Francis mentions Elijah not wanting to work with him, saying that he was inspired by Suge Knight to ensure that Elijah does not have the rights to his own music, and how he is a music mogul for owning Elijah's music catalog.

Eric Young guests on commentary for the next match.

Ricky Sosa beats Dak Draper in his first match in TNA in three months.



Backstage, The Elegance Brand (The Personal Concierge George Iceman, Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance, Mr. Elegance) knock on Daria Rae's door. The Personal Concierge asks if Mr. Elegance can fill one of the spots for the Ultimate X Match at Slammiversary, and Daria Rae says that Mr. Elegance is in. Suddenly, Indi Hartwell runs into Ash by Elegance. Ash sarcastically wishes Indi luck, and Indi hopes that Ash is watching so she can learn a thing or two.

Mara Sadé guests on commentary for the next match.

Indi Hartwell beats Elayna Black after Ash by Elegance shows up and is attacked by Mara Sadé. After the match, Mara Sade attacks Elayna Black.



Backstage, Fabian Aichner asks Director of Authority Santino Marella for a slot in the Ultimate X Match to get revenge on The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) by beating Cedric Alexander, and he gets it. "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth then shows up and asks if KC Navarro can be part of the match as well, and Santino slots KC Navarro into the match.

Backstage, Gia Miller is interrupted by Mike Santana, who says he is tired of "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth's games before telling Nic Nemeth to meet him in the ring after the main event.

The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson) beat Moose and The Broken Hardys (Brother Nero and "Broken" Matt Hardy) in a six-man tag match after The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) show up with a ladder and distract The Broken Hardys before Alisha Edwards is able to hit Moose with a shinai on the outside.



Mike Santana heads to the ring. Santana calls out "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth so they can handle things man-to-man, but he gets "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth instead. Ryan says Nic is the greatest wrestler in the world and the next TNA World Champion, but Santana says that Ryan's big brother is "a big bitch." This leads to a "He's a bitch" chant when Ryan disagrees, and Santana says he is still waiting. Nic Nemeth shows up and says Santana is "too emotional" and feeding off the people, then gives credit where it is due and says Santana has made the most of his fifteen minutes of fame before stating he is the best and that Santana is on borrowed time. Nic Nemeth states that he will become the TNA World Champion at Slammiversary, which leads to the crowd chanting "You're a bitch" before Santana says Nic is still at the top of the ramp and not in the ring, which makes him a bitch. Santana says he will see Nic Nemeth at Slammiversary, where he will spin the block, rip his head off and remain TNA World Champion.

He says that he is part of the UWN's Mount Rushmore and mentions that UWN has the audacity to cancel his check when they can cover $10,000, then mentions that he hurt his hand after reading a text from Brian Myers in the shower and slipping and falling.

Dustin Starr interviews "Outlandish" Zicky Dice at the announce desk.

Another trainee puts his fists up, but Mike overpowers him. There is only one trainee left, whom Mike Anthony calls "a babyface beast" before laying him out with a clothesline.

"Big Trouble" Ben Bishop beats DNA.

Sammy Guevara then climbs into the cage, and referees have to hold him back after he attacks MJF.



We hear from Frankie Kazarian, Penta el Zero M and Eddie Kingston.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Jungle Boy. Suddenly, Kenny Omega, Don Callis and MT Nakazawa show up. Omega says that Jungle Boy tarnished his image and stuck his nose in his business last week, and that this week, he will see how tough he is in a street fight.

Suddenly, the Cell lowers around Rey, then Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman show up. Roman says they do not have to do this, that he does not want to hurt Rey and that this is not his fault, and also says that Rey does not want to be in the Cell with him, saying that what he did to Dominik will be "PG" compared to what he will do to Rey.

Bianca says that Bayley will physically and mentally give her everything she's got, then tells Bayley that on Sunday, she does not just want her in the ring, she wants her inside Hell In A Cell, and that Bayley won't be laughing when she drags her around the Cell.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up to start tonight's show. Xavier Woods begins by talking about Kofi Kingston's WWE Championship defense in a steel cage match against Dolph Ziggler at Stomping Grounds, then says it will only happen if Ziggler wins later tonight. Big E proposes "The Freaky Hour" for the last hour of Raw - which involves a slip 'n slide - before Ziggler shows up. Ziggler calls this typical behavior of The New Day made to distract from what everybody knows: that Kofi does not deserve to be WWE Champion. He goes on to say that Kofi would be nothing without The New Day, who will not be able to have his back at Stomping Grounds to the point that Kofi will return to Ghana as part of an apology tour. Ziggler then says that at Stomping Grounds, it will be him slamming Kofi's body into the unforgiving steel, rubbing him against the cage wall, kicking ass and taking names and becoming WWE Champion. Kofi reminds Ziggler that this all started in a different cage - the Elimination Chamber - and that he is fully aware of the dangers of the steel cage and that he is okay with it. He then says that regardless of how it happens, he will beat Ziggler at Stomping Grounds and remain WWE Champion. Kofi then says that Xavier Woods has been waiting to get his hands on Ziggler since Super ShowDown and will have his chance tonight. Ziggler says he would be WWE Champion had it not been for Woods. Ziggler then states that after tonight, Woods will never be able to help Kofi again, and at Stomping Grounds, all the positivity and the comedy will come crumbling down when Kofi is locked in a steel cage with him. He promises that Kofi will not be WWE Champion after Sunday, because it should have been him.



Dolph Ziggler beats Xavier Woods. During the match, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn show up and attack Big E and Kofi Kingston. Owens and Sami are ejected, as are Kofi and Big E, but not before Xavier Woods wipes Owens and Sami out with a top rope cross body to the outside.

Shane proposes they take on Kofi Kingston and Rollins in a two-out-of-three falls match to "take care of the bad people."

We hear from Aleister Black, who asks what it takes to change the essence of a man. He says he understands why nobody has picked a fight with him: he can hear the whispers of those who pass by. He says that these whispers state that he would amount to nothing, but this is a "woe is his opponents" story, not a "woe is me" one, for when someone picks a fight with him, he will change the essence of that man.



Shane McMahon shows up with Elias and Drew McIntyre. Shane states it is time to place a spotlight exactly where it should be: Drew McIntyre, who will defeat Roman Reigns at Stomping Grounds. Drew prays that Roman is listening to him tonight, because Shane asked him not to end his career, for "they are better than that." He talks about Roman's assault on them in the VIP Lounge last night, and says that he wants Roman at 100% on Sunday. Suddenly, The Miz shows up and and shows the video of Roman Reigns' attack at the VIP Lounge from last night, then shows slow-motion footage of Shane running away from Roman and Shane getting beaten up by Roman Reigns. After reminding Shane that he's "the boss' son," he states that he will fill Miz TV with highlights of Roman Reigns knocking Drew McIntyre out. Miz says that Shane McMahon made SmackDown Live "the land of opportunities," but now all the opportunities go to Shane to feed his ego and everyone is tired of it. He then feels that he has created a monster when he got injured at the World Cup, and states that Shane is his responsibility, for he started Shane on his current path and it is time for him to end it. Shane says he had to take care of things himself, since Miz could not get the job done, then proposes that Miz face Elias and Drew McIntyre in a tag team match with a partner of his choosing, should he find a partner in the next ten seconds. Suddenly, R-Truth pops out from underneath the ring, and The Miz notices him. He declares R-Truth to be his partner, and that Awesome Truth is back.

Alexa is handed the Raw Women's title, and she holds it up. Angle announces that although Nia Jax is doing physical therapy, she is exercising her rematch clause at Extreme Rules. Alexa, wanting to focus on last night, thanks the fans for the opportunity to rub it in all their faces, as she showed what it was like to beat up bullies in Nia Jax and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey and shocked the world when she cashed in and won. She says that from now on, there will be no talk about "The Irresistible Force;" instead, it is all about her. Suddenly, Ronda Rousey shows up. Angle stops her from getting close to Alexa as the crowd chants "Let them fight!" Alexa says she thought Ronda would also be doing physical therapy, then asks if she is here to learn a lesson after last night. Alexa admits that Ronda was seconds away from making Nia Jax to an arm bar, then gloats about the fact that she took that victory away from her and says Ronda is out here because she can't stand the fact that the headlines weren't about her. She then goes on to call Ronda "irrelevant" and tells her to go back to the line after calling her an "overhyped rookie." Ronda then sidesteps Angle and charges at Alexa, and goes for the ground and pound. Angle tries to stop her, but gets thrown to the mat before Ronda attacks Alexa and hits her with the briefcase on the table. Angle tries to stop her again, but also gets whacked with the briefcase.

He says Elias took him to his limit last night and he loved every minute, but he still stands as WWE Intercontinental Champion.

He then says that even after all that, winning the Money In The Bank contract is his greatest achievement, and now all Brock Lesnar has to do is show is face and he will cash in and become WWE Universal Champion, because Lesnar will get these hands. Suddenly, Kevin Owens shows up. Strowman says he is surprised to see Owens after tossing him off a twenty-foot ladder. Owens, nursing a hurt elbow, says he probably should not be out here, but is here to be the first to congratulate him. He then says that Strowman deserves the Money In The Bank contract, and that he knew he would win, which is why he tried to get everyone else in the match to neutralize him to no success. Owens then tells Strowman to be smart about his cash-in, and he wants to supply him with strategy. He tells Strowman that neither of them have anyone to depend on, and that his life changed when he won the contract. Owens proposes that they help each other, and asks Strowman to give him a title shot if he wins the title. He even says that they can start their partnership tonight.

Roman tells Angle his answer is standing in front of him, as he had Lesnar beat at Greatest Royal Rumble and he is the uncrowned Universal Champion. He also says a full-time champion would help Angle run Raw better. Angle says he appreciates Roman's confidence. All of a sudden, Bobby Lashley shows up. Lashley tells Roman Reigns he has watched Roman beat his head against the wall for three years, and that he does not have what it takes to finish the job. He tells Roman to let someone who can beat Brock do it, and says he can beat both Lesnar and Roman. Angle says both men are deserving, and says that the next person to face Lesnar will be the winner of a multi-man match at a latter date. After he says that Lashley and Roman are in the match, The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) show up. The Revival ask whatever happened to earning things the old-fashioned way, as they have been working for opportunities on Raw only for guys like Roman and Lashley to get in the way. They say this ends tonight. They challenge Roman and Lashley, knowing full well they are about to tear each other apart, to a tag team match against them right now. They bank on the fact that they can't get along so they can get the win. Roman mocks The Revival, then says that he will take them school and that Lashley will learn something if they pay attention.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) beat The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) by count-out after The Usos walk out of the match and into the crowd after Jey falls victim to the Midnight Hour and Jimmy pulls him out of the ring.



"Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. and Sgt. Slaughter are seen chatting backstage.

Naomi retains the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Lana. During the match, Carmella, James Ellsworth and a referee show up, and Carmella entertains the thought of cashing in her Money In The Bank Briefcase but decides not to. This distracts Lana to the point that Naomi not only kicks out at one, but reverses Lana's sit-out spinebuster into the submission maneuver that won her the SmackDown Women's title.



The Fashion Files becomes Fashion Vice tonight. Tyler Breeze and Fandango wait for the forensics regarding the attack on Breeze, and get a fax saying "Answer the door." Breeze answers the door and finds a video tape labelled "Watch Me," which they watch. The shadowed attackers, their voices edited, tell Breezango to come to the ring if they want to know who they are.



The show is interrupted by Michael Bennett and Maria Kanellis-Bennett, known now as Mike and Maria Kanellis. Maria says "The First Lady of Wrestling" is back in WWE, after spending the last seven years finding the perfect partner and finding Mike. Maria says they are here to educate the SmackDown Live roster on the power of love. After the match, JBL admits "He took her name."



Greg Gagne, Larry "The Axe" Hennig, Baron Von Raschke, Sgt. Slaughter, "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. and Ric Flair are honored for their contributions to wrestling in the St. Louis, Missouri area.

Jinder Mahal retains the WWE Championship against Randy Orton. During the match, The Singh Brothers (Sunil and Samir Singh) place Jinder's foot on the bottom rope after the RKO, and are ejected. Before they leave, they mouth off to the St. Louis legends in the front row and grab "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. by the shirt collar. Randy Orton gets out of the ring and lays them both out before putting Samir in an RKO on the outside mat before putting Sunil in an RKO through a commentary table. After Orton gets back in the ring, however, Jinder kicks at the hurt left leg of Orton and hits his Cobra Clutch slam to retain.



The culprits who attacked Tyler Breeze and trashed Breezango's (Tyler Breeze and Fandago) office are revealed to be The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor).

Baron Corbin beats Kevin Owens, "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn, AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler in a Money In The Bank Ladder Match to win the Money In The Bank Briefcase after toppling the ladder while Styles and Nakamura - the latter of whom he took out before the match began and did not return until three-quarters of the way through - fight each other at the top, clearing the ladder and giving him a clear path to the briefcase.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for June 18, 2016

Dalton Castle beats Gedo.

Adam Cole says that it's only one week before the ROH World title match. He says he won't get involved as he will be picking up the scraps afterwards, and that's a promise that's just too sweet.

We look back at Jay Lethal's World title win from Best In The World last year, as well as Jay Briscoe's near-win against Lethal back in April.

Tomohiro Ishii beats Will Ferrara.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) tells Bullet Club (Matt Jackson, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega, Tama Tonga, Tonga Roa) that they're not taking over Ring of Honor tonight, especially when they're tag teaming with Jay Lethal and Roderick Strong tonight.

Steve Corino shows up. He tells us that calling himself an evil man isn't just a slogan, and that he tried to shed his "evil man" image a few years ago to no avail. He calls BJ Whitmer the biggest piece of trash he's ever seen climb into the ring, and says that Whitmer will pay for pushing him to his limits. He also tells Whimer that he's got the wrong mask, as he's not Mr. Wrestling III and the real mask is his glasses and three-piece suit. He tells Whitmer he's already in a special place in Hell and that he will take Whitmer with him. At Best In The World, Whitmer will never be in ROH again as he will be taking out the trash.

Jay Lethal says that Bullet Club (Matt Jackson, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega, Tama Tonga, Tonga Roa) has strength in numbers, but he wants to see what happens when those numbers are taken out. As for Roderick Strong, he has nothing against Bullet Club, but he has a problem with them attacking Ring of Honor, and that it'll be too sweet when Ring of Honor's hands are raised.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe), Jay Lethal and Roderick Strong beat Bullet Club (Matt Jackson, "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega, Tama Tonga, Tonga Roa). Jay Briscoe and Jay Lethal stare down after the match.
