Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for July 9, 2026

The Broken Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero) retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships against The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch). After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva awards the TNA World Tag Team Championships to The Broken Hardys, then Mustafa Ali shows up with Special Agent Zero and makes a phone call.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Lei Ying Lee. Lei Ying Lee says that Slammiversary was painful, as she not only lost the TNA Knockouts World Championship, but a friend. She says that Xia Brookside wants a championship more than friendship, but now, there will only be a fight between them and she will take the title back.

It's time for The King's Speech. Tonight's special guest is Moose. Moose calls Slammiversary the most emotional moment of his life, and says that in his decade in TNA, he has beaten legends and champions, won championships, main evented pay-per-views, and now he has shared the ring with his family. Moose says that he will cherish that forever, then says that he will continue to dominate in TNA. He says that he chases nobody, and if anyone wants some, they can come get some. Kazarian says that Moose has held it down and become dominant in TNA, and that Moose is in the conversation of who the face of TNA is, but Moose says that he is the conversation. This leads to Kazarian asking Moose "Are you stupid?" and saying that he has to be to say he is the face of the franchise while in the presence of a king, but Moose wants to know who crowned Kazarian "King of TNA." Kazarian says it is the people, but Moose says he is "the face of the franchise" because he has seen people come and go and has seen people make a name for themselves in TNA and leave to chase money and stardom. Moose then says that he is not going anywhere, and for that, he is "the face of the place." Kazarian says that he is the last TNA original standing, a pioneer of the X-Division, and a Grand Slam Champion who has helped build TNA from the ground up. Moose says that Kazarian may be the most annoying person in the locker room, he respects him and considers him a pillar of TNA. Moose then mentions that he and Kazarian have never had a singles match. Moose proposes that they give the fans a first-time-ever dream match, but Kazarian says he has no interest in that and says that he has talked to somebody and that they both agree that Moose is an idiot with an ugly NFL career. That person ends up being AJ Francis, who shows up with Expressions and mentions his own NFL career before saying Moose left the NFL before he could arrive because he is scared of him. Moose says he is done talking and wants to fight, and proposes he and Francis go one-on-one. Expressions interrupts, saying things are done on AJ Francis' time and that Francis is a prizefighter; nevertheless, they accept, but for next week.



We hear from Elijah, who says that since he entered TNA, he has had one goal: the TNA World Championship. Elijah says he wants to take everyone to the promised land with him to the title after carrying everyone's burdens for so long.

Indi Hartwell beats "Vicious" Vikki Venuto to advance in the TNA Knockouts Television Championship.

Jody Threat beats Gabby Forza to advance in the TNA Knockouts Television Championship.



Backstage, Mustafa Ali says that change is needed and that there will be a "State of the Order" address with mandatory attendance as he puts on a tie.

KC Navarro heads to the ring. Navarro talks about last week, saying he spent a lot of time with a man he looked up to, respected and called a hero only to be turned on, then says that if "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is a real man, then he should come to the ring to explain himself. Nic Nemeth shows up and says he believed in Navarro and thought that if he could have some time, he could make Navarro into the next upcoming star of TNA, but "nobody has that much time" and he realized that Navarro did not deserve to stand near him. He says that Navarro is "pretty good," but he just "does not have it." Navarro says he busted eleven years to get to TNA and says that it is Nic's brother "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth who does not have "it." Navarro is suddenly blindsided by Ryan, and Nic says that it is easy to say that blood is thicker than water, then says that Navarro did not even belong to be in his shadow before telling Navarro to leave him and his family alone.



Xia Brookside retains the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Lei Ying Lee in a no-disqualification match after blocking a punch with a metal folding chair before hitting Darkside onto the chair.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for June 4, 2026

Eddie Edwards beats BDE due to the rest of The System (Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) distracting the referee. After the match, Fabian Aichner shows up before The System can attack BDE further, and he almost easily wipes them out before getting planted by Bear Bronson. Suddenly, Leon Slater shows up and jump kicks Cedric in the head before heading to the ring and cleaning house with both Aichner and BDE. Slater then leaps over the ring post to take out The System as a whole.



We see a video package for the Wicked Garden Match between The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Vincent says the garden in the next step towards evolution, and Dutch says that the garden not only moves tonight, but that The Hardy swill not leave the same way they entered. Vincent says that the garden is alive and it feeds, and tonight, it will see something new.

AJ Francis makes his way to the ring. AJ Francis says 2026 has been "a money year" for him not just in the bank or in the ring, but because he has lost 300 pounds of dead weight by kicking KC Navarro and Rich Swann to the curb. He says that he lost "half of me, and that half of me makes masterpiece after masterpiece" before comparing himself to some musical greats and calling himself "the artist of a generation." AJ Francis debut a song called "Walk," the cover of which is AJ Francis looking like a dead ringer for Elijah. All of a sudden, the real Elijah shows up as AJ Francis performs, saying he showed up just as AJ Francis was about to embarrass himself. He also says that he had to see this for himself, and Francis insists that his new track is his music and his intellectual property. The two of them argue over whether the cover for the new song is a Photoshop before Elijah realizes it is all about the collaboration request. AJ Francis then serves Elijah with a cease and desist, stating that AJ Francis has acquired the rights, image and music catalog for Elijah, Elias and Ezekiel, and states that he owns Elijah now. Elijah states that legal jargon aside, he will still perform tonight with a song called "Don't Shill Uncle Phil." AJ Francis hits Elijah with a microphone so hard that he busts him open, then leaves.

She says that Indi Hartwell is only interested in Director of Authority Santino Marella's family drama in order to kiss up to the boss and also because she cannot survive on her own talent by herself, as she is not like her. Elayna says that she is the only one in the division who matters and the next TNA Knockouts World Champion, whether anybody likes it or not.

Eric Young is in the ring. He says that he has been warning the fans for months that TNA is "sick" and "poison" and needs to be cleansed, for it is filled with lies from fake heroes before stating that he exposed Joe Hendry as a liar and also got rid of Ricky Sosa and EC3. He then says that he can see through Mike Santana and that he is sick with ego, selfishness and addiction to the fans' applause and approval like everyone else, and that he will beat him because he needs neither of those things, as he is above them both. Mike Santana shows up and heads to the ring, then says that while Eric Young thinks his words and actions keep him relevant, he has not been relevant for over fifteen years. He also questions Eric's belief that taking him out will make him the savior of TNA. Eric Young says he has been the one constant of TNA while so many people have came and went and poisoned TNA with ego and selfishness, but Santana says what is really poison in TNA is people like Eric Young. Eric asks Santana if the fans actually care about him, and the fans cheer before stating that Santana's shine will wear off to the point that the fans will turn on Santana like they did to him. He says that he is only one willing to pick TNA back up and fix it before telling Santana that he will piledrive him, take the TNA World Championship and take his power back. Santana tells Eric Young that he will find out that he is a man of his word and that next week, he will break his foot off in his ass. He then says that he and the fans are all tired of hearing Eric, and that they might as well do this right now. Eric Young kicks Mike Santana in the groin and piledrives him before holding up the TNA World Championship.



As per the Bioflex Injury Report: Elijah is in evaluation after a cut to his ear following the microphone shot from AJ Francis earlier tonight, and is not expected to miss any ring time.

Eric Young beats EC3 in a no-disqualification match with a piledriver through a table and another piledriver into a metal folding chair.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Arianna Grace and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. Arianna says she should not be having a rematch, as she has beaten Lei Ying Lee and has proven she is better than her. She then says that her father Director of Authority Santino Marella wants her to be humbled, and Stacks says Santino is playing mind games and is having to jump through hoop after hoop. Stacks says that Arianna has this, and Arianna takes this as Stacks having a plan. Arianna and Stacks flirt, which makes Gia Miller almost want to throw up.

Backstage, we hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander). Brian Myers says they are carrying the workload, and the tag team titles are on the line. He says that "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and KC Navarro should prepare to battle. Bear Bronson cannot wait to rip Nic and Navarro's faces off. Cedric Alexander says that he and Eddie Edwards will take care of Leon Slater and Moose, and he wants to pin Leon Slater one more time.

Elayna Black heads to the ring. Elayna says that she is the number one Knockout in the Knockouts Division and the only one that matters, then states that she is coming after whoever is Knockouts World Champion after tonight and taking the title. As Elayna boasts that she makes more money and gets more attention than the rest of the Knockouts and says that she is a business, The Personal Concierge George Iceman shows up and says Ash by Elegance has something to say about that. Ash shows up and says Elayna looks like "a gothic prostitute" as she and The Personal Concierge walk down the ramp, and says The Elegance Brand not only makes money, but swims in it. She also says that if Elayna is a business, then she is an empire, as she is a millionaire with a mansion and a yacht. All of a sudden, they are joined by Indi Hartwell. Indi says that this argument is "embarrassing" and that there is a Knockouts World Championship main event tonight while they are comparing paychecks while it means something. Ash and Elayna tell Indi she sounds poor. Ash and Elayna then argue over who will become the next Knockouts World Championship, but Indi says neither of them can focus enough on an argument. Elayna leaves, and Ash tells Indi to "let the real Knockouts talk about it" only for Indi to call her completely fake. Ash throws a punch at Indi, but Indi blocks it and knocks Ash out of the ring.

We hear from The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Matt Hardy is now broken as he says that The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) do not understand the gravity of the situation and have opened Pandora's Box. He says they wanted The Broken Hardys, and now they are here. Matt says that mortal men have transparent barriers in their minds and have no idea how to break through, overcome and break them down, but he and Brother Nero have been broken, and now The Broken Hardys are a gateway to what they will become, which is something much more serious. Jeff Hardy says that Brother Nero is near and here to instill fear, then closes his eyes, opens them back up, and reveals that his irises now have a checkerboard pattern, revealing that Brother Nero has arrived.



Mike Santana heads to the ring. Santana talks about his battle to take the TNA World Championship back from NXT last summer and bring TNA back to his essence as well as how he and Rich Swann brought the house down in their World title match. Santana tells the fans that he gives his heart and his soul in the ring every single night, then says that he likes giving out his own opportunities and will continue to do just that, and will be naming his next opponent for the World Championship. Before he can name who is next, Daria Rae shows up and says that this is not happening and that Santana does not make his own matches or pick his own opponent. She also says she did not like the match with Rich Swann. She also mentions that Director of Authority Santino Marella's flight has been cancelled and that he cannot pick Santana's next opponent, so she will. She announces that there will be a battle royal next week, with the winner getting a World title shot. Santana says that Daria Rae is right about him not being able to make the decisions, as the fans do, then says Daria Rae has been stroking her ego since she showed up and that his foot will go up the challenger's ass before he hits Spin the Block. When Santana's entrance theme plays, Daria Rae stops it and demands her theme play instead, which it does.



We hear from AJ Francis, who says that TNA forced him to put "that pink haired freak" KC Navarro in Fir$t Cla$$, and says that when he got rid of Navarro, he made things worse by stealing wins from him. He then says he will steal something from Navarro - his health - and that they will be in a Sacktown Street Fight next week in Sacramento, California, where Francis will prove why he is the best big man in the business, which is money, money, money.

Backstage, we hear from KC Navarro. He says that AJ Francis wants to talk smack about him, money and championships he cannot win after putting him on the shelf for eight months. He says that Francis took advantage of him even after he tore his ACL, then says he busted his ass for eight months to prove he is more than a replacement and to prove that he belongs in TNA.

The Personal Concierge George Iceman shows up, but Mickie tells him to get out. A furious Ash shows up, then calls Mickie James an "irrelevant, washed-up legend. Mickie says she thought Ash was a friend, and reminds Ash that she called her when she was released from WWE and that she called Tommy Dreamer to recommend her to TNA. Ash says TNA was already scouting her and that she was the hottest free agent at that time. Mickie also mentions Ash having Twitter/X beef with former Knockouts World Champions and calls her a mark, Ash says they came after her because she is relevant. Mickie says that if it were not for the fans, Ash would not be in TNA, but she has since turned her back on them, and says she is better than that. Ash says she does not care about the fans and that she only cares about the Knockouts Championship she never lost. Mickie wants to know where the Knockouts title is, as she had to leave the Knockouts Championship in the middle of the ring and has not won it back since, and considers the whole situation embarrassing. Ash says it is none of Mickie's business what happens to her, then says she is standing in the ring because of hard work and proclaims that she is better than the fans, the locker room, the legends and even Mickie. Mickie reminds Ash that she is "Hardcore Country," and if she does not want to talk about things, then they can fight about it. All of a sudden, they can fight about it. Suddenly, The Elegance Brand (The Personal Concierge, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance, Mr. Elegance) is in the back with Mickie's family, and Mickie heads to the back only for The Elegance Brand to show up and gang up on her.

Tom Hannifan interviews Steve Maclin in the ring. Maclin is surrounded by four security guards on his way there. Maclin says this is about him, not Mike Santana, and the day that he opened the briefcase that told him he was fired and everyone thanking him for everything he had done for TNA. He says that as he was leaving the building, Mike Santana - who he considers the most selfish person in TNA - thanked him for his selflessness. He says that he and Santana had a brotherhood, but Santana broke it long before the attack. He mentions that Santana did not show up for their tag team match at Turning Point, and that Santana told him that something came up and that he was stuck in a meeting. Maclin then says he could keep showing up and talking about his personal problems, including his alcohol problems in WWE as well as his PTSD, but he laces his boots up and keeps a smile on his face. He then accuses Hannifan of sounding just like the fans, and says Hannifan is only in the ring and at the announce table every week because he got him this job. Hannifan says it killed him to see Maclin lose his job, and that he tried everything as his friend to help him personally, then says multiple people have gone to bat for him for the last two years more than Maclin will ever know, but one cannot help one who cannot listen. He says that Maclin has been fined for the same things multiple times over and has failed to take any accountability, and asks why Maclin should be any different from anyone else in the locker room. Maclin strikes Hannifan in the gut with his microphone, then Mike Santana shows up from out of the crowd. Maclin gets out of the ring as Santana gets in.

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.

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.

She tells Brookside that if she wants to be taken seriously and prove she belongs, then she should find a partner and meet them in the ring, then they will see if she will take her revenge when it is gift-wrapped. Brookside says she will get her revenge, and that she has the perfect partner.

It's time for Fir$t Cla$$ Penthouse. Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navaro) reintroduce themselves, then AJ Francis says he cannot understand how El Paso, Texas got a second episode of their segment when it is "muy pobre," then Chavo Guerrero Jr. suddenly shows up. AJ Francis says that anyone who wrestled in World Championship Wrestling needs to sit down before they get hurt, and if he wanted "the second-best Guerrero," he would have called "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio. Chavo says the jury is still out on that, as Dominik's mother got around and his father was good looking. Suddenly, Frankie Kazarian shows up and says AJ Francis brought this on himself. Kazarian says it has been a good while since they have seen each other, and that he has not forgotten how he and Hernandez stole the TNA World Tag Team Championships and "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels from him in 2012.

Ryan then brings Nic out, then Nic talks about how everyone was talking about TNA again, how it had a buzz and how it was the place to be. He says that it was all true and that it was all because of him.
