Vincent says that he and Dutch believe in brotherhood, but now The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) do not want to get close after what happened at No Surrender. Dutch says it was a big misunderstanding and that he has apologized and wants to regain The Hardys' trust.

Jody Threat is out with a rib injury after last week's match, but will return to competition next week. Leon Slater is currently being evaluated following tonight's opening contest.
Mickie James heads to the ring. She says that she has heard what Ash by Elegance had to say about her, then says she has a lot to say and calls Ash out. 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. Ash then mockingly hits Mickie with her own DDT on the stage before The Elegance Brand leaves.

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. When Matthew Rehwoldt confronts Maclin, Maclin shoves him. Santana then checks on Hannifan.
Gia Miller replaces Tom Hannifan on commentary for the rest of the night.

In memory of George Tahinos, 1962 - 2025.
Mike Santana heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He brings a metal folding chair into the ring in addition to a microphone. Santana sits down and talks about how one month ago, he was on top of the world after winning the TNA World Championship and sharing a moment that would live with him for the rest of his life with his daughter. 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. Kazarian asks JDC what he has done to deserve a title shot, then Santino tells JDC that if he can beat Eric Young tonight, he will get his title match. Kazarian is furious.
Dani Luna beats Indi Hartwell, Myla Grace and Rosemary in a four-way match to move one step closer to becoming #1 contender for the TNA Knockouts World Championship after hitting Indi with a chain introduced into the match by Rosemary.
Backstage, Eric Young has two masked men in black pass out pamphlets outside of the building before he is interviewed by Gia Miller. Eric Young takes offense to JDC earning a shot at the World Championship for winning in their match while he would earn nothing if he won, then says he will beat JDC and show that the cleanse is coming.
Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella wondered how the invaders from NXT got into the building at Turning Point, then decides to let them in. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) and Steve Maclin show up, and Santino says he needs something to lure them in. Jeff Hardy says they have bait in the form of the TNA World Tag Team Championships.
Mance Warner beats Matt Cardona after hitting Cardona with Steph de Lander's purse as Steph distracts both Cardona and the referee.
As per the Bioflex Injury Report: Mike Santana has suffered a torn UCL and a hyperextended elbow at Turning Point, but he is being monitored. Elijah is out with a re-injured torn triceps. Meanwhile, multiple TNA wrestlers are being monitored after the attack from the NXT outsiders' attack at Turning Point.
We hear from the NXT outsiders. Robert Stone says that they are doing the same thing TNA did, only better. Tyriek Igwe and Tyson DuPont say they are done waiting for opportunities and are now taking them. Josh Briggs brags about injuring "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, and Charlie Dempsey brags about injuring Mike Santana. Stacks says everyone in the ring had it coming. Robert Stone says that he is not the mastermind, yet all the other outsiders know where the brains are at. Lexis King says they will shatter TNA into a million pieces.
Backstage, we hear from Matt Cardona, who says that while Steph de Lancer knows a lot about him, she does not know everything. He also says that Mance Warner is not much of a brother, and while both men want to get to the top, Mance will have to go through him. He challenges Mance Warner to a street fight, saying that he is not only always ready, but he is "The Death Match King."
John Skyler beats Myron Reed after Jason Hotch, who shows up to distract Reed, pulls Reed backwards out of a pinfall attempt from a Sunset Flip on the outside, reversing the pinfall attempt and giving Skyler the win. 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.
The Elegance Brand (The Personal Concierge George Iceman, Ash by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, M by Elegance) continue their search for Mr. Elegance, and The Personal Concierge is the only one who can see the contestants. Ash by Elegance ends up kissing the first contestant, and the second contestant is disqualified for wearing a salmon-colored suit.

JDC tells Kazarian not to mention his wife again, and challenges Kazarian to a World title match. Kazarian asks JDC what he has done to deserve a title shot, then Santino tells JDC that if he can beat Eric Young tonight, he will get his title match. Kazarian is furious.

He also says that Mance Warner is not much of a brother, and while both men want to get to the top, Mance will have to go through him. He challenges Mance Warner to a street fight, saying that he is not only always ready, but he is "The Death Match King."

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.

In footage from earlier today, Eric Young confronts Director of Authority Santino Marella and demands a match with Joe Hendry. Santino says that the match is official as he tells Eric he is lucky he did not fire him for putting his hands on a referee, and Eric says that he does not have the balls to fire him and dares Santino to fire him as he continuously calls him a puppet. Santino tells Young that the higher-ups want this match, and therefore it is happening.
Victoria Crawford beats Jody Threat following the distraction by Tessa Blanchard, who has not been seen since Against All Odds.
Backstage, we hear from Joe Hendry, who says that Eric Young was the one to mentor him and help him figure things out on his return to TNA, but he got too successful for Eric's liking to the point that Eric Young became a jealous conspiracy theorist who thinks Hendry is turning away from the values he used to preach. Hendry states that at Victory Road, Eric Young will find out why the fans chant "We believe."
Backstage, we hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose). Eddie Edwards says their path to Bound For Glory is set. Myers says they have been down a family member in JDC, but JDC will be at Victory Road no matter what. Moose says he does not need his family to win matches, yet Mustafa Ali has yet to prove the same with his faction. He then challenges Mustafa to a match with no seconds at ringside for Victory Road, which he thinks will not happen, then says he will prove why he is the face of the franchise and why you always trust The System.
Before the next match, AJ Francis re-introduces himself, then says that unlike Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, he will not be eliminated early by "a bunch of losers" and "a bunch of broads." He says he has been told never to concern himself with the actions of losers, but when it comes to broads, it is "the money over the honey." When he gets in Rosemary's face and says that he would slam her even though he would never hit a woman, Rosemary spits green mist in his face. AJ Francis soon gets eliminated by everyone else in the match.

Director of Authority Santino Marella is in the ring for "The Final Negotation." Team 3D (Bully Ray and Brother Devon) is introduced first, followed by The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy). Bully Ray says that out of respect for what The Hardys continue to do for TNA, he will allow them the floor first. Matt Hardy says it is surreal that both teams are in a TNA ring. He says that when The Hardys returned to TNA, they wanted to cement themselves as the greatest of all time, and while they have made some all-time lists, they will never catch up to Team 3D on the "most decorated" list. Bully Ray says TNA is what it is because of The Hardys. Matt says that to cement themselves as the greatest of all time, they must beat Team 3D one last time. Bully Ray tells Brother Devon that they made a lot of memories and history with The Hardys, and D-Von mentions the time they were 25 feet in the air and says "Never again, you son of a bitch!" Matt Hardy mentions falling off a 16-foot ladder and going through 4 tables, and Bully Ray wonders how even Jeff Hardy is still alive. Both teams agree they have been through a lot and made a lot of history together, and while they are going through memory lane and nostalgia, Bully Ray says that The Hardys need them at the end of the day, and that is the truth. Matt says the truth is the truth, and they need them at Bound For Glory to see who the greatest truly is. He says that whoever wins will shake the others' hands and proclaim the other team as the greatest. Bully Ray then asks what they have to offer them, and Matt Hardy says they are putting the tag team titles on the line. If Team 3D wins, they will be 25-time world tag team champions. Bully Ray says there are more deserving teams, but Matt Hardy wants them to jump to the front of the line for one special match that will happen one final time. Santino agrees to this, and asks the fans if they want this, to which the fans agree. Bully Ray rejects the offer, however, and the fans chant "We want tables!" Bully Ray then mentions their tag team tables match at Royal Rumble 2000, which The Hardys won, then says Team 3D needs The Hardys as much as The Hardys need them. He says that this loss has bothered them to this day, especially since it was in their hometown of New York City, then says that if they are going to do this, they will do this the right way: in a tables match. Santino Marella then makes it official and hands the contract to Team 3D, but Bully Ray says they do not need a contract as Devon tears the contract up, and that all they need to do is shake hands. Both teams shake hands in the middle of the ring.
Backstage, we hear from Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz). Mustafa is the kind of tired that sleep cannot fix, as he is tired of explaining himself as well as the disrespect, and he is tired of The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose). He says that actions have consequences regarding Moose's stipulation for Victory Road. John Skyler says that Order 4 will unleash those consequences, and Jason Hotch says they are what a family really looks like. Tasha Steelz says that at Bound For Glory, they will stand united while The System falls divided. Mustafa then accepts Moose's challenge for Victory Road, but he does not like to leave anything to chance. He says that whoever wins between himself and Moose will earn the advantage for Hardcore War for their team. The System then shows up, and both factions have a staredown.
Before the next match, Steve Maclin ends up playing the part of the microphone that fails to drop down from the ceiling.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for July 24, 2025
In memory of Hulk Hogan, 1953 - 2025.
Director of Authority Santino Marella heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He talks about how both world titles are in the hands of NXT wrestlers and that he will do everything he can to rectify the situation. He also considers TNA taking some of NXT's gold, too, and he plans to take the NXT North American Championship away from "All Ego" Ethan Page. Suddenly, Masha Slamovich shows up and heads to the ring. Masha says she is here to get what is hers, especially after she beat everyone put in front of her and put the Knockouts division on her back. She says that Jacy Jayne stole the title from her and she wants her contractual rematch next week. Santino gives Masha her rematch, then The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC) shows up and heads to the ring. Alisha and Masha fist bump as Masha heads to the back. Eddie says that The System are warriors who are willing to fight for what TNA stands for, and that they represented TNA as a whole when they sent DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) packing. Eddie also says he has been in TNA for a long time and has done everything in his power to make TNA better, and he will be damned if any outsiders take something that does not belong to them. Myers says that TNA is their home, and JDC says that if TNA is going to war, The System will be their shoulders, as they do not break under pressure because they are the pressure. Moose says that he has done almost everything in TNA and that it is now about building his legacy, and that wrestling Leon Slater reminded him of why he loves wrestling so much. He says it is all about getting back up after getting knocked down and that Slater has earned the right to be X Division Champion. Moose then focuses on Trick Williams and the TNA World Championship, and says that he and Eddie have been here for a decade and are true faces of TNA after seeing people come and go and carrying the TNA flag through thick and thin. Trick Williams and Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) show up, and Trick tells Moose to sit down before mocking him for calling him out. He says that TNA is his house and that Moose does not have enough firepower. After Trick says that it is now "Trick-N-A," Moose dares Trick Williams to come down to the ring and see how TNA does things. Suddenly, Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) shows up, and Mustafa Ali threatens to bury Trick if he mentions his name again. Mustafa then claims that Order 4 is the greatest faction in TNA, then demands the fans rise and give him a proper round of applause as he takes his rightful spot as the leader of the greatest faction of all time. This leads to a brawl between The System and Order 4, and security quickly rushes into the ring to restore order.

Leon Slater heads to the ring. He says that Slammiversary was not just the biggest night of his life, but the biggest night in TNA's history, and he walked out as the youngest X Division Champion of all time. Slater states that he had to go through one of the best in Moose, but when the dust settled, Moose personally put the title around his waist in a show of respect. He also mentions "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles' sudden appearance and calls what happened during it "history," then says that he plans to bring the X Division back to its roots and promises to make his reign a special one. Slater also gives special thanks to The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) not only for paving the way for him, but for so many others in the business, and asks them to come to the ring, which they do. Matt says there is a special energy in the building tonight and in TNA, and says that this energy is what keeps the Hardy train going full speed ahead. Jeff says that they will keep going until the wheels fall off before Steve Maclin suddenly shows up and heads to the ring. Maclin says that he is not happy with what happened at Slammiversary with outsiders showing up and winning their world titles, then calls Slater and The Hardys "real TNA champions." He says that the four of them have put their blood and sweat into TNA and that the fans believe in them, and it is up to them to hold the line and make a declaration, and warns anyone who steps up that TNA is their home and to be ready for a war.

Jacy then says she will change the face of history, stating that people will think of her when they think of the title before promising that she will make her reign a good one.

Eddie Edwards beats Steve Maclin after The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) shows up and distracts Steve Maclin as he takes down Brian Myers and JDC, allowing Alisha Edwards to sneak a ring to Eddie so he can knock Maclin out for the win. After the match, Eric Young tosses his hockey mask to Steve Maclin.
Joe Hendry heads to the ring. Hendry announces that he has suffered a serious rotator cuff injury, then says that if you cannot defend the championship, you should not be the champion. He calls the last year "the most amazing journey" and that it is all because of the fans, but he has to take the bad with the good, and that he has been advised not to compete. However, he will defend the TNA World Championship at Rebellion, and he will defend it against Frankie Kazarian and "All Ego" Ethan Page and walk out still the TNA World Champion. He says he will do it because the fans have kept chanting "We believe," then Kazarian shows up and says that while this is really inspiring, he is sick of Hendry, and Hendry will not walk out as champion because he will barely be able to walk into the building. He says that Hendry is "a wounded duck" and is not at 100%, and that he will not be able to hang with him. Kazarian says Hendry cares about what the fans think and desires to be loved, but when he loses that, he will beat him and "All Ego" Ethan Page to become champion. Hendry mentions Kazarian saying he cannot wait to beat him, and says that at Unbreakable there will be a tag team match. Kazarian will team with Tessa Blanchard, while he will team with Masha Slamovich to face Kazarian.
Here are the must-see moments from tonight's show!
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Steve Maclin. Maclin says that he is approaching tonight's match like he does every other one, and while he expects the rest of The System (Brian Myers, Moose, JDC, Alisha Edwards) to interfere, he will take care of Eddie Edwards. The Northern Armory (Eric Young, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) shows up, and Eric Young says that they have Maclin's back no matter what. Maclin tells The Northern Armory that he does not need them in his business.
"Inevitable" Ace Austin beats Mustafa Ali by disqualification after Mustafa hits Austin with a metal folding chair as Austin fends off The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch). After the match, The Great Hands hit Ace Austin with The Favor, then hold down Austin in the corner at Mustafa's command. Tasha Steelz hands a chair to Mustafa, then Mike Santana suddenly shows up. Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands - now known as "Order Four" - run away through the crowd after Mustafa swings at Santana only for Santana to block the chair with his fist.
Backstage, Order Four (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) make their way out of the arena and into a waiting car. They soon find out Santana is in the driver's seat, and while everyone else escapes, Skyler is taken for a ride after Santana attacks him.
Before the next match, JDC tells Cody Deaner not to pander to the fans before asking him when he last won a match. He says he knows Deaner's contract is up soon and that things are not looking good for him and his kids. He offers Deaner a spot in The System, albeit as "a young boy" and not as an official member, and tells him to trust The System as he does not have many options. Once again, Deaner leaves the choice up to the fans, who make it clear that they do not want him to join The System. JDC tells Deaner not to listen to the fans, but Deaner proposes beating Moose for the X Division Championship. Moose laughs and says that if Deaner can last two minutes against him, he can get a shot at the X Division Championship. Deaner leaves the choice to the fans, and the fans make it clear they want to see this challenge.
Moose retains the TNA X Division Championship against Cody Deaner. Cody Deaner lasts the first two minutes to make the match an X Division title match after Moose lets the match keep going almost a minute in, but Moose beats him with two Spears shortly afterwards. After the match, JDC, Myers and Moose gang up on Cody Deaner, but they run away when The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) show up with baseball bats.
The System (Brian Myers and JDC) beat The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) after JDC holds down Trey Miguel's feet as Trey tries to get Myers back in the ring, allowing Myers to fall on top of Trey for the win as JDC continues to hold Trey's feet down.
AJ Francis beats Sami Callihan and Mance Warner in a triple threat match to advance in the TNA International Championsip Tournament after hitting Callihan with the TFL following Callihan plunging his thumb into Mance Warner's eye.
Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella confronts Sami Callihan for ramming his thumb in Mance Warner's eye. Sami Callihan mentions Steph de Lander burning his retina with hot coffee, and says he wants this to be over. Santino agrees, and Sami Callihan says he wants to make history doing it in a Barbed Wire Massacre Match. Santino makes it official for Unbreakable.
Leon Slater beats "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth with a Twist of Slate (a Twist of Fate into a Blunt Force Trauma) followed by a Swanton 450 Splash after The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) stop Ryan Nemeth from using a metal folding chair as a weapon.
We hear from Mustafa Ali, who tells John Skyler that he will go after Order Four (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz) one by one. He tells Skyler that Mustafa Ali will use him like everyone else and get rid of him when he is done. He says that all is fair in war and that if Skyler wants to drink his Kool-Aid, then he nearly hits him a shovel as he shows him what it is like to hit rock bottom.
