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.

Allie is out following a neck injury following her match with Heather by Elegance. "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is currently "in the best shape there is."

We hear from Fabian Aicher, who says that he is here to prove that he is the best wrestler in TNA. He also talks about growing up in Italy and how he came across professional wrestling, then says that his next goal is winning the X-Division Championship.

Backstage, Daria Rae and Director of Authority Santino Marella are met by "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth, who says that he knows KC Navarro is going to say things about his brother. Much to Santino's chagrin, Daria Rae tells Ryan that he has every right to defend himself and to do what he has to do.

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 25, 2026

The Broken Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero) head to the ring to start tonight's show. "Broken" Matt says that they have been reborn after stepping into the Wicked Garden, which he claims changed them, broke their bodies and smashed their souls. He says that the Wicked Garden was one of a kind and that they needed The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch), for it forced them to evolve and ascend. He says the Wicked Garden was pivotal in this change, and Brother Nero says he will never be the same. Brother Nero says they have been "rebroken by fate," and "Broken" Matt Hardy says that they will win back the TNA World Tag Team Championships. Suddenly, The Righteous show up. Vincent says that The Righteous walked The Broken Hardys through the Wicked Garden and showed every version of The Hardys, then says that there is more. He is also grateful that they are telling the truth. Dutch says the scars last forever and that The Hardys still stand because of them, but "Broken" Matt warns The Righteous that they have awakened something more insidious than they have ever realized. Bear Bronson and Brian Myers show up, and Myers calls everything The Righteous and The Hardys are calling "mumbo jumbo" and says the tag titles are the only thing that matters. Bronson says they do not care who their opponents are or what the fans want, and that all he sees are two guys blinded by their own ego who want to take food off their table before daring them to try."Broken" Matt Hardy says that he and Brother Nero will be tag team champions again, then he and Brother Nero knock the other two teams off the ring apron, starting a brawl. The Broken Hardys soon come out on top and pull a ladder out from underneath the ring, and Brother Nero climbs the ladder. The Righteous back off while Bronson and Myers run away.



Before the next match, The Personal Concierge calls Ash by Elegance return to singles competition after 304 days "one of the the most unbelievable returns," then demands that the fans not call her a mark. Indi Hartwell guests on commentary for the next match. As soon as the match begins, however, the fans call Ash a mark, and that causes Ash to lose her mind and force M by Elegance to take her place in the match. While Ash and The Personal Concierge are on their way to the back, Elayna Black shows up to watch from the top of the ramp.

Mara Sadé beats M by Elegance by disqualification after Elayna Black shoves Mara Sadé off the top rope. After the match, Indi Hartwell gets in the ring, and Heather by Elegance jumps on her. Elayna, Heather and M soon go on the attack, then Rosemary and Allie rush into the ring to make the save.



We hear from Eric Young, who says that he attacked Ricky Sosa because he only wanted to show him what was going on and that a viral moment means nothing to him. He says that Sosa has talent, but there is a price to pay to be in a position like his and that Sosa must be taught a lesson. He says he has nothing against Sosa, then says there are levels to this and that Sosa will figure this out at Slammiversary.

AJ Francis beats Manny Lemons. After the match, Elijah shows up on the video screen and says that AJ Francis will never be him and that he will take back everything taken from him and then some at Slammiversary before burning a cease and desist notice. AJ Francis is fuming.



Xia Brookside beats Harley Hudson. After the match, Brookside attacks Hudson again, then Lei Ying Lee heads to the ring and Brookside retreats.



As per the Bioflex Injury Report: Ash by Elegance is out following the mental health issues from earlier. It is then mentioned that the TNA medical staff was rushed into action during tonight's World title summit, and that a lot of competitors will be risking everything at Slammiversary.

In footage from earlier today, Gia Miller, TNA President Carlos Silva, "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth and Mike Santana hold a World Championship summit. Carlos Silva asks that things remain professional so that fines are not levied. Nemeth says that Santana has done it all this year, then says that Santana's great year is about to come to an end. Santana says that Nemeth only sees one good year when he has been fighting his entire life, then says that the TNA World Championship is much bigger than the ring and pro wrestling, and that it is his life. He says that he has been fighting for a moment like this, then says that Nemeth has done it all as well before stating that the difference between them is that when TNA needed a true champion to put it on his back through the dark times, he was there. He mentions Nemeth stating that he was here from TNA only to go on world tours while he ended up being the guy Nemeth was supposed to be, and that he will continue to be the guy. Nemeth says he has always been here for TNA and that being an international superstar is different from having a good year, then says that Santana might just steal the show from him. Nemeth then mentions Santana's family as he says taht Santana will fail one more time. Santana then punches Nemeth out, and Ryan Nemeth attacks from behind. Santana grabs Ryan, and Nic Nemeth attacks Santana and slams him head-first into the front plate of the TNA World Championship before he and Ryan leave.

It is announced that Mike Santana has been taken to a local hospital and that his status for Slammiversary is up in the air.

Moose and JDC - who has not been seen since the show after Genesis - head to the ring. Moose says that there are no pinfalls and submissions and that it will only end when someone throws in the towel. He says that Eddie Edwards destroyed a family and stabbed him and JDC in the back, and says that like Eddie's wife, "payback is a bitch." Eddie and Alisha Edwards show up, and Eddie says that he did not destroy anything, then says that after all the time they spent together, it finally dawned on him that Moose and JDC were like a cancer growing within The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) and making it weak. He says that Moose and JDC kept The System from the next level of greatness and that they tore the cancer out so they could rebuild The System better than before, and at Slammiversary, he will end this once and for all. JDC says he has known Eddie for 25 years - longer than anyone else in the business - and that while he does not take what Eddie did personally, professional wrestling has made Eddie sick in the head and blinded by disease. He says that Eddie will lose everyone in his life, including his wife and daughter, and Alisha interrupts JDC for bringing her daughter up, telling him to bring his wife so she can slap her before saying The System is better without Moose and JDC. She says Moose walks around like a big shot, but deep down inside, he wants revenge on her because she played him like the fool he is and always will be. Alisha then dares Moose to Spear her and get that revenge, but Moose and JDC leave the ring. Alisha says he knew Moose would do that because he is nothing but a pathetic coward, and Moose slides back in the ring and nearly goes for the Spear until JDC stops him. Eddie says this all ends once and for all at Slammiversary, and Alisha says that it is ride and die and she would rather die than throw in the towel. Moose then says that Slammiversary will be a funeral.



We hear from Ricky Sosa, who says that Eric Young not only does not like him because he is different, but because he had a debut unlike anything he has ever seen. He then says he is in TNA to stay, whether he likes it or not, and that he will prove he belongs in TNA.

Frankie Kazarian, Cedric Alexander and Mr. Elegance beat Leon Slater, Fabian Aichner and KC Navarro in a six-man tag match after Kazarian scores a jackknife pin on Leon Slater after Slater hits Mr. Elegance with a top rope Swanton 450.

He then demands he be crowned TNA World Champion. He tells TNA President Carlos Silva to put the TNA World Championship around his waist, then Ryan Nemeth is suddenly tossed out onto the stage by none other than Santana, who throws Ryan down the ramp. Carlos Silva, Daria Rae and Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up with security to prevent a brawl. Santana then punches a few security guards, but Nic Nemeth flees when Santana gets in the ring.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for May 21, 2026

The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric Alexander) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Eddie Edwards calls The System "the most dominant force in TNA history" and calls Cedric's victory from last week a statement, and says that if he were Mike Santana, he would watch his back, as he still has his eyes on the World Championship. Brian Myers says that the champions in The System do not suck, and calls Eddie "the uncrowned TNA World Champion" and a future TNA Hall of Famer for carrying TNA on his back for over a decade, as The System is full of winners. Bear Bronson says that everyone who steps up to them gets taken out, regardless of how good anyone thinks they are or how much the fans believe in them, as The System does not give a damn who believes in them, for the result will always be the same. He says that anyone who steps up to The System will be eaten alive. Cedric Alexander says Leon Slater was just one day away from reaching his dream of becoming a record-breaker, but last week, he became the record taker. He then says that afterwards, somebody decided to ruin the party, and calls out Fabian Aichner so he can say what he has to say to his face. Aichner shows up and says he came to TNA to make a name for himself. He says that he is here for respect, redemption and recognition, and that the bigger the fight, the better the result, for he is a future champion. He tells Cedric to enjoy being champion, for he is here to take his spot. The System rush at Aichner, but he takes them down before fighting Cedric in the ring and nearly choking him out.



Backstage, Daria Rae speaks with Steve Maclin, says that everyone in TNA brags about loyalty, yet as soon as Maclin put his hands on Tom Hannifan, everyone wanted him gone from TNA. She says she saw the situation differently and that everyone fears what Maclin is capable of when he is focused, and that she knows what men built like Maclin are capable of. Daria then tells Maclin that he has the opportunity to rip the heart out of the company, take out Mike Santana and put the TNA World Championship back around the waist of someone who deserves to carry it.

Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Arianna Grace guest on commentary for the next match.

Santino shows up and calls Arianna's words "classless" before stating that Lei Ying Lee deserved the rematch because she beat her, and says the only thing unfinished around here is Arianna's attitude before calling her a brat. He also says that Stacks makes him sick and fills Arianna's head full of garbage, and when Stacks pokes at Santino, Santino pulls out the Cobra only for Daria Rae to show up. Daria says that Santino is picking fights with talent again, says that nobody is scared of the Cobra and calls judo "the weakest of all the martial arts" because she is a real fighter.

Willow hits Vincent with his umbrella, then runs off. Matt Hardy then hits Vincent with the Twist of Fate for the win.

Backstage, Steve Maclin is met by Eric Young. Eric Young says he offered him a real opportunity, yet Maclin turned it down and he got fired before turning into everything he wanted him to be and found his way back. He also says that Mike Santana tried to end Maclin's career and that Maclin disappeared, then says that if he beats Santana, he will face to face him and prove him wrong, for he has proved him right at every turn and is willing to tell him the truth. He says that win or lose, Maclin gets to choose his fate, and says that either he beats Santana and faces him or he loses and disappears again. He says that choices have consequences, and that Maclin is about to make the biggest choice of his life.

He admits Maclin is one of the toughest man in the business and says that he dropped him. He then talks about how his father told him to life as a man of his word, and he walked in and out as World Champion. He then addresses Eddie Edwards, saying that Eddie tried to catch him slipping and it did not work. Santnaa then mentions that Eddie will face him for the TNA World Championship at Rebellion. Eddie Edwards and Cedric Alexander show up, and Eddie notes that Santana sounds confident despite his having pinned Santana last week. He proclaims that he will win the World title at Rebellion and make Rebellion "the night of The System (Eddie, Brian Myers, Bear Bronson, Cedric)." Eddie states that when he becomes a three-time TNA World Champion, The System will run TNA, and Santana tells Eddie that he does not believe his own words and that if he did, he would fight him in the ring right now. Cedric tells Santana to take a breath and take solace in the fact that he will not be the only person losing a championship at Rebellion, then proclaims that he will beat Leon Slater to become X-Division Champion. Leon Slater heads to the ring and tells Cedric that beating him will not be that easy, as he beat him once nearly nine months ago and he can beat him again. Cedric says that was then, and this is now. Cedric says he no longer cares about making the fans happy and that he only cares about The System, who will soon take the World and X-Division titles and will soon have all the gold. Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero) shows up, and Mustafa Ali mentions that so many promises are being thrown around before stating that Rebellion will also be Order 4's night when he becomes the next International Champion. Mustafa Ali then asks the fans to pledge allegiance to him, then Trey Miguel heads to the ring and calls Mustafa a coward after hiding behind the rest of Order 4 at Sacrifice because he knew he could not get the job done. Trey challenges Mustafa to be a real man at Rebellion, then tells him that regardless of his actions, he will not be walking away as International Championship. Mustafa Ali mentions what happened to Jada Stone at Sacrifice, then Santana challengers Order 4 to a multi-man tag match.

She then kicks Santino out of his own office.

In backstage footage from Sacrifice, everyone celebrates Ricky Sosa's signing to TNA. Suddenly, Eric Young shows up and tells Ricky Sosa that he is the gatekeeper and that the hard work starts now.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) head to the ring. Matt Hardy says that Sacrifice was a revelation and a realization, as The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) betrayed them exactly as they predicted they would do. He says they would have been great friends and a great faction and made money under different circumstances. As Matt Hardy describes Dutch's bashing the back of his head against the wall, he almost turns into "Broken" Matt Hardy before stating that The Hardys will snuff The Righteous out. Jeff Hardy says The Righteous made a mistake and that the talk of respect and brotherhood is over, and Matt says that all they will talk about now is apocalyptic consequences. The Righteous show up, and Vincent says they are still a great team as well as family, and insists that what they did was not to them, but for them, and that they removed what was in the way. He says love requires sacrifice, and Dutch states that they do not cling to the kind and gentle. Dutch says that Matt Hardy is stronger than death, and that The Hardys are not a sacrifice, but an offering. Matt Hardy offers to kick The Righteous' asses right now, and Vincent says that the pressure in Matt's chest is not pain or anger, but Matt's old self trying to survive something greater. Vincent says The Hardys are running away from themselves and have something they want, which is not money, not the tag titles, but something forgotten yet still breathing. As Matt Hardy dares The Righteous to get in the ring and fight them right now, Vincent says that is a good idea, but not tonight. He then states the calendar has many ways of aligning, and Matt wants The Hardys vs. The Righteous next week. Dutch loves the idea, but requests that this must be done "Hardy style" and "in the way of extreme." Jeff Hardy likes the idea, and says it will not just be a tag team title match, but also a tag team tables match.



Before the next match, The White Rabbit gets in the way of Victoria Crawford as Victoria heads to the ring with Tessa Blanchard. All of a sudden, Victoria Crawford is nowhere to be seen, and Tessa unknowingly walks to the ring alone.

He then reveals that it was him, saying that he made his debut two years ago in New Orleans, Louisiana by beating Joe Hendry and has beaten everyone's favorites. He says that all Nic Nemeth has done is steal opportunity from him, then says that no matter who it is he has to beat, he is the real show stealer of TNA. He also says that he never wanted to play for the New Orleans Saints because of how the fans are, then Ryan Nemeth shows up and confronts AJ Francis. Francis tells Ryan that he will leave him laying like he did his brother.

The One Man Gang is seen in the crowd.

Arianna Grace retains the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Xia Brookside thanks to constant interference by Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. After the match, Stacks and Arianna are about to gang up on Lei Ying Lee as she checks on Xia Brookside, then Mike Santana shows up and confronts them before hitting Stacks with Spin the Block. Eddie Edwards then shows up in the crowd with a microphone, saying that Santana lets his emotions call the shots and let Stacks and Arianna get in his head when he should be World Champion, and that allowed him to pin Santana twice. He says that Santana's "bruised little ego" is in control and not Santana himself, but Santana says Eddie is talking tough for somebody on the other side of the guardrail and dares Eddie to get in the ring and say those words to him like a man. Eddie teases doing that, but then decides not to, saying he has already beaten Santana once tonight and that he will do it again at Rebellion and walk out as World Champion while Santana is known as the man who could not hold it together on the biggest night of his life. Santana tells Eddie that the only thing that will not hold together will be his face when he stamps it out, and that when he steps into the ring at Rebellion, he is up against the face and standard of TNA for the World Championship.





At the end of the show, Tessa Blanchard finds herself in the Undead Realm, and is introduced to the Undead Realm by none other than Father James Mitchell.

It's time for Fir$t Cla$$ Penthouse. Tonight's guest is Leon Slater. Before Slater heads to the ring, Francis says that Slater is only champion because Rich Swann did not get the job done at Turning Point. Slater heads to the ring, After AJ Francis plugs his new album, Slater takes offense to Francis not thinking much of him as well as his slating of Rich Swann, especially given Swann's accomplishments before AJ Francis showed up. Francis says that if he were in TNA when Swann was world champion, the world title slot would have been reserved for him. Slater then tells Francis that he will smack his hand across Francis' bald head and retain the X Division title.

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.

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.

Je'Von Evans heads to the ring. Je'Von says he thought he had it in the bag at Heatwave and felt that Heatwave was his night to become NXT Champion. He also mentioned that as soon as Oba Femi got a rope break, Oba was able to capitalize and beat him. Je'Von states that he feels he let the fans down, to which the fans chant "We still love you!" All of a sudden, he sees a motorcycle on the TitanTron. The person riding the motorcycle is none other than Josh Briggs, who has an Undertaker gong play before his entrance theme. Briggs says that Je'Von is everything he hates about the NXT locker room and that he is getting all the opportunities he should be getting, and that he should have demanded a rematch from Oba Femi and failed to. He then says that Ricky Starks slipped by and took his opportunities, then says Je'Von wants somebody to motivate him and give him his gold star and that Je'Von will never be good enough to beat Oba Femi.

Lennox says that Osiris was overlooked in the NFL and that Cutler was embarrassed on LFG. Osiris says it took Saquon six years to reach WWE because he was too much of a wild card. Lennox says he was told by Oba Femi that he is not championship material, and Osiris says they had to pay their dues by playing security for bigger stars. Saquon says they have played the game of going from security to Superstar, but Lennox did not want to wait. The four says they are tired of being overlooked and that nobody is safe when they strike.

Trick Williams heads to the ring. Trick says that he stands by what he meant last week and that after last week, either he really is the best in NXT or that nobody cares about NXT anymore, then says he does not blame anyone and that as soon as he moves to the main roster, he will never be seen in NXT again. He says that the fans' favorites do not love the fans back before #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) suddenly show up.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for August 21, 2025

Trick Williams heads to the ring to start tonight's show. He says he feels bad for the fans in Baltimore, Maryland not because their crab cakes are bad or because they will never be as good as the Philadelphia Eagles, but for keeping Moose down in his own hometown much like how Mike Santana was kept down in his own hometown. He also does not care if he has the TNA World Championship upside-down because he turned TNA upside down, set attendance and earnings records and is about to hold two titles at the same time. Santana shows up in the crowd and asks the fans if they are tired of hearing Trick run his mouth, as Trick has pissed off the locker room despite what he has done, then tells Trick that he was not the man that he beat and that regardless of whether it is at TNA or at NXT, he will hunt Trick down, spin that block and become the new TNA World Champion. Trick says Santana does not have what it takes to be TNA World Champion, as he had two opportunities to take the title from him and he could not spin the block, and he will not give him another opportunity. All of a sudden, Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and states that Santana does not deserve a title shot and that the fans want to see it, and makes the match official. Trick says that will not be happening before Santino gets finished, as he has it written that he must defend the title every 50 days. He also says he is doing Santana a favor so that he will not embarrass himself in front of his family again. Santana rushes into the ring and runs Trick out, then dares Trick to get into the ring.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, Jason Hotch, Tasha Steelz). Mustafa Ali says he hates being disrespected, provoked and pushed and makes him want to push back and fight and do something about it, and that Order 4 feels the same way about Matt Cardona and The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC) after they have done the same to him. He says he cannot trust The System and neither can Order 4 and the fans, as he puts his trust only in himself.

Trick Williams runs into AJ Francis, then Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up. Santino says that while he will be looking into the championship clause in his contract, Trick is not exempt from competing, and next week, he and AJ Francis will face Mike Santana and another tag team partner.

Jody Threat beats Killer Kelly, Xia Brookside, Rosemary, Dani Luna, Indi Hartwell in a Knockouts Gauntlet Match to earn a future shot at the TNA Knockouts World Championship ends in a no-contest. During the match, Rosemary briefly attacks Indi on ther way out, and Dani Luna snaps on Indi Hartwell and attacks her when Indi counters her counter of Hurts, Don't It?. When Jody Threat shows up, she is disappointed in Dani Luna's actions, but Dani Luna says "I did this for you. Ring the bell. Do it." When Jody Threat gets in the ring, Dani Luna gets back in the ring with a metal folding chair, and Jody has to stop her. Dani throws the chair down, then punches Jody out and attacks Indi with the chair, causing the match to end and causing Jody Threat to win by disqualification.

Jacy Jayne heads to the ring. Jacy says there is not a woman in the back who has reached her level in success and that some of them could not hold the Knockouts World Championship, much less both the Knockouts and NXT Women's Championship, and that even Director of Authority Santino Marella knew that nobody could beat her one-on-one and put two of TNA's best against her for the Knockouts Championship. She says that TNA has been desperate to take the Knockouts Championship, but when the odds are against her, she thrives. She also says that she has never received a "thank you" for bringing the TNA Knockouts World Championship to NXT, and instead, she gets Masha Slamovich and Ash by Elegance, and that the Knockouts refuse to respect her and instead celebrate mediocrity, and will be hoping that TNA takes the Knockouts title back at Heatwave only for Masha and Ash to come back empty handed. Suddenly, the personal concierge George Iceman shows up and tells Jacy to shut her mouth, and Ash by Elegance shows up calling Jacy Jayne an attention whore, saying everyone should be talking about her and what she has done, which she claims pales in comparison to Jacy being a double champion. Ash says it should be about her and Jacy and not "Masha Slamo-bitch," then Masha shows up and says that everyone is tired of hearing "teen Britney Spears" and "emo Katy Perry" run their mouths and that she will kick both of their asses and take back the Knockouts Wourld Championship. Jacy Jayne holds up both of her title and leaves while Ash and Masha argue.



Backstage, Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) make fun of Mara Sadé's art when Mara and The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) show up.

All of a sudden, JDC shows up with a metal folding chair, then takes out Agent Zero and another Secret Service member before diving into the rest of them to make the save for Moose.

Next week, he will be in the teaming up in Champions' Challenge with people "he could not give two shits about" except Trick Williams. He says Trick does not know a thing about TNA because he is TNA and he is one of the few pillars TNA has left. Maclin warns Trick he will be keeping an eye on him to see if he plays fair, because if he does not and he crosses the line, he will not be afraid to drop him on his head for a KIA. He also warns any potential challengers who want to cross the line to remember who is holding that line.
