Video: Last Week’s Show Recap

After the recap package for last week’s show and special live version of the “Cross the line” intro, we see a shot of Full Sail University, as Tom Hannifan welcomes us to the show alongside Matthew Rehwoldt.

In-Ring: Joe Hendry, The Colons, Elijah, Santino Marella

Already in the ring is Joe Hendry, seated with a guitar in his lap and fans chanting “We believe!”

Hendry says it’s been a busy couple of months for him, and he knows that everyone wants to know what is next for him and the TNA World Championship. He reiterates his willingness to defend the title against anyone from any company. He said he wrote a song about it. “Like to hear it, here it goes!”

He mentions Sheamus not believing his eyes, and his favorite moment being beating up The Miz. He has lines about it being hard to be humble when he was in the Royal Rumble. He mentions Roman Reigns throwing him out, and makes a reference about John Cena and his willingness to defend his title against him.

While wrapping up his first song of the encore concert, he is cut off by The Colons. The duo make their way to the ring introducing themselves to the TNA audience. They say this isn’t a popularity contest for them. They are serious wrestlers and violent people. Fans chant “Where’s Carlito?” at them.

As they go to rush the ring for an attack, the lights go out and we hear the familiar guitar strum. A spotlight shines on the entrance and out comes Elijah, formerly known as Elias, with a guitar over his shoulder. Fans chant “Holy sh*t!” He sings about joining TNA tonight.

“If you wanna walk with me, or you believe in Joe Hendry … you’re in luck!” Fans chant-sing “Oh walk with Elijah” to the White Stripes melody, and Elijah starts playing that riff impromptu. Fans react with a loud “This is Awesome!” chant.

He mentions having a Colon-clog going on and says it could use a Colon-cleanse. He asks Joe if he’s got his guitar ready. As he enters the ring, he is cut off by the theme for TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella. He mentions not one, but two big surprises to start off the night.

Santino says allow him to make surprise number three. Tonight in the main event it will be Joe Hendry and Elijah vs. The Colons. “And it’s gonna smell fantastic!” Elijah says there’s no reason they can’t have a little concert right now. They sing one quick chorus and the opener wraps up there.

Backstage: Leon Slater

Gia Miller has a quick word with Leon Slater backstage to promote his No DQ showdown against JDC, the show heads to a quick commercial break.

Backstage: The Colons

When the show returns, Miller talks briefly with The Colons, who reiterate their arrival to the scene in TNA Wrestling.

Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe vs. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)

Inside the Impact Zone, the NXT trio of Tyriek Igwe, Tyson Dupont and Wes Lee make their way to the ring, as Tyriek and Tyson will be in action in the opening tag-team contest. Their opposition, The Rascalz duo of Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz, make their way out accompanied by Ace Austin.

The Rascalz hit a double dive to get things started with a bang. The bell sounds and the match gets officially underway. From there, it isn’t long at all before Tyriek and Tyson completely take over and settle into the early dominant offensive lead.

Wentz starts to rally for The Rascalz, shifting the offensive momentum into his team’s favor. He hits a running shooting star for a close two-count on Igwe. Miguel tags in and picks up where Wentz left off. Wes Lee slides in for a distraction, which brings Austin over to keep things even.

The Rascalz hit a double super kick but then Tyson and Tyriek tag and hit a double-team power spot on Miguel. Wentz knocks Dupont out to the floor and hits a turning splash over the ropes. Wentz comes off the top-rope with a Meteora.

Wentz follows up with a Swanton Bomb off the top. Miguel makes the cover and picks up the win for The Rascalz.

Winner: The Rascalz via Pinfall.

Wes Lee gets on the microphone and issues a challenge for a six-man tag-team showdown with Austin and The Rascalz against he, Tyson and Tyriek at TNA Sacrifice 2025. The show heads into another commercial break.

On Stage: FIR$T CLA$$

Season premiere of the First Class Penthouse. AJ Francis reintroduces himself as the host of the show. He then introduces “The Blessed One” KC Navarro. Behind them are a bunch of goons and ladies. Gabby from the GabbyAF podcast. The Mafiosa Valentina and The Miami 305 Street Racing Dream Girl Carolina are also with them.

He then introduces 21-time platinum producer Reazy Renegade. They play some video to explain who he is. They introduce some Orlando rapper with millions of streams. They show a TikTok video to show who he is. No response. “These guys are losers, they don’t know anything but wrestling,” Francis says. He then introduces Noelle Foley. Yes, that Noelle Foley.

Francis asks everyone to pull their phones out and go live in case TNA cuts the feed for what he’s about to say next. He talks about the lack of opportunities for the tag-team titles. He says TNA management tried to passify him by giving him his own Piper’s Pit. He says frankly, it worked. He’s loving this. He says he liked Roddy Piper so much, he hated Hulk Hogan before it was cool.

He says just like Piper didn’t get credit for Hulkamania, he doesn’t get credit for creating Hendry-mania. He talks about going to Reality of Wrestling to help Booker T with his Zilla Fatu and drawing millions of views. He doesn’t understand why he gets no respect. He introduces his special guest on this first episode.

He calls him the legend of TNA. “Some say he’s phenomenal. He has a lot of style….the one and only, A-J…Francis!” The crowd boos. He fumbles his line while trying to make a comparison to AJ leaving TNA to make money in WWE, while he left WWE to make money and save TNA. First Class says their catchphrase and mercifully, this is over.

Rosemary vs. Lie Ying Lee

Rosemary’s theme hits after a TNA Unbreakable ad plays, and the aforementioned six-man tag-team match is confirmed for TNA Sacrifice 2025. As she makes her way to the ring, Hannifan does a live ad read for BLCKSMTH.

Lei Ying Lee makes her way out next, and then the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. After some initial back-and-forth action, Rosemary takes over after hitting a big inverted DDT. Ying Lee fights back and hits an airplane spin for a two-count of her own.

From there, Rosemary tries to fight back from underneath, looking for her finisher. Ying Lee stops it, however, and counters with her own Thunderstruck finisher for the win.

Winner: Lei Ying Lee via Pinfall.

After the match, as Ying Lee was leaving, Rosemary caught up with her and sprayed the mist in her eyes.

Backstage: Sami Callihan, Mance Warner, Steph De Lander

Backstage, we see Sami Callihan telling his cameraman to turn the camera on. He welcomes us to a special edition of Death Machine TV, and mentions being on the hunt for Mance Warner.

He catches up with him backstage and they begin brawling. He grabs the camera and hits Warner with it. The feed cuts out and the show heads into another commercial break.

Backstage: Lei Ying Lee, Tessa Blanchard

Backstage, a medic is tending to Lei Ying Lee’s eye issues following the mist from Rosemary, when Tessa Blanchard walks up and says she needs the doctor to ignore her and help her instead.

The doctor makes it clear he’s tending to Lei, but Tessa isn’t having it. She insists he ignore the mid-card talent and tend to her instead. This goes on for a minute or so and ends without any real anything.

On Stage: The Northern Armory

Inside the Impact Zone, Eric Young’s theme hits and out he comes with The Northern Armory duo of Judas Icarus and Travis Williams. He talks about how they did last week what they said they were going to, and sent Josh Alexander packing.

Young says Alexander started The Northern Armory, but he was too weak to hold onto it, so he took it from him. He says Judas and Travis were pawns, boys under him. Under Young’s leadership, they will become champions and they will stand next to Young at the top of TNA.

As he continues, the fans decide to loudly give him the never-ending “What?!” treatment. He says you can claim to be whatever you want, but Eric Young is the foundation of TNA. He is the life blood of TNA. He is the gatekeeper of TNA. He is the one.

He says there is one man missing. One man who should be standing next to him. That man is Steve Maclin. He tells Maclin to come out here. Nothing happens. Young says he understands. He says Maclin has a hard time trusting people. He says Maclin trusts him.

He looked into his soul and spoke to him, and it spoke back. He says they are brothers and family. They are past that. He says Maclin knew about Alexander. He warned him about Alexander. He says maybe he did it for him, or maybe he did it for Maclin.

This business isn’t right or wrong. It’s not black or white. It’s red. Red blood. Red. His theme hits again to end the promo segment.

Video: Mike Santana, Mustafa Ali, The Great Hands, Tasha Steelz

When the show returns, we shoot to what appears to be an A.A. meeting or N.A. meeting, which we see Mike Santana sitting at along with a bunch of other nameless faces in a circle “sharing,” when in walks Mustafa Ali.

Ali takes a seat and goes on to give a big speech about how everyone in the room conquered their addictions. After he wraps up, everyone claps. He leans into Santana’s ear and whispers, “Things can change Mike, but people like you don’t.”

Video: Moose in WWE NXT

Hannifan and Rehwoldt are shown on-camera. They set up and show footage of Moose’s debut on WWE NXT earlier this week. They plug his match against Lexis King on the upcoming episode of NXT on CW From Cincinnati, OH.

No DQ Match
JDC vs. Leon Slater

Inside the Impact Zone, the theme for JDC hits and out comes The System member for scheduled No Disqualification action. He settles inside the squared circle to boos from the fans at Full Sail University.

McKenzie Mitchell then introduces his opponent, rising youngster Leon Slater. Slater comes out wearing arm bands and other tributes to The Hardys, which Hannifan points out on the broadcast. The bell sounds and this one gets underway.

Slater jumps into the early offensive lead, blasting JDC twice with a foreign object. He pulls out a table and sets it up. Slater heads back into the ring and hits his trademark running leap over the ring post splash to the floor. Fans react with a huge pop and subsequent “TNA! TNA!” chant.

He then walks into a big kick from JDC on the floor. JDC unfolds a steel chair and hits an inverted suplex to Slater, stomach-first over the top part of the chair. As Slater writhes in pain on the floor, JDC picks him up and rolls him into the ring for a two-count.

As JDC settles into a comfortable prolonged offensive lead, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, we see the two fight back-and-forth with kendo stick shots. Slater takes over and lays JDC on the table on the floor. He heads to the top-rope and hits a 450 Swanton that puts JDC through the table.

He pulls JDC into the ring for the cover, but Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers from The System yank Slater out and double chokeslam him through another table on the floor. They roll him back into the ring and JDC covers him for the win.

Winner: JDC via Pinfall.

Once the match ends, Moose joins The System gang in the ring and it looks like a post-match beatdown is about to begin, when out of nowhere, the iconic sounds of The Hardys theme hits.

Out comes Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy to the ring. They settle inside the ring and then Oba Femi’s theme hits. The WWE NXT World Champion joins The Hardys and Slater in the ring as The System backs off. The show heads into another commercial break.

Backstage: The System, Santino Marella

When the show returns, The System are complaining to Santino Marella backstage. Marella announces Moose, Edwards and Myers against Femi and The Hardys.

On Stage: Tessa Blanchard, Santino Marella, Masha Slamovich

Inside the Impact Zone, Tessa Blanchard makes her way out in street clothes with a microphone in-hand. She mentions her interaction with the doctor earlier and says she has not been cleared to wrestle. The crowd gets on her case. She says they all follow her on social media so sit down and shut up.

As she continues talking, she is cut off by TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella, who comes out and is upset. He tells Tessa he didn’t think she could be a bigger weasel, but then proved him wrong. He says if Tessa doesn’t wrestle next week for any reason, she is fired.

Masha Slamovich vs. Mila Moore

In the ring is the scheduled opponent for Tessa, Mila Moore. Out comes TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich, who offers to step up and take Tessa’s fight. She heads to the ring and the bell sounds.

She walks into a big kick from Moore, but quickly brushes it off, hits her finisher and wins in seconds.

Winner: Masha Slamovich via Pinfall.

She stares down Tessa on the entrance stage afterwards. Cora Jade sneak attacks Masha from behind. Tessa is shown laughing while watching. The show heads into another commercial break.

Backstage: Santino Marella, Arianna Grace, Personal Consignee, Heather & Ash By Elegance, Spitfire

When the show returns, Santino Marella and Arianna Grace are backstage. They announce Cora Jade vs. Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts Championship at TNA Sacrifice.

They also announce Spitfire vs. Ash & Heather by Elegance for the TNA Knockouts Tag-Team Championships, and a special concierge stipulation.

On Stage: Ryan Nemeth

It’s main event time!

But first, as Hannifan and Rehwoldt were about to announce the matches for next week’s show, they are cut off by Ryan Nemeth, who comes out talking about his big brother returning in 22 days at TNA Sacrifice. That’s his entire message. Off he goes.

The Colons (Eddie & Orlando Colon) vs. Elijah & Joe Hendry

After that, McKenzie Mitchell introduces the first team in the scheduled tag-team main event of the evening. The Colons make their way out and settle inside the squared circle to another loud “Where’s Carlito?!”chant.

Elijah makes his way out next for the opposition. After that, the viral smash hit “I Believe in Joe Hendry” hits as the TNA World Champion emerges to a huge pop and positive chants from the Full Sail crowd. The bell sounds and it is Colon and Hendry kicking things off.

Elijah tags in and the fans explode again. “Oh, walk with Elijah” sing-chants break out and spread throughout Full Sail as the former WWE Superstar stalks Colon. Colon drills him with two punches but then walks into a leaping clothesline from Elijah.

He does Undertaker’s “old school” spot on the top-rope, clobbering Colon with a forearm across the back on the way down. He tags Hendry back in, and Hendry picks up where he left off. Fans are loudly chanting “We believe! We believe!” as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, Hendry is controlling the action until The Colons stop him dead in his tracks and take over. Eddie tags in and settles into a comfortable offensive lead, controlling Hendry on the mat as fans try and rally behind him inside Full Sail University.

Hendry starts Hulk’ing up and no-selling the offense from Colon, before fighting back and taking over. He tags in Elijah. Elijah takes the hot tag and hits the ring with a ton of energy as the crowd comes to life. He hits a big spinebuster as fans sing “Oh, walk with Elijah” again. Elijah hits a piledriver for the win.

Winner: Elijah & Joe Hendry via Pinfall.

The two celebrate as Hannifan takes the show off the air.
