Joe Hendry Suffered Rotator Cuff “Injury” at Thursday’s TNA Impact Show

Thursday’s taped TNA Impact! show featured current TNA World Champion Joe Hendry suffering a rotator cuff “injury.”

During Frankie Kazarian’s match against Elijah on the show, Kazarian confronted Hendry at the commentary table resulting in a brief schuffle taking place. Following the match, Hendry ran into the ring and brawled with Kazarian as TNA security ran out trying to break it up. This led to Elijah grabbing Hendry by the arm to pull him away and Hendry clutching his shoulder afterwards.

In a follow-up segment, Hendry was seen backstage being attended to by a doctor who informed him that he injured his shoulder and feared it might be a tear. The doctor told Hendry that he will need to go the hospital for X-rays, which Hendry initially refused to do before relenting.

In another follow-up segment, Gia Miller interviewed the TNA head doctor for a medial update on Hendry. The doctor stated that Hendry suffered a grade three severe sprain on his rotator cuff. The doctor also stated that Hendry’s status for TNA Rebellion 2025 is up in the air at the moment.

Steph De Lander Stripped of TNA Digital Media Title & New International Title to Debut at Unbreakable 2025

Thursday’s taped TNA Impact! show also featured the announcement of Steph De Lander being stripped of the Digital Media Championship and a new TNA International Championship to officially debut at Unbreakable 2025.

During the show, De Lander and Mance Warner came out to the stage and boasted about them being the Digital Media Champions and them being the best couple in all of wrestling. This led to TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella coming out to interrupt. Marella stated that they are not the actual champions since they never earned the title. Marella then demanded for De Lander to hand over the title since she is no longer the champion and stated that at this month’s Unbreakable 2025 event, a tournament will be held to crown the first-ever TNA International Champion.

Marella stated that this tournament will be in tribute to TNA Unbreakable 2005 where AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels took place for the TNA X-Division Championship. Marella stated that in tribute to that match, every match in the tournament will be a three-way match. Marella then demanded to be handed the Digital Media title which led to a tug-o-war between the two that was interrupted by Sami Callihan coming out and attacked Warner. This led to Callihan tossing Warner off the stage onto a table and De Lander dropping the belt to go check on her boyfriend. Callihan then walked way to the back but not before picking up the Digital Media title and handing it to Marella.

In follow-up announcements, two First Round matches were announced for the tournament at Unbreakable 2025.

These matches were:

  • Eddie Edwards vs. Ace Austin vs. Steve Maclin
  • Zachary Wentz vs. JDC vs. Eric Young

Current card for TNA Unbreakable 2025:

“All Ego” Ethan Page Makes Surprise TNA Return at Thursday’s TNA Impact! Show

Thursday’s TNA Impact! show also featured “All Ego” Ethan Page making a surprise return appearance.

During the show, Frankie Kazarian came out to the ring and announced that he officially cashed in his Call Your Shot contract for the TNA World Championship at Rebellion 2025. Before Kazarian could say anything else, Page’s music interrupted and he came out to the ring.

Page talked about him being back in TNA and stated that he had a talk with TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella who granted him a title shot for the TNA World title at Rebellion. This led to an angry reaction by Kazarian and a brawl breaking out that ended with Page sending Kazarian out of the ring.

Following the show, it was announced that Hendry will be defending his TNA World title in a Three-way match against Kazarian and Page at Rebellion.

This was Page’s first appearance in TNA since TNA/Impact’s Hard To Kill 2021 event in January of 2021.
