Last Week’s Show Rundown

A video aired recapping the action from last week’s show.

Frankie Kazarian vs. Elijah

The theme for Joe Hendry kicked things off, as the TNA World Champion heads down to the ringside area to join Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt on special guest commentary for the first match of the show.

Frankie Kazarian’s entrance tune hits and the self-proclaimed “King of TNA” heads to the ring with his massive Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy in-hand. He settles inside, his music dies down, and the lights go down.

Elijah’s theme hits and out he comes with his trademark guitar over his shoulder. After he gets in the ring, the bell sounds and the first match of the show gets underway. Kazarian hits Elijah with a cheap-shot, but Elijah fights back and does Undertaker’s top-rope-walking “Old-School” spot.

Elijah looked to follow up with his signature piledriver, but Kazarian had it well-scouted and pumped the breaks. Kazarian slides out to the floor, but Elijah comes out after him. Kazarian ends up sending him face-first into the steel ring post.

Kazarian comes over and taunts Hendry, even slapping his headset nearly off his head. Hendry stands up and gets in his face. Hendry gets shoved into Elijah. Back in the ring seconds later, Kazarian rolls Elijah up and gets a handful of jeans to score the cheap pin.

Winner: Frankie Kazarian via Pinfall.

After the bell sounds to end the match, Hendry hits the ring like a madman and tackles Kazarian down to the mat. He ground-and-pounds away until a ton of security guards hit the ring and break them up. They get free and the fight is on again. Elijah breaks it up.

Backstage: Joe Hendry

When the show returned, Hendry was being checked by a TNA medic backstage about a potential arm injury. The medic, fearing a tear, insisted that Hendry go to get X-rays.

In-Ring: Eddie Edwards, The System, Cody Deaner

Back inside the Impact Zone, Hannifan sets the stage on commentary for the next segment after showing video footage of Eddie Edwards talking to each member of The System last week. In the ring, Edwards brings it up himself and then tells every member of The System to come out.

The System theme hits and out comes Eddie’s wife, Alisha Edwards, as well as his tag-team partner Brian Myers, and fellow members Moose and JDC. He starts with JDC, saying he has known him longer than anyone, including his wife.

Edwards says he knows JDC is sick of losing. He wants him to tell him to his face if he’s in or out. JDC tells the fans to shut up and insists he’s in. The two hug. Edwards gives JDC his System ring. He moves on to his partner, Myers. He asks him the same. “Let’s finish what we started … I’m in!” he responds.

Eddie Edwards then moves on to his wife. He says he knows she doesn’t want to hang around losers. He asks her the same. She responds, as always, “Do you wanna know something?” She follows up, “I love you, I’m in.”

Last, but not least, Edwards approaches TNA X-Division Champion Moose in the corner. Fans start chanting Moose’s name. He asks if he’s in or not. Before Moose can respond, the theme for Cody Deaner interrupts them.

He says he’s been waiting all week to see someone get fired. He tries luring Moose into letting the fans decide, hoping he’ll leave The System, but in the end, gets beat down by all of them and left laying.

Backstage: Xia Brookside, Lei Ying Lee, Masha Slamovich

Backstage, Xia Brookside, Lei Ying Lee and TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich are with Gia Miller. They preview tonight’s match against Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jane and Jazmyn Nyx. The show heads to another commercial break.

Spitfire (Jody Threat & Dani Luna) vs. Meta-Four (Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend)

Inside the Impact Zone, Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna make their way to the ring, as do their opponents, Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, the latter of whom receive loud “NXT! NXT!” chants from the fans in attendance.

In the early goings, the NXT duo overpower the former TNA Knockouts Champions. Threat ends up isolated in the ring for a prolonged period of time, with Jackson and Legend tagging in and out frequently to keep a fresh person on her at all times.

Threat starts fighting back, hitting Legend and Jackson over-and-over again by herself. Legend goes for a big shot but accidentally blasts Jackson and lays her out. Threat catches Legend with a big boot in the corner, but then leaps into Legend’s arms. Legend and Jackson hit the MKO for the win.

Winner: Meta-Four via Pinfall.

Backstage: Mike Santana, Derek, Santino Marella

Backstage, Mike Santana introduces Derek to TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella and walks off. Santino tells Derek he’ll show him around. Hannifan and Rehwoldt promote Santino’s “groundbreaking announcement” for later, and the show heads into another commercial break.

In-Ring: The Hardys, The Great Hands, Tasha Steelz, Santino Marella

When the show returns, the iconic theme for The Hardys plays and out comes TNA World Tag-Team Champions Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy. Matt starts, addressing the attack he endured at the hands of Nic Nemeth. He shows a scar he suffered that scared his children and vows revenge.

Hardy even does some soft teases for a BROKEN Matt Hardy return with references to “BROKEN” and “DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!” Jeff Hardy laughs off The Nemeths’ claim of being the best brother duo in wrestling history.

The Hardys end up getting interrupted by The Great Hands duo of John Skyler and Jason Hotch, who come out to the ring with Tasha Steelz. After the two teams have words, Santino Marella comes out and makes a match between them.

The show heads to a commercial break, with the impromptu tag bout waiting on the other side.

The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy) vs. The Great Hands (John Sklyer & Jason Hotch)

When the show returns, the bell sounds to start off the non-title bout. Steelz is on commentary with Hannifan and Rehwoldt. Matt starts off for his team and jumps into an early offensive lead.

After some more back-and-forth action, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, after enjoying a few minutes in the offensive lead, The Great Hands find themselves back on the defensive after Jeff gets the hot tag, which leads to The Hardys scoring the pin.

Winner: The Hardys via Pinfall.

Backstage: Ryan Nemeth, Leon Slater

Backstage, Ryan Nemeth is getting under the skin of Leon Slater. This leads to some physicality, which several rush to the scene to break-up before it gets too far out of hand. Santino Marella enters the picture and makes a match between the two for next week.

Video: Joe Hendry

The show heads to another commercial break on that note. When it returns, Gia Miler is backstage with the TNA lead doctor, who gives a medical update on the injury status of TNA World Champion Joe Hendry.

The doctor reveals that Hendry suffered a grade three severe sprain on his rotator cuff, which they mention is a bad injury. When asked about his status for TNA Rebellion 2025, it’s stated that it’s up in the air, while pointing out that Hendry is the champion and as tough as anyone who could fight through it.

On Stage: Mance Warner, Steph De Lander, Santino Marella, Sami Callihan

Back inside the Impact Zone, TNA Digital Media Champion(s) Mance Warner and Steph De Lander make their way out to the top of the stage. They boast about being the champion(s) and talk about how in love they are, while also bragging about being on magazine covers.

Santino Marella’s theme cuts them off. He tells them they’ve never earned the TNA Digital Media Championship. He says he is taking the title. At TNA Unbreakable 2025, a tournament will be held to crown the first-ever TNA International Champion.

He says the tournament is a tribute to TNA Unbreakable 2005, where AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels took place for the TNA X-Division Championship. As a tribute to it, every match in the tournament will be a three-way match.

As Santino demands Warner and De Lander to hand over the TNA Digital Media Championship, as they are refusing to do so, out of nowhere Warner is attacked behind with a baseball bat by Sami Callihan. Callihan then launches Warner off the stage and through a table.

He then picks up the TNA Digital Media Championship and hands it to Santino. He walks off as Hannifan drives home the significance of the groundbreaking announcement regarding the TNA International Championship.

Backstage: The Cabinet, Derek, Mustafa Ali

The show heads to another commercial break after Derek is told Mustafa Ali wants a word with him. When the show returns, Ali talks to Derek about being an addict as a way of getting to Mike Santana once again.

The bell sounds and things get officially off-and-running with Slamovich and Blanchard representing their respective teams. Slamovich runs wild on Blanchard, Hulkamania-style, straight out of the gate. As the action spills to the floor, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break.

When the show returns, the match continues in progress, as we see Rosemary watching on from in the middle of the crowd. All hell breaks loose with all six in the ring, culminating with Slamovich about to hit her finisher, only for Blanchard to strike from behind. Blanchard connected with her Buzzsaw finisher for the win.
