Elijah defeated Brian Myers
The recap package for last week’s show airs to get things started, and then the “Cross The Line” intro video and theme plays. Inside the Impact Zone, Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us to this week’s edition of TNA Impact.
Elijah’s theme hits and out comes the newest addition to the men’s roster in TNA for scheduled opening action. He settles inside the squared circle and his music dies down. We then hear “Trust The System!” and the theme for Brian Myers hits. Out he comes accompanied by Alisha Edwards.
As soon as the bell sounds, Elijah charges across the ring and blasts Myers with a big shot that decks The System member. Myers tries rolling to the floor and calling a timeout as Elijah rolls out after him. Instead, Elijah blasts him with a big chop in front of Alisha.
He puts Myers on the ring apron and drapes his head over the edge of the apron. From the floor, he picks his head up and slams it down on the corner of the apron. And again. He backs up, runs and leaps, blasting Myers with a hip-attack similar to Roman Reigns’ “Drive By” spot.
Back inside the ring, Myers begins to shift the offensive momentum into his favor. This doesn’t last for long, however, as Elijah takes back over and eventually hits his finisher for the pinfall victory. After the match, The System hits the ring to attack Elijah.
Joe Hendry’s theme hits and out comes the TNA World Champion to make the save, running off The System. Hendry and Elijah stand tall in the ring staring down The System as they head up the entrance ramp to wrap up the eventful post-match scene.
Gia Miller Interviews Ace Austin & The Rascalz
Backstage, Gia Miller is standing by with her guests at this time, Ace Austin and The Rascalz duo of Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz. Austin says he knows they are still unsure how much they can trust each other heading into TNA Sacrifice 2025.
He says they practically grew up in the business together and references some past interactions and instances that proves they can trust each other. The Rascalz vow to beat down Wes Lee and his wannabe Rascalz duo of Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe.
“Smoke ’em if you got ’em!” ends the brief backstage interview segment. The show heads to the first commercial break of the evening.
First Class Penthouse with AJ Francis & KC Navarro
When the show returns, First Class duo AJ Francis and KC Navarro make their way out for the second installment of their new talk show segment, First Class Penthouse. Francis says the streets are still talking about the debut edition of First Class Penthouse.
Francis says they have a special guest tonight. “The Prize Fighter KO!” He then reveals it was a joke and that he was referring to KC Navarro. K-N-O. For KC N-avarr-O. Out comes Steve Maclin out of nowhere, who hits what will no doubt be the line of the evening, as he calls AJ Francis “The Temu Suge Knight.”
Francis asks if people want to see the two of them fight tonight. Francis says give him 30 minutes to get his gear on and then he’s gonna kick Maclin’s ass. Maclin tells him, “Take your 30 minutes, big boy!”
Savannah Evans defeated Xia Brookside
Back to the ring for the second match of the evening, which will be one-on-one action contested in the TNA Knockouts division. Savannah Evans makes her way to the ring first and settles inside. The “American Pie” soundtrack-sounding entrance tune for her opposition hits, and out comes the bubbly Xia Brookside.
The bell sounds and the match gets officially off-and-running. The much larger Evans immediately charges across the ring in a hurry, looking to bum-rush Brookside and attack her while she was off-guard. Instead, Brookside, seemingly with a sixth-sense, noticed Evans coming and side-stepped her.
Brookside gets the early offensive jump on Evans, taking it to her much larger foe as the fans inside the Impact Zone cheer her on. Rosemary is shown watching on from the rafters. Evans ends up cutting Brookside’s offensive run short and taking over, slowing the pace down.
Evans makes one misstep, and Brookside capitalizes, securing a tarantula-style submission while hanging off the body of her opponent. Brookside hits a big move coming off the ropes for a close two-count, but then Evans started to come to life. She launched Brookside into the corner but missed a follow-up splash.
She goes for a running knee drop on Brookside on the mat, but Brookside rolls out of the way just in time. Brookside, distracted while dealing with a potential injury, gets blasted from behind by Evans with one stiff shot that turns her inside-out. Evans quickly follows up with the pin fall for the win. The show heads into another commercial break.
Mike Santana defeated John Skyler (w/ Jason Hotch)
When the show returns, a digital segment airs showing Ash and Heather by Elegance being given a rude awakening by Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna. They dress them up like goth girls in their style and give them chores to do as their personal concierges.
After the video package wraps up, the show returns inside the Impact Zone, where John Skyler of the rebranded Great Hands duo with Jason Hotch makes his way to the ring cutting a promo about Mike Santana being “street trash.” Sounds familiar.
The hip-hop theme for Santana hits and out comes the fan-favorite for one-on-one action against Skyler in the next match of the evening. Santana enters the ring and the bell sounds to get things started.
Skyler gets the early jump on Santana, but fans chant his name and he fires up and begins taking over, running over Skyler with repeated clotheslines and then hitting a Three Amigos suplex sequence in an homage to Eddie Guerrero.
This gives Hannifan a good chance to plug TNA Sacrifice in El Paso, TX, where the Guerrero name is legendary. He mentions Chavo Guerrero Jr. will be there. Literally seconds later, Santana finishes off Skyler for a very quick and easy victory.
Once the match wraps up, Hotch tries attacking Santana from behind, but he avoids it and takes out The Great Hands member with his Spin The Block finisher. Santana notices the hammer that Hotch was about to use as a weapon on him. Fans chant for him to use it.
As he contemplates doing exactly that, he notices Mustafa Ali on the big screen with Tasha Steelz by his side. He calls Santana an animal and mentions how TNA is, as it should be, a safe working environment. He says it’s time for Santana to submit to a random urine screening.
Out comes someone in a suit with a cup and a lid, which he hands to Santana, presumably to “provide his sample.” Santana takes it and shakes his head. “This dude’s got me bugging, bro,” he says off-mic to end the post-match scene. The show heads to another commercial break.
AJ Francis (w/ KC Navarro) defeated Steve Maclin
When the show returns, the First Class entrance tune hits and out comes AJ Francis, accompanied by KC Navarro. The duo head to the ring together, where Francis is scheduled for one-on-one action in a match that was set up during the First Class Penthouse segment earlier in the show.
The familiar sounds of Steve Maclin’s theme song hits next and out comes the “Bulletproof” one himself. The bell sounds to get things started. Maclin takes the early offensive lead. The crowd is strongly behind him as he works over the First Class leader.
Francis ends up killing Maclin’s early momentum, stifling a big spot he tried in the corner. From there, Francis completely takes over on offense. He hits running knees to a seated Maclin on his way out to the floor, where he stands alongside Navarro and does their chant. “Money! Money! Money!”
Back in the ring, Francis eats a shot from Maclin. Maclin hangs Francis upside down in the tree of woe in the corner. He runs over and knocks Navarro off the apron when he tries interfering, and then runs and spears an upside down Francis. He looks for the K.I.A., but Francis avoids it and takes over.
Francis has Maclin by the throat when out of the blue, The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus run out and hop on opposing sides of the ring apron. Francis capitalizes on the distraction and lays out Maclin.
The commentators bring up how The Northern Armory clearly seemed to be trying to help Maclin. Eric Young appears at ringside. Maclin comes out and tells Young he doesn’t need or want their help. He heads back into the ring, where Francis hits his Down Payment chokeslam finisher for the win.
Ryan Nemeth In Tears Over Nic Nemeth, Matt Hardy Face Time Call
The digital exclusive segment with Matt Hardy, Joe Hendry and Elijah discussing the members for their team in the scheduled ten-man tag-team match against The System and The Colons at TNA Sacrifice 2025 airs.
Ryan Nemeth wants on Hendry’s team. Hardy doesn’t. He calls Nic Nemeth, who pushes for his bro, but ultimately accepts that no one likes him. Nic tells Hardy to just please let him be the one to break the news to his brother.
Hardy tells him his brother has been listening. The others notice Ryan Nemeth fighting back tears. They ask if he’s going to cry. Ryan storms off in an emotional huff. The show heads to another commercial break.
Steve Maclin Confronts Eric Young & The Northern Armory
When the show returns, Steve Maclin catches up with Eric Young and The Northern Armory backstage and confronts them over them essentially costing him his match against AJ Francis.
Young tells him they did it for his own good, and had he not gotten distracted, it would have worked out. Maclin tells Young he trusts him, “but not this,” while pointing to The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus. Young tells Maclin to “open your eyes and let the truth guide you.”
Maclin goes to walk off, but bumps into Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian, who looks like he borrowed an outfit from Seth “Freakin'” Rollins closet, is holding his Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy and taunting Maclin, who gives him one fair warning before walking off.
Fraxiom Sends A Message To The Hardy Boyz
Footage is shown of TNA World Tag-Team Champions The Hardy Boyz and WWE NXT World Tag-Team Champions Fraxiom having a showdown in the ring earlier this week on WWE NXT to promote their title tilt at WWE NXT Roadblock 2025.
When it wraps up, a backstage segment with Fraxiom airs. Nathan Frazer and Axiom talk about their upcoming title tilt with The Hardy Boyz and make it clear they will be keeping a close eye on their match later in tonight’s show against The Colons.
Oba Femi, Moose Go Face-To-Face Ahead Of WWE Roadblock 2025
The WWE digital exclusive video airs showing TNA X-Division Champion Moose of The System talking about his showdown against WWE NXT World Champion Oba Femi at WWE NXT Roadblock 2025. Moose vows to leave with the WWE NXT title and become the face of the franchise.
Back live inside the Impact Zone, the familiar sounds of Oba Femi’s theme hits and out he comes, with the crowd doing his entrance chant routine. He settles inside the squared circle for his advertised face-to-face meeting with Moose.
The System theme hits and out comes Moose and his goons. He stops and motions to someone in the back. On that note, a bunch of security make their way out and accompany him to the ring.
Inside the ring, Oba Femi and Moose each tell the story of how they first heard about the other, while vowing to be the one to take out the other and prove they are the true dominant Nigerian force in the pro wrestling business.
The two end up in a wild brawl, where it is revealed that the “security” Moose brought with him were just paid goons in street clothes. They all jump Femi when it first appeared they were just trying to separate the two. Regardless, Femi ends up firing up and clearing house in an impressive sight.
Eric Young & The Northern Armory (Travis Williams & Judas Icarus) defeated Ace Austin & The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)
Back inside the Impact Zone, the familiar sounds of Eric Young’s entrance tune hits the house speakers. Out comes the TNA Wrestling veteran along with his partners for this scheduled six-man tag-team contest, The Northern Armory duo of Travis Williams and Judas Icarus.
The ABC theme song for their opposition hits and out comes Ace Austin. The Rascalz’ music plays after that and the team of Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel head to the ring to a strong reaction from the fans inside Full Sail University.
After the bell sounds, things get started with a bang in this one. Things settle into Young and The Northern Armory in a comfortable offensive lead as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, Wentz is isolated in the ring and being beaten down.
The crowd rallies behind Wentz, who eventually fires up and takes over, shifting the offensive momentum into his team’s favor. He tags in Miguel, who picks up where he left off. Wes Lee makes his way out. Wentz hits a big dive to take him out, but the distraction sets Young up for the piledriver for the win.
Mike Santana Approaches Santino Marella Backstage
Backstage, Mike Santana is holding his pee cup when he approaches TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella. He brings up all that he’s been through to get clean, including his meetings that the company has shown on TNA Impact, etc.
He asks if this pee test is really what they’re going to do to him. Santino says Mustafa Ali went above his head to the Anthem management. “I’ve got a boss, too,” Marella tells him. He says to just do it, prove him wrong, and get this whole thing behind him. Santino walks off.
Santana overhears Tasha Steelz scolding some regular Joe for not bringing the right kind of coffee for Ali. She tells him the correct kind and sends him off to get it. Santana stops him and tells him not to let anyone talk to him like that.
He then takes the cup and says he’ll handle it for him. He heads into the bathroom with Ali’s coffee cup as the show heads to another commercial break.
TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich Addresses Cora Jade
When the show returns, a second digital style segment airs showing the latest update of Spitfire duo Jody Threat and Dani Luna forcing their personal concierges, Ash and Heather by Elegance, to do tasks.
This time they are shown in the gym. When they leave, there is an incident with a janitor, who ends up being George Iceman in disguise. He tells Ash and Heather, who laid out Spitfire, “It’s me! Let’s get out of here!”
Inside the Impact Zone, reigning TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich makes her way down to the ring. She gets on the microphone and addresses Cora Jade. She tells the WWE NXT Superstar when she steps into the ring with her at TNA Sacrifice, it’s not going to be a match, but a fight.
She says it’s a fight she’s not going to walk out of, because Slamovich is built different. Cora Jade’s theme hits and out she comes with a microphone in-hand. She tells Slamovich all she hears is someone who knows their title reign is coming to an end.
Slamovich tells Jade she’s gonna expose her as someone who is not a real fighter. After she does, as Slamovich is staring down Jade at ringside from inside the ring, she is attacked from behind by Tessa Blanchard. Jade enters the ring to help out.
As Blanchard and Jade are beating down Slamovich in two-on-one fashion, the theme for Lei Ying Lee hits. Out to the ring comes Blanchard’s scheduled opponent for TNA Sacrifice 2025. She makes the save for Slamovich and runs off Jade and Blanchard.
Mustafa Ali’s Day Just Got Worse
Backstage, Mustafa Ali sees Tasha Steelz and asks her for an update. She tells him the coffee was delivered, but wasn’t right, so she sent the guy back out to get it. He says he doesn’t care about that and asks about Mike Santana’s drug test.
Steelz says she just spoke with Santino and unfortunately, Santana’s drug test came back negative, so he passed it. Ali is upset and says they’ve got to find a way to get him to take another drug test or something.
She hands him his coffee and after he takes a sip, he clearly knows what he just drank, so he rushes Steelz away to avoid further embarrassment. On that note, the show heads into another commercial break.
The Hardy Boyz defeated The Colons via Disqualification
It’s main event time!
But first, Hannifan and Rehwoldt introduce a quick video that runs down the advertised lineup for next week’s TNA Sacrifice 2025 “go-home” show (see below). Ryan Nemeth then comes out and announces that his big brother is coming back in eight days.
The Colons duo of Eddie and Orlando Colon make their way down to the ring. The iconic sounds of the theme music for The Hardy Boyz hits and out comes the reigning TNA World Tag-Team Champions for the main event of the evening.
The Full Sail crowd gives Matt and Jeff Hardy a huge reaction coming out. The bell sounds and things get underway in this, the tag-team main event of the evening. Matt Hardy kicks things off for his team coming out of the gate, establishing the early offensive lead over The Colons.
He plays to the crowd as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break. When the show returns, Hardy is still dominating the action, taking it to Eddie until Orlando makes the save for his brother. This leads to an offensive shift in momentum.
The Colons begin to enjoy their first prolonged run of offensive control. Matt is isolated in the ring and controlled for a few minutes, but ultimately, Jeff gets the much-needed tag and begins taking over. As The Hardy Boyz take their shirts off and look to finish things off, The System hit the ring for an attack.
The referee throws the match out. Joe Hendry’s theme hits and out comes the TNA World Champion to make sure The Hardy Boyz aren’t unfairly attacked in an outnumbered situation. As Joe Hendry, The Hardy Boyz and Leon Slater and Elijah, who also ran out, stand tall in the ring.
As The System and The Colons do the same outside of the ring, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella’s theme hits. The shot-caller in TNA announces that the ten man tag-team match between the two teams of five at TNA Sacrifice 2025 will now be contested inside of a steel cage. That blockbuster announcement is how this week’s show comes to an end.
