TNA iMPACT starts ... NOW!
This week's show kicks off with Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt being shown at the commentary desk with their sad voices talking about how the TNA World Championship is held by someone in Trick Williams that is not even under contract with TNA Wrestling.
TNA World Tag-Team Championship Eliminator
First Class vs. Aztec Warriors vs. The System vs. The Rascalz
We see footage from before the show of The System attacking Octagon Jr. of The Aztec Warriors backstage. He is not medically cleared to compete as a result, but Laredo will fight on by himself. On that note, the four teams make their respective entrances. The bell sounds to officially start the high-stakes four-way tag-team title eliminator opening match, where the winners advance to challenge The Nemeths for the titles at TNA Against All Odds 2025. After several minutes of intense back-and-forth action, it was The Rascalz duo of Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz who emerged victorious. With the win, they will challenge Nic and Ryan Nemeth for the TNA World Tag-Team Championships at TNA Against All Odds 2025. The Nemeths are interviewed about this backstage after the match and seem to be fine with it.
Winners: The Rascalz
Mustafa Ali vs. Raj Singh
Raj Singh makes his way to the ring after a video package airs on Harley Hudson and Myra Grace joining TNA Wrestling's Knockouts division. Mustafa Ali comes out next with The Great Hands and Tasha Steelz. Ali rushes across the ring and kicks Singh's block off at the start of the match. Then, within a minute, without even taking his shirt off, hits his 450 splash for the squash match victory. Afterwards, he once again got physical with Steelz in a moment of temporary insanity.
Winner: Mustafa Ali
Lei Ying Lee vs. Ash By Elegance
Backstage, Arianna Grace informs her dad, Santino Marella, that they will team up tonight to take on Robert Stone and Victoria Crawford. Inside the Impact Zone, George Iceman introduces Ash By Elegance. Her opponent, Lei Ying Lee comes out next, and then the bell sounds to get things started. Lee gets the win via Thunderstruck and an airplane spin. After the match, Masha Slamovich comes out and confirms their battle for the TNA Knockouts Championship at TNA Against All Odds 2025.
Winner: Lei Ying Lee
Trick Williams Addresses TNA World Title Situation
Footage is shown of Mike Santana’s match against Tavion Heights at WWE NXT this past Tuesday night, and his follow-up face-to-face segment with new TNA World Champion Trick Williams later in the show. Hannifan and Rehwoldt promote Mike Santana vs. Trick Williams for next week’s WWE NXT show. Trick Williams is then shown in a special video promo segment. He talks directly into camera about not being in Brampton for a reason. He says he demands a first class airplane ticket and a five star hotel, but TNA only wanted to offer coach. He then warns Mike Santana to not get in his face again or he’ll take him out. He taunts Joe Hendry for taking his fans and his brand.
Mance Warner vs. Bryce Hansen
In another very quick squash match, Mance Warner defeats Bryce Hansen in vicious fashion. After the match, Steph De Lander gets on the microphone to tout the Mance De Lander Era. She tells the winner of tonight's main event that Mance Warner is coming for the TNA International Championship.
Winner: Mance Warner
Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs. Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford
Santino Marella and Arianna Grace come out to an enormous pop. The first-ever father-daughter team is ready for action. Robert Stone comes out and says Victoria Crawford, not Tessa Blanchard, will be his partner. Alisha Edwards will be the special enforcer. It is a 10-minute match only. There are no Cobras allowed from Marella. The bell sounds and off we go. Blanchard gets involved at ringside and is immediately ejected. Crawford finishes off Arianna but Stone steals the pin for the win for his team.
Winners: Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford
Newcomers Crash The Elegance Brand Reveal
George Iceman and Heather By Elegance come out. Iceman says Ash By Elegance isn't with them because she's recovering from her match earlier. He goes in to introduce the new-and-improved Maggie Lee, now going by the name M By Elegance. As he is boasting her attributes and setting up a celebratory toast, Harley Hudson and Myra Grace come out to crash the party. They remind Iceman he interrupted their moment earlier in the show, and throw a drink at them. It is announced that Heather & M By Elegance will take on Hudson and Grace next week.
TNA International Championship
Steve Maclin (c) vs. Matt Cardona
The commentators announce the lineup for next week's show and confirm Elijah vs. Trick Williams or Mike Santana (whoever wins the TNA title match on NXT next week) for TNA Against All Odds 2025. Also announced is Joe Hendry vs. Frankie Kazarian, Masha Slamovich vs. Lei Ying Lee for the TNA Knockouts title, as well as The Nemeths vs. The Rascalz for the TNA Tag-Team titles. Matt Cardona comes out for the main event of the evening. TNA International Champion Steve Maclin comes out next. The bell sounds and off we go with this headline title tilt. Maclin takes the early lead and dominates the first few minutes. The show heads to a mid-match break. When it returns, it is all Cardona in control. Cardona beats down Maclin for what feels like forever, even trying Chelsea Green's Unpretty-her, but to no avail. Ultimately, Maclin fires up for a comeback and hits his K.I.A. finisher for the win to retain.
Winner and STILL TNA International Champion: Steve Maclin
Mike Santana Closes Out This Week's Show
After some production issues, which probably saw many people stop watching, because credits rolled and the commentators thanked us for tuning in. We then saw random in-progress footage of Trick Williams' ring entrance from TNA Under Siege. It cuts off abruptly and then we see the last 10 seconds of the Maclin-Cardona main event that we just saw seconds ago. This time when it wraps up, the show cuts to Mike Santana backstage. He talks directly into the camera as he vows to win back the TNA World Championship from Trick Williams next Tuesday night on WWE NXT. That's how things wrap up for real.
