🔥 TNA Emergence 2025 – Confirmed Match Card
🏆 TNA World Championship: Trick Williams (c) vs. Moose
Fresh off his WWE NXT appearance where he confronted NXT Champion Oba Femi, Trick Williams is riding high as the crossover king of wrestling.
But Moose has no intention of letting Trick walk into Emergence with that same confidence. After pinning the champ in tag action on iMPACT!, Moose now comes into this match laser-focused and dangerous.
Prediction: Moose is looking to drag Trick back to earth — but Trick’s got that big-match clutch gene.
💣 Mike Santana vs. Sami Callihan
Two of TNA’s most unpredictable forces collide. Expect intensity, fists flying, and zero handshakes.
🏠 Ryan Nemeth vs. “The Home Town Man”
The details are still hush-hush… but there’s buzz that a surprise return or debut could light up Baltimore in this matchup. Stay tuned.
🏆 TNA World Tag Team Championship: The Hardys (c) vs. The Rascalz
Wait… scratch that.
After recent tapings, it’s confirmed: The Hardys will now defend the TNA Tag Team Titles against the Nemeth brothers — Nic & Ryan. That’s veteran tag excellence vs. second-gen hunger.
Prediction: The Hardys have magic left, but the Nemeths have something to prove — and might just shock the world.
⚔️ TNA International Championship – No DQ: Steve Maclin (c) vs. Jake Something
There are No Disqualifications, and there’s Steve Maclin-level brutality.
This match is going to be pure punishment. Jake Something has never looked more determined, and Maclin loves to fight dirty. Expect weapons. Expect blood. Expect war.
💄 TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships: The Elegance Brand (c) vs. Fatal Influence vs. The IInspiration vs. Lei Yǐng Lee & Xia Brookside
It’s an all-out tag war for the Knockouts gold — with Ash By Elegance’s crew, The IInspiration, and two rising teams all battling to define the division.
Prediction: The Knockouts Tag Titles may finally slip away from The Elegance Brand — and Fatal Influence is the dark horse pick.
🪂 X-Division Championship: Leon Slater (c) vs. Cedric Alexander
This one could steal the show.
Leon Slater continues to make waves as X-Division Champ, but Cedric Alexander brings WWE seasoning and serious speed. This is the definition of a dream match.
Prediction: Toss-up — and worth every second of airtime.
🧠 Wrestling.News | Backstage Take
TNA is no longer playing catch-up — they’re leading the charge into this new era of crossover wrestling. Trick Williams is the biggest star in two companies, the Knockouts Division is stacked, and Steve Maclin might be one of the most violent champions on TV right now.
Emergence isn’t just a one-off special. It’s a statement.
This card has depth, surprises, and some real potential for title changes. If you’ve been waiting to jump on the TNA bandwagon — this is the show to do it.
