TNA iMPACT Preview - August 07, 2025: Trick’s Homecoming, Knockouts Chaos, Ali vs. Hendry & More Ahead of Emergence
TNA iMPACT! returns TONIGHT-Thursday August 7th, with a loaded card as we roll full speed toward Emergence, and all eyes are on the fallout from last week’s shocking NXT crossover.
🗒️ Can’t wait for tonight’s show? Get the full TNA iMPACT spoilers here.
🏆 Trick Williams Returns to the iMPACT Zone
After storming into WWE NXT and confronting Oba Femi, the NXT Champion, Trick Williams now finds himself surrounded by tension—and challengers.
First, Je’Von Evans interrupted his claim to Femi’s gold, then Moose showed up with his own message, declaring that Trick’s time as TNA World Champion is numbered. But when the mysterious DarkState attacked, those same rivals stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Trick to fight them off.
Now, Trick is back in the iMPACT Zone—and he's got a target on his back from every direction.
💄 Knockouts World Title Match: Jacy Jayne (c) vs. Ash By Elegance
It’s finally happening.
Ash By Elegance has waited patiently—and strategically—for her opportunity at the TNA Knockouts World Championship. Now, with Heather and M by Elegance banned from ringside, Ash has to do it alone.
Jacy Jayne, still reeling from that bizarre warning on NXT courtesy of The Personal Concierge, isn’t just defending a title—she’s defending the Knockouts Division’s identity.
🌎 TNA International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs. Jake Something
This one’s going to hurt.
Steve Maclin, the no-nonsense brawler, defends the TNA International Title against a reborn and refocused Jake Something. Both men hit hard, both are chasing legacy—and with Emergence looming, this could steal the night.
🎤 First-Time Ever: Joe Hendry vs. Mustafa Ali
It’s a clash of philosophies and promos when Joe Hendry meets Mustafa Ali for the first time in singles action.
Ali, still fuming over Trick Williams’ reign, blames Hendry for letting it happen—and for the chaos he believes is plaguing TNA. Hendry’s been everywhere lately, even NXT, but now he has to focus on Order 4, and Ali’s smug mission to "restore balance" to pro wrestling.
⚔️ Tag Team Grudge Match: Léi Yǐng Lee & Xia Brookside vs. Heather & M by Elegance
After the interference that marred last week’s title match, Léi Yǐng Lee and Xia Brookside have had enough of The Elegance Brand’s games. Now, they’re ready to throw hands and get payback.
✨ Singles Debut: Mara Sadè in Action
Last week, the world met Mara Sadè—but this Thursday, she steps into singles competition for the first time. Who will she face? And can she prove she’s more than just a flashy debut?
🎤 Plus: Santino Marella Promises a Major Announcement
With Emergence on the horizon, Director of Authority Santino Marella has promised a big reveal this week on iMPACT. What’s he got up his sleeve? Expect the unexpected.
🧠 Wrestling.News | Backstage Take
TNA is thriving right now. The NXT crossover has injected a fresh kind of energy, and Trick Williams is the spark that’s turning heads on both sides of the aisle. The Knockouts Division continues to punch above its weight, and Ash By Elegance could easily tip the scale this week.
Hendry vs. Ali? Sleeper match of the night.
Maclin vs. Jake? Certified banger.
And with Santino teasing a surprise, don’t blink—TNA’s building something special.
