TNA iMPACT Results - September 04, 2025: Hardys & Mara Stand Tall, Indi Hartwell Earns Title Shot, Santana Calls Out Trick Williams

TNA delivered one of its most emotional and drama-filled episodes of the year live from Minneapolis. The night opened with a somber tribute following a local tragedy, but quickly pivoted into high-stakes storytelling as Mike Santana promised to bring the world title home, Indi Hartwell punched her ticket to Bound For Glory, and The Hardys reunited with Mara Sade to score a feel-good main event win. With Bound For Glory looming, TNA continues to lean on its blend of legacy stars and hungry up-and-comers — and tonight’s show struck a chord.

Opening Tribute & Santana’s Declaration

Commentator Tom Hannifan opened the broadcast with condolences regarding the recent shooting tragedy in Minneapolis. Wrestlers and officials stood together for a moment of silence, and TNA announced that proceeds from a special t-shirt would go to local charities.

From there, Santino Marella hit the ring to announce that Trick Williams will defend the TNA World Championship against Mike Santana at Bound For Glory. Santana joined him and delivered an emotional promo, vowing to win the title for his daughter and the fans. He accused Trick of ducking him behind lawyers, and promised that if Trick wouldn’t come to TNA, he’d show up on his turf.

Backstage: Moose, AJ Francis, and Santana

Backstage, Moose wished Santana luck but tension quickly escalated when AJ Francis appeared on the phone with Trick. Moose challenged AJ to a match for next week, calling him a “snitch.” Santana sided with Moose before storming off.

Matt Cardona vs. Frankie Kazarian

Before the bell, Ryan Nemeth ran his mouth about his “big brother” returning to TNA, only to be interrupted by Matt Cardona. After trading insults, Frankie Kazarian made his entrance to set up the night’s first bout.

Match #1: Frankie Kazarian def. Matt Cardona (12:00)
A hard-hitting battle unfolded, with Ryan Nemeth constantly interfering. Cardona had momentum with a spinebuster and his Radio Silence finisher on Ryan, but the distraction opened the door for Frankie to connect with Fade to Black for the victory.

Afterward, Gia Miller confronted Kazarian, who mocked her and cut his own promo. He made it clear he has his eyes on Steve Maclin and the International Title, sparking a heated confrontation.

Knockouts Chaos: The Elegance Brand Celebration

Ash By Elegance’s Knockouts World Title celebration turned into pure chaos. The Concierge and her entourage unveiled a royal portrait and champagne, but Masha Slamovich interrupted to demand her shot at Victory Road.

Masha stormed the ring, brawled with Ash’s entourage, and sparked a wild melee that saw Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside, and finally The Iinspiration rush the ring. Ash’s champagne attack left Masha seething, and the painting of Ash was destroyed in the fray.

No. 1 Contender’s Triple Threat

Match #2: Indi Hartwell def. Jody Threat & Dani Luna (8:00)
High-energy action with Dani dominating early, Jody’s relentlessness keeping the pace up, and Indi fighting from underneath. After a series of near falls, Indi cradled Jody for the decisive three-count.

Post-match, Dani attacked Indi, signaling unfinished business between the three.

Joe Hendry Speaks

Joe Hendry received a hero’s welcome in Minneapolis. He reminded fans of his cross-brand appearances but declared that his heart belongs to TNA. Hendry called out Eric Young for last week’s ambush.

Eric appeared on stage, vowing that Hendry would be the first casualty of his “cleanse.” Hendry challenged him to fight tonight, but Eric deferred until next week. The crowd thundered with chants of “We believe!” as Hendry promised to prove them right.

Main Event: The Hardys & Mara Sade vs. The Great Hands & Tasha Steelz

Match #3: Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy & Mara Sade def. The Great Hands & Tasha Steelz (13:00)
In Lita-inspired gear, Mara Sade shined alongside The Hardys. After Agent Zero was ejected, the match turned into a chaotic showcase with Poetry in Motion, Whisper in the Wind, and Mara drilling Tasha with the Finish Her.

The sequence closed with Matt hitting a Twist of Fate, Mara connecting with a moonsault, and Jeff sealing it with the Swanton Bomb on John Skyler for the pin.

The celebration was short-lived as Nic and Ryan Nemeth attacked post-match, laying out The Hardys and superkicking Mara before posing with the belts.
