💥 Order 4 Kicks Off With a Mission
Mustafa Ali opened the show flanked by Order 4, blasting the current state of TNA as chaotic and infiltrated by outsiders. He said he’s ready to become the next TNA World Champion and promised fans a version of the company they could “truly believe in.”
Joe Hendry interrupted with a surprise: embarrassing “leaked” footage of John Skylar (complete with a Hendry wrestling buddy and some toilet humor involving an Ali T-shirt). Ali refused to fight tonight but accepted Hendry’s challenge for next week.
✍️ (Note: Match was later confirmed to be moved up to the Aug 7 show.)
🗣️ Trick Williams Returns Fire
Fresh off his NXT face-off with Oba Femi and Je’Von Evans, TNA World Champion Trick Williams addressed the crowd. He brushed off last week’s loss and promised to smack Moose, Moose’s mama, grandma, and uncle at Emergence.
Moose stormed out, landed a punch, and went for the Spear — but Trick bailed, laughing his way to the back.
📝 Kazarian’s Still Lurking
Frankie Kazarian returned to commentary with a mystery document — likely tied to his new authority/agent-style role. He was only allowed to call one match (again), but his presence is clearly building toward something.
💢 TNA International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs. Jake Something — Double Count-Out
This match turned into an all-out war. After a huge pop for Jake Something, Maclin shocked the crowd with a suicide dive under the bottom rope. The two ended up brawling on the apron before falling to the floor, resulting in a double count-out.
Security tried to separate them — until Maclin dove onto everyone. They kept fighting up the ramp as fans chanted to "let them fight."
🎤 Mike Santana Delivers Raw Promo From the Stands
From the bleachers, Mike Santana cut a passionate, unscripted-feeling promo. Reflecting on his loss at Slammiversary, he talked about failing with his daughter watching. He promised redemption — and one day soon, he’s going to "whoop Trick's ass" in that very ring.
💥 Knockouts Tag Action: Lei Yǐng Lee & Xia Brookside def. M & Heather By Elegance
With the Personal Concierge ringside, this one had shenanigans all over it. Lei scored the win for her team, pinning M after an impressive Airplane Spin into a TKO. The Knockouts tag division continues to heat up.
🩺 First Class Drama: Rich Swann Joins, KC Booted
In a new “First Class Penthouse” segment, AJ Francis revealed KC Navarro suffered a torn ACL at Slammiversary. AJ brought out a surprise replacement — Rich Swann — and forced KC to hold the mic while Swann cut a return promo.
AJ then publicly fired KC from First Class. After harsh words and insults (AJ: “165 pounds of dead weight”), Swann pulled Navarro’s crutch, sending him crashing to the ramp. Cold.
⚡ Mara Sadè def. Vicious Vicki
Mara Sadè scored a dominant win in her iMPACT singles debut. No info yet on Vicious Vicki, but the crowd reacted big to Sadè’s energy and presence.
🥵 Knockouts World Title: Ash By Elegance def. Jacy Jayne (DQ)
Ash By Elegance finally got her title shot against Double Champ Jacy Jayne, but the match ended in DQ after Masha Slamovich ran in to attack Ash.
What followed was Knockouts chaos: run-ins from Xia, Lei, Fatal Influence, M & Heather, and eventually The IInspiration. Faces stood tall to close the segment.
🎤 Santino Marella Books Emergence, Botches Names
TNA’s Director of Authority Santino Marella hit the ring to announce matches for Emergence:
- Steve Maclin vs. Jake Something – No DQ, No Countout
- Mike Santana vs. Sami Callihan
- The Elegance Brand vs. Lei & Xia vs. Fatal Influence vs. The IInspiration – Knockouts Tag Titles
Santino then “punished” the Nemeths for attacking “The Home Town Man” last week — pulling them from the tag title match and replacing them with The Rascalz. He also booked Ryan Nemeth vs. The Home Town Man at Emergence after Ryan threatened legal action.
(Yes, Santino is still botching names 20 years later.)
😈 Main Event: Mustafa Ali def. Joe Hendry
With heavy interference from Order 4 — including the large unnamed Secret Service member — Ali stole the win after a 450 Splash. It took multiple interferences and a beatdown outside the ring, but Ali got the job done.
Wrestling.News | Backstage Take:
TNA isn’t just building stars — it’s building momentum.
Ali vs. Hendry delivered a classic heel robbery. Trick vs. Moose feels big-league. Maclin vs. Jake is a car crash waiting to happen. And the Knockouts Division might just be the most stacked women’s division in all of pro wrestling.
From promos in the stands to fights that never end in-ring — this felt like prime TNA with 2025 production. And we’re here for it.
📺 TNA iMPACT airs Thursday, August 7 at 8/7c on AXS TV, Sportsnet 360, TNA+, and YouTube.
Full results and reactions posted after airing of iMPACT concludes on Wrestling.News.
