TNA iMPACT Results
Darie Rae makes her return to kick off TNA iMPACT. She tells everyone her name is Daria Rae and that she is The S.U.I.T., as if we don’t already know. The crowd boos, and Rae tells them to shut up while she’s talking. She says there’s nothing worse than standing in front of fans and explaining herself. She claims she was forced to watch Indi Hartwell and Santino Marella ruin her show while she was suspended. Daria alleges that Indi hatched an evil plan by conspiring with Marella against her. She calls herself the greatest authority figure in all of professional wrestling and adds that Indi wouldn’t have won the TNA Knockouts World Championship on her watch.
The Knockouts World Champion makes her way to the ring. Indi notes that Daria hasn’t changed a bit during her suspension and is the same selfish and miserable person. She boasts about winning the TNA Knockouts World Championship while Darie was away. Daria tells Indi to enjoy her reign while it lasts. Indi tries to provoke Daria into slapping her. Instead, the champion learns that Xia Brookside is exercising her rematch clause. Indi is all hyped up until Daria reveals that the match is set to take place next and Indi has no time to change into her ring gear. Brookside’s music hits as we head into our first match of the night.
Indi Hartwell (c) vs. Xia Brookside — TNA Knockouts World Champion
- Hartwell evades Brookside’s Darkside DDT attempt and counters with a big boot, followed by Hearts Donut to pick up the win.
Winner and still TNA Knockouts World Champion: Indi Hartwell
Hartwell’s celebration is cut short by Zoey Serrano and Shayna Baszler, who hit their tag team combo finisher to take out the TNA Knockouts World Champion. Daria watches from the stage, enjoying the beatdown.
Grade: C+
I’ve never been a fan of Hartwell. That being said, I’m intrigued to see how TNA builds her feud with the seemingly unstoppable duo of Zoey Serrano and Shayna Baszler. As for the finish, Brookside was inches away from the ropes but failed to grab them to break up the pin. That’s a low point for a former Knockouts World Champion.
We Hear From Leon Slater
Leon Slater relishes in his monumental win at Bound for Glory, where he defeated Nic Nemeth to become the youngest TNA World Champion. Slater puts over his Destination X opponent, Trey Miguel, who pops into the frame. The two share a laugh, and Slater tells Miguel they’ll tear the house down at Destination X. For now, however, they should watch Jason Hotch take on Mustafa Ali.
Miguel asks Slater if he knows how many world title opportunities he had before tonight. Slater says no, and Miguel tells him it was only one, which came a long time ago. He admits he doesn’t know when he’ll get another opportunity or if he’ll ever get another shot at the world title. Miguel then tells Slater he’s willing to do anything to win the TNA World Championship. The two shake hands and exit the frame.
What’s Next For Xia Brookside?
Xia Brookside breaks down backstage following her loss to Indi Hartwell in their TNA Knockouts World Championship match earlier on TNA iMPACT. Brookside admits she had everything, but now she doesn’t know who she is. In this moment of uncertainty, Brookside opens her hands to reveal a lily of the valley, which seems to serve as a premonition as she exits the frame.
Rich Swann vs. KC Navarro vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Fabian Aichner — TNA X-Division Title #1 Contender’s Match
- Aichner springboards into a roster cut from Myers, followed by a sidewalk slam from Bronson, before Alexander picks up the win with a 450 splash.
Winner: Cedric Alexander
TNA X-Division Champion Amazing Red shows up to confront his next opponent. The commentary team notes that Red will face Alexander next week on TNA iMPACT in an X-Division Championship match. It would mark Red’s first match on TNA’s weekly programming in 15 years.
Grade: B+
I’m patiently waiting for Aichner to get his shot at the X-Division Championship. The Ultimate X match at Destination X feels like the right time to pull the trigger on the Italian star. As for Amazing Red vs. Alexander, I’m looking forward to seeing them duke it out next week on TNA iMPACT.
TNA Teases Solo Run for Special Agent 0
Tasha Steelz tells Special Agent 0 that their mission is accomplished because Order 4 is complete. She adds that there’s only one thing left to do before offering the big man a handshake and wishing him luck in the future. As Steelz exits the frame, 0 smirks and leaves the room, teasing a potential solo run.
Injury Update On Ricky Sosa
During the TNA injury report, it is revealed that Ricky Sosa isn’t medically cleared to compete after taking a bump on a ladder during last week’s main event on TNA iMPACT.
Expressions is still feeling the effects of last week’s match against The Hardys. AJ Francis tries to cheer him up before mocking The Hardys’ matchmaking skills, claiming he could do a better job of booking, even if only for one night. Mila Moore shows up and laughs at the suggestion, prompting Francis to trash-talk her. This brings out John Skyler, who challenges Francis to a match next week. Expressions tries to stand up for his client, but Skyler threatens to break him. As Francis and Expressions exit the frame, Mila thanks Skyler for standing up for her.
The System Isn’t Fine
The System is celebrating Cedric Alexander’s win when Eddie and Alisha Edwards walk into the frame. Bear Bronson questions Eddie for not showing up to support Cedric earlier tonight. Myers brings up Eddie raising Ricky Sosa’s hand following their match at Bound for Glory and asks where his head is at. Edwards puts over Sosa as one of the best in the world and adds that Cedric won even without his support. He and Alisha then exit the frame.
Alexander isn’t thrilled with Edwards calling Sosa the best in the world, while Bronson and Myers grow increasingly frustrated with Edwards.
Joe Alonzo References Avery Styles GCW Controversy
Alonzo cuts a pre-match promo, bringing up Avery Styles’ GCW controversy after an independent wrestler called him out on social media for not paying his dues. Alonzo says he’ll make sure Avery takes down the ring and the guardrails. Most importantly, he’ll make sure Avery Styles puts away the chairs.
Avery Styles vs. Joe Alonzo
- Avery springs straight into a superkick from Alonzo for a nearfall. Alonzo teases a Styles Clash, but Avery evades the move and clocks Alonzo with an enzuigiri on the apron before following up with the Phenomenal Forearm. Avery then hits his father’s iconic Spiral Tap to pick up the win in his TNA iMPACT debut.
Winner: Avery Styles
Grade: A-
Everything from Alonzo’s pre-match promo to Avery Styles’ in-ring performance was great. I loved seeing Avery bust out AJ Styles’ iconic Spiral Tap to pick up the win. That being said, he needs to save the move for special occasions. I also agree with Matthew Rehwoldt that Avery needs to slow down to ensure longevity in this business.
Backstage Segment ft. Elegance Brand, Elayna Black & Jada Stone
M by Elegance appoints herself the leader of the Elegance Brand amid Ash by Elegance’s continued absence. M reveals that she received a call from a PR agent who wants her on the cover of a magazine. Elayna Black interrupts and mocks M for denying her a shot at the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship. Jada Stone then shows up, demanding a title opportunity of her own, even if she has to go through Black and Heather by Elegance. M wants Heather to speak up on her behalf, but Heather mumbles. M then decides she has an even better idea and picks Stone as her opponent. She drags Heather to Santino’s office to make the match official.
TNA Destination X Card
Santino Marella runs down the lineup for Destination X, set for November 15. The following matches are now official:
- Leon Slater (c) vs. Trey Miguel for the TNA World Championship
- Knockouts Ultimate X, with the winner becoming the No. 1 contender for the Knockouts World Championship
- Men’s Ultimate X, with the winner becoming the No. 1 contender for the X-Division Championship
- 2026 World X-Cup
As Marella wraps up, Daria Rae walks into the frame, shakes her head in disbelief, and leaves.
Former WWE Star Arrives in the IMPACT Zone
Allie and Kiera Hogan are in the ring. Allie demands a rematch for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, but Hogan wants none of it and blames Allie for losing the titles to Zoey Serrano and Shayna Baszler. Hogan says she returned to TNA to become a champion but was forced to babysit Allie.
Tasha Steelz then attacks Allie from behind, reuniting with her Fire ‘N Flava partner, Hogan. Hogan hits Allie with a pop-up leg drop before Steelz caps off the assault with a splash. The lights go out, and when they return, Shotzi Blackheart appears to even the odds for Allie against Steelz and Hogan.
Backstage Segment ft. Harley Hudson & The Righteous
Harley Hudson approaches The Righteous and asks if they have a moment. Vincent says the wheels are just spinning at this point because Hudson still hasn’t given them a definitive answer about joining the group. Dutch chimes in and tells Hudson they’ll be expecting a final decision next week on TNA iMPACT.
Elijah calls out Nic Nemeth for costing him an opportunity at the TNA World Championship during last week’s ladder match and promises consequences for Nic’s actions. Ryan Nemeth pops up to promote his movie Stranglehold, in which he plays guitar, adding that Elijah could learn a thing or two about playing guitar from him. He then relays Nic’s message that Elijah will get his ass kicked. Elijah grabs Ryan and shoves him out of the frame before looking back at the camera and declaring that he’ll have to kick both of their asses.
Jason Hotch (c) vs. Mustafa Ali — TNA International Title 2-out-of-3 Falls Match
Hotch counters the rolling neckbreaker into a DDT and starts unloading fists and chops on Ali, who counters with a backslide. Hotch responds with a backslide of his own, and the struggle continues until Ali catches Hotch in a roll-up to claim the first fall.
The match spills to the outside, where Ali hits Hotch with the title belt in an act of desperation. The referee disqualifies Ali, awarding the second fall to Hotch.
- Hotch moves out of the way of the 450 splash and sends Ali face-first into the turnbuckle before connecting with a knee strike to secure the third and decisive fall.
Winner and still TNA International Champion: Jason Hotch
Leon Slater shows up to congratulate Jason Hotch. Slater puts Hotch over for ditching Order 4 and suggests his chapter with Ali is over. He says they were told to wait for their opportunities someday, but that someday is now and the world is theirs. Hotch’s music hits, and the two climb onto the turnbuckles to celebrate as Hannifan puts over TNA’s youth movement to close out the show.
Grade: A-
While this match didn’t top their encounter at Lockdown, it was still a great showing on a regular episode of TNA iMPACT. Hotch took a brutal bump on the apron during the suplex spot but ultimately retained the International Championship. The post-match moment between him and Slater was solid as well. TNA putting its faith in the youth movement is a promising sign for the company’s future. As for Ali, I really hope he goes after the TNA World Championship in 2027.
Overall Grade: B+
TNA iMPACT delivered strong matches, Avery Styles’ impressive debut, and promising developments for the company’s youth movement. However, some segments fell short, including Shotzi Blackheart’s arrival overshadowing Tasha Steelz and Kiera Hogan’s reunion.
That’s it for tonight. Thank you for reading, and I’ll be back next week with TNA iMPACT results coverage.
