This week’s TNA Impact was live from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.
We kicked off the show with a live concert from Joe Hendry, reflecting on his recent TNA World Championship win and appearance in the Men’s Royal Rumble match in WWE. He was interrupted by the debuting Eddie and Orlando Colon (previously signed to WWE from 2011-2020).
The Colons were about to beatdown Hendry with a 2-on-1 advantage until Elijah (previously signed to WWE from 2014-2023) made his debut and the save. Director of Operations Santino Marella subsequently set up a match pitting Hendry and Elijah against The Colons.
The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) def. NXT’s Tyriek Igwe and Tyson Dupont
Ace Austin was at ringside for The Rascalz whilst NXT’s Wes Lee was ringside for Igwe and Dupont. The Rascalz got the drop on their opponents before the opening bell. Lee tried to give his team the advantage via a distraction but he was stopped by Austin.
Wentz went over the top rope to take out Dupont. He then finished Igwe off with the Swanton.
Squish’s rating: 5/10
Lei Ying Lee def. Rosemary
Rosemary had control early in the match, locking in the Upside Down. Lee managed to get out and fight back using her power advantage. She got the win via Thunderstruck.
Squish’s rating: 4/10
Eric Young gloated about his win over Josh Alexander in the main event of last week’s show. He promised to lift Judas Icarus and Travis Williams up to the level of champions.
Young tried to establish himself as the gatekeeper in TNA. He issued a request for Steve Maclin to join The Northern Armory but Maclin was not present to respond.
No Disqualification match: JDC def. Leon Slater
Slater brought in a steel chair early to start with an advantage. He took down JDC with a flying forearm over the table. He then went over the top turnbuckle to dive on JDC on the outside.
JDC took control with a slam onto the steel chair. Then, he brought in a kendo stick. Slater put JDC through a table with a Swanton 450 to the outside from the top rope.
Slater couldn’t score a pin as he was put through a table by Moose, Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards, who accompanied JDC at ringside. JDC used this to pick up the win.
Squish’s rating: 6/10
Tessa Blanchard tactically came out not ready to wrestle despite being scheduled to. In her heelish ways, she confirms she will not be wrestling tonight.
Santino Marella comes out to demand she wrestle next week or face being terminated from TNA. The TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich arrives to state that she wants Blanchard to stay so she can brutalise her.
Slamovich chooses to replace Blanchard in her match scheduled for tonight.
TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich def. Mila Moore (non-title match)
Not much to say as this was essentially a squash win to put over the champion.
Squish’s rating: Squash (not rated)
Elijah and TNA World Champion Joe Hendry def. The Colons (Eddie Colon and Orlando Colon)
Elijah starts off by taking it to Eddie. Hendry demonstrated his strength with a stalling suplex to Orlando. He then hit a fallaway slam on Eddie. The Colons take control and stop the pace of Hendry’s offence.
Hendry reverse a guillotine from Eddie into a vertical suplex. He then makes the hot tag to Elijah. Elijah clocks Orlando with a mid-air knee strike but Eddie makes the save. Hendry takes the fight to ringside while Elijah manages to pick up the win with a Piledriver.
Squish’s rating: 6/10
