TNA Impact 6/11/2026

TNA Impact 6/11/2026 

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/06/tna-impact-642026.html

Note - Steve Maclin and Myla Grace left TNA last weekend. It's expected WWE will take Santana and Slater in the future. I really don't know who will be left in TNA at the rate things are going. I've never really seen a promotion get a big payday with a new TV deal and then lose everyone right after. The correct answer to this is to find some young talent, lock them in on long term deals and push them. What TNA will do instead is grab people who just got cut by WWE.

We are in Denver, CO. Matthew Rehwoldt & Tom Hannifan are on commentary.

TNA World Title Match - Mike Santana (c) vs. Eric Young

Mike running boots him, running backsplashes him and running sentons him. Mike corner cannonballs him. Mike sitout powerbombs him for 2. They go out and Mike pump kicks him there. 

They trade shots outside. Mike is sent into the steps and chokeslammed on the apron edge. EY neckbreakers him on the apron. We go to break and return. EY pulls Mike's neck over the top rope.

EY teases hitting the ref. EY hits Mike in the corner. EY goes up on the buckles and takes an overhead belly to belly down. Mike boots him out of the corner and enzugiri's him. Mike bulldogs him then backrolls into a cutter for 2. Mike hits an iconoclasm on him then death valley drivers him for 2. 

EY goes into the ref and Mike spinning lariats him. The ref is down and can't count the pin attempt. EY low blows Mike. EY grabs the TNA Title and hits Mike with it. EY piledrivers him for 2 when Mike grabs the ropes.

Ricky Sosa comes out on the stage. EY gets distracted. Sosa dances there. Mike then rolls up EY and pins him.

Thoughts: The ending was weak here. Sosa was gone from TNA for a while for unknown reasons and now he's back. Mike won as expected here. It was acceptable but not much else.

Nic Nemeth comes out with the Call Your Shot trophy. Nic offers Mike help in getting up. Nic asks for the mic. He says he could call his shot right now, pick Mike's bones and become TNA champ. Mike tells him to come on. Nic says he's a man of his word and says he will call his shot at Slammiversary. They tug over the title and the crowd chants "do it now". They shake hands and Mike holds the title up at him.

Order 4 is interviewed. Ali mocks Nic and says what Nic did was an honorable but idiotic move. Ali says he lost to KC Navarro a few weeks ago but KC's uncle passed away earlier this week. He says KC wants to tell us how he's a fighter and says KC will scratch and claw this week. He says he will fight to the bitter end and lose like his uncle. Ali says he wants to send condolences to his family for their losses - both of them.

The Personal Concierge/George Iceman does the intro for Mr. Elegance. Elijah plays guitar for his entrance and has no music since AJ Francis bought it. He rips AJ Francis and calls him a fatheaded, no skill Uncle Phil. He says AJ wants to take his image and likeness and silence our voices. Eli asks who wants to walk with Elijah? He then plays the "Walk With Elijah" song. Brandon Barettta, an SICW wrestler who is acting as AJ's messenger, gives Eli papers. Eli complains and is hit from behind.

Elijah vs Mr. Elegance

Mr. Elegance sends Eli into Brandon Baretta and cradles Eli to pin him.

AJ Francis comes out and says Elijah loses again. He says he lost his name image and music catalog to the best big man in the business. He says he will also lose the cease and desist. He says he makes a lot of money and there's nothing we can do about it. AJ comes in the ring and Eli lariats him over the top. Eli plancha's him and beats up AJ in the crowd. Mr. Elegance then celebrates in the ring.

Lei Ying Lee comes in and ring and beats up Elegance. Lee top rope twisting blockbusters him. Lee then hits mounted shots on him. Xia Brookside comes out and throws down Lee. She then hits mounted shots on her. Lee hits her warrior's way drop. Xia escapes.

TNA Injury Report

The Hardy's are out and haven't been seen since last week's match. Trey Miguel is out. Moose is cleared.

Nic Nemeth and KC Navarro talk in the back. Nic tells him to do what he does and says he's in the zone. He tells him to win that title. KC says he's shocked at what Nic did earlier. He says Nic could have beaten Mike if he took advantage of him. Ryan Nemeth comes in and says Nic should have beaten Mike as that is what winners do. Nic says he will beat Mike face to face as that is what winners do. Mike Santana comes in. He says he doesn't trust anyone but he respects him for calling his shot face to face. Mike says it's not that when he beats him he will shake his hand. Mike says when he beats Nic, Nic can hake his hand. KC says Order 4 will be out with Ali tonight and asks them to watch his back in case they get involved. Nic agrees and Ryan says not to help this idiot. Security pulls away Mike and Ryan tells KC, "I'm the little brother, okay?".

Fabian Aichner & Leon Slater vs. The System (Cedric Alexander & Eddie Edwards) 

Eddie elbows and side headlocks Leon. He shoulders him over. Leon rewind kicks Eddie then flying lariats him in the corner. Fab comes in and Ced knees him from the apron. Fab springboard twisting crossbodies Eddie then he tilt-a-whirl backbreakers him. Fab does the same to Ced.

Eddie then knocks Fab into the buckles. Ced release suplexes Fab on the apron. We go to break and return. Ced chops Fab in the corner and sends him hard into the buckles. 
 
Fab takes a PK and an elbow drop. Ced suplexes Fab for 2. Fab and Eddie crossbody each other at the same time and both go down. Leon comes in and hits lariats on Ced. Leon superkicks him. Leon flips over Ced then spinning heel kicks him. Leon top rope crossbodies Ced for 2.

Fab sends Eddie and Ced out. Fab walks up the buckles and plancha's Bear and Brian outside. Leon corkscrew dives over the post.

Alisha Edwards trips up Leon. Leon flips in and Ced lumbar checks him. Ced pin him.

Thoughts: Well, at least the faces didn't get pinned clean here. What we got was fine but it could have used a longer finishing stretch.

Ced beats up Leon after and Fab knocks Ced down. Fab grabs Bear and Brian clips Fab. Moose comes out and the heels run even though they have the 4v1 advantage.

Moose says he's been gone a long time but he's back. He says it's time to put an end to this. Moose says it'll be him vs Eddie at Slammiversary.

Santino Marella talks. He say last week was a big week for him and Indi Hartwell. He says they beat Stacks and Arianna Grace last week and now they can get on with their lives. Santino says it'll be a while before they come back here and he he hopes they have a better attitude. Indi comes in. She says she needs to refocus and says she wants a rematch with Elayna Black. Santino says they can do it next week on Impact.

The Righteous come out. Vincent said he told us that the vines don't let go in The Wicked Garden. He says history was made last week and said The Hardy's met "Lily of the Valley". Vincent says it's beautiful and delicate but poisonous beneath. He says he put it in Jeff's mouth not to hurt him, but to show that even legends decay. He says The Hardy's survived ladders, tables and time itself. But then they entered the garden and The Righteous classified them as obsolete. 

Dutch says last week was historic. He says the soil of The Wicked Garden was fed well last week. He says watching Jeff converse brought happy tears in their eyes. He says we saw the goat's cling on to yesterday while The Righteous become tomorrow. Vincent says there's one more thing left to do - the TNA Tag Title.

Santino Marella comes out. Santino says they creep him out but are right about The Garden. He says they earned a title match...one day. Santino says The Hardy Boys have their rematch clause though. He says The System will face The Hardy's and The Righteous in a 3-Way Ladder Match for the tag titles at Slammiversary. Vincent say The Hardy's are gone and it's obvious who is in control now.

The lights go out. We hear Matt Hardy say "yessss". A ladder appears in the ring. Vincent is scared and Dutch pushes it over. Piano music then plays.

The Personal Concierge does the intro for The Elegance Brand.

Allie, Mara Sade & Rosemary vs. The Elegance Brand (Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance & M By Elegance)

Mara gets swept by Mr. Elegance as she dances on the apron. Mara takes a group beating. All 6 girls fight. The faces go for a triple lariat and Ash ducks it. Mara hits gut shots on M and chops her. Mara corner backsplashes her and flying corner forearms her. Mara top rope dropkicks her for 2.

Rose gets in and Ash doesn't want to face her. Ash prays. Rose grabs a doll of some sort. The commentators say it looks like Ash. Ash complains. Rose pulls on the doll's hair and Ash sells it like it is hurting her. The girls abuse the doll more and Ash sells it. M is given the doll and she makes Ash duck with it somehow.

Ash runs away from Mara outside then hides behind George. Mara hits George. George has the doll and falls over so Ash falls with him. Heather falls off the top and Allie codebreakers her. Allie pins her.

Thoughts
: They were doing voodoo here and it was as bad as it sounds. What else really needs to be said?

TNA International Title Match - Mustafa Ali (c) vs. KC Navarro

KC slaps Ali. Ali boots and chops him. Ali misses a dive into the ropes. KC ddt's him while being held in mid-air. KC dropkicks him through the ropes. KC does a tope into a tornado ddt on the floor.

KC back body drops Ali on the floor. KC bangs Ali's head off the apron. John Skyler distracts KC and Ali wheelbarrow germans KC on the floor. Ali neckbreakers him in the ring. Ali chinlocks KC. 

Ali pulls KC down by the hair. Ali chops KC in the corner. KC goes up and over and pumping knees Ali. Ali ear claps KC. Ali powerbombs him. Ali then stf's him. We go to break and return. KC ropebreaks to escape the stf. Ali drops KC neck first on his knee. Ali misses a 450. 

Ali charges in the corner and goes face first into the 2nd buckle. Ali boots him out of the corner and is hit with an enzugiri. KC counters a move and cutters him off the 2nd rope for 2. KC double boots Ali out of the corner then he is swept on the ropes. KC spin kicks Ali in the gut then fameassers him for 2.

Ali pulls KC into the buckles and they trade pin attempts. KC hits a sliced bread for 2. Ali sharpshooters KC and KC submits.

Thoughts:
Ali won this one fairly clean. It was alright but nothing more. There wasn't any reason to expect KC to win here, but his day is probably coming as the TNA roster gets smaller and smaller. Ali did his usual face bump into the 2nd buckle here and they did a fair bit of athletic stuff.

Ali sharpshooters KC again after. Nic Nemeth comes out to help KC. Mike Santana then comes out. They get the edge on the heels. Agent Zero is double clotheslined over the top. Ali tries to attack Mike from behind and Nic superkicks Ali. Nic then hits a zig zag/danger zone on Mike.

Thoughts: Well that was dumb. Nic had an easy chance to cash his title shot in and didn't do it so he could be friendly with Mike. The he turned on him anyway.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual level of quality from Impact. Santana/Eric was acceptable with a weak ending. Elijah lost in seconds to Mr. Elegance, but it wasn't clean. Nic Nemeth tried to convince us all show long that he was Santana's friend, then he turned on him anyway. The System's tag match was probably the best match on here. The Righteous will face The Hardy's in a 3-Way Ladder Match at Slammiversary. We had an awful kayfabe destroying match with the girls where Ash pretended to be affected by a voodoo doll. The main of Navarro/Ali was fine and Ali won as expected. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and it probably would have been higher if not for that awful women's match. It was acceptable overall and I wouldn't recommend it.
