Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/10/tna-impact-1092025.html 

We are in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. 

We see clips from Victory Road.

Mike Santana talks to Santino outside. Mike and Trick are forbidden to touch each other tonight. He says he can hit him back if Trick starts it though.  

The King's Speech

Kaz says he will pose for 3-5 seconds so the morons can give him a standing ovation. Frankie Kazarian rips The Hardy's. He says Leon Slater is great but asks if he can lead the company like he did and says he doesn't think so. He then brings out Kelani Jordan. He says most of the Knockouts aren't nice here and says they say KJ's win was a fluke. KJ says she's never been a fluke. 

Kaz says she's from NXT and she's the Knockouts champ. He says the TNA champ is from NXT too. Kaz says if he was champ, Trick would not have beaten him like he did with the fluke Joe Hendry. 

Trick Williams comes out. Trick says he likes Kaz but says to put respect on his name. Trick says if Kaz is the king, he's the emperor. Kaz says Trick can't talk heirarchy until he put the years in he did. Trick says Kaz is a 2nd rate champ in a 2nd rate business. He says TNA is full of 2nd rate talent.

Trick then says if Mike Santana puts his hands on him before Bound for Glory, the match will be cancelled. Trick says TNA is on fire because of him. 

Matt Hardy comes out. He says we have self-esteem issues in this ring. Matt says TNA is on fire due to The Hardy's, Santana and Leon Slater. Kaz asks where Jeff is and says he's not even allowed here. He says he wishes he wasn't allowed in this dump of a country.

Leon Slater comes out. He says Jeff isn't here but he is. He says he'll stand by Matt's side anytime. Trick tells him to mind his business. KJ says she will show why no one can do it like Lani.

Indi Hartwell comes out. She says she respects KJ but she hasn't fought someone like her. Indi says she has the support of the locker room and fans and will bring the title home. Kaz complains and kicks everyone off the show. 

Santino comes out. He tells everyone to take it easy. He says he needs a match for tonight and asks if we want to see a 6-man tag. He then makes the match with these 6. He says it'll start after the break. 

Thoughts: This was a long one and it got silly with so many people coming out. 

Indi Hartwell, Leon Slater and Matt Hardy vs Kelani Jordan, Frankie Kazarian and Trick Williams

Indi front facelocks Kelani and KJ tries a pin on her. KJ backslides her. Kaz tags in and shoves Indi from behind. Indi hits him and wristlocks him. Matt 2nd rope elbow drops Kaz's arm and armbreakers it. Kaz takes a double team. Leon hits mounted corner punches on Kaz. Indi and KJ get in. Indi hits shots on her and Kaz trips Indi from the outside. KJ codebreakers Indi. 

KJ low crossbodies Indi for 2. KJ knees Indi in the back and bodyscissors her. Indi boots her away. Leon comes in and running facekicks Trick. He corner dropkicks him. Leon handspring back elbows him for 2. Trick hits mounted shots on Leon then flapjacks him. Trick full-nelsons Leon.

We go to break and return. Trick full-nelson's Leon. Kaz tries to hit Leon but hits Trick instead on accident. Leon rewind kicks Trick. Matt tags in. He hits shots on Trick and bangs his head off the buckles. Matt corner lariats Trick then hits a side effect on him for 2. Matt ddt's Trick and Kaz together. 

Trick leg lariats Matt. Leon goes to springboard in but is stopped then slingshotted into a cutter. Indi top rope elbow drops Kaz's back. 4 of the 6 fight outside. Leon misses a corner splash on Trick. Trick runs into Mike Santana on commentary then Kaz is pushed into both of them. Since Trick touched Mike, Mike can hit him. Mike pounds on Trick and bangs his head off the commentary table. Leon top rope corkscrew dives over the post on Kaz. Leon hits a swanton 450 on Kaz and wins.

Thoughts: Mike getting his hands on Trick was the big moment of this one. That was entertaining. As always with intergender matches, the men were dumb and didn't take out the women and the women were able to get the edge on the guys. It was about average overall.

Tommy Dreamer comes out with the TNA roster. He talks about NXT vs TNA Showdown. Tommy says they are family. He says they will take NXT to the extreme and show why they are TNA. He says they will kick NXT's @ss. 

Thoughts: These are always good and this was no different. I liked Tommy rallying the troops.

TNA Injury Report

Gia Miller is cleared from bruising. Ash By Elegance is out of action with no time table for return. The Iinspiration and The Elegance Brand are cleared.  

 Mara Sade does a video. She said she got into wrestling watching Total Divas. She says she's been wrestling for 4 years now. She says she has had concussions and broken bones then got released from her dream job. She said it was one of the darkest days of her life as it was the light at the end of the tunnel.

The Angel Warriors (Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee) vs Kat Von Heez and Ava Lawless

The Warriors do an inset promo. They say something about bringing honor to the titles. Lee says they will dominate.

Lee and Kat lock up. They pull each other's hair. Lee side headlocks her. Xia and Lee hit stereo mounted corner punches. Ava takes a monkey flip. Ava is explodered for 2. Kat takes a PK and a senton for 2. 

Ava stomps on Xia then legdrops her. Ava hits a corner splash. Kat backpack stunners Xia then chinlocks her. Xia monkey flips Kat. Lee and Ava get in. Lee hits strikes and push kicks her. Lee superkicks her then dropkicks her. Lee pulls her neck forward and basement dropkicks her for 2. Lee is flipped onto Ava with an iconoclasm and she pins her.  

Thoughts: It was a quick one and it wasn't that good. Ava needs to work on her bumps a bit. Kat did fine here. Xia and Lee aren't the strongest women's wrestlers in TNA and I'm not sure if they teaming up is a great idea. 

Joe Hendry talks in the back. He said he overcame Eric Young at Victory Road. He says the student overcame the teacher. He said Eric brought a chair in but was thrown on it. Santino comes in. He says Joe will have a rematch with Eric next week and it'll be No DQ. He says it's above him and was made by management. Joe doesn't seem pleased. 

We get a Mike Santana video with him walking around outside then sitting in an empty arena. Amazing Red then joins him. He says back in the day it was him The SAT, Ki, Homicide and Divine Storm. Red says they took the world by storm and took no prisoners. Red said people said they were too small but they proved them wrong. Red said the opened the door for people like Mike. He says Mike is letting someone disrespect them like that. 

Red talks about him losing at Slammiversary. He said him and Homicide wondered what happened when he got pinned. He said it was disappointment. Red said they wasted their time and there was no celebration. He said Mike let someone come in his house and take something that belonged to him.

Red says his crew had their time and now Mike has Bound for Glory coming up. He said Trick came in his house, slapped his family then sh!t on the door step. Red says no more of this culture thing. He says it's not about his family and friends. He says he needs to do this for himself. He says everything will be the way it is supposed to when he gets the title. He says he won't lose again. He says bring the title home. 

Nic Nemeth vs The Home Town Man

Ryan Nemeth has Home's mask. Home has an Oilers jersey on.

Ryan distracts Home but then Home hits punches on Nic. He spinning punches Nic then boots him in the corner. Home running hip attacks him then airplane spins him. Home TKO's him for 2.

Ryan holds Home's foot. Nic splashes and neckbreakers him for 2. Nic chokes Home on the ropes then Ryan does too. Nic pulls on Home's mask and grounded sleepers him. Nic gets cocky then is hit with lariats. Home slams him then elbow drops him.

Home hits a shiranui for 2 when Ryan puts Nic's foot on the ropes. Home topes Ryan outside and takes his mask back. Nic superkicks and zig zags Home to win.

Thoughts: I didn't like this. Home had a win streak going on here. Insted of losing it in some big match, he loses it on a random Impact episode for no real reason. It was short and not much of note.

The Nemeth's beat up on Home after. Matt Cardona comes out to make the save. 

Gia Miller does a promo. She says she wishes she could say she was surprised by Tessa wasting no time and attacking her after Victory Road. She says she's not. She says she's glad Tessa Blanchard attacked her. She says she will do what she said she would do. She says Tessa thinks she knows her but she doesn't know the first thing about her. Gia says she knows everything about Tessa. Gia says she's not a world champ but is someone who was pushed too far. She says all she cares about is beating her within an inch of her life, not winning or losing. She says only then will she know who Gia is. 

Tasha Steelz vs Alisha Edwards

Both have their whole factions with them. TS pushes her then is taken down and hit. Alisha hits more forearms then thesz presses her with more shots. Alisha pounds on her in the corner then chops her. 

Alisha hits more chops. John Skylar trips Alisha then TS back elbows her. TS foot chokes Alisha. TS snapmares her then PK's her. Alisha hits running lariats then back elbows her in the corner. Alisha low crossbodies her in the corner for 2. 

TS jawbreakers her then falcon arrows her for 2. TS superkicks her for 2. Hotch gets on the apron. Eddie pulls him down. The 2 factions shove each other outside. TS misses a kendo stick shot on Alisha. Alisha hits her in the gut with it. Alisha pedigrees her and wins.

Thoughts: The kendo stick shot was a little unnecessary, but I liked it otherwise. Alisha was aggressive here and they made it look like a fight. They kept it short and simple and it worked.

TS attacks Alisha from behind after. Alisha gets the edge with mounted shots and TS retreats. The two factions stand off. 

Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford talk. Tess says she became a superstar internationally and came back to TNA after training with George South. She says Gia wanted to be trained by her trainer as she idolized her. She says Gia realized she wasn't cut out for this business then cried and went to Mike Jackson's school. Tessa says Mike's school was a joke. She says Gia's pathetic and she's terrified of what she will do to her. She says she's that same scared little girl who couldn't hack it. Tessa tells her to pack up her things, hit the rod and she'll forget this happened.

They talk about NXT Showdown this week.

George Iceman talks before the next match. He says to shut your mouth and show some respect for The Elegance Brand.

TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Title Match - The Elegance Brand (Heather By Elegance & M By Elegance) (c) vs. The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay)

HBE = Heather By Elegance

I can't say I like The Elegance Brand's chances here with Ash out. The Brand are waving checkered flags for some reason.

HBE goes for a shot and is hit. Jess shoulders her over. HBE takes a double hiptoss for 2. HBE forearms her. M pump kicks Jess in the corner for 2. Cass shoulders over M. M hip attacks Jess for 2.

Jess headscissors M down. HBE is tagged in. Her head is banged off the buckles. HBE boots her in the corner and foot chokes her. Jess stomps on HBE in the corner.

M is thrown in. Jess and Cass hit stereo corner attacks then pose. HBE is grabbed by the hair and thrown in. Cass is held in the corner and hit from behind. M stomps Cass in the corner. She suplexes her. We go to break and return. 

M hits a step up senton for 2. HBE bangs one of her opponents faces off the buckles then goes into the buckle face first. Jess goes for the tag but Cass is pulled off the apron. M pump kicks Jess for 2. M pulls Jess' arms back. 

Jess takes down M with some odd looking move then both go down. Cass comesin and hits lariats. She spinning heel kicks M then pounds on HBE. She jumping codebreakers HBE for 2. Cass blue thunders HBE for 2.

George Iceman argues with the ref. Cass yells at the ref and HBE eye rakes Cash. M superkicks Cass and HBE gets a 2 count on Cass. HBE throws perfume in M's eyes then Cass ducks. HBE takes a double team ripcord drop and is pinned.

Thoughts: I called that one. I do feel bad for The Brand though. Ash is out and they rushed to get those titles off of The Brand. I'm not sure what happens to them now. The structure of the match was fine but it was acceptable at best here. Heather looked like a midget compared to the other girls in the ring here. 

Overall thoughts: We had some fun stuff here. The Tommy Dreamer rally on the stage was well done. I liked seeing The Amazing Red again. I also liked Santana getting to beat up Trick after Trick ran into him. Alisha/Tasha was good. We also got a title change to close the show. I didn't like The Home Town Man losing his win streak the way he did and I am concerned about The Elegance Brand as Ash is now out and TNA rushed to get those titles off of them. I'd give the show a 6 out of 10 as it was a fun show overall with some good moments and wrestling.
