Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/tna-impact-1162025.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/tna-impact-11202025.html 

We are live in Orlando, Florida. This is the first totally new show since the last PPV. 

Mike Santana comes out. The crowd chants, "You whooped Trick". Mike says it feels good to be in front of the fans again and said it took too long. Mike talks in Spanish for a while. He said he knew this journey wouldn't be easy but he and his kid believed in him. He says after scratching and crawling, he can say he's the new champ. Mike says the roster is ready to kill it.

He says both Nic Nemeth and Kazarian are holding the Call Your Shot trophy and he knows he has a bullseye on his back. He says if you come for him, you better come with a strong fight or he will eat you alive. 

Ryan Nemeth comes out. Ryan says how dare you talk about his big brother when he's not here to defend himself. Ryan mocks him and says he did it. Ryan says when Nic gets here, he will take the title faster than he can say, "Orlando sucks". Ryan Mike says he can speak to him like a man when he wants to stop chewing his brother's jockstrap. Ryan goes to hit him and is stopped. Mike asks what are we doing.

Mike says he's going to talk to Santino and drop Ryan. He says then he can tell his brother he didn't get the job done.

Thoughts: This was bad and awkward. I guess it was supposed to hype up tonight's match between then but it totally failed.

Gia Miller interviews Kelani Jordan. Kelani says she isn't afraid of competition and still stay champ tonight against Heather by Elegance.  She says she wishes she was wrestling Ashe By Elegance and not her buddies. Mara Sade, Lei Ying Lee and Xia Brookside come in. Mara says Kelani has the title and is acting different. Mara invites her to their locker room if she needs to let off pressure. Kelani says she won't because they aren't champs and don't understand being a champ. Xia says Lei Ying Lee says she's acting like a c*nt.

Santino Marella comes out. He brings out Ava from NXT. Ava said each brand earned each other's respect at NXT/TNA Showdown. She said they gave the wrestling world something they won't forget. Ava says there's more matches, opportunities and unforgettable moments coming. Ava says to keep watching. She says she can't be here every week but she knows someone who can - Miss NXT Arianna Grace. She says she's here to make sure things run smoothly and stay civil. Santino then says to enjoy the show.

Dani Luna vs Indi Hartwell

Indi takes her down and hits mounted shots. Indi hits forearms and euros. Indi blocks a sunset flip and hits an elbow drop. Indi goes up and over then side slams her for 2. Indi hits chops. Dani htis corner spears. Indi is put on the top rope and Dani springboard lariats her.

Dani hits forearms. Dani overhead suplexes her then sliding lariats her. Indi hurricanrana's her then lariats her twice. They go outside and Indi spinebusters her on the floor. Indi hits an elbow drop off the buckles for 2. Dani rolls Indi into the ropes then flying kicks her. Dani throws someone off of a chair outside and grabs the chair. Indi facekicks her down inside. Indi then chairs her multiple times and is DQ'd.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good as expected and had a stupid moment with Indi getting herself DQ'd for no real reason. It wasn't even like Dani was really heelish to her anything. 

Eric Young is hanging out signs outside, saying the cleanse is coming. He asks why people won't listen to him and he says to listen to the truth. He says the truth is coming and gets a fan to say it. He says the truth is almost here and the cleanse is here to set you free.

Indi Hartwell does a promo. She says two can play the game with chairs and challenges Dani to a No DQ match at Turning Point.

The System come out. Eddie says they were part of history in the hardcore war at the last PPV. He says you learn to appreciate the people who go to war with you in those matches and singles out Alisha. He says she got slammed into thumbtacks but kept fighting. He says Bound for Glory was personal as he lived near the building and his family was there. 

Moose says they proved Alisha is hardcore. Moose said they proved they are family and said they proved why you always trust the system. 

JDC says he just got married 2 months ago and said Tommy Dreamer wore a Ribera jacket. He says him and his wife decided he's retiring in January after Genesis. He said he's grateful for his last few years in TNA. He says he will help The System figure out who takes his spot.

The lights go out and The Rascalz come out (Reed, Wentz and Trey). Reed says they can't let JDC retire. Trey says they need to have a match. Moose says there's 4 of The System and 3 of The Rascalz. Wentz says they are in Orlando and know a must see kid who lives on The Westside. He says they have been talking and decided they are a family. Wentz says it'll be 4 Rascalz vs The System in an 8-man tag. JDC asks for Santino to make it happen.

Ali says they don't but The Hardy's do. 

We see clips from earlier before the show of AJ Francis sending BDE through a table with a chokeslam.

BDE is interviewed. Gia says BDE assaulted him. He says he's beaten up and sore but he's grateful. He said he came to TNA for opportunities like this. Leon Slater comes in and says he's sorry he couldn't help him. I think Rich Swann walks in. He says AJ Francis will unalive him and says he's just a streamer, not a wrestler. Leon says Ric is a former X-Division champ. Rich says the title would look good around his waist and challenges him for tomorrow. Leon agrees.

Thoughts: It was a shorter on here. The finish was great but there wasn't a lot to this.

Ced fights of Skyler after and is double arm chokeslammed by Agent Zero. Zero is then lariated over the top. Ali is hit with a twist of fate. 

We get a video on Mila Moore. She says she didn't grow up watching wrestling. She watched in college when a friend passed away. She said she watched their women's PPV, felt they were larger than life and wanted to feel like that. She talks about training with Ace Steel. She says she improved a lot over the last year and has her first TNA match a year ago.

She said her stomach dropped when she saw Jada Stone get signed before her. She said she wanted to cry when she found out she got signed. She said she wondered what took them so long and asks if there's anyone better than her?

TNA Knockouts Title - Kelani Jordan (c) vs Heather by Elegance

Thoughts: I think they messed up something near the finish as the spot where M had HBE over the ropes didn't look right. Kelani was fine here but I thought it was just average. They also botched a spinning ddt spot here.

The Iinspiration do a promo. They say they will put their tag titles on the line in a triple threat tomorrow. They say step up, step back or step aside. Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard do a promo. Tess says tomorrow is a turning point for the entire division. She says The Iinspiration can pose after they lose.

We get an Elijah concert in the ring. He introduces himself and plays guitar. He asks who wants to walk with Elijah. He says the last time we saw him, he was strong enough to smash Nic Nemeth with a guitar at Bound for Glory. He said he didn't want him to ruin Mike Santana's big night. He said he had to get surgery to get his tricep re-attached. He said it messed up his guitar playing.

He says getting injured puts things in perspective. He says what we do tomorrow is never promised. He says you gotta do what you gotta do to get to the top. He says he wrote a song and has gone through some changes. 

He sings a version of Amazing Grace. He then sings "In TNA, We Walk This Way". Mustafa Ali interrupts. Ali says no one cares about his stupid songs. He comes out and challenges The Hardy's and Cedric Alexander to a match. Elijah says he got dropped tonight and ruined his concert. Elijah challenges Ali for tonight. Ali hits him with a microphone and drops him. Ali then breaks a guitar over Elijah's repaired arm.

TNA World Title - Mike Santana (c) vs Ryan Nemeth

Ryan gets on the mic before the match and says he demands you cheer for him. He tries to get a "Let's go Ryan" chant started. Ryan says he's a celebrity. Ryan yells at the crowd more and says he's done with them.

Ryan attacks him and beats up on him in the corner. Ryan hits a corner spear. Mike goes up and over. Mike enzugiri's him then Ryan dropkicks him. Mike sentons him. Mike corner cannonballs him. Nic Nemeth then arrives in the back and is jumped by someone in a hood. 

Mike Santana is then jumped by Brooks Jensen, Lexis King, High Ryze, Stacks, Robert Stone and Charlie Dempsey. Steve Maclin, The Home Town Man, The Rascalz come out to help. Dempsey armbars Mike. The TNA crew are left laying and the NXT stars stand over top of Mike. 

Thoughts: I didn't see that one coming. This match didn't get a lot of time and got interrupted by interference. That was the best they could come up with from NXT to beat up Mike?

Frankie Kazarian comes out with the Call Your Shot Trophy. He wants to cash in. The ref says no. 

TNA World Title - Mike Santana (c) vs Frankie Kazarian

Kaz hits a dead eye on Mike for 2. Mike blocks Kaz's chickenwing and facekicks him. Kaz rolls him up and pins him.

Thoughts: WHAT? What the heck was this and why? I'm no big Mike Santana fan but this is peak LOLTNA here. This promotion absolutely loves to make their faces look bad and this was yet another example. 

Overall thoughts: All I can do is shake my head at this episode. That ending was so bad and the rest of the show wasn't much better. Just LOLTNA. We also had some bad finishes here and some weak last second work to try and build up the PPV tomorrow. This promotion sucks. I'd give this a 3 out of 10.
