TNA Impact 2/19/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/tna-impact-2122026.html

We are in Nashville, Tennessee. Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary.

George Iceman does the intro for his team. He says the only ten's he sees in Tennessee is The Elegance Brand.

Ash is on commentary here and the whole Brand is out there.

HBE elbows her in the gut then is hit with a side slam for 2. Indi goes up top and M By Elegance pushes her to the apron. HBE low dropkicks Indi off the apron.

HBE stomps Indi. She snapmares her and kicks her in the back. HBE trips Indi into the buckles. HBE jumping stomps her for 2. HBE pounds on her then chokes her on the ropes. M then gets some cheapshots in.

Indi blockes a seated spanish fly and HBE lands hard on the mat. Indi top rope elbow drops HBE's back. Ash distracts Indi then Indi hits a hurt's donut and pins her.

Thoughts: It was the usual sloppy Indi match. The heels were pretty ridiculous here and poor Heather almost hurt herself off the seated moonsault miss. This was ugly.

We see Steve Maclin trying to enter the building. Security stops him and Tom Hannifan then comes out to stop him. Tom asks Steve what he's thinking. Tom says Steve assaulted Mike Santana at the PPV. He says if Steve tries to enter, he will be arrested. Steve says he wants to speak to the entire world and asks Tom to get him in the building. Tom says he will see what he can do and Steve says he will wait on his phone call. Steve had his face shaved here.

Mike Santana comes out. He says Maclin attacked him when he wasn't looking at the PPV and wasn't man enough to look him in the face. Mike says he knows Maclin and what he's trying to do. He says the more Steve knocks on death's door, eventually he will answer, step to him like a man and drop his b!tch @ss. 

Mike calls Leon Slater out and Leon comes out. Mike says Leon was out and had to deal with Daria giving him the idea for Option C. He asked him if he could trust him and Leon said he would have his back. Mike said he did have his back. Mike says he didn't have his back and left him out here by himself. Mike says he's man enough to admit it and apologize.

Mike says Leon ended up pinning a former world champ. Leon says he knows things can be crazy here but he pinned a former world champ in the ring and says he pinned Nic Nemeth. Nic and Ryan Nemeth come out. Ryan starts to talk and Mike threatens him.

Nic says Mike and Leon are champs but both got lucky. Nic says Leon has a target on his back. Mike says it wasn't luck, Leon pinned him because he's one of the best in the world and the youngest in charge. Nic says he's the best man alive and the draw around here. Leon says no one wants to hear this. He says the fans would rather see Mike and Leon. Nic asks if they want some and Leon says yes. Leon says they can do this right now.

Daria Rae comes out. Daria tells everyone to shut up and says she makes the matches around here, not the wrestlers. Daria tells them to get out of the ring as a match is scheduled.

Thoughts:
Daria's gimmick sucks. She makes all the men look like absolute punks and that's not good when these guys are supposed to be all big and bad.

The System talk. Brian says Moose couldn't stay away at the PPV. He says Moose just made a mistake. Bear agrees and says this is Moose's final warning. Cedric says he's Moose's kryptonite and tells him to accept defeat. Eddie says Moose was the dead weight so they dropped him and it's his time to move on. Eddie says all the gold is in their sights and everyone will learn you can't beat The System.

Daria Rae is on the phone. Frankie Kazarian goes up to her. Kaz says AMC needs to hear him on commentary and asks if he can be on commentary for the Mike/Leon vs Nemeth's match. She agrees. 

Arianna Grace talks before the next match. She says No Surrender was amazing and everyone was talking about her at the end of the night as she walked out Knockouts champ. She says you don't have to like it but have to accept it. Grace says daddy got her match but she won the match. he says she's sorry her dad let her play her like a fiddle. She says wrestling is about using leverage and power to get what you want. She says she used everything and says Stacks will use rematch clause and win his title back. She says they will solidify themselves as the most powerful couple in wrestling.

Thoughts
: It was one of S&S' better matches. They moved well and did a bunch of double teams. Rich and BDE made for a good team and the two worked well together. I'd be up for seeing this again. I don't love BDE's team losing in their team debut.

The System say they outnumber them then The Righteous walk in. Vince says balance always finds itself and says if they got something stirring, they are all here. Brian says they aren't sure The Hardy's can trust The Righteous. 

The System leaves. Dutch apologizes for the miscommunication at No Surrender and says he will keep apologizing until they gain their trust. Matt asks how they will gain his trust and Dutch says anyway they want. Vince says they will make sure Daria has her foot in the door before it closes.

Elayna Black comes out. She says she was close to getting a title shot then Mara Sade eliminated her and stole her moment. EB says everyone has it out for her. She says she deserves to be the top star and not anyone else. She says she was the only one who should have been walking out with the title. She says if Mara wants to explain herself, she'd like to hear it. She says the title will be hers. She says Mara needs to come out and explain herself.

Mara Sade comes out. Mara says she thought they were friends. Mara says they came from the same place in NXT but aren't there anymore. Mara says they are in the same place again in TNA. EB says the difference between them is that she sacrificed to get here while Mara sucks up, fit the optics and was handed the opportunity. She say she earned this and will be the next Knockouts champ, not her. She says she's an industry plant who doesn't deserve a second here. Mara says EB hates her as she is a go-getter. 

Mara says she's not bitter. She says she loves the fans. She tells EB to step up and prove she's a fraud. EB says she will. She says she's an obstacle course in her way that she will overcome. Mara tells her any time and any place.

Thoughts: It was a decent segment. Black was okay on the mic here and helped carry this.

We are told Steve Maclin can explain himself next week.

Guitar Case Casket Match - Elijah vs Mustafa Ali

Eli facekicks him and throws him out. Ali trips him on the apron. Ali hits him in the gut and back with a chair. Eli's head is banged off the post. Ali chairs Eli. Eli jumping knees him. Eli misses a ukulele shot and it breaks on the post. Ali sets up 3 chairs across from 3 chairs outside. Eli back body drops him off the ramp onto the chairs and Ali lands hard. We go to break and return.

Thoughts: It was a wild one. Ali took some awful looking moves as usual here. He took a back body drop off the ramp through a 3v3 set up chairs and took a guitar shot to the face. This was a bit wasted on TV as breaks interrupted it and it's a shame we didn't get it on PPV instead. I liked what we got here and it was an entertaining main.

Overall thoughts: This was one of the better AMC episodes so far. The main was good. Swann/BDE had a good match and Tessa/Jodi mostly went well. The opening match was ugly though and Daria Rae's gimmick of tearing down the men isn't working. I don't like what they are doing with The System, as they are not being pushed as a true force and Moose not appearing so much is really hurting his feud with them. They've also done a poor job of following up on the Kaz title run, though that shouldn't have happened in the first place. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show.
