Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/01/tna-impact-1292026.html

Tom Hannian and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary.

We get a new intro song.

Trey Miguel vs Adam Brooks

Arianna Grace is on commentary for this. Adam is from Australia and did the Noah N-1 a few years ago. He does an inset promo. He says he has competed all over the world and is here to step in the ring with Trey. He says Trey just came back but says they will talk about him.

Trey head flips out of a wristlock then reverses it. Adam takes him down by the arm. Trey walks up the buckles, flips and armdrags him. Trey bangs Adam's arm off the top, sweeps it and basement dropkicks him. Trey superkicks him from the apron and 2nd rope moonsaults him outside. 

Adam up kicks him from the mat and pulls him into the buckles. Adam chokes him on the 2nd buckle and puts his boot in his face. Trey euros him. Trey springboards and is hit with a forearm. Adam stomps Trey and knees him in the back. Trey jawbreakers him and Adam back elbows him. Adam basement dropkicks him for 2.

Adam running kicks him in the corner and Trey poisonrana's him. Trey lightning spirals him and wins.

Thoughts
: It was acceptable. Trey was a bit better here than usual. Adam is new to TNA. He's got a good look though he's kind of a simple heel. They do need some new faces here but what you saw in this is all he really does.

Stacks comes out and hits Trey with his title belt after. Arianna Grace yells at him for doing that.

Indi Hartwell and The Angel Warriors are interviewed. Lee talks in her language. Xia tries to translate. Indi says she knows what she said and says Ash will regret combing back. Xia asks how Indi knows Chinese. Xia says they will win as they are always on the same page. Lee says she's not just coming for Ash, they are coming for her brand.

The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) vs Tommy Two Scoops and TW3

The crowd loves Tommy's name. Vince lariats Tommy and hits shots on him in the corner. Dutch uppercuts Tommy. Tommy is whipped into a black hole slam. TW hits shots on Dutch and Dutch asks for more. Dutch catches his crossbody, slams him and Vince low flatliners TW.

Vince struts and falls backwards on him. Dutch legdrops TW. We get "Two Scoops" chants. Vince hits orange sunshine on TW and Dutch pins him.

Thoughts:
It was all squash here. Tommy Two Scoops was over big and the crowd wanted a lot more than they got of him. 

Vincent gets on the mic after. He says they don't want a war with The Hardy's. He says you don't learn anything from wars. He says they want to stand aside from them and not across. Vincent says The Hardy's have different pasts but the same ceiling.

The Hardy's do a promo. Matt wants to know why The Righteous talks about teaming with them. Matt says they beat them and are moving past them. Jeff says he likes some of the things they say but it doesn't make sense. Jeff says maybe they want to form a faction. The System walk in. Brian says they should be worried about The System taking the titles. Jeff gets grabbed and thrown. Matt is hit with a briefcase from behind. Matt is held for punches. Eddie asks when will they learn that they can't beat The System.

Frankie Kazarian shakes Daria Rae's hand in the back then comes out. Kaz then comes out and talks. He says he can't stomach Mike Santana wearing his title. He says Mike is a warrior and one of the toughest men he was in the ring with. He says he's not a king like him and doesn't rep the company with dignity and class. He says he had a surgically repaired hand and it couldn't stop him from putting on one of the greatest matches in TNA history. He said he gave the fight of a lifetime in the texas death match. He says Mike beat a 1 armed man. He says he will be champ again. He says Daria Rae assured him things will change around here. Mike says even with one arm, there's not a man here he couldn't beat the p!ss out of.

Kaz then talks trash to the crowd. Elijah comes out and walks past Kaz.

Elijah & Jada Stone vs. Order 4 (Mustafa Ali & Tasha Steelz)

The heels have their full crew with them. TS pushes Jada back on the lock up. TS chops Jada. Jada goes up and over then pushes her in the corner.

Jada top rope moonaults Ali and Skylar outside. Hotch sweeps Jada on the apron. Jada superkicks him. Ali dropkicks Jada through the ropes. 

Ali pushes Eli into the steps. Jada trips Ali into the ropes then handspring backflip stunners him for 2. TS runs into Jada's codebreaker. Ali tombstones Jada and puts TS on her for the pin.

Thoughts: I didn't like all the intergender stuff here. It's just not believable. With that being said, Jada finally got to show off and got over here with her flying. The stuff she did here is why she got signed.

Santino Marella talks to Arianna Grace. Grace says she and Stacks had a fight and she made a mess. She says she feels like what she does is not good enough and she won't be as good of a wrestler as him. Santino asks if he can do anything to help her and she says he can give her a title match. Santino says it won't look fair. Grace says he can do it to make up for missing her 16th birthday party. Santino says he will make it happen and she hugs him.

Daria Rae talks about the 2/13 No Surrender Card. It'll be Stacks vs Trey Miguel in a title match, The Hardy's and The Righteous vs Order 4, Santana/Slater vs Nic Nemeth/Eddie Edwards. Santino walks in and says Lei Ying Lee will fight Arianna for the Knockouts Title. Daria accuses him of nepotism. She then spots Steve Maclin and asks why he's here. Santino says he has tenure and is here to see friends. We then see him shake hands with Home Town Man and Swann. Maclin talks to the camera. He says leaving sucks and says this place gave him a home. He talks about being champ here. He says he loves this place. He says it's full of people nobody believed in and they overcame everything. He says he's so happy he is leaving the place with his head held high and a tear in his eye. He says you can give everything to something and it will do what it's gonna do. Maclin then talks to Santana. Santana says Maclin was the first person to welcome him back here. He says going toe to toe with him helped him realize he had what it takes. He thanks him for what he did for this place and thanks him for being so selfless. They hug and Santana says he will see him down the road. Maclin then hits Santana from behind and throws him into the rollaway door. Maclin pounds on him and security breaks it up. Maclin yells and says he is selfless and says something about it being Santana's problem.

Thoughts: Well that was an interesting twist. I'm curious to see where things go with this.

The announcers talk about the Maclin situation and Tom isn't pleased with Maclin.

Tessa Blanchard vs. Rachel Ley

Ley was also on NWA Powerrr this week so she's doing well. Tessa has Crawford and Mila with her.

Tess waistlock takedowns Ley and taunts her. Tess wristlocks her. Ley cartwheels out and wristlocks her. Tess throws her down by the hair. Tess chokes her on the middle rope. Ley is thrown into the buckles and goes down. Tess clubs her and forearms her. Tess knees her in the gut. Tess dropkicks her against the 2nd rope.Tess hits mounted forearms. 

Ley hits shots to the gut and Tess lariats her. Ley boots her out fo the corner and misses a top rope moonsault. Tess hammerlock ddt's her and pins her.

Thoughts
: It was all squash here. Ley sadly didn't get much in but she's someone I'd like to see TNA take a shot on.

Eric Young talks to BDE outside. BDE says he's not interested in the cleanse. EY asks if he's not interested in the truth or being part of something bigger. He says BDE has reach and power and says the truth could be powerful. He says he could see that this place chews people up and spits them out. EY offers him the opportunity of a lifetime. BDE goes to turn it down. EY gets up in his face and says he's giving him the gift of time. He says next week, BDE will give him his answer and says it better be the right one. 

George Iceman does the intro for his team as usual.

The Angel Warriors (Lei Ying Lee & Xia Brookside) & Indi Hartwell vs. The Elegance Brand (Ash By Elegance, Heather By Elegance & M By Elegance)

This is Ash By Elegance's return. The heels having Breaking Bad themed gear on.

Ash teases going against Lee but tag out. M tries karate on Lee. Lee throws her down by the leg for 1. M takes a double clothesline, a PK and a senton. Xia side headlocks M. Xia side headlock takeovers her. M headscissors her on the mat. Xia headstands out and side headlocks her.

HBE top rope dropkicks Indi. Xia top rope plancha's the heels outside. Xia runs into Mr. Elegance. He grabs her. Goerge tries to throat glitter at Xia but misses and hits Mr. Elegance. Xia then rolls HBE and pins her in the ring.

Thoughts:
The finishing stretch was weak here. They did a poor job all around with the glitter spot then Xia just got the pin after. The Brand were pretty bombastic as usual. Heather and Indi barely did anything here.

The Brand beats up on Xia after.  

Next week's show has Nic Nemeth vs Rich Swann and Sade vs Ryan Nemeth in a street fight.

Mike Santana comes out to talk. He said he told everyone what it meant to carry the weight of the title a few weeks ago and said it meant he had a target on his head. He said the last thing he expected was for the title to turn Maclin from one of his best friends into his worst enemy. He tells Maclin to stab him in the chest, not his back next time so he doesn't look like a b!tch.

The System come in and beat up Mike Santana. The Hardy's make the save. Moose pops up behind The System. He beats up on The System and sends them out one by one. Moose powerbombs Cedric onto them outside. 

Overall thoughts: It was a weaker show star power wise with Elijah being the only bigger name in action. I felt like this show was an audition as they had a bunch of new people in to do jobs who might get signed in the future. The opener was okay. The Righteous had a squash where Tommy Two Scoops got over based on his name alone. We had an intergender tag match which I didn't care for but it did get Jada Stone some shine and put her over. Tessa won a squash. The girls got the final match of the night. It was messy towards the end and it had Ash's big return. We also had a weird turn with Steve Maclin attacking Santana and we had Moose return to get some revenge on The System. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and that may be too generous. The show has been improving since their debut but it feels like a minor league show and there's a lot of LOLTNA stuff going on here.
