Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/tna-impact-422026.html

We are in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tom Hanifan and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary.

Santino Marella and Daria Rae are in the ring. They bring out Eddie Edwards and Moose for a contract signing. Eddie says his and Mike's paths were similar in TNA as they came in as tag wrestlers and fought for every inch. He says when things got tough, he stayed and Mike left. Eddie says he carried the company on his back and became the foundation of TNA. He says Mike found out the grass doesn't grow so green in the shadows of the inner circle. Eddie talks about the titles he won. He says he will become a 3x TNA champ when he beats him. Eddie signs the contract. 

Mike says Eddie is right and says Eddie stayed while he left. Mike says he left to test himself and find out who he was. He says his heart was still in TNA. He says this is where he built and rebuilt himself. He says Eddie stayed as he was comfortable and complacent. Mike says he had something to prove. Mike says he turned down more money than Eddie will touch in his life and opportunities Eddie only dreams about. 

Mike says Eddie likes the call himself the foundation and says he took a sledgehammer to it, breaking it in half. He says he rebuilt it himself. He says Eddie will realize he didn't lose to any man, he lost to a man who bets on himself every night. He says he lost to a man who does it for his fans, the locker room and the grandest prize. Eddie says Mike's fans and family won't be in the ring at Rebellion. Mike says he will drop him if he mentions his daughter.  

Mike says Eddie's wife proved she has bigger balls than him when she left him for Moose. Cedric Alexander then jumps Eddie. Leon Slater comes down and helps Mike. Ced is thrown out by the faces. Leon corkscrew dives on the heels over the post. 

AJ Francis talks. He says he enrolled in the Team 3D Wrestling Academy and was told the Cleveland Browns wanted to sign him. He says he told them he'd rather make nothing in wrestling than sign for The Browns. He says Nic Nemeth stole opportunities from him and he attacked him, stealing his health. He says he did it and will put him out of commission for good at Rebellion. AJ says he's the best man in the business of money, money, money.

Thoughts: It was a big upset here though we know Dani is gone, so not really. Jada had a good showing with a bunch of flying and she matched up well with Dani. I liked the match and thought it was decent.

Tasha Steelz attacks Jada from behind and pounds on her after. Tasha hits a nasty gotch style piledriver totally on Jada's head.

The fight starts as the faces enter. Dutch is sent into the post. Matt hits Vincent with a title. Matt hits a side effect on Vincent. Vince takes a double back elbow. Vince is held for a Jeff legdrop over the bottom rope. Dutch is sent into the steps.

Jeff clubs on Vince on a table. Matt tries to elbow drop Vince through the table but Vince moves and Matt goes through it (it doesn't count as an elimination). Dutch bodyblocks Jeff and pounds on him in the corner. Vince foot chokes Jeff in the corner. 

We go to break and return. Matt spits something in Dutch's face. Dutch is double teamed outside. Dutch's head is banged off the apron edge. Jeff brings a ladder out. Jeff hits Vince with a broom.

We see The System watching in the back. The heels try to suplex the faces off the apron through tables. Vince and Jeff double clothesline each other.

Jeff's head is banged off the post. Jeff is put on a table. Dutch gets on the 2nd rope and Matt grabs him. The faces then throw Dutch through a table. Dutch is eliminated.

Matt is on the apron and Vince pushes him off through a table. Vince low flatliners Jeff inside. Vince misses a top rope swanton. Jeff misses a top rope swanton. Matt hits a twist of fate on Vincent on the floor. Matt bites Vince. Vince is put on a table and Jeff swantons him off the buckles through a table. Vince is eliminated and The Hardy's win.

Thoughts: I don't understand The Hardy's winning here. The Righteous need established somehow and it ain't through losses like this. What's really the point for them going forward? The main was okay enough but nothing too great or memorable. The Hardy's were definitely playing it safe here. It didn't get a ton of time and was mostly people going into the steps, posts and through tables.

Dutch rams The Hardy's through a table in the corner after. 

Overall thoughts: It was an easy show to watch. As always, there was nothing great here but either the tables match or Dani/Jada were the best things on here. They did the best they could in getting enough stuff for the PPV on this show and did a fairly good job of squeezing in a lot of stuff in a short time frame. They really covered just about every match here. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. The show had a little something for everyone and was good.
