TNA Impact 10/22/2026

TNA Impact 10/22/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/tna-impact-10152026.html

Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt are on commentary.

Daria Rae comes out to talk. She says she watched Indi and Santino ruin her show week after week. She says they developed a plan to ruin her career. She says she's the greatest authority in wrestling and has taken TNA to heights it has never been to. She says Indi would never have the title if she was here. 

Indi Hartwell comes out. Indi says welcome back, but we didn't miss you. She says Daria's time away didn't humble her and she's still the same selfish person. She says she became Knockouts champ while Daria sat home. Daria tells her to enjoy while it lasts as it won't last long. Indi asks if she will slap her and dares her to. Daria says she won't do anything as Xia Brookside has a rematch clause and will put it to the test right now. Daria says Indi won't have time change, but good luck.

TNA Knockouts Title - Indi Hartwell (c) vs Xia Brookside

Xia runs at her and clubs on her. Indi clubs on her as well. Xia thesz presses her and both hit mounted shots. Indi running lariats her. Indi euros her and facekicks her off the apron. Xia grabs the title outside and Indi facekicks her. Indi then holds the title up.

Xia rams Indi's arm into the apron edge. Indi is sent shouldder first into the steps. Xia stomps Indi's hand into the steps. Xia pulls Indi's arm around the top rope. Xia whips Indi down by the arm.

Xia legdrops Indi's arm then pulls it. Xia codebreakers the arm. Xia armlocks Indi and rams her into the buckles in the corner. Indi boots her out of the corner and running lariats her. Indi spinebusters her for 2. Xia armbars her.

Xia codebreakers her for 2. Indi facekicks her then hits a hurts donut. Indi then wins.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Xia worked the arm here all throughout and Indi won. It's not a good way for Xia to lose though as she had a major advantage and got put down anyway. Indi's finisher still looks like trash.         

Apex jump Indi after. Indi takes a Z360 and a choke from Shayna.

Leon Slater says he feels like a broken record as he keeps saying he's the youngest TNA champ of all time. He says he's about to walk into his first defense. He says he has a lot of respect for Trey Miguel and says they are similar. He says he knows Trey will put it all on the line and he's counting on it. He says if Trey isn't walking in with that energy then he couldn't be more wrong. Trey Miguel walks in, acts serious and laughs with him. 

Trey says he's serious and he can't wait to make more history with him. Leon says people won't forget their match but says let's go watch Hotch kill it tonight. Trey asks if Leon knows how many 1v1 chances he had at the title. Trey says it was one and it was a long time ago. He says he doesn't know if or when he will get another shot and he will make sure he walks out of Destination X with the title.

Xia Brookside cries in the back about losing. She says she doesn't know who she is anymore or who she is supposed to be. She then finds a white flower in her hand.

TNA X-Division Title #1 Contendership Four Way Match - Rich Swann vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Fabian Aichner vs. KC Navarro


KC headscissors Fab. Fab springboard double crossbodies his opponents. Ced germans Fab and flying corner forearms him. Ced basement dropkicks him in the back of the neck. Ced takes a double pump kick then Fab takes a double superkick. KC superkicks Rich. KC spinning ddt's Ced and Ric flips onto KS. We go to break and return.

KC is in the electric chair and RS top rope diving bulldogs him there. RS superkicks Fab then takes a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. KC headscissors Fab into the ropes and hits a 305 kick. KC is thrown off a spinning ddt attempt. 

RS backhands, leg kicks and spin kicks Ced. Ced high michinoku drivers RS. Fab double jump moonsaults Ced for 2. Fab pops up KC and KC kind of la silla's Ced off of it. RS somehow ends up on KC for 2. 

RS enzugiri's Ced on the apron and Ced STO's him on the apron. KC 2nd rope twisting flip dives RS and Ced. Fab walks up the buckles and plancha's all 3 opponents. The System come in and Brian Myers lariats Fab. Bear Bronson black hole slams Fab. Ced top rope moonsaults Fab and pins him.

Thoughts:
It didn't get as much time as it should have. They had some sloppy moments here that brought it down. I'd still say it was acceptable and brought some excitement with all the flying.

Amazing Red comes out after. He holds his title up at Ced and they talk to each other. 

Agent Zero and Tasha Steelz talk. Tasha says Order 4 is finished and says everything Ali built is gone. She says there's one thing left to do and puts her hand out. They shake hands and Tasha says mission accomplished. Tasha tells him good luck to him and the future and go kill 'em.

TNA Injury Report

Ricky Sosa has a back injury from the powerbomb onto the bridged ladder last week. Trey Miguel has the night off after wrestling at the Call Your Shot gauntlet. Jason Hotch is cleared.

AJ Francis tries to make Expressions feel better in the back. He says it's Ex's fault they lost the match last week but it was impressive that he fought The Hardy's in his first match. AJ says they need to let him run the show. Mila Moore comes in and laughs at AJ running the show. AJ says she doesn't appreciate tall, dark and handsome men. John Skyler comes in and calls him a dumb@ss. He says he will beat him on Impact next week. Expresions then tries to get Mila to hook up with AJ. John grabs Ex's arm and says he might break Ex in half after he beats AJ. AJ says he will see John next week.

Avery Styles, Kaz, The Hardy's and Moose talk in the back. The Hardy's wish Avery luck and Kaz says he's got this. 

The System hype up Cedric Alexander in the back. Eddie and Alisha walk in and are questioned as to why they weren't out there. Brian says they want to know where his head is at. Eddie says they are good.

Joe Alonzo talks before his match and says welcome to Total Nonstop Alonzo. Joe says he will make Avery Styles finally pays his dues. He says he will make him clean up after the fans, takes down the ring and puts away them chairs (some wrestler on the indies complained about him not doing this). He says the people hate him because he's him and says he'd hate him too if he wasn't Joe Alonzo.

Avery Styles vs Joe Alonzo

Kaz is with Avery.

Joe wristlocks AS. AS side headlock takeovers him. Joe headscissors him and they stand off. Joe boots and clubs him. Joe side headlocks him. AS dropkicks him. AS spin kicks him in the gut.

Thoughts: Avery did all of AJ's moves here for the most part, though he doesn't do them quite as good. What we got wasn't bad, but I'd like to see Avery do his own stuff a bit.

The Elegance Brand talk in the back. M says Ash isn't here so she is appointing herself the new leader of The Brand. She says she got off the phone with a PR guy and will be on the cover of a magazine. Elayna Black comes in. She says she has all the time for this stuff but didn't have time for 5 more minutes to be a real champ. M says she didn't have that time to waste on her. Jada Stone comes in. She says she wasn't 100% and will go through anyone to get her hands on the title. M says she wants Jada next and she doesn't have to go through anyone. Elayna isn't happy. Jada says she will give Elayna a shot when she wins the Knockouts TV Title. 

Santino Marella says he has Destination X news. He says he has to be quick as Daria Rae is back. He announces a Knockouts Ultimate X and a men's Ultimate X match. He then says the 2026 World X-Cup will happen (two 4-way's then a singles match between the two winners). Daria Rae comes in, looks at him and leaves.

Allie and Kiera Hogan come out. Allie says Bound For Glory didn't go the way they wanted as they lost the tag titles. She says they won't feel sorry for themselves and Allie says they want their rematch. Allie says they will come back stronger and better and are coming for their titles. 

Hogan takes the mic from her and asks if she's finished. Hogan says she's tired of hearing her talk. Hogan mocks her speech. She says Allie walks around like everything is okay and sweet when it's not. Hogan says they lost because of Allie. Hogan says she was happy to come back to TNA but is tired of someone staring in her face while she carries the weight. She says she now knows why Rosemary got sent to the santirium. She says she's soft and weak and has always been the weakest link. Hogan says she came back to be a champ, not to babysit her. Hogan says they are done.

Hogan says if she wants it, she can get it. Tasha Steelz then attacks Allie from behind. Allie is double teamed in the corner. Hogan step up leg drops Allie. Tasha top rope splashes Allie.  The lights go out and Shotzi Blackheart comes out. Shotzi germans Tasha and  Tasha pulls Hogan out. 

Thoughts: Random turns are sadly a TNA staple and it happened again here. And TNA like usual, instead of finding someone young or new to bring in, brings in another ex-WWE wrestler.

Harley Hudson goes up to The Righteous. Vincent says he feels like the wheels are just spinning and he's sick of it. Vincent says she needs to make a decision. Hudson says she's grateful but Vincent says that's not what they are looking for. Dutch says they need an answer next week as to whether she is joining or not.

We see clips of Elijah attacking Nic Nemeth after last week's show in the back. Security quickly intervenes. Nic is thrown onto a massage table then thrown into an exit door.

Elijah does a promo. He says Nic Nemeth cost him his shot last week at the TNA Title and for what? He says Nic will reap what he sows and he has planted a serious problem. He says he's now Nic's. Ryan Nemeth comes in and asks Elijah if he plays guitar. He says he plays guitar in a new movie and says he might learn something if he watches it. Ryan says Nic told him that he will kick his @ss. Elijah says he guesses he will have to kick both their @sses.

TNA International Title - Jason Hotch (c) vs Mustafa Ali

1st Fall - Ali shoves him and they go into the corner. They shove each other. Ali side headlocks him. Ali shoulders him over. Jason side headlocks him and shoulders him over. Ali side headlocks him then shoulders him over.

Jason gets chopped then Jason dropkicks Ali out. Jason springboard dropkicks him. Ali's head is banged off the steps. Ali double throat thrusts him. Jason gets on the 2nd rope and is german'd on the apron. 

We go to break and return. Ali rolls in and is hit with a ddt. Jason hits shots on him. They trade pins and Ali rolls him up. Ali pins him. Ali wins the first fall.

2nd Fall - Jason hits punches and Ali double throat thrusts him. Jason spin kicks him in the face. Jason topes him outside. Jason 2nd rope moonsaults him outside. Ali's head is banged off the apron. Ali grabs the International Title and hits Jason with it. Ali is DQ'd. Jason Hotch wins the second fall.

Ali misses a top rope 450. Ali is sent face first into the 2nd buckle. Jason hits a GTH (reverse AA into a knee to the face) and pins him. Jason wins the fall and match.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but wasn't too great or anything. The 2/3 falls format didn't really help this one and they didn't have that much time for it.

Leon Slater comes out and is happy about Jason winning. Leon says he remembered when he told Jason he didn't need Ali. Leon says to look at him now. Leon says people like them were told they have to wait their turn and wait. Leon says that day is now and the world is theirs. The announcers say the young stars are taking over TNA and the future is bright.

Syx does a video and tells The Hardy's to step into their world next week as they will be waiting.

Overall thoughts
: Indi/Xia was acceptable as was the X-Division Title match. That match could have been a lot better though. Avery/Alonzo wasn't bad and Avery did all of his dad's spots. The main was also acceptable. There was nothing must see here and the show definitely light on starpower here. I'd give it a 6 out of 10. The show was alright but there's really nothing you'd need to go see here.
