Thoughts: Trey had a decent showing here. The break kind of ate this one up a little and I feel like we didn't see all that much of it. John and Jason tried to avoid each other here.  It didn't get enough time.

Mustafa Ali does a promo from the hospital. He says Jason told him he'd put him in the dirt and got close to it. He says Jason fractured his ribs when he dived off the cage onto him. He says it's painful and said the only more painful thing is someone disrespecting his wife and daughter and getting away with it. Ali says they have taken this too far. Ali says they should call a truce and Jason should rejoin Order 4. He says it's open arms or a call to arms.

The Righteous go up top Swann and BDE. They ask if BDE thought about what they said. Vincent says he knows BDE Wants his first big win. Swann says they want them to get out. Dutch says he will go talk to Daria and give BDE his moment in the sun. He says they will go 1v1 and maybe he wins and maybe he doesn't.

Thoughts: I wasn't shocked by M winning. This is TNA - when you have a chance to make a face lose a big match like this, you always take it. It was definitely better than the average Knockouts match and these two are clearly two of the more gifted women on the roster athletically. It never really became great but it was good effort and it was okay. Jada should have won, but that's just not what they do here.

We see Jeff Hardy is being put in an ambulance. Matt Hardy doesn't know what happened and wants to ride in the ambulance with him. Jeff is the latest guy to be attacked by the unknown person.

Indi Hartwell comes out to talk. She says she's a little p!ssed as she heard Daria Rae say she's not deserving of a title opportunity. Indi says she's been watching wrestling since she was 8. Indi says there was no Plan B and she traveled around the world for this. She says she's in her prime and won't let anyone stand in her way anymore.

Daria Rae comes out. She calls Indi mediocre. She says she can't stand people who think they deserve an opportunity over others because they idolized wrestling. She says money equals opportunities in the real world. She says she hasn't brought TNA money and tells her to take her undeserving @ss back to catering and tells her to stop disrespecting her name. Indi says she's referring to when she called her "diarrhea" on the Lockdown pre-show. 

Daria says there's consequences and Indi asks if she will fire her. Daria says she'd kick her @ss back to Kangarooland if she faced her in the ring. Indi says just because Daria's career was a failure doesn't mean she needs to ruin other's careers. Indi says she will become Knockouts champ with or without her. Daria says good luck with that. Indi then gets nailed from behind by the former Zoey Stark of WWE. Zoey hits a Z360. They call her "Zoey Serrano". Daria then introduces us to Zoey Serrano, the newest Knockout and her good friend. Zoey and Daria shake hands.

Thoughts: It's a good pick up for TNA. Zoey couldn't stay healthy but she was always good in the ring in WWE. She will be an addition around here.

Harley Hudson talks to Indi Hartwell. They complain about Daria Rae. Indi says Daria messed with the wrong one and she's not going anywhere. Hudson says she has her back. Xia Brookside comes in and mocks them. Xia tells Daria told Indi she won't ever get a Knockouts Title shot. Indi backs her up. Santino comes in and says he can make the match. Daria Rae comes in and says she went to the board about Indi's verbal and physical assaults. She says no title match for her. Santino says he can make a tag match with Indi/Hudson vs Xia/Zoey.

Leon corkscrew dives on Ryan over the post. Nic superkicks RS for 2. RS powerbombs Nic off a fameasser attempt for 2. RS flies at Nic and is hit with a danger zone. Nic pins RS.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout. I figured the heels would win here and they did. The faces did some flying and put on a decent show before going down.

Overall thoughts: The first two matches didn't get enough time and it's a shame as both were looking to be decent bouts. M vs Stone was the clear match of the night. They got a lot of time, they had a match way above the usual level of women's wrestling we get here and it was a decent showing for both. I liked that match, but Jada should have won. Zoey Stark debuted after. The main was fine as well. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as the show was okay overall.

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/tna-impact-8132026.html

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/tna-impact-8272026.html 

We are in Philadelphia, PA. Matt Rehwoldt and Tom Hannifan are on commentary.

Order 4 talk in the ring. Ali says they have a problem. He says they crowned a new International champ a few weeks ago in Jason Hotch. He says Jason is not a good man. Ali says Jason isn't the man of his house, Ali says he's the man of Jason's house. He says the stuff in Jason's house is because of him and says Jason stabbed him in the back. He says he deserves loyalty and will get it.

Ali says John Skyler was once his most loyal attack dog and he will prove his loyalty tonight. Ali says John will fight Jason tonight. 

Jason Hotch is shown watching in the back. Gia Miller talks to him. She asks how he feels about all this. Jason says he considers John his best friend and his daughter calls him "Uncle John". Jason says Ali thinks he makes the rules and he talks too much. He says he's not wrestling John Skyler tonight.

Thoughts: Mr. Elegance lost his undefeated streak here, though it wasn't exactly on the level of Goldberg's. I don't know why they had Mr lose it here instead of in a bigger bout. It was a shorter bout and was just acceptable.

The Righteous get on the ramp and stare down Rich and BDE. Mr. Elegance throws a tantrum outside. 

TNA Knockouts TV Title Tournament Semi Final Match - Heather By Elegance vs. Jada Stone

Jada rolls her up and goes for an armbar. They trade pin attempts. Jada bridges out of a lariat and reverse headscissors her.

Thoughts: It started off a little slow but picked up and got better. Not quite great or anything but it was alright enough. Jada winning sets up a match vs M By Elegance which should be a decent affair.

Elayna Black and Xia Brookside do some kind of split-screen video call. EB says she needed humbled last week. EB says it's just them in the cage at Lockdown. Xia says the only thing that was embarrassing last week was her desperate calls for attention in TNA.

Xia talks about her title defenses so far and says everyone who tried her was left laying. Xia says everyone will watch her fail. EB says she can't wait to shut this b!tch up.

Mr. Elegance says he can't believe he lost in the back. Heather By Elegance say she can't believe she lost either. M By Elegance says this is unacceptable. The Personal Concierge says they will win titles at Lockdown and says it will be a great day.

Thoughts: Both guys nearly got hurt bad here as BM didn't catch Fab on a dive outside and BM took like a release backdrop on his gut. They tried but I don't know if this really got the time it needed. Myers won as the heels need the advantage for Wargames matches to work.

Thoughts: We didn't get much of this. Them doing technical wrestling made sense and so did Ali sending Zero on Jason when things weren't going like they were supposed to. Ali puts some kind of pendant on Jason, holds up the International Title and says, "In Ali, we trust".

The Righteous do a promo. Vincent says BDE is a young lad who believes in strength in numbers. He asks if the numbers believe in BDE. He says Swann is standing in BDE's way and Dutch says BDE can remove Swann.

Thoughts: It wasn't anything too special as expected. Alishda did what she's supposed to do, but she's a limited worker and there's only so much you are going to get out of her. Hudson won and keeps her job.

Alisha attacks Hudson after. Hudson is held for a shot but Jada Stone comes out to help. Jada superkicks Alisha and Eddie falls out of the ring chasing Jada.

Eli jumping knees AJ. Matt hits a twist of fate on AJ. Jeff 2nd rope swantons AJ. Jeff pins AJ.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout. They didn't even try to set this one up with a segment earlier in the show and just did it. AJ took a big bump off the 2nd rope and we got to see everyone's signature moves and finishers. It was what you would want but it was nothing memorable. 

We go to the back and Cedric Alexander is down. 

Overall thoughts: This was all about building to the big show this weekend. Swann/Elegance was acceptable. Heather/Jada turned into an okay bout after a slow start. Myers/Aichner wasn't that good. Skyler/Hotch was barely a match. Alisha/Harley was just average. The main was okay. It was a go home show so nothing too wild was going to happen here. I'd say it was average overall and I'd give it a 5 out of 10.

Thoughts: There was a ton of interference here prior to the finish. BM mostly did chinlocks here. The length and the interference just made this one average.

Leon Slater gets on the mic after. He says Cedric isn't getting away with this. He says he challenged him 2 weeks ago and says Cedrix said no. He says Ced is a scared, jealous, little b!tch.

Leon challenges him again and says he will give whatever it takes. Ced says he has no reason to be jealous of him. Ced says he will put the title on the line but he wants Leon's record. He says if he wins, Leon's 2nd longest X-Division Title reign is erased for good. Leon agrees. Ced says when Leon is forgotten and his history is erased, he has himself to blame?

Thoughts: Huh? How does that work? How does a title reign get erased in 2026?

Rich Swann and BDE are interviewed. Swann says they are ready to go tonight. He says Mustafa Ali thinks he can control everything but he doesn't. He says he can't say who their mystery partner is.

AJ Francis is in a music studio. He asks the producer to play a new one and Elijah's music hits. Elijah comes in. He says AJ tried to crucify him but it resurrected him. He says there will be no lawyers or excuses, just a cage at Lockdown. AJ then tries to leave but can't. The original producer reappears and asks if AJ is okay. AJ then leaves. 

Thoughts: What? Elijah can now vanish and teleport now?

Moose comes out to talk. He has Kaz style gear on and has a special set-up. He says Kaz has his King's Speech segment, so Moose decided he needs his own show. Moose says he went through his bag and found his scarf and sunglasses. He says he now looks like a douchebag. 

Moose says welcome to the first ever episode of the Face of the Franchise Speech. He says his guest is the people. Moose asks who the face of the franchise is and who just celebrated a decade in TNA. He then asks hwo beat the hell out of every member of The System and is a 3x TNA world champ? He asks who turned down every major company except for TNA and who will beat Kaz's @ss at Lockdown?

Frankie Kazarian comes out. He says this game is stupid.  Kaz asks who the real face of TNA is and who's the king of TNA? He then asks who the last man standing will be at Lockdown. The crowd answers "Moose" each time. Kaz says the game sucks and he doesn't want to play it anymore. Kaz says he's royalty and Moose is a failed football player. 

Kaz says comparing him and Moose is like comparing filet mignon with cheap gas station food like Wawa. Moose says you can insult him but not his guests. He says he will have to punch him in the face if he enters the ring. Kaz says he does what he wants anything he wants. Kaz says he used to think he was a failure as an NFL player, but after Slammiversary, he thinks he's a failure as a husband and a father. Moose punches him out before he can finish. 

Kaz pounds on him and grabs a stool. Moose takes him down and pounds on him until security breaks it up.

Zero misses a corner charge. Trey knee slides out into a ddt on John on the floor. Trey hits a lightning spiral on John and pins him.

Thoughts: What we got was fine, just we didn't get a whole lot of it. They wasted no time here at all and it was straight to the point. Zero got put over big and looked good here.

Zero gets behind Trey after and double arm chokeslams him. Zero and Ali go to attack Trey more and Jason Hotch makes the save for Trey.

Thoughts: It was a big upset here with M pinning Indi. M had a decent showing here and I can't say her performance didn't warrant the result. The match was kind of average though and Indi didn't get that much in. 

We get a video on Harley Hudson. We see her getting selected by TNA at a tryout. She then talks about leaving her home to come to TNA. 

We go to break and return. In the back, Moose is down on the floor and knocked out.

Eddie Edwards vs. KC Navarro

KC superkicks Eddie from the start. He trips him into the ropes and hits a 305 kick. Eddie then slides out. KC topes him then top rope splashes him for 2. KC misses a corner charge then gets sent into the post shoulder first three times.

Eddie snapmares him into a chinlock. KC spinning ddt's him. Alisha Edwards throws a shoe into the ring. Eddie grabs a kendo stick but KC stands on the stick. KC superkicks him then hits him with the stick. KC running shiranui's him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was another shorter one and it was rushed. It was one KC's biggest wins ever though in TNA. Due to the length, it didn't get to mature into anything great.

The System jump KC after and beat him up in the ring. KC has a chair put around his neck but Sosa, Jada Stone and Fabian Aichner chase the heels off. 

Santino Marella comes out. He says he doesn't like the use of weapons. He says there will be a time and place to do it and it's at Lockdown. He says it'll be Eddie Edwards, Bear Bronson, Brian Myers and Alisha Edwards vs Ricky Sosa, KC Navarro, Jada Stone and Fabian Aichner in a Lethal Lockdown match with weapons.

We get a video on The Bunny. We see her looking at a mirror that says, "The Struggle Is Real". 

TNA World Heavyweight Title Match - Nic Nemeth (c) vs. Jeff Hardy

They shove each other. Jeff side headlocks him. Nick wristlocks him. Nick stomps Jeff's foot and evades a twist of fate. Nick rolls him up for 2 counts. Nic dropkicks Jeff then rakes his face. Jeff bangs Nic's head off the buckles. Jeff bangs Nic's head off the buckles. 

Nic eye rakes Jeff on the ropes. Jeff spin kicks him. Jeff flying lariats Nic off the apron. We go to break and return. Nick elbow drops Jeff for 2. Nic butt drops Jeff's back. Nic misses a move and goes crotch first into the 2nd rope.

Jeff hits a twist of fate on Nic. Nic superkicks Jeff for 2. Jeff then gets a 2 count on Nic. Jeff cutters Nic. Jeff swantons off the top and Nic gets his knees up for 2. Nic hits a danger zone on Jeff and pins him. 

Thoughts: The crowd really liked it but I just thought it was acceptable only. Maybe we missed some good stuff during the break, I don't know. I really don't get why they blew this match on Impact instead of on one of their bigger shows. This company is hurting for talent and needs to be careful about how they use newer matches like this. I thought either guy had a shot here.

Overall thoughts: Most of the matches were too short here and didn't get to develop into anything great, but what we did get of those bouts wasn't bad. There was a lot of interference and shenanigans all night long. I don't get the stipulation where Leon Slater's title reign could be erased and I don't know how Elijah developed teleporting/vanishing powers. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall as it was just okay enough, but this show really could have been good if the other matches got more time. It was an okay show.

Mara dropkicks her off the steps outside. Mara is pulled down arm first over the top rope.  M top rope double stomps her and pins her.

Thoughts: I thought HBE might win here since Mara is now gone from TNA. It was a decent match. HBE mostly worked the arm. Mara's powerbomb looked good as did her dropkick off the ropes. It made sense and this worked out better than I expected.

Moose does a promo. He says he earned his nicknames. He says he's respected in this place as when all fails, Moose will be dependable. Moose says Frankie Kazarian goes by "The King of TNA" name but he hasn't earned it. He challenges him to a match at Lockdown. He says he will find out why he's the face of the franchise.

Thoughts: It was over quick due to interference and was not much of note.

KC is 2v1'd then Fabian Aichner saves KC. Santino Marella comes out. He says he's sick of it and the heels are always doing bad things. He says they will have a tag match right now.

The System (Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers) vs Fabian Aichner and KC Navarro

The heels get mad, go for Santino and get hit on the stage. 

Fab boots and chops Eddie in the corner. He facekicks him and slams him. They overshoot a pop up headscissors and botch it as KC flies over Eddie. BM is double superkicked out. The faces hit stereo topes.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but not too long. It didn't really matter who won that here but at least The System didn't win clean. Eddie doesn't usually win with package piledrivers IIRC, so that may have been something new. 

Ricky Sosa chases off the heels with a chair before they do anything after.

TNA Injury Report

Nic Nemeth is in perfect shape. Mara Sade is in uncertain and has an abdominal injury. She's in pain. Rosemary is missing.

The Hardy's congratulate The Righteous and says they survived the lake. They say they are now brothers after all the battles they've been through. Matt says "respect" and they all put their hands in.

Jason Hotch grabs Ali in the back and tries to hit him. Order 4 stops him from attacking him. They all end up arguing and security breaks them p. Ali challenges Jason for Lockdown. Skyler tells Jason to calm down. Jason says he's done with Order 4 and Skyler is coming with him. Skyler says he needs the job. Jason gets mad and walks off.

The Righteous come out to talk. Vincent says they died or maybe they are just changing. Vince says you can't kill an idea. Dutch says The Lake of Reincarnation didn't wash them away, it showed them what comes next. Dutch says some say water leaves the body, but this water shapes direction. Vince says their purpose wasn't to destroy The Hardy's but reveal them. Vince says they gave The Hardy's something they didn't realize and now they became the  ultimate goats. Vince says their work with them is finish and now they move onto something else. They talk without saying anything of value. Dutch says the forgotten always outnumber the celebrated. Vince says if the world has forgotten your name, good, because it's time to hear their name. Vince says they are looking for people who are dying like a flower but have some light to bloom into something better. 

Thoughts: It seems like The Righteous are recruiting. I'm fine with this. Something needs changed with The Righteous and maybe having another person will open things up with them.

Harley Hudson and Jada Stone stone talk and argue. Jada leaves as Santino comes in. Santino says Daria Rae has it out for HH and wants to terminate her contract. Santino says Daria wants her to win more. Alisha Edwards comes in and complains about Ricky Sosa. Alisha says she's sick of Sosa, Hudson, Santino and Jada. Jada and Alisha really argue.

We see The Bunny walking around in the back. She finds some miniature cards, looks at the camera and we cut away.

AJ Francis vs The Home Town Man

AJ spears him to start. AJ spits on Home's jersey and throws it in his face. AJ goes for the chokeslam and Elijah comes out. Eli points his guitar at AJ and Home rolls up AJ to win.

Thoughts: It was short. I didn't like AJ losing this way to someone so low on the totem pole. Will anyone remember this in a week or two? Probably not so it won't matter, but I'd protect him more.

AJ gets mad after.

Tom Hannifan interviews Cedric Alexander. He says he proved he was one of the best for years and the X-Division Title helps prove it. Ced says it's been said for years that he deserves better and can do more, but when it was time to give him the ball, someone else got it. Ced says he's the prime minister of the X-Division and the record taker. He says you can't mention Leon Slater without mentioning him. Leon Slater walks in and tells him to continue as he can't keep his name out of his mouth. Leon says he beat him last week but he still won't give him a title shot. Ced says he earned his shot and says Leon earned nothing. Ced says he won't get another shot at his title. Ced says everything about him disgusts him. Ced says AJ Styles gave Leon an endorsement and no one gave him anything. 

Ced says everything was handed to Leon because of his pretty smile and because he's 6'1. He asks what he earned and said he didn't have to scratch and claw. Leon asks if he's jealous. They get up and argue. Ced says it's not jealous, he worked for and earned the title. He says Leon thinks what he did was hard. He says Leon just showed up and benefited off the backs of others. Ced tells him to remember that as long as he holds the title, Leon won't touch it again. He says he will do everything in his power to erase everything he has done in this business.

Thoughts: It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it was something different and was believable. This worked.

Daria Rae tells Kaz that Moose challenged him at Lockdown. Kaz says Moose is a moron. Daria says it's good for box office. Kaz says he will do it for her but he wants to do it under his terms. Kaz says the match with Moose must be under escape the cage rules and Daria agrees. Kaz then talks into the camera. He says Moose is at the bottom of the hierarchy. He says Moose is just a mascot. He says Moose couldn't find his @ss with boy hands. He says he won't escape the cage but will find out why they call him "King".

TNA Knockouts Title - Xia Brookside (c) vs Wendy Choo

Choo ducks a lariat and hits chest forearms. Xia chest forearm flurries her in the corner. Choo thesz presses her and hits mounted shots. Xia goes out and Choo kicks her in the head. Choo chest kicks her down outside. 

We go to break and return. Choo back elbows her and facekicks her. Choo hits chest forearms and chops. Choo hits lariats. Choo pepsi twist lariats her. Choo cartwheel forearm her in the corner and running facekicks her. Choo running neckbreakers her for 2. 

Xia codebreakers her for 2. Choo half-nelson slams Xia for 2. Choo goes for her dirtnap hold. Xia rams Choo's throat into the ropes to break it. Xia hits an implant ddt and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a short match here. Xia didn't really get enough in and the time wasn't there for this to be anything special. I'm glad Xia won though as I thought there was a chance she would lose this one. 

Elayna Black comes out after. They stare down.

We see Jeff Hardy working on a painting. Nic Nemeth comes up to him. He says he doesn't see the "Charismatic Enigma" in him. He says he only sees the dark in people and only knows facts, like how great he is. He points out how Jeff paints and taunts him. Nic says there's an entire world of wrestling outside and says some of them are trying to be the best. Nic says wrestling is like the 5th best thing he does and he's the best in the world. Nic says he see's through Jeff's BS and knows what he is capable of. He says there's not a person alive that does this better than him. He says he's the champ for some reason.

He complains about Jeff painting and ignoring him. Nic gets angrier and angrier. Nic says Jeff has been champ before but this doesn't win titles. Nic says he doesn't know how he hasn't beaten him in his career or life. He says he's the champ and knows Jeff can be, but it won't be while he's here. Nic then signs the contract or their match. Jeff then signs it. 

Nic asks if that's it and says even Jeff's signature couldn't be normal. Nic says he will never leave the title and says he solidifies himself as the best in the world when he beats him. Jeff still says nothing.

Thoughts: This wasn't that interesting and would have been better somewhere else on this show.

Overall thoughts: It was a weaker episode of Impact. We had a lot of shorter matches and Heather vs Mara may have been the best bout here, which isn't something I expected. This was all about setting up Lockdown matches and they did accomplish that. The build to that show looks like it will be fine but the shot being cage matches only will limit it. I'd give this a low 6 out of 10 overall, mainly because the storylines were decent here and made up for some average wrestling. It was acceptable.

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/tna-impact-862026.html

Leon gets on the mic after and calls Cedric a bum. He says Ced got lucky so many times and he got his revenge. He says he pinned him here while he's the X champ and he challenges him for the title in a cage match at Lockdown.

Order 4 is in the back. Ali tells Skyler to get every Order 4 member here. John runs into Mila Moore's chest and says he has no idea what he just said. Ali tells Mila to make sure every member of Order 4 is at ringside.

The Elegance Brand does a video without Ash. George says he can see again and says they have a rematch to get their tag titles back. George says they will get the Knockouts TV Title too and become The Empire or Elegance. Heather asks what happens if she has to face M By Elegance. George says he sees them winning the tag titles again tonight and ignores that comment.

The announcers wish AEW's Rebel well as she used to wrestle in TNA.

Indi hits some shots on her and hits lariats. Indi slams her down for 2. Thea is pushed out and then goes up top. Thea top rope crossbodies Indi.

Thea rolling sentons Indi then misses a springboard backsplash. Indi hits a hurts donut and pins her.

Thoughts: They were kind of buying time here and did a long armwork session. You don't see that a lot in 2026. They tried but it was nothing too special. The armwork lost the crowd. Indi's finisher didn't look that good as usual.

AJ Francis in the back with a hat with money in it. He asks people for donations to help Expressions. He complains that they only give $40. He then asks BDE and Rich Swann for donations. BDE asks if he put his own money in there and Rich asks what happened to the "money, money, money". AJ says he made them money and they should return the favor. They call him bald.

KC Navarro is in the ring. He thanks the crowd and says he appreciates them. He says he fought for the TNA Title last week and failed. He says no one was harder on him than himself. He says he felt like he didn't belong in TNA. He talks about losing his home as a child and losing his uncle recently. He says then he thought of his journey on the indies and said he didn't quit. He talks about being on One Night Only and being in the Super X Cup, but not getting signed.

He says he wanted to show kids that they can do anything and points out his two brothers in the crowd. He says he was left alone in the lunch room but his brothers are here so he did something right. He says he knows he belongs. He says you've got to keep fighting and can't quit. He says his story isn't over but is just beginning.

The System come out. They make fun of KC and say no one cares about crybaby KC. Brian says he set him up with crayons and a coloring book in the back while they handle business. Cedric takes the mic. He says Leon wants a shot at his X Title and says the answer is no. He says he will never get a shot at his title. 

Eddie says Leon and Sosa don't deserve a match against The System. KC then interrupts and says this is his time, not theirs. KC says they call themselves the gatekeepers, but they look like a bunch of b!tches. Eddie says that was a big mistake. KC then gets jumped 4v1. Leon, Sosa and Fabian Aichner then come in to save him.

Thoughts: I didn't like this one. KC's not exactly high on the totem pole here and him talking about being treated like a loser didn't make him look like a big star.

Allie is looking for Rosemary in the back. She asks Daria Rae if she has seen Rosemary. Daria says Allie is up next and will forfeit the title if he's not out there. Allie says she will defend 2v1.

TNA Injury Report

The Righteous have not been seen since being thrown in the lake and their status is unknown. The Personal Concierge/George Iceman is cleared. Jason Hotch and Mustafa Ali are cleared for tonight's match. We then hear that Nic Nemeth is better than ever.

Allie hits a ddt + reverse ddt combo. Iceman gets on the apron and Allie tugs over the Knockouts Tag Title with him. George ends up bridged on the ropes and Allie pulls the title away. Allie then rakes George's eyes. Mr. Elegance comes in and Allie hits him with the title. Allie then hits The Brand with the title and gets DQ'd.

Thoughts: Getting DQ'd here was a smart move at least. Now she has time to find Rosemary. The heels really should have been DQ'd though for their buddies getting in the ring.

The Hardy's come out in goat masks and we get some old school Matt Hardy Matt facts. Matt says it's a great night to be in Philly. Matt says they put an end to The Righteous last week and says they were deleted and maybe dead. They point out some actress named Amy Garcia who does their dance. Jeff says going into the lake changed him. He says he's the anti-christ and a sober alcoholic.

Jeff says they will start kicking some @ss around here. Matt says they are the greatest tag team in the history of wrestling. Matt says TNA runs on Hardydust. Matt says it's appropriate they won the tag titles in a ladder match as there would be no ladder match without them.

He says Nic will also defend his TNA Title vs Jeff Hardy and says Ryan will face Matt next week. Ryan then taunts Amy Garcia outside and offers a kiss. Amy throws water in his face then slaps him. Amy the does The Hardy's taunts with them. Amy was very entertaining and should return. 

AJ Francis is looking for more donations in the back. He asks the female ref and she gives $20. AJ then pockets it himself. AJ asks Home Town Man for some home town charity. Home says he has no extra cash and he hates him. Elijah comes in and says to leave Home alone. AJ says it's all Elijah's fault as he gave Expression the injury. Eli says it was self defense. AJ says he's tired of Eli disrespecting Expressions. He says he should beat some respect into him in a cage. Eli asks if he wants to walk with Elijah again at Lockdown and tells him to be careful what he asks for.

Daria Rae and Santino Marella talk in the back. Daria says she didn't like how the Knockouts Tag Title match went down and signs a rematch for Lockdown in a cage if Rosemary comes back. Daria says they need to trim the fat on the roster. He says Harley Hudson is first on the list as she hasn't won a match in months. Santino says she loves TNA. Daria says she's sure the board will care in a mocking tone. 

TNA Knockouts TV Title Tournament Quarterfinal Match - Jada Stone vs Jody Threat

They lock up and JT wristlocks her. Jada flips out of it and side headlocks her. JT shoulders her over. Jada sunset flips her for 2. Jada bridges out of a lariat and dropkicks her for 2. Jada handsprings and is thrown from the backdrop position. JT corner lariats her.

Jada kicks her off the ropes. Jada sitout moonsaults her for 2. JT pump kicks her in the head then meteora's her from behind. JT release germans her. Jada high kicks her and rolls her up for the pin.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. Jada did a lot of flying but Jody blocked most of those flying moves and that hurt this one from picking up. Jada had some problems with Jody's height here. This had some issues.

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

They lock up, Ali forearms him and shoulders him over. Jason side headlocks him. Ali chops him. Ali flying headscissors him and chops him down. Ali topes him outside. Jason's wife and family are in the front row. Jason 619's him under the bottom rope then tornado ddt's him off the post onto the floor. 

Jason top rope crossbodies him for 2. Ali chops him and Jason punches him. Ali chops him down on the apron. Jason 2nd rope moonsaults him outside. We go to break and return. Ali is suplexed off the top through a table outside. Both men beat the 10 count in.

Jason hit chops on him. Jason running lariats him. Jason swinging backbreakers him for 2. Jason goes for a flying forearm in the corner and Ali pulls the ref in the way. Ali low blows Jason. Ali whips him with a belt. John Skyler pulls the belt away. Ali pushes him and Jason nails John on accident. Ali tries to pin Jason with his feet on the ropes and Tasha Steelz stops it. Mila Moore hits Tasha, they fight and security breaks it up. Ali and Jason trade pin attempts.

Thoughts: It was a good match here with Jason pulling off the big upset. It's a shame this didn't get built up more because it could have been an even bigger moment. The stuff with Order 4 going at it made for a good moment and we had some nice teases before Jason ended up pulling it off. The top rope superplex spot through a table was cool as we didn't see it coming at all. Things should get interesting with Order 4 moving forward and I'm curious to see what that looks like.

Jason gets streamers thrown in the ring after then his family comes in.

Overall thoughts: I like the opener. Hail/Indi wasn't that interesting and I didn't love the KC Navarro segment. The Knockouts Tag Title match didn't accomplish a lot. I thought the stuff with AJ Francis looking for donations was entertaining. Jada/Jody could have been better. The main was good and one of the better TNA matches this year. I would give this a 6 out of 10 mostly for the main being a big success. It was an okay show overall.

Next week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/tna-impact-7302026.html

Eli high kicks AJ from the apron. Eli ropewalks, Expressions shakes the ropes under him and AJ death valley drivers Eli. AJ pins Eli.

Thoughts: It was short. They did what they could with it but it should have been twice as long. It wasn't anything great and it was not the wrestlers fault by any means.

Thoughts: TNA is really trying to push Sosa hard but he's not quite there yet and the crowd doesn't care that much.

We go back to the vote. Jason Hotch is the winner of the vote for the title shot. Jason is excited and Ali laughs. Ali says the roster is ribbing Jason and are doing it to mess with Ali.

Thoughts: It was pretty wild as expected. It's hard to call it a match as they kept cutting to various scenes and it's hard to know what was actually canon here or not. It was interesting though and probably way better than anything else they would have done otherwise though. This was indeed entertaining if nothing else. Where this leaves The Righteous? I have no idea. 

The Hardy's say The Righteous have been deleted and now need to be cleansed. They throw The Righteous in the lake. Matt says this marks a new chapter for The Hardy's and says they are forever. Jeff says, "and then some".

Leon Slater talks to Jason Hotch in the locker room. Leon says it's not a joke and he voted for Jason. He says it's Jason's time and the only person in his way is him. He says Jason has got this. Jason then talks to someone on the phone instead of going into Daria Rae's office.

Thoughts: Nic won as expected. It was a good match though. Nic worked KC's repaired knee and they told the story for KC going for the upset all the way through. It was athletic, it got enough time and it was interesting. I liked this one and KC showed up big his biggest match to date.

Overall thoughts: The opener didn't get a lot of time. Choo/Black was average. Elegance/BDE was a shorter one as well. The Righteous Deletion Match was entertaining and similar to other Deletion matches. It wasn't a traditional match or anything and had all kinds of wild stuff going on. Jada/Alisha wasn't bad. The main was good and the best thing on the show. I thought this was a little better than usual and we had 2 worthwhile matches here in the main and the Deletion Match. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as the highs were a lot higher than the lows here. This was okay overall.

Thoughts: Tessa Blanchard left TNA as they forced her to choose between CMLL and TNA and she chose CMLL. That meant her faction was broken up and now Mila is with Order 4.

He tells Nic to put the TNA Title on the line against him next week. He says he's here to show the world that he can be the TNA champ. Nic says if he promises to get away from him for good, he will make the match for next week. He says if KC loses, he gets out of his life and never bothers him again.

Thoughts: I'm not a fan of this angle. It makes KC look like some kind of simp for Nic who is upset that he got dumped.

Fab sitout last ride's him for 2. Fab is sent out. Eddie Edwards comes in and shining wizards Fab. Ced lumbar checks Fab and pins him.

Thoughts: The work was alright but neither of these guys are that over and this only did so much for me. Fab didn't lose clean here so that should set up a rematch at least.

Eddie and Cedric beat up Fab after. Ricky Sosa and Leon Slater come out to help. Leon does his corkscrew dive over the post onto the heels. 

Overall thoughts: It was a longer episode that wasn't that interesting. We had a couple of tournament matches that really only get you so far and we had interference all night long. Outside of Moose, TNA's bigger stars also weren't in action here which didn't help things. I'd say Moose vs AJ was the match of the night. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 and thought it was acceptable overall.
