Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 3.6.2025

Welp we’re still on the slow skid to Sacrifice. The last few weeks have been painfully boring for the TNA material on iMPACT. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when TNA looks more legitimate on NXT than they do with their own show. So many matches, segments and wrestlers are just filling spots but making as much of a lasting influence as words written in water.

I’m not some blind shill who just talks up their favorite brand, anyone should know that. So I’m just hoping I don’t fall asleep tonight. Sacrifice is really looking like such a middle of the road B show. And it’s one thing to not be a tent pole event, and its another thing to make it obvious, especially when your most over guy and World Champion is in a goofball 10 man tag match.

Time to see if I stay awake!

EXCLUSIVE: Via FaceTime, @MATTHARDYBRAND told @NicTNemeth who’s STILL suspended—that he wants him on his team for the massive 10-Man Tag Team Match at #TNASacrifice! And that’s not all… @LEONSLATER_ is officially in, too! pic.twitter.com/AZdeiD2mlQ

Results:

Elijah vs Brian Myers w/Alisha

Well how nice of TNA to give Elijah a win on his debut singles match. Too soon?

Elijah hits a Jumping Lariat as soon as the bell rings and gets on Myers so he powders, Elijah chases but gets caught. A few Face Smashes into the apron before Elijah fires back with Chops and then driving Myers into the Post and bouncing him off the apron a few times for good measure. Elijah hits some Running Hip Attack Drive By thing…definitely don’t like it, but there are worse moves. Myers rolls back in, Elijah then goes for the Rope Walk spot and Lish hops on the apron to give Myers an opening. Stun Gun and Back Body Drop puts Myers in the driver’s seat. Myers chokes Elijah on the ropes, distracts the ref so Lish does the choke interference spot.

Myers tries to stay on top, but Elijah fires up, and a Vertical Suplex gives Elijah a chance to catch his breath. Stinger Splash into Drift Away for a near fall! Myers slips the Scoop, Superkick into Implant DDT for two! Myers looks for Spear, Elijah Scoops him, Eddie hits the apron, Elijah gets distracted but feels Myers coming so he dodges the back attack. Myers clocks Eddie, Highwayman’s Farewell, and Elijah wins!

System starts the Post-Match beat down but Hendry hits the ring for the save with white guitar in hand. Jeff Jarrett must be salivating with two guitar guys in TNA.

We get another Fir$t Cla$$ Penthou$e segment! KC Navarro is still a complete fucking treasure. They bring two girls (possibly La Catalina & Valentina, but they didn’t get named in the segment) out with them to start and then fake out Kevin Owens being a guest. They play and KC is still selling Maclin’s beatdown from last week, AJ talks smack so Maclin crashes the party and AJ says “This is a family show”. Maclin is being fairly calm and they do a “You talk too much line”. Temu Suge Knight is a great insult for AJ. 

This was actually a great old school paced style of talk segment. 

Savannah Evans vs Xia Brookside

Savannah tries to attack Xia before the bell but moves so Savannah rams herself into the buckles, Xia tries a few things like an Acid Drop or Headscissors but Savannah’s power stops her, so a lot of small strikes to hit the legs, slips a few early grabs but eventually Savannah gets a hold of her and Samoan Drop flattens the little Brit. Savannah leans on Xia to choke her against the ropes, Irish Power Whip across the ring into the buckles, Xia bounces out and Savannah gets a two count. Rosemary is stalking above this match and I’m not sure who…but Xia does have a small connection to Lei Ying Lee, so that could tie things together at some point. Savannah leans on Xia and then Bear Hug nearly knocks out Xia, but she manages to break the hold just enough.

Xia gets the foot up when Savannah charges, a few Forearms and Headscissors into the Octopus, but turns it into a Drop Toehold to throat Savannah. Should Tackle in the corner, Crossbody Splash for two. Xia tries to lift Savannah but she’s the size of Savannah’s leg…that’s silly. Savannah just shoves her into the corner, charges but Xia moves, Xia still sells so Savannah goes for a Knee Drop and misses. Savannah sells the knee and the referee stops Xia thinking she’s legit injured, but the blindside because of feigning the injury takes too long and makes Xia look dumber than the average babyface.

Decent match with a dumb finish.

John Skyler w/Jason Hotch vs Mike Santana

If this match lasts more than 4 minutes, I’ll eat my hat.

Skyler plays okey doke with running out and back in as Santana chases. A few early strikes and Russian Leg Sweep gets Skyler a one counter, but Santana fires, runs over Skyler a few times, 3 Amigos. Skyler tries to powder to the apron and Slingshot Spear but gets kicked. He retreats to the corner, Cannonball and Running Sitout Powerbomb…3 count. Okay good it was like 2 minutes, my hat is safe.

Hotch tries to attack after the match but eats the Spin the Block and Santana looks to take them out with the weapon they introduced but Ali’s tron cuts him off and they tell Santana he’s being subjected to a “randomly selected” urine test.

AJ Francis vs Steve Maclin

A couple strike trades, Maclin slips the running Slam from AJ, forearms to the back, and tries the Olympic Slam…but Francis is too much right now to lift. AJ throws him into the corner, perches him, looks for an Avalanche Down Payment but Maclin shakes it off until AJ just grabs him and tosses him across the ring. Tennessee Whiskey up next, and KC and AJ do a little taunting. AJ goes for a Big Boot, misses, Tree of Woe, takes out KC, Caught in the Crosshairs! Maclin looks for K.I.A. but AJ shrugs it off, hits his Football tackle, AJ looks for the Down Payment but the two Northern Armoury jabronis hit the apron and distract AJ. Olympic Slam into SCUD from Maclin and he finally sees EY and crew. Maclin says he doesn’t want the help but EY says he’s watching his back. Maclin tells him he doesn’t want the help, heads back into the ring just to eat a Down Payment and AJ wins.

At least this angle with Maclin is alright, it’s cliche but it’s a cliche that works at the moment.

Oba Femi comes out to have a face to face with Moose before Roadblock on March 11th. Oba cuts a very good promo, Moose holds his own as well, but Oba comes with that Babyface fire. JDC tells the Security first one to jump Oba is in The System, so they all mug him at the same time, Oba fights off everyone except Moose and eats a Lights Out out of nowhere. Moose gets to stand tall but Oba literally cleared the ring of about a dozen men. So it did its job.

Northern Armoury vs Rascalz & Ace Austin

Hair Jabroni starts with Wentz, and it goes how you expect, early Corkscrew Crossbody from Wentz gets a nearfall. But a Kitchen sink give the dorks a tag spot they do basic tandem stuff, they still look awful, and thankfully Wentz flips out, Trey blind tag and we get a little tandem slide tackle action before EY attacks the Rascalz, heels outside, triplicate dives cause of course. Not timed well so it looks bad, but what do you expect from wrestling in 2025. Useless Dives to people that stand and wait.

Double Superkick lays out bald jabroni, hair jabroni with the Wrecking Ball Dropkick and EY blindsides Wentz, EY tags in legally and works over Wentz. Bald Jabroni gets tagged in, does basic moves that Young Lions do better…hell the dude looks like a Temu Young Lion. Wentz hits a desperation Back Handspring Knee, but the heels pull the faces off the apron so Wentz is isolated. Bald Jabroni attempts a kneeling submission with a Cravat but it looks poor. Wentz finally fights out of the locomotion corner spot, Ace hot tag, combination strikes into Russian Leg Sweep and Click Click Boom, fights off the other Jabroni, forward Roll Leap Frog, Spinning Heel Kicks for everyone until EY lays out Ace. Eric hits the Scoop Slam, goes for a Moonsault and comes up empty. Simultaneous tags probably…but oh no Wentz pulls the jabronis off the apron! Trey tags in, Missile Dropkick bounces Eric Young like a Super Ball. Trey lands a few other high risk moves, knocks off the Jabronis again, tags in Wentz, ABC tandem strike spot, another tag and we get the MCMG ACH Rush before the Jabronis finally break up the pinfall. Ace gets involved, does his corner dodge into the Triangle Kick, EY hits a Spicolli Driver on Ace, but Rascalz lay out EY, Wes and Crew come out! Wentz dives on the NXT trio, Trey gets crotched on the top rope and EY hits the Piledriver for the win.

Masha comes out to cut a miserable promo in English. She has completely lost her aura with the language change. Cora interrupts her of course, but Tessa blindsides her! Lei Ying Lee makes the save, to lead to a tag match before the singles matches at Sacrifice. 

The best whiney Mokuba/Scott Evil little brother ever comes out to give us the Nic Nemeth countdown and walk away.

The Colons vs The Hardy Boyz

Eddie and Matt start, Matt grabs the Arm Wringer and turns it into successive arm breakers before we go to the last commercial. We come back to the Delete Head Smashes as Orlando interferes from the apron to give Eddie a break and then a little isolation on Matt gives the Colons solid moments for quick tags and simple moments. Eddie has a Key Lock for a while until Matt fires up and dodges a Running Dropkick. So Eddie is hung up in the corner, as Matt is crawling to Jeff. Simultaneous tags, Jeff hits his vintage offense, Plot Twist on Eddie. They take out Orlando, Swanton gets called for but The System hits the ring, followed by Elijah, Slater and Hendry for the saves.

Director Cobra comes out at the very end to say the 10 man tag is in a steel cage. He doesn’t call it lockdown…just a cage. It’s a start, but until someone says Lethal Lockdown I will never be satisfied. 

Overall Score: 6/10

Okay so the middle portion of the show dragged a little, but the first bit and last few segments were solid. Even if I don’t love everyone involved, angles are making a measure of sense, I love Ryan Nemeth’s hateable little shithead brother, it’s nice to see Lei Ying Lee in the upper card, Eric Young and Maclin are the only thing tolerable about Northern Armoury, Elegance Clique having a 2004 MTV montage was entertaining and cringe (so it’s on brand) and of course, KC Navarro is a treasure.

Oba looked great, I don’t think anyone has done a good job at making us think Moose has any prayer to win the title, but since he’s a heel with a stable I guess there’s always the outside shot. Xia Brookside also has become a better wrestler but she looks more gullible and dumb than early 90s Sting with how she gets distracted and loses in the dumbest ways. Also not super excited for Ali and Santana beyond “the match will be good”, but the segments haven’t been bad.

So all things considered, it was a decent episode. Didn’t really do a whole hell of a lot for weekly viewers, but if people only tune in intermittently…it was alright and framed things well enough.
