Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.19.2026

Well TNA is on a roll from a quality perspective and from a consumption perspective. While No Surrender wasn’t amazing, it was still enjoyable and definitely better than the card read on paper. When Trey versus Stacks was the only objective terrible match (sloppy, botchy, fell apart hard), Arianna Grace versus Lei Ying Li was the best match. Mickie James popping back up was fun. And yes, I’m not happy Arianna won, but story wise is makes sense and she’s been on TNA TV more than NXT in the last year, so she feels less like an outsider than most.

Lets see if TNA can continue to increase their viewership or if things finally plateau a little. Crazy how the debut was so terrible, but everything since then has been at the very worst…competent.

.@SteveMaclin will be waiting for a phone call from @TomHannifan!

Results:

Indi Hartwell vs Heather by Elegance w/Elegance Brand

Heather dodges the tie up, decides to pose and then Indi throws her around, kicks the Concierge and hits Heather with a Tilt-a-Whirl Slam for two. Indi goes to the top, M shoves Indi when the ref is distracted, Heather kicks her off the apron, and the Elegance Brand revels in their cheating. Indi turns around Heather’s offense but Heather rolls off and trips Indi into the buckles.

The cheating never ends. It’s just a lot of rope chokes and light heel tactics, but its still a lot of interference. Heather botches a Body Scissors, but recovers and hits a Moonsault for two. Heather with the Rear Naked Choke, Indi finally shakes it, Pump Kicks a few times to clear out Heather but Mr. E distracts the ref, M gets clocked by Indi, Concierge gets caught sliding into the ring. Referee with the wind-up and the throwing them all out. ASH throws a Banshee screaming tantrum.

Oh look, there’s still a match. Heather tries the Arabian Fly, but Indi holds on, Heather crashes, she eats an elbow. ASH tries to distract, but kicks out of Heather’s attempted Cradle, Heather bounces off the ropes and gets caught in Hurts Don’t It, and Indi with the win.

Christ, Santana comes out to say nothing really aside from alluding to the eventual Maclin showdown, then he calls out Leon to make good from No Surrender or whatever. Leo can’t talk, it’s painful, but thankfully the Nemeths come out and we hear Ryan do the Mokuba and “My Big Brother”. Santana does cut off Ryan, and its funny. Nic chirps, and Santana stops Leon from trying to speak and hypes up Leon. When Leon talks, the segment bogs down, he hits his challenge line late, but now Daria Rae shows up. I just noticed her tron shows that “The S.U.I.T.” is an acronym for ” Shut Up I’m Talking”. I do like the acronym and I like Daria in this role. But this segment was general garbage.

TNA International Championship: Trey Miguel (c) vs Stacks w/Arianna Grace

Early on Stacks keeps a deliberate pace and keeps Trey grounded. Stacks even gets in Carlos Silva’s face, and Carlos tries to stand up. Okay, stop trying to make him an on screen personality. He looks like a dweeb, had an entire year of being the cuck of wrestling, he’s not tough, he’s not cool, he shouldn’t be on TV. Stacks has Trey locked in a Cravat Backbreaker, and we go to commercial.

When we get back, Trey hits a Moonsault and starts the comeback. Manhattan Drop, Northern Lights, Float Over, into a Double Wristlock, Backflip, Dropkick to the back of Stacks’ head but it looks a little dumb. Stacks kicks out of the pinfall, gets space with a Back Elbow and Slam for two. Stacks wants a Stomp, but misses and eats combination kicks into his own Stomp for yet another near fall.

Trey looks for the Meteora, Stacks cuts him off, Superplex jostling, but Trey slips it, Cheeky Nandos, Upper Deck Tiger Feint into Meteora for…only two! Arianna throws her belt in before Trey can try the Lightning Spiral, Stacks gets away with an Eye Rack, then a bad Shining Wizard to the back of the head. Trey fights off Stacks’ terrible offense, Shellshocked into Lighting Spiral. Trey retains.

.@TheEricYoung has dialed in on TNA X Division Champion @LEONSLATER_.

Tessa Blanchard w/Mila Moore & Victoria Crawford vs Jody Threat

Chain wrestling to start with, and Tessa of course gets the best of Jody. An insulting Rings of Saturn before Jody counters it into a quick Cradle. Jody wants a Boston Crab, but Tessa kicks her off, but gets trapped in the corner. Jody throws Short Lariats, goes for a Charging Lariat, Tessa ducks it but gets caught on the rebound. Tessa manages to drive Jody into the ropes, Dropkick, Plancha into the ring and a near fall. Tessa talks smack saying she’s “Not on her level”, and she’s right. Tessa is the easily Top 5 female wrestler in the world. You can dislike her personality or history, but there aren’t many who look as good as her and work as well as she does.

Jody breaks the Abdominal Stretch with a Hip Toss, then some slow strikes build momentum, Sole Butt, Pump Kick, Double Knees into the Release German Suplex…but Jody is selling the damage and exhaustion so far. Jody wants her F5, but Vix just slides in the ring and kicks Jody in the stomach.

The DQ happens, but this had to happen with Jody, Dani and Lei Ying Li all holding “future Knockouts championship” opportunities. Can’t turn this into the entire division as number 1 contenders. A small beatdown before Harley Hudson and Myla Grace run out for an eventual save. Tessa and Crew just walk away, making their point. 

Rich Swann & BDE vs Sinner & Saint

Anyone whose read my previous coverage knows I hate Sinner and Saint, and refuse to learn their names. Their moves are bad, their looks are bad, they have no gimmick and no marketability. Worst 2 non-jobbers I’ve ever seen.

Rich starts with the Bald jabroni, mirror move start with Leap Frogs and counters before Rich catches with the Headscissors. Tandem Neckbreaker and Rolling Splash. Nerd Patrol gets a quick tag and some quick corny looking something…because they’re not even hitting him until the eventually hit the tandem kicks in the corner. It was stupid and overly choreographed moron stuff. Dweebs are keeping quick tags, but landing nothing, just trying to cut off BDE. This match looks stupid so far. Tandem Backdrop attempt but BDE flips through it, crawls through the legs, tags in Rich and Rich lays out the nerds.

Superkick, Codebreaker, Senton combination offense from Swann and BDE, but only two. BDE tries the Oscutter, but bald nerd botches the counter, whole exchange looks bad. Then the nerds isolate BDE, sloppy looking offense punctuated with a Brainbuster and Rich breaks it up. Oscutter from BDE, Lethal Injection from Swann, but Baldo makes the save. Too much space in between moves, this looks like an obvious counter, and it is. Swann is crotched, Lawn Dart/Gamengiri from nerds, Swann is still crotched, Total Elimination from the dweebs, BDE eats the pin.

This match was sloppy, bad and shows the difference between BDE wrestling with a good wrestler (Eric Young) and these two morons. It was hard to watch. 

Elayna Black comes out to complain, and it looks like she’s aiming for Mara Sade. This feud is gonna be hot. I don’t like Elayna’s wrestling and I find her personality boring…they’re both gorgeous. But ya know, to be fair, this little rant from Elayna may be her best promo ever. Mara makes a few jokes, but wow, Elayna is telling Mara that she’s only here because she looks good and Elayna grinded for it. Weird…but Elayna is cutting a great promo. Damn, this isn’t a bad promo back and forth. Maybe KC Navarro HAS been helping Elayna with promos. Good on the Blessed One. 

Guitar Case Casket Match: Elijah vs Mustafa Ali

On the bell Elijah connects with a Big Boot, Ali powders, finds a bunch of chairs and starts hitting Elijah’s injured arm with the chairs. Elijah manages to slow down Ali with a Knee Lift, then he grabs a Ukulele and swings, but misses and it explodes against the post. A little Scooby Doo to the ramp, Ali tries to Suplex Elijah onto his chair pile he made earlier, but Elijah blocks it and chucks Ali with a Back Drop from the Ramp to the floor of chairs. Elijah tries to lock Ali in the casket but Ali gets out, pins the bad arm under the lid and Ali starts taking back over.

Elijah finds a Mandolin and cracks Ali with that, then goes to find Le Table. Ali hits the Suicida to stop the table set up, classic heel depriving the table pop. Ali finds a smaller guitar case, places it in the corner, Irish Whip blocks into a Pop-Up Sitout Powerbomb from Elijah! Both are selling a little before the crawl up strike exchange. Elijah Ole’s Ali into the guitar case in the corner, and Ali takes it face first. Elijah sets up another table and we go to commercial.

They’re on the apron, Elijah wants a Spicolli Driver, but Ali kicks his way out of it, posts Elijah and places him on a table. Ali goes for the 450 through the table and connects! Order 4 shows up even though they were barred from ringside. Agent Zero, puts Elijah into the casket and Elijah hits him with Mr Fuji’s Racist Salt. Takes out the Great Hands, throws Zero into the remaining musical instruments. Grabs Tasha, Ali tries to hit him while he’s distracted but Elijah turns and Ali spanks Tasha with a guitar. Ali eats the Highwayman’s Farewell.

Great Hands block closing the casket, Ali with a Low Blow out of the casket and it was close. They give Ali another guitar. Ali kicks Elijah in the face a few times, they place a door above the open casket, Superkick from Ali. 450 misses, Elijah hits Ali in the face with the guitar! Hotch and Skylar get sent through the first table! Elijah with a Chokeslam through the door, into the casket, and closes the casket. Elijah wins.

Overall Score: 6/10

Well another good show. Kinda on par with last week where it felt a little slow at points, but generally kept things moving well. Arianna as the bitchy nepobaby works, even though I don’t like Trey, he’s better than Stacks, so no complaints there. Indi winning over the Elgantos confuses me slightly because Xia and Lei are a tag team, so if Indi is relying on Xia to partner up again, that’s weird unless they expand Angel Warriors to a faction of three. Hardyz and Righteous is…okay. It feels like an obvious swerve, but there aren’t really any face tag teams aside from the Hardyz right now since they just introduced Swann and BDE. So turning the Righteous would feel dumb too. It’s definitely an angle where the resolution where dictate if it was worth the trip.

Tessa with the DQ is great. She’s a shitty heel right now, it keeps her away from the Knockouts title, and just makes all of the logical sense. While TNA needs tag teams, they also need people who look presentable on television, especially with their numbers going up. Sinner and Saint look like guys who give pony rides at a County Faire, not wrestlers. They ain’t it. As I said in the write up, Elayna and Mara had a really good “start of feud” promo. IF Elayna can keep this fire…then I might come around to liking her for more than aesthetic reasons.

Lastly, the main event concept was a little dumb, but the match was surprisingly fun, well paced and Order 4 got their comeuppance. So good way to end the show. What is this…like 7 in a row now counting No Surrender? TNA…don’t trick me with consistency now. I’m not used to having hope.
