Chicago’s own Hannah Heavin sings the Star-Spangled Banner.
CM Punk returns home to Chicago.
“People ask me, ‘Does pressure bother you?’ Pressure feels like this city I grew up in. Like the walls that shake when the trains go by. The wind that hits you head on. Growing up here, you learn how to stay calm when it’s loud. To think straight when everything’s closing in. That’s why the Chamber never rattled me. Whether it’s one-on-one on the outside, or a battle on the inside, when that door slams shut and the world goes quiet, everyone feels that weight. Getting through it isn’t a win, it’s the price for chasing what matters most. So all this pressure? It feels like home.” Chicago Made Punk, but will it break him? Welcome to Elimination Chamber!

Danhausen is in the WWE, does that mean we’re all CURSED?
Men’s Elimination Chamber: Cody Rhodes VS Logan Paul VS Randy Orton VS LA Knight VS Je’Von Evans VS Trick Williams!
Roman Reigns gets CM Punk at WrestleMania, so this match is all about challenging Drew McIntyre. And if you asked the American Nightmare, he wouldn’t have it any other way! Will Cody get his hands on the Scottish Terminator that’s been more like a giant chicken? Will the last-minute addition of The Maverick shake things up? Will the Viper strike and go for number 15? Will The Megastar get his Mania moment? Or will one of the NXT call-ups go straight from first-time Chamber main event, to first-time WrestleMania main event?

This masked man reveals himself, and YES! IT’S SETH ROLLINS!! Heyman has seen a ghost, because now all his sins are coming back to haunt him!! The fans sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as The Visionary leaves his former faction behind. But this all means we have only Cody and Orton left. The fans fire up as both men stand, but DREW MCINTYRE CLOBBERS CODY!! The door wasn’t closed and this snake slithered in!

Then a CROSS RHODES!!
Drew is now out of the equation, and R K O!!! Cover, ORTON WINS?!?
Winner: Randy Orton, by pinfall (advances to WrestleMania)
The Viper told his former friend that if it came down to this, there would be no hesitation. And now Cody knows, Orton was a man of his word! The Visionary and the Scottish Terminator were wild cards that changed the odds, and now WrestleMania sees Orton get his chance at number 15! Will the Legend Killer continue to chase his true rival in John Cena? Or will Drew find a way to stack the deck in his favor?
My Thoughts:
A great Elimination Chamber, though they really milked entrances for the Chamber matches to help reach three hours, especially with the men’s. And in both Chamber matches, they went with winners I did NOT see coming. The Women’s Chamber felt like Tiffany’s to win to set up a rematch with Jade Cargill, but perhaps with how Tiff and Chelsea have been feuding throughout all this Chamber build, Tiff VS Chelsea is the real WrestleMania story. Jade VS Rhea is great just on star power, but also on how Jade makes Rhea the physical underdog since Jade is taller and more muscular. Now, the question would be, is Rhea moving to SmackDown full time as part of this? That could be an interesting story beat with Iyo having to be happy for Rhea but unsure what her own future will be.
The Men’s Chamber was a great main event, and a wild one at that. Logan eliminating three names in a row was a bit booty, but at least he gets his comeuppance via Seth Rollins’ appearance. They had one more decoy “masked man” to then set things up for Rollins, and him sticking it to Logan and scaring the life out of Heyman was all great. Whether or not Theory is still Rollins’ mole, Rollins might need an ally trying to take The Vision on, even with it just being Logan and Theory. Maybe we still get Grayson Waller joining this story after he was the body double for Rollins week in and week out, which works logically because Waller is still upset with Theory up and ditching him. Then either Rollins’ new Vision wins straight up, or Theory turns on Logan to join Rollins after all.
R-Truth and the General Managers had a fun promo with the crate to plug Papa John’s, and the crate reveal… Well, I don’t think Chicago expected Danhausen, and I’m not sure they wanted Danhausen. Perhaps foolishly, fans either wanted Chris Jericho or Seth Rollins or some other return, but those were not realistic expectations. Jericho is still All Elite after some “missed time” extension, and Rollins did the main event bit. I personally love that it’s Danhausen, that gag is exactly the kind of thing he’d do. Though, I will say he should’ve done more. Danhausen should have at least talked so that fans who don’t understand could understand, and perhaps they’d be more accepting.
And naturally, the title matches went Chicago’s way. Great match from Becky Lynch VS AJ Lee with Jessica Karr also getting in on the act, and AJ winning the title wasn’t just for the pop from the audience but also because it was the fitting story. AJ humbles Becky, if just for tonight, and we can build towards an even bigger match at WrestleMania. But I wonder if they’ll give Jessica Karr a chance to wrestle Becky. Karr was on Evolve for like two or three episodes, but I’m pretty sure she’s still been training behind the scenes, and it’d fit story of Becky blames Karr for everything. Plus, WrestleMania is two nights, let Becky get cocky with a win on Night One to then lose to AJ again on Night Two.
Then CM Punk VS Finn Balor was a great match, and just a straight up match at that. Finn even had that moment where he chose not to call Judgment Day to the ring, so there are no excuses as to what happened. Plus, he showed respect to Punk for real tonight, I think this smooths things over for them for now. Punk VS Roman is going to finally kick into gear as we’re 49 days away from Mania, and Finn can focus on the Judgment Day dysfunction to possibly get an Intercontinental Championship match with Dominik Mysterio.
My Score: 9/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 3.5.2026
Two title matches tonight! Do they amount to anything?
Coming off the worst show in a few months, but still tolerable, we get a Live show today. Now we know that most TNA shows have audio run by a high school AV club, so there is bound to be muted audio, dumb stuff and mics that aren’t on. So we can only hope the show is good regardless of audio.
I don’t really love two perceivably useless title matches though. Jody Threat is not a threat to anything beyond catering. She’s trash and has no shot against Arianna even if there wasn’t going to be cheating. Plus Nic already has the trophy for a World title shot, so giving him the X Division makes no sense.
Lets see where this goes.

Results:
TNA Knockouts World Championship: Jody Threat vs Arianna Grace (c) w/Stacks
Tessa’s music hits right after Arianna’s and it blended gorgeously. Tessa’s crew looks amazing especially Tessa. So I’m…not upset.
Arianna attacks Jody as soon as the bell rings, Jody does turn it around into Short Arm Lariats in the corner and an Exploder Suplex. But then Dani Luna walks out through the crowd to watch. I do like that the muddied Knockouts title picture is being put on display. Indi Hartwell walks out too. Arianna lays in some trips and knees after Jody gets distracted. Twisting Neckbreaker from Arianna and we see Lei and Xia on the ramp too. The whole Knockouts Division are circling like sharks…it’s cool and all the Knockouts look great.
Jody fires but the crowd doesn’t really care. They aren’t reacting to her, just kinda amusing themselves. Double Knees, Release German into a Michinoku Driver for two. Stacks pulls out Arianna allowing Jody a Dive spot to wipe out Stacks. Arianna and Jody tug of war over the Cobra, Arianna wins the tug of war, kicks Jody in the ribs and Roll-Up retains!
The match was useless because Jody sucks and isn’t a real threat. So it was fine to give Arianna a title defense, but there was no way Jody was winning and this still made her look bad.
The Elegantos walk out, Mr. E is wearing Daisy Dukes. Literally, not figuratively. The only way this dude will be salvageable is if he ends up being Kurt Angle in the ring. They start insulting Mama June who’s in the audience, and they say she should be at a Food Truck. So ODB shows up. The Elegantos continue to talk shit, ODB takes them out, kicks Mr. E in the nards and her with the Mama June cast dump Chilli all over the Elegantos. A dumb stop, but ODB is a TNA Legend and I think she was talking about retiring this year. So it’s always nice to see One Dirty Bitch.
The System vs The Righteous vs Sinner & Saint vs BDE & Rich Swann
BDE starts with one of the loser jabronis, they tag the other in, Rewind Suplex into a tandem Dropkick, but then Rich tags in Bear Bronson takes a Blind Tag, wipes out Rich and BDE, Jabronis do a stupid assisted Dive spot but BDE and Swann get their spot in and then Dutch does his big boy Tope con Hilo. The crowd likes it but I don’t care about the car crash spot.
Dutch and Righteous have some tandem offense, but Bear with another blind tag, Choke Bomb from Bear on Vincent for two. A few more stomps before tagging to Myers and then Vincent starts to fight up but Myers cuts him off. Bear tags back in, tandem Suplex gets reversed into a Double Neckbreaker and the match breaks down a little. Jabronis get laid out by Swanny, Frankensteinering one into the other for two. Nerds double team Swann, but they suck so Rich eventually rolls out of it, BDE tags in, his Oscutter gets caught and simultaneous Lariats for the random tag spot. Vincent tags in, but BDE Small Package gets two. Dutch and Vincent with an Assisted Cutter and everyone else breaks up the pinfall.
Vincent with a DDT/Flatliner combo after the mayhem, Roster Cut and Spear from Myers, Bear with a Fire/Thunder Driver for the win!
Decent enough, the right team won anyway. Jabronis are trash, BDE & Swann are too new and Righteous is in a weird spot while we just saw them get a shot.
Moose and Alisha come out to address things. Moose says The System ain’t family, and shouts out his former Falcons teammates in attendance like John Abraham. Moose is bringing decent intensity, he’s just tripping over a lot of his punchlines.
Elayna Black vs Mara Sade
Collar and elbow tie up, running each other into ropes before Elayna tries to take advantage of the break, Mara turns it around but then Elayna finds a spot to hit her own chop. They’re both throwing a lot of personality and countering the others stuff. It’s basic but not offensive. Elayna dodges a Plancha, but Mara catches herself which is clever, but then Elayna trips her on the apron and she crashes down. So both are showing clever spots. Chop into a Rope Bounce Stomp for a near fall.
Elayna connects with a Fun Splash into the ropes, then kicks Mara in the face multiple times before goading the crowd and peppering in Elbows before a near fall. Elayna gets a Bow and Arrow locked in, with Mara fighting through it. Mara throws a few punches into Lariats, and a Slingblade. Mara is on a roll, Springboard Crossbody from Mara for two. Mara wanted a Double Arm DDT, but it’s blocked, Mara ole’s Elayna’s charge, Dropkicks her to the outside and throws her back in after the Plancha. Missile Dropkick for good measure and Mara is in full control.
Elayna finds an avenue to stop Mara’s offense with a DDT. She powders and grabs a chair. During the referee taking the chair, she uses the knuckles she had hidden, lays out Mara and wins the match.
Honestly okay match, and the BS finish means there’s a chance to get more out of it. They seem to work well together.

Audio issues continue to plague this show and TNA Live events in general. Kaz and Elijah is an okay King’s Speech segment. Elijah does like these mid promo cutaways, which is funny yet hampered because of audio issues. Devolves into Kaz basically just title mogging him, then AJ Francis chucks Home Town Man off the stage into the audience level and Elijah goes to check on him in typical babyface fashion.
TNA X Division Championship: Nic Nemeth w/Ryan vs Leon Slater (c)
Nic with a quick Head and Arm cradle for a near fall and a few quick amateur wrestling spots. Leon tries to fight back, the wrist tape to the face shortcut from Nic, before Leon Dropkicks Nic out of the ring, Dives, rolls Nic back in and Ryan trips up Leon on the way back in so Nic hits the FAMEasser for a near fall. Nic follows up with the Boot Lace Rake and moving into deliberate pacing with shortcuts, thumb to the eye, measure Leon as he stumbles for a Dropkick and another near fall before the commercial kicks in.
Coming back from commercial Leon counters the Irish Whip straight into the turnbuckle and Nic goes crashing. Leon runs the ropes, takes Nic’s Head off, Spiderman Rebound Leg Lariat for a nearfall. Leon goes to the top, Nic hits the ropes to crash Leon and big Implant DDT for a two count. Leon slow to get up, Danger Zone almost, Lethal Injection counter, almost, Nic runs into Leon and Leon catches him with the Blue Thunder Bomb for a two count.
Leon heads back to the buckles, 450 nope, Superkick nope, Rewind Mule nope, FAMEasser, but Leon grabs him, hangs him and Styles Clash. Leon goes to the top, 450 but eats the knees! Nemeth locks in the Rear Naked Choke. Leon turns it into a near fall so Nic has to break it for a second, he tries to reapply but Leon drops back to break the hold. Leon fires up, kicks off Ryan, charges and eats a Superkick! Only a two count though. Nic shoves Leon into the corner, perches him. Wants the Superplex, but Leon counters with an Avalanche Final Cut.
Swanton 450, and Leon retains.
Eric Young attacks Leon after the match, Piledrivers him on the outside and then poses with the title before what is probably the last commercial break of the night since Mike Santana needs to talk.
Santana wants Maclin reinstated, sexy SUIT heel shows up and says “Fuck you, but its a good idea”. So she agrees to reinstate Maclin and then Santino makes the match for Sacrifice. Santana is happy but says it’s on sight, and commentary is flabbergasted because they gave Maclin what he wanted.
Overall Score: 5.5/10
While the title matches had no suspension of disbelief, all the correct people went over. The tag team 4 way was haptic but solid with the correct winner. I don’t like Leon but beating Nic is correct. The Elegantos were a decent joke spot for the Legend + crowd interaction moment. Elijah with a new cutaway interview gimmick could be great if mic’d correctly. Lish cheerleading Moose in some cuckhold ass beating angle is hilariously embarassing for the time we live in. But I would still prefer that over Lish doing the obvious thing by turning on Moose when it gets to Eddie’s turn to get his ass beat.
Lastly, Maclin proves that complaining gets you everything. So hooray for negative reinforcement!
Still an okay show honestly. Decent matches, nothing really dragged the pace down.

Backstage interview with Adam Priest & Tommy Billington.
Lexy Nair is with the Modern British Bulldogs, and she brings up their success as a tag team, as well as their recent success in singles matches. Adam apologizes for interrupting but he wants to talk about that. They have dominated in tag matches and singles matches, but Tommy had Jay Lethal squirming and ready to tap. But of course, The Swirl comes out to screw Tommy over. And they will handle that business, but tonight, they’re back in tag action against The Workhorsemen. And the thing is, those guys taught Adam everything he knows, yet they come up short against Adam Priest. Now, he’s pretty sure Tommy has words for Jay Lethal.
Tommy says that’s right. He tells Lethal that Lethal might think they have unfinished business, but no, they don’t. Tommy treated Lethal like a brother, Lethal was a mentor to him, watched his back when no one else did. But the thing is, once Tommy & Adam are down with the Workhorsemen, they go after Lethal. Either it’s Tommy or Adam, but they will end this with Lethal! So watch your back! Adam thanks Lexy and the Bulldogs head out. Will they make JD Drake & Anthony Henry an example of this fury that lies within?
Adam Priest & Tommy Billington VS The Workhorsemen!
Tense as things are, Tommy keeps the Code of Honor with Drake & Henry. The teams sort out, and Adam starts with Henry.

Only for Tommy & Adam to SHOVE Drake into Henry! Henry tumbles out, but then Drake TOSSES Adam! Henry KICKS Adam down, but Tommy DROPKICKS Drake out! The fans rally as the Workhorsemen regroup, and Tommy builds speed! Tommy DIVES, but Drake catches him! “Now you’re dead!” Drake pops Tommy up against ropes to then CLOBBER him!

Winners: Adam Priest & Tommy Billington, by pinfall
The Bulldogs pull victory from the jaws of defeat! They keep on winning as a team, but will they be able to bring down The Swirl and the Franchise Player?
Athena is backstage.
The Fallen Goddess smiles as Billie Starkz is up to something just around the corner, but then she spots the cameraman. “Oh, snap! Come here! Let’s go!” Athena pulls the cameraman into the room, and Billie has finished beating up Deonna Purrazzo! Athena tells Maya World that well, her petty is stronger than 50 Cent. She doesn’t take losses lightly. And not only did Maya “betray” Athena, but she threw her hat in with this hussy instead of her “Minion Mother” and “Minion Sisters.” This is a lesson: You mess with Athena, you embarrass her, and she claps back twice as hard! But sweet, sweet Pure Champion Deonna, your time is coming to an end!
Because Billie is not gonna disappoint Athena again. She will make history again as she becomes the first woman to have held ROH Women’s TV AND ROH Women’s Pure Championship. And this isn’t personal, but just know this is Athena’s show, and Deonna is a side character. Athena & Billie leave Deonna down and out, but will they reign over ROH no matter what it takes? Or will they regret talking down to Maya and the Virtuosa?
La Faccion Ingobernable speaks.
Sammy Guevara hushes everyone before he says, “Everybody’s Favorite Pillar is about to talk. Sammy Guevara & Beast Mortos have been an el fuego, baby! And that means ‘fire’ in Spanish. We have been undefeated as a tag team. Personally, I believe we are one of the greatest tag teams to walk the face of this earth. Me personally, I’m on my THIRD consecutive reign as ROH Tag Team Champion, without ever losing it! Back-to-back-to-back, never before seen in professional wrestling! But now Tony Khan, he told us we are forced, contractually obligated, to go and defend these titles.
“So here’s an open challenge! To any former world champions, former world tag team champions! Whether it’s this week, next week, the week after, it doesn’t matter, because the result is always gonna be the same. And after we kick your ass, don’t try to sue us, because this man is a shoot lawyer! So if you need a lawyer, call 1-800…” Mortos adds, “ROOOAR~! See you in court, hahaha!” Sammy says step up, or get stepped on! LFI is infinitely confident, but will they still be tranquilo once someone answers the call?
Four Leaf Corner Survival #1 Contender’s Match: Shane Taylor VS Lee Johnson VS AR Fox VS Matt Menard!

It was quite the fight, but the fighting isn’t over! The ref brings the lucky prize box to Fox, and it’s time to see what gold is at the end of the rainbow. Fox brings out the paper, and it reads… INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!? The Rainmaker is here on ROH, and he’s ready to defend his title! Will Fox be ready to bring down one of the best in the world today? Or will Okada make it rain in Jacksonville?

But Okada DROPKICKS Fox! Then ripcord and RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!
Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Okada indeed made it rain, washing away Fox’s dream of holding gold. But will Okada have this same luck when he faces someone at 100%? Or will nothing stop the Don Callis Family from running both AEW and ROH?
My Thoughts:
A great ROH here to begin their new studio show era. The crowd wasn’t the biggest, but I feel like ROH didn’t advertise very well. That is to say, AEW didn’t help ROH advertise this change, no one officially announced it, it just happened. Just another reason TK needs people helping him with everything. Also, can they not do a FULL two hours? We need to keep it at 90 minutes max, but more preferably an hour on average. Two hours should be reserved for “special episodes,” which this did fall under.
Anyway, very good matches all over, great showings for everyone. Perse of course beat Leon, and that CMLL Women’s World Championship match with Mercedes Mone will be great, but I can’t be sure of Perse’s chances. Sidney Akeem continues to do creative, innovative things in the ring, he and CLØN need to have a match just to break the minds of everyone watching. The ROH Tag Division is clearly growing stronger, even if it is maybe quantity over quality. Top Flight gets a great win off GYV, and their interaction with “Paid In Full” clearly teases a match there. Bill & Keith of course won, but I’m not even sure that new name makes sense.
Very good promo from Adam & Tommy to call out “The Lethal Twist,” and they got a very good match and very good win over The Workhorsemen. Good to see Juice Robinson is cleared for action, he and Austin Gunn got a good win off MXM. Very good showing for Zayda against Mina but Zayda has now lost to both Love Bombs. The promo from Good stuff from Lacey VS Robyn, with a very good win for Lacey. I forget all of who have lost Proving Grounds to Red Velvet but I wouldn’t mind seeing Lacey battle Red Velvet real quick.
Athena, Billie and Deonna was good, and it’s about time they officially declared Deonna VS Billie. Athena calling out Maya World again is good, but given they’re doing a Proving Ground first, I feel like they could give Maya that win, and then she ultimately loses in the title match. Athena hasn’t lost any singles match, even a Proving Ground match, in the entire three years she’s been champion, so at least give Maya that achievement.
And great stuff with the “double main event.” I’m still not much for “Four Corners” where you tag in and stuff, just give us a flat out Fatal 4 Way where everyone’s active at once. It turned into that before Menard was eliminated anyway. But Fox winning out was great, he’s been needing wins beyond the “money prize” matches. Okada being the “random” champion was awesome, definitely unexpected. But of course Okada won, Fox went through a very tough match just before that, and also he’s Okada. Fox needs to feud with Nick Wayne now that Nick is back, and Fox should take the TV title off him. Nick had that title the entire time he was injured, TK didn’t bother making an interim title for it like he did the women’s title, so time to get a new champ.
