Andrew’s TNA Impact! Results & Match Ratings: 7.2.2026

I shared it on Twitter so I figure I’ll share it here. This is how I’d like the Knockouts TV tournament to go. Since I see Xia defending against Lei whenever the rematch happens, I’d like either Mara or Indi to be focusing on the main title.

So now let’s see what the post-Dreamer but also pre-Road Dogg creative looks like. And how close I am to the bracket results!

Results:

Okay the show opens with Ryan Nemeth coming out to celebrate the victory with his BIIIG BROTHER. So business is already picking up since Ryan is on the television. Ryan calls Nic the best wrestler in the last 65,000 years. He’s such a toolbox, but it’s fantastic. 

Nic walks out and says he’ll discuss his body count, points at someone and says “not you”. Then Ryan produces a classic scroll looking list. But it’s body count, as in wrestler’s he’s beaten. KC Navarro hits the “Pardon Me” and interrupts Nic’s list. Ryan says “Don’t say brother, that’s OUR word, I’m the brother”. Nic is sick of Ryan and KC fighting and wants them to fight it out. 

Nic punctuates it with full blown beautiful arrogance. It wasn’t special, but the whole opening segment was handled beautifully. 

Knockouts TV Title Tournament: Mara Sade vs Tasha Steelz

Mara comes out with a quick Backslide and Cradle, but then Tasha counters and they go into a short locomotion Cradles spot. Tasha powders but then eats a Baseball Slide from Mara. Mara smashes Tasha’s face into the apron, taunts a little so Tasha gets a few moments to counter. Tasha tries to gloat but then Mara hits that off the Steps Dropkick she did at Slammiversary, so that might start being something in her bag. Tasha powders again, Mara tries the PK, but Tasha grabs the foot and slams her face first into the apron.

Tasha with the corner Uppercut, Enzuigiri, Forward Roll Snapmare into her own PK for the two count. Tasha has a weird Facelock on, but Mara fights up before Tasha rakes the eyes. A series of Short Arm Lariats from Tasha, Falcon Arrow and another two for Muva. Tasha goes to the top, tries to get Froggy and misses big! Mara retreats to the corner, Tasha gets up and charges but Mara moves and Tasha eats turnbuckle and crashes to the floor. Plancha from Mara on Tasha while she’s selling. Mara throws her back in, they start a strike exchange, Mara connects on some body shots, hits the ropes, Sling Blade! Mara with a Corner Hip Attack, then Forearm, Stomps a Mudhole, and Mara is on fire!

Mara tries something, Tasha tries a counter, but Mara ducks it, Mara hits a Sitout Powerbomb for two! Jaw jacker into a Neckbreaker, but only a two! Tasha goes for a Rings of Saturn, but Mara rolls it into a pinfall to get Tasha to break it. Tasha looks for the finish, but eats a Superkick! Mara wants the Moonsault but Tasha cuts her off, Tree of Woe! Steelz wants a sliding attack, but Mara sits up and Tasha crashes into the buckles! Mara then hits her Moonsault and wins the first round!

Ali and Agent Zero are out to judge Tasha’s failure and Ali hops on a phone call…but to who? Mara looked great though, in all aspects of what that statement can mean.

6 Way Scramble: BDE vs Rich Swann vs Fabian Aichner vs Mr Elegance vs Hometown Man vs Jason Hotch

Rich Swann and BDE start early with some rope runs and mirror moves. There’s a moment of respect before Mr Elegance enters, ruins the fun, then Fabian Aichner takes his head off. Hometown Man enters just to exit right away. Aichner hits an Avalanche Butterfly Suplex on Swann but BDE breaks the pinfall. Hotch with the Enzuigiri to Aichner, tries the Outside In Neckbreaker but HTM catches it, Airplane Spin clips a few guys and turns it into a TKO before taking to the Hometown Skies. Elegance ruins the fun, so BDE hits a Triangle Dropkick, but when BDE tries the Dive Elegance just throws him into a post. Phoenix Splash from Swann wipes out most people.

A little bit of a Tower of Doom spot that ends with Hotch delivering the bulk of the damage and goes for a few pinfalls but kick outs everywhere. HTM wants a Shiranui but Hotch blocks and then rocks him. Swann catches Hotch with the Lethal Injection, Elegance hits his weird DDT thing on Swann, BDE Frog Splash on Elegance and Aichner hits a Sitout Last Ride on BDE for the win!

A really fast car crashy spotfest, but it was fun, so hard to ask for more.

Ricky Sosa comes out to bask in his first ever PPV victory…even though it was on the Countdown, I guess it would still be on the DVDs. The Righteous walk out to spew some silly crap about remaking the Hardys, then The System comes out and it seems like a recruitment pitch from two sides. Lish was at least funny off the rip, I do enjoy Lish as a valet. That “Hey Ricky, I’m over here” line was great and her selling the ribs a little to try and combat boos to act like she’s hurt.

Ricky tells The Righteous no, and Cedric starts his hyena laugh, Ricky says “I don’t know why you’re laughing, cause to you guys, it’s Hell No”. System attacks Sosa, Righteous bail and Leon makes the save.

Knockouts TV Title Tournament: Heather by Elegance w/Maggie vs Allie w/Rosemary

Heather attacks Allie before the bell, the sneak attack into Corner attacks before Allie dodges, Heather’s face bounces off the buckles, Sliding D from Allie and Heather powders, Running Front Dropkick from Allie sends Heather into a heap on the floor. But Allie throws in Heather and then Heather Stun Guns Allie and begs for the count to start. Allie is selling a Stun Gun until 7 for some reason, Heather attacks her immediately once she slides in. Stomps and the Hair Pull takedown into some Ground and Pound. Heather chokes Allie on the middle rope, connects with a Running Dropkick while Allie is draped, for a near fall. Allie tries to fight but gets Irish Whipped, eats an Uppercut and then Snapmared into a Headlock.

Allie tries to elbow out, but Heather uses the hair to keep Allie grounded. Jumping Middle Rope Moonsault from Heather, but misses! Strike exchange begins as Allie is hammering in Forearms, rope run, Lariats into her Knee Lift. Allie takes Heather to the Upside Down and breaks before the 5 Count Disqualifies her. Allie tries to pull Heather back in on the buckles but Maggie is trying to cause a distraction, Maggie hits the ropes which helps Heather drop Allie from the buckles and then hit her Diving Stomp. Heather wins.

Sloppy and the camera angles didn’t make some the moves look great and left me wondering exactly what happened.

Xia comes out to gloat, it’s not bad, but it is a color by numbers heel champion promo. Lei cuts her off eventually, and Lei looks fantastic, and says she doesn’t see a champion, she sees a Fake Bitch. The expected “Fake Bitch” chant starts. Lei is cashing in her rematch next week and it will be a NoDQ match.

KC Navarro vs Ryan Nemeth w/Nic Nemeth

This match is hard for me because it’s like choosing between my two favorite children right now. I agree with what Nic said in the promo to open the show, these guys should be tag champs, since then I wouldn’t have to choose. I’m selfish, yes I know.

Ryan shoves KC and they jaw at each other. Rope run, KC ducks two of Ryan’s swings and KC hits the Sling Blade. Double Uppercuts, into a Forward Flip Neckbreaker. KC goes for a High Risk move but Ryan takes his legs out and KC crashes into the corner. Then Ryan hits the Neckbreaker on KC on the outside, rolls him back in and near fall. Ryan pulls KC’s hair and then clinches in the Headlock. Jaw Jacker from KC, Flying Lariat, Dropkick, Stinger Splash! Ryan reverses the Irish Whip, Up and Over, into a rope run and Satellite DDT for a near fall! KC wants to Bless Him, but Ryan dodges, then dodges the charge in the corner so KC posts himself and Ryan tries to use the tights but KC kicks out.

KC counters the Rude Awakening, hits the 305, Blessing in Disguise! KC WINS!

Nic is happy afterwards, because he thinks it should be squashed now, they begrudgingly shake hands, but then Nic hits KC with the Danger Zone! It was all a sham! 

I’m not really surprised, but Nic did just turn on a dime to snap it off, so it worked well. I still don’t want to choose between KC and Ryan…but I would be more than happy with building KC to take the title off Nic. 

Leon Slater vs Eddie Edwards w/Lish

Bell rings, Leon hits the Leg Lariat immediately, 10 Count Punches when Eddie stumbles into the corner, then takes off Eddie’s head again before Eddie pokes the eyes to stifle Leon. Rewind Feint, Handspring Elbow, Running Big Boot and a Plancha when Eddie goes to the floor. Eddie is rocked. Leon throws him in, flies, misses, but lands a Sole Butt, Whipped into the rope, Leon bounces off, wants another Leg Lariat but Eddie catches him and hits the Blue Thunder Bomb. Kobashi Knife Edge Chop into a heavy Irish Whip that sends Leon careening. Leon tries to kick Eddie away, but Eddie rakes Leon’s chest and then a Back Body Drop off the ropes for a 1 count.

Eddie starts choking Leon on the middle rope, gets the referee’s attention and then Lish chokes Leon. Leon sells to the corner and eats another NOAH born chop, Scoop Slam, and Eddie is looking for the Kobashi inspired Moonsault, but misses! Leon with back to back Forearms, Eddie tries to catch for another Blue Thunder, but Leon rolls out of it, connects on the bouncing Leg Lariat into a Crossover Crossbody for two! A Chop is answered by a Superkick from Slater, but when Leon heads up, Eddie cuts him off and hits the Backpack Stunner for two.

Jaw Jacker gives Leon space, but they both start cutting off rope runs, Eddie hits the Stacked Powerbomb into a Tiger Driver for two! Boston Knee Party countered into Leon’s own Blue Thunder Bomb, Cedric shows up to distract Leon and Eddie wins with a Dirty Cradle!

Cedric keeps up the attack after, Sosa comes out for the save with Leon and they clear the ring and end the show with Sosa’s music and a celebration.

Overall Score: 6.5/10

Nothing to really be mad at today, but also nothing really crazy. The KO TV Tournament matches went the way my bracket wanted them to, so I can’t complain about that even if the Heather vs Allie match was kinda bad…and it’s not all on Allie. Allie has been a much better wrestler since coming back to life, but maybe the match exposed her a little. The rest of the show was pretty good matches, fun segments and the fact the Injury Report wasn’t taken seriously was fantastic. This company has time travel and resurrection, the “Injury Report” trying to imitate real sports was laughably stupid. But Ocular Infection or whatever the Mist caused to the Concierge and Nic Nemeth’s update about being awesome and sexy or something like that…more of the comedy for that dumb segment. I’ve hated that segment since it started, but if you sprinkle in some silly stuff…I might be convinced it’s not moronic.

We get two title matches next week, I’m pretty sure I understood. So Tag Titles and the Knockouts rematch, hopefully one of them is good without any shenanigans. But yea…pretty good show.
