Andrew’s TNA Impact Results & Match Ratings: 7.23.2026

I don’t really find myself excited to see what’s going on with TNA. I was probably as surprised as everyone else to see that last week popped their largest audience number since being on AMC with 286,000 viewers, but…why? Was it just the VICE hype of putting the TNA name back in people’s news feeds?

Let’s see if this week is better or if they just keep playing it super safe and not really doing a ton of anything.

Results:

Frankie Kazarian & AJ Francis w/Expressions vs Elijah & Moose

Frankie and Elijah start off and once again Elijah does the stupid Rope Walk in the first like 12 seconds of the match. Who believes that someone will let a dude walk on ropes and crash down on their arm in a blink of an eye?. Moose tags in and Kaz bails because he’s aware enough to run away but not stop a man from walking on ropes. Big boys do big boy things, Elijah tags back in but Expressions gets in the way and Tennessee Whisky allows for a blind tag from Kazarian.

Frankie goes for the Chicken Wing, but Elijah fights him off. A few more spots, Moose tags in and hits Frankie with a Uranage. Francis is in, and Moose gives him a one way trip out of  the ring. Moose looks for the Lights Out, but Frankie cuts him off with a lung blower. Francis with the tag, looking for the Down Payment, Moose coconuts the idiots and tags in Elijah. Elijah is legal, avoids the Down Payment, wants the Rope Walk but Expressions shakes the ropes and Elijah falls into the Cash Out from AJ! AJ and Kaz win!

This had no heat, was uninteresting and very paint by numbers with heels and a chickenshit manager. I really don’t care about any of these four right now, and that’s problematic since Moose is supposed to be their “face of the franchise” and AJ Francis has been doing great work, but they’re giving these guys less than LA Knight gets.

KO TV Tournament: Wendy Choo vs Elayna Black

Elayna is my favorite to win the whole thing since she likes to talk about how many eyes are on her because of her OnlyFans, so…I think it makes sense.

Elayna Knee Lift after the tie up, but Elayna pats Wendy on the head and teases her instead of real offense, so Wendy returns the teasing. A nice Hip Toss float over from Wendy for two, then she tries to stay on Elayna with another quick cover, but Elayna kicks out and then powders. Elayna runs her mouth while powdering and baits Wendy into grabbing in the ropes, so Elayna Stun Guns Wendy and starts walking her around with Chops against the apron. Elayna breaks the count, bounces Wendy’s face off the apron and then throws her in. A quick Goomba Stomp and a two count for Elayna.

Wendy manages to dodge the Elbow against the ropes, Cradle, but Elayna kicks out and Elayna levels Wendy. Elayna says she thinks Wendy sucks, and locks her in a Headlock. Wendy tries to fight up, but Wendy does the Hair Pull slam and then hits her Elbow on the ropes while Wendy is trying to pull herself up. Wendy gets tossed into the corner, Corner V Trigger and another two by Choo. Bow and Arrow submission from Elayna, but Wendy powers out, takes Elayna down, fires up and goes into a comeback. Back to back Lariats, Reverse Whip, Hammerlock Rainmaker from Wendy! Cartwheel Forearm into a Sidekick Face Wash and Choo Choo Neckbreaker for two. Wendy goes for the Snooze Button, but Elayna fights off, they trade kicks, and Elayna tries to climb but Wendy kicks her feet out and hits the Hanging DDT for yet another two count.

Elayna pushes off and hits two Knees a Belly to Belly and Wendy kicks out. We’re getting close to the 10 minute time limit at this point. Both start slugging it out, Elayna only partly gets Blackout but Choo powders to the outside. Elayna is climbing the buckles, but Wendy slides in, cuts off Elayna and hits the Superplex in a bad moment of awkward selling. Wendy can’t get to the pinfall and the match ends in a Draw, so they’re both eliminated.

The crowd chants let them fight, but Xia attacks Elayna. Wendy tries to delay Xia but Xia attacks Wendy. So…because Xia doesn’t have a number one contender, they ruin a KO tournament match for a dumb triple threat? What? This…makes no sense and gives Maggie Lee a BYE to the semi-finals. 

The votes continue to come in. #TNAiMPACT @MustafaAli_X @RealTSteelz @itsmilamoore @TheJasonHotch @TheJohnSkyler @BigBillCollier pic.twitter.com/tuRKIx84Qo

The System comes out, color by numbers heel promo about running the place and being gatekeepers or something. Ricky comes out to acknowledge his loss last week but also get across the fact it was only because of shenanigans. Leon Slater’s uncharismatic ass comes out next, they want a match now, but of course it’s next week. Ugh…I am asleep for this crap. If only the company had more than four tag teams to make an entire division. 

The winner of the International Vote IS…..@TheJasonHotch, and @MustafaAli_X wants to re-run the vote! #TNAiMPACT @itsmilamoore @TheJohnSkyler @RealTSteelz @TheDariaRae @BigBillCollier pic.twitter.com/IxEKKUFJJ1

Righteous Deletion: The Righteous vs The Broken Hardyz

The cinematic starts with the Righteous walking up to the compound and “shining light” to appear in the a meadow area. Matt can sense them, Gothic Baby announces The Hardyz are coming in the same way the Righteous’ woman says it. They are in some wood shed with a divine light, Righteous touch the light and the two teams start walking towards each other.

They begin brawling on the lawn with the Hardy symbol mowed into it. Matt tries to delete Dutch on a Dilapidated Boat, but Dutch turns it around and Nero attacks Dutch, Poetry in Motion against a tree! Vincent grabs a shovel and lays out the Hardyz. The Righteous grab the Dilapidated Boat but the Hardyz teleport away and acknowledge it, so Vincent and Dutch also teleport and now they’re in the Hardy Hangar with their personal ring. They start brawling in the ring, Jeff hits his Mule Kick, Double Suplex on Dutch and go for the Twist and Swanton finish but Vincent stops Jeff. So Matt tries to Delete Dutch himself with a Twist but Dutch powers out. Dutch shoves off another Twist, hits Death Walks and Matt powders. Starts fighting back but has to get his shoe and mentions it as “Dammit I need my shoe”, they then fight out of the of the hangar and we go to commercial.

We come back and Righteous and walking through a house of memories or something, while Dutch is fighting Matt on the patio. Matt bites Dutch, and scurries away hitting the Bulldog into the Pool. Now they’re sitting around a fire pit drinking, reminiscing about beating each other and laughing. Matt puts over the Wicked Garden, they all sing the Obsolete song together. Doctor Wolfy shows up and tells Dutch his partner may not make it, and now Vincent disappears. Wolfy says Vincent died and Dutch asks him for a cigarette. They open a casket, and Vincent shoves a Lily of the Valley into Dutch’s mouth, and the Hardyz hug him as he’s choking and poisoned. The Hardy Children attack Dutch, Reby hits a Twist of Fate on Dutch who’s dying of being poisoned. Gothic Baby uses her confetti magic, Maxel hits him with a Swanton and now Dutch is being attacked by Willow! Dutch wakes up alone in the pool after being owned by Willow.

Now Nero and Vincent are fighting in the grass, Vincent DDTs him and grabs Fireworks. Matt cuts him off before he can shoot the fireworks at Nero, and Dutch starts to wipe them out. Dutch says “They tried to kill me back there”, but finds a bag and now they have a Firework’s gun fight. Vincent shoves another Lily in Matt’s mouth, they throw the Hardyz into the lake of Reincarnation. Now they come out in GOAT masks and GOATS shirts. But Jeff needs another GOAT and comes out with his Immortal Title and Antichrist gimmick! Antichrist gets a Front Loader in position and Swanton through two tables, and Deletes The Righteous! They Cleanse The Righteous, and say that they are forever…and then some.

That…was…insane. I’m shocked Jeff decided to embrace the Immortal Antichrist gimmick again. It was fun, I’m not sure where it lands in the landscape of Broken and Woken cinema, but it was great.

Hotch is outside of Management’s office, but Leon tells him that it’s not a rib and the boys want him to break out of Ali’s shadow. Hotch is torn, but before he knocks on the door, he gets a call from someone who he’s relieved to hear from.

KO TV Tournament: Alisha Edwards vs Jada Stone

I like Jada a lot, so hopefully we get at least one correct finish in this tournament today. 

Alisha gets a few strikes but a Matrix Headscissors into a few Corner Crashes, Sliding Lariat and Standing Moonsault give Jada a near fall. Alisha powders, but Jada kicks Lish into Eddie’s arms, then Jada flies, but Eddie gets Lish out of the way, eats the Dive and gives Lish a chance to blind side Jada. Back in the ring, Lish beats on her in the corner, Overhead Chop, Jada fights back but Lish hits an ugly Powerslam. Lish chokes Jada on the ropes and pulls her hair til 4, then chokes her in the corner til 4. Lish doing good basic heel stuff. Jada does fire up Lariats, Lish tries a Snapmare but Jada cartwheels through it, drops Lish, Split Legged Moonsault for two! Lish rakes the eyes and hits DeLish, but only a two count! Forearm rocks Jada, but Jada hits a Superkick.

Jada wants a Handspring but Eddie grabs her, Lish tries to take advantage, but Jacknife Cradle, and Jada wins!

The finish was correct and the match was about as good as you can expect from Lish.

Ali asks if Hotch did the thing he asked, Hotch said not really. Tells Ali he talked to his wife, and his wife said he deserves this opportunity. Hotch is respectfully challenging Ali and says “With all due respect, see you next week”. Hotch should win that match next week. 

TNA World Championship: Nic Nemeth (c) vs KC Navarro

The match starts after what should’ve been the final commercial, there’s about 15 minutes left in the show, so it could be pretty good.

They jaw, then Nic slaps the taste out of KC’s mouth, tells him he doesn’t belong, KC feints like he’s leaving but a Superkick, 2 count, Locomotion Cradles causes Nic to have to hit a desperation Back Elbow to stun KC. Nic shakes off the early shock, and starts to choke and gouge at KC’s eyes. KC tries to fire out of the corner but Nic kicks the surgically repaired knee and KC crumples. Nic is talking mad crap, and KC tries to fire but Nic keeps overwhelming him.

KC hits a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors off the rope run, strike combo into a Snapmare and Running Splash for another two count. Nic powders and KC flies after him. Nic is rocked, KC goes up, hits a Frog Splash but Nic kicks out. That’s about half a dozen near falls in four minutes. KC tries the 305, but Nic avoids it, rocks KC and hits a Hanging Neckbreaker. Oh…we go to another commercial. Now that’s lame.

Coming back, KC it swinging wildly and Nic just grabs him, drops him and does his hip swivel. Stinger Splash from Nic and KC looks like he’s barely alive. Nic tries a Bronco Buster but KC dodges and Nic crotches himself. The crowd tries to rally KC, rope run, Lariat, into a Dropkick, KC fires, Splash, Reverse Whip, Up and Over, Blessing…no…more of a Satellite DDT and only a two count. KC looks to hit Destino/Blessing in Disguise, but Nic dodges, Nic throws a Kicks but gets Cradled for two, KC posts himself and Nic Cradles him but kicks out! Nic kicks the bad knee, goes for a FameASSer, but KC turns it into a Powerbomb…but only a two count! Both are struggling to get up as KC tries to smack feeling back into his knee. Locomotion Cradle Spot, but KC hits a FameASSer!  Only a two count, but there’s a lot of hope for KC. He’s begging for Blessing, but Nic clocks him with a Superkick! Beautiful spot, but KC kicks out at two!

Nic pie faces him, says “Why won’t you die”, “Screw You” from KC, Dropkick to the spine, 305, Code Red! 1-2-…nope! KC tries the Blessing set up one more time…but Nic throws him off and hits Danger Zone! Nic barely escapes KC.

Overall Score: 6.9/10

I mean the Elayna finish is moronic. You have a woman who people pay extra money to see, you invent a title that is supposed to be defended on television weekly…and you eliminate her in the most ass backwards attempt at logic for a doofus mediocre at best match. Aside from that though, the Righteous Deletion was fantastic if you enjoy the Hardyz specific brand of zany cinema. And the main event was great. KC really had a lot of wonderful hope moments, but he’s really accomplished nothing in the company, so having him randomly win would’ve made zero sense. I love KC, but him losing is very correct.

Also Hotch was the one I wanted to win the vote, and now let’s see if he can shake up the Order of Order 4 and actually defeat Ali. They had a really great match at Against All Odds in 2025 with Hotch falling short, but proving he’s definitely the SANADA in this group. Now, let’s have Hotch do something SANADA couldn’t, and actually take gold off of the leader.

Pretty good show, minus the Elayna match and the fact that I don’t care about AJ, Moose, Elijah and Kaz.
