Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Ratings: 10.22.2026

So we got a little Shotzi tease last week after the tapings news dropped, we know Daria is back this week and Trey Miguel earned himself the right to be Leon Slater’s first defense. Aside from that, we do get to see Avery Styles’ iMPACT! in-ring debut against the most irritating man since James Ellsworth, Joe Alonzo.

The biggest thing for today, is the 2 out of 3 Falls International title rematch. Last week’s Hardy 35th Anniversary celebration was nice, but now we should be getting a damn good match.

Results:

Daria Rae comes out complaining about watching the idiots run the asylum. Daria says Indi doesn’t deserve the belt, so Indi cuts her off. Indi and Daria have a little banter, Indi tries to goad Daria but instead she tells Indi that Xia will get her rematch, literally, right now. So Indi doesn’t have time to change.

TNA Knockouts Championship: Indi Hartwell (c) vs Xia Brookside

Bell rings and Xia just mauls her, they roll around and throw hands, Indi charges the corner, misses, Xia pulls hair, tries to Irish Whip her but Indi counters it and hits a Lariat. Drapes Xia over the middle rope, Kick, Bootwash and a Big Boot sends Xia sprawling to the outside. Xia goes to grab the belt as a weapon, but Indi clocks Xia and gets a decent pop. When Indi puts the belt away, Xia takes advantage of the slight delay and starts working over the left arm that Apex attacked in the trios match last week. Ramming the arm into the apron, stepping on the arm in the steps, and Xia tries to hyper extend the elbow.

Darkside keeps attacking the arm, drops her ass on it, Armbar, and just continuing to try and break or hyperextend it. After a few more attacks to the arm, Xia charges and misses, a few good arm Lariats and a Rebound Spinebuster for two. Indi tries the Hurts Don’t It, but the arm damage catches up and Xia looks for a Fujiwara Armbar, but Indi rolls it into a Pin and Xia kicks out, Codebreaker and Indi kicks out at two. Darkside DDT, but no, Short Arm Big Boot into a Hurts Don’t It, and Indi retains.

Daria is on the ramp, Apex attacks, Hell and Back into the Kirifuda Clutch and Indi is left lying. 

Has @XiaBrookside found some guidance as to what's next for her? #TNAiMPACT pic.twitter.com/UQ5o0Li2zs

Fabian Aichner vs Cedric Alexander vs KC Navarro vs Rich Swann

Ealy attempts to take of Cedric, but Fabian drops KC and Rich, Cedric with a quick hitter, Rich and KC take out Fabian, Satellite DDTs, Cartwheel Handspring Splash, just total nonstop action. Commercial break, we come back and Swann flies in and takes out KC and Cedric…I think? It was a wide pan slowly coming in, Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker from Fabian, 305 from KC, rope agility but Cedric catches him, rope run and counters the Satellite DDT, tosses KC and hits a Sole Butt. Rich with a Backfist and Kick combo but eats a Michinoku Driver. Fabian with an Asai Moonsault to break it up, KC breaks up the next pinfall.

Rope run, Lift, Assisted Rough Ryder on Cedric, KC Dropkicks Fabian during Hasta La Vista and Rich lands on KC, two count. Rich wants Destroyer on the apron, but Cedric has an STO to say oh hell no. Triangle con Hilo from KC, Escalera Crossbody from Fabian into the pile on the outside. Cedric gets fed in, Cedric ducks, Roster Cut from Myers, Blackhole Slam from Bear, Cedric hits a Moonsault for the win. Gotta love NoDQ multiman matches.

Joe Alonzo vs Avery Styles w/Frankie Kazarian

Typical kind of Arm Wringer, Chain Wrestling nothing start but Avery doesn’t land the kip up clean. Joe with a cheapshot, rope runs, Styles Dropkick, and then things pick up a little, Avery looks for the Phenomenal Forearm, but Joe powders and Avery jumps off the steps and clocks him. Frankie High Fives Avery, and Avery tries to climb the ropes but Joe cuts him off and then stomps him. Joe is throttling Avery on the ropes, rams him chest first into the corner, Rebound Polish Hammer from Joe into a Sleeper. A little bit of a back and forth, Pele Kick from Avery, Joe telegraphs the Body Drop, Kick, Discus Forearm, Styles Corner Splash,, Facebuster and the Basement Forearm Bullet Club style.

Joe fights off, Avery wants the Phenomenal Forearm, but Joe catches him with a Superkick and Joe gets a very close two. Joe tries the Styles Clash, Avery counters, Avery and Joe are back and forth, Avery fakes out the Forearm so Joe crashes on the Dropkick, Phenomenal Forearm connects, SPIRAL TAP! Avery wins.

International Championship 2 out of 3 Falls Match: Jason Hotch (c) vs Mustafa Ali

They jaw to start with and the match starts with 20 minutes left in the show, so it gets a decent amount of time. Collar and Elbow tie up, not exactly a clean break, but…clean adjacent. Shoulder Tackle, Kip Up, feeling out spot. Chop from Ali, Dropkick and a Triangle John Woo to deny Ali to recover. Ali plays ring around the rosie a little. Hotch uses the steps then tries a Piledriver on the apron, but Ali counters, grabs Hotch off the post and Germans him onto the apron.

Back from the commercial, Ali wants the Rolling Neckbreaker but Hotch counters him into a DDT. Still 0-0, Hotch hits a combo, Short Arm…Backslide for 2, locomotion cradles. Ali steals the first fall during the locomotion! Ali 1 Hotch 0

Hotch starts firing back immediately, Hotch with the Bell Clap, Ali powders and Hotch with the Dive. Feeds him back in, Hotch goes up, but Ali powders. Hotch chases with the Golden Triangle Moonsault. Hotch bounces Ali’s face off the apron six times and the referee keeps counting. Referee is at 8, Ali uses the title, the referee sees it, so Hotch wins the fall via DQ. Ali 1 Hotch 1

Ali grabs Hotch and throws him into the ring, tries to pick the bones, but Hotch kicks out once, twice, thrice. Ali goes Brainbuster but Hotch floats it, Standing Switch, Ali flips out, shoves Hotch into the referee and he squishes her in the corner. Low Blow from Ali. Ali pulls Hotch’s belt off to whip him, like in previous singles matches. Hotch manages to grab the swing, clocks Ali and grabs his own belt. Turnabout is fair play? Hotch starts whipping Ali like a scolded dog!

As Hotch is dog walking and whipping Ali, Ali launches Hotch into the post. Referee is playing dead at this point. Ali wants an outside Superplex, but Hotch fights it, Ali flips away, Hotch flies and eats a Superkick. Ali 450 Splash…misses! Spanish Fly in the middle, weak cover and the referee is finally back up, and only a two count. Ali and Hotch start throwing hands, Pursuit Corner Attacks, Up and Over but Ali with a Release Belly to Belly into the Buckles! 450 Splash? NO! Hotch dodges, Ali eats buckle with his face. Go to Sleep from Hotch! Hotch wins! Hotch 2 Ali 1

Overall Score: 7.5/10

Fire N Flava back together, two British chicks lookin Righteous, Shotzi saves Allie so we got Bunnies on a Tank! Oh yeah and Hotch thankfully retains. Leon Slater coming out at the end is unnecessary, Leon doing a babyface thing doesn’t help Hotch, Hotch is 12 times better than Leon half asleep.

Avery wins his match with a little veteran savvy advice from Frankie. Cedric getting a legit singles match against Amazing Red should be great. Daria with her Apex girlies, we actually suddenly have a Knockouts tag if things go the way they seem.

Bunnies on a Tank

Fire N Flava

Apex

Righteous British Edition

Elegance Brand is still around too, but they look like they’re not gonna last much longer. So ya know, maybe this Knockouts Division is finally starting to recover. I see you TNA, I see you.
