TNA iMPACT After The Bell (4/10/2025) - Everything Everywhere

TNA iMPACT After The Bell (4/10/2025) – Everything Everywhere

The April 10 edition of TNA iMPACT! was the one not to miss. As we left El Paso for Saint Joseph, we took the road leading us to Unbreakable, on April 17 live from Las Vegas, and Rebellion, live on April 27. If you carefully read my preview of TNA iMPACT!, you will soon know if Nygma’s crystal ball was right or wrong.

Last week, I asked you if I expected we would drive that road at full speed. Not to this point, at all. Fasten your seatbelt, as the TGV (a high-speed French train) is ready to go.

TNA iMPACT! Results (04/10/2025)

  • Ace Austin defeated Mustafa Ali w/ The Great Hands & Tasha Steelz via DQ
  • TNA X-Division Championship Match: Moose (c) defeated Cody Deaner
  • The System (JDC & Brian Myers) defeated The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Trey Miguel)
  • TNA International Championship Tournament – First Round Match – A.J. Francis w/ KC Navarro defeated Sami Callihan & Mance Warner
  • Leon Slater defeated Ryan Nemeth
  • Eddie Edwards w/ Alisha Edwards defeated Steve Maclin

Destination: “Rebellion”

The Rebellion’s main-event protagonists made their presence felt. NXT’s Ethan Page said he wanted to win, and so did Frankie Kazarian. Then, Joe Hendry announced that, despite a torn rotator cuff and a medical team advising him not to defend, he would compete at Rebellion and beat them both.

If Hendry is injured and can compete, and even retain, I will NEVER believe in Joe Hendry (not that I have ever wanted to).

The Mike Santana/Mustafa Ali war had to take epic proportions. Because Ali had the bad habit of fleeing, Santana took the driver’s seat in Ali’s car.

Steelz, Ali, and Hotch were able to jump out of the car, so Santana drove John Skyler on a joyride. Then, somewhere, he took a shovel, let him think he could bury him, and played more mind games with Skyler the same way Ali did with him.

The System did a perfect 3-0, winning all their matches. Moose retained the X-Division title against Deaner. Will he do the same at Rebellion in the Ultimate-X Match?

The Rascalz, with baseball bats in hand, prevented The System from doing more damage to Deaner. But, against Myers and JDC, they were robbed of an important win that would have brought them closer to the tag team titles.

Steve Maclin may have told Eric Young to stay out of his business before his match against Eddie Edwards, but Young and The Northern Armory were there. They watched Edwards and The System steal the win to Maclin.

Young seems not to understand the word “no,” so he made Steve Maclin one final offer to join The Northern Armory. That deserves a match at Rebellion match.

Destination: “Unbreakable”

AJ Francis won a first-round TNA International Championship match because, of course, Mance Warner and Sami Callihan couldn’t resist the pleasure of destroying each other. Callihan put a thumb in Warner’s eye and unloaded chairs and other weapons.

Then, backstage, a Milan Miracle, Sami Callihan said my 3 favorite words in the TNA world: Barbed Wire Massacre. There will be blood, and The Nygma is in heaven.

Leon Slater defeated Ryan Nemeth. Nemeth took a chair after the match, and The Hardyz rushed to the ring. In my Nygma’s mind, the Unbreakable match should have been Slater and The Hardyz vs The Nemeths.

Here is the problem: The Nemeths have no friends, as it seems. So, Santana will team up with The Hardys and Ali with the Nemeth Bros. Having no friends in a locker room definitely lacks sense.

Because Frankie Kazarian couldn’t wait until Rebellion to put his hands on Joe Hendry, Hendry did the unthinkable. At Unbreakable, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry and Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich will team up against Frankie Kazarian and Tessa Blanchard in a Champions vs Challengers match.

Whether Hendry fell on his head or he is definitely not injured. Once again, no, I refuse to believe in Joe Hendry.

The Nygma’s Last Word(s)

I’m used to ending my piece with “The Nutcracking spirit that has been my signature for many years now makes me say to you, don’t fall in the apples too fast (French way to say not to faint), that’s just a Nygma point of view.” This time, I was the one who fell into them.

Honestly, this episode was pushing every possible limit, not because of the good action but because of the attention given to all the details related to the upcoming events. Next week, the TNA iMPACT! episode AND the Unbreakable event are going to be insane.
