TNA iMPACT! was live yesterday from Irvine, CA. The Fallout from TNA Wrestling Rebellion was meant to be full of promises. If you carefully read my preview of TNA iMPACT!, you will soon know if Nygma’s crystal ball was right or wrong.
Neither would have expected a show to be such a revolution. After a Rebellion, it made sense, but not to this point.
TNA iMPACT! Results (05/01/2025)
- Mike Santana defeated Isaiah Moore
- TNA X-Division Title Match: Moose (c) defeated Zachary Wentz
- Jody Threat (w/Dani Luna) defeated Maggie Lee
- Leon Slater defeated KC Navarro (w/AJ Francis)
- Six-Man Tag Team Match: Frankie Kazarian & TNA World Tag Team Champions The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth) defeated TNA World Champion Joe Hendry & The Hardys (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy)

The Road to Under Siege
TNA World Champion (and birthday boy) Joe Hendry kicked off the show and called out NXT’s Trick Williams. Williams said that he wasn’t in the iMPACT! Zone tonight because he was preparing for the Battle Royal this Tuesday on NXT. Trick sarcastically wished Hendry good luck in the 6-man tag team main event, because that’s the exact moment he chose to appear.
"Trick Willy is NOT in the billy!" @_trickwilliams @joehendry

And just like that, TNA World Tag Team Champions The Nemeths (Nic & Ryan) and Frankie Kazarian defeated The Hardys (Matt & Jeff) and TNA World Champion Joe Hendry because Williams attacked Hendry at ringside. He laid him out with the Trick Shot as the show went off the air. Coming out of nowhere, at Under Siege, Elijah and Hendry will team up against Kazarian and Williams. I need an explanation…
.@NicTNemeth, @ryrynemnem and @FrankieKazarian stand tall THANKS to @_trickwilliams!

Cody Deaner was about to say goodbye as his contract was expiring yesterday. Santino Marella gave him a chance to renew it by defeating Eddie Edwards at Under Siege. Here came Robert Stone, Deputy Director of Authory, and Victoria Crawford, who was given a Knockouts title chance right off the bat (read more here). Have I missed an episode?
Thank you, @CodyDeaner!

Pride…
After going to war in the Barbed Wire Massacre, Director of Authority Santino Marella told Sami Callihan and Mance Warner to shake hands. “We’re done for now,” said Sami. I ask myself what kind of match TNA Wrestling will have to create to end that war… A crocodile or piranha fish pool match?
Mike Santana wants the TNA World Championship, and he deserves it. This time, the war against Mustafa Ali is over. John Skyler said to Gia Miller that Ali hasn’t been the same since losing to Mike Santana at Rebellion. The image of a zombie of Ali, badly dressed and walking nowhere, was a hallucination.
.@Santana_Proud is coming for the TNA World Championship! @joehendry has been put ON NOTICE!

And Prejudice
Once again, TNA International Champion Steve Maclin was beaten down by The Northern Armory. Eric Young assaulted him with a steel chain, just like they did at Rebellion. Santino Marella informed Eric Young and Steve Maclin that they will get their hands on each other again next week. I thought I was the most stubborn person on this planet, but Eric Young is beating me (well, he is my 15-day twin…).
Once again, The Rascalz were robbed by The System. Moose was putting the X-Division title on the line against Zachary Wentz. Despite Trey Miguel being at ringside, Alisha Edwards managed to interfere. The match was pure magic, and Alisha wasted it again. I was talking about piranhas before, but a shark cage above the ring would be perfect for her.
The Best of The Rest
- Leon Slater defeated KC Navarro in a must-see match. AJ Francis was ejected by the referee, so everything was good. The youngest-ever main-eventer in TNA history
- Indi Hartwell announced that she was going to shake things up for the entire Knockouts Division
- Tessa Blanchard was thinking that Robert Stone was better-suited to run TNA than Santino Marella.
- Jody Threat may have defeated Maggie Lee, but the Elegance brand vowed to give Maggie Lee a makeover, following her loss.
- Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich promised to show Victoria Crawford at Under Siege that she can’t hang with an athlete of her caliber.
Welcome to TNA, @indi_hartwell!

The Nygma’s Last Word(s)
While watching the episode on a hot French Friday morning, The Nygma asked herself if TNA Plus was poking fun at her. I knew TNA had issues yesterday night to air the show live. I also asked myself if I hadn’t slept for 200 years. Why? Because this episode was a hurricane. Forget about Rebellion, TNA Wrestling took the road straight to Under Siege in a nanosecond. It was not the Fallout for Rebellion, it was the wiping of it. The Nygma says it may have been a bit too fast for her, but she really enjoyed it. Till next week, may the Nygma be with you.
