TNA iMPACT Results And Review (01/01/26) – New Year’s Resolutions

The Nygma’s View

Elegant by Design

Before the match, Ash by Elegance came to congratulate Léi Ying Lee for being a hard-working TNA Knockouts World Champion. She said she sees a lot of herself in Lee, to the point of being a big fan. The Personal Concierge, Heather, and Maggie rushed to stop her. Ash shut them off, saying they need to work on respect and class.

Reigning TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, The IInspiration, were watching the match backstage, probably looking at potential contenders. The Elegance Brand faced the Angel Warriors. Out of nowhere, Dani Luna pulled Léi Ying Lee off the apron and sent her into the steel ring post. The Elegance Brand delivered a double team dropkick to Brookside, securing the victory. Nygma says: We all know that Dani Luna wants another Knockouts title chance. Meanwhile, the IInspiration will have to wait to find contenders.

Mustafa Ali wins, Elijah prevails

Mustafa Ali, with the whole Order 4, took control with a rolling neckbreaker, followed by a standing Moonsault. The Home Town Man hit a bulldog to start building momentum, but The Great Hands allowed Ali to take back control. Ali put the Home Town Man away with the 450 Splash. After the match, Ali attempted to send a message to Elijah as Order 4 continued the assault on the Home Town Man. Elijah played mind games with the leader of Order 4. Nygma says: The Genesis match should be a First Guitar Match.

Milan Un-Miracled

TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella didn’t feel ready to talk about his daughter’s betrayal. He gave a paper to Gia Miller with words to be told. Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt later announced that Stacks will defend the TNA International Championship against Steve Maclin next Thursday.

The NXT Outlaws arrived. Arianna Grace explained that she lived in her father’s shadow for her entire life, which is why she betrayed Marella two weeks ago. Grace revealed that Marella did not inform her that she was no longer needed on TNA programming; she had to call travel to find out. Grace was now carving her own path alongside Stacks.
