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

Trust The System

We heard from The System as JDC’s retirement from in-ring competition approaches at Genesis. Eddie Edwards said that he is honored to face JDC in his final match. JDC went to Santino Marella and got one last “System Dance” next Thursday: they will face TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater, TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys, and Cedric Alexander.

Frankie Kazarian, who else?

Bear Bronson had Kazarian reeling in the early going as he retreated to the outside. Kazarian used the ropes to his advantage, gaining control with a Slingshot Leg Drop. Kazarian dominated for several minutes until Bronson created an opening. Bronson built momentum with a running powerslam. Bronson dove through the ropes, then sentKazarian into the steel ring steps.

Kazarian strangled Bronson’s eyes and slammed him into the steps. Bronson made it back into the ring before the 10-count. Kazarian hit the Fade to Black to remain TNA World Champion. After the match, Mike Santana announced that their scheduled TNA World Title match has been moved from Genesis to January 15 on the premiere of Thursday Night iMPACT on AMC. Nygma says: Beginner’s luck once, not twice, that was highly predictable.

The Best of the Rest

She has interviewed hundreds of wrestlers from WWE, MLW, TNA, NXT, AEW, and many more promotions. The Nygma is now the new “Authority” on TNA Wrestling and NXT for Last Word on Pro Wrestling.
