Thursday Night iMPACT Results and Review (4/2/26) – Follow the White Rabbit

In the Bunkhouse

Jody Threat and Tessa Blanchard didn’t hold back. Trashcan, chairs, ropes, cables, cowbell, equipment case, belt; all the toys were appropriate for the match. Tessa Blanchard defeated Jody Threat, but the match was fabulous. You may like or not someone, but you can’t deny that when the performance is excellent. So Nygma will just clap her hands.

Then, Tessa Blanchard followed the white rabbit… Welcome to the Undead Realm, Tessa.

AJ Francis, who else?

AJ Francis defeated the Home Town Man. He then confirmed he is the one who attacked Nic Nemeth backstage at TNA Sacrifice. Ryan Nemeth came to confront AJ Francis for attacking his brother and put out a challenge for a one-on-one match against Nic Nemeth. Bernie Kosar will be in Nemeth’s corner.

Arianna Grace cheated and retained

Another bad bout. Stacks got in the face of Carlo Silva, then brought out the Cobra to give to Arianna Grace. Brookside used the distraction to drop her with a Tornado DDT. She went for the cover, and Stacks dragged Brookside out of the cover. Léi Ying Lee rushed to the defense, and Arianna Grace threw her into the steel steps.

Brookside was enraged and sent Grace into the steel steps. She planted Stacks with a DDT outside of the ring. Back inside the ring, Grace slammed the title belt into Brookside’s head behind the referee’s back. She drove Brookside face-first into her knees and secured the pinfall.

Stacks and Arianna Grace surrounded Léi Ying Lee, and TNA World Champion Mike Santana came to their aid. Stacks attacked Santana and got laid out with Spin the Block. Eddie Edwards then addressed TNA World Champion Mike Santana. Santana challenged him to enter the ring with him, but Edwards refused. He’s ready to face Santana at Rebellion instead.

About Steph Franchomme

Steph, for Stephanie, is not only eNYGMAtic, charismatic, but also “très chic.” Living in France, her birth country, she broke the language barrier to become a respected writer and interviewer on many wrestling promotions. She has developed a very special bond with TNA Wrestling over time to the point of becoming an Authority on the company. The French Nygma, as she loves to call herself, has been a wrestling writer and editor for nearly a decade for SteelChair Magazine/Wrestling SC, TWM and Distortion Media. 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. The writer/editor also runs @3WWrestling, her own platform.
