Thursday Night iMPACT Review (4/16/26) – Resurrection and Retribution

The Nygma’s View

KC Navarro gets his payback

When Nic Nemeth made his way to the commentary table, KC Navarro suddenly was “less alone.” AJ Francis used all his bad tricks to defeat his former First Class partner. In the end, Navarro climbed to the top turnbuckle and dove toward Francis. Francis dropped Navarro with a TFL and set Navarro up for a Down Payment. Navarro countered, rolling up AJ Francis and securing the pinfall. Nemeth, in fact, distracted Francis from the ringside.

The System never fooled anyone

The System, joined by Alisha Edwards, hit the iMPACT zone to address what’s next after Rebellion. Brian Myers and Bear Bronson celebrated being the new TNA World Tag Team Champions. Eddie Edwards blamed Moose for his loss. Alisha Edwards continued to show her true colors in her betrayal of Moose. Cedric Alexander swore Leon Slater cheated and was still owed a title shot.

Slater answered Alexander and swore he won fair and square. He is ready to be the longest-reigning TNA X-Division Champion of all time. Moose joined the iMPACT zone as well. He called out The System for making excuses. Slater challenged Alexander and Eddie Edwards to take on himself and Moose. Daria Rae announced that Slater and Moose will face off against all of The System later.

Jada Stone prevails, again

Before the match was underway, TNA International Champion Mustafa Ali announced the TNA International Championship open challenge. Then, Stone attacked Steelz as she entered the ring. Outside of the ring, Stone dropped Steelz, and Steelz sent her into the steel post. When The Great Hands sent Stone outside, the referee ejected Order 4. Stone Superkicks Steelz and took her out with the Spark Stunner to secure the pinfall.
