Sports. Honestly. Since 2011

Allie made her return at the April 16, 2026, episode of Thursday Night iMPACT

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

Out of the Undead Realm

Tessa Blanchard, Mila Moore, and Victoria Crawford were seen ring-side after escaping the Undead Realm. Rosemary and Mara Sadé attacked them. They rolled Rosemary into the ring, and as they surrounded her, Allie made her resurrection known. She charged at Blanchard and took out all three of them.

Another Alexander statement

In a 4 vs. 2 situation, Leon Slater and Moose were in danger. Slater tagged Moose, who knocked The System off the ring. Moose dove over the ropes and leveled Bear Bronson. Brian Myers charged at Moose to Spear him, but connected onto Bear Bronson instead. Moose caught Cedric and tossed him into The System.

Eddie Edwards attacked Moose, and Slater flew over the top rope to flatten The System. In the end, Myers and Bronson charged at Slater, who took them out. Alexander went for a Lumbar Check, but Slater countered and rolled him up. Alexander rolled through, drove him down with another Lumbar Check, and secured the pinfall.

The Best of the Rest

  • Elijah joined Daria Rae and requested a rematch against Frankie Kazarian. She called him, and he was not interested.
  • Nic Nemeth joined KC Navarro backstage after his victory against AJ Francis. Ryan Nemeth interrupted, along with The System. Nemeth was ready any time, any place to go head-to-head with Bear Bronson.
  • Léi Ying Lee reflected on her wrestling journey and her tag-team journey with Xia Brookside. She not only lost her chance to win the title back, but she also lost her best friend. 
  • Xia Brookside refused to explain why she betrayed Lee.
  • The Hardys addressed The Righteous, and Matt Hardy challenged Dutch to face him in the ring next week.
