Thursday Night iMPACT Results (4/30/26) – the Broken Episode

Mr. Elegance doesn’t mean Mr. Perfect

The Home Town Man did what he could, but with the Elegance Brand at ringside, his chances to defeat Mr. Elegance were close to zero. Ash by Elegance tried to interfere and distract The Home Town Man, who shoved his mask into her face. Mr. Elegance seized the opportunity, dropped him with Excusez-Moi!, and scored the pinfall.

Will Leon Slater break the record?

Leon Slater is on his quest to become the longest reigning TNA X-Division Champion of all time, and is getting closer every day. Slater called out Cedric Alexander and was willing to grant him another opportunity at the TNA X-Division title. On May 14 in Sacramento, CA, they are set to collide for the TNA X-Division Championship.

Alexander stated that Daria Rae made it official. Then, the System attacked Leon Slater from behind. Moose came to aid Leon Slater. He took out each member of The System one by one. Moose went to Spear Alisha Edwards, and Eddie Edwards pulled her out of the way just in time.

Unbreakable Elijah

Gia Miller was with Frankie Kazarian before the first-ever Walk with Elijah match. They will be bound together with a guitar strap and will end in the ring only when one competitor touches all four corners in succession. Kazarian was prepared just as he always was. He was confident that, tonight, they’ll be “Walking with the King”.

No-DQ meant toys were welcomed. Elijah threw him into a variety of objects, but Kazarian fired back with multiple blows. He shoved hand sanitizer into Elijah’s eyes, and closed a door with his arm trapped in the doorway on repeat. Elijah threw a ladder at Kazarian and hoisted him up onto a cart. We can add boxes, cases, and a guitar to the list.

Kazarian and Elijah used the strap to choke and hurt each other. When Kazarian started his four-count for the turnbuckles, he got to three, and Elijah flipped him, which caused the guitar strap to break. Elijah drove down Kazarian with The Highway Man’s Farewell. Elijah walked around the ring and tapped three of the turnbuckles. Kazarian tried to prevent him from tapping the fourth. Elijah grabbed the guitar and slammed it into Kazarian’s head. He tapped the fourth turnbuckle and secured the victory.
