Thursday Night iMPACT Review (5/21/26) – Majestic Mayhem

Impressive Starboy

Chazz “Starboy” Hall couldn’t be blamed for having made a bad match. It was just a TNA International Championship match against Order 4’s leader, Mustafa Ali. So, John Skyler distracted him, and Ali seized the opportunity to slam down Starboy with a Cutter. Hall dove into Ali from the middle rope with a Moonsault and dropped him with a DDT. He continued his momentum, crushing Ali with Cosmic Swirl. Ali countered out of Sliced Bread with a Bell Clap. He caught Hall and rolled him up into a Bridge to secure the pinfall.

Evilish Xia

Jada Stone attacked immediately until Xia Brookside hit Stone’s left leg. Brookside continued her assault on her left leg. Stone climbed to the top rope and crashed down with a Split-Legged Moonsault. Stone tried to hoist Brookside onto her shoulders, but her left leg was too injured. After avoiding the Star Stunner, Brookside dropped Jada Stone with the Darkside to secure the pinfall.

Mike Santana prevails

Daria Rae had a mission for Steve Maclin: “Take out Mike Santana. Rip the heart right out of this company and put the TNA World Title back on somebody worthy of carrying it.” Before the match, Eric Young came and gave a focused Maclin a message: “Choices have consequences.” Mike Santana was ready and focused, too.

“These are the kinds of matches that make TNA iMPACT on AMC MUST-SEE every single week.” I couldn’t agree more because Maclin vs. Santana for the World Championship is PLE-worthy. This TNA Sacrifice rematch is just stunning. In the end, Santana went for Spin the Block, and Maclin collapsed in the ring. Santana checked on Maclin, he feigned injury, and seized the opportunity to drop Santana with a Superkick. Santana avoided K.I.A., leveled Maclin in the center of the ring, and slammed him down with Spin the Block to secure the pinfall.

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.
