TNA Genesis 2026 (01/17/26) – Review with Match Ratings

The path to TNA Genesis 2026 has been totally intertwined with TNA Wrestling’s broadcast deal with AMC TV. TNA Genesis 2026 comes two days after the Thursday Night iMPACT premiere on AMC. So, the card couldn’t be complete until last night. Sadly, some visa issues prevent some wrestlers from competing, as announced. That includes Dani Luna and TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater.

TNA Wrestling had something to prove after a pretty underwhelming premiere of Thursday Night iMPACT on AMC. The card for this PLE was not the best, due to the absence of some wrestlers and the addition of two last-minute matches. Even though I lived it live with you all night long, it’s time to take a look at the PLE after a few hours of sleep. Here’s a TNA Genesis 2026 Nygma-Review.

TNA International Title Four Way Match – NXT’s Stacks (w/Arianna Grace) vs. BDE vs. Eric Young vs. KJ Orso (3/5)

When some matches had nothing to do with the main card, the TNA International title defense was a main card bout. BDE and KJ Orso were the attractions of the match. We knew Sami Callihan trained BDE. We could see the great job he has done. KJ Orso is Fuego del Sol, a very talented high-flyer. The match was a last-minute. Stacks was the winner even before the fight happened. Then, it was a great one to watch.

Mila Moore & Tessa Blanchard vs. Indi Hartwell & Vicious Vicki Venuto (1/5)

I said on Thursday night that Indi Hartwell would get involved. The way the match was made came outta nowhere. The Elegance Brand was at ringside. Well, a mess was in the making. And the mess benefited Blanchard, Crawford, Moore, and Mister Stone. One point thanks to Indi Hartwell and Vicious Vicki’s fighting spirit.

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.
