Two bouts are missing: the TNA X-Division title defence, usually the best match of the night, and the expected encounter between L\u00e9i Ying Lee and Dani Luna. That benefits NXT, as Zaria becomes the #1 contender and Joe Hendry comes back to the iMPACT Zone.<\/p>\n<p>Only 3 TNA Championships are on the line, which is a bit low. TNA Wrestling will also have to make the fans forget about the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/01\/16\/debuts-changes-departures-more-on-thursday-night-impact-premiere-on-amc\/\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">underwhelming premiere<\/a><\/span> on AMC. To calm the social media riot, the show will have to be a 5-star one.

After numerous superkicks to the face, he still doesn&#8217;t get the message \u2014 she&#8217;s not interested. Now, Mara Sad\u00e8 will look to deliver another beatdown when she battles Ryan Nemeth at Genesis.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I asked for it, and TNA made it. After Ryan Nemeth NutCracking himself last night, the bout will be even better. Nygma says, I give it to Mara Sad\u00e8, of course. I just hope they won&#8217;t kiss at the end and become TNA&#8217;s new hot couple.

Francis tried to get Rich Swann to do his dirty work in an attempt to capture championship gold in TNA Wrestling. But enough was enough at Final Resolution when Swann refused to hit Leon Slater with the TNA X-Division Championship, and instead hit Francis with the belt to cost him his golden opportunity. No longer allies in FIR$T CLA$$, Francis would exact a measure of revenge when he delivered to Swann a thudding Down Payment through a table. Now, friends turned enemies will face off at Genesis in this personal clash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>TNA aired the segment in the middle of an episode. We knew there were some issues between the two, but the match was announced a bit abruptly. Nygma says, I&#8217;m not a fan of AJ Francis, so my heart says Rich Swann. Then, Francis is an awful cheater.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At Final Resolution, Mustafa Ali was humiliated by Elijah when the leader of Order 4 was tied to a horse and dragged out of the iMPACT Zone. Ali would retaliate by crashing Elijah&#8217;s return concert, delivering a brutal assault with the guitar. Now, two of TNA&#8217;s top stars are set to collide at Genesis as Elijah steps back into action against Mustafa Ali.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A story of horses and guitars will turn into a vicious comeback to reality for Elijah. Mustafa Ali is not alone, and that&#8217;s the game changer. Nygma says: Mustafa Ali always has something in his bag of tricks to make sure he wins.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_Iam_Elijah_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@_Iam_Elijah_<\/a> is chasing Order 4 all the way to <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TNAGenesis?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#TNAGenesis<\/a>!\ud83d\udc34<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheJasonHotch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TheJasonHotch<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheJohnSkyler?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TheJohnSkyler<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealTSteelz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@RealTSteelz<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MustafaAli_X?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MustafaAli_X<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>WATCH <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TNAiMPACT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#TNAiMPACT<\/a> on TNA+: <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EkIqqcvwIi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/EkIqqcvwIi<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/J8wU9Gxc2a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/J8wU9Gxc2a<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; TNA Wrestling (@ThisIsTNA) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThisIsTNA\/status\/2009441744698712430?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 9, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>The Last Dance<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>JDC has made the emotional announcement that he will be retiring from in-ring competition this January at Genesis.
