00:00:02TNA Thursday Night Impact is live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for the first time in company
00:00:09history inside the Taylor County, and today we hear the fallout of our historic AMC premiere
00:00:15of the spectacular TNA Genesis event.
00:00:23We welcome you to one of our marquee pay-per-view events here inside the Curtis Caldwell Center.
00:00:30TNA Wrestling is proud to present Genesis, the reigning TNA and fourth rope tag team champions.
00:00:40The Hardys have dealt with literally everything in this crazy world of ours of professional
00:00:47wrestling, but now the GOATs have to handle the righteous.
00:00:55Swamp Tog Bomb!
00:00:58The Hardys end this cycle with the righteous.
00:01:02Frankie Kazarian first stepped foot in this company in 2003.
00:01:06He worked 23 years to become TNA world champion and went away after 63 days.
00:01:13What would you do to get it back?
00:01:15Mike Santana knows he's walking into battle tonight against Kazarian with Nick Nemeth, the
00:01:22Call Your Shop gauntlet winner, looming as the referee.
00:01:26The last Texas dead match to occur in this company saw Mike Santana get the victory.
00:01:34Oh, a pile driver through the steel!
00:01:43Spin the block with the bar of wire!
00:01:46And a nine-canary is down!
00:01:48Mike Santana wins Texas death!
00:01:52Oh, my God!
00:01:55Danger zone!
00:01:56Nick Nemeth wants to call his shot!
00:01:58He's calling for another referee!
00:02:02Spin the block!
00:02:04Nick Nemeth still holds a TNA world title shot anytime he wants to call for it!
00:02:12Mike Santana, however, proved tonight that he can climb the mountain and stay on top!
00:02:24John
00:02:25Nick Nemeth
00:02:31You gotta come tonight!
00:02:35I wasn't rung through the fight!
00:02:39I'm only trying to climb!
00:02:42I'm and I feel...
00:02:45I'm and I feel...
00:02:46I'm and I!
00:03:06Welcome everyone to GMA Thursday Night Live on AMC.
00:03:12And we are here in an AMC hotbed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
00:03:19How appropriate, all the breaking bad, and better call Saul.
00:03:23Welcome to Ringside. I'm Tom Hennepin. He's the Drama King, Matthew Raywell.
00:03:27And we have a very special guest here to kick off the impact.
00:03:30He is the president of TNA Wrestling, Carlos Silva.
00:03:34Carlos, what a premiere it was last week.
00:03:37A milestone moment in the history of this company.
00:03:39You must be very proud of the hard work that went into it.
00:03:42It was a hard year. Everyone put so much hard work in, Tom.
00:03:45And last week was spectacular.
00:03:48Everyone brought it. Great new platform in.
00:03:50Our partner here in the United States with AMC.
00:03:52We couldn't be more proud of everyone.
00:03:56Absolutely. Let's keep this train running and kick the things off here
00:04:00on Thursday Night Impact on AMC
00:04:03with these two who have unfinished business from Genesis.
00:04:19The following contest dates scheduled for one fall.
00:04:24Introducing first from Charlotte, North Carolina,
00:04:28weighing in at 220 pounds,
00:04:30Cedric Alexander!
00:04:36And we are kicking things off the right way
00:04:40with prime Cedric Alexander.
00:04:42It was announced earlier today on social media
00:04:45that this match would be kicking off the action here tonight.
00:04:49And we're getting a little bit of a run back
00:04:51to Genesis from this past weekend.
00:04:53We invite you to watch back Genesis anytime on demand
00:04:56on our streaming platform, TNA+.
00:04:59Cedric Alexander ready to collide with the face of the franchise.
00:05:03Modelabb!
00:05:04Fade up!
00:05:06Fade up!
00:05:07Fade up!
00:05:19Fade up!
00:05:23Fade up!
00:05:33Moose and his opponent, accompanied by Alicia Edwards, representing the system, Moose.
00:05:43This is going to be a big night for the system, but more on that in a moment.
00:05:48This past weekend in Dallas, Texas, live from the Curtis Colwell Center at Genesis,
00:05:53it was Moose versus Cedric Alexander versus Joe Hendry in a triple threat matchup.
00:05:59Moose and Cedric Alexander were initially scheduled to challenge Leon Slater for the X Division Championship.
00:06:06However, due to visa issues, Slater was not able to make it to Dallas.
00:06:10So we have this incredible triple threat match, but in the course of that bout, Moose sustained a brutal back
00:06:17injury.
00:06:18I mean, for much of the match, we thought Moose was going to be taken out, unable to continue.
00:06:23Our ringside physician and even TNA president Carlos Silva were out checking on Moose,
00:06:29but somehow, someway, the face of the franchise rose above and got back, not only onto his feet, but into
00:06:37the matchup.
00:06:38Very curious to see how Moose navigates this matchup against Cedric Alexander,
00:06:43a decorated former champion in WWE who uses that patented lumbar check to annihilate the lower back of his opponents.
00:06:51But Moose has taken his social media to address the injury he sustained at Genesis.
00:06:57He said, quote, from the bottom of my heart, I want to sincerely thank everyone for all their concern and
00:07:01get well soon wishes.
00:07:02My back is super stiff still at the moment, but I should be okay for TNA live on AMC in
00:07:09Albuquerque.
00:07:10He said that just two days ago.
00:07:13Well, now we're going to see how much recovery has truly happened between Genesis and now, and that's not a
00:07:20good start.
00:07:22Alexander able to evade out of the corner.
00:07:28Alexander who earned a number one contender's opportunity at the X Division Championship again.
00:07:34That was supposed to take place at Genesis.
00:07:38Meanwhile, Moose, one of the stars of the group known as The System, had a contractual rematch for an X
00:07:44Division title shot,
00:07:45stemming from one of our biggest events of the year, Slammiversary.
00:07:48That went down this past summer, the home of the New York Islanders, the UBS Arena in New York.
00:07:54And as we understand it, both Cedric Alexander and Moose, at some point in the future,
00:08:00will get their opportunity at the X Division title.
00:08:04And we want to send a shout-out to Leon Slater, who competed on WWE SmackDown last week in London,
00:08:10his home country, unable to be here due to visa issues.
00:08:13And all of us here in the United States are dealing with this wicked snowstorm,
00:08:17so a lot of travel issues for plenty.
00:08:19We're all hoping Tom Hannavin won't make it home and will have to sit in a Motel 6 for three
00:08:24days.
00:08:24Motel 6!
00:08:25But right now, Moose finding a way to persevere yet again!
00:08:31Both men have to the count of ten to get back inside the ring,
00:08:34or else be counted out by our referee, Daniel Spencer.
00:08:38Alexander picking up the pace.
00:08:40Oh!
00:08:40Able to track down Moose on the outside.
00:08:45Moose now is on the back foot early in this matchup.
00:08:51Alexander, a little bit hobbled, has got Moose down.
00:08:54Here is some of the action that's on tap this evening.
00:08:56Our main event matchup, one half of the tag team champions, the living legend,
00:09:00Jeff Hardy, goes up against Mustafa Ali, the leader of Order 4.
00:09:05Plus, it's the return of Feaster Fire for the first time in over two years.
00:09:09Three stars will capture title shots, one star will receive a pink slip.
00:09:14Meanwhile, in the knockouts division, our women's division,
00:09:17Indy Hartwell will go one-on-one with one half of the knockouts.
00:09:21We'll tag team champions, M by elegance.
00:09:24Also, speaking of knockouts, we'll hear from Elena Black,
00:09:27the newest signing by Daria Ray, the suit overseeing operations here at TNA Wrestling.
00:09:33We'll hear from Black later on tonight.
00:09:34And in regards to Moose and the system, JDC will reveal the newest member of the system
00:09:41tonight here on Impact.
00:09:43And also, we'll hear from the TNA World Champion, Mike Santana,
00:09:48who captured the title last week on the premiere of TNA Thursday Night Impact Live on AMC,
00:09:54successfully retained this past Saturday at Genesis.
00:09:57And right here out on the floor, Cedric Alexander with a devastating suplex to Moose.
00:10:04Again, we've talked about that injured back from Genesis.
00:10:09Take another look at this.
00:10:10Moose was setting up for a suplex of his own.
00:10:12Alexander had his number and delivers the move on the outside.
00:10:16Moose, even in a worse way than he was before.
00:10:20And you've seen how Moose has been favoring his lower back throughout this matchup.
00:10:24He put it all on the line at Genesis against Alexander and Hendry.
00:10:28But Moose has got to think about his future.
00:10:31The frog splash there by Alexander.
00:10:34There's the cover.
00:10:35Tuck in the arm.
00:10:36Moose is still alive.
00:10:38You know what it's like inside the ring, Ray Wall.
00:10:40You're a former NXT Tag Team Champion.
00:10:42How does Moose navigate this knowing the pain that he's dealing with?
00:10:46I mean, it's a nearly impossible task.
00:10:49The things that happen with the back of small of the back of spine.
00:10:52You ever done that where you bend over to pick something up and you get stuck down there?
00:10:56Folks back at home will imagine that turns about 100 and then try wrestling on it.
00:11:01That's the kind of thing Moose is going through right now.
00:11:04Happens to me getting off the couch for crying out loud.
00:11:06That doesn't shock me.
00:11:07The cover Moose is still in it.
00:11:09But we often talk about how wrestlers who are caught in a pinfall, they kick out.
00:11:13You literally have to use your midsection, your core to physically kick your legs free.
00:11:18And Alexander is making that more and more difficult for Moose.
00:11:21I'm Cedric Alexander.
00:11:23That's a great example.
00:11:24I'm going to make Moose continue to kick out every time I can.
00:11:27Cover him two, three times.
00:11:28See what happens.
00:11:31Come on, Moose.
00:11:32Oh!
00:11:33One at about 251 pounds.
00:11:366% body fat right now.
00:11:38He's arguably in the best shape of his life.
00:11:40Former NFL offensive lineman who protected the likes of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Michael Vick.
00:11:47Here's the cover.
00:11:48Alexander trying to put away Moose.
00:11:50But look at the face of the franchise.
00:11:51I mean, this is the power of practice.
00:11:55This is the power of just getting up and getting it done every single day.
00:12:00The adrenaline is real.
00:12:02The eyes of Cedric Alexander.
00:12:05Even he can't believe it.
00:12:07After everything Moose went through on Saturday and now showing up all the punishment Cedric Alexander has given him yet
00:12:14again.
00:12:14But Moose keeps coming.
00:12:20This is Moose's 10th consecutive year as a part of TNA Wrestling.
00:12:25He is a staple of this company.
00:12:30There's a reason we call him the face of the franchise.
00:12:34It sticks.
00:12:35It's real.
00:12:36Oh!
00:12:37Connected with the Yoranagi.
00:12:38There's the senton.
00:12:40But you see even there.
00:12:41Look at this, though.
00:12:43Fighting through the pain.
00:12:45And sometimes just operating off of instinct.
00:12:48We've seen this with Moose for years.
00:12:50But he's obviously pushing through the pain.
00:12:54At some point, you've got to be wondering.
00:12:57Uh-oh!
00:12:57At what cost?
00:12:58Oh!
00:12:59How about the cost to Alexander?
00:13:01Moose calls that.
00:13:02Go to hell.
00:13:03But Alexander got his left shoulder off of the mat.
00:13:08And if you're Moose, you want this thing to end as soon as possible.
00:13:13I'm sure Moose thought he had it done here.
00:13:16Off the top, the go-to-hell planting Cedric Alexander, but not enough to put him away.
00:13:25What a way to kick off the action here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
00:13:29So much history for AMC in this city.
00:13:33And now we can bring total nonstop action to Albuquerque.
00:13:38Oh!
00:13:39Shoulder first into the middle turnbuckle.
00:13:41There goes Moose.
00:13:42Let's think about that spear that he used to win three world championships here in TNA.
00:13:49Hard-hitting Moose.
00:13:51Can Jimmy...
00:13:51Oh!
00:13:52Got it!
00:13:53The Chinoco driver there by Alexander.
00:13:56Is it enough?
00:13:57Moose is still alive.
00:13:58I was about to say continuing to persevere, but Alexander had another way to cut him off
00:14:04with the pass, but Moose continuing to kick out.
00:14:09I'm going to ask you, who do you think JBC is going to pick as the newest member of the
00:14:13system later on tonight?
00:14:14I have no idea.
00:14:16I mean, I love Dango, but I mean, let's face it, he lives his life by the motto, let's get
00:14:22weird.
00:14:22So it could be anybody or anything for that matter.
00:14:25Hell of a retirement match for Danny Dango Curtis this past weekend at Genesis up against
00:14:31his system brother, Eddie Edwards, best friends of over 20 years.
00:14:37very apropos finish for one of the best to lace it up.
00:14:41No doubt about it.
00:14:42Speaking of which, these two now really going ham here in the center of the ring deep into
00:14:48the last inning of this matchup.
00:14:51If we know anything about a reigning X Division champion, Leon Slater, he's chomping at the
00:14:57bit to get in the ring with both these men who have a stake at an X Division title shot.
00:15:06He's already had the up-close and personal one-on-ones last year during 2025.
00:15:13He's going to have to face him again.
00:15:15We know that at some point in the future.
00:15:17We can't wait to have the youngest in charge, Leon Slater, back inside a TNA ring.
00:15:22And now Alexander on the move.
00:15:24And a pump kick there by Moose.
00:15:26Look out, Moose is on the move and a Spanish fly center of the ring.
00:15:30My God, is that going to be enough?
00:15:32But Moose will not go down quietly.
00:15:39And now Alexander trying to push the pace from the second rope.
00:15:44And Moose using his thick skull to his advantage.
00:15:48Right upside the jaw of Cedric Alexander.
00:15:54Good Lord.
00:15:55Take another look at this, though.
00:15:57The Spanish fly off the rebound, off the run there.
00:16:03And Moose looking for a way to really turn this one around and put Cedric away.
00:16:09Moose is thinking about a spear.
00:16:10Cedric Alexander went for the sunset flip, trying to win this thing.
00:16:13Was it time for the Uranagi?
00:16:15Alexander said no.
00:16:17Single leg takedown.
00:16:19What a jackknife cover there.
00:16:21Go for a powerbomb.
00:16:24And then they roll through.
00:16:25Counter for counter.
00:16:26Alexander the cover.
00:16:27Alexander beat Moose.
00:16:30Here is your winner, Cedric Alexander.
00:16:38What a contest.
00:16:40What a way to kick things off here on Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
00:16:44A big smile on the face of Cedric Alexander.
00:16:49We've got a little preview of what Moose is all about this past weekend at Genesis.
00:16:54Alicia Edwards of the system and Moose obviously disappointed with this outcome.
00:17:00Well, still to come tonight here on TNA Thursday Night Impact, the living legend, Jeff Hardy tangles with the uber
00:17:08talented and crafty Mustafa Ali.
00:17:11That is our main event matchup.
00:17:12But coming up next, we'll hear from the brand new TNA World Champion, Mike Santana.
00:17:19Santana is next, live on AMC.
00:17:28And we are back here on TNA Thursday Night Impact, live on AMC with the brand new TNA World Champion.
00:17:37Santana is next, live on AMC.
00:18:17And the realist has a new lease on life here in TNA Wrestling after recapturing the TNA World title last
00:18:27week on the premiere episode of Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
00:18:32There was a stage later, however, in Dallas, Texas, Saturday, at Genesis, Mike Santana, surviving, grueling, Texas, death match.
00:18:43He successfully defended the title against the former champion, Frankie Kazarian.
00:18:47But he also was able to prevent Nick Nemeth, the special guest referee at Genesis, from calling his shot and
00:18:56giving a TNA World title shot on a formidable fight by Santana.
00:19:00Santana proved at Genesis that he can climb to the top of the mountain, and he's ready to kick everybody
00:19:07else off the top.
00:19:08Not only climb to the top, but we should say climb back to the top.
00:19:18After the heartbreak of the calling your shot of Frankie Kazarian months ago, Santana continuing to prove why he is
00:19:28a world champion.
00:19:30TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!
00:19:39And yell Albuquerque, what's God!
00:19:50Now let me keep it a buck with all of you, but before I do, I want to share a
00:19:55little something that means the absolute world to me.
00:19:58Something that my father left for me before he passed away. Take a listen.
00:20:03I really do hope you get that moment in the ring, but like I said, just remember those three things.
00:20:10You earned your way there. You deserve to be there. And more importantly, you belong there.
00:20:42I love you guys, man.
00:20:45Yo, check it. When I got back to TNA, after rebuilding myself from the ashes of injury, addiction, and the
00:20:56clutches of depression and anxiety,
00:20:58I stepped foot at Rebellion almost two years ago.
00:21:04And post-match, I went to the first camera that I could find, and I made a statement.
00:21:12Not just to TNA, but to the world.
00:21:18I said that after everything that I went through to get back to what I love, I wasn't coming back
00:21:24to be another spoke in the wheel.
00:21:27I was coming for the top spot, baby.
00:21:32And every single day after, I made sure that I put action behind those words, whether it was at home,
00:21:41at the gym, or every time I stepped foot in a ring,
00:21:45I made sure that I gave every single thing that I had, because I deserve it, this sport deserves it,
00:21:53and you all deserve it.
00:22:01But listen, everything isn't always perfect, right?
00:22:07But every time that I fell, I made sure that I picked myself right back up.
00:22:13Whether it was losing in front of my family and my city at Slammiversary, I got up, and I kept
00:22:21fighting.
00:22:24Or when I led the charge, and I brought the fight to NXT, and brought back what rightfully belongs to
00:22:32us at Bound for Glory.
00:22:35Only to lose it 30 days later.
00:22:42I got up, I laced my boots tight, and I kept fighting.
00:22:51And that all led me to last week, the premiere episode of Thursday Night Impact, live on AMC.
00:23:04I stood across from a man that I've respected and admired my entire career.
00:23:10The man who built this place brick by brick, the phenomenal A.J. Stiles.
00:23:24And to hear this man tell me, face-to-face, that I now hold the keys, and I'm the man
00:23:31that's going to carry TNA on his back, meant the absolute world.
00:23:35And listen, Frankie and I, we brought the hardest fight to each other ever.
00:23:41For two nights, and after I walked out of Texas' death match at Genesis, I got to give respect where
00:23:50it's due to an absolute legend like Frankie Kazarian.
00:23:56And look, nobody understands what being in this position means more than me.
00:24:03I know there's a biggest target on my back more than ever.
00:24:06Whether it's Nick Nemeth with his Call Your Shot trophy.
00:24:11Or it's whoever's going to win the world title after Feaster Fired.
00:24:17Listen, my back is against the wall, but I like it that way.
00:24:23Because it's where I feel the most at home, it's where I've lived my entire life.
00:24:28They said I would never be the guy, but I stand here before all of you as the guy.
00:24:40And why is that?
00:24:44Because I've earned my way here, I deserve to be here, but most of all, I belong here.
00:25:04Never give him, always on.
00:25:08Mike Santana is your TNA world champion.
00:25:12Right now, let's check in with Gia Miller.
00:25:17Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing by with Order 4.
00:25:21And in tonight's main event, Mr. Ali, you'll go one-on-one with one half of the TNA world tag
00:25:26team champions,
00:25:27the charismatic enigma, Jeff Hardy.
00:25:31How are you feeling ahead of such a huge main event?
00:25:34Uh, Ms. Miller, I need you to do me a huge favor right now.
00:25:38I need you to shut up.
00:25:43You don't think the whole world knows?
00:25:46Tonight in the main event, it is Jeff Hardy versus Mustafa Ali.
00:25:50But allow me to tell you something that you don't know.
00:25:53And the citizens of TNA, they clearly, they don't know.
00:25:57See, Matthew and Jeffrey, they like to call themselves,
00:26:03That's a lie.
00:26:07Matthew and Jeffrey are sheep.
00:26:11Fear not.
00:26:13Fear not.
00:26:14Because I will be your shepherd.
00:26:17And I'll prove that tonight.
00:26:18Just like I proved it at TNA Genesis against Elijah.
00:26:24Thank you for the time, Ms. Miller.
00:26:27God bless and remember
00:26:28that in Ali,
00:26:31we trust.
00:26:40Confident words from Mustafa Ali.
00:26:43That match is our main event of the evening.
00:26:45Jeff Hardy, one-on-one with Mustafa Ali.
00:26:48Also for the first time in two years, it's feast or fire.
00:26:51Three TNA stars will capture title shots.
00:26:54One will be fired.
00:26:56But coming up next, one half of the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions,
00:27:00and by elegance, goes one-on-one with Indy Hartwell.
00:27:04That match is next live on AMC.
00:27:12We are back here live inside the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
00:27:17moments away from Knockouts Action.
00:27:19But we have a special guest in the house,
00:27:21Chris Van Vliet, the host of Insight,
00:27:23available wherever you get your podcasts.
00:27:25He's had the former TNA World Champion,
00:27:27Frankie Kazarian on,
00:27:29AJ Styles,
00:27:30and either the TNA Hall of Famer, Raven.
00:27:32We appreciate Chris Van Vliet being here tonight.
00:27:34Right now, I want to cycle back to some other Knockouts Action.
00:27:37This was this past Tuesday on NXT.
00:27:40The personal concierge of the elegance brand was watching
00:27:43because this was a triple threat match
00:27:46to determine the future number one contender
00:27:48to the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions,
00:27:51the elegance brand.
00:27:52That's right.
00:27:53It was a battle of Zeruka, Ren QCC,
00:27:56and fatal influence.
00:27:57In these triple threat matches,
00:27:59you got to keep your head on a swivel.
00:28:01The action was intense.
00:28:03It was on the edge of everybody's seat
00:28:06in the tag team division
00:28:07with a knockout tag team title shot on the line.
00:28:10Shows you just how much
00:28:11these stars from NXT
00:28:13want to get their hands on TNA gold.
00:28:15This was down the stretch.
00:28:16Fatal Influence thought they had this thing wrapped up.
00:28:19But then Sol Ruka hit the soul snatcher
00:28:22and that opened the door for Zarya,
00:28:24who this past week in the Genesis Challenge
00:28:26laying lead for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
00:28:30The zone of destruction hit
00:28:32and Zarya and Sol Ruka
00:28:35were able to secure a future
00:28:37TNA Knockouts World Tag Team title shot
00:28:40against the elegance brand.
00:28:43Ladies and gentlemen,
00:28:49I am the personal poussières
00:28:52and since being in New Mexico,
00:28:57let me tell you what I'm excited about
00:28:58and that's leaving New Mexico.
00:29:04This town sucks.
00:29:07You're all a bunch of thieves
00:29:10and the illiterates.
00:29:12Shut your mouths when I'm talking to you.
00:29:17Get ready for a culture shock.
00:29:19You're above the witness,
00:29:20beauty, class, and excellence.
00:29:22This is the elegance brand.
00:29:31The most in-demand, high-profile,
00:29:35high-quality, and growing more powerful
00:29:38by-the-week brand in all of sports,
00:29:42entertainment, sports entertainment,
00:29:44pro wrestling, movies, Hollywood,
00:29:47Northside, Southside, Westside, East Coast.
00:29:50Oh, my goodness.
00:29:52Everywhere in between,
00:29:54the elegance brand shines through.
00:29:56Heather and M are now two-time TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions
00:30:01after defeating the inspiration last week
00:30:04on the premiere of TNA Thursday Night Impact Live on AMC
00:30:08where they also debuted Mr. Elegance
00:30:11who they took from obscurity
00:30:14to Greek God's physique in the span of seven days.
00:30:19I don't know how they did that.
00:30:20I imagine that was the master plan of Ash by Elegance
00:30:24who unfortunately had to medically step away
00:30:27from in-ring competition a number of months ago.
00:30:29But Ash by Elegance, a former Knockouts World Champion,
00:30:33leads the elegance brand.
00:30:46And her opponent from Melbourne, Australia,
00:30:53Izzy Hartwell!
00:30:56Oh, Indy Hartwell making her way out here
00:30:59has had a couple of run-ins with the elegance brand
00:31:01over the last couple of weeks,
00:31:03including recently at Genesis.
00:31:05The elegance brand was getting a front-row seat
00:31:08to the action as Indy Hartwell competed.
00:31:11And, um, you might remember,
00:31:13Indy Hartwell violently stepped on the toe
00:31:15of one M by Elegance.
00:31:17Oh, my God.
00:31:17It was an accident.
00:31:18Do you remember that?
00:31:18The elegance brand was seated at ringside,
00:31:21which they shouldn't have been doing that.
00:31:23In the midst of Indy Hartwell and Vicious Vicky
00:31:26up against Tessa Blanchard and Meera Moore,
00:31:29yes, at ringside, Indy Hartwell did step on M's toe,
00:31:33but M and the rest of the brand
00:31:35shouldn't have been at ringside.
00:31:37There was a match going on.
00:31:38Oh, what?
00:31:39So the best Knockouts in the entire division,
00:31:41the tag team champions included,
00:31:43can't get a close-up view of some of their competition.
00:31:46Just saying it's a hazardous area.
00:31:49They probably shouldn't have been at ringside.
00:31:51Referee!
00:31:52M by Elegance is in the ropes.
00:31:54Do your job!
00:31:55Well, referee Peyton Rinsipali was doing her job
00:31:58because Heather was trying to assist M.
00:32:01Oh, and meanwhile,
00:32:02Indy Hartwell able to take over here against M.
00:32:08Oh, now she's going to break Indy,
00:32:10so, yes, payback is a you-know-what.
00:32:13Look at this.
00:32:13Stashed by Elegance, leading the brand by example,
00:32:17telling M to put the foot down.
00:32:20And now again, we get a repeat
00:32:21of the violent actions of Indy Hartwell.
00:32:24What do you mean violent?
00:32:25Come on.
00:32:25She stepped on her toe!
00:32:26You never have someone accidentally step on your toe.
00:32:29Never.
00:32:30It's always been great, Alice.
00:32:33Now, Indy Hartwell,
00:32:35former champion,
00:32:36twice over in WWE.
00:32:38He's had a hell of a time here in TNA.
00:32:40Oh, the pass here was undefeated for most of 2025.
00:32:44Here's the cover.
00:32:45Put to the leg and a kick out.
00:32:48Challenge for the TNA Knockouts World Championship
00:32:50back in October at our biggest event of the year,
00:32:55bound for glory.
00:32:56And has made no bones about wanting to get back to that mountaintop once again.
00:33:02Oh!
00:33:03But as mentioned before,
00:33:05the Elegance brand never afraid to take a chance to gloat seemingly right in the face of Indy Hartwell.
00:33:12I mean, to be fair,
00:33:13they're showing her what champions really look like.
00:33:16Our reigning TNA Knockouts World Champion,
00:33:18Lei Ying Li,
00:33:20was able to withstand the test of Zarya this past weekend at Genesis,
00:33:24which you can watch back anytime on demand on our streaming platform,
00:33:27TNA Plus.
00:33:29Oh!
00:33:31Boom!
00:33:31Kick right to the side of the head.
00:33:33Don't forget,
00:33:34Doomsday Danny Luna,
00:33:35the British powerhouse,
00:33:37who's unable to be here due to Visa issues,
00:33:39who still owns a future of Knockouts World title shot,
00:33:42but Hartwell wants to get back in the title contention herself.
00:33:46And there's the toe.
00:33:48There's the payback.
00:33:49Oh!
00:33:49Oh, my God!
00:33:50Now he's the Barcelona Concierge's shoe.
00:33:52What the shoe?
00:33:54Who uses a shoe?
00:33:56And Ash by Elegance once again,
00:33:58to your point earlier, Tom,
00:34:01trying to have a little change of tactic here for the Elegance brand.
00:34:05Ash is trying to play Peacekeeper.
00:34:07Back inside the ring.
00:34:08Now M.
00:34:10Oh!
00:34:11Double knees!
00:34:11And the Hartwell is down.
00:34:13Here's the cover.
00:34:14Shoulders down.
00:34:15Oh, and a kick out.
00:34:16This Knockouts match continues live on AMC.
00:34:22Watching TNA Thursday Night Impact live on AMC.
00:34:25Impact has had more episodes in franchises,
00:34:28such as Monday Night Football,
00:34:30Saturday Night Live,
00:34:31The Simpsons,
00:34:32Survival,
00:34:33and more.
00:34:34And right now,
00:34:34who's watching Knockouts action?
00:34:36Our women's division is on fire right now.
00:34:39And Indy Hartwell,
00:34:42I gotta give her credit.
00:34:43What a counter to M by Elegance off the ropes there into the Spinebuster.
00:34:47And this is a window of opportunity that Indy Hartwell very much needs.
00:34:52Take a look back here.
00:34:53Indy Hartwell,
00:34:54boom!
00:34:55The Spinebuster delivered a one-half of the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions.
00:35:00M by Elegance,
00:35:01accompanied by the rest of the Elegance brand.
00:35:04And throughout this matchup,
00:35:05we've seen how Indy Hartwell and M have been renewing their hostilities from this past weekend at Genesis,
00:35:10where Indy Hartwell accidentally stepped on M's tongue during a matchup that M wasn't involved in.
00:35:17There's an asterisk on that one.
00:35:18It's yet to be determined.
00:35:19Either way,
00:35:21the tensions are high.
00:35:23Oh!
00:35:23He saw the Elegance brand attacking the foot of Indy Hartwell.
00:35:27Bulldog, bulldog out of the corner.
00:35:29M able to stay in this thing.
00:35:32Indy Hartwell,
00:35:33multi-top champion in WWE,
00:35:35trying to get herself back into title contention.

00:35:48Hartwell was going for Hertz Donut,
00:35:51was trying to put away this matchup,
00:35:52and now M able to counter,
00:35:54back up onto the shoulders.
00:35:57Going again for Hertz Donut,
00:35:59trying to end this.
00:36:00Hold on, M.
00:36:01Cover.
00:36:02Shoulders down.
00:36:03Hartwell.
00:36:04Hartwell might have it here.
00:36:05Hartwell.
00:36:06Big one after the Elegance brand.
00:36:09Here is your winner, Indy Hartwell.
00:36:13Oh, and there's Heather by Elegance.
00:36:17Not a moment to celebrate.
00:36:19You've got to keep your head on a swivel
00:36:22when the Elegance brand is out here.
00:36:24They will not be outshined.
00:36:27Hartwell just pinned one hand
00:36:28for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions.
00:36:31Oh, wait a minute.
00:36:32There's Ash by Elegance.
00:36:34What is this?
00:36:35He's not the man!
00:36:37He's not!
00:36:39He's not!
00:36:40He's not!
00:36:41He's not!
00:36:42He's not!
00:36:43He's not!
00:36:44He's not!
00:36:46He's not!
00:36:47He's not!
00:36:47He's not!
00:36:51He's not!
00:36:53Whoa!
00:37:11Ash medically had to step away
00:37:13from in-the-ring competition months ago.
00:37:15He's not!
00:37:18He's not!
00:37:18He's not!
00:37:18Wait a second!
00:37:22Oh, there is the Knockouts World Champion
00:37:24Le Ying Li
00:37:25and her tag team partner
00:37:26Sai Up Brookside,
00:37:28the team known as the Angel Warriors.
00:37:30The Elegance brand
00:37:31almost looked like
00:37:31they were about to jump on Ash!
00:37:34Oh, and the Hartwell can turn it through.
00:37:37What is happening?
00:37:38Oh, my God!
00:37:40Ash just blindsided
00:37:41Le Ying Li!
00:37:43What the hell?
00:37:44What the hell?
00:37:47What the hell?
00:37:48Where is this coming from?
00:37:50The Elegance brand
00:37:52celebrating here!
00:37:55Oh, now Ash!
00:37:57Oh!
00:37:57Ash just took out the Knockouts World Champion!
00:38:00I thought Ash wasn't medically clear to compete!
00:38:04Oh, she seems more than medically clear
00:38:07to lay a beatdown
00:38:09on the Knockouts World Champion!
00:38:11The fix was in!
00:38:15And the Queen seems like she is back on her throne
00:38:19with the Elegance brand!
00:38:24What a play by Ash and the entire Elegance brand!
00:38:30I can't wait to see what's next

00:43:12Three briefcases contain contracts for TNA title shots.
00:43:16One briefcase contains a pink slip, which means one wrestler will be fired.
00:43:21Now, wrestlers must lead the ring with a briefcase to touch the floor with both feet to claim it.
00:43:25The contents of the briefcases will be revealed next week on Thursday Night Impact on AMC.

00:43:56It's been a few weeks since we saw the former TNA World Champion and two-time TNA International Champion Steve
00:44:03Macklin here in TNA.
00:44:05He was recently assaulted by Snax Ariana Grace and the NXT Outlaws, and now he's ready to perhaps capture a
00:44:13title shot once again here in TNA.
00:44:33And the final competitors from Toledo, Ohio, weighing in at 175 pounds, Trey Miguel!
00:44:45Wait a second! Trey Miguel is back here! I wasn't sure we'd be seeing Trey Miguel in the Impact Zone
00:44:54anytime soon!
00:44:55This is a more than pleasant surprise to me!
00:44:59This is a surprise to you, it's a surprise to many. I am proud to announce that we here at
00:45:04TNA Wrestling are thrilled to welcome Trey Miguel back to the family.
00:45:10TNA Wrestling has officially re-signed Trey Miguel.
00:45:15And he comes into a high-risk, high-reward scenario here in Feast for Fire.
00:45:21Miguel, a two-time X-Division Champion, former TNA World Tag Team Champion, and now we get set for the
00:45:30ninth-ever Feast or Fire match established back in 2007.
00:45:34There are no count-outs, no disqualifications, and as I just explained moments ago, you have to scale these trusses,
00:45:41secure a briefcase, get all the way back down to the outside of the ring with possession of the briefcase,
00:45:46and only then can you say you are a winner.
00:45:49But we won't know until next week who the winners truly are.
00:45:53And a little bit of brotherly love between old Swanee and Trey Miguel, but that ends quick.
00:45:59Ain't no friendships in this matchup in the end. Every man for themselves.
00:46:04Swan knows what that's all about with AJ Francis. Those two tangled at Genesis.
00:46:10Francis is able to score the win in Dallas. You can watch it back any time on demand on TNA+.
00:46:16Oh, man, look at Trey. First man to start climbing for a briefcase here.
00:46:23There's Big AJ Francis. Francis and Swan, once we're a part of the team known as First Class. That is
00:46:30no more thanks to Francis' ego.
00:46:33Well, speaking of First Class, if you said we saw them open up the night at Genesis, now both Miguel
00:46:40and Swan working together to bring Francis' goal!
00:46:48It's all about preventing someone from getting to a briefcase.
00:46:51Oh! Miguel knows how the game is played!
00:46:54Everybody for themselves.
00:46:57To get one of those briefcases, you gotta hope for a World Exhibition or International Championship shot!
00:47:06There goes Jason Hodge of Order 4, who may believe is set to break out here in 2026.
00:47:12Meanwhile, there's Eric Young, no stranger to Feast of Fire.
00:47:16Not exactly to Feast of Fire, but you remember, once upon a time here in TNA, don't fire Eric!
00:47:22Oh!
00:47:24He might just have been taken out of the equation full stop right there!
00:47:29There's Eddie Edwards, who defeated his brother within the system, JDC, at Genesis.
00:47:35And there you see, speaking of champions, the TNA international champion, NXT's Stax, with its Beyoncé, Ariana Grace, and the
00:47:44suit, Daria Ray.
00:47:46And Ariana Grace is the daughter of Santina Moral.
00:47:48There on the left, our current director of authority, and there is a reigning TNA World Champion, Mike Santana, who
00:47:55said earlier on tonight,
00:47:56he's prepared to have his back against the wall.
00:47:58Whether it's Nick Nimick with the call-your-shot gauntlet opportunity, trying to call-and-shot for a TNA World
00:48:04title match,
00:48:04or, whomever secures the TNA World Championship briefcase here, and Feast of Fire!
00:48:11Look at Trey Miguel go!
00:48:13Bodies flying everywhere!
00:48:17Here at Feast of Fire, the win, look out!
00:48:21There is the hometown man, every town is his hometown.
00:48:25There goes Ryan Nimick, Nick Nimick's Nupo baby brother.
00:48:30And the hometown man, though, might be...
00:48:33Look, the briefcase is right there, you idiot!
00:48:39A splash to the outside, and the hometown man wipes out everybody,
00:48:43and I guess now he has an even clearer path to grab a briefcase.
00:48:48Or maybe, hopefully, please God willing, get fired!
00:48:53I don't want to hear that song again!
00:48:56And the hometown man, he's unhooked one of the briefcases,
00:49:00now he's got to get down to the floor with possession of the briefcase.
00:49:05To the outside, oh wait a minute, wait a minute, there's the...
00:49:08It's Eric Young, it's unmasked the hometown man!
00:49:11Let's not pretend we don't!
00:49:13Eric Young, I'll secure the briefcase!
00:49:19Eric Young, I'll secure the briefcase number one!
00:49:24We'll find out next week on TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC,
00:49:28just what a repeal and secure.
00:49:31What a strike by EY there, as now is Skyler.
00:49:39I don't want to be a friend of heights.
00:49:41I think you're right, now his tag team partner, Hotch, is going up,
00:49:44but it's a little different than we've seen in the past here at Feaster of Fire.
00:49:47There is not a briefcase for a TNA World Tag Team title shot.
00:49:50Oh, it truly is!
00:49:52Every man for themselves!
00:49:53That's true, but a win for Order 4 is a win for the whole unit!
00:49:57Oh!
00:49:58And there's Steve Macklin, who's put out plenty recently on social media.
00:50:02Hotch gets caught in the crosshairs!
00:50:05Macklin, no stranger to risking it all!
00:50:09He's a former world champion, a two-time TNA international champion.
00:50:13He could get one step closer to either of those titles,
00:50:16or an X Division title shot!
00:50:20Oh!
00:50:21Now he's got to touch the floor, and Macklin got it!
00:50:26Steve Macklin has captured briefcase number two!
00:50:31Is it feast or fired for Steve Macklin?
00:50:34Only time will tell.
00:50:37And all stepped to land up, preventing Annie Edwards from getting inside the ring
00:50:41and pursuing a briefcase.
00:50:44And everything breaking down on the floor here.
00:50:48There is her husband, the sadistic Mance Warner.
00:50:51These two are completely unhinged.
00:50:55Case in point, Macklin's got a steel chair.
00:50:57Granted, it is no disqualification.
00:50:58Attachments and things are fired.
00:51:00Tactically, anything goes.
00:51:03May as well make it work.
00:51:05Here it's there!
00:51:08Eddie Edwards and the rest of the system,
00:51:09they will be on hand as JDC announces his replacement within the system later on tonight.
00:51:16Meanwhile, moves to the system, suffered yet another loss
00:51:19to Cedric Alexander earlier on tonight to open up impact.
00:51:24Edwards preventing Warner.
00:51:27Oh!
00:51:29Right on the edge of that steel chair.
00:51:33Warner in a bad way here.
00:51:36Blue Thunder Bomb into the chairs,
00:51:38and now Swan trying to get past the 330-pounder,
00:51:43A.J. Francis.
00:51:44Maybe a little unfinished.
00:51:46Business!
00:51:47Oh my God!
00:51:48And a down payment chokeslam
00:51:50into the hardest part of the ring.
00:51:53It's acting like that why
00:51:55hashtag TNA Impact is now trending on social media.
00:52:00Thank you for joining us live on AMC
00:52:02and simulcast on AMC Plus
00:52:04as well as TNA Plus.
00:52:07I don't know if I can even call that a down payment.
00:52:11A.J. Francis paying cash for the whole damn thing there.
00:52:14Oh, now Trey McGill
00:52:16gets a piece of Francis.
00:52:18The way the cost of housing is in this country,
00:52:20it's absolutely brutal.
00:52:21No kidding.
00:52:23As Miguel now has an opportunity,
00:52:25a clear path.
00:52:26Oh!
00:52:27And there is Ryan Nembitt,
00:52:29who cheated to defeat Mara Shade
00:52:32back at Genesis this past weekend.
00:52:35No way.
00:52:35Ryan Nembitt now literally climbing
00:52:37over the body of Miguel.
00:52:39But wait!
00:52:39And now look at Miguel with the charmant!
00:52:44What a way
00:52:45to kick the door back open here in TNA!
00:52:50Miguel is unhaugged to briefcase,
00:52:53but can he get down to the floor with possession?
00:52:56Yes!
00:53:00Trey McGill has captured briefcase number four!
00:53:04One more briefcase remains.
00:53:07That's right.
00:53:08As Myers trying to kick off anybody
00:53:11who's coming his way
00:53:13looking to get the briefcase.
00:53:14Eddie Edwards now
00:53:15on the top rope as well.
00:53:17Edwards doing anything for his system, brother.
00:53:20Edwards and Myers,
00:53:21two-time TNA World Tag Team Champions.
00:53:23Once upon a time,
00:53:25Myers wipes out the field
00:53:27and it clears the pass for Eddie Edwards.
00:53:29And you saw Myers tell Eddie
00:53:31he pointed to the briefcase.
00:53:33He opened the way.
00:53:35Eddie Edwards is case number three.
00:53:38Oh, but there's big A.J. Francis.
00:53:40And he's got to get to the floor.
00:53:43Wait a minute.
00:53:45Oh!
00:53:46Now created by the veteran Edwards!
00:53:49Edwards has got it!
00:53:52And Eddie Edwards has captured briefcase number three!
00:54:00What a contest!
00:54:02What a cavalcade of action!
00:54:05But we now know
00:54:07the four folks
00:54:09who have an opportunity,
00:54:11a date with destiny.
00:54:14Who has a TNA World title shot?
00:54:16Who has a TNA Exhibition title shot?
00:54:19Who has a TNA International title shot?
00:54:22And who's going to be fired?
00:54:23We're going to find out next week!
00:54:25Hey, champ!
00:54:35How you doing, buddy?
00:54:37Don't touch me.
00:54:38Before you say anything,
00:54:40I want you to make sure
00:54:41that you think about
00:54:42what you're going to say.
00:54:44I'm letting you know right now.
00:54:46Hey, hey, hey.
00:54:46Relax, champ.
00:54:48I'm proud of you.
00:54:48I think you did a great thing.
00:54:51But just know,
00:54:51you saw those briefcases out there.
00:54:53A lot of title shots coming their way.
00:54:55You know that you've got to watch your back.
00:54:57You've got to target on it.
00:54:59And hey, listen.
00:55:01I saw you out there earlier.
00:55:03I know what you're about.
00:55:05And I respect it.
00:55:07But you're thinking with your heart
00:55:09and not your head.
00:55:11And sometimes emotional champs,
00:55:14they don't ask about you.
00:55:17Someone like myself
00:55:20calls their shot,
00:55:22places it on the table,
00:55:25wins that title from you.
00:55:27I mean, how are you ever going to face
00:55:29your baby girl, Ariana?
00:55:36Who wants your damn mouth?
00:55:39Who wants your damn mouth?
00:55:41You want to jump?
00:55:42Let's jump!
00:55:44Let's go!
00:55:48Absolutely crossed the line,
00:55:50but we're going to try and refocus here.
00:55:52You saw Jeff Hardy getting ready
00:55:53there in the background.
00:55:54He collides with Mustafa Ali of Border 4
00:55:57later on tonight.
00:55:58As well, one last time,
00:56:00we will hear from JDC
00:56:02and a new member of the system
00:56:04will be revealed.
00:56:06But coming out next,
00:56:07we'll hear from the newest knockout,
00:56:09Daria Ray signing,
00:56:10Elena Black.
00:56:12She's next on TNA Thursday Night Impact,
00:56:15live on AMC.
00:56:20Go!
00:56:20Go!
00:56:21Go!
00:56:21What are we doing now?
00:56:22What are we doing?
00:56:25I got this.
00:56:25I got this.
00:56:27Do you see what the hell just happened to me?
00:56:30What?
00:56:30Oh, of course you didn't see what the hell just happened here.
00:56:35You're back here playing video games.
00:56:37You got it.
00:56:38Go!
00:56:38Go away!
00:56:39What the hell is your mom's head?
00:56:41I was waiting.
00:56:42Listen,
00:56:42there's a reason you're all so soft.
00:56:44This entire generation,
00:56:45sit down.
00:56:46Sit down and listen to this.
00:56:48There's a reason you're all soft.
00:56:49There's a reason nobody knows
00:56:50what the hell they're doing anymore.
00:56:51We got marks in the locker room.
00:56:53Why aren't you watching the show?
00:56:55You don't need to get better.
00:56:56You don't have to.
00:56:58You're a joke.
00:56:59That's why.
00:57:00Sit down here and play the video games
00:57:02that you're good at
00:57:02because you're nothing but an experiment.
00:57:04Experiment?
00:57:05Yeah.
00:57:05Experiment.
00:57:06Yes.
00:57:06I take my dudes just like everybody else.
00:57:08Name one.
00:57:09Wrestling is for everybody.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:11I take my dudes.
00:57:12I earn my way here.
00:57:13Yeah.
00:57:13It's for everybody.
00:57:14What?
00:57:14What?
00:57:15What button are you going to do to hit that?
00:57:17Huh?
00:57:17This is real life.
00:57:18This ain't a joke.
00:57:19This isn't YouTube.
00:57:20Not TikTok.
00:57:21It's real life out there.
00:57:23I see why Mike Santana wants to kick their ass.
00:57:27Tell them to get live with you too.
00:57:29But you're on plugs.
00:57:32How about this?
00:57:34How about I prove it?
00:57:35Next week, Nick Nemeth versus BDE.
00:57:41You're serious.
00:57:42I'm dead ass.
00:57:46You know, from being as standard as I am,
00:57:48I have a lot of pull around here.
00:57:49So, I expect it to happen.
00:57:54Good luck, kid.
00:58:00Are you doing that?
00:58:01Nick Nemeth crossed the line with the TNA world champion,
00:58:05Mike Santana, before the break.
00:58:06But I don't know if he really understands what the YouTube sensation of BDE is truly capable of.
00:58:13Please welcome Elena Black.
00:58:18Right now, we get to hear from the newest knockout, Elena Black.
00:58:25For those of you who have been living under a rock,
00:58:29my name is Elena Black.
00:58:36And if you don't know much about me, it won't take you long to figure it out.
00:58:41Why?
00:58:42Because I am the only one that you need to be paying attention to in this knockouts division.
00:58:52Matter of fact, I am the only one to get one million views on TNA socials in just 24 hours.
00:59:07And I am the only one to constantly make headlines no matter what I do,
00:59:17no matter what I say, no matter where I go.
00:59:21I'm consistently the only one that matters.
00:59:26And after my match next week against whoever is stupid enough to decide to step in my way,
00:59:33it will become very, very clear that I am the only one next in line for that TNA knockouts title.
00:59:46Because whether you like it or not, you are all living in the era of Elena.
00:59:58Elena Black has made her presence felt.
01:00:02Daria Ray's first signing as the suit here in TNA wrestling.
01:00:11I'm telling you, Elena Black is the future of the knockouts division.
01:00:14Time will tell.
01:00:15I mean, let's just claim this.
01:00:17Time will tell next week.
01:00:19And I'll be right, like always.
01:00:21I will.
01:00:21Miss Ray, can I have a moment with my father, please?
01:00:25Sure.
01:00:26I'll call you.
01:00:33I'm sorry.
01:00:37I'm sorry.
01:00:39I'm sorry.
01:00:40I'm sorry.
01:00:41I'm sorry that I hurt you the way I did.
01:00:46Physically, emotionally, Dad.
01:00:48I did not mean any of those things.
01:00:51I was hurt.
01:00:53I thought I was hurt.
01:00:56This job has never been easy.
01:00:59But I know in my heart, I know that you did it for us.
01:01:06It was, I don't want to say it was Stacks, but Stacks felt like maybe you should have done more
01:01:13for me.
01:01:13And I believed that.
01:01:15But now I know he was wrong.
01:01:17And what I did was wrong.
01:01:19And we have an amazing relationship.
01:01:21I love working with you.
01:01:23You're the best dad a girl could ever ask for.
01:01:26And I just, I just, please forgive me.
01:01:31Please forgive me, Dad.
01:01:33I'm sorry.
01:01:34I'm sorry.
01:01:40I can't stay here.
01:01:42I'm a liar.
01:01:46I'm so sorry.
01:01:55Perhaps a little cooling of familial tensions as we get set for this one-on-one main event.
01:02:21John Schuyler and Jason Hodge, we saw compete earlier on tonight in Feast or Fire.
01:02:27Plus Tasha Steeles and Special Agent Zero of Order 4.
01:02:32Culling Convents is scheduled for one call.
01:02:36Introducing first, accompanied by Order 4, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 206 pounds,
01:02:44Mustafa Ali!
01:02:48Ali believes he is the absolute best that TNA has to offer.
01:02:52This past weekend at Genesis, which you can watch back anytime on demand on our streaming platform TNA+.
01:02:58Ali cheated to defeat the notorious attraction, Elijah, with the help of Order 4.
01:03:07Was he disqualified?
01:03:08Did the referee see this impression you speak of?
01:03:12No.
01:03:13The record book shows Mustafa Ali winner versus Elijah.
01:03:19And that's all that matters to Order 4 and Ali himself.
01:03:23And now he puts another person down in his path.
01:03:28The legend, the GOAT, as they say, Jeff Hardy, about to fall to Ali.
01:03:36Can Ali topple the charismatic enigma?
01:03:40The three-time TNA World Champion, one half of the reigning Tag Team Champions tonight.
01:04:02And he's a poet, accompanied by Matt Hardy, from the Hardy compound in Cameron, North Carolina.
01:04:09He is one half of the TNA World Champion, Jeff Hardy!
01:04:23This past weekend at Genesis, the Hardy successfully defended their titles against the righteous.
01:04:28And there you can see Jeff Hardy saying hi to Chris Van Fleet.
01:04:31I can tell you, the Hardys will be the guests of Chris Van Fleet on Insight this coming Thursday, wherever
01:04:37you get your podcasts.
01:04:39It's an absolute Hardy party anywhere these guys go all over the country.
01:04:45Coming up next, it's our main event matchup.
01:04:48For the first time in over four years, Jeff Hardy goes one-on-one with Mustafa Ali, live next.
01:04:57We are set for our main event matchup here, live in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
01:05:02This is TNA Thursday Night Impact.
01:05:05It's Jeff Hardy, one-on-one with Mustafa Ali, for the first time in over four years.
01:05:11Plenty for both these sides to gain in the wake of Genesis this past weekend.
01:05:16No doubt about it, Ali coming off a big win against Elijah.
01:05:21Elijah, the Hardys, of course, were successful in, let's say, unique fashion against the Righteous.
01:05:31What did you make of that matchup between the Righteous and the Hardys?
01:05:34I mean, the matchup itself was straight.
01:05:36It seemed for much of it that the Righteous didn't even want to fight the Hardys.
01:05:41They felt like they were being forced to even hit the Hardys.
01:05:45And then at the end, Dutch got on the microphone and singing, almost, what?
01:05:50The Hardys get the finishing blow.
01:05:53It was very, very strange.
01:05:57Look at this.
01:05:58Jeff Hardy messing with the former X Division champion Mustafa Ali.
01:06:04Great night of action here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
01:06:08We're going to be taking it to the road here pretty soon.
01:06:10We'll be in Nashville, Tennessee for No Surrender.
01:06:13The next time we're live on TNA+, Impact on February 14th in Music City.
01:06:18We'll be in Atlanta, Georgia for two nights at TNA Impact, March 5th and 6th.
01:06:23And the Sacrifice live on TNA+, in the Big Easy, New Orleans, Louisiana.
01:06:28And Impact on March 28th in Nolan.
01:06:31Now to TNAwrestling.com for complete ticket information.
01:06:34The Mega On Sale is on its way.
01:06:37It begins tomorrow.
01:06:38And don't forget, still to come tonight after our main event matchup,
01:06:41the newest member of the system will be revealed by JDC.
01:06:46Johnny Dango Curtis wrestled his last match in this business this past weekend at Genesis.
01:06:51Falling to his system brother, Eddie Edwards.
01:06:54And Ali has got to get back to the drawing board here.
01:06:59Jeff Hardy, I mean, I'm going to say it, going pretty old school here.
01:07:04Out wrestling in the early goings.
01:07:07Mustafa Ali, I can't even believe I'm saying that.
01:07:10Hashtag TNA Impact now trending on social media.
01:07:14Thank you for tuning in live on AMC as well as simulcast on AMC+,
01:07:19and TNA+, around the world.
01:07:24Jeff Hardy's had a great opening couple of minutes here in this matchup.
01:07:27But boom, you have to wonder.
01:07:30Jeff Hardy's been focusing on the tag team race.
01:07:33Ali standing up strong in the singles division.
01:07:36Is that going to play a factor here for Ali and Hardy?
01:07:40Jeff Hardy ducks underneath.
01:07:41Oh, wait for the big right there.
01:07:43And Ali, Ali to the outside.
01:07:45Trying to evade Jeff Hardy.
01:07:47Ali, obviously showing a lot of respect for the charismatic enigma.
01:07:51Face first off of the apron goes Ali.
01:07:56A simple mind game there from Jeff Hardy.
01:07:59And Ali pays the price.
01:08:01I wonder if Ali is getting in his own head about facing the charismatic enigma here.
01:08:05And now Order 4, John Schuyler, Jason Hodge, Tasha Steeles,
01:08:10and Special Agent Zero calling for a timeout on the outside of the ring.
01:08:14That's not how it works in wrestling.
01:08:16A little bit of breathing room again.
01:08:17He's got the 10 count on the outside to regroup.
01:08:21Order 4, of course, in the corner of Mustafa Ali.
01:08:24Matt Hardy here backing up his brother Jeff Hardy as well.
01:08:28And now Order 4, John Schuyler, Jason Hodge, Tasha Steeles.
01:08:35This history has been written by Matt and Jeff Hardy.
01:08:39Surefire future TNA Hall of Famers.
01:08:42They helped build this company and do what it is today.
01:08:44I mean, so much of pro wrestling as a whole over the last 30 years
01:08:49is much in part due to the Hardys and their contributions.
01:08:55There is no doubt about it.
01:08:59Jeff.
01:09:00Out of the corner.
01:09:01Move to the close line.
01:09:02Turning Ali inside out.
01:09:04I thought Ali had turned this matchup around.
01:09:06Instead, he gets turned inside out.
01:09:09Oh!
01:09:10And neither by Ali.
01:09:11Able to slow up Jeff Hardy's offense.
01:09:14Now Hardy dumped to the outside.
01:09:18A little bit of payback for the beginning moments of this matchup
01:09:21where Jeff Hardy kept dumping Ali to the outside.
01:09:25Jeff's brother Matt going to check on him.
01:09:28Oh, wait a minute.
01:09:28It's John Schuyler.
01:09:30Oh, Jason Hodge.
01:09:31They took part in Feaster.
01:09:32Fired earlier on tonight.
01:09:33And there's Tasha Steals.
01:09:35Don't you do it, Matt Hardy.
01:09:36Steals the propaganda extraordinaire for Order 4.
01:09:41And it's an awful ball.
01:09:43Oh, Special Agent Zero.
01:09:44You threaten Tasha.
01:09:46You threaten Order 4.
01:09:47And that is what you get.
01:09:53And just like that, Order 4 has leveled the playing field.
01:09:57Can Jeff Hardy get back in it against Mustafa Ali here live on AMC?
01:10:07This is episode 1,123 of TNA Thursday Night Impact.
01:10:13We are live on AMC.
01:10:15This is our main event matchup.
01:10:17Jeff Hardy one-on-one with Mustafa Ali of Order 4.
01:10:21You can see those steel steps there just a hair away.
01:10:25Hardy trying to avoid them.
01:10:27Those are moved into position moments ago by Special Agent Zero.
01:10:33Oh, my God.
01:10:34What is going through the mind of Jeff Hardy here?
01:10:36Dear God.
01:10:36Oh, my God.
01:10:37Oh, a twist of fate to Ali.
01:10:40Into the steel steps.
01:10:42Good God.
01:10:45Order 4's plan backfires.
01:10:49Unfortunately, we're going to get another look at this.
01:10:52Jeff Hardy, the twist of fate.
01:10:54Ali neck and chest first.
01:10:57Under that diamond-bladed lower step.
01:11:01You can see the way the fans reacted here live in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
01:11:05What a matchup this has been.
01:11:07And don't forget, still to come this evening,
01:11:10the newest member of the system will be revealed.
01:11:14Johnny Dango Curtis wrestled his last match of Genesis falling
01:11:18to his system brother, Eddie Edwards.
01:11:20Who will join TNA's franchise players within the system?
01:11:24We'll find out tonight.
01:11:28But who is going to walk out of this match?
01:11:30I thought Ali had this one in the bag.
01:11:32But Jeff Hardy, like he's done his entire career,
01:11:37can never be counted out.
01:11:40Count of eight here from our referee, Alice Lane.
01:11:42Both up to the count of ten to get back inside the ring.
01:11:45Count nine.
01:11:46Jeff Hardy's back up.
01:11:48All in.
01:11:48Hardy both beat the count.
01:11:50I was afraid I might have spoken too soon.
01:11:52Both men might have been counted out.
01:11:54It would have been a shame if this match would end there with a double count out.
01:12:02Now, they find themselves in a slugging match on their knees, center of the ring here.
01:12:10Jeff!
01:12:11Jeff!

01:20:33bear bronson
01:20:34who exploded onto the scene here in tna

01:21:32bronson
01:21:33And Myers are now attacking Moose.
01:21:35What the hell? Where is his coming from?
01:21:38Not only... Oh, wait a second.
01:21:42Well, I'm Cedric and Alexander who tangled with Moose earlier on tonight.
01:21:46Alexander rushing the ring with a steel chair.
01:21:50Providing a little bit of backup here for Moose and Jadie.
01:21:55See, what the hell is going on in the system?
01:21:58Alexander running off the rest of the system.
01:22:04Moose have absolutely imploded here.
01:22:10Oh, no!
01:22:13Not like this!
01:22:16Cedric Alexander joining the free here!
01:22:23Good God!
01:22:27Harold Blotts and Cedric Alexander!
01:22:31Hold them!
01:22:32You see, Moose, this is the part of the plan we didn't tell you about.
01:22:37We're not just replacing one member, we're replacing two!
01:22:43And hey, since you had such a hard time trusting in the system,
01:22:48now you're going to find out the hard way.
01:22:50You can't beat the system!
01:22:56Good God, look at this absolute beatdown!
01:23:02Jadie C just left his career in the ring.
01:23:06Moose unceremoniously ejected from the system!
01:23:18Moose has been excommunicated by the very dynasty he helped to create!
01:23:26Moose, this is the part of the system!
01:23:28Moose, this is the part of the system!
01:23:28Well, clearly, between Cedric Alexander, Bear Bronson, and the rest, there is a brand new regime
01:23:35to bow down to when it comes to the system.
01:23:39Moose, stop it!
01:23:41Stop it!
01:23:43I don't think she's trying to make sense of this!
01:23:49None of us can see this coming
01:24:00An absolute sea change
01:24:03Within the system
01:24:07JDC's career ends
01:24:09With betrayal
01:24:10From his best friend
01:24:13Eddie Edwards
01:24:19A new era for TNA
01:24:22And a new era
01:24:23For the system
01:24:25A violent system
