iMPACT: One last stop before Rebellion

Greetings and salutations! It’s Thursday so that means it’s time for another episode of TNA iMPACT. This is the go-home show before this Sunday’s Rebellion PPV. Coming from Las Vegas and WrestleMania, Joe Hendry wiill team wiith Elijah and take on Frankie Kazarian and NXT’s Ethan Page. We will also see the Hardy compound once again as the Nemeth brothers make a visit. Tessa Blanchard will be in action. We will also see NXT’s Jacy Jayne will go one-on-one with Rosemary. We will also see Moose and JDC taking on Trey Miguel and Ace Austin. With all of this and so much more, let’s get straight to the action.

Moose & JDC (w/ Alisha Edwards) vs. Trey Miguel & Ace Austin

Austin gets the hot tag from Miguel, and he clears house. Miguel tags back, but he easts a Powerbomb from Moose that gives The System the momentum right back. We see some more back-and-forth action. Alisha Edwards is on the apron and distracts Miguel, allowing Brian Myers to hit his finisher. JDC with the cover and the win for his team.

Winners: Moose & JDC

After the match, Myers and Eddie Edwards join Moose and JDC in the ring to celebrate.

Masha Slamovich talks about Tessa Blanchard attacking her coach and questioning whether the title was worth fighting for through all the struggles. Tommy Dreamer appears and gives her a talking to and tells her that her coach is proud of who she has become.

Mike Santana was in a meeting, and he talks about using his weakness to make strength and how this lets him push himself forward. He then talks about Mustafa Ali and saying he was the embodiment of weakness. Santana said Ali is the one that is an addict as he takes pride in seeing someone like him rising from the very bottom. Santana said an addict was someone who could not admit they had a problem. He ends things by promising he would make sure things with Mustafa Ali end at TNA Rebellion.

Heather by Elegance, George Iceman and Maggie Lee are all backstage and are nervous because they have a Zoom call with Ash By Elegance. Ash yells and berates them for getting her stuck in a fatal-four-way tag-title tilt at TNA Rebellion. She cuts her own version of a mini-Steiner math promo.

Jacy Jane (w/ Fallon Henley & Jazmyn Nyx) vs. Rosemary

Rosemary escapes a rear chin-lock, band comes right back with a flurry of offense on Jayne. Rosemary bites Jane’s fingers and then bites her face. Jane comes back with a Knee strike, but Rosemary rises up and hits a reverse DDT for a close 2-count. Rosemary gets Jane on her shoulders, but Nyx gets on the apron and helps Jane escape. Rosemary spears Nyx off the apron but then turns around into a discus punch from Jane for the cheap win by the NXT superstar.

Winner: Jacy Jane

After the match, Fatal Influence attacked Rosemary after the match, but Lei Ying Lee & Xia Brookside made the save. Santino Marella then announced that Fatal Influence will face Lee, Brookside & Rosemary at TNA Rebellion

The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth) came to the Hardy Compound. This was exactly what you think it would be. We saw a returning Willow The Wisp dancing to “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar. We also saw Ryan Nemeth getting a therapy session with Wolfgang Hardy, and so much more. Eventually, the Nemeths take out Matt Hardy. Jeff Hardy tried to make the save, but The Nemeths run away with the TNA Tag Titles.

Trey Miguel and Ace Austin arebackstage. They talk about The System always cheating and causing chaos. Austin says he can’t lean on Chris Bey anymore and then Miguel mentions how The System even took out Zachary Wentz. Miguel grabs his cell phone and calls Sean Waltman to call in ‘a favour’

Tessa Blanchard vs Missa Kate

Blanchard dominates this short match and hits her s and Masha Slamovich’s Buzzsaw for the win.

Winner: Tessa Blancchard

After the match, she is attacked by Slamovich. Slamovich takes Blanchard down and cranks her arm hard. Slamovich stares down to a fallen Blanchard.

Steve Maclin was writing in his notepad near a fire before Eric Young joined him. Young gave Maclin one more offer to join “The Northern Armory” but Maclin politely declined it before they shared a drink… but it was a trap from Young. Maclin immediately fell to the floor after taking the drink, which led to Young throwing Maclin’s notepad into the flames and telling Maclin his words did not mean a f**king thing and he would take the title at TNA Rebellion.

Joe Hendry & Elijah defeated Frankie Kazarian & Ethan Page

Hendry’s shoulder is heavily taped up, and he is clearly injured. Kazarian looks for Fade to Black, but Hendry escapes and rolls Kazarian up for a close 2-count. Kazarian hits a splash off the ropes and gets a 2-count of his own. Hendry hits a cutter to Kazarian from the ropes. Joe tries a Standing Ovation but his shoulder is so bad, that he can’t lift Kazarian. Elijah tags himself in as Hendry is pretty much useless. Kazarian goes to tag Page, but Page says no, and Elijah delivers the Highwayman’s Farewell to Kazarian for the win.

And that is all she wrote as we are on the road to Rebellion this weekend.
