The New TNA Champ is here
Santana stepped into the ring and told the crowd how good it felt to be back. A “you deserve it” chant broke out with the Full Sail faithful. Santana talked in Spanish then said that having the title puts a target on his back, especially with Nic Nemeth and Frankie Kazarian who are holding the Call Your Shot trophy. Santana warned that anyone stepping up to him better match his passion or get eaten alive.

Ryan Nemeth comes out and is angry that Santana is talking about his big brother. Santana warns he’d wipe the smile off his face if he used that name again. Ryan claimed Nic’s flight was delayed but promised his brother would take the championship as fast as he could say “Orlando sucks.” Santana tells Ryan that when he was done “chewing on his brother’s jockstrap,” he could talk to him like a man. When Ryan tried to slap him, Santana caught his arm and calmly asked, “What are we doing?” He warned Ryan that he’d drop him where he stood if he didn’t shut up.
Santana then said he planned to ask Santino Marella for a title defense against “the least deserving person on the roster.” He ordered Ryan to acknowledge him, which Ryan reluctantly did. Santana told him he’d beat him, and Ryan could then report back to his brother that he failed because he’s a scrub.

Hannifan and Rehwoldt spoke at their desk and hyped Santana and Steve Maclin vs. Nic Nemeth and Frankie Kazarian at Friday’s Turning Point special on TNA+. They also said Santana vs. Ryan Nemeth was official for later in the show, and plugged the Knockouts Title match
Backstage, Gia Miller interviewed Knockouts Champion Kelani Jordan about her upcoming title defense against Heather by Elegance later tonight, as well as her match with M by Elegance at Turning Point. Jordan said she actually wished she were facing Ash by Elegance, noting that Ash was her mentor in NXT, but admitted that isn’t possible right now.
Mara Sade, Lei Ying Lee, and Xia Brookside show up and Sade told Jordan they understood the pressure she was dealing with and invited her to hang out in their locker room to get a break from it all. Jordan replied that they couldn’t possibly understand pressure since none of them had ever been a champion. Lee said something to Jordan and Brookside called Jordan a “C-U-Next-Tuesday.” Jordan balks back at them all…

McKenzie Mitchell introduced TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella, who then brought out NXT General Manager Ava. Ava said that at NXT Showdown, NXT and TNA put aside their differences and earned each other’s respect. She added that she was proud of the event’s outcome, noting that together they delivered something the wrestling world never expected, and would never forget.
Ava promised more matches, more opportunities, and more unforgettable moments ahead. Whether fans were Team NXT or Team TNA, she asked only that they keep watching. Ava then said that while she can’t be on iMPACT every week, someone else could.
Arianna Grace then joined her on stage, and greeted her father, Santino, with a hug. Grace said she missed TNA and was back to help keep things orderly.

A brief video aired for the NXT Gold Rush themed shows that will air the next two Tuesdays on The CW… Entrances for the opening match took place
Indi Hartwell vs. Dani Luna
Luna sent Hartwell over the top rope, then followed with a clothesline that put her down for an early two-count. The action spilled to the floor, where Hartwell answered with a hard spinebuster at ringside. She rolled Luna back into the ring and hit a top-rope elbow to the back, scoring another near fall.
Hartwell set up for her finisher, but Luna countered by driving her into the middle rope. Luna then grabbed a chair from ringside and slid it into the ring. Hartwell nearly stole the win with a small package for two, but when the fight continued, she grabbed the chair and blasted Luna across the back, which drew a DQW.
Winner: Dani Luna via DQ
.@indi_hartwell SNAPPED!

Footage aired of Eric Young airs. He is talking with fans outside of Full Sail. In the distance we see a masked man holding a sign that read “The Cleanse Is Coming.” Young starts repeating that while handing out flyers featuring the same slogan along with a QR code. Young says that “the truth is coming” and that it was just around the corner.
Backstage, Indi Hartwell issued a challenge to Dani Luna for a No DQ match at Turning Point…
The System Speaks
“The System”, Moose, Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, and JDC are out. Eddie praised Alisha’s performance in the Hardcore War at Bound For Glory, and said that tons of family watched, most importantly, their daughter. Moose also praised Alisha and said she’s truly hardcore and that the group once again showed why you can always trust The System.
JDC then took the mic, and started to get emotional as he talked about growing up with Eddie and having both of their families backstage. He mentioned he was married two months ago, with all the members of The System attending.
JDC announced that, after talking it over with his wife, he will retire from in-ring competition following January’s Genesis pay-per-view. He said he chose to make the announcement at Full Sail because “this place means the world to me.”
JDC said he was thankful for his 27 years in the industry, expressing gratitude for both WWE and TNA. He admitted there were times he didn’t appreciate what he had, but said the current TNA locker room is the best he’s ever been part of, and he would help The System decide who should eventually take his place.
The lights briefly went out, and when they came back on, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Myron Reed, and Zachary Wentz) were standing on the stage. Miguel challenges The System. Moose pointed out that The System had four active members while The Rascalz only had three (Wes Lee anyone).
Wentz responded by saying it was funny Moose would mention that, because they just happened to be in Orlando and they just happened to know “a must-see kid” who lives nearby. Wentz said that while things have been rocky with this person, they talked it out and agreed they were still family. JDC then accepted the eight-man tag challenge.

Order 4 has something to say
“Order 4” ( Mustafa Ali, Jason Hotch, John Skyler, Agent Zero, and Tasha Steelz) were shown walking backstage. Ali told Hotch he was counting on him to get Order 4’s campaign back on track, promising big things in Hotch’s future if he could defeat Cedric Alexander.
The group then crossed paths with TNA Tag Team Champions Matt and Jeff Hardy, who were in the middle of a photo shoot. Ali mocked them a bit and introduced Hotch and Skyler as the team that would eventually take the tag titles from the Hardys. Steelz said that the Hardys should pay attention to Hotch’s upcoming match with Alexander.
Jeff replied that they’d be watching Cedric, their Carolina brother. Matt asked if they all have an issue and Ali said no.
It’s @TheJasonHotch’s job to get Order 4 back on the Campaign Trail TONIGHT on iMPACT!@MATTHARDYBRAND and @JEFFHARDYBRAND will be watching…@MustafaAli_X@BigBillCollier@RealTSteelz@TheJohnSkyler

Backstage, Gia Miller caught up with BDE and they chat about his match against AJ Francis at Turning Point. BDE says that he is grateful for the chance to prove he belongs in the ring, not just as a content creator or streamer. Leon Slater appeared and apologized for not being there to back him up.
Rich Swann then interrupted, mocking BDE for stepping into the ring as an influencer against Francis. Slater defended BDE, and this leads to a X Division Title match between Swann and Slater set for Turning Point.

Cedric Alexander vs. Jason Hotch (w/Agent Zero, Tasha Steelz, John Skyler)
Quick match. Mustafa Ali joined commentary for the match. Cedric Alexander hit a Flatliner for a near fall. Moments later, Jason Hotch sent Alexander over the top rope with a clothesline. As Hotch rolled back into the ring and launched himself for a high-flying move, Alexander countered with a Lumbar Check on the way down and got the pin.
Winner: Cedric Alexander
After the match, Agent Zero entered the ring and put Alexander down with a tree slam. Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy made their entrance. Jeff slammed Skylar’s head on the mat. The Hardys entered the ring, ducked when Agent Zero went after them, and then clotheslined him over the top rope. Matt put Ali down with a Twist of Fate. Jeff went up top for a Swanton, but Zero and Skylar pulled Ali from the ring to save him
.@CedricAlexander gets the W but suffers a beatdown from Order 4 until @MATTHARDYBRAND and @JEFFHARDYBRAND make the save!

A video package highlighted new Knockout Ella Moore. She talked about discovering wrestling while in college. She shared that a friend’s passing left her feeling small, but watching the first all-women’s pay-per-view inspired her. She says that Seeing the women in the ring is so powerful, Moore said she knew she wanted to become a wrestler after that.
Moore said she trained to become a wrestler at The Foundation in Orlando and said she would fly herself to California and Pittsburgh for tryouts. Moore said her stomach dropped when she saw Jada Stone get signed before her, and she nearly cried when she learned she was also being offered a contract. Moore wants to know what took TNA so long to sign her and wonders if anyone is really better than her.
TNA Knockouts Championship: Kelani Jordan vs. Heather by Elegance (w/The Concierge, M by Elegance)
Late in the match, Heather hit a DDT that spiked Jordan on her head, earning a near fall. The Concierge then distracted the referee and attempted to push Heather toward M, but M reversed the move. M prepared to throw a punch but stopped when she realized it was Heather. Heather though, fell as if she was hit and this allows Jordan to hit her One of a Kind finisher and picked up the win to retain.
Winner: And STILL TNA Knockouts Champion; Kelani Jordan

TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion “The IInspiration” Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay say how happy they are to be champions. Eventually, Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford speak in another room and they say they want the titles. Then we have Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee also saying they are going to win the Tag titles.
Let’s walk with Elijah
Elijah is ready for his performance and asks the crowd “Who wants to walk with Elijah?” Elijah then spoke about smashing Nic Nemeth’s head with a guitar at TNA Bound For Glory and reflected on his own injury. He says that “tomorrow is never promised.” Mustafa Ali interrupted, and says that Elijah’s song seemed like a jab at Order 4’s presidential slogan.
Ali challenged The Hardys and Cedric Alexander to a match at Turning Point. Elijah wanted a match with Ali right then and there. Ali with a cheap shot as he hits Elijah with the mic, then smashed a guitar across his injured triceps.
TNA World Championship: Mike Santana (c) vs. Ryan Nemeth
Nic Nemeth immediately attacked Santana. Santana comes right back. Nic Nemeth’s entrance music hit, and the camera cut backstage to show him walking to the ring, but is attacked by masked men. Back in the ring, Brooks Jensen, Lexis King, Charlie Dempsey, Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe, and Stacks stormed the ring and assaulted Santanaf. Roberto Stone is also out and all hell broke loose which caused the match to be thrown out.
Winner: No Contest
Steve Maclin and Home Town Man rushed out to help Santana, but they were taken out by the group of NXT wrestlers. The Rascalz also ran to the ring, only to be taken down by the NXT crew. Charlie Dempsey targeted Santana’s right arm (The one he uses for his Spin The Block finisher). Brooks Jensen wrapped a chair around it and Robert Stone stomped on it.
TNA has been overrun by #WWENXT!

The NXT wrestlers eventually left as four referees checked on Santana, who continued selling the injury to his arm. Frankie Kazarian’s music hit, and he appeared carrying the Call Your Shot trophy. Kazarian told the referee he was cashing in the opportunity. The ref wasn’t sure but the match is OFFICIAL….
Mike Santana vs. Frankie Kazarian for the TNA World Championship
Santana charged at Kazarian, but Kazarian countered with the Fade to Black for a near fall. Kazarian then locked Santana in a chicken wing. Santana backs him into the corner to break the hold. Santana with a big boot and tried a Spin The Block, but his injured arm stopped that! Kazarian rolls up Santana and gets the three-count for the win and the championshipp!
