Steve Maclin Injury Update Following Scare at TNA Sacrifice 2026

There’s a positive update on Steve Maclin after a concerning moment during the main event of TNA Sacrifice 2026.

Maclin appeared to be legitimately hurt just moments into his TNA World Championship clash with Mike Santana. After taking an early superkick, he showed visible signs that something was wrong, forcing officials to stop the match and assist him to the back. Initial speculation pointed toward a possible concussion.

However, a new report from The Takedown on Sports Illustrated provides some reassurance. According to TNA President Carlos Silva, Maclin was evaluated for a concussion and underwent further testing at a hospital, but ultimately was not diagnosed with one. Silva noted that Maclin passed all necessary tests and was able to return to his hotel later that night.

The abrupt stoppage shifted the segment’s direction, as Eddie Edwards made his way out to confront Santana, leading to a post-match altercation that saw the champion stand tall.

While the situation initially raised alarm, it appears Maclin avoided a serious injury—good news as TNA continues building toward Rebellion.

TNA Sacrifice 2026 Results

Countdown Pre-Show Highlights

Ryan Nemeth opened the evening with a win over BDE in a competitive bout. BDE nearly had it after landing a springboard cutter, but his frog splash attempt backfired when Nemeth got his knees up. Nemeth then stole the victory with a roll-up while grabbing the tights.

A major title match was made official for Rebellion, as Trey Miguel will defend the TNA International Championship against Mustafa Ali on April 11.

Tensions between factions escalated during a sit-down involving The System and Order 4. Eddie Edwards voiced concerns about Moose, prompting Ali to offer “Agent Zero” as a solution. In exchange, Edwards promised Ali a future world title shot once he captures the championship. Despite the agreement, both sides made it clear they don’t trust each other.

Tessa Blanchard picked up a win over Jody Threat after outside interference from the Diamond Collective. Despite Threat’s strong showing, including a powerbomb and vertical suplex, distractions and a weapon shot allowed Blanchard to finish things with a hammerlock DDT. The beatdown continued after the bell.

Nic Nemeth also made his intentions clear, announcing plans to challenge for the TNA World Championship at Rebellion in his hometown of Cleveland.

Sacrifice Main Card Results

Leon Slater retained the X-Division Championship in a fast-paced battle against Eric Young. A clever decoy entrance gave Slater the early advantage, and he managed to outmaneuver the veteran despite Young’s underhanded tactics. After surviving a piledriver and a stolen Styles Clash attempt, Slater sealed the win with a Swanton 450.

One Man Gang was shown in the audience

Frankie Kazarian and AJ Francis teamed up to defeat Elijah and Home Town Man. The match broke down into chaos, with Francis delivering heavy offense and Kazarian finishing things off with Fade to Black after a guitar-related distraction.

Backstage, The System denied any involvement in Matt Hardy’s earlier attack, pushing blame away from themselves.

TNA also introduced Ricky Sosa as its newest signing, with Chris Bey helping present him as a future cornerstone of the company.

In a mysterious segment, the White Rabbit storyline continued as Mila Moore was lured into danger and attacked by Havok.

Arianna Grace managed to retain the Knockouts Championship in a triple threat against Lei Ying Lee and Dani Luna. While Lee and Luna carried most of the action, interference from Stacks allowed Grace to opportunistically steal the win.

Mustafa Ali and Tasha Steelz picked up a controversial intergender tag victory over Trey Miguel and Jada Stone. Stone impressed with high-impact counters, but Order 4 interference—tying Trey to the ropes—gave Ali the opening to finish her off with a 450 splash.

Santino Marella later announced that Grace will defend her title against Xia Brookside on Impact, leading to a meltdown from the champion.

Moose defeated Eddie Edwards via disqualification The match never truly got underway, ending in disqualification after Agent Zero ambushed Moose at ringside.

Mara Sade defeated Elayna Black in a No DQ match that featured weapons and thumbtacks, with Sade scoring the win after slamming Black onto the tacks and hitting a moonsault.

Brian Myers and Cedric Alexander defeated Jeff Hardy and Vincent after chaos erupted late. A disturbing video showed Matt Hardy being attacked backstage, which distracted Vincent enough for The System to capitalize and finish Jeff.

A wild segment featuring Mickie James, ODB, and Taryn Terrell saw the legends stand tall after confronting The Elegance Brand, ending with Mickie delivering a low blow with a microphone to Mr. Elegance.

Main Event Ends in Controversy

The TNA World Championship match between Mike Santana and Steve Maclin was ruled a no-contest after Maclin appeared to suffer a legitimate concussion early in the bout. Officials and medical staff intervened, stopping the match.

The situation quickly escalated when Eddie Edwards attacked Santana, but the champion fought back and closed the show standing tall after putting Edwards through a table.

Buff Bagwell Makes Emotional TNA Return, Eyes One More Match After Life-Changing Setback

TNA Wrestling delivered a genuinely unexpected and emotional moment on last night’s episode of Thursday Night iMPACT!, as former WCW standout Buff Bagwell made his first appearance for the company in two decades—and he didn’t come quietly.

Appearing with Gia Miller at the Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta, Bagwell addressed both the live crowd and viewers at home with a tone that was far more reflective than the cocky persona fans remember. The five-time WCW World Tag Team Champion opened up about the struggles he’s faced in recent years, including a major life-altering surgery.

Bagwell revealed that he underwent a leg amputation on July 10, 2025, calling the experience devastating. From there, he shifted into a heartfelt apology, acknowledging that his behavior over the past 20 years hasn’t always reflected the performer fans once rallied behind. Admitting that his journey has been filled with more lows than highs, Bagwell asked for one more chance to earn the support of the wrestling audience.

But he didn’t stop at words. Bagwell made it clear he has a goal in mind—to walk back down the ramp, step into the ring, and compete for TNA one last time.

The crowd responded with a loud show of support, signaling that fans may be ready to embrace a redemption story. However, the moment didn’t stay entirely sentimental for long.

Frankie Kazarian interrupted the scene, taking a jab at Bagwell by twisting his famous catchphrase and suggesting that “The Buff” isn’t what it used to be. The comment drew heat quickly, but Bagwell wasn’t left to stand alone. Elijah stepped in to back the veteran, voicing his support and even suggesting he’d be honored to stand alongside Bagwell when the time comes for his return to the ring.

Bagwell’s career has been anything but smooth. Since breaking into the business in 1991, he’s endured a series of setbacks, including a broken neck, multiple car accidents, and well-documented personal struggles. Despite that turbulent history, Thursday’s appearance painted the picture of someone determined to rewrite the final chapter.

Now, the big question is whether TNA will follow through on this story and give Bagwell the opportunity he’s asking for. If the fan reaction is any indication, there’s certainly interest in seeing “Buff” attempt one more walk—and one more match—inside a TNA ring.

TNA’s The Hardys Have Signed Official WWE Merchandise Deal, Part of WWE 2K26 Video Game

Matt and Jeff Hardy’s renewed connection with WWE just took another interesting turn, as the legendary tag team has officially locked in a new merchandise deal with the company.

Speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt confirmed that The Hardy Boyz have signed an agreement with WWE that not only brings them into WWE 2K26, but could also lead to more collaborations down the line.

According to Matt, the deal is expected to extend beyond a one-off appearance, with plans for the duo to remain part of WWE’s video game landscape for the foreseeable future. He also hinted that this partnership could grow into additional opportunities, suggesting WWE may have more in mind than just nostalgia-driven content.

The Hardys’ inclusion in WWE 2K26—particularly in editions centered around the Attitude Era—feels like a natural fit. After all, Matt and Jeff were key figures during that time, redefining tag team wrestling with their high-risk style and unforgettable ladder matches. Matt noted that fan demand played a big role in making this happen, with many pushing for the brothers to be included in a game celebrating that era.

The response so far has reportedly been overwhelmingly positive, something that hasn’t gone unnoticed by WWE. That kind of feedback likely helped solidify the deal and could be a factor in expanding the partnership moving forward.

What makes this situation even more notable is that the Hardys haven’t been full-time WWE performers in years. Following their departure, both men spent time in AEW and later resurfaced in TNA Wrestling. However, the growing working relationship between WWE and TNA opened the door for crossover appearances, including matches on WWE NXT—appearances that may have ultimately paved the way for this new agreement.

While there’s no official word yet on whether this leads to a more permanent in-ring return, the door is clearly open wider than it has been in quite some time. At the very least, fans can expect to see plenty more of The Hardy Boyz in WWE projects moving forward.

Former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle Officially Signs With TNA Wrestling

Former WWE Women’s Champion Candice Michelle is officially back in the wrestling world — this time with TNA Wrestling.

TNA confirmed the news on Friday, sharing a video on social media showing Michelle signing her contract alongside company president Carlos Silva and longtime wrestling veteran Tommy Dreamer. The announcement comes after Michelle had quietly made a few appearances for the promotion in recent months.

According to Silva, Michelle will be joining the organization primarily in a behind-the-scenes capacity. During the signing video, Michelle expressed her excitement about returning to the industry that helped shape her career.

She described the opportunity as a meaningful full-circle moment, noting that she never expected wrestling to come back into her life in this way. Michelle said she’s eager to contribute however she can and help TNA continue building its future.

“I didn’t know this could come back,” Michelle said in the video. “Just being able to help build this with you guys and play even a small role in it is really a dream come true.”

Michelle also revealed that Dreamer was the one who reached out to her about returning to the business. She said he contacted her the day after Christmas to discuss the possibility of helping the company behind the scenes. Dreamer later thanked Michelle during the signing, praising her loyalty to both him and the wrestling industry over the past two decades.

While TNA confirmed her signing, the company has not yet shared details about the terms of her contract. It’s also unclear whether Michelle will appear on-screen or potentially become involved with the Knockouts division in any capacity.

Michelle first entered the wrestling world in 2004 when she competed in WWE’s Diva Search. Although she didn’t win the competition, WWE still signed her, and she quickly became a recognizable figure during the mid-2000s era of the company’s women’s division.

Over the course of her WWE run, she shared the ring with names like Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, Ashley Massaro, and Melina. Her biggest career moment came at the 2006 Vengeance pay-per-view, where she defeated Melina to capture the WWE Women’s Championship — becoming the first Diva Search contestant to win the title.

Michelle continued wrestling for several years before stepping away from the business. Her last known match took place in 2017 outside of WWE, where she picked up a victory over Lisa Marie Varon, known to WWE fans as Victoria.

Now, nearly a decade after her final match, Michelle is once again part of the wrestling industry — this time helping shape it from behind the curtain. Whether her new role eventually leads to an on-screen appearance remains to be seen, but her return adds another familiar name to TNA’s growing roster of industry veterans and contributors.

Former AEW Star Allie Reunites With Rosemary During TNA Impact Appearance

A familiar face made a surprising return on TNA Impact, as former AEW performer Allie — also known to many fans as The Bunny — showed up in a backstage segment alongside longtime ally and rival Rosemary.

Allie previously spent several years in TNA from 2013 to 2019, where she became a prominent figure in the Knockouts division. During that run, she captured the TNA Knockouts Championship twice and shared a memorable on-screen history with Rosemary, alternating between partners and adversaries.

Her original run in the promotion came to a dramatic end when her character was written off television in a storyline where she died in Rosemary’s arms. Not long after, Allie resurfaced in AEW, debuting under the name The Bunny.

While in AEW, she aligned with The Butcher and The Blade, frequently acting as their manager while also competing in the ring herself. She later formed a tag team with Penelope Ford before eventually departing the company in 2023.

In recent months, Allie has been gradually making her way back into the wrestling world. She began training for an in-ring return last year and even appeared at Border Brawl as the coach for Team Canada. Not long after, she officially returned to action at Evil Uno’s Mystery Wrestling event, teaming with Penelope Ford.

Hints about a potential TNA return started circulating recently thanks to Raven, who posted a photo on social media showing himself, Allie, and Rosemary together at a TNA taping, sparking speculation among fans.

On this week’s episode of TNA Impact, that tease paid off when Allie appeared in a backstage segment involving Rosemary, who has been involved in a series of mysterious and cryptic interactions lately.

Just before Allie’s cameo, Rosemary was shown speaking with Johnny Swinger. In a comedic moment, Swinger noticed someone walking by in a bunny costume and jokingly referred to the figure as the “Gobbledy Gooker.”

With Allie now back in the TNA universe — and once again crossing paths with Rosemary — it looks like the promotion may be revisiting one of its most unique and supernatural storylines. Fans will be watching closely to see what role The Bunny plays next.
