TNA Turning Point 11/14/25 (Results) – Dezmond Xavier (fka Wes Lee) returns – NXT Invasion

Countdown Pre-Show Highlights

• Kazarian rolls in as “the champ that matters.”
New TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian arrived all swagger, brushing off Mike Santana as “yesterday’s news.” His attitude would be a theme for the night.

• Santino secures the building.
After NXT’s hostile appearance on Impact, Santino Marella put security on every door. According to him, this was a “closed set” situation.

• Jake Something wins chaotic three-way.
Jake Something outlasted Mance Warner and the mysterious Home Town Man in a wild opener. After Warner got distracted by Steph De Lander, the Home Town Man hit Sliced Bread… only to be snatched up by Jake and slammed Into the Void for the victory.

Kazarian’s Coronation — and Another Accusation

Kazarian rolled out his “King’s Speech,” bragging that his title win was his dream and the fans’ nightmare. He insisted he did not orchestrate the NXT invasion, though TNA President Carlos Silva revealed Kaz is on the investigation list.

Nic Nemeth interrupted and pointed the finger directly at Kaz. Nemeth vowed he’d cash in his Call Your Shot trophy later tonight — but first, they had business as reluctant tag partners.

Turning Point: Full Results

Kelani Jordan retains the Knockouts Championship

Kelani Jordan survived a physical showdown with M by Elegance. After M muscled her around and hit a fireman’s carry driver, the champ battled back, targeted the leg, and finished it with a split-legged moonsault.

Backstage, Gia Miller’s post-match interview was derailed by Ryan Nemeth, who chirped that the only story worth covering was whether his brother would cash in tonight.

NXT fallout continues

Ava denied any involvement with the NXT invasion, reminding Santino that NXT is her turf — but TNA is his to manage. Arianna Grace backed up her father and kept the peace.

AJ Francis overpowers BDE

YouTuber-turned-competitor BDE came out hot with dives, speed, and a slick Canadian Destroyer counter — but it wasn’t enough to topple the powerhouse. Francis flattened him with a spear and back-to-back chokeslams to seal the win.

No DQ: Indi Hartwell defeats Dani Luna

This one was as messy as advertised. Chairs, ladders, powder — you name it. The finish came when Hartwell drilled Luna with a Hurts Donut onto a steel chair after an elbow drop that sent both women crashing through a table.

Knockouts Tag Champs retain in triple threat turmoil

With Tessa Blanchard not cleared, Victoria Crawford drafted Mila Moore as her replacement partner. Things broke down fast, and in the chaos, The IInspiration caught Xia Brookside and planted her with the Idolizer to keep the gold.

Order 4 steals a win over Hardys & Cedric Alexander

The Hardys were rolling until Tasha Steelz cut off Jeff on the top rope. Ali tried to capitalize but wiped out Steelz instead. Matt hit a double Twist of Fate and nearly stole it, but Agent Zero yanked out the referee. Order 4 swarmed Alexander, and Ali snagged a low-blow roll-up for the cheap victory.

The Rascalz reunite — with Dezmond Xavier — to beat The System

A surprise eruption: Dezmond Xavier (fka Wes Lee) returned to team with The Rascalz in an eight-man sprint. Myron Reed hit highlight-reel cutters, Hot Fire Flame landed everywhere, and Xavier sealed the win with a picture-perfect Spiral Tap on Johnny Dango Curtis. Respect was shown all around afterward.

Eric Young points fingers at Santino

Young confronted the Director of Authority and accused him of being the mastermind behind the NXT assaults. He ominously warned a “cleanse” was coming.

X-Division: Leon Slater guts out a win over Rich Swann

Despite taking a nasty shot to the eye early and struggling with his balance, the young champion powered through. Slater reversed Swann into a Styles Clash and followed with the Swanton 450 to retain.

Post-match, TNA honored Slater’s late grandmother. Slater also mentioned he’s eyeing NXT Gold Rush, hoping to become the youngest NXT Tag Team Champion alongside Je’Von Evans.

Tag Team Main Event — and a Wild Post-Match Twist

Mike Santana finally shows, teaming with Steve Maclin to beat Kazarian & Nic Nemeth

Maclin had to start the match alone after Santana was absent all night. The former Marine held his own until distractions caught up. Just when Kaz and Nemeth were running the numbers, Santana stormed out, heavily taped but explosive. He drilled Kaz with the Spin The Block discus lariat to score the win.

But the night wasn’t over.

NXT Raids TNA… Again

Nic Nemeth seemed poised to cash in his Call Your Shot trophy on a downed Kazarian — but before the referee could make it official, the NXT contingent hit the ring en masse.

Robert Stone, Lexis King, Charlie Dempsey, High Ryze, Stacks, and Brooks Jensen overwhelmed everyone in sight. Even The Hardys couldn’t swing the tide with chairs. NXT closed the night standing tall over a wrecked TNA roster.

J.D.C. Announces Planned Retirement, Set to Wrap Up Career After TNA Genesis 2026

Longtime fans might want to savor the next year and a half of J.D.C.’s run — because the former Fandango has officially put a date on the end of his in-ring career.

During this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT!, The System hit the ring for what seemed like a routine group promo. Moose, Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, and J.D.C. each had a turn to speak, but before Myers could even grab the mic, J.D.C. stepped forward and delivered a major announcement.

J.D.C. Reveals Retirement Plan

J.D.C. shared that he recently got married, and after long conversations with his wife about life after wrestling, he’s decided he will retire at TNA Genesis in 2026. The reveal was emotional, with J.D.C. taking time to thank the fans and both companies that shaped his career.

A New Perspective on His Journey

The veteran admitted that he didn’t always appreciate the opportunities he had along the way, but said his mindset has changed as he heads into the final stretch. He called TNA “the best locker room” he’s ever been part of and made it clear he wants to help The System transition smoothly by finding someone to step into his spot.

A Career Spanning WWE & TNA

J.D.C. — best remembered by WWE audiences as Fandango — spent 15 years under the WWE umbrella from 2006 until his 2021 release. After hitting the independent scene for a stretch, he resurfaced in TNA in 2023 and has been a regular presence ever since.

With Genesis 2026 circled as his final night in the ring, fans now have a long runway to appreciate this last chapter. And if his recent work in The System is any indication, J.D.C. appears set on going out on his own terms — grateful, grounded, and giving back.

Joe Hendry Reportedly Wraps Up With TNA, Now Under WWE Contract

Joe Hendry’s momentum hasn’t slowed down for a second — and it looks like WWE is officially cashing in on the buzz.

After weeks of fans speculating about his future, Fightful Select is reporting that Hendry is finished with TNA and has now signed with WWE, finally answering one of the biggest questions coming out of his recent NXT appearances.

Quiet Exit From TNA?

According to the report, Hendry is no longer part of TNA’s internal creative plans. While he may still be spotted backstage at upcoming TNA events — he lives nearby and is tight with much of the roster — he’s not expected to appear on-screen. Essentially, all signs point to his run with TNA being over.

WWE Wanted Him Badly

One of the most interesting details from Fightful’s report is just how much WWE officials, particularly Shawn Michaels, have been pushing to land Hendry. Michaels has reportedly been a fan of Hendry’s work for a long time and strongly advocated for WWE to bring him in.

The twist? Hendry’s TNA contract wasn’t actually set to expire yet. Fightful’s sources suggest he still had months left on his deal, which implies one thing — WWE likely bought him out to expedite his jump to NXT.

TNA Pushed Back Publicly

Just a few weeks ago, TNA President Carlos Silva insisted that Hendry was still a TNA talent and would remain one “until he’s not.” At the time, Silva framed Hendry’s NXT appearances as part of the working agreement between TNA and WWE.

Well… it seems we’re officially at the “he’s not” part.

What’s Next for Hendry in WWE?

Hendry has already been connecting with the NXT audience in a way very few newcomers do. Fans loudly backed him in his feud with Ethan Page, and his charisma has made him an instant standout. With WWE now reportedly locking him in, don’t be surprised if his NXT presence grows quickly — or if he becomes one of the next big crossover stars to jump to the main roster.

One thing’s for sure: you believe in Joe Hendry — and now, apparently, so does WWE enough to buy him out.

Raven Opens Up About Mental Health Struggles in New Documentary

ECW legend and former WWE, WCW, and TNA star Raven is known to wrestling fans as one of the sharpest minds and most captivating talkers of the 1990s. But behind the dark promos and brooding character, the man behind the persona—Scott Levy—was fighting an emotional battle that fans never saw.

In his newly released documentary, Nevermore: The Raven Effect, the hardcore icon opens up about his journey to sobriety and the mental health challenges that shaped both his life and career.

Raven revealed that he lives with multiple personality disorders, a diagnosis he discovered by accident during treatment. “You’re not supposed to know your diagnosis,” he explained, “but I happened to read it upside down on my doctor’s desk… it said histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. To me, it was freeing—now I understood why I behaved the way I did.”

The former ECW World Champion went on to describe how those disorders affected his life and relationships. “Narcissistic Personality Disorder is basically egomania,” he said. “But histrionic is more twisted—needing to be the center of attention, being overly dramatic, using appearance to draw attention. I checked all the boxes.”

Raven connected much of his emotional turmoil to his complicated relationship with his father. He recalled that his dad’s constant insults and sarcasm shattered his self-esteem, leading him to overcompensate through ego and bravado. “If I brag about myself and convince you that I’m great,” Raven admitted, “maybe you’ll convince me that I am.”

He shared that it wasn’t until his father’s passing that he was finally able to move forward. “When he died, that’s when I finally became an adult. I was 35, but before that, I was still a kid chasing my dad’s approval.”

For fans who followed Raven’s career through the chaos of ECW, the bright lights of WWE, and the creative freedom of TNA, this revelation offers a deeply human look at the man behind one of wrestling’s most complex characters.

Raven’s story is a reminder that even the toughest minds in the business fight battles that go unseen—and his willingness to open up about those struggles continues to make him one of wrestling’s most compelling voices, both in and out of the ring.

Matt Hardy Teases Major New Media Rights Deal On The Horizon For TNA

TNA Wrestling could be heading toward one of its biggest business moves in years, according to none other than Matt Hardy.

Speaking on a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the veteran star opened up about what fans can expect from a “Broken Rules Match,” describing it as a chaotic, anything-goes environment where “the standard rules in a pro wrestling match are broken.” Hardy said the concept lets the action spill anywhere in the arena — a true showcase of the unpredictable, high-energy style he’s become known for.

But Hardy’s biggest revelation came when he shifted gears to talk about TNA’s future behind the scenes. The former World Champion hinted that a new media rights deal could be finalized and announced before the end of the year, potentially changing the company’s exposure in a major way.

“I think some very exciting things are on the horizon,” Hardy said. “From what I’m hearing, by the end of this year, maybe the start of next, there’s going to be a new media rights deal announced. It’s going to be huge for TNA.”

Hardy added that the company has seen real growth recently — from attendance and ticket sales to pay-per-view buy rates — and credited the locker room’s hard work for that momentum.

TNA currently airs weekly programming, it’s flagship show IMPACT currently airs on AXS TV. TNA has been rebuilding its brand over the past year with a mix of established veterans and rising stars. If Hardy’s comments prove true, a new broadcast deal could give the promotion the platform it needs to reach a larger audience and continue that upward trend heading into 2026.

WWE Hall Of Famer Kurt Angle Reflects on His TNA Run: “I Think I Had a Better Career There” – Angle Gives Health Update

WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently opened up about his time in TNA Wrestling and offered a surprisingly honest comparison to his legendary WWE career. Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Angle revealed that despite his iconic run in WWE, he believes his best in-ring work came after he made the jump to TNA in 2006.

“I had a better career, too. I had better matches,” Angle admitted. “That’s really hard to say because I had some great ones in WWE, but I came into my own [in TNA]. You don’t really hit your stride until six or seven years in, and that’s right when I left WWE.”

Angle said that joining TNA reignited his passion for wrestling, especially given the wealth of fresh talent on the roster at the time. He went on to list several of his top opponents, including AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Bobby Roode, and James Storm, among others.

“When I left WWE, I was salivating because there was so much untapped talent in TNA,” he said. “I couldn’t wait to get down there. I take pride in that period — I think I had a better career there.”

Angle also noted that his move to TNA seemed to spark an influx of big names from WWE joining the company, such as Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, and Hulk Hogan, which helped TNA build one of its strongest rosters ever.

“Once I went to TNA, I felt a whole slew followed me… we had a lot of good years and great talent,” Angle said. “I’m proud of what we accomplished.”

Health Update: Angle Shares How He’s Managing Injuries

Angle didn’t shy away from discussing his ongoing health struggles, a result of decades of intense physical competition. The Olympic gold medalist shared that while some surgeries have helped, others haven’t gone as planned.

“I had my knees replaced, and that was a blessing — no pain there,” Angle said. “But I had surgery on my lower back, and that didn’t work at all. What did help was core training. Not the surgery — the training.”

However, Angle revealed he’s now facing another tough decision regarding his shoulders.

“My doctor told me shoulder replacement surgeries are a 50/50 deal,” he explained. “He suggested waiting a few years because technology’s improving. So for now, I’m holding off.”

Despite the setbacks, Angle continues to train and stay active, though he’s careful not to overdo it.

“I just go through the motions and keep my body in shape. I have to keep my weight down because my knees are only supposed to last 20 years — if I gain too much, that drops to 10.”

Kurt Angle’s legacy spans both WWE and TNA, but hearing him reflect so fondly on his time in the six-sided ring underscores just how important that chapter was to his career — and to the evolution of modern wrestling itself.
