TNA Wrestling will present a new episode of Impact tonight on AXS TV, as the build continues for Rebellion on Sunday.
TNA Wrestling delivered a wild night in Las Vegas, with action-packed tournament matches and a emotional moment—capped off by Steve Maclin capturing the brand-new TNA International Championship.
In a chaotic semifinal bout, Eric Young outmaneuvered Johnny Dango Curtis and Zachary Wentz to punch his ticket to the tournament final. Early on, Young and Dango briefly worked together to slow down Wentz, but the Rascal’s agility kept him in the fight. The alliance crumbled when Young powerbombed Wentz straight into Dango, sending the latter crashing to the floor. With the opening created, Young nailed his signature piledriver on Wentz for the win.
The second semifinal saw Steve Maclin outlast Ace Austin and Eddie Edwards in a brutal three-way showdown. This was a true free-for-all, highlighted by Eddie’s unique spider suplex on Austin while hanging upside down in the corner. Just as Eddie looked to capitalize, Alisha Edwards tried to lend a hand—but her mistimed punch caught her own husband. Maclin wasted no time, hitting the KIA (double underhook DDT) on Eddie to move on.
Sydney Akeem (formerly Reggie in WWE) answered Moose’s open challenge and nearly pulled off the upset of the night. Akeem had a future X-Division title shot on the line and gave it everything he had, dazzling the crowd with athleticism. However, Alisha Edwards struck again—pulling the referee out just as Akeem was about to score the win. After Alisha was ejected, Moose hit a low blow followed by a thunderous spear to steal the victory.
Matt and Jeff Hardy teamed up with Mike Santana in a six-man tag war against Nic Nemeth, Ryan Nemeth, and Mustafa Ali. The heels focused on isolating Matt, but once Jeff got the hot tag, it turned into a brawl all over the ring. Ali tried to flee after an accidental run-in with Santana, but the fiery Puerto Rican wasn’t having it—chasing him to the back. That opened the door for the Hardys to take control, with Santana returning to flatten Nic. Matt hit the Twist of Fate, Jeff followed with a Swanton Bomb, and Ryan Nemeth was toast.
Joe Hendry and Masha Slamovich scored a big win over Frankie Kazarian and Tessa Blanchard, but not without some bizarre drama. Victoria Crawford (formerly Alicia Fox) was seen ringside and even grabbed Slamovich at one point, though it didn’t factor into the finish. Tessa tried to tee Slamovich up for a Kazarian strike, but Masha escaped, causing Kaz to inadvertently strike his own partner. Slamovich delivered a stiff head kick to Kaz, and Hendry sealed it with a Standing Ovation.
Following Ali’s cowardly retreat during their tag match, Mike Santana had enough. Backstage, he cornered Santino Marella and demanded a Falls Count Anywhere match at Rebellion. Santino gave it the green light. Expect no hiding places for Ali this time.
In one of the night’s most emotional moments, Ace Austin welcomed his tag partner Chris Bey back to the stage. Bey, who suffered a serious neck injury 187 days ago, made a powerful return—walking out under his own power. Doctors once feared he wouldn’t walk again, but Bey proved otherwise. “Unbreakable” isn’t just a nickname—it’s a statement.
Sami Callihan and Mance Warner unleashed hell in a violent Barbed Wire Massacre. Both men bled profusely, but Callihan crossed into sadistic territory—rubbing salt and lemon into Warner’s wounds. In the end, Callihan channeled his inner Foley, using a barbed wire Mr. Socko for a Mandible Claw, followed by a piledriver to secure the win.
The tournament finals saw Steve Maclin battle Eric Young and powerhouse AJ Francis. Francis dominated early with raw strength, but his aggression backfired when he missed a big boot and got hung up in the corner. That’s when Maclin struck—nailing a Tree of Woe spear, followed by the KIA DDT to finish off Francis and win the match. Maclin is now the inaugural TNA International Champion.
Before the show went off the air, Matt Hardy threw down the ultimate challenge: inviting the Nemeth brothers to the Hardy Compound for DELETION. If they accept, things are about to get broken in more ways than one.

Gail Kim worked as the Head of Talent Relations. Her departure came as a shock to many. The TNA Hall of Famer issued the following statement on her Instagram page earlier today:
“I Just wanted to say thank you to the fans, friends and especially my peers for all the support you have given me over the last few days. I’ve received such an enormous amount of love and it really has helped process this change for me. More than anything I am grateful for all the years and opportunities I was given to help build something I always dreamed of. The KO division is and will always be my heart and all the women who were a part of it. Thanks to the incredibly hard working and passionate TNA talent & crew that I have had the pleasure of working with. This will not end my passion or my love for wrestling and this is not the end of Gail Kim in the wrestling world. You don’t put in 17 years in one company and stop when you are this passionate. I look forward to sharing my journey and am taking some time for myself and prepare for what’s ahead. Looking forward to the future.
THANK YOU ❤️❤️ and one last thought……. More women in leadership roles. Not less. ????????

TNA Wrestling will present a new episode of Impact tonight on AXS TV, with several WWE superstars set to compete.
As reported here earlier today, TNA Wrestling is undergoing a significant leadership shakeup, as President Carlos Silva has confirmed the departure of eight key executives from both TNA and parent company Anthem Sports & Entertainment. These changes, which include the exit of TNA Hall of Famer Gail Kim and longtime creative leader Ariel Shnerer, mark a major transition for the company as it continues its ongoing partnership with WWE.
Among the most notable exits are:
Despite these high-profile departures, TNA has also announced the hiring of two new senior executives to help steer the company’s future:
This executive restructuring comes at a pivotal time for TNA, which recently solidified a multi-year partnership with WWE that has seen talent cross between both promotions. While the departures of creative minds like Shnerer and industry veterans like Kim may raise concerns, the additions of Clevinger and Rachine suggest that TNA is looking to evolve its business strategy moving forward.
UPDATE
According to Fightful Select, Romy Glazer in Marketing and Sebastian Dastranj were also let go.
