TNA Wrestling rolled into Edmonton for Victory Road, setting the stage for next month’s Bound For Glory. The night was filled with surprises, title changes, and some emotional moments that will have major implications going forward.

Countdown to Victory Road

The pre-show kicked off with a high-energy three-way featuring Cedric Alexander, Trey Miguel, and Zachary Wentz. Miguel got aggressive early, even superkicking his fellow Rascal. Wentz stole the spotlight, flying in with a Swanton to break up a submission before putting Alexander away with the UFO Cutter.

Winner: Zachary Wentz

Backstage, TNA International Champion Steve Maclin’s interview with Gia Miller was cut short when AAA legend El Mesias appeared, teasing a huge cross-promotional showdown.

Over in the FIR$T CLA$$ PENTHOU$E, AJ Francis ran down the Edmonton crowd before being joined by Matt Hardy. Francis tried to angle his way into the Hardys vs. Team 3D Tables Match at Bound For Glory, but Hardy shot down the idea. Things turned ugly fast as Francis put Matt through a table to send a loud message.

Meanwhile, The System demanded action against Order 4. Director of Authority Santino Marella gave them what they wanted, booking a trios clash for later in the night.

Victory Road Main Card

The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers & JDC) w/ Alisha Edwards def. Order 4 (The Great Hands & Special Agent 0)
Special Agent 0 made his TNA in-ring debut, but The System played it smart and isolated him. After chaos broke loose, JDC hit Down & Dirty to seal the win for the faction.

Knockouts World Champion Ash By Elegance Vacates Title
In an emotional moment, Ash By Elegance revealed she can no longer compete and officially relinquished the Knockouts World Championship. A battle royal was announced immediately to crown two finalists, with the new champion to be decided later in the night.

The match came down to Kelani Jordan and Léi Yǐng Lee, who would meet again with Indi Hartwell as special referee.

Finalists: Kelani Jordan & Léi Yǐng Lee

Matt Cardona & The Home Town Man def. The Nemeths (Nic & Ryan)
The crowd rallied behind the masked Home Town Man, who helped Cardona score a flash pin on Ryan Nemeth. The victory celebration was short-lived, however, as The Nemeths attacked post-match and unmasked Home Town Man.

Mike Santana def. NXT’s Ridge Holland
Holland used his power early, but Santana turned the tide with speed and resilience. After hitting the Rolling Buck 50, Santana finished Holland with Spin the Block. Post-match, TNA World Champion Trick Williams ambushed Santana, sending a clear message ahead of their rivalry.

Mustafa Ali def. Moose – Hardcore War Advantage
With both factions banned from ringside, Ali outmaneuvered Moose in a wild contest. After hitting a 450 splash that couldn’t keep Moose down, Ali’s entourage got involved. Tasha Steelz, disguised as one of Ali’s dancers, delivered a low blow that allowed Ali to land a second 450 for the huge win. Order 4 now has the numbers advantage heading into Bound For Glory.

Joe Hendry def. Eric Young
Hendry fought through injuries after a backstage attack earlier in the night. Young nearly stole it with dirty tactics, but interference from Travis Williams and Judas Icarus kept things even. Hendry countered with Standing Ovation into a steel chair for the victory.

Matt Hardy def. AJ Francis – Tables Match
After their earlier confrontation, Hardy and Francis went to war in a violent Tables Match. Hardy survived a brutal chair shot and used Francis’ arrogance against him. After hitting Twist of Fate, Hardy sealed the deal with a top rope leg drop through a table.

Kelani Jordan def. Léi Yǐng Lee – NEW Knockouts World Champion
With Indi Hartwell officiating, Jordan and Lee put on a hard-fought contest. A mid-match ref bump almost cost Jordan, but she rallied back and hit One of a King to capture her first Knockouts World Championship. Post-match, Ash By Elegance and Léi Yǐng Lee showed respect as TNA President Carlos Silva presented Jordan with the title.

Frankie Kazarian def. Steve Maclin – NEW TNA International Champion
Maclin had Kazarian on the ropes until AAA’s El Mesias reappeared to confront him. The distraction gave Kaz the opening he needed, and he hit the Slingshot Cutter to capture the International Championship.

Leon Slater def. Myron Reed – X-Division Championship
The main event lived up to the X-Division’s reputation. Both men traded highlight-reel offense, but Slater survived Reed’s 450 splash and nailed the Swanton 450 to retain.

After the bell, NXT’s Je’Von Evans appeared on screen to challenge Slater for the title at Bound For Glory, officially announced by Santino Marella.

Masha Slamovich Breaks Silence on Abuse Allegations, Issues Public Statement

TNA star Masha Slamovich has publicly addressed recent domestic abuse allegations stemming from her past relationship with fellow wrestler AKIRA.

The situation unfolded on Sept. 23, when a friend of AKIRA shared screenshots of messages and additional archived material online, presenting them as evidence of physical, emotional, and mental abuse during the pair’s relationship.

The fallout was swift. TNA Wrestling announced they were investigating the matter and removed Slamovich from promotional material for a scheduled Knockouts Championship bout against Ash By Elegance at Victory Road. Multiple independent promotions have also taken her off upcoming cards.

On Thursday night, Slamovich released what she described as her “only statement” regarding the accusations. In it, she acknowledged that her relationship with AKIRA had been “toxic and mutually destructive,” while taking responsibility for her actions and admitting shame over how things unfolded.

“I take responsibility for my actions and I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of the role I played in our relationship,” Slamovich wrote, adding that she has since sought professional help to learn healthier ways of managing conflict.

She closed by apologizing to AKIRA and others she feels she let down, expressing hope that her former partner will find healing.

At just 27 years old, Slamovich has been one of the standout performers in TNA’s Knockouts Division over the past two years, capturing the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship alongside Killer Kelly and competing in high-profile singles matches. However, this controversy has put her future with TNA—and on the independent scene—in serious question as the wrestling world awaits further updates.

The Beautiful People Announced For TNA Hall of Fame Class Of 2025

TNA Wrestling is giving some long-overdue flowers to one of its most iconic factions. Angelina Love and Velvet Sky — best known together as The Beautiful People — have officially been announced for the 2025 TNA Hall of Fame. The duo will join Mickie James in this year’s class of inductees.

The reveal came via TNA’s X page, where company president Carlos Silva surprised Love and Sky with the news during an interview conducted by Tommy Dreamer. Both women were caught off guard by the announcement, with emotions quickly taking over. Sky, fighting back tears, said the honor “meant the world” to them.

Love and Sky first hit the TNA scene in 2007, initially working as a tag team before turning heel and introducing fans to The Beautiful People. The faction went on to become one of the most recognizable and talked-about groups in Knockouts history, with members like Madison Rayne, Lacey Von Erich, and even Billy Gunn (as “Cute Kip”) rotating in and out over the years. Still, it was Love and Sky who remained the heart and soul of the act.

The group originally split in 2011 but has reunited multiple times since, with their name and legacy continuing to hold weight in women’s wrestling.

Their official induction will go down October 12 at Bound For Glory in Lowell, Massachusetts. TNA has yet to confirm whether more names will be added to the 2025 Hall of Fame class, though the company has traditionally kept inductions small — sometimes even honoring just one person per year. Last year saw Rhyno and late TNA co-founder Bob Ryder take their place in the Hall.

With Mickie James, Angelina Love, and Velvet Sky all locked in, this year’s ceremony is shaping up to be one of the most impactful in TNA Hall of Fame history.

TNA Star Masha Slamovich Accused Of Domestic Violence

TNA star Masha Slamovich, known for her smash-mouth style and breakout performances in recent years, has found herself in the headlines for reasons outside the ring. The Knockouts standout is facing troubling allegations from her former partner, independent wrestler AKIRA, who claims Slamovich was physically abusive during their relationship.

The situation unfolded when AKIRA’s manager posted screenshots and photos online, allegedly documenting incidents of domestic violence. The material included text conversations between the two wrestlers along with images of injuries — such as facial bruising, split lips, and marks on AKIRA’s hands.

One exchange allegedly shows AKIRA confronting Slamovich, writing: “You hit me. You’re wrong.” The reply, attributed to Slamovich’s number, read: “You cursed at me — that’s why you got hit.”

The messages paint a picture of a toxic and volatile relationship, with Slamovich allegedly venting frustrations over her career struggles and AKIRA expressing concern about her behavior. AKIRA’s manager further questioned Slamovich’s place in wrestling’s spotlight, calling out her recent accolades while these accusations hang over her.

This comes at a pivotal moment in Slamovich’s career. After winning the Knockouts World Championship from Jordynne Grace at Bound for Glory 2024, Slamovich dropped the belt to Jacy Jayne at Slammiversary 2025. She’s now booked to challenge Ash by Elegance for the title at Victory Road this Friday, September 26.

As of now, Slamovich has not released a statement regarding the allegations. It remains to be seen how TNA — or the wrestling world at large — will respond as the story continues to develop.

Mr. Anderson Makes TNA Return After Nearly a Decade

It’s been nine long years since fans last saw Ken Anderson inside a TNA ring, but the former two-time World Champion finally made his return this week—and it didn’t exactly go as planned.

Anderson appeared as a guest on Frankie Kazarian’s in-ring talk segment in Minneapolis, with friends and family in attendance for the homecoming. What started as a respectful sit-down quickly turned into a verbal sparring match.

Kazarian, who has recently set his sights on Steve Maclin’s TNA International Championship, used the opportunity to bring up Maclin’s military background. With Anderson having served in the U.S. Army Reserve, Kaz sought his opinion—though his questioning quickly veered into insults. Kazarian belittled Anderson’s service, even questioning his character, before taking personal shots about his family.

The verbal jabs were too much for Anderson, who finally stood up for himself by grabbing Kaz’s wrist to shut him down. But before the confrontation could escalate further, Jake Something blindsided Anderson. The ambush revealed Kazarian had recruited Jake as his latest protégé after tensions between the two men seemed to flare just last week.

Luckily for Anderson, Steve Maclin hit the ring to even the odds and chase off Kaz and Jake.

Now, the stage is set: Anderson will officially return to action next week, teaming with Maclin against Kazarian and Jake Something in tag team action.

Nine years away, and Mr. Anderson is already back in the thick of TNA drama—exactly where fans expected him to be.

TNA’s Joe Hendry Reportedly Set for Full-Time WWE Move in 2026

It looks like Joe Hendry’s WWE run is only just beginning.

The former TNA World Champion made another splash this week at NXT: Homecoming, where he shared the screen with Bobby Roode, Charlie Dempsey, and Wren Sinclair. Hendry’s knack for stealing the spotlight has quickly turned him into the face of the ongoing WWE–TNA working relationship.

Since showing up at multiple WWE events, including WrestleMania 41, Hendry has become a fan favorite crossover attraction. But according to a new report from Jon Alba, the crossover may not be temporary—Hendry is expected to transition into a full-time WWE role by early 2026.

For now, Hendry technically remains under contract with TNA. TNA President Carlos Silva recently confirmed that, but the numbers tell a different story. Out of Hendry’s last eight matches, only one has been inside a TNA ring, while the rest of his focus has clearly shifted toward WWE programming.

WWE and TNA are reportedly coordinating his appearances closely as part of their partnership, but all signs point to Hendry becoming an exclusive WWE Superstar in the near future.

Hendry has long been praised for his charisma, unique presentation, and ability to connect with crowds—qualities that WWE has been eager to spotlight in NXT. If this move happens as expected, Hendry could be the first big crossover success story of the WWE–TNA partnership.
