TNA Final Resolution 2025 Results

TNA closed out the year with a stacked night of action mixing interpromotional warfare, emotional farewells, and plenty of championship drama. Here’s everything that went down at Final Resolution 2025.

Countdown to Final Resolution

Cedric Alexander Tops Eric Young in First-Time Clash

The pre-show opened with Cedric Alexander and Eric Young throwing down for the first time ever. Young’s flying elbow wasn’t enough to seal it, and Alexander answered with a crisp Brainbuster to score the win.

Winner: Cedric Alexander

Backstage, Gia Miller caught up with Leon Slater, who seemed confident ahead of his X-Division defense against A.J. Francis. His BDE allies backed him up with plenty of bravado.

The System Wins Tune-Up Six-Man Match

Moose, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers issued an open challenge as they evaluate potential replacements for JDC, who retires next month.
C.W. Anderson tried to turn the tide by distracting Myers, giving Bear Bronson a brief power surge. But Moose and Edwards regrouped, and The System finished off Brock Anderson with their System Overload triple-team.

Winners: The System (Moose, Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers)

Final Resolution: Main Card

Mike Santana Scores Revenge on NXT’s Charlie Dempsey

Santana jumped Dempsey before the bell, fueled by pure payback. Despite Dempsey’s slick counters — including a nasty bridging German — Santana powered through, hit the Three Amigos in tribute to Eddie Guerrero, and sealed the win with Spin the Block.

Winner: Mike Santana

Kazarian, meanwhile, promised Gia Miller he would retain the TNA World Championship later in the night.

The IInspiration Retain After Against Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard, Chaos From The Elegance Brand

Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard, backed by NXT rep Robert Stone, challenged the Knockouts Tag Champs. Stone constantly meddled, and the challengers targeted Jessie’s knee. Once Cassie tagged in, the champs rallied — even as The Elegance Brand showed up to stir trouble. In the closing scramble, The IInspiration hit The IIdolizer on Crawford to hold onto the belts.

Winners & Still Champions: The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay)

Backstage, Santino Marella pressed NXT liaison Arianna Grace for answers in the ongoing “NXT Outlaw” investigation.

Matt Cardona Outlasts Mance Warner in a Wreckage-Filled Street Fight

Cardona and Warner’s bad blood boiled over immediately. Steph De Lander helped her man early with a trash can shot and later blinded Cardona with mystery spray, but chaos went both ways — Warner suplexed him on the steel ramp and hit a DDT through a door.

Cardona swung momentum back with an Unpretty-her into a chair and even dropped Warner onto a pile of his own action figures. After Warner whiffed on a screwdriver attack, Cardona blasted him with Radio Silence through another door to end it.

Winner: Matt Cardona

Stacks Steals the TNA International Title With Lexis King’s Help

Steve Maclin defended against NXT’s Stacks, with Lexis King on the outside looking to tip the scales. King interfered repeatedly, only for Maclin to knock him around and hit a SCUD to wipe out both men.

Stacks survived a Jar-headbutt, then used the ref being out of position to whack Maclin with King’s cane. That opened the door for a shocking upset.

Winner & NEW International Champion: Stacks (with Lexis King)

Léi Yǐng Lee Retains in All-Angel Warriors Clash With Xia Brookside

The Knockouts World Title match turned into a fast, fluid chess match between friends. Brookside connected with a tornado DDT and nearly tapped the champ with an Octopus hold. Lee answered with a huge superplex, then finished with a spinning heel kick into the swinging facebuster.

Winner & Still Champion: Léi Yǐng Lee

Lee and Brookside embraced afterward — until Dani Luna blindsided both. Indi Hartwell hit the ring to even the odds as security swarmed.

The Rascalz Win Faction Warfare Against Order 4

The Rascalz (Reed, Wentz, Miguel & Xavier) tore into Order 4 in an eight-man brawl full of wild spots and cinematic insanity. Mustafa Ali bailed on his crew mid-match — helped by the fact Elijah literally dragged him out of the arena tied to a horse.

With the numbers advantage, the Rascalz unleashed their trademark rapid-fire offense and pinned John Skyler after a barrage of aerial attacks.

Winners: The Rascalz

The Hardys Retain Against NXT’s Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe , The Righteous Confront The Hardys

Jeff and Matt Hardy defended the TNA Tag Titles against NXT’s Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe. The challengers jumped them before the bell, but once Jeff created space, Matt fired off Side Effects on both opponents. A late splash from Tyson nearly stole it, but Jeff sealed the deal with the Swanton Bomb.

Winners & Still Champions: The Hardys

The celebration didn’t last — the lights went out, and The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch) appeared to stare the champions down.

Eric Young, still seething from earlier, vowed to purge TNA of “disease.”

Leon Slater Retains the X-Division Title After Swann Turns on Francis

A.J. Francis used his size early to flatten Slater, even cracking him mid-handspring. Slater fought back with a Blue Thunder Bomb and his signature Big Play dive over the ring post — this time filming it with a GoPro.

Francis kept trying to use weapons, but BDE ran interference. In a twist, Rich Swann refused to join Francis’ cheating and instead clocked him with the X-Division Title. Slater seized the moment and hit the beautiful Swanton 450 to keep the belt.

Winner & Still X-Division Champion: Leon Slater

A Dog Collar match between Dani Luna and Indi Hartwell was later set for Thursday’s iMPACT!

Frankie Kazarian Makes JDC Pass Out to Retain the World Title

In what may be JDC’s last world title shot before retirement, the veteran pushed Kazarian to the brink. JDC rattled the champ with a dive to the floor and nearly ended it with the Air Raid Crash — but the referee had just been knocked out.

Kazarian survived a furious comeback and landed his slingshot leg drop, but even that wasn’t enough. He finally trapped JDC in the Chicken Wing, forcing him to pass out.

Winner & Still TNA World Champion: Frankie Kazarian

Post-match, all hell broke loose. The NXT outlaws stormed the ring to attack The System. Lexis King tried to burn the TNA logo before Steve Maclin, Mike Santana and The Hardys ran in to stop the arson attempt. Amid the chaos, Stacks stunned everyone by knocking out his own father-in-law, Santino Marella.

Backstage Details On Tessa Blanchard’s TNA Return

TNA Wrestling delivered a shocking twist at Final Resolution 2024 as Tessa Blanchard made her highly polarizing return to the company. Blanchard, whose exit in 2020 was riddled with controversy, re-emerged to attack Jordynne Grace, setting the stage for what appears to be a heated new rivalry.

During Grace’s match against Rosemary, a masked figure—draped in a ski mask and coat—interfered, blindsiding the former Knockouts Champion. The intruder revealed herself after delivering a devastating Hammerlock DDT, pulling back the mask to confirm her identity as none other than Tessa Blanchard. The crowd reacted with a mix of shock and audible disapproval as Blanchard posed confidently, signaling her intent to reclaim her spot in TNA.

Blanchard’s history with TNA Wrestling is both groundbreaking and controversial. In 2020, she made history by becoming the first woman to win the TNA World Championship after defeating Sami Callihan at Hard to Kill. However, her departure later that year turned sour after reports surfaced that she refused to return the championship belt and allegedly demanded more money to vacate the title. Compounding the controversy, allegations of bullying and racial misconduct—specifically involving wrestler La Rosa Negra—further stained her legacy.

Blanchard’s return was reportedly kept under wraps from much of the TNA roster and staff, a move likely made to avoid leaks and backlash. According to Fightful Select, sources within TNA, WWE, and AEW were in disbelief at the decision to bring Blanchard back, given her turbulent past. However, it seems TNA higher-ups are banking on her ability to move forward, with reports suggesting she is set to be on her “best behavior” for this new run.

Interestingly, Jordynne Grace has been at the center of the situation, both as Blanchard’s first target and as part of TNA’s larger plans. With Grace rumored to be leaving the company soon—alongside Josh Alexander and “Speedball” Mike Bailey—Blanchard’s return appears to be a strategic move to fill a looming void in TNA’s roster.

Not everyone in the locker room is thrilled about the decision. Grace, in particular, has reportedly pushed back against the idea of working with Blanchard, and it remains to be seen how the rest of the TNA roster will respond. Still, there are some within the company who remain friends with Blanchard and believe her fresh start could be successful if handled correctly.

The decision to bring Blanchard back was not influenced by new Anthem Sports President Carlos Silva, who recently stepped into the role. Instead, the move reportedly came from an unnamed Anthem higher-up, signaling that Blanchard’s return has been in the works for some time.

With her reintroduction as a heel, it’s clear TNA is leaning into Blanchard’s divisive reputation to fuel her character. The question now is whether fans—and the locker room—will embrace this second chapter for one of the most controversial figures in modern wrestling.

During a post-attack comment, she reminded the fans “who the company was built upon.”

Eddie Edwards Clashes With Fan At TNA Final Resolution 2024

TNA Final Resolution 2024 delivered more than just in-ring action this past Friday night, as Eddie Edwards became the center of controversy after a heated altercation with a fan at ringside.

Competing alongside Brian Myers as part of The System, Edwards faced off against the iconic duo of Matt and Jeff Hardy in a high-stakes Tables Match for the TNA Tag Team Championships. However, the spotlight briefly shifted from the action to a surprising moment involving a fan in the front row.

During the match, Edwards began jawing with the fan, which quickly escalated when the spectator decided to cross the line and slap the former TNA World Champion. Although the slap seemed more playful than hostile, Edwards didn’t take it lightly. In response, Edwards delivered a stiff slap of his own, sending a clear message, before forcefully shoving the fan back into their seat.

The TNA officials were quick to de-escalate the situation, escorting the fan from the ringside area. Edwards, unfazed by the chaos, stared directly into the camera with a smirk, playfully taunting, “I’m still having fun.”

As the dust settled on the confrontation, the match reached its climactic conclusion. Jeff Hardy, known for his death-defying style, took to the heights of the audience perch and launched himself onto Edwards, who was sprawled across a table below, sealing the victory for the Hardys in dramatic fashion.

While the Tables Match delivered everything fans could hope for — high stakes, big spots, and wild energy — it’s Edwards’ clash with the fan that left the wrestling world buzzing.

PWInsider reports that the incident was not planned and wasn’t a plant in the crowd.

The report also notes that after being ejected from Center Stage, the individual was handed off to the Atlanta Police Department. It’s unknown if any charges were filed.

You can check out a video of the incident here at this link.

TNA Final Resolution 12/13/2024 (Results) – Return Of Tessa Blanchard

Pre-Show Results

  • Johnny Dango Curtis def. Leon Slater
    Johnny Dango Curtis kept Leon Slater grounded early with some old-school grinding offense, aiming to neutralize the high flyer. Slater eventually found his rhythm, hitting some impressive dives, but his attempt at a swanton 450 missed the mark. Seizing the moment, Dango rolled up Slater with his feet on the ropes for the underhanded victory.
  • Jake Something Goes Solo
    It was announced that Alexander Hammerstone was injured and unable to compete in the tag match. Jake Something brushed off concerns about finding a new partner, boldly declaring he’d fight on his own.
  • Frankie Kazarian def. Jonathan Gresham
    Jonathan Gresham’s technical prowess gave him control for much of the match, but Frankie Kazarian had tricks up his sleeve. After a slingshot cutter and a failed attempt to cheat with his feet on the ropes, Kaz found another way—thumbing Gresham in the eye before locking in a chickenwing submission. Gresham had no choice but to tap.

Final Resolution Results

  • X-Division Championship: Moose (c) def. Kushida
    Moose dominated early, slamming Kushida into steel steps and powerbombing him onto the apron, leaving him motionless. As the referee’s count neared 10, Moose arrogantly stopped the count to inflict more punishment. However, Kushida dodged Moose’s charging attack, sending the champ crashing into the steps. Kushida targeted Moose’s left arm, expertly wearing him down with precision submissions. Despite the pain, Moose powered through with one arm, eventually landing a dropkick to intercept Kushida’s handspring elbow and finishing with a devastating Spear to retain the title.
  • The Rascalz def. Sami Callihan & PCO and Jake Something
    With Hammerstone out, Jake Something went solo in this three-way tag bout. Jake showcased his resilience, powerbombing everyone in sight. But in the end, the Rascalz’s speed gave them the edge. Zachary Wentz hit a flying stomp on Jake, followed by Trey Miguel securing the pinfall.

Mystery Continues
Post-match, Sami Callihan showed respect to the Rascalz, but the eerie “23 mystery” video played again, teasing answers but delivering none. Callihan grew visibly agitated, accusing the Rascalz of being behind the cryptic messages.

  • Ace Austin def. Trent Seven
    Trent Seven disrespected Ace Austin by tearing up a Chris Bey t-shirt after a powerbomb. That lit a fire under Austin, who rallied back. Seven nearly had it won after a Burning Hammer on the apron and a piledriver, but Ace shocked everyone by kicking out. Channeling Bey’s spirit, Ace hit the Art of Finesse and followed up with The Fold to secure the win.
  • Jordynne Grace vs. Rosemary Ends in Chaos
    Jordynne Grace appeared to have the upper hand, nearly sealing the victory with a musclebuster. Just as the referee counted, someone yanked him out of the ring.

Tessa Blanchard Returns
The masked attacker revealed herself as Tessa Blanchard, making her presence felt with a hammerlock DDT on Grace. Backstage, Tessa declared her intentions: she’s back to reclaim what’s hers.

Jordynne Grace responded about the attack from Tess Blanchard later in a backstage interview.

  • #1 Contender Match: Joe Hendry def. Josh Alexander, Mike Santana, and Steve Maclin
    In a chaotic four-way clash, Josh Alexander resorted to underhanded tactics, zip-tying Santana to the barricade and landing a low blow on Steve Maclin. Before Alexander could seal the win with the C4 Piledriver, Joe Hendry intervened, hoisting Alexander up for the Standing Ovation slam to claim the victory. Hendry now has a world title shot at Genesis on January 19.
  • Knockouts Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) def. Tasha Steelz (Falls Count Anywhere)
    With Alisha Edwards ejected from ringside, Masha Slamovich and Tasha Steelz brawled all over the arena. The final moments unfolded on the entrance ramp, where Slamovich countered a cutter, sent Steelz into the ropes, and delivered a vicious knee strike. She followed up with a piledriver on the ramp for the decisive win.
  • TNA World Tag Team Championship: The Hardys (c) def. Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards (Tables Match)
    In a brutal tables match, both members of the opposing team had to be put through tables to win. Myers went first after a double-team crucifix slam, but Matt Hardy evened the score with a Twist of Fate on Myers through a table. The action escalated into the stands, where Jeff Hardy delivered the highlight of the night—a Swanton Bomb off the upper deck to drive Eddie Edwards through a table for the win.
  • TNA World Championship: Nic Nemeth (c) def. “Top Dolla” AJ Francis
    Nic Nemeth started fast, but KC Navarro’s interference allowed AJ Francis to take control. Navarro was eventually ejected, but Francis continued his dominance. On a chokeslam attempt, Nemeth countered mid-air into a Fameasser, then sealed the deal with a superkick and The Danger Zone to retain the title.

Post-Match Showdown
After the match, Navarro returned to attack Nemeth, with Francis ready to deliver more punishment. Joe Hendry ran in for the save, clearing the ring. Tensions escalated as both Hendry and Nemeth grabbed the world title simultaneously, engaging in a heated tug-of-war and intense trash talk to close the show.
