TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! tonight at 9/8c on AMC.
This week’s episode sees the Hardys with “full creative control” in a celebration of their 35 year careers.
Shayna Baszler is heading to TNA Wrestling, with the former WWE star set to make her promotional debut at this weekend’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view. Baszler will reunite with Zoey Serrano to challenge for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships after the pair’s reunion was arranged on Thursday Night Impact.
The unexpected partnership came together after Serrano was confronted by reigning champions Allie and Kiera Hogan. The champions challenged Serrano to find a partner for a tag team match at Bound For Glory, putting the former WWE star in search of someone who could help her capture the gold.
Serrano didn’t have to look far, reaching out to her former teammate Baszler during a video call and asking her to join forces for the championship opportunity.
During the call, Serrano got straight to the point, explaining that Hogan and Allie had challenged her to a match for the Knockouts Tag Team Championships.
She then asked Baszler to team with her, even jokingly offering to pay her for the favor.
Baszler wasn’t interested in taking money from her former teammate. Instead, she wanted to know when and where the match would take place, quickly agreeing to join Serrano for the title opportunity.
The conversation also highlighted the pair’s shared taste for an aggressive approach to wrestling. The two joked about dividing up the limbs they would break during the match, with Serrano suggesting they split the damage between them.
It was a brief but entertaining exchange that established their reunion ahead of one of TNA’s biggest events of the year.
Although Baszler’s arrival in TNA may come as a surprise to some fans, she and Serrano are already familiar with working together.
The two recently teamed up at a RevPro event in England in July, where they picked up a victory over Myla Grace and Kanji.
Their history also stretches back to their time in WWE, when they were members of the Pure Fusion Collective faction alongside Sonya Deville.
Interestingly, Deville is also currently working with TNA, creating another connection between the promotion and the group’s former WWE members.
Baszler brings considerable experience to the partnership, having established herself as one of WWE’s most physically imposing performers. Her background in mixed martial arts and submission wrestling could make her a particularly dangerous addition to the Knockouts tag team division.
Baszler’s debut immediately puts her in a championship match, giving her the chance to make a significant impact in TNA from the outset.
However, standing across the ring will be Hogan and Allie, who will be looking to protect their status as Knockouts World Tag Team Champions at Bound For Glory.
The reunited team of Baszler and Serrano will have to turn their familiarity into effective teamwork if they want to leave the event with the championships.
Baszler’s hard-hitting style and submission expertise could complement Serrano’s approach, making the duo an intriguing challenge for the reigning champions.
With Bound For Glory approaching, the biggest question is whether Baszler’s first appearance in TNA will end with championship gold or whether Hogan and Allie can spoil the reunion.
Either way, Baszler’s arrival adds another notable name to TNA’s women’s division, while her connection to Serrano gives the championship match an added layer of history.

TNA Wrestling’s mysterious Syx faction may not be finished growing.
While the group currently consists of Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw, recent comments from Matt Hardy suggest that additional members could eventually be added as the storyline continues to unfold.
Speaking on a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Hardy discussed the arrival of Sawyer and Shaw in TNA following their time in WWE. He praised both performers for bringing name recognition and credibility to the promotion while also carrying forward elements of the supernatural presentation that made Bray Wyatt’s creative projects so memorable.
Hardy was particularly complimentary of Sawyer, describing him as a versatile performer capable of excelling in multiple wrestling styles.
The conversation eventually shifted to speculation about whether Bo Dallas could join the faction in the future. While Hardy did not confirm any plans involving Dallas, he hinted that the group’s name itself may provide a clue about where the angle is heading.
Hardy pointed out that the faction is called “Syx,” questioning why TNA would choose that name if the intention was only to feature two members rather than six.
The comment has fueled speculation that TNA could be planning to expand the group in the months ahead. Whether that includes Dallas or other former members associated with WWE’s Wyatt Sicks remains unclear, as Hardy stopped short of naming any potential additions.
For now, Syx remains one of TNA’s most intriguing developing storylines. However, Hardy’s remarks suggest the current lineup may only be the beginning, with more members potentially waiting in the wings as the faction evolves.

Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw, known to WWE fans as Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, made their arrival on last night’s live episode of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC.
The reveal came after several weeks of mystery attacks backstage, including an assault on Jeff Hardy. Determined to uncover who was responsible, Matt Hardy continued investigating the incidents. Last week’s episode established that two individuals were behind the attacks, setting the stage for this week’s confrontation.
With Jeff Hardy back by his side, The Hardys came to the ring and called out the attackers. Moments later, the arena lights flickered and a fight broke out. When the lights came back on, two masked men were standing over Matt and Jeff.
The pair then removed their masks and were revealed to be Sawyer and Shaw.
Adding to the debut, the Titantron displayed the name “Syx,” seemingly introducing a new identity for the duo while also nodding to their time as members of the Wyatt Sicks faction in WWE.
Shaw also debuted a different appearance, sporting short hair and a mustache reminiscent of his pre-Wyatt Sicks look.
The arrival marks a return to familiar territory for Shaw, who previously competed in TNA under the Samuel Shaw name. For Sawyer, however, the appearance represents his first run with the promotion.
With the mystery attackers now revealed, TNA has added another notable team to its roster and placed them immediately in the orbit of The Hardys.
