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.

Matt Riddle Makes Surprise TNA Debut at Turning Point

In a surprising turn of events, TNA fans were treated to an unexpected debut last night at Turning Point. Scheduled to compete in a six-man tag team match alongside Zachary Wentz and KUSHIDA, former X-Division Champion Trey Miguel was pulled from the card due to travel issues. However, as the old saying goes, “the show must go on.” Stepping in to fill the void was none other than the “King of Bros” himself, Matt Riddle.

This marked Riddle’s first appearance in TNA, and he made an immediate impact teaming up with Wentz and KUSHIDA to take on the formidable trio of TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Matt and Jeff Hardy) and Ace Austin. While Riddle and his team worked well together, they ultimately fell short against the dominant champions, who secured the win.

A Star-Studded Career Continues to Expand

Riddle’s arrival in TNA adds another chapter to what has been an exciting career since his departure from WWE last year. Currently a major player in MLW, Riddle has been riding a wave of momentum, establishing himself as one of the company’s top stars. At Battle RIOT VI this past June, he became the number one contender for the MLW World Championship, earning the right to face reigning champion Satoshi Kojima at Kings of Colosseum on January 11. This high-stakes match will be Riddle’s second attempt to claim the prestigious title, having previously fallen short to Swerve Strickland in the 2018 Road to the World Championship finals.

Beyond MLW, Riddle’s wrestling résumé continues to impress. Earlier this year, he claimed the NJPW World Television Championship in a hard-fought battle against Hiroshi Tanahashi, holding the title for an impressive 49 days. He’s also made appearances in AAA and a host of independent promotions, showcasing his versatility and undeniable charisma.

What’s Next for Riddle in TNA?

Riddle’s TNA debut raises intriguing questions about his future with the company. Will this be a one-off appearance, or does it hint at a larger role in TNA’s plans moving forward? With his star power and impressive in-ring abilities, Riddle could become a valuable addition to the roster if he chooses to explore this new avenue.

As for now, all eyes remain on his upcoming MLW World Championship match, but fans won’t soon forget his explosive debut at Turning Point. Could this be the beginning of another wrestling chapter for the “King of Bros”? Only time will tell.

The person who gets pinned must wear the turkey suit or else get fired. Hectic six-way action. Myers was poised for victory on Skyler, but Hendry intercepted Myers for a Standing Ovation slam to win. Myers refused to wear the turkey suit, so the babyfaces beat him up with a Gore from Rhino, an Attitude Adjustment from Hendry, and a second Gore from Rhino. Hendry and Young dressed Myers in the turkey suit.

X-Division Championship: Moose defeated Laredo Kid to retain the title. Power versus speed matchup. Moose dominated the pace with Alisha Edwards taking cheap shots from the outside. Laredo hit crafty counters and rallied with high-flying. He hit his version of the Spanish Fly finisher, but the champ kicked out. Moose got his knees up to block a 450 splash. Moose was done playing. Two spears earned the win.

No DQ: Steve Maclin defeated Josh Alexander. The Northern Armory were banned from the building. Plunder was aplenty with chairs, tables, trashcans, and a door. Alexander targeted the leg with an ankle lock. Maclin pushed through the pain to rally for a Busaiku Knee into a chair. When Maclin took flight for a headbutt, Alexander threw the chair at him midair. Alexander picked up his opponent for a torture rack bomb over the ropes crashing through a table outside. Back inside the ring, Maclin escaped an ankle lock to send Alexander head first into a trashcan. Maclin connected on three consecutive spears to Alexander in the Tree of Woe. KIA double underhook DDT to finish. 1, 2, Maclin pulled Alexander up to dish out more punishment. Mr. Mayhem emptied out a sack of bullet shell casings. He wasted too much time, and Alexander struck with a low-blow kick. Fisticuffs carried into the corner.

Slamovich crushed a big knee strike and seized the moment for a powerbomb and a package piledriver to win.

TNA World Championship: Nic Nemeth defeated Eddie Edwards to retain the title. Alisha Edwards was caught interfering, so the referee ejected her. Alisha came back later to hit Nemeth with the title belt. Nemeth kicked out on the pin. Boston Knee Party from Eddie, and Nemeth kicked out again. The champ hit the Danger Zone finisher, and the challenge kicked out. Brian Myers ran in wearing the turkey suit. He was plotting to punch Nemeth with a ring (jewelry). That’s when JBL appeared for a Clothesline From Hell on Myers. JBL exited. Nemeth and Edwards had one last duel. Nemeth hit a superkick and the Danger Zone to win.
