TNA Bound For Glory
Lowell, Massachusetts, at Tsongas Center
Aired live on October 12, 2025, on pay-per-view
Bound For Glory Pre-show match result: “The IInspiration” Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay beat Heather by Elegance and M by Elegance to retain the Knockouts Tag Team Titles…
Boston Celtics radio voice Sean Grande narrated a BFG video package to open the show… Tom Hannifan and Matt Rehwoldt were on commentary, and McKenzie Mitchell was the ring announcer. McKenzie introduced the U.S. Marines Color Guard, and then the national anthem played…
Entrances for the opening match took place. Steve Maclin came out first and had a moment with his mother, who was in the crowd. Frankie Kazarian’s entrance followed. Maclin hit Kazarian with a suicide dive.
1. Frankie Kazarian vs. Steve Maclin for the TNA International Championship. Maclin rolled Kazarian inside the ring. The referee rewarded him for the pre-match attack by immediately calling for the opening bell. Kazarian came back and dove over the top rope and hit a sunset bomb that pulled Maclin from the apron to the floor.
Kazarian ran Maclin into the ring steps. Kazarian taunted Maclin’s mother, who stood up and jawed at him. Maclin’s mom gave Kazarian the double birds, and then Maclin hit Kazarian and rolled him back inside the ring. Maclin tied up Kazarian in a tree of woe and charged him, but Kazarian sat up. Maclin put him in a chicken wing. Kazarian rolled Maclin into a pin and tried to hold the ropes for leverage, but the referee caught him.
Maclin came back and applied a Boston Crab, which the broadcast team found appropriate with the show being held in Massachusetts. Kazarian paid tribute to AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels with a couple of moves that led to a near fall. Kazarian set up for Fade to Black from the middle rope, but Maclin cut him off and bit him before shoving him to the mat. Maclin played to the crowd and went for a headbutt that Kazarian avoided. Kazarian hit a slingshot cutter for another near fall.
Moments later, Maclin got Kazarian in the tree of woe and hit the crosshairs spear. Maclin followed up with the KOA and scored the clean pin.
Steve Maclin defeated Frankie Kazarian to win the TNA International Championship.
After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva entered the ring and presented the belt to Maclin. Members of the U.S. Marines were shown in the crowd while Maclin celebrated his win. Maclin also kissed his mother on the cheek at ringside. He returned to the ring and continued his celebration…
Powell’s POV: A solid opening match that played to a receptive crowd. I enjoy the work of both wrestlers, but the title belt still doesn’t feel important. If nothing else, it’s an upgrade over the TNA Digital Media Championship.
Hannifan and Rehwoldt checked in from their broadcast table and then introduced the French broadcast team that also had a table at ringside. Hannifan and Rehwoldt ran through the lineup…
BFG host Gabby LaSpisa stood backstage and introduced TNA Champion Trick Williams, who was accompanied by his lawyer. Trick and the lawyer said Trick wears the TNA title belt upside down because he turned the company upside down. Trick told Mike Santana that TNA doesn’t belong to the man with the best story. He said it belongs to the man who is best for business…
Indi Hartwell was shown lacing up her boots in a backstage area, and then TNA Knockouts Champion Kelani Jordan was shown warming up…
A video package set up the Tessa Blanchard vs. Gia Miller match, and then the entrances took place. Rehwoldt said Miller is the sweetest person, but he’s heard her talk about people who have wronged her, and they are instantly burned…
2. Tessa Blanchard (w/Victoria Crawford) vs. Gia Miller (w/Jody Threat). Blanchard was cocky. Miller caught her in an early pin for a near fall. Blanchard got angry and kicked Miller’s head while it was on the ring steps. Blanchard followed up by suplexing Miller onto the bottom half of the ring steps.
The referee caught Crawford getting physical with Miller and ejected her. Crawford put up a fuss. Security guards came out and surrounded her. Threat went up top and performed a Swanton onto Crawford and the poor security guards. Threat chased Crawford to the back.
In the ring, Miller performed a crossbody block on Blanchard and got a two count. Blanchard mounted Miller in the corner and threw punches at her. Blanchard removed the turnbuckle cover and pressed Miller onto the turnbuckle. Miller put her arms around Blanchard and headbutted her. Miller held up Blanchard in powerbomb position. Blanchard hit Miller with a roll of quarters while the referee was putting the cover back on the exposed turnbuckle. Blanchard covered Miller for the three count…
Tessa Blanchard defeated Gia Miller in 6:00.
Powell’s POV: The live crowd just didn’t get behind Miller in the way that you’d hope fans would rally behind a heavy underdog while she faced a dominant heel. We’ve seen variations of this finish in all major promotions, and it always makes me wonder why they all choose to make their referees look incompetent. I wonder if this will lead to Miller and Threat vs. Blanchard and Crawford.
Hannifan read through the sponsored injury report. Matt Hardy is cleared to compete, but he’s not 100 percent due to a recent attack. Joe Hendry is questionable after his match with Eric Young, while Young is medically cleared. Trick Williams and Mike Santana were evaluated and are fully cleared for the main event…
3. The 20-ish-person Call Your Shot gauntlet match for a shot at any TNA championship within the next year. The first entrant was Lei Ying Lee, and the second entrant was Mara Sade. They shook hands before locking up.
The No. 3 entrant was Ryan Nemeth, who fought with both women and didn’t fare so well.
The No. 4 entrant was Nic Nemeth, who was cheered by a good portion of the crowd. Sade dropped Nic with a superkick. Lee and Sade tried to eliminate Nic, but Ryan saved him.
The No. 5 entrant was Cedric Alexander, who got the better of the Nemeths.
The No. 6 entrant was Rich Swann.
The No. 7 entrant was AJ Francis, who got heat by eliminating Sade and Lee. Swann hopped into the arms of Francis for a celebration, but Francis chokeslammed him and then eliminated him.
The No. 8 entrant was Travis Williams. Judas Icarus walked out with his partner, and they acted like Williams won a coin toss to enter the match.
The No. 9 entrant was BDE, a social media influencer. Francis tossed BDE over the top rope, but he skinned the cat. BDE hit a cutter on Francis. Nic superkicked BDE.
The No. 10 entrant was “The Rascalz” Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz, and Myron Reed. Yes, really. The broadcast team said Santino Marella ruled earlier in the day that they count as one entrant for some reason. The trio eliminated Francis.
The No. 11 entrant was Dani Luna, who performed German suplexes on Reed and another wrestler. Williams caught Luna with a knee strike.
The No. 12 entrant was Eric Young. Williams set up Young for a piledriver on the apron, but Young hit him with a low blow. Young performed a piledriver on Williams, who fell to the floor and was eliminated.
The No. 13 entrant was Jake Something, who joined Luna in powerbombing Miguel and Reed. Young caught BDE with a punch on the apron that eliminated him from the match.
The No. 14 entrant was Rosemary. Alexander and Miguel were eliminated by someone (unfortunately, rewinding the live feed caused all sorts of problems).
The No. 15 entrant was Home Town Man. He came out wearing a Boston Celtics jersey and was accompanied by a local mascot.
The No. 16 entrant was Zach Clayton. Little Guido came out with Clayton. Luna eliminated Rosemary.
The No. 17 entrant was Jody Threat. She ran to the ring and was clotheslined by Kazarian, who somehow took her spot in the match. TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella came out and confronted Kazarian, who pie-faced him.
The No. 18 entrant was Santino Marella. Yes, his music just happened to play. Kazarian leaned through the ropes and argued with Guido, who was at ringside, until Santino put on the Cobra and hit him with it. Kazarian fell to the floor, but he went through the ropes and was not eliminated. Santino entered the ring cautiously and stood on one foot. The moment he put down his second foot, Nic clotheslined him over the top rope to eliminate him.
The No. 19 entrant was Matt Cardona, who quickly eliminated Clayton. Cardona got Guido in the ring and then tossed him over the top rope even though he wasn’t in the match.
The No. 20 entrant was Mance Warner, who came out with Steph De Lander and “the undead.” Young kicked HTM below the belt to knock him off the apron for his elimination. Cardona knocked Young off the apron to eliminate him. Cardona eliminated Warner.
Cardona was alone in the ring with the Nemeths. Nic accidentally superkicked his brother off the apron. Cardona tossed Nic over the top rope, but he skinned the cat. Cardona ran the ropes, only to have De Lander grab his foot. Warner joined De Lander in pulling Cardona over the top rope to the floor to eliminate him.
Kazarian returned to the ring and joined Nic as the final two. There was a superplex spot that led to a double pin. Santino, who was still at ringside, announced that there were two winners for the first time in history. The fans responded with boos and “bullshit” chants.
Nic Nemeth and Frankie Kazarian were co-winners of the Call Your Shot gauntlet to earn a shot at any TNA championship within the next year.
Powell’s POV: The finish deserved the boos. The CYS gauntlet would be a lot more fun if TNA didn’t get so cutesy with it. It may work for some fans, but the fan reaction to their silly finish suggests that I’m not alone in wishing they would treat this more seriously, especially given the high stakes. My apologies for the delay, but I’m having all sorts of technical issues with this show tonight.
4. Kelani Jordan vs. Indi Hartwell for the TNA Knockouts Championship. Hartwell’s family members were shown in the crowd. Late in the match, Jordan avoided a top rope elbow. Jordan hit the One of a Kind split-legged moonsault and scored the pin.
Kelani Jordan defeated Indi Hartwell to retain the Knockouts Championship.
Silva entered the ring and presented the title belt to Jordan, and then helped Hartwell to her feet. Jordan offered Hartwell a handshake, which Hartwell accepted before leaving the ring. Hartwell’s family consoled her at ringside…
Powell’s POV: Well, covering this match was an absolute shit show to cover from a technical standpoint with buffering and freezing. I won’t throw the typically reliable streamer under the bus by naming it just in case it’s on my end. I’ll have to go with scaled-back coverage unless it gets better.
Backstage, Nic Nemeth complained to his brother that he was supposed to be the only winner of the CYS gauntlet. Frankie Kazarian showed up and bickered with Nic, and threatened to cash in later in the night…
5. “The System” Moose, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, and JDC vs. “Order 4” Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz, Jason Hotch, John Skyler, and Agent Zero in a Hardcore War. After everyone was in the ring, several wrestlers fought on the floor until Agent Zero dove over the top rope onto the pile. Later, Agent Zero took a kendo stick from Alisha and slammed her onto a pile of tacks. Eddie checked on his wife.
Zero fought off JDC and Myers. Moose speared Zero. Eddie checked on Alisha again, but Ali slammed a chair over his back. Alisha poured more tacks on Alisha and then went for a 450 splash, but she moved, and he landed on the tacks. Eddie wrapped barbed wire around his knee and then hit Ali with a Boston Knee Party before pinning him…
“The System” Moose, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, and JDC defeated “Order 4” Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz, Jason Hotch, John Skyler, and Agent Zero in a Hardcore War.
Powell’s POV: What I saw of the match was good, and it lived up to the Hardcore War name. Alisha is a badass. I’m not crazy about Ali taking the loss, but I get it. It would have been foolish to have Zero take the loss, and the other three teammates losing would not have been satisfying. I missed a good portion of the match, but I’ve had a breakthrough (knock on wood), as the buffering issues seem to have stopped. Fingers crossed for smooth sailing the rest of the way.
The broadcast team spoke at their desk, presumably to fill some time while the crew cleaned up the ring. They ran through the “X Factors” for the X Division Title match. Hannifan said it would be the youngest X Division Title match in history. Entrances for the match took place…
Powell’s POV: TNA is using a small entrance area tonight rather than their usual stage, presumably so they could sell more tickets. Earlier today, WrestleTix listed 6,049 tickets distributed for the venue that holds 6,488.
6. Leon Slater vs. Je’Von Evans for the X Division Title. The fans cheered once both men were in the ring, and a “this is awesome” chant broke out as the match started. Both wrestlers were playful during the opening minutes. Evans backed Slater against the ropes and patted his chest three times. Slater responded by shoving him to the mat, and the tone changed. Both men hit dives to the floor.
A short time later, Slater hit a slingshot cutter for a near fall. Hannifan said it was shades of Frankie Kazarian. Slater had Evans on his shoulders while standing on the apron, but Evans slipped free and superkicked him. Slater ended up back inside the ring and went for another slingshot move, but Evans countered with a DDT. Evans removed his t-shirt.
Evans jumped on the second rope and then over the ropes and hit a cutter on the apron. Both men beat the referee’s count. Evans hit a top rope frog splash for a near fall. A “this is awesome” chant broke out. Slater grabbed Evans’s foot to keep him close. Evans broke free and chopped Evans. Both men traded moves, and then Slater dropped him with a kick. Slater fired up and charged Evans, who performed a huracanrana into a pin for a near fall. Evans caught Slater with a kick. Evans went for the OG Cutter, but Evans caught him with a neckbreaker on the way down. The fans applauded while both men were down.
Slater knocked Evans down with a chop and then yelled at him. Slater put his hands behind his back and invited Evans to chop him. Evans hit a cutter and then followed up with the OG Cutter for a great near fall. Evans went to the ropes, but Slater cut him off with a kick. Slater joined Evans on the ropes. Slater threw punches and then shoved Evans off the ropes to the floor, and Slater simultaneously fell to the floor.
Slater hopped on the guardrail for a move, but Evans shoved him to the other side. Evans ran and dove over the guardrail onto Slater. Evans returned to ringside. Slater dove over the guardrail and hit Evans. McKenzie Mitchell announced that the time limit expired. The fans booed, and both wrestlers expressed frustration before returning to the ring. A “let them fight” chant broke out.
Santino Marella walked out to cheers. Santino said they normally have a very strict time limit. However, he said it seemed like the fans wanted five more minutes. Santino called for the bell.
Evans hit Slater with a flying knee for a near fall. Evans went for a springboard cutter, but Slater caught him and got a two count. Slater sent Evans to ringside. Slater dove over the top of the ring post and onto Evans on the floor. Slater rolled Evans back inside the ring and went up top. Slater ran over and jumped onto the ropes and then hit a Spanish Fly. Evans went for the cover, but the lights went out. The fans groaned.
The DarkState entrance took place to boos. Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, Saquon Shugars, and Cutler James entered the ring and attacked both men while the fans booed. DarkState left both men lying. A “f— these guys” chant broke out.
Leon Slater retained the X Division Title when he fought Je’Von Evans to a no-contest in roughly 23:00.
Powell’s POV: Why? This isn’t a random edition of Impact or a TNA+ show. This is the company’s biggest event of the year. That heat wasn’t on DarkState; it was on the company for pulling the rug out from under the fans with a terrible finish to an otherwise sensational big spot match. On the bright side, I guess this means we’ll see a rematch at some point.
Chris Bey made his entrance and spoke from the entrance area. Bey announced the attendance as TNA’s new North American record of 7,794. Bey said the fans wanted history one final time between the Hardys and Team 3D. Bey led the crowd in chanting for tables…
A video package set up the tables match… Hannifan read through “Tag Lines” for the match and noted that the teams first faced off in 1999. He said one of the greatest rivalries in professional wrestling would come to an end…
“Team 3D” Bully Ray and D-Von made their entrance dressed in camouflage and carried tables to the ring. Bully motioned to the back.
Little Spike Dudley came out in his Dudley attire and got a nice pop. Spike gave Bully Ray and D-Von glasses, and then they headed to ringside. D-Von removed his glasses and handed them to one of his family members before hugging him. An ECW chant broke out.
Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy made their entrance to a big pop. They wore the TNA and NXT Tag Team Title belts. They turned around and went to the back for a second and returned with a ladder and a chair. Jeff set up the ladder next to a table that was set up in the entrance aisle, and Matt put the chair in front of the table. Matt and Jeff high-fived fans at ringside before entering the ring…
7. Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy vs. “Team 3D” Bully Ray and D-Von in a tables match for the TNA Tag Team Titles and the NXT Tag Team Titles. McKenzie Mitchell delivered in-ring introductions for the title match. There were two referees. There were holy shit, “this is awesome, Hardys, and Dudleys chants before the teams made contact. Bully sent Jeff to ringside, and then he and D-Von hit 3D on Matt. The fans chanted for tables. Jeff returned and was put down. Bully held his legs open while D-Von stood on the ropes, and they did the “Whassup” bit before D-Von headbutted Jeff in the balls.
Bully led a count, and then the entire building yelled, “Get the tables.” The fans followed up with a “tables” chant. D-Von went to the floor and slid two tables into the ring. Bully set up one of the tables in the middle of the ring. Bully and D-Von hit 3D and put Jeff through the table. The announcers explained that they were halfway there and needed to put Matt through a table to win the match.
A short time later, Matt went through a table when D-Von moved, but it was quickly clarified that it must be an offensive move to count, so the Hardys were still alive. D-Von fought with Jeff into the aisle near the table and ladder that were set up during the entrances. In the ring, Bully tried to whip Matt through a table in the corner, but Matt stopped short. Bully charged Matt, who moved, and Bully crashed through the table, but it didn’t seem to count since Matt avoided him and didn’t directly put him through the table.
D-Von slammed a chair over Jeff’s back and then placed him on one of two tables that were set up below the ladder. D-Von climbed the ladder, but Matt cut him off. Both men dropped from the ladder. The Hardys roughed up D-Von and placed him on the two tables. Rehwoldt said he was getting deja vu as Jeff climbed to the top of the ladder. Rehwoldt said Jeff inspired a generation.
Jeff performed a Swanton off the top of the ladder and put D-Von through the table. Jeff held the back of his head after the back of it hit one rung of the ladder on the way down, and appeared to hit the bottom rung after he went through the table. In typical Jeff fashion, he somehow stood up and even let out a primal scream while playing to the fans.
Back inside the ring, the Hardys eventually hit Bully with a couple of Twist of Fates. Jeff went to the apron and played to the fans before going up top and hitting Bully with a Swanton Bomb. The Hardys picked up chairs and took turns slamming them over Bully’s back. Bully used the table set up in the ring to get to his feet. Bully slowly turned and looked at the Hardys, who both tossed their chairs aside. Matt and Jeff picked up Bully, who had accepted his fate, and slammed him through the table to win the match.
Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy defeated “Team 3D” Bully Ray and D-Von in 15:45 in a tables match to retain the TNA Tag Team Titles and the NXT Tag Team Titles.
Yes, of course, Carlos Silva entered the ring again and handed off the title belts. Anyway, the Hardys pulled Bully Ray to his feet and hugged him. D-Von returned to the ring and was helped by the Hardys. The teams had a group hug. The fans chanted, “Thank you, Dudleys.” The Hardys held up their title belts while facing Team 3D and then started to leave the ring, but Bully and D-Von stopped them.
Bully and D-Von removed their boots and handed them to the Hardys to signify their retirement. The teams hugged again. All four men raised their arms. The Hardys’ music played while Bully and D-Von exited the ring. Jeff pointed to the sky. Bully and D-Von each had one arm around the other as they walked toward the entrance. They stopped and acknowledged the fans. The production team missed it, but Jeff put himself through a table that was leaning in a corner of the ring. Bully and D-Von headed to the back, and then the Hardys made their exit…
Powell’s POV: I’m not sure what planet Jeff Hardy and Darby Allin are from, but I know it’s not this one, and I suspect it’s named Planet Foley. Heck, I guess I can add Spike Dudley to the planet’s inhabitants, considering some of the bumps he took back in the day. It was really cool to see him again. This was great. I speculated that the teams went with a tables match rather than a Full Metal Mayhem (TNA’s version of TLC) because it would be easier on Team 3D, but obviously that wasn’t the case, given that they used tables, ladders, and chairs. Both teams worked really hard and added to their legacies. I’m not sure if Team 3D handed over their boots to signify the end of both of their careers or simply to signify the end of their run as a tag team. Either way, they can hold their heads high with that performance. This was a real treat, especially considering that there was a time not all that long ago that it seemed like D-Von’s health was bad and something like this wouldn’t be possible.
The broadcast team spoke at ringside. Rehwoldt said it was one of the honors of his life to call the match. They hyped the November tapings. They also said Thursday’s Impact will be an After Glory special. Hannifan said they will kick off 2026 in style…
A video aired for the TNA Genesis pay-per-view that will be held in Dallas, but no date or venue was listed…
Mike Santana made his entrance through the crowd for the main event. Santana met up with Konnan and they shared a hug. Santana held up the Puerto Rican flag while standing on the middle rope. Trick Williams made his entrance.
McKenzie Mitchell delivered in-ring introductions for the title match. Trick grabbed the mic before she could introduce him. Trick went face-to-face with Santana and told him he would beat his ass like he’s the Boston Red Sox. Trick delivered his own introduction and referred to himself as the greatest TNA Champion of all time and the man responsible for every ass in the seats tonight.
Santana knocked Santana down and then threw punches at him. Trfick rolled to the floor, and Santana followed. Hannifan noted that the match had not officially started as they battled over the barricade and into the crowd. Trick fought back and brought Santana back to ringside. Santana picked up Trick and dumped him on the apron. Santana slapped hands with fans in the front row. When he turned around, Trick hit him with the title belt.
8. Trick Williams vs. Mike Santana for the TNA World Championship. Trick wanted the referee to ring the bell, but he didn’t do it until Santana told him to “ring the damn bell.” Trick kicked Santana and then worked him over with a barrage of punches. Trick went to the ropes and played to the crowd for heat. A “new champ” chant started.
Santana fired up and threw rapid-fire shots at Trick, who dumped him over the top rope to the floor. Trick followed and catapulted Santana, causing his head to slam into the ring post. Trick played to the crowd and then rolled in and out of the ring to break the referee’s count. Trick picked up Santana, who was bleeding from the forehead. Trick slammed Santana on the floor. Trick picked up the top half of the ring steps and tried to slam them on Santana, who moved. Santana ran and then jumped off the steps to hit Trick.
Santana ran toward Trick, who backdropped him onto the bottom piece of the ring steps. Trick returned to the ring and showboated. Santana rolled back inside to beat the count, but Trick put him down with a spin kick and covered him for a two count. Trick applied a front facelock and yelled each time he wrenched on Santana’s head. Santana backed him into a corner of the ring to break the hold.
A short time later, Trick regained offensive control and went to ringside, where he taunted Santana’s daughter. “Who’s your daddy now?” Trick asked her. Santana’s daughter slapped him, and then Santana attacked him. Santana got Trick back in the ring and powerbombed him for a near fall. Santana went up top and hit a 450 splash for a near fall.
Trick came back with a couple of uranage slams. Trick went to the ropes, but Santana shot up and cut him off. Santana joined Trick on the ropes, but Trick hit him with another uranage slam from the middle rope, which resulted in another near fall. Trick went to the broadcast table and returned to the ring with the TNA Championship belt. Rehwoldt said Trick would gladly take a DQ.
Trick wound up, but Santana rolled him into a pin for a two count. Santana rolled him up for another two count. They took turns throwing kicks at one another, and then Santana hit Spin the Block for a good near fall. Trick’s arm was on Santana after he kicked out, which led to another two count. Hannifan said no one had kicked out of Spin the Block since Santana returned to TNA roughly 18 months earlier.
Trick’s lawyer showed up at ringside and mouthed off until Santana pulled him into the ring and hit him with Spin the Block. Trick caught Santana with a Trick Shot and covered him for a good near fall. Santana avoided a Trick Shot. Santana came back with two more Spin the Block clotheslines and then got the three count…
Mike Santana defeated Trick Williams in 16:15 to win the TNA World Championship.
Santana’s daughter was shown applauding from the front row. Carlos Silva was about to enter the ring with the title belt, but he was interrupted by entrance music.
Nic Nemeth’s entrance theme played and he started to walk toward the ring. The lights went out. When they turned on, Elijah was at ringside, and he slammed a guitar over Nemeth’s head.
Frankie Kazarian entered the ring and indicated that he wanted to cash in. Rehwoldt said Kazarian needed the trophy, which was on the floor next to the laid-out Nemeth. Santana blasted Kazarian with Spin the Block. Silva and Santana’s daughter entered the ring. Silva handed the belt to Santana, who was then hugged by his daughter.
Santana dropped to his knees and presented the belt to his daughter, and put it over her shoulder. Santana stood up and hugged his daughter. Hannifan said Santana is the first Puerto Rican TNA Champion. Santana had McKenzie Mitchell hand him the Puerto Rican flag, which he displayed while standing in the middle of the ring. Hannifan thanked fans for watching to close the show…
Powell’s POV: A strong main event with the right ending. I could have done without the overbooked post-match CYS cash-in teases. Santana’s celebration was satisfying enough, and the angle made Nemeth and Kazarian look like clowns. But the important thing is that Santana won the TNA World Championship in the main event of the company’s biggest show of the year.
Overall, the show was brought down a bit by a couple of bad finishes. But it also had some great moments, such as the Team 3D farewell, and Santana finally winning the big one. I will have to go back and watch the Knockouts Championship match and the Hardcore War before I do the BFG Hit List on Monday. Jonny Fairplay and I will team up momentarily for a same-night audio review that will be available as this week’s Pro Wrestling Boom podcast. Let us know what you thought of the show by voting for the best match and grading the overall show below.
“Hannifan said they will kick off 2026 in style…”
I wonder if AJ Styles will somehow kick off 2026 with a little farewell run in TNA
