Rich Swann Returns, Lots of Knockouts Action, New Matches Set For Emergence — TNA iMPACT Results — August 7, 2025
-Trick Williams set to kick off the show.
He made fun of Moose’s big head, his Momma, grandmother and Uncle and threatened to smack all of them.
Out came Moose. Moose punched him and went for a spear, but Trick bailed.
We go backstage to a Gabby LaSpisa standing by with a returning Gia Miller. Gia thanks Gabby for filling in, and then looks into the camera and tells Tessa Blanchard that if she ever puts her hands on her again, she’s going to “fucking kill her.”
Gia then welcomes her guest, Joe Hendry, who says that by the time the match with Ali is over, he’ll believe in Joe Hendry.
Backstage, Santana approaches Sami Callihan. He tells Sami that out of respect for their history he’s going to give Sami the match he asked for at Emergence. Eric Young walks up and says he’s going to take out both men, telling Santana specifically that the “cleansing” will start with him.
TNA International Title
-Steve Maclin (c) vs. Jake Something. Both men fought on the outside to a Double Countout.
Backstage, SDL and Mance Warner barge into Santinos office, just to discover he’s not there. SDL pulls Mance in anyway…
Cedric Alexander hypes up the TNA X Division and how he knew he belonged here.
-Xia Brookside & Lei Ying Lee def. Heather & M By Elegance (w/Personal Concierge George Iceman)
TNA Injury report presented by BIOFLEX:
KC Navarro – Dislocated Knee – OUT
Home Town Man – Bruised Ribs – OUT
Mustafa Ali/Joe Hendry – None – CLEAR
Ash is backstage yelling at M and Heather By Elegance in their dressing room for losing their match on her big night. She says she needs to be focus on Jacy Jayne and kicks Heather, M, and Personal Concierge out of her dressing room.
-First Class is out next for an episode of the First Class Penthouse. KC reaggravated his knee at Slammiversary and will have to get surgery for a torn ACL. AJ told him that like the NFL, it’s next man up, so he brought out the returning Rich Swann.
AJ forced KC to hold the mic for Rich and he didn’t seem happy about it. Swann said he’s back to make the company TNAJ. AJ future endeavored KC from First Class. AJ called him a replacement and KC told him off. AJ said he’s been carrying 165 pounds of dead weight for 9 months. Before KC they were both champions, but KC lost constantly in First Class. He even cost Trick the match last week and loses all the time because he’s a loser. Swann yanked KC’s crutch out, causing KC to fall on the ramp and eventually KC left and the segment ended.
-Mara Sade def. Vicious Vicki
We get a hype video for the incredible behind the scenes FADE TO BLACK documentary, available now to all TNA + subscribers.
TNA Knockouts World Title
-Ash By Elegance def. Jacy Jayne (c) via disqualification. Masha attacked Ash for the DQ. We ended up with run-ins by Xia, Lei Ying Lee, M & Heather By Elegance, Fatal Influence and finally The IInspiration, Masha Slamovich, Xia Brookside, and Lei Ying Lee stood tall.
The Hardy’s aired a video that Santino will be revealing their TNA Tag Team challengers shortly, but for them that victory cemented them as the best tag team of all time.
-We’ll get an announcement about Emergence from TNA Director of Authority, Santino Marella
Santino Marella came out and announced Steve Maclin vs Jake Something in a No DQ, No Countout match, Mike Santana vs Sami Callihan and The Elegance Brand vs Xia Brookside & Lei Ying Lee vs Fatal Influence vs The Iinspiration for the KO Tag Team Titles, all taking place at the Emergence PLE on August 15th.
Santino then called out The Nemeth’s and told them that due to their attack on the Home Town Man last week, he is taking away their Tag Team Title match and giving it to The Rascalz. Then, after saying they were both suspended, Ryan threatened to sue Santino, so Santino booked Ryan vs Home Town Man at Emergence.
We get a rundown of the matches for next week.
-Mustafa Ali def. Joe Hendry
Ali’s entire entourage got involved, and eventually a new member of Ali’s security – Bill Collier – booted Hendry outside the ring and Ali pinned him with a 450 Splash.
