On the eve of Final Resolution, TNA iMPACT! from Full Sail in Winter Park, Florida was all about drawing the battle lines. The NXT invasion story hit a new peak as Team NXT stole a huge main-event win over some of TNA’s top champions, Mike Santana got a measure of revenge, and Xia Brookside secured the biggest opportunity of her TNA run so far by earning a Knockouts World Title shot against her own tag partner, Léi Yǐng Lee. With every segment pushing directly into Friday’s special from El Paso, this was a classic go-home show that made Final Resolution feel like must-see TV. 

Here are the full results

• Brooks Jensen (w/ Lexis King) def. The Home Town Man  
• Xia Brookside def. Dani Luna – Knockouts World Championship #1 Contender’s Match  
• Mike Santana def. Robert Stone  
• Mustafa Ali def. Trey Miguel  
• Team NXT (Lexis King, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe) def. Team TNA (TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys, TNA International Champion Steve Maclin & Cedric Alexander)  

Brooks Jensen steals one for NXT in the opener

The show opened hot with TNA vs. NXT right out of the gate as The Home Town Man looked to defend TNA territory against Brooks Jensen, seconded by the ever-scheming Lexis King. From the jump, The Home Town Man fed off the crowd, firing up with his trademark offense and going for the Home Town Slice early. Jensen weathered the storm and slowed the pace, leaning on brawling and using his size to grind his opponent down. 

The turning point came on the floor: The Home Town Man wiped out King with a dive, but that moment of momentum would cost him. Back inside, King recovered just long enough to jab at the leg with his cane, creating the opening Jensen needed to crack The Home Town Man with a running heel kick for the three-count. It was a textbook NXT win: not clean, not pretty, but brutally effective and another example of the visitors exploiting numbers and shortcuts to tilt the playing field. 

Backstage, the tone shifted to faction warfare and looming grudges.

• The Rascalz reunited in the Treehouse to plot strategy for their massive clash with Order 4 at Final Resolution, underlining how personal that eight-man showdown has become.  
• The IInspiration cut a confident promo about their Knockouts Tag Team Title reign before Tessa Blanchard & Victoria Crawford, backed up by Mila Moore, tried to ambush them. The champs fought back and stood tall, reminding everyone that the challengers might have the numbers game, but Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay still own the big-fight spotlight.  

Xia Brookside vs. Dani Luna – Knockouts World Title #1 Contender’s Match

With Léi Yǐng Lee awaiting her next challenger, Xia Brookside and Dani Luna collided in a high-stakes #1 Contender’s Match that epitomized modern Knockouts wrestling: physical, smart, and story-driven. Luna went straight to work on Brookside’s left knee, chopping her down with targeted offense and forcing Xia to fight from underneath. 

Brookside showed real grit, stringing together Broken Wings and a top-rope crossbody for a near fall, then transitioning into an Octopus stretch that had Luna briefly in trouble. Luna powered out, planting Xia with a Blue Thunder Bomb as the match shifted into a desperate closing stretch. When Luna reached for her trademark steel chain under the ring, it looked like the storybook run might end in heartbreak—until Indi Hartwell appeared. 

Hartwell disarmed Luna and, in a key piece of poetic justice, nailed her with the very chain she tried to introduce. Brookside capitalized with a quick roll-up to score the three-count and officially punch her ticket to Final Resolution as the next challenger to Léi Yǐng Lee’s Knockouts World Championship. 

Moments later, Lee spoke about defending against her own tag partner and friend. The Angel Warriors colliding for the top women’s prize instantly adds emotional weight to the match: this isn’t just about a title, it’s about trust, ambition, and what happens when partners are forced to decide how far they’ll go to be the best. 

A mid-show Injury Report, presented by BIOFLEX, added more texture to the card:

• Mike Santana, Tessa Blanchard, and Indi Hartwell were all announced as cleared to compete,
• while Zachary Wentz and Dezmond Xavier were ruled out with upper-body injuries—raising big questions about how The Rascalz will approach their showdown with Order 4.  

Mike Santana sends a message to NXT

Still seething from the NXT attack that originally injured his arm, Mike Santana finally got his hands on Robert Stone in a singles bout. Stone tried to jump him before the bell and repeatedly targeted Santana’s previously damaged right arm, bouncing it off the ring post and looking to soften up the limb ahead of Final Resolution. 

But a cleared Santana has a different gear. Once he fired up, the “Realest” flipped the momentum, exploding with strikes and planting Stone with Spin the Block for a decisive victory. Post-match, Santana cut a fiery warning aimed at the rest of the NXT invaders, making it crystal clear that the war for TNA’s future isn’t just about wins and losses—it’s about retribution. 

Elsewhere, TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian dismissed JDC as an unworthy challenger, framing the veteran’s looming retirement as a failed “tour” he’s about to end permanently, while JDC promised that El Paso will showcase a darker, more dangerous side of him. With JDC’s Final Resolution bout billed as one of his last major title shots before hanging up the boots in early 2026, the emotional stakes for that World Championship match were hammered home throughout the show. 

Meanwhile, in the FIR$T CLA$$ PENTHOU$E, A.J. Francis and Rich Swann hosted X-Division Champion Leon Slater. Francis verbally tore into both men, insisting Swann should have finished the job at Turning Point. When Swann balked at using the X-Division Title as a weapon, Francis snapped, chokeslamming Slater through a table and posing with the championship. It was a emphatic visual that framed their X-Division clash at Final Resolution as a class war between the brash heavyweight and the young high-flyer who’s become the workhorse of the division. 

Mustafa Ali taps out Trey Miguel as Order 4 gains momentum

With The Rascalz and Order 4 banned from ringside, Trey Miguel vs. Mustafa Ali was positioned as the pure wrestling preview of their eight-man tag at Final Resolution. The early action saw Ali gain control by spiking Miguel with a DDT on the floor, slowing the pace and zeroing in on Trey’s neck and back. 

Miguel answered with his signature burst of athleticism—springboard counters, a sliding DDT to the outside, and a Meteora that nearly ended it. But Ali’s game plan was built around submissions, and when he avoided a second Meteora, he transitioned seamlessly into a Sharpshooter, wrenching back until Miguel had no choice but to tap. 

The finish did more than give Ali a statement win—it positioned Order 4 as the more composed, dangerous unit heading into the multi-man clash with The Rascalz. With Wentz and Xavier on the injury list, the psychological edge rests firmly with Ali’s crew heading into El Paso. 

Main event: Team NXT shocks Team TNA

The closing stretch of iMPACT! escalated the TNA vs. NXT war to a full-blown battlefield. With Director of Authority Santino Marella giving a rah-rah speech backstage, The Hardys, Steve Maclin, and Cedric Alexander marched to the ring as Team TNA to face Lexis King, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, Tyson Dupont, and Tyriek Igwe—an NXT squad that has made a career out of blindsides and ambushes. 

Ironically, TNA struck first, jumping the NXT crew before the bell and sending Stacks crashing out onto his partners. Alexander dazzled early, but once NXT isolated him, the match swung in their favor, with Dupont and Igwe using their power to cut the ring in half. When Alexander finally created separation and tagged in Maclin, the match erupted. Maclin mowed down both big men with a running dive from the apron, the Hardys hit their classic tandem offense, and it briefly looked like TNA had the invaders outgunned. 

But chaos is where King thrives. As bodies flew everywhere, King slipped in a crucial cane shot to Maclin, leaving the International Champion stunned. Stacks seized the moment, diving in to score the pinfall and deliver another psychological blow to the TNA locker room. Team NXT celebrated over a fallen Maclin and the World Tag Team Champions as the show went off the air, sending a crystal-clear message: on the eve of Final Resolution, NXT still owns the numbers game and the momentum.
