In the ever-evolving world of TNA Wrestling, few storylines have captivated and disturbed audiences in equal measure like the rise—and apparent implosion—of Order 4. Spearheaded by the enigmatic and manipulative Mustafa Ali, the faction initially seemed poised to reshape the landscape of TNA. But as we approach tonight’s monumental 23rd anniversary of TNA iMPACT! the group finds itself on the brink of collapse.

Tonight’s “Order 4 Summit” could be a reckoning—either a turning point toward domination or the final unraveling of a fragile alliance stitched together by ambition, trauma, and control.

The Return That Sparked a War

It all began on the January 23, 2025 live edition of TNA iMPACT!, when Mustafa Ali made a shocking return to the company by interrupting “The Standard of TNA” Mike Santana, who was in the middle of a career-defining promo. Fresh off a massive victory over “The Walking Weapon” Josh Alexander at TNA Genesis, Santana proudly proclaimed himself the new face of the company. But Ali, fueled by bitterness and ambition, refused to let the moment stand.

Declaring himself the “revolution TNA never deserved,” Ali immediately targeted Santana—his rise, his sobriety, his redemption. From that point on, Ali was hell-bent on breaking Santana down mentally, emotionally, and physically.

The Formation of Order 4

On the February 13, 2025 edition of TNA iMPACT!, Ali escalated his movement by forming a faction he called Order 4, claiming it was time to “restore balance” to TNA through discipline, order, and structure. But from the start, it was clear Ali’s vision was less about leadership and more about control.

The group included:

• The Great Hands — the newly rebranded John Skylar and Jason Hotch, who shifted from underutilized talent to loyal enforcers.
• Tasha Steelz — the dangerous and cunning former Knockouts World Champion, aligning herself with Ali, seemingly to regain influence in the division.

Together, they were a sleek, militaristic unit with a clear message: chaos ends now. But behind closed doors, the seeds of dysfunction were already being sown.

Santana vs. Ali at Rebellion

After months of psychological warfare and tension, the grudge match was finally set. On April 27, 2025 at TNA Rebellion, Santana and Ali collided in a no-rules Falls Count Anywhere match, a confrontation built on trauma and vengeance. Ali’s goal was not just to beat Santana, but to break him—mentally and physically.

The fight spilled all over the arena. Chairs, tables, and guardrails became weapons of memory and pain. But when the dust settled, it was Mike Santana who triumphed, silencing his demons and Ali with a cathartic victory. The win was monumental for Santana’s legacy—but the psychological toll it took on Ali would lead to the unraveling of everything he had built.

Cracks in the Foundation

After Rebellion, a new, darker Mustafa Ali began to emerge—angrier, more erratic, and completely consumed by maintaining control. His speeches on order grew more desperate. His attacks became more unpredictable. And most alarmingly, he began mistreating the members of Order 4, especially Tasha Steelz.

Ali’s leadership turned toxic. At first, The Great Hands tried to rein him in. But as the abuse escalated, particularly Ali’s unsettling physical outbursts toward Tasha, the unity within Order 4 began to crumble. Tasha, increasingly wary, was seen in recent weeks making phone calls backstage—repeatedly whispering to an unseen confidante:

“You’re the only one he’ll listen to… we need you before he destroys everything.”

The mystery only deepened as Against All Odds approached.

Against All Odds: Hotch vs. Ali

On the heels of Tasha’s cryptic phone calls, the tension hit a peak when Mustafa Ali challenged Jason Hotch to a match at the TNA+ live special, Against All Odds. The implication was clear: Hotch was being punished for disloyalty.

With John Skylar on commentary and Tasha reluctantly at ringside, the match felt less like a wrestling bout and more like a psychological trial. Ali berated Hotch throughout, targeting him physically and emotionally. It was a cruel, calculated dissection.

Skylar, on commentary, visibly struggled to watch. Tasha’s pain was palpable. And ultimately, it became too much for her to endure—she walked out.

Ali, fueled by unchecked rage, picked up the win. But as he stood alone in the ring, the crowd didn’t see a leader. They saw a tyrant unraveling.

Who’s on the Other End of the Line?

As speculation swirls about the phone calls Tasha Steelz has been making, one name stands out among the rest: Cedric Alexander.

A former tag partner, bitter rival, and one-time brother-in-arms to Mustafa Ali during their WWE 205 Live days, Cedric represents perhaps the only figure in Ali’s life who understands the line between his brilliance and his self-destruction. Their matches were instant classics. Their promos, cutting. Their chemistry, undeniable.

If anyone could return to talk sense into Ali—or challenge him to face his demons—it’s Cedric Alexander. His arrival could bring either salvation or destruction to TNA’s most unstable faction.

The Order 4 Summit: Make or Break

Now, the world turns its eyes to tonight’s edition of TNA iMPACT!, the 23rd anniversary of the show’s historic debut in 2002. And what should be a celebration may instead become a battleground, as Order 4 convenes for a live, in-ring summit.

Will they come clean? Will the truth be spoken? Or will long-held grudges explode?

If They Reunite…

Should Ali find it within himself to show contrition, and if Tasha, Hotch, and Skylar find reason to stay, Order 4 could become stronger than ever. Steelz could reclaim Knockouts gold. The Great Hands could dominate the tag team division. And a refocused Ali could resume his mission to dethrone Mike Santana and finally capture the TNA World Championship.

Order 4, reborn in fire, could become the most terrifying force in modern TNA history.

If They Collapse…

But if the summit turns to chaos—as many suspect it will—we could witness the violent implosion of the faction. Steelz may walk away for good. Hotch may turn babyface. Skylar may be forced to choose between friend and loyalty. And Ali? He may go scorched earth on the entire roster.

In that case, Order 4 won’t just be dead.

It’ll be dangerous.

The story of Order 4 is one of manipulation, ambition, trauma, and consequence. Mustafa Ali may believe he’s bringing order to TNA—but what he’s truly bringing is a mirror, reflecting the chaos that happens when a leader is lost to his own ideology.

This week, as TNA celebrates 23 years, we may witness the end of a faction, the arrival of a savior, or the start of a war that changes the company forever.

Will the Order hold? Or will it fall apart?

Stay tuned. The Order isn’t finished. But it may be fractured beyond repair.
