TNA iMPACT! returns tonight with the final stop before Slammiversary, and this is the kind of go-home show that needs to do more than simply remind people a pay-per-view is coming. TNA has a strong enough Slammiversary card on paper, but the company also walks into tonight with a lot of pressure around it. The … Read more
It is Wednesday, and the wrestling world is doing that thing again where one afternoon somehow gives us streaming news, roster movement, future-star conversations, nostalgia, record-breaking chaos and AEW pay-per-view build all at once.

TNA iMPACT! had one major responsibility last night: make the road to Slammiversary feel bigger, sharper and more urgent. At times, the show did exactly that.

TNA iMPACT! last night was built around the return of the Champions Challenge, and on paper, that should have made the episode feel like a major turning point on the road to Slammiversary.
