TNA iMPACT! August 7 Preview: Santana Seeks Revenge, Callihan Fights for Closure, and Knockouts Divide

The final curtain clears on Slammiversary fallout tonight on TNA iMPACT!, and Episode 1,098 from Kingston, Rhode Island is stacked with electrifying championship clashes, explosive rematch mandates, and emotional showdowns as the Emergence pay-per-view looms.

Leon Slater’s first title defense may be in the books, but the ripple effects are just beginning—Cedric Alexander demanded a one-on-one showdown after he wasn’t pinned in the triple threat opener, and that singles X-Division Title match is officially scheduled for Emergence on August 15  .

What to expect tonight: Steve Maclin vs. Jake Something in a No DQ, No Count-Out bout as tensions escalate for the TNA International Championship  . Mike Santana vs. Sami Callihan: After an emotional promo, Callihan accepted Santana’s challenge for a one-on-one encounter  . Mara Sadè debuts in singles action versus Vicious Vicki in a match confirmed for tonight  .

Why this episode matters: Tonight’s edition is a pressure-packed launchpad leading to Emergence, blending unresolved scores, brewing rivalries, and title conspiracies into one potent cocktail. Slater’s reign—and Alexander’s challenge—hangs in the balance, while Maclin, Callihan, and the Knockouts division ignite fresh fires ahead of August 15.

Expect charisma-driven promos, high-octane confrontations, and authoritative shocks from Santino Marella, all wrapped in TNA’s signature mix of grit and spectacle.

In summary: No X-Division one-on-one match tonight—Alexander vs. Slater happens at Emergence. Expect major showdowns: Maclin vs. Jake Something (No DQ), Santana vs. Callihan, and the debut of Mara Sadè vs. Vicious Vicki.
