TNA Impact aired from the Dothan Civic Center in Dothan, Alabama. The show featured two championship defences, Leon Slater confronting his Destination X challenger Trey Miguel, Harley Hudson revealing her decision regarding The Righteous and continued tension within The System.
Knockouts Television Championship
M By Elegance (c) vs. Jada Stone
Stone started quickly with a standing moonsault before M accidentally knocked Mr. Elegance from the apron with a Big Boot intended for her challenger. Stone sent the champion outside and followed with a dive through the ropes, but M recovered and threw Stone over the top rope to the floor.
Back inside, Stone landed a jawbreaker, hurricanrana and 619 before countering an attempt to pull her from the turnbuckles with another hurricanrana. She followed with a forearm, knee to the midsection and neckbreaker, but M escaped the ring before Stone could make the cover.
Stone later had M pinned, only for Heather By Elegance to enter and distract the referee. M began arguing with Mr. Elegance as Stone prepared to attack from behind, but the champion saw her coming and connected with a belly-to-back piledriver to retain her title.
Winner: M By Elegance via Pinfall to retain the Knockouts Television Championship
The TNA Board Sends Brian to Monitor Daria Rae
A man approached TNA Director of Authority Daria Rae backstage and introduced himself as Brian. He explained that the TNA Board of Directors had hired him to monitor Rae and prevent further issues.
Rae responded by saying she would contact the board and have him removed.
Zero vs. BDE
BDE opened with a corner splash and flew through the middle rope to take Zero down outside. Zero quickly recovered with a clothesline and suplex before landing a leg drop for a two-count.
Zero then delivered a double chokeslam to secure the victory.
Winner: Zero via Pinfall
Zero delivered another double chokeslam to BDE after the match. Rich Swann attempted to intervene but suffered the same fate. Zero then took down four security guards with double chokeslams, while two additional guards backed away after he stared them down.
Shotzi Blackheart Addresses Monster’s Ball
A video aired in which Shotzi Blackheart discussed the Monster’s Ball match and The Undead Realm.

Amazing Red (c) vs. Cedric Alexander
Red and Alexander locked up before the champion launched himself from the top rope onto his challenger outside the ring. Following the commercial break, Red landed a right hand and a Tornado DDT from the corner.
Alexander answered with a right hand as the competitors traded strikes. Red regained control with a diving Tornado DDT from the middle rope and followed with Code Red to retain the championship.
Winner: Amazing Red via Pinfall to retain the X-Division Championship
The Injury Report subsequently revealed that BDE was undergoing evaluation following Zero’s attack. Mustafa Ali had also not been medically cleared.
Indi Hartwell Reflects on Her Championship Journey
A video showed Knockouts World Champion Indi Hartwell writing in her diary and reflecting on her journey to the title.
Back at ringside, Zoey Serrano attacked a security guard before Shayna Baszler joined her. Baszler took a headset from the commentary desk and told Hartwell that Daria Rae had brought her to TNA for a Knockouts World Championship match at Destination X.
Harley Hudson Joins The Righteous
A video from The Righteous aired in which Harley Hudson officially announced that she had decided to join Vincent and Dutch’s group.
John Skyler vs. A.J. Francis
Skyler knocked Francis from the ring and wiped him out with a crossbody over the top rope. Expressions distracted Skyler, however, and used the middle rope to wear him down while Francis occupied the referee.
Mila Moore confronted Expressions, but he ignored her objections and continued making advances. Expressions climbed onto the apron, with Moore following him, before Skyler accidentally knocked his girlfriend to the floor.
Expressions checked on Moore despite her clearly not wanting his attention. The situation distracted Skyler long enough for Francis to connect with a spear and chokeslam for the victory.
Winner: A.J. Francis via Pinfall
Backstage, Eddie Edwards and Bear Bronson were shown arguing while the other members of The System looked on.
Daria Rae Shows Brian How TNA Operates
Rae approached Brian and told him that if he intended to follow her around, she would show him how TNA was really run. Brian described himself as a company man before Rae walked away.
Leon Slater and Trey Miguel Confront Each Other
TNA World Champion Leon Slater spoke about growing up without his father and acknowledged that he could easily have followed a destructive path. He credited his mother and sister for believing in him and driving him around the United Kingdom in pursuit of opportunities.
Slater said he had promised himself that he would repay their sacrifices and was proud to do so as TNA World Champion. He then turned his attention to Destination X and called challenger Trey Miguel to the ring.
Slater acknowledged the personal and professional hardships Miguel had overcome, noting that both men continued fighting through adversity. However, Slater said their similarities ended with him holding the World Championship that Miguel had never won. He expected Miguel to give everything at Destination X and believed the world could eventually belong to him, but only after Slater was finished with it.
Miguel refused Slater’s initial handshake. He explained that Slater having fought throughout his life was different from Miguel feeling as though he had been fighting his entire life. Miguel noted that six years had passed since his previous TNA World Championship opportunity and said he did not know whether another would come.
After being abandoned by The Rascalz, Miguel felt his supporters deserved the same success as Slater’s family. He promised to continue scratching and clawing until he became TNA World Champion before finally shaking Slater’s hand.
Elijah vs. Ryan Nemeth
Ryan used Elijah’s bandana to choke him against the turnbuckles. Elijah powered free and pulled Ryan from the middle rope with the bandana before using it to choke him in return.
Elijah followed with a piledriver to win the match.
Winner: Elijah via Pinfall
Nic Nemeth entered afterward to check on his brother. Elijah approached from behind with his acoustic guitar and attempted to strike Nic, but Nic moved, causing Elijah to hit Ryan instead.
Mustafa Ali Proposes an Alliance with Frankie Kazarian
Mustafa Ali approached Frankie Kazarian backstage and suggested they form an alliance against TNA’s younger generation. Ali said he had elevated the “ungrateful swine” of Order 4 and warned Kazarian that Avery Styles would eventually betray him.
Kazarian rejected the proposal, telling Ali to take his baggage elsewhere and get out of his face.
