TNA Thursday Night iMPACT on AMC. Act One, Scene One. The road to TNA Genesis 2026 comes to an end with the first episode of  Thursday Night iMPACT on AMC. If you think everything is about to change, you’re wrong. Nothing will change; TNA Wrestling takes back its rightful place on a major cable US TV channel. The fans, the talents, the Knockouts, our favourite announcers: nothing changes.

As told in the TNA iMPACT preview, a new era means a special episode. TNA Original AJ Styles returns to the iMPACT Zone. Two days before TNA Genesis, late changes can emerge as the TNA World Championship and the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship are on the line. Also, Mustafa Ali and The Great Hands collide with Elijah and the TNA World Tag Team Champions, The Hardys.

We all know you’re locked and loaded for the show, so let’s get right into it. Here are the LIVE TNA Thursday Night iMPACT results as they happen, January 15, 2026. Let’s Nygma-run it down.

TNA Thursday Night iMPACT Results (01/15/2026)

  • We are just 40 minutes away from the beginning of this new era of TNA iMPACT. It’s 2.20 AM in France, and I’m here with you to live this historic moment LIVE.
  • I just learnt that AJ Styles will kick off Thursday Night iMPACT. Take a look at the Culver Center here.
  • Just 10 minutes before the show. As we wait together, I will also be live this Saturday night to live TNA Genesis LIVE with you.

AJ Styles Kicks off Thursday Night iMPACT

  • After a fabulous intro, here it is. “The TNA era on AMC began!” yelled Tom Hannifan.
  • AJ Styles, the revolutionary, is here. The Phenomenal One drives the crowd crazy. WELCOME TO THE HOUSE THAT AJ STYLES BUILT!!! He wants to make it shorter. “You are TNA, you’re the TNA nation!” T.N.A. The 3 letters that made everything possible for AJ Styles.
  • If Styles crossed half of the world just to say this, that’s a bit disappointing. We’ll see.

Elijah and The Hardys vs. Order 4

  • TNA Plus is not working anymore, maybe due to the advertisement time on AMC. I’m not the only one, as people are yelling on social media. The match is happening, but on AMC.
  • The match is happening, but I am unable to watch. It’s back as Matt Hardy hit a Twist of Fate on Tasha Steelz and Mustafa Ali.
  • John Skyler is in the ring, and he pummels Elijah. Twist of Fate by Matt Hardy on Skyler! The Hardys and Elijah won.
  • The Righteous are in the ring. They attacked the Hardys. Vincent promised the Righteous would become the new Champions at Genesis.

Frankie Kazarian is with Gia Miller. THE BIGGEST NIGHT IN TNA HISTORY, says the Champ as AJ Styles arrives. Kaz asks if he needs to shake his hand. ONE LAST MATCH!!! It looks like Kaz vs. Styles will soon be on the menu. I just can’t wait to watch that!!!

Here is Ad time #1 (maybe #2). We can see the arena on TNA Plus.

The X-Division is a pillar of TNA. AJ Francis and Mara Sadè are the crowd. Here comes Gia Miller again, talking to AMC stars and former WWE Diva Candice Michelle. Here comes Ryan Nemeth. Mara, get ready to superkick! No, Nemeth NutCracked himself on a barricade… This man is a human joke.

Santino Marella is here

  • He smiles! The Milan Miracle is back. His heart is still broken, but he is here. He introduces Daria Rae, fka WWE’s Sonya Deville. Marella welcomes her to TNA. Daria Rae is happy to be there. She is there to throw him out! What the hell is happening here? She thinks she can do the job better than he does. The “SUIT” announces she signed Elayna Black back.

AJ Styles is advising Santana. He asks him to kick his a--. “Do what you do best, win.” Santana thanks him.

Ad time #3. Some people are in the ring. The cast of “Darkwinds” is at the ringside.

The IInspiration vs The Elegance Brand

  • Perez Hilton is in the ring to unveil Mr. Elegance. He is damn gorgeous and absolutely not like last week. ME, Mister Elegance, is definitely different. The IInspiration arrives, and attacks H & M. The Personal Concierge, Mister Elegance, and Ash by Elegance are at ringside. M and H are as vicious as usual.
  • My buddy DraVen reveals Mister Elegance is AJZ, Andreas John Ziegler (he was a member of Mustafa Ali’s Secret Service). As I was expecting, ZaRuca is watching backstage. The Personal Concierge interferes. Jessie McKay wants to punch him. This match is a mess, as usual. A pure “hairbrush and hairspray” moment. AJZ prevents The IInspiration from winning. The Elegance Brand is Knockouts Tag Team Champions again. When are they going to stop cheating to win?

Backstage, TNA International Champion Stacks and Arianna Grace say Marella deserves what he got. Stacks will defend at Genesis.

Ad time #4. This first hour was closer to a WWE show than anything else. TNA Wrestling’s debut on AMC is not the best.

Indi Hartwell wants the TNA Knockouts title. The Elegance Brand stops her. She will talk to Santino Marella. May Hartwell and a partner of her choice go for the Knockouts Tag Team Championship at Genesis?

TNA Knockouts Championship Match Change

  • The Knockouts are never afraid to cross the line.
  • Santino Marella welcomes TNA Knockouts World Champion Léi Ying Lee. Xia Brookside comes with her to the ring. Dani Luna couldn’t compete at Genesis (visa issues for her and other talents). Léi Ying Lee will defend in an open challenge. Here comes NXT’s Zaria and Sol Ruca. They were in town for the Tag Team title, but now Sol Ruca wants singles competition. She gives Zaria a chance to become a champion on Saturday. Zaria signs the contract on Marella’s back.

A TNA World Championship presentation. We see Mike Santana and Frankie Kazarian on their way to the ring.

Ad time #5. It’s 4.20 AM. I’m pretty disappointed, maybe because I’m sleepy. A little review will be available tomorrow, well, later today, to analyze all of that.

Cedric Alexander learns that Leon Slater won’t be at Genesis, another visa issue. Joe Hendry will replace Slater against Moose and Alexander. Both Luna and Slater are from the UK, which could explain the situation.

The System is on AMC

Moose, Brian Myers, JDC, Alisha Edwards, and Eddie Edwards are on AMC. Eddie says this moment is special because the company means a lot to them. At Genesis, two brothers will have one final dance. JDC says that he is happy to finish his career in TNA. He will face a friend of 25 years at Genesis, and he will announce next week who will replace him.

Frankie Kazarian vs. Mike Santana – TNA World Championship

  • TNA President Carlos Silva welcomes Dixie Carter . She thanks the fans. She is proud of the roster. Here comes Bully Ray, who hugs her.
  • The Realest arrives from the crowd. Bully Ray says that Kazarian is a good guy. That’s a point of view.
  • Kaz is taking his time. With less than 20 minutes, it will fizzle out. PLEASE, FIGHT, KAZ!! He goes straight for the Chicken Wing. Santana finally finds his pace. Action is now outside. Santana eats the floor. Sorry for his back.
  • They are now on the ramp. Excellent job by Kaz on Santana, with a classic but efficient leg drop. Tom Hannifan reminds us that Nic Nemeth has a Call Your Shot Cup. The crowd chants Santana, who feels the floor drop on his back. The match is slow. Santana seems to suffer. Backstabber by Kaz, nasty. Kaz slaps Santana to wake him up. He smiles, he enjoys the slaps. BORICUA TIME. Santana attacks, the sound of this chop! Superkick, Rolling Buck 50. Yes, he’s back. Spanish fly, Code Red. Kaz unleashes the Angels’ Wings. Slingshot cutter and leg drop, a classic Kaz.
  • Kazarian brings the belt, and the referee sees it. Spin The Block attempts… REFEREE DOWN. Santana has the win, and the ref is down. NOOOO. Kaz takes the belt, belt shot, Fade to Black on the apron. SANTANA IS ALIVE!! CANADIAN DESTROYER AND SPIN THE BLOCK, BUT TWO!! Another Spin The Block. YES!!!! HE DID IT AGAIN!!!
  • SANTANA IS THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION. Did I hear there will be a rematch on Saturday?

It’s 5 AM, Nygma goes to bed. Let me sleep a little, and I’m back to you with a review, more news, and the TNA Genesis. Till then, may the Nygma be with you.

That’s it for REAL-TIME TNA Thursday Night iMPACT results as they happen in Garland, TX, on January, 15, 2025.
