TNA iMPACT! Preview (7/17/25) – Last Stop Before Slammiversary

On the July 15 episode of NXT , the TNA wrestlers were everywhere. Trick Williams, Joe Hendry, and Mike Santana were forced to coexist in a six-man tag team match against NXT’s DarkState. The match erupted into chaos as Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, and JDC of The System brought the fight to DarkState.

Meanwhile, battle lines were drawn when Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich fought alongside NXT’s Sol Ruca and Zaria in a wild brawl with Fatal Influence. Slamovich dropped Jayne with the Snow Plow to pin the NXT Women’s Champion. The road to Slammiversary is, and remains, definitely eNYGMAtic…

The Stakes at TNA Wrestling ahead of Slammiversary

TNA World Champion Trick Williams teams with Frankie Kazarian against his Slammiversary challengers: Joe Hendry and Mike Santana. With tensions already exploding last week, can Hendry and Santana function as a team?

NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne speaks out one last time. With Léi Ying Lee and Xia Brookside also in Masha Slamovich’s corner, expect strong words from Jayne as NXT and TNA collide at Slammiversary.

The X-Division Champion Moose goes one-on-one with Sami Callihan. Can Callihan hand Moose a loss before Slammiversary, or will Moose continue to steamroll through the competition? Before they compete in a four-way Ladder Match for the TNA World Tag Team Titles, The Hardys will speak live on iMPACT!

After being attacked by NXT’s DarkState last week, Matt Cardona looks to unleash chaos heading into Slammiversary weekend. Cardona has made it clear he plans to leave his mark one way or another. What does “The Complete” have in store?

With Eric Young claiming the Home Town Man’s real identity is none other than Cody Deaner, the masked fan-favorite faces a huge test this week against Northern Armory’s Judas Icarus. Can the Home Town Man score a hometown victory, or will this be his final appearance in a TNA ring?

Faction warfare explodes as Order 4 collides with The System. Will Order 4 send a final message, or will The System stand tall heading into the weekend?

With her grudge match against Indi Hartwell set for Slammiversary, Tessa Blanchard warms up against Dani Luna this Thursday on TNA iMPACT. Luna will not go down easily, and if Hartwell is watching, expect fireworks in the iMPACT Zone.

After defeating Harley Hudson & Myla Grace last week, Knockouts World Tag Team Champions Ash & Heather By Elegance will speak out. With The IInspiration challenging them at Slammiversary for the titles, The Elegance Brand looks to cement their dominance.

The Nygma’s View

Having six matches and three segments in a PLE go-home show is big, but not as big as you could expect. It’s a go-home, so everything is Slammiversary-related, whether you want it or not. And Nygma says: Let’s keep some viper tongue for After the Bell, the Slammiversary preview and predictions.

The Trick Williams and Frankie Kazarian against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana match is the classic appetizer before the TNA World Championship match. Moose wants to make a statement by defeating Sami Callihan, to show Leon Slater he is not ready to let the X-Division title leave his waist.

Tessa Blanchard vs Dani Luna is another match meant to say to Indi Hartwell, “I’m stronger than you, and you won’t win on Sunday.” The Elegance Brand has some things to say.

Ash tested a new hairspray? Maggie changed her eyeliner brand? Or did Heather find a new dress shop?

For sure, they have some “IInspiration” for that.

NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne will address the Slammiversary match. She can come to say she will win and tease Masha Slamovich, attack Slamovich with her Fatal Influence pals. Order 4 faces the System, but the System attacked Darkstate on NXT.

That won’t change anything when it comes to the Ali vs Alexander match. But when it comes to Matt Cardona and his issues with Darkstate, the match I was telling you about the last few weeks could suddenly make sense. NXT’s Darkstate vs Cardona and the System seems definitely in the making.

The Hardys may say they want to win, and will win. First Class, the Rascalz, and the Nemeths would want to say they will win, too. I feel like there might be something bigger announced, a possible game changer.

Eric Young is absolutely sure the Home Town Man is Cody Deaner (really?). Judas Icarus faces him on iMPACT, but Eric Young will want to unmask him by himself. And, for sure, that is made for Slammiversary, as I suspected.

The Road to Slammiversary reaches its last stop with this iMPACT. On Sunday, some chapters will close, and new stories will emerge.

I’ll see you on Friday for TNA iMPACT! “After The Bell.” I let you find out which TNA Slammiversary matches are my favorites, as well as my thoughts on Leon Slater.

Stay tuned, too, as I talked to the King of TNA, Frankie Kazarian, a few hours ago, and more pieces are coming soon. Till Friday, may the Nygma be with you.
