During the Genesis pay-per-view event, TNA announced that the NXT Tag Team Championship will be defended at the company’s live IMPACT event on 1/23.
The announcement came after the champions Fraxiom (Axiom and Nathan Frazer) appeared at ringside to watch the TNA World Tag Team Championship match between The Hardys and The Rascalz, who earned a shot at the NXT titles in September 2024 but never received their match following an attack by Wes Lee.
The match and Santino Marella addressing Josh Alexander quitting TNA comprise the current lineup for the company’s first live IMPACT in eight years, emanating from the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas.
