Results for this week’s TNA IMPACT are courtesy of TNAWrestling.com, featuring fallout from last weekend’s Sacrifice special event!
The fallout from Sacrifice began on an all-new TNA iMPACT! on AXS TV in the US, Sportsnet 360 in Canada, and TNA+ around the world.
Masha Slamovich kicked off the show following her successful Knockouts World Title defense over NXT’s Cora Jade at Sacrifice. Slamovich said that she is out to prove she’s the best the champion in all of wrestling – when she was interrupted by Tessa Blanchard. Blanchard staked her claim to the Knockouts World Title when, out of nowhere, Slamovich was blindsided by NXT’s Jacy Jayne! Director of Authority Santino Marella announced that next week, Slamovich and Jayne will face off 1-on-1 with Blanchard banned from ringside.
The liaison between TNA and NXT, Arianna Grace, told Santino Marella that she had no idea Jacy Jayne was going to be here tonight – but there is a planned surprise for later.
Eric Young joined Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt on commentary as The Northern Armory battled The Rascalz in tag team action. Judas Icarus and Travis Williams bent the rules in the early going to gain control. Turnabout is fair play however, as The Rascalz returned the favor later on. Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel scored the victory following Feed Em to the Lions on Williams.

After the match, The Northern Armory looked to deliver a 3-on-2 assault to The Rascalz until Ace Austin made the save with a steel chair.
Gia Miller interviewed Xia Brookside after she was blinded by Rosemary’s green mist last week. Brookside revealed that there is no permanent damage to her eyes, before admitting that she is conflicted about whether or not to continue fighting fair. Rosemary made her presence felt as she challenged Brookside to find a partner for a tag team match tonight.
Chavo Guerrero Jr. made his highly-anticipated return as a guest on the FIR$T CLA$$ Penthou$e. A.J. Francis and KC Navarro kicked things off by insulting the fans in El Paso, Texas before Chavo came to their aid. Frankie Kazarian was out next, as he reminded Chavo that they have unfinished business from many years ago. Chavo brought backup in the form of the Aztec Warriors, and announced a six-man tag team match versus Kazarian and Fir$t Cla$$ for next week!
Mustafa Ali and Mike Santana met in a rematch from Sacrifice, after involvement from Tasha Steelz and The Great Hands gave Ali the victory that night. Everyone was banned from ringside, as Santana jumpstarted the match with a dive to the outside. They brawled around the ringside area before finding their way into the ring. Santana was nearing victory when Ali rolled back to the outside. Ali would retreat through the crowd, getting himself intentionally counted out.

Gia Miller caught up with Mustafa Ali, who claimed that he will be the one addiction that Mike Santana does not beat.
Nic and Ryan Nemeth were in the ring to address their shocking betrayal of Matt Hardy at Sacrifice. Nic claimed that he was the reason for the success of TNA over the last year, and blamed The Hardys for sliding in and taking all the credit. Nic said that Matt tried to drive a wedge between him and his brother – but he and Ryan are the greatest brother tag team in the history of pro wrestling.
But then, they were confronted by a fired-up Leon Slater, who told Nic that he can’t steal the show anymore because it’s already been stolen. Ryan challenged Slater to face Nic in match next week. Slater hit the ring but was caught with a superkick from Nic.
Rosemary & Savannah Evans vs. Xia Brookside & Léi Yǐng Lee
Xia Brookside recruited Léi Yǐng Lee to team up against Rosemary and a partner of her choosing, Savannah Evans. The action was fast and furious as these four Knockouts waged war in the iMPACT! Zone. Brookside narrowly avoided the green mist this time, which caused Rosemary to blind her own partner. Lee capitalized with Thunderstuck to score the pinfall on Evans.

The Personal Concierge hosted a Championship Celebration By Elegance for the new Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, Ash and Heather, following their victory over Spitfire in a 3-on-2 match at Sacrifice. It didn’t take long before they were once again confronted by NXT’s Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson, who revealed that they’ve crossed the line in pursuit of the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles! The former champs were out next, who reminded Ash and Heather of their contractually-obligated rematch. The surprises continued as NXT’s Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin staked their claim to the gold.
A huge brawl broke out before Santino Marella made a big announcement, backed up by Arianna Grace: Next week, it will be Ash & Heather By Elegance vs. Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin with Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson banned from ringside!
Mance Warner, accompanied by his girlfriend, Steph De Lander, took to the ring for action against El Paso’s own Magno. Warner made quick work of his opponent and scored the dominant victory with a knee strike.

Steve Maclin sent a clear message to Eric Young – he’s not joining The Northern Armory.

There was more fallout from the steel Cage match at Sacrifice as TNA World Champion Joe Hendry and Elijah battled The System’s Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers in the main event. Alisha would make her presence felt at ringside as she attacked Elijah while the referee’s back was turned. Elijah would create separation with a spinning neckbreaker to Eddie, which allowed him to tag in Hendry. The pace quickened as Hendry went on the attack. The System played the numbers game to their advantage while Elijah was laid out on the floor. Elijah neutralized Eddie with a running knee before Hendry put Myers away with the Standing Ovation.
