TNA Bound for Glory 2025 Live Results – Welcome to WrestlingAttitude’s coverage of TNA Bound for Glory 2025, live from the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Pre Show
There was a modest set-up for the Hall of Fame inductions, with a small podium in the back of the arena so it looked like they were surrounded by fans.
Tommy Dreamer inducts the Beautiful People into the TNA Hall of Fame
Dreamer is accompanied by Jazz and TNA President Carlos Silva. Dreamer is here to induct the Beautiful People despite being ugly because Billy Gunn was unavailable. Dreamer quickly brought out Angelina Love & Velvet Sky, who put a paper bag over Tommy’s head. This is a full-circle moment for the Beautiful People, who debuted at Bound for Glory in 2007. Love thanked all the women who were in the “Gauntlet for the Gold” match in 2007, and her trainer. She also thanked her trainer, Tommy Dreamer for hiring her (she was his first hire), and “Cute Kip” (aka Billy Gunn). She also thanked The Jarrett Family and Vince Russo, the composer who created their entrance music, and all the production people. Love introduced her family to the crowd and thanked them her support. She apparently bit her sister to get the remote back when she tried to change the channel from wrestling (wish I’d thought of that). She thanked the fans and her partner Velvet Sky, and turned the podium over to her.
Velvet Sky also thanked all the people behind the scenes, and again noted it was a full circle moment for her having gotten her start at Bound for Glory. She also thanked Dreamer and Terry Taylor, Jeff Jarrett and Vince Russo, Jeremy Borash, Mikey Tenay, Don West and Taz. She thanked her parents for their support when she left college to chase her dream as a pro wrestler, her trainer Jason Knight. She thanked Afa and his family for inviting her to wrestle on her WXW shows, where she won her first wrestling championship. Sky also thanked her partner, and told the young girls out there to never stop chasing their dreams. She thanked her extended family and the fans, her “Pigeon Army.” She led the crowd in a chant of “Let the pigeons loose!” to end her speech.
Lisa Marie Varon inducts Mickie James into the TNA Hall of Fame
Varon, who was very emotional, brought out a copy of the TNA Knockouts Championship. Varon wanted to be comfortable so she tossed her heels into the crowd. Varon threw her speech away and spoke from the heart about how James came into WWE “like a Tennessee Tornado.” They did whatever it took to prove that they weren’t just the best match “for a women’s match” but for the best match, period. Varon described James as a friend that is there, who shows up. Varon described Mickie James as a role model “not just in wrestling, but in life.” Honestly, even though she was very emotional, you couldn’t have asked for a better induction from Varon.
The crowd chanted “you deserve it!” for Mickie. James described TNA as “a family.” She thanked Jeff and Jerry Jarrett for taking a chance on “Alexis Laree” and thanked Raven, Julio and CM Park for her early days in TNA (the weekly-ppv days). That was her launching pad to WWE. She then thanked Dixie Carter for convincing her to come back to TNA in 2010 and reinvent herself as “Hardcore Country.” She praised TNA as a company in 2010 who didn’t just give women four minute matches, but main events. James got emotional talking about her last TNA run, how she came into a locker room feeling defeated but left feeling vindicated. She praised the loyalty of the TNA fanbase and the “Hardcore Country” fanbase. James thanked her parents for instilling her love for wrestling and not to listen to the naysayers who are afraid to go after your dreams. For her haters, fakers, and under-appreciators, she finished with the lyrics from her “Hardcore Country” song.
WWE could learn something from TNA about keeping these things short and to the point.
Tom Hannifan & Matthew Rehwoldt were on commentary for the pre-show match.
The IInspiration (Cassie Lee & Jessie McKay) vs. The Elegance Brand (M & Heather) (w/ The Personal Concierge) for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Title
Ash walked out with the Elegance Brand but adjourned to the back for the match. Heather and M jumped the IInspiration before the bell. M hit a Van Terminator style coast-to-coast dropkick on Cassie for a near fall. M tied Lee up in a bow-and arrow type move to allow Heather to come off the top with a double stop for another near fall.
Finally, McCay got the tag and ran wild on her opponents. She threw Ashley into M, then hit M with a boot so she DDT’d her partner. McCay caught a pump kick from M but kicked out at two. McKay ducked a shot from Ashley, who hit her partner. Then the IInspiration finished off M with the Idolizer and Lee got the pinfall.
After the match, TNA President Carlos Silva presented the IInspiration with their tag team title belts.
TNA Bound for Glory 2025 Live Results
The US Marines from “Recruiting Station Boston” present the colors and the National Anthem is played.
Steve Maclin vs. Frankie Kazarian for the TNA International Title
The anthem and the Marines led right into Steve Maclin’s entrance for the opening match, so it would have been booking malpractice for him not to win the title back. Maclin also has his mother and other friends and family at ringside.
Maclin started off fast against Kazarian. Kazarian caught Maclin with a guillotine legdrop, then hit him with a sunset bomb to the floor. This was barely a minute into the match. Kazarian sent Maclin into the steel stairs, then got into Maclin’s mother’s face. Kazarian offered mom a free shot, and she gave him a double bird instead. Maclin jumped Kazarian tossed him back into the ring.
Back in the ring, Maclin Kazarian with a Thez press. Maclin escaped a chicken wing attempt and caught Kazarian with an olympic slam. Maclin hung Kazarian into the ropes for a shoulder block. Kaz tried to duck it, but Maclin went for a chicken wing. Kazarian countered that into a cradle, but got caught using the ropes and the ref stopped her count. Kazarian tried for a springboard, but Maclin pulled him into a Boston Crab, that he refused to break right away.
Kazarian hit a Pelé kick and the Angle’s Wings for a near fall since stealing people’s moves is all the rage this weekend. Kazarian tried to go for an avalanche Fade to Black, but Maclin broke that up by biting Kazarian. Kazarian dodged a top rope headbutt, then caught Maclin with a cutter for a near fall. Kazarian hung Maclin upside down for a running shoulder block, but Maclin escaped, hung up Kazarian and hit him with the shoulder block. Maclin hit the KIA and got the pinfall to regain the championship.
Winner and NEW TNA International Champion: Steve Maclin
After the match, Maclin and his mother celebrated the title victory by flipping off the camera.
— Hannifan and Rehwoldt ran down the card. When Hannifan and Rehwoldt were running down the card, the only match that got a notable pop was Hardys/Team 3D.
— Trick Williams and his lawyer ran down the why he wears his championship belt upside down, and if there’s any shenanigans he’s lawyer will be laying down cases on the all the snitches.
Tessa Blanchard vs. Gia Miller
Miller came out with all kinds of intensity, while Blanchard was nonplussed. Miller wrestles “occasionally,” but this is her first match in TNA.
Blanchard offerend Miller a headlock. Which she took but Blanchard quickly escaped. Blanchard turned her back and Miller got a quick cradle on her for another near fall. Blanchard then snapped Miller’s neck against the ropes and stopped screwing around. Blanchard pressed Miller’s face into the steel stairs, then suplexed her on the stairs. Blanchard then drug beat on Miller in front of her family, seated at ringside.
Back in the ring, Blanchard distracted the ref so Crawford could get a shot in. Blanchard hit Miller with a superkick. Crawford interfered in front of the referee, who ejected Crawford. Blanchard dumped Crawford to the floor. Security tried to escort Crawford away, but Blanchard interfered. Threat then came off the top with a forward moonsault to take out everybody. Threat chased Crawford to the back.
Back in the ring, Miller made a comeback. She hit a Thez press and monkey flipped Blanchard out of the corner. She went for a crossbody that missed badly, but Blanchard still sold it for a near fall. Miller walked into a boot and Blanchard worked her over with right hands in the corner. Miller countered by locking up Blanchard’s arms and hit her with a straight headbutt. Miller tried to power Blanchard out of the corner with a powerbomb, but Blanchard pulled a roll of quarters out of somewhere, knocked out Miller, and got the pinfall. Just like daddy taught her!
Winner: Tessa Blanchard
The TNA Injury Report:
- Team 3D and the Hardys are cleared, but the Matt Hardy is beat up.

Call Your Shot Gauntlet
20-person Intergender Gauntlet Match
Two wrestlers enter. After 2 minutes, a wrestle enters every 60 seconds. Eliminations occur by pinfall until the final 2 wrestlers are left. Then it’s a one-on-one match to determine a winner. And the winner gets a title shot at whatever championship they want for up to a calendar year.
Léi Yîng Lee was the first entrant by virtue of being the last person eliminated in a qualifying match a few weeks ago. Mara Sadé was the second entrant.
Léi Yîng Lee was the first entrant by virtue of being the last person eliminated in a qualifying match a few weeks ago. Mara Sadé was the second entrant. They did a basic babyface match for two minutes, teasing near eliminations. After two minutes (no gimmicked clock, or at least it was close enough for now), Ryan Nemeth was the 3rd entrant. The knockouts double-teamed Nemeth. Nic Nemeth was number 4 to a huge pop. Sadé dropped Nic with a superkick. Lee and Sadé tried to dump Nic, but Ryan made the save. Nic took out both women with a double clothesline.
Cedric Alexander came in at 5. Alexander dumped both Nemeths with German suplexes. Rich Swann of First Class was 6. Swann and Alexander had a great exchange, then Swann dug into Alexander’s face with an eye rake. Alexander responded with a big boot. AJ Francis was in next (at 7), and they missed an opportunity to show Francis and Swann buying consecutive numbers. Francis tossed Lee to the mat in an ugly visual. Francis then eliminated both Sadé and Lee. Francis then chokeslammed Swann (his partner!) Dumped him to the floor.
Travis Williams came in at 8 after winning a coin flip against his partner. The Nemeths teamed up against Williams while Alexander and Francis went at it in another corner. BDE is a “famous wrestling Youtuber,” in at #9. I’ve never heard of him. He did a spot with Francis and then ate a superkick from Nic Nemeth. Francis dumped The Rascals, all of them, came in at #10. BDE and the Rascals combined to superkick Francis out of the match.
Dani Luna came in at 11. She suplexed two of the Rascals. Williams and Luna did spots while everyone else laid around the ring out of their way. Eric Young was next as the twelfth entrant. He went after former partner Williams. Williams almost eliminated Young with a clothesline. They fought on the apron. Young lowblowed Williams, hit him with a piledriver on the apron, and dumped him for the elimination.
Jake Something came in at 13, shout out to Taylor Swift! Something and Luna powerbombed two of the Rascals. They tried to dump Trey Miguel and Myron Reed, but they skinned the cat back in. Young smacked BDE and eliminated him. Rosemary was next at 14. Miguel and Alexander were eliminated by Eric Young.
The Home Town Man came in at 15 with the UMass mascot. Something tried to hold the Home Town Man for the mist from Rosemary. But the Man ducked and Something got misted and eliminated. You could say he got… something in his eyes.
Zack Clayton (w/ Guido of the FBI) was next at 16. He hit Clayton hit the Home Town man with a powerslam and a clothesline. Dani Luna eliminated Rosemary, and the Man eliminated Luna. Jody Threat was in at 17. She ran around and around the ring until Frankie Kazarian floored her with a clothesline. She never got in the ring, so Frankie Kazarian took her spot, shoving Santino Marella in the process. So of course, Santino Marella was in at 18. Marella hit Kazarian with a clothesline, came in… and was instantly eliminated by Nic Nemeth. He wasn’t ready! But do you know who’s always read? Matt Cardona, who came in at 19 and eliminated Clayton. Cardona pulled Guildo into the ring and eliminated him, too.
Mance Warner came in with a Halloween party and his fiancé Steph DeLander. The other Rascals were eliminated while Warner made his entrance. DeLander gave Warner a steel chair. Everyone just let Warner hit them with the steel chair until Cardona caught him from behind.
Young tried to toss the Home Town Man, but he skinned the cat to stay alive. They fought out to the apron, and Young eliminated the Man with a low blow. Cardona took out Young, then tossed Warner as well.
This left Cardona alone with the Nemeths. The Nemeths double-teamed Cardona, who made his won comeback. Cardona tossed Ryan over the ropes but he stayed on the apron. Ryan held Cardona open for a superkick from Nic, but Cardona ducked and Ryan was eliminated BY HIS BIG BROTHER.
It looks like it’s Matt v. Nic Nemeth. DeLander and Mance Warner distracted Cardona, and Nic Nemeth dumped him over the top. Since Frankie Kazarian was never eliminated by Santino Marella, that meant Frankie Kazarian v. Nic Nemeth was the final two.
Nic and Kazarian wrestled for a bit, and eventually both men did a double-pin after a superplex. Santino Marella then announced both men won, which elicited a huge “bullsh!t” chant from the crowd. They tried to do a comedy spot with both of them trying to hold onto the trophy, but the crowd just booed all of this.
Winners: Nic Nemeth and Frankie Kazarian
What an absolute dumpster fire of a finish. The crowd was right to boo this.
Indi Hartwell v. Kelani Jordan for the TNA Knockouts World Championship
It took four flights for Hartwell’s parents to get here to see her get an opportunity for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
This was a very good babyface match to start, with both women going for near falls off cradles and dodging each other’s strikes early. Jordan hung up Hartwell in the ropes and came off with a legdrop for a near fall. Jordan hit Hartwell in the back with forearms and went for a suplex, but Hartwell escaped and caught Jordan with a spinebuster for a near fall. Hartwell hit Jordan with a boot for a near fall.
Hartwell stretched Jordan’s back across her knees, practically bending her in half. Jordan fought out and came out of the corner with a clothesline. They did “boo/yay” punches, with Hartwell getting the “yays!” Jordan hit a cartwheel back elbow. Hartwell went for a death valley driver, but Jordan escaped and hit a split jawbreaker for a near fall. Jordan locked in a half-crab, shoutout to Lance Storm! Hartwell eventually kicked out of that to escape.
Jordan came off the top with a crossbody, but Hartwell rolled through a powered Jordan up. Jordan turned that into small package for two. Hartwell and Jordan struggled to figure out a powerbomb, but eventually Hartwell hit the move for a near fall. Hartwell went for a boot, but Jordan caught it and hit a spinning kick. Jordan hit a frog splash for a near fall. Jordan kept trying to get the pin off that, but Hartwell kept kicking out.
Hartwell dropped to the floor. Jordan tried to follow, but Hartwell tripped her up. Hartwell hit Jordan with a boot. Back in the ring, Hartwell hit a top rope elbow for a near fall. Hartwell went for the Hurts Donut, but Jordan countered with a cradle. Hartwell caught Jordan with a Hurts Donut out of nowhere, but Jordan was too close to the ropes and broke the count. Hartwell went to the top again, but Jordan followed her up.
Jordan tried for a Spanish Fly, but Hartwell elbowed her down. Hartwell went for another top rope elbow, but Jordan ducked. Jordan then hit Hartwell with a split-legged moonsault, and got the pinfall.
Winner: Kelani Jordan
— The Nemeths and Frankie Kazarian were in the back arguing about who hasn’t been world champion and when they might call their shot.
10-Person Intergender Hardcore War
The System (Moose, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, and JDC) vs. Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent 0, Jason Hotch, and John Skyler)
This is War Games without the cage or double ring, but with weapons.
ason Hotch started out with a trash can against Eddie Edwards who came with his family, Wally the mascot of the Boston Red Sox, and a redo stick. Wally distracted Hotch by shaking his pelvis at him, allowing Edwards to hit Hotch with a dive to start the match. Hotch hit Edwards with a dropkick and went for a dive, but Edwards blocked that by throwing a trash can at his head. Edwards hit Hotch with chops that he sold like gunshots (cause they sounded like gunshots).
Jon Skyler was next with a steel chair,. Hotch hit Edwards with a spear and choked him with his t-shirt. The Great Hands hit Edwards with their finisher, the Favor (a combined blockbuster/Samoan drop). JDC came in next with a Patriots helmet. Edwards put the steel chair over Skyler’s crotch, and JDC hit the chair with the football helmet. JDC followed the Great Hands out to the floor with a dive.
Skyler came up busted open, and JDC pulled a cheese grater out from under the ring and used it to work over the cut.
Tasha Steelz came in with a Yankees jersey and a bat for her weapon. Skyler was a bloody mess and the front row was concerned. Alicia Edwards came out with her kendo stick. Edwards cracked Steelz in the head. Edwards tried to grab Alicia and caught a kendo stick in the bean.
Eddie Edwards pulled out a stable gun. He stapled Skyler in the face, JDC stapled Hotch in the crotch, and Alicia stapled Steelz in the derrière.
Agent Zero was next for Order 4. He press-slammed JDC and tossed Eddie Edwards into the ringside stairs. Zero tossed the top half of the stairs at Eddie’s head. Zero is wrestling in tights and it’s rough a 1000% improvement for his look. Brian Myers came out next, without a weapon. Zero didn’t have a weapon, either. Myers tried to use one of the trash cans around ringside, but Zero just put him dow with a boot. Zero dumped Myers with a hanging tree slam on the trash can.
Alicia rolled into the ring and found herself surrounded by Order 4 as Mustafa Ali was the last entrance for his team, brining a sledgehammer with him.
Eddie Edwards saved his wife momentarily from an attack from Order 4. The Great Hands and Ali dropkicked JDC in the corner. Moose entered last for his team, with a chair. The Great Hands came for Moose in the entrance and he destroyed them. Ali tried to catch Moose with a dive, but he caught him and powerbombed him on the apron. Moose stood one-on-one with Agent Zero. After a pretty even standoff, Zero was able to dump Moose to the floor. All the members of Order 4 and the System brawled on the floor, and Zero came over the top rope with a dive onto everyone.
Back in the ring, Steelz pulled out a kendo stick rapped in barb wire. Alicia Edwards dumped tacks in the ring. Alicia Edwards hit Steelz with the kendo stick to get rid of her. Alicia found herself alone in the ring… with Agent Zero, who gave her a hanging tree slam into the thumbtacks. JDC and Myers went after pro with kendo sticks, and Moose rapped himself in the chair to spear Agent Zero.
Eddie tried to check on Alicia, but Ali hit him with a steel car and dumped him. Ali dumped more thumbtacks on Alicia Edwards. Ali went for the 450, but Alicia rolled out of the way and Ali dove right into the tacks.
Eddie Edwards came back up and wrapped his knee in barb wire. Edwards leveled Ali with a Boston Knee Party wrapped in barbed wire, and got the pinfall.
Winners: The System
TNA X-Division Championship
Leon Slater (c) vs. Je’Von Evans
The crowd was wild for this before they even touched, cheering and chanting “This is awesome!” Both guys teased big strikes against the other, than mocked their opponent for covering up in panic. Slater caught Evans with a small package for a near fall, after like six counters and reversals. Evans used a go-behind to get some riding time, but Slater was quick to power up. Finally Slater shoved Evans hard when he was backed against the ropes, and things tarted to get less friendly.
Slater caught Evans with a chop, but Evans fired back. Evan sent Slater to the floor and followed him out with a tope. Slater shoved Evans off the ropes when eh went for a springboard, then followed him out with a dive. Back in the ring, Slater hit a crossbody for two.
Slater hit deliberate chops on Evans to slow down the pace. Evans ducked a kick, caught Evans with a step springboard rana, and a dropkick. Evans caught Slater with an over the ropes plancha, then came back in the ring with a springboard clothesline on Slater for a near fall.
Evans hit a suplex and then immediately kipped up. Evans ducked an enziguri but Slater hit a heel kick on the rebound. Slater followed up with a springboard back elbow. Slater caught Evans with a flying boot for a near fall. Slater hit a slingshot cutter for a near fall. Evans went to the top for something, but Slater blocked it and they fought to the apron. Evans tried a suplex, but Slater escaped and tried for the slingshot cutter again, but this time Evans countered it into a spinning DDT that sent Slater across the ring. Evans then hit an out of the ring springboard cutter but smacked his tailbone against the ring apron and he probably hurt himself legit. Evans struggled to get to his feet. Slater slid in, and Evans came off the top with a splash. Evans then hit a second top rope splash from across the ring and only got two.
Slater caught Evans with a boot, Evans responded with a forearm, and Slater hit another kick. Evans hit a rana with a cradle for near fall. Evans came off the ropes with a springboard right into a flying hangman’s neckbreaker from Slater.
Both men struggled to get to their feet, exchanging strikes along the way. Slater wore out Evans with chops. Slather left himself open for a chop from Evans, so Evans hit him with a cutter, then another springboard cutter, but Slater kicked out at two.
Evans went to the top, but Slater caught him with an enziguri and followed him up top. They fought and both guys jumped to the floor on opposite sides of the corner. Slater tried for a springboard off the barricade, but Evans shoved him into the crowd. Evans then hit a running dive over the barricade onto Slater in the crowd. Evans jumped the rail, and Slater followed hitting his own dive over the barricade as the bell rang to signify the time limit for the match had expired.
TNA has time limits?
Santino Marella came out and announced they would have five more minutes.
Slater hit Evans with Utopia, and Evans slid to the floor. Slater followed him with his over the post dive. Slater went to the top, but Evans jumped up and pulled Slater down with Spanish Fly. Evans went for the cover… and the lights went out. Dark State ran in and attacked both Slater and Evans. Dark State gave Slater and Evans double-team power bombs. The crowd chanted “F*ck these guys!” in an example of probably the wrong kind of heat. That’s a TV finish, not a pay-per-view finish.
They did a time limit draw to tease a non-finish, restart the match, and then deliver the non-finish anyway.
Chris Bey returned to TNA. Chris Bey announced that TNA has set a new attendance record of 7,794. I’m sure we’re all going to wait for the turnstyle count to verfiy that number.
“One Final Table” for the TNA World and NXT Tag Team Championships
The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) (c) vs. Team 3D (Bully Ray and Devon)
Brother Runt (aka Spike Dudley) came out and gave Team 3D their Dudley glasses. The crowd chanted “ECW!” for the reunited Dudley Boyz. The Hardys brought a ladder and a steel chair with them.
The Dudleys dumped Jeff to the floor and hit Matt with a 3D right away. Jeff tried to go at the Hardys 2-on-1. He tried for the Whisper in the Wind, but the Dudleys did their best impersonation of Samoa Joe and walked away from Jeff. D-Von gave Jeff that “Wassup???” headbutt. The crowd called for D-Von to get the tables and Bubba’s direction. The Dudleys gave Jeff the 3D through the table, and now the Dudleys are halfway to winning the match.
Matt came back in with the steel chair. Matt was able to send Bubba to the floor on a miscommunication. Matt and D-Von brawled on the floor.
On the floor D-Von took too long setting up a table, and Matt caught D-Von with the Twist of Fate. Matt set up D-Von for an elbow through the table, but D-Von got out of the way and Matt went though the table. But Matt isn’t eliminated since he wasn’t “put through” the table.
Jeff came back and took out Bubba Ray with a clothesline off the apron. D-Von dragged Jeff around the other side of the ring. Back in the ring, Bubba set up a table in the corner. Matt dodged a charge from Bully, who bounced into the table but didn’t break it. Back to D-Von and Jeff, and D-Von hit Jeff with a table. D-Von climbed a ladder set up in the aisle way (to dive onto Jeff through a table), but Matt climbed up the other side of the ladder and cut him off. The Hardys set D-Von up on the table. Jeff hit a senton off the top of the ladder through the tables, but he came up a little short. His legs hit D-Von (which we’re gonna count as D-Von going through the table) and I think he might have clipped the back of his head against the ladder, too.
This leaves Matt or Bubba as the last guy man to eliminate.
Back in the ring, The Hardys go after Bubba with steel chair shots. They set up another table. Jeff held open Bubba for a chair from Matt, but when Matt through it Bubba ducked and he hit Jeff. Bubba tried to powerbomb Jeff through a table, but Matt moved it. The Hardys regained the advantage, and Jeff hit Bubba with a swanton bomb.
More chair shots for Bubba from the Hardys, as D-Von was done and Bubba was struggling to get to his feet. Bubba looked defeated; he knew he was done. The Hardy threw down their chairs, and Bubba offered no resistance as the Hardys grabbed him for a double-team uranagi through one final table to end the feud.
Winners: The Hardys
After the match, Carlos Silva presented the Hardys with their tag team title belts. The Hardys helped Bubba Ray to his feet, and eventually D-Von got back to the ring as well. The four men shared an embrace in the ring. The crowd chanted “Thank You Dudleys!” The Hardys were about to leave, but the Dudleys pulled them back into the ring. The Dudleys then took their wrestling boots off in the middle of the ring, signaling the end of their in-ring careers. The Dudleys then handed their boots to the Hardy Boys. Both teams embraced as the crowd cheered. The Dudleys walked off into the sunset one last time while the Hardys celebrated in the ring.
The match was what it was, but the post-match was tremeounds.
— Genesis is coming to Dallas in January, 2026.
TNA World Championship
Trick Williams (c) vs. Mike Santana
Santana found Konnan while running around the crowd for his entrance. The crowd was insanely into both men’s entrances and this had a big fight feel. Williams grabbed the house mic from the ring announcer before she could announce his presence, then told Santana he would “beat his a$$ like the Boston Red Sox” and did his own ring announcement. Santana cut him off with a right hand and the match unofficially began with a brawl on the floor.
Santana and Williams fought into the crowd. Williams tried to use a trash can on Santana, but that backfired and he would up covered in trash. They brawled back to the ring area, and Santana dumped Williams onto the ring apron with a back suplex. Santana took a minute to celebrate with a fan, and this gave Williams the opening to hit Santana with the title belt.
Back in the ring, the referee started the match. Williams hit a Trick Kick and got a near fall. Williams followed that up with a death valley driver for another near fall. Williams dropped Santana with a flapjack. Williams hit a spin kick and a jumping neckbreaker for another near fall.
Williams hit Santana with a backhand, which only fired up Santana. But Santana charged at Williams and got backdropped to the floor. Back to the floor, Williams used a slingshot to send Santana into the ringpost headfirst. Santana came up bloody, and Williams slammed him on the floor. Williams tried to drive the steels stairs into Santana, but he got out of the way. Santana hit a superman forearm, but Williams backdropped Santana on the steel stairs.
On the floor, Williams whipped Santana into the ring barricade, then took Santana over to his daughter so she could watch him take a beating. Williams asked Santana’s daughter who her daddy was… and she slapped Trick! Stunned, Williams walked into a tope from Santana.
Back in the ring, Santana caught Williams with a powerbomb for a near fall. Santana went to the top again as the crowd did dueling chants for Santana and Williams. Santana hit a 450 splash for a near fall.
Trick’s lawyer came out to distract Santana. Santana went for his discus lariat, but Williams ducked it and hit a pair of uranagis. Williams went to the top, but this Santana caught him. Williams battle through and drove Santana to the mat with a avalanche uranagi! But it only got Williams a near fall.
Williams grabbed his title belt and went for a wild swing, but Santana ducked and rolled up Williams for two. After some more counters, Santana hit the discus lariat, but it only got two. The lawyer got up on the apron again, and this time Santana pulled him in the ring and gave him a discus lariat. Williams caught Santana with a Trick Shot, but it only got two. Santana crawled up, looking at his daughter in the crowd. Williams charged in for another Trick Shot, but Santana ducked. Santana blocked another uranagi, hit a flying lariat, and finally, finally, FINALLY hit the discus lariat and got the pinfall to bring the TNA World title home to TNA.
Winner and NEW TNA World Champion: Mike Santana
As Carlos Silva is walking in to award the belt to Santana, Nic Nemeth came out to cash in his stupid title shot. But the lights dropped. When they came back up, Elias was behind Nemeth, and he took him out with a chair shot. Frankie Kazarian came in to also try and cash in, but he could’t since he didn’t have the trophy. So Santana took him out with a lariat. And then after the match, Santana got to hand the TNA World title to his daughter. None of that nonsense with Nemeth and Kazarian was necessary.
Mike Santana is the first TNA World Champion of Puerto Rican heritage.
