The February 5 episode was up in metrics across the board. “iMPACT” was up 33 percent over the trailing 4 weeks average viewership of 182,000, and 25 percent in the common rating of 0.04. The debut episode of the show averaged just 173,000 viewers, even with an advertised appearance by TNA legend AJ Styles.
The recent episode of the show saw Trey Miguel get a victory over Adam Brooks, and The Righteous defeat TW3 and Tommy Two Scoops. Steve Maclin, who received a pink slip throughout the Feast or Fired match just a few weeks prior, possibly revealed he just isn’t leaving TNA despite what he earned within the briefcase within the unique stipulation match, as he blindsided TNA World Champion Mike Santana after saying “goodbye.” The most important event of the show resulted in a brawl after Santana was attacked by The System, then saved by The Hardys and Moose.
