TNA Revolt 2026 is correct across the corner, with the corporate presenting one other episode of “Impact” on the best way there. It wasn’t a wholly uneventful show, though who could blame you for getting a way of deja vu through the principal event, which saw The Righteous unsuccessfully challenge Matt and Jeff Hardy for the TNA World Tag Team Championship again.
Not every little thing from tonight’s show can be covered here, with moments like Elayna Black’s match against Myla Grace and the Mustafa Ali promo segment left to our “Impact” results page. As an alternative, we have you covered with our favourite and least favorite moments from the newest episode. Below you will find our thoughts on the opening promo segment, the departure of Dani Luna, a lengthy Rosemary backstage segment, and more.
It’s protected to say TNA is a divisive company in the mean time, so go ahead and browse our thoughts before sharing your personal within the comments. We’ll meet you back here next week to try the fallout from this weekend’s Revolt.
Loved: There was no redundancy between Eddie Edwards and Mike Santana
Tonight’s show kicked off with a contract signing between challenger and The System’s leader in Eddie Edwards and the present reigning and defending two-time TNA World Champion, Mike Santana. I actually dug their exchange for 2 reasons: there was depth, and the content of their banter didn’t focus on Santana’s past addictions.
A few of Santana’s recent opponents have targeted their verbal onslaughts towards “The Realest’s” personal struggles. But this one felt more real, within the sense that Edwards didn’t carry the redundancy torch. As an alternative, he selected to remind the fans that the champion that they adore abandoned them once to see if the grass was truly greener on the opposite side. Working example, Edwards taunted Santana by mentioning how he couldn’t hang with the large boys in AEW. Then, he mentioned The Inner Circle, which was strategic in his debate. It wasn’t, “Hey, you have got addiction issues. You’ll be able to’t handle the pressure to stay the corporate’s top champion.” It was more so, “You thought the grass was greener elsewhere, and look what happened? You tucked your tail between your legs, and got here back home after considering you were higher than the corporate that helped turn you right into a household name.” It was a pleasant touch toward Edwards’ awareness.
As for Santana’s rebuttal, he described how his heart remained in TNA even while he was away. A very good knee-jerk response, but did that carry any substance? Not to say, he threw in a verbal punch of his own, describing how Alisha left her husband’s faction in support of Moose, whom they physically kicked out. I liked how that got under Edwards’ skin, despite his “nothing can faze me” demeanor he carries.
Overall, a breath of fresh air on how you could find other ways to verbally low-blow any person!

Hated: Dani Luna can be missed
Even though it was revealed earlier this month that Dani Luna had departed TNA, her final match with the promotion got here during tonight’s taped show. It was a solid match that ended with Luna’s defeat by the hands of Jada Stone, and though it was a comparatively minor a part of the episode, Luna’s overall absence leaves a big hole within the Knockouts division.
She’s been a part of the promotion for the reason that middle of 2023, with two tag title reigns under her belt. Although her best work has been done on the independent scene moderately than in TNA, Luna has also had some strong matches in the corporate, with opponents like Indi Hartwell and Lei Ying Lee. In hindsight, it probably would’ve benefitted TNA to place the Knockouts Championship on Luna in some unspecified time in the future up to now, but what’s done is finished.
Luna is a tremendous talent, and hopefully she’s going to get picked up by one other promotion soon. Personally, I feel she’d make a very good addition to AEW’s roster, as packed because it is. If not there, Luna has history in WWE, having previously been an element of the NXT UK roster. Wherever she lands, she should not have any problem finding success, and it will likely be TNA who’s left wishing they’d done more to maintain her around.

Loved: A silly little video
I can be the primary to confess that the video of a baby in a graveyard leading Elijah to his father’s grave just for it to be revealed that Frankie Kazarian had paid the kid to steer Elijah to him was incredibly unserious. At its heart, it was a bunch of goofy nonsense and didn’t really have that big of an impact on the remaining of the show as an entire outside of adding something else to the storyline to the Revolt match between Elijah and Kazarian.
As a rule, I find myself becoming bored at any time when I watch “Impact”, and this edition was no different. Nevertheless, this video ended up being the thing on this show that was essentially the most interesting for me purely due to its comedic value and the way different it was from the rest that was on this show. It made for a very good laugh, and slot in pretty much with Kazarian’s character on condition that he would absolutely bribe a baby to steer certainly one of his opponents straight to him in order that he could hit them with a rock and send him crashing right into a tree. I also didn’t mind the in-ring encounter between Kazarian and Elijah after Kazarian had defeated BDE. While it’s somewhat unbelievable that Elijah recovered as quickly as he did from his attack, it was a pleasant little tie in to have him get his revenge against Kazarian and an additional little added little bit of fun to every little thing.

Hated: Mistaken time for a tag title match
On March 5, The System’s Bear Bronson and Brian Myers earned a TNA World Tag Team Championship opportunity by besting The Righteous (Dutch and Vincent), BDE and Wealthy Swann, and Sinner & Saint (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams) in a four-way primary contender’s match. Yet, it’s not until April 11, greater than a month later, that they are officially receiving their title shot. Also yet, they’re receiving it after The Righteous got one themselves.
Logic would dictate that The System members get their tag team match before The Righteous, whom they already defeated within the aforementioned contender’s match. In any case, what is the point of winning if the losers are going to get a championship match themselves anyway?
To honor the match’s result, I might argue that The System must have challenged The Hardy Boyz, the reigning tag champions, on tonight’s episode of “Impact.” Beyond that, the dynamic of The System vs. The Hardy Boyz appears healthier for television than a TNA pay-per-view, on this case Revolt. The Righteous vs. The Hardy Boyz, meanwhile, screams pay-per-view worthy, especially considering it got here with the added stipulation of Tables.
Generally, fans seem more invested in The Hardy Boyz’ storyline with The Righteous as compared to that involving The System. That serves as further reason to book The Hardy Boyz vs. The System (assuming Myers and Bronson lose) before The Righteous vs. The Hardy Boyz, which in theory would respectively unfold at Revolt, a much larger platform. The match stipulation attached to The Righteous vs. The Hardy Boyz also feels misplaced for a television broadcast as those more hardcore conditions are typically reserved for PPV.

Loved: Things get weird within the Undead Realm
One other week of TNA programming and once more it was a six-minute backstage segment that managed to be essentially the most compelling, with Rosemary and Allie’s latest chapter of the latter’s resurrection being written.
Allie has the unenviable task of retconning her own storyline death after returning to the corporate after years as The Bunny in AEW. But thankfully she knows a lady – Rosemary – who knows a man – James Mitchell – who can assist in that regard. Rosemary enlisted Mara Sade this week with that in mind, telling her that they were collecting sins before introducing her to the (spirit of?) Allie, who deadpan told her that she’s dead and is getting type of sick of it. And as Sade replied, that’s pretty valid.
Enter Tessa Blanchard and her Diamond Collective pals, Victoria Crawford and Mila Moore, having also found their way into the “Undead Realm.” Moore and Crawford did a little bit of walking about and searching scared-meets-grossed out by the situation, while Blanchard was met by Mitchell to speak in riddles and explain where it’s she has found herself – even when she didn’t want nor care to listen.
After which before long Rosemary and Mitchell were together and she or he was asking for a favor one can only assume involves bringing her friend back to life. In fact, Mitchell said that will come at a price, but Rosemary seemed to be ahead of that as she gestured towards Abyss, making a cameo and asking “The Father” to absolve him of his sins. I’m taking that to mean that Abyss, as an inactive WWE producer, is being exchanged for the soul of Allie, presumably in order that the three of her, Rosemary, and Sade can actually feud with the Diamond Collective in the true world.
But the actual fact of the matter is, whichever the direction, this storyline has managed to be essentially the most intriguing a part of “Impact” in recent memory. Perhaps that’s an indictment on the general quality of this system, but there’s something almost paying homage to Lucha Underground on this particular storyline, and it’s the closest thing to a coherent story on the show. It hooks me every week and manages to create questions as to what is going to unfold the subsequent week, and that is all I can really ask for from a TV show.

Hated: It didn’t feel like a go-home episode
As we all know, tonight’s show was the go-home resulting in TNA’s upcoming pay-per-view event, Revolt, in lower than 48 hours. While there have been so many great segments tonight (the Rosemary vignette, Mike Santana – Eddie Edwards segment, the Tables Match principal event, and Mustafa Ali losing his shoes), it lacked the finesse one would expect for a go-home show.
For some reason, I imagine the matches were so much shorter than they need to have been. Sure, not everyone wants to take a seat through a 20-minute to an hour-long match (unless you are like me, and revel in NJPW); nonetheless, it seemed that almost all of the 4 matches were done either before the subsequent business break or shortly thereafter. I wish there was somewhat more time, especially in Dani Luna’s last official match in the corporate, or within the table match principal event. I might’ve appreciated it if The Hardys and The Righteous could have had a go for greater than quarter-hour. Stylized matches like theirs deserve more time.
I get that every one of the abilities must be in fine condition ahead of Saturday, but to me, tonight felt like just one other weekly episode of “Impact.” I wish we could have gotten more in-ring matches to reinforce the thrill for what’s to come back this weekend.
