The theme for The Rascalz hits and out comes Trey Miguel to the ring for the first match of the evening. The ABC entrance tune hits next and his partner, Ace Austin, joins him inside the squared circle. Their opponents, Moose and JDC of The System, make their way to the ring accompanied by Alisha Edwards.
Miguel and JDC kick things off for their respective teams. JDC controls the early action, isolating the left arm of The Rascalz member and focusing his offense on the limb. Miguel fights back and takes over. He then tags in Austin, who hits a double dropkick to JDC.
They deal with Moose and then hit a simaltaneous super kick to a seated JDC, Young Bucks-style. Miguel goes for a springboard off the ropes from the apron, but Alisha grabs his foot. Moose gets involved as well, leading to a baseball slide from JDC.
JDC then tags in Moose, and The System duo settle back into a comfortable offensive lead. Miguel is sent shoulder-first into the steel ring post as the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break.
When the show returns, JDC is dominating Miguel, again focusing his offense on the softened up arm of The Rascalz member as the crowd in attendance try and rally behind him. Moose tags in and adds to the punishment Miguel’s arm is enduring.
Austin eventually gets the much-needed hot tag from Miguel, and the ABC member immediately shifts the momentum in the match to his team’s favor. Miguel tags back in after they settle into a comfortable lead, but he walks into a powerbomb from Moose that allows The System to take right back over.
We see some more back-and-forth action leading to Alisha Edwards providing a distraction on the apron, as Brian Myers snuck in a finisher on Miguel, leading to JDC scoring the pinfall victory for The System team.
Winner: The System via Pinfall.
Myers and Eddie Edwards join Moose and JDC in the ring to celebrate.

A vignette airs with new comments from TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich, who is huffing and puffing into the mirror as she talks about her issues with Tessa Blanchard. “I’m not just ending your story. I’m the reason no one’s ever telling it again.”
As she continues to rant, quick-cut clips of her in action, as well as Blanchard, are shown. Tommy Dreamer ends up approaching Slamovich in front of the mirror, telling her “don’t ever doubt yourself, because [the fans] don’t either.” The show heads to another commercial break.
Backstage: Mike Santana

The show returns to a TNA Rebellion 2025 video package promoting the pay-per-view event coming up this weekend in Los Angeles, California. We then see Mike Santana sitting in a circle with a bunch of regular people.
Santana is asked if he wants to share after someone finishes up. He says he does. He talks about a great man once talking about “hard times” and the importance of staying true. He says anything he’s done in his life or career he’s stayed true to the people who matter to him.
He then talks about weakness. He brings up Mustafa Ali, a man who has made his presence felt in this very room. “Talk about weakness. That’s weakness. A man that can’t face the truth.” He says, “Come to think of it, Ali is the true addict. He’s addicted to Mike Santana.”
Santana continued, “He looks at someone like me, who has brought himself from the very bottom and rose and that’s gonna keep rising, he’s obsessed because he can’t stand the fact that he can’t control what’s meant to be. The fact that I’m gonna climb the ladder. I’ve said it once before, anything I do, I do it to be the best.”
He then began wrapping up his calmly spoken speech at the AA meeting. “What’s the definition of an addict? Someone who cannot admit that they have a problem. And another great man once also said sometimes you’ve got to become a monster to fight the monsters in the world.”
Finally, he finished with a message to his opponent at this weekend’s PPV. “At TNA Rebellion, Ali comes face-to-face with that monster. Ali comes face-to-face with the thing that he can’t stand. He’s gonna have no choice. He can’t run this time. It’s over. I’ll make sure. At TNA Rebellion, I fight. Fighting is all I know. Fighting is all we know. And I’m gonna keep fighting.” The show heads to another break.

When the show returns, Heather by Elegance, George Iceman and Maggie Lee are all backstage and nervous as they prepare for a Zoom call with Ash By Elegance.
They make the call, and as expected, Ash scolded them for getting her stuck in a fatal-four-way tag-title tilt at TNA Rebellion. She cuts her own version of a mini-Steiner math promo.

Back inside the Impact Zone, the three-woman trio from WWE NXT, Fatal Influence, make their way to the ring for the next match of the evening. “The Liaison” Arianna Grace joins Matthew Rehwoldt and Tom Hannifan on special guest commentary for this one.
Jacy Jane settles in the ring, with Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx hanging around at ringside. Her opponent, Rosemary, makes her way out. The bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Rosemary starts well, but Jane quickly takes over after some distractions at ringside.
Rosemary escapes a rear chin-lock, begins screaming like a crazy person, and fires up for an offensive comeback. She bites Jane’s fingers and then bites her face. Jane fights back with a big knee strike, but Rosemary rises up like The Undertaker.
She hits a reverse DDT for a close two-count. Rosemary fights back and gets Jane on her shoulders. Nyx hopes on the apron and helps Jane escape. Rosemary spears Nyx off the apron but then turns around into a discus punch from Jane for the 1-2-3.
Winner: Jacy Jayne defeated Rosemary via Pinfall.
After the match wraps up, all three members of Fatal Influence hit the ring and proceed to beat down Rosemary in three-on-one fashion. This continues until Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee run out to make the save.
The TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella makes his way out as Fatal Influence are retreating up the entrance ramp. He says he wants to make an announcement. He says at TNA Rebellion it will be Rosemary, Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Lee taking on Fatal Influence.

We cut to a cinematic experience-style segment, where the black-and-white colored “Willow the Whisp” version of Jeff Hardy is shown like a carnival leading, welcoming those arriving to The Hardy Compound.
The Nemeth Brothers of Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth pull up to The Hardy Compound gate. The show heads to a commercial break as we hear a sinister laugh in the background.

When the show returns, we see Willow twisting his two-toned umbrella and doing another psycho laugh. The Kendrick Lamar song “They Not Like Us” then plays. No, seriously. We proceed to see some fighting, some drowning, some attempted stealing of the TNA Tag-Team titles.
In fact, the titles needed to be replaced with a small dumbbell to match the weight so a bomb doesn’t go off. “Twinkle twinkle little star” in a horror movie style starts playing as some more insanity ensues.
Ryan Nemeth arrives at some movie theater and sees himself in a black-and-white silent film with some other random old dudes. He ends up on a couch as a Hardy kid scribbles in a notebook and pretends to be Ryan’s psychiatrist.
Ryan takes it totally serious like he’s in a trance, admitting all of his past embarrassments. He ends up crying. Now Reby Hardy makes her cameo, showing off her ability to play the piano. Ryan approaches her and gets into an argument with the young Hardy daughter.
Ryan Nemeth thanks the gothic baby and turns into a fake-Sting looking Crow-style goth guy. He stands in front of a tree to do a comedy roast set. Another Hardy kid who can barely speak ends up bantering with goth-Nemeth while the non-existent crowd is loudly boing him off-camera.
Now we see Matt Hardy drowning Ryan Nemeth. That was all apparently in his head? Nic Nemeth appears holding the TNA tag titles telling Matt not to do whatever he was planning to do. Matt swims out of the pool and heads after Nic, who runs off with the titles. Some Hardy kid grabs Nic from behind.
Nic shoves him down to the ground. The horror music intensifies and Matt Hardy appears and attacks Nic, only to be attacked by Ryan Nemeth from behind. Jeff Hardy appears and walks in slow-motion with white contact lenses in.
It was as nutty as it sounds, and as you probably expect if you’ve seen any Hardy Compound stuff in the past. It was also way longer than it needed to be, also probably as long as you’re expecting if you’ve seen any Hardy Compound stuff in the past.
Backstage: Ace Austin, Trey Miguel

When the show returns, Trey Miguel and Ace Austin are shown backstage. They talk about The System causing chaos as always. Austin says he can’t lean on Chris Bey, for obvious reasons.
Miguel mentions how they took out Zachary Wentz. Miguel grabs his cell phone and calls Sean Waltman. He says, “Hey O.G…Yeah, this is that call.”

The bell sounds and off we go. Blanchard immediately overwhelms Kate and takes the early offensive lead. Kate gets Blanchard’s attention with a chop that echoes throughout the building. Blanchard quickly makes her pay for it.
Blanchard continues to dominate for another minute or so, eventually hitting her finisher and then Masha Slamovich’s Buzzsaw finisher on Kate for the easy win.
Winner: Tessa Blanchard via Pinfall.
After the match, she glares into the camera, only to be attacked from behind by Slamovich. The TNA Knockouts Champion beats Blanchard down, secures her arm and cranks on it big time.
Slamovich ends up staring down Blanchard on the ground at ringside as her theme hits to wrap up the eventful post-match segment.

We see highlights from TNA Unbreakable of Steve Maclin becoming the first-ever TNA International Champion. After that, we cut to a cinematic experience-style segment, where Maclin is sitting at a camp fire having a drink with Eric Young.
Young congratulates him on winning the title and tells him this isn’t a threat, but he wants to make it clear this is the last time he’s going to offer his help. Maclin tells him he’ll see him in Los Angeles at TNA Rebellion and walks off.
Young throws some pictures and notes in the fire and doesn’t seem so high on Maclin after all. The show heads to another commercial break
Video: Joe Hendry
When the show returns, a quick video trailer airs promoting the TNA Rebellion 2025 pay-per-view this weekend in Los Angeles, CA.
After it wraps up, an extended video package airs showing Joe Hendry’s surprise appearance at WrestleMania 41 as Randy Orton’s opponent.

The “Call Your Shot” gauntlet winner, Frankie Kazarian, makes his way out and heads to the ring with his massive trophy in-hand. He settles inside the squared circle and is then joined by his partner for the final match of the evening, WWE NXT Superstar Ethan Page.
Elijah’s guitar strums and the crowd roars as he walks, like only Elijah can, down to the ring. The viral smash hit “I Believe in Joe Hendry” hits the house speakers next and everyone in the building stands on their feet and loudly sings along.
Hendry’s shoulder is heavily taped up, and bothering him so much at this point that he even struggled to do his dramatic turn to the camera for his ring entrance routine. The bell sounds to get the main event of the evening officially off-and-running.
Elijah and Kazarian kick things off for their respective teams. Elijah settles into the early offensive lead. After some more brief back-and-forth action, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as the bout continues.
When the show returns, Hendry is selling his shoulder while taking it to Kazarian. He tags in Elijah, who picks up where he left off, taking it to Kazarian in the corner of the ring. Page tags in and takes over, and he and Kazarian enjoy several minutes in the lead.
Elijah is left isolated in the ring and unable to tag. Several minutes later, he finally buys himself enough time to make the much-needed tag. Hendry comes in off the hot-tag selling his arm. He hits a fall-away slam and grabs it.
He grabs Page for one, struggles, but muscles him up and hits it. Hendry clutches his arm again. Kazarian tries to attack from behind as the legal man, but Hendry takes him out and goes for the cover, only to get a count of two.
Kazarian looks for Fade to Black, but Hendry escapes and rolls Kazarian up for a two-count. Kazarian hits a splash off the ropes and goes for a cover of his own, but he too only gets a two-count. Hendry hits a cutter to Kazarian off the ropes.
Joe tries for a Standing Ovation but is unable to lift Kazarian, leading to Elijah tagging himself in. Kazarian reaches for a tag, but Ethan refuses to tag in. Elijah then delivers the Highwayman’s Farewell to Kazarian and secures the victory.
Winner: Elijah & Joe Hendry via Pinfall.
