TNA iMPACT! Preview: February 6, 2025​

Preview / February 5, 2025 / by TNA Wrestling Staff

It’s a loaded TNA iMPACT! from San Antonio, TX this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV in the US, Sportsnet 360 in Canada, and TNA+ around the world.

Less than one week after his historic appearance in the WWE Royal Rumble match, the reigning TNA World Champion, Joe Hendry, will perform one of his signature live concerts to kick off iMPACT. What will unfold this Thursday night?

Last week’s iMPACT! main event saw Nic and Ryan Nemeth topple FIR$T CLA$$ in a hard-hitting tag team bout. Then, the official liaison between TNA and NXT, Arianna Grace, awarded Nic and Ryan with an NXT Tag Team Title opportunity against the reigning champions, Fraxiom. The blockbuster showdown is set to go down this Thursday as Nic and Ryan look to bring NXT gold to TNA Wrestling!

Two weeks ago, TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys reignited their rivalry with The System, defeating X-Division Champion Moose and JDC in tag team action. One week later, Leon Slater was bested by Brian Myers after falling victim to the numbers game played by The System. Following a backstage confrontation, the odds are now even in this 6-man tag team clash: The Hardys and Leon Slater will battle The System’s Moose, JDC and Eddie Edwards this Thursdy on iMPACT!

Who will be next in line to challenge Masha Slamovich for the Knockouts World Championship? That question will be answered this Thursday when top Knockouts collide in a Battle Royal! The winner will earn a coveted Knockouts World Title opportunity next week on iMPACT.

After setting his sights on the TNA World Championship, Mike Santana was interrupted by Mustafa Ali, who upstaged Santana upon making his return to TNA. But after Ali turned down a match with Santana, he promised to find someone who was “Alwayz Ready” for action – Matt Cardona! This Thursday, Santana will go 1-on-1 with Cardona in a can’t-miss contest.

Ace Austin was unable to overcome the odds against NXT’s Wes Lee last week following involvement from Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe at ringside. Now Austin is out for revenge as he battles Tyson Dupont this Thursday!

Eric Young shocked the world when he turned his back on Josh Alexander, joining forces with the group that Alexander once led, The Northern Armory! This Thursday, we’ll hear from Young for the first time since his shocking actions. What will the “World Class Maniac” have to say?​

Please don't make this a VBD reunion, that was great and all but it's done

 

[Chris]

Unless Joe doering can come back then I'd take it

@Smart Marx I might be a little late to Impact tonight. Athena is gonna be on ROH, so I'm watching to see her. But if she returns before 8, I should be here on time.

@Smart Marx I might be a little late to Impact tonight. Athena is gonna be on ROH, so I'm watching to see her. But if she returns before 8, I should be here on time.

If you’re game why don’t we just both watch impact at 11?

I’m gonna be running late myself anyway, so go ahead and finish up ring of honor and we’ll meet up later.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I kind of feel like violent by design had far more in the tank. It kind of got their knees cut out for them too early because of extenuating circumstances, but that being said, I assume it’s gonna be more about world elite style team, Canada thing.

That being said, I know other people don’t seem to like Cody Deaner but I think he’s very good in a heel role and was very well done with the design so if he wanted to join the northern Armory I’d be 100% for it cause he’s from Canada too.

I might can I don't know, I'm not wanting to stay up to late tonight I got plans tomorrow that I was suppose to do today but couldn't. But I think I can maybe stay up til like 1 or so maybe yeah. Is 11 the earliest you can do it?

I can try for 10:30?

 

[OsBlaze]

I can try for 10:30?

That should work for me then yeah. They I guess normally will have the episode up right away yeah? cause that will be like 30 mins after it ends. I will have it pulled up and ready to hit play at 10:30 but I'll make sure you're here and ready also before I do.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Sounds like a plan.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I honestly wasn’t even thinking about Cody joining Eric in the northern armory but now that it’s been spoken into the ether, I really want it to come into existence.
