The design this year is sweet. Big upgrade on the logo as well. I hated the last one.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

A Tessa and Cora tandem? LFG!

What advantage is the winner getting? Is this War Games without a cage?

It's lethal lockdown, with a cage, but without the name

Nice!

I'm game. I guess this way we can get it without the every match in a cage stipulation.

They should just rename it the Ultimate Sacrifice.

Excited for this show and Excited for the PLE!!

TNA iMPACT! Preview: March 13, 2025​

Preview / March 12, 2025 / by TNA Wrestling Staff

With Sacrifice just 24 hours away, the battle lines are drawn, and the war for dominance in TNA continues. Don’t miss a moment of the action, this Thursday at 8/7c on AXS TV in the US, Sportsnet 360 in Canada, and TNA+ around the world!

The reigning TNA World Champion Joe Hendry is set to put his gold on the line just one night before heading into war inside the Steel Cage at Sacrifice. With challengers lining up, Hendry faces an unknown opponent in what could be a dangerous night for the champion. Will Hendry enter Sacrifice still holding the richest prize in TNA?

The war between Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich and Cora Jade reaches a boiling point as they collide in tag team action ahead of their title match at Sacrifice. Slamovich teams up with the rising star Léi Yǐng Lee, while Jade has found an unlikely ally in Tessa Blanchard, who has her own issues with Lee. Will the champion and her partner stand tall, or will Jade and Blanchard show they are a dangerous duo?

The stakes are massive in this clash, as Eddie Edwards takes on Leon Slater with the winning team earning the man advantage for the 10-Man Steel Cage Match at Sacrifice. Edwards, representing The System, has been at the forefront of their campaign to take over TNA. Meanwhile, Slater looks to give his team, including TNA World Champion Joe Hendry and TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys, a crucial edge heading into battle. Which team will gain the upper hand heading into Sacrifice?

With their highly personal match set for Sacrifice, Mustafa Ali and Mike Santana will engage in a special Summit on TNA iMPACT!. Ali has made Santana’s life miserable for weeks, including forcing him to take a drug test at Ali’s request. Santana, meanwhile, has fought back at every turn. What will happen when these two come face to face in the iMPACT Zone?

NXT’s Wes Lee, flanked by Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe, will step into the iMPACT! Zone against one of TNA’s most exciting high-flyers, Laredo Kid. Lee has been at odds with Ace Austin and The Rascalz, but Thursday on iMPACT!, his focus is on picking up a win before his six-man tag at Sacrifice. Can Laredo Kid pull off an upset, or will Lee show why he’s one of NXT’s finest?

After suffering a tough loss last week, Xia Brookside is back in action, but she faces an ominous challenge in Rosemary. The Demon Assassin has been lurking in the shadows, watching the Knockouts division closely. Will Rosemary unleash chaos, or can Brookside find a way to earn a big win?

The System’s rising force, JDC, steps into action against Cody Deaner, a veteran looking to prove he can still hang with the best in TNA. JDC has been gaining momentum, but Deaner is known for his unpredictable, scrappy style. Can Deaner pull off an upset, or will JDC continue his rise under The System’s banner?​

 

[Sky]

JDC vs. Cody Deaner is genuinely the most uninspiring match you could put on with the current TNA roster and they did it.

 

[OsBlaze]

Ooh this definitely is the show I'm thinking of where the one spoiler I remember lol.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I'll never get the Cody hate. I'm glad he's finally booked again. And JDC is actually doing something interesting for once. He's not just being goofy. I've been enjoying him lately.
