TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC Preview: April 30, 2026

Watch on AMC | Watch on TNA+

This week on Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC, emotions hit a breaking point as rivalries turn personal and the TNA International Championship is up for grabs following Mustafa Ali’s open challenge. Elijah battles Frankie Kazarian in a Guitar Strap Match, and Allie returns after her resurrection from the Undead Realm. Expect a volatile night from start to finish.

In the first-ever Walk with Elijah Guitar Strap Match, Elijah battles Frankie Kazarian with both men bound together by a 12-foot strap. After Kazarian’s cemetery attack and mocking in-ring concert impersonation, this rivalry has turned deeply personal, and there will be no escape.

The Knockouts division continues to heat up as Allie, Rosemary, and Mara Sadé face Tessa Blanchard, Victoria Crawford, and Mila Moore. It marks Allie’s first match since her resurrection from the Undead Realm.

Jeff Hardy faces Vincent as the bad blood between The Hardys and The Righteous continues to grow following the shocking betrayal at Sacrifice 2026, where Matt Hardy was viciously attacked. After last week’s chaos involving Dutch, Jeff now looks to defend his brother and settle the score.

We’ll hear from TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater, who continues to build momentum inside the ring.

Mr. Elegance goes one-on-one with The Home Town Man after The Personal Concierge secured him an in-ring opportunity through Director of Operations Daria Rae. With eyes on making a statement, Mr. Elegance looks to turn the spotlight in his favor.

Watching now. The audio mix seems really strange, commentary is very quiet.

We start with Vincent vs Jeff Hardy. Jeff attacks Vincent to start off the match. Back and forth, but then Vincent takes over. Jeff goes for the Twist of Fate but seems to have a back injury. He does it again though. Nearfall. Vincent goes to the top rope... but the lights go off. Broken Matt Hardy is here, to a big pop! Lights go off again and Vincent is down. Jeff is on the top rope and hits a Swanton Bomb for the win. That was alright.

Next up is Mustafa Ali vs Adam Brooks. Ali is very impressive in the opening stretch of the match. Big boot from Brooks. They go outside. Ali hits a DDT to Brooks on the outside. Back in the ring, Ali goes up high but gets a fist from Brooks. Ali leaves the ring but Brooks hits a dive. Back in again. Wow, Brooks gets a nearfall after slamming Ali onto his knee. Ali briefly stares at Silva, then hits the 450 Splash for the win. Decent match.

EY segment. He challenges EY to a no DQ match.

Diamond Collective vs Sade, Rosemary and Allie. Jesus lol, who is screaming? Allie hits a codebreaker and gets the win. That was okay. It was nice to see Allie in the ring again.

Santino is no longer suspended. Nic Nemeth and KC Navarro get a tag title shot. Lei Ying Lee gets a title shot as well, with Xia Brookside banned from ringside.

Indi Hartwell promo, she is coming for Arianna Grace.

Mike Santana segment. He's interrupted by Nic Nemeth.

Daria Rae segment. Indi shows up but Daria reminds her that her contract is up soon.

Mr Elegance vs Home Town Man next. Mr Elegance wins, in what was a very stupid finish involving Ash. I'm surprised HTM had that much offence. Mr Elegance is "undefeated" but ehhh.

Shenanigans backstage involving Rosemary, Sade and Allie.

Lei Ying Lee interview at some bar. Lee doesn't want the title shot, and wants to go back to China. We have Tommy Dreamer showing up to do a pep talk.

Leon Slater promo. He'll become the longest reigning champ on May 15th. Lol now he's roasting Cedric Alexander. Cedric interrupts and announces they'll face each other on May 14th. Leon gets jumped by the System. Moose makes the save... very slowly... so that everyone can charge at him, 1 by 1. Lmfao Myers' pants were falling. Moose is about to spear Alisha, but Eddie gets her out of there.

Ryan Nemeth segment. He is having a moan... and AJ Francis is sitting with him, unamused. That was funny.

Main event time. They start off in the back. Lol Kaz takes the strap off? We also have some very relaxing background music. Lol, Kaz puts hand sanitiser in the eyes of Elijah. Eventually we're ringside (which is where I've lost interest). Damn, Kaz starts hitting Elijah with the strap. Okay Elijah wins. Meh honestly.

Overall, just a very mediocre show. I feel like they need a hot angle or a few additions to the roster, to spice things up. It's funny because AI slop segment aside, this week's NXT did exactly that. Next week's show has some title matches so it should be better, but do I really get my hopes up that they'll get the Knockouts title away from Arianna Grace? Ehhhh.
