TNA Thursday Night Impact Results 6/18 - Indi Hartwell Faces Elayna Black & More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "TNA Thursday Night Impact" on June 18, 2026, coming to you from the National Western Center in Denver, Colorado!

Indi Hartwell will be in action as she goes head-to-head with Elayna Black. Tensions between the two women have been on the rise over the last few weeks, meeting one another in a match on the May 21 episode of "Thursday Night Impact" in a match that ended with Arianna Grace pushing Hartwell off the top rope due to her association with Grace's father and TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella.

Ricky Sosa inadvertently helped Mike Santana retain the TNA World Championship against Eric Young during last Thursday's edition of "Thursday Night Impact" when he appeared on the entrance ramp to distract Young. Moments after the match came to an end, Nic Nemeth confronted Santana to inform him that he planned to cash in his Call Your Shot Gauntlet to challenge him for the TNA World Championship at TNA Slammiversary on June 28. Not only will Santana be joining forces with KC Navarro and Nic to square off against Order 4's Jason Hotch, John Skyler, and TNA International Champion Mustafa Ali in a six man tag team match, but Sosa will also be in action tonight against an opponent who has yet to be announced.

Another six man tag team is also set for tonight, as The System's Eddie Edwards and TNA World Tag Team Champions Bear Bronson and Brian Myers take on "Broken" Matt Hardy, Brother Nero, and Moose. With Eddie and fellow System member TNA X-Division Champion Cedric Alexander having scored a win over Leon Slater and Fabian Aichner last Thursday, The System looked to continue beating down Slater until Moose came to Slater's aid and subsequently informed Eddie of their match at Slammiversary.

Additionally, Xia Brookside will be making an appearance on tonight's show before she challenges former best friend Léi Yǐng Lee for the Knockouts World Championship at Slammiversary. Frankie Kazarian will also be hosting an episode of "The Kings Speech With Frankie Kazarian".

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping some of the events from last Thursday's show.

Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt then greet audiences at home as Xia Brookside makes her way to the ring.

Brookside says the fans thing she actually did something wrong and treat her like she committed a big, unforgivable crime because she turned her back on Léi Yǐng Lee. She says The Angel Warriors were about her becoming a star, but it became about Lee and she should've gone solo a long time ago. She says her favorite part was Lee cried when she betrayed her, but Lee never saw her coming because she's not smart. She says she'll take what should've been hers a long time ago at Slammiversary: the Knockouts World Championship.

Lee's music hits and she makes her way out. She tells Brookside that she treated her like a little sister, fought beside her, and trusted her. She says she sees who Brookside is now and calls her both a snake and a rat, but Brookside tells Lee to watch her mouth.

Lee and Brookside begin brawling with one another, but security guards run out to the break to pry apart the two women. Brookside breaks free and continues brawling with Lee, but security separates the two women once again.

We then head backstage, where Gia Miller asks Mike Santana his thoughts about Daria Rae saying that himself, KC Navarro, and Nic Nemeth can't touch each other in their Six Man Tag Team Match tonight. Santana says there isn't much left to say and says he can be a professional, but he'll Spin The Block on Nic at Slammiversary. Navarro crashes the interview between the pair and says tonight is about Order 4 rather than Nic.

Back from the break, Order 4 makes their way out. Santana, Navarro, and Nic follow.

Santana and John Skyler begin the action. The bell rings and Nic tags in. He locks up with Skyler and opts to tag on Navarro instead of Santana despite Santana calling for it. Santana gets in Nic's face, but Navarro tries getting the two men calmed down. This opens the door for Skyler, Jason Hotch, and Mustafa Ali to blindside Santana, Navarro, and Nic from behind.

Santana powerbombs Hotch over the top rope to take out Ali and Skyler on the outside, but Ali looks to blindside Nic from behind. Nic fends him off and brawls with Ali on the outside as Santana brawls with Hotch and Navarro goes at it with Skyler.

Navarro dumps Skyler into the ring, but Skyler delivers a kick to Navarro and tags out to Hotch. Hotch and Skyler whip Navarro into the corner of the ring, and Order 4 triple teams on Navarro after Ali has tagged in.

Ali pins Navarro, but Navarro kicks out. Steelz uses the ropes to take a cheap shot at Navarro as the referee has his back turned. She does so once again, but the referee catches her the second time. He ejects Steels and Agent 0 from ringside, opening the door for Navarro to roll up a distracted Ali. Ali kicks out and fires off stomps on Navarro in the corner, then tags in Hotch. Hotch follows suit and tags out to Skyler before Skyler delivers a chop to Navarro.

Back from the break, Santana lands a Death Valley Driver on Hotch and flies out of the ring through the middle rope to level Ali and Skyler on the outside. Nic tags in and delivers a jumping reverse bulldog to Hotch, then goes for a pin but Hotch kicks out.

Santana and Nic begin to argue with one another, but Order 4 takes advantage and blindsides them from behind. Hotch and Skyler look to land a double suplex on Nic, but Santana comes to Nic's aid. Nic whips Hotch and Skyler into the mat spine first, then pins Hotch for the win as Santana pins Hotch at the same time.

Winners: Mike Santana, KC Navarro, and Nic Nemeth

After the match, Ryan Nemeth blindsides Santana from behind. Santana recovers and looks to level Ryan, but accidentally clocks Navarro instead. This opens the door for Nic to blindside Santana with a superkick and stand tall over him.

Back from the break, Nic finds Navarro backstage and asks him how he's doing. Navarro says he's fine, and Nic tells him that he can't trust anyone in TNA Wrestling. Navarro says Santana didn't mean to hit him, but Ryan joins the two men and tells Navarro that's what happens when you get involved in another man's business. Santana comes across the three men and berates Nic and Ryan, then insists that he didn't mean to hit Navarro. Navarro says he knows and tells Santana to focus on retaining his TNA World Championship against Nic at Slammiversary.

Back at ringside, Frankie Kazarian makes his way out.

Kazarian welcomes fans to the greatest show in the land and says it's fitting that the anniversary of TNA Wrestling is one day away. He says the Ultimate X will be making its return at Slammiversary, then runs down the history of the Ultimate X match for those who don't know. He says he was the reason for the creation of the Ultimate X match and says he's competed in more of those matches than anyone on the active roster, then says the fans can thank him for his part in creating the match when they watch it and introduces his two guests: Leon Slater and Cedric Alexander. Both men then make their way to the ring.

Kazarian says while Slater and Alexander can sit, he would rather they didn't. He says Slater was one day from becoming the longest reigning X-Division Champion of all time and says he wanted Slater to break the record, but Alexander took that from him and asks him how it felt. Slater says he'd be lying if he said it didn't hurt, but Alexander mockingly laughs at him and says he's glad it hurt.

Slater tells Alexander to be quiet and says he doesn't know the pain of his mother and sister watching him from the United Kingdom on failing nor does he know the pain of carrying a country on his back and failing. He says he also failed the fans and says Alexander beat him, but Alexander cuts him off and says it's a fact that he beat Slater. He says Slater has been handed everything since arriving to TNA Wrestling, but when he got to the top of the mountain, he choked and lost his X-Division Championship. He says he told Slater that he was never on his level and says every time someone mentions his name, they'll remember that he was one day short of becoming the X-Division Champion. He says he stole Slater's dream and bathed in the tears of his heartbreak.

Slater and Alexander begin brawling, but Kazarian gets things broken up. Slater grabs the X-Division Championship belt and hold it up, but Kazarian tells Alexander and Slater to save things for Slammiversary. He reveals that TNA Director of Operations Daria Rae chose him to compete in the Ultimate X-Division Championship match at Slammiversary and says the king will reign supreme at Slammiversary.

We then head over to the Injury Report, where we learn that KC Navarro is in medical evaluation for a potential left knee injury. Léi Yǐng Lee has been cleared despite having sustained a chipped tooth in her brawl with Xia Brookside earlier tonight, as have "Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero.

Back from the break, we head over to "Inside the Music": a video package that features A.J. Francis talk about how music is his calling and his path to being a self proclaimed music mogul.

Back at ringside, Ricky Sosa makes his way out. Dak Draper is already waiting in the ring, and Eric Young has taken a seat at the announce desk.

The bell rings and the two lock up. Sosa delivers a dropkick to Draper's spine, then flies out of the ring over the top rope to level Draper on the outside. Draper catapults Sosa into the bottom rope throat first, then fires off a few stomps on him.

Sosa delivers a German suplex to Draper and rocks him with a pair of uppercuts, but Draper catches Sosa with a boot. Sosa responds by landing a hurricanrana on Draper off the middle rope and follows it up with a dropkick to him off the top, then connects with a Blue Thunder Bang for the win.

Winner: Ricky Sosa

Back from the break, Elayna Black makes her way to the ring. Indi Hartwell follows, and Mara Sadè takes a seat at the announce desk.

The bell rings and Black looks to clock Hartwell. Hartwell blocks her and lands a knee on Black in the corner, then runs over her with a big boot and goes for a pin. Black kicks out, but Hartwell levels her with a clothesline and follows it up with a spinebuster.

Ash By Elegance and The Personal Concierge appear at the top of the entrance ramp to distract Hartwell, opening the door for Black to land a strike on Hartwell from behind. Hartwell responds by rolling up Black for the win.

Winner: Indi Hartwell

After the match, Black blindsides Hartwell from behind her. Ash joins in on beating down Hartwell with Black, but Sadè comes to Hartwell's aid.

We then head backstage, where Fabian Aichner asks Santino Marella for a spot in the Slammiversary Ultimate X match as a fellow Italian. Marella grants him the spot, but Nic Nemeth approaches Marella to get him to put KC Navarro in the Slammiversary Ultimate X Match. Marella says he's feeling generous and grants Navarro the fifth spot in the match. 

Back from the break, Mike Santana hijacks the broadcast and tells Nic Nemeth to meet him in the ring one-on-one later tonight.

Back at ringside, The System makes their way out. The Broken Hardys and Moose (dawning a "Broken" look of his own) follow.

Moose and Eddie begin the action. The bell rings and Eddie tags out to Brian Myers. "Broken" Matt Hardy tags in and begins wearing down Myers' left arm, then connects with The Three Facts of Deletion on him.

Brother Nero tags in and delivers a double ax handle to Myers, then tags out to "Broken" Matt. "Broken" Matt delivers a double an handle of his own to Myers' arm as Brother Nero holds Myers in place, but Moose tags in and delivers another double ax handle to Myers' left arm off the ropes while Myers is held in place.

"Broken" Matt tags back in and sends Myers crashing into the top rope, then catapults him into the ropes. Eddie Edwards tags in and rains down right hands on Matt's head.

Back from the break, Bear Bronson sends Brother Nero crashing into one of the turnbuckles face first and tags in Myers. Myers lands a Falcon Arrow on Brother Nero and goes for a pin, but Brother Nero kicks out.

Bronson wears down Brother Nero from outside the ring with Alisha as the referee is distracted by Myers. Moose tags back in as Eddie tags in on his side, and Moose delivers a sit-out powerbomb to Eddie off the middle rope. Myers then lands an elbow drop on Moose off the top rope and Eddie pins him, but Moose kicks out and Bronson catches him with a sit-out powerbomb. "Broken" Matt levels Bronson with a Side Effect, but Myers runs over "Broken" Matt with a clothesline before Brother Nero catches Myers with a Twist of Fate.

The Righteous appear on the entrance ramp and ascend up a ladder that's been set up there ahead of the Three-Way match for the TNA World Tag Team Championship against The Broken Hardys and The System at Slammiversary. "Broken" Matt takes out Myers with a Twist of Fate, but Bronson sends "Broken" Matt crashing out of the ring. Brother Nero clotheslines Bronson out of the ring.

Alisha hops up on the apron and distracts Moose. She looks to slap him, but Moose catches the slap. Eddie looks to blindside Moose from behind, but Moose sees him coming and Eddie almost accidentally sends Alisha crashing off the ring apron. As the referee is once again distracted by Myers, Alisha hits Moose with a kendo stick face first and Eddie follows it up with the Boston Knee Party for the win.

Winners: The System

Santana grabs a microphone and asks Denver what's good, then says the people want to see a fight and calls Nic out to the ring.

Nic's music hits, but Ryan Nemeth instead appears and says everyone knows his big brother is the greatest wrestler in the world. He says Nic is the next TNA World Champion, but Santana says Ryan's big brother is a big b****. Ryan responds by reiterating that Nic is the next TNA World Champion, but Santana says he's still waiting for Nic.

Nic appears at the top of the entrance ramp and says Santana can keep waiting. He says Santana is too emotional, then says Santana has made the most out of his fifteen minutes of fame. He says the crowd is done feeling sorry for him and watching him be an emotional mess as TNA World Champion, then says Santana is on borrowed time and says Santana can call him TNA World Champion at Slammiversary. Santana tells Nic that he plans on walking out of Slammiversary as TNA World Champion and holds up the TNA World Championship belt as the show goes off the air.
