A new era of TNA Wrestling begins on January 15, with the debut episode of Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC. It airs live from 9:00 p.m. ET to 11:00 p.m. ET. This historic event for TNA is taking place at the Curtis Culwell Center in Dallas, Texas.
TNA’s flagship television show began in 2004 and has been hosted on multiple networks, including Fox Sports Net, Spike TV, Pop, and, most recently, AXS TV. But now, for the first time, AMC will host a weekly episodic professional wrestling show 52 weeks a year. This is a massive move for TNA, giving them a larger audience and elevating their brand.
This episode of Thursday Night iMPACT! features three matches, two of which are for a title. Frankie Kazarian puts his TNA World Championship on the line against former title holder Mike Santana. The second championship match is for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team titles between The IInspiration vs. The Elegance Brand.
Check out my predictions for the first episode of TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC.

TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! Full Card & Predictions
TNA World Championship Match: Frankie Kazarian (c) vs. Mike Santana
Mike Santana beat Trick Williams to win his first TNA World Championship at Bound for Glory in October, creating one of the best moments in 2025. But Santana lost his title 32 days later to Frankie Kazarian, who cashed in his Call Your Shot Gauntlet in November. Now, Santana has worked his way back and is looking to reclaim his title on the first episode of Impact on AMC.
Kazarian has had Santana’s number in the past, as he has a 2-1 record against him in singles competition. Santana’s lone one-on-one victory against Kazarian came at Turning Point 2024. Santana will likely be desperate in this match as he needs the win more to prove he is still worthy of being a top guy in TNA.
Frankie Kazarian vs. Mike Santana Prediction: Mike Santana defeats Frankie Kazarian to win the TNA World Heavyweight title.
TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship Match: The IInspiration (c) vs. The Elegance Brand
The IInspiration is currently in the midst of their second reign as TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions. They beat The Elegance Brand to win the titles and have since successfully defended them three times. The IInspiration is 2-1 against The Elegance Brand, and this is their first match since Bound for Glory 2025. Recently, The IInspiration has been on an excellent run, and it doesn’t seem to be ending soon.
The IInspiration vs. The Elegance Brand Prediction: The IInspiration retains its titles against The Elegance Brand.
Six-Man Tag Team Match: Elijah & The Hardys vs. Order 4
The Hardys aren’t just one of the best tag teams of all time, but are the current TNA World Tag Team Champions. Matt and Jeff Hardy are teaming with Elijah to take on Order 4. The Hardys have had a back-and-forth feud with Order 4 throughout 2025, and it now continues in 2026. The Hardys lost their last match against Order 4 and will likely bounce back against them in this match.
Elijah & The Hardys vs. Order 4 Prediction: Elijah & The Hardys defeat Order 4.
