TNA has announced a stacked lineup for next week’s Impact on AMC, AMC+, and TNA+, headlined by Mike Santana making his first TNA World Championship defense against Rich Swann. The match was set up on Thursday’s episode when Santana said he wanted to give an opportunity to someone who, like himself, had turned their life around — calling out Swann, who accepted from the stage.
Matt Hardy will face Dutch in singles action as he and Jeff seek revenge against The Righteous following their betrayal. Nic Nemeth takes on Bear Bronson after Nemeth stepped up to Bronson backstage for mocking KC Navarro. Xia Brookside will also address her shocking turn on Lei Ying Lee at Rebellion — Lei Ying Lee said in a vignette she lost a friend in Brookside, while Brookside has so far refused to explain her actions when asked by Gia Miller backstage.
