TNA Wrestling is gearing up for a major week of television in the heart of the south. The promotion has finalized an action-packed lineup for next week’s live broadcast of TNA Impact, taking place on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at the Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Championships Defended and Factions Collide
The marquee addition to the live episode is a high-stakes Knockouts World Championship match. Reigning champion Arianna Grace will put her title on the line against the hard-hitting Jody Threat. Threat secured this highly anticipated championship opportunity by outlasting the competition to win the Knockouts Battle Royal at the recent No Surrender premium live event. Grace will have a difficult task keeping her gold against Threat’s relentless offense.
The tag team division will also be heavily featured with a chaotic four-way tag team match. The Righteous will square off against Sinner and Saint, the duo of Rich Swann & BDE, and the dominant faction of The System. This bout promises fast-paced action and could potentially determine the next challengers for the tag team titles. Additionally, X-Division Champion Leon Slater is slated to defend his championship against the veteran Nic Nemeth in what should be a technical showcase.
Following the live broadcast on Thursday, TNA will return to the Gateway Center Arena the very next night for a comprehensive set of television tapings to cover future episodes. While they may not air on the March 5 live show, the company has already announced two major matches for those subsequent tapings: a singles clash between Elayna Black and Mara Sade, and a brutal Atlanta Street Fight between Moose and Cedric Alexander to settle their ongoing differences.
