Thoughts & Predictions

TNA will present their 2025 Slammiversary PPV at The UBS Arena on Long Island, NY, this Sunday, and you know what that means. The show is sold out and will be TNA’s biggest event in over ten years. Are you ready for a few predictions?

TNA Champion Trick Williams vs. Joe Hendry vs. Mike Santana.

When in doubt, go for the triple-threat. Lazy booking, but this match should be excellent. Hendry and Santana are determined to bring the TNA Championship back home, but that might work against them. I can see Trick winning when Hendry and Santana get their signals crossed. But I think this has gone on long enough. I believe in Joe Hendry, but I think Santana’s time has come.

Winner and NEW TNA Champion: Mike Santana.

TNA X-Division Champion Moose vs. Leon Slater.

Moose has essentially dominated the X-Division, and I see no reason for that to change right now. The champ retains.

Winner and STILL TNA X-Division Champion: Moose.

TNA Tag Team Champions The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth) (c) vs. The Hardys (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) vs. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel or Myron Reed and Zachary Wentz) vs. Fir$t Cla$$ (A. J. Francis and KC Navarro). The Hardys will retire if they do not win.

Everyone seems to be talking about retirement these days. Don’t worry, though. It won’t happen here. All will look bleak, but in the end, the others will be DELETED and Matt & Jeff will be wearing gold once more.

Winners and NEW TNA Tag Team Champions: The Hardys.

TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich vs. WWE NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jane – Title vs. Title.

How did Jacy Jane get a title? And why is Masha still champion? This one goes to a no-contest, and neither title is changing hands. Too many outside friends and associates to allow that to happen.

No Contest: Both Champions are DQ’ed and Retain Titles.

TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions (Ash by Elegance and Heather by Elegance) (c) (with M by Elegance and The Personal Concierge) vs. The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay).

They were snubbed by the WWE for Evolution 2, but here is where the former Iiconics get their moment in the sun. We’re seeing new champions.

Winners and NEW TNA Knockouts Champions: The IInspiration.

Indi Hartwell vs. Tessa Blanchard.

Does Tessa still have Robert Stone and the former Alicia Fox, Victoria Crawford, in her corner? If that’s the case, that will be her downfall. Tessa should win, but this is Hartwell’s TNA PPV debut, and we all know how that goes. A distraction backfires, and Indi steals a win.

Winner: Indi Hartwell.

Mustafa Ali (with Jason Hotch, John Skyler, and Tasha Steelz) vs. Cedric Alexander.

It’s all about beating the numbers game and overcoming the odds. Look for Cedric to overcome the odds.

Winner: Cedric Alexander.

Darkstate (Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, Saquon Shugars, and Cutler James) vs. The System (Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, and JDC) and Matt Cardona.

This will be a chaotic and wild match, but looking at it, one side has a ballroom dancer and the Death Match King as part of the team. They’re not losing.

Winners: The System (Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, and JDC) and Matt Cardona.

TNA International Champion Steve Maclin, Mance Warner, and Jake Something vs. nZo, Zilla Fatu, and Josh Bishop.

Enzo Amore is back in TNA, and he has Zilla Fatu of all people by his side. I can see Enzo’s team winning, but I see more story in Bishop getting pinned and facing the consequences from Enzo and Fatu at TNA television. Maclin, Warner, and Something are too big to lose cleanly. They won’t.

Winners: TNA International Champion Steve Maclin, Mance Warner, and Jake Something.

It’s a stacked show, and those are my predictions. And let’s not forget AJ Styles will be there as well and doing something. I actually want to see this show, something I have not said about TNA in a long, long time. So, what do you think? Who will win or lose? Tell me in the comments, along with any other thoughts, questions, or comments. And with that, I’m out of here. It’s a busy day, and I’ve got lots of stuff coming up later today with the Ultimate Wrestling Q&A, the Ultimate X Q&A, and maybe more. Thanks for the continued support. And that is all the people need to know. I’ll see you at the matches.
