TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! Review - March 12, 2026

By Graham "GSM" Matthews

TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys def. Sinner & Saint (Non-Title)

Sinner & Saint failed to become number one contenders to the tag titles on last week's episode, but I liked that they got a non-title opportunity against The Hardys here to show what they could do. This felt more like a warm-up for The Hardys than anything, but Sinner & Saint played their roles well. This didn't overstay its welcome and was exactly what it needed to be.

Indi Hartwell def. Kelsey Heather

This was a fairly standard showcase for Hartwell, and considering how much losing she's been doing since Bound for Glory, this was necessary. The match was short and sweet, but the focus was on her post-match promo where she called out Arianna Grace and announced her intentions to challenge for the TNA Knockouts World Championship. That seems sudden, so hopefully they don't rush into it. If they do, I doubt she wins.

TNA International Champion Trey Miguel, Rich Swann and B.D.E. def. Order 4 (The Great Hands and Mustafa Ali)

I don't know why this match was made, but I'm happy it was because it was a blast. Miguel had strong chemistry with Swann and B.D.E. and all six stars worked really well together. TNA needs more of these matches where the wrestlers involved get to go all out. Although Miguel picked up the win for his team, it looks like we're headed toward him defending against Ali soon and I'm looking forward to that.

Steve Maclin Addressed TNA World Champion Mike Santana

Santana stood in the crowd the entire time listening to what Maclin had to say but didn't say anything in response. I thought that was interesting, but Santana has had plenty of time to talk, so I thought it was smart to let Maclin have the spotlight here. He cut a good promo about his past and about his upcoming TNA World Championship clash with Santana at Sacrifice. This was an effective way of building it up.

A.J. Francis def. Elijah

They set up Francis vs. The Home Town Man with Francis attacking Home Town Man last week, but I don't think he needed to beat Elijah here in order to boost his credibility. I know Kazarian cost Elijah the victory, so it's not as if Elijah lost clean, but it was still strange for Elijah to lose after winning that Guitar Case Casket match a few weeks ago. The match itself was serviceable.

Ricky Sosa def. Brad Attitude

I've heard a lot about Sosa on social media without actually seeing him compete. I can confirm after watching his TNA debut here that he is indeed impressive, and his entrance music is certainly catchy. He came across like a star in the making and made a fantastic first impression. TNA is a great place for him to hone his skills, assuming he's sticking around.

Moose def. Cedric Alexander in an Atlanta Street Fight

This was your average Street Fight, but that's not to say it wasn't entertaining. They made the most of the stipulation and had the crowd engaged in the action. I thought for sure Alisha Edwards would turn on Moose here, but apparently not. That's fine, but in that case, there was no reason for her to be at ringside. Moose is confirmed to face Brian Myers next week.

Overall Show

This was one of those editions of iMPACT! where everything flowed nicely. Some stuff built toward Sacrifice, while other stuff was just enjoyable for what was it was. Sosa is worth keeping an eye on, Moose continues to run through The System, Santana vs. Maclin was hyped up, and the in-ring action was solid on the whole. There haven't been any major developments in a bit, but at least they're putting together a consistent show quality-wise from week to week.
