Several must-see matchups have been added to the stacked card for TNA Genesis LIVE THIS SATURDAY on pay-per-view from Dallas, Texas.
On the premiere of Thursday Night iMPACT! On AMC, Mike Santana dethroned Frankie Kazarian to reclaim the TNA World Championship. Moments later, Santana would fend off an opportunistic Nic Nemeth who attempted to call his shot. But now, Santana must defend against the former champion just two days later as Kazarian invokes his rematch clause at Genesis. However, this is no normal match. As revealed by Director of Authority Santino Marella and TNA Official Daria Rae, Santana and Kazarian will collide in a Texas Death Match with Call Your Shot Trophy holder Nic Nemeth serving as the Special Guest Referee.
Due to visa issues, Dani Luna is unable to challenge Léi Yǐng Lee for the TNA Knockouts World Championship. However, being the fighting champion that she is, Lee would issue an open challenge on the premiere of Thursday Night iMPACT! On AMC, which was answered by NXT’s Zaria. Now, Léi Yǐng Lee and Zaria are set to clash at Genesis with the coveted TNA Knockouts World Title on the line.
Say his name and he appears. NXT’s Joe Hendry will compete in TNA Wrestling for the first time since October when he battles Moose and Cedric Alexander in a Triple Threat match at Genesis. TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater was forced to withdraw from the match due to visa issues. With a new era upon us and the lights shining bright at TNA’s first pay-per-view extravaganza of 2026, who will reign supreme?
The brash and arrogant Ryan Nemeth has been a pestering thorn in the side of Mara Sadè for quite some time. After numerous superkicks to the face, he still doesn’t get the message — she’s not interested. Now, Mara Sadè will look to deliver another beatdown when she battles Ryan Nemeth at Genesis.
