TNA iMPACT Results – May 7, 2026 – Tom Hannifan & Matthew Rehwoldt to call the action for another taped episode from the Upstate Medical University Arena, Syracuse, NY
Eric Young vs. EC3 — No Disqualification Match
The fight spilled to the floor almost immediately, with EC3 dragging a table out from under the ring. He whipped Eric Young into the steel steps, then circled the ring to collect weapons — first an aluminum trash can, then a steel chair. EC3 tried to wrap the chair around Young’s head as they smashed each other with whatever they could grab. EC3 hit the Cactus Jack–style clothesline, sending both men tumbling over the ropes to the floor.
After the break, Young stomped directly on EC3’s groin, taking full advantage of the stipulation. He hurled the trash can at EC3, then pulled a chain from under the ring and tried to choke him out. EC3 turned it around and whipped Young with the chain. Young answered with a back suplex, then climbed the ropes for a moonsault that missed. EC3 hit a rolling neckbreaker and used the chain to choke Young again. He followed with a TKO, then wrapped Young in the chair and tripped him. EC3 hit The One Percenter with the chair still around Young’s head.
Somehow, that wasn’t the finish. They fought onto the apron, where Young kicked EC3 low three straight times. Young then delivered a piledriver off the apron through a table. He dragged EC3 back into the ring, hit another piledriver — this time on a steel chair — and finally got the pin.
Winner: Eric Young
Backstage — Gia Miller with Arianna Grace & Stacks

Parking Garage — The System
In the parking garage, The System shouted about the matches coming up tonight. They continued pushing their fake narrative that “you can’t beat The System,” despite the evidence to the contrary.
Elayna Black Addresses the Live Crowd
Elayna Black came out and declared herself the number‑one Knockout in the division. She said she was coming for the winner of the Knockouts Title match and trashed the rest of the division without hesitation.
This brought out The Concierge and Ash by Elegance. The Concierge said Black looked like “a gothic prostitute,” and Ash bragged about being a millionaire with a mansion and a yacht. Indi Hartwell interrupted to mock both of them for comparing paychecks. Black got tired of the argument and walked out, leaving what Hartwell called the “real” Knockouts in the ring. Hartwell told Ash there wasn’t a single thing about her that was real. A fight broke out, and Hartwell knocked Ash to the floor.
Backstage — Daria Rae
In her office, Daria Rae couldn’t believe Santino Marella’s fight had been canceled, but she insisted she could handle every decision that needed to be made tonight.
KC Navarro & Nic Nemeth vs. Bear Bronson & Brian Myers (w/ The System) — TNA World Tag Team Championship
Nemeth saved Navarro from a double‑suplex, and the champions fired back with dropkicks to Bronson and Myers. Bronson countered an arm‑ringer with a short‑arm clothesline and hammered Nemeth with fists. He distracted the referee long enough for Alisha Edwards to choke Nemeth on the ropes. Myers slowed Nemeth with a chinlock. Nemeth broke free with a jawbreaker, but Myers cut him off with a high knee for a two count. Myers followed with a back suplex, then charged in for a clothesline — but Nemeth caught him with a Famouser, leaving both men down.
Tags were made on both sides. Navarro drilled Bronson with a spinning DDT, but Myers broke up the cover. Nemeth superkicked Myers to the floor, then wiped out Alexander and Edwards with a crossbody on the outside. Myers recovered and speared Nemeth on the floor.
Back in the ring, Alisha Edwards tripped Navarro just long enough for Bronson to catch him with a sit‑out tombstone to score the victory.
Winners: Bear Bronson & Brian Myers

Mike Santana said he proved what it means to be TNA World Champion when he took on Rich Swann two weeks ago. He enjoyed handing out opportunities and was ready to give out another title shot when Daria Rae interrupted.

Back inside, Stacks distracted Lee long enough for Grace to shove her to the floor, where Grace suplexed her.
