TNA Rebellion 2026 is right around the corner, with the company presenting another episode of “Impact” on the way there. It wasn’t an entirely uneventful show, though who could blame you for getting a sense of deja vu during the main event, which saw The Righteous unsuccessfully challenge Matt and Jeff Hardy for the TNA World Tag Team Championship again.

As we know, tonight’s show was the go-home leading to TNA’s upcoming pay-per-view event, Rebellion, in less than 48 hours. While there were so many great segments tonight (the Rosemary vignette, Mike Santana – Eddie Edwards segment, the Tables Match main event, and Mustafa Ali losing his shoes), it lacked the finesse one would expect for a go-home show.

For some reason, I believe the matches were a lot shorter than they should have been. Sure, not everyone wants to sit through a 20-minute to an hour-long match (unless you’re like me, and enjoy NJPW); however, it seemed that most of the four matches were done either before the next commercial break or shortly thereafter. I wish there was a little more time, especially in Dani Luna’s last official match in the company, or in the table match main event. I would’ve appreciated it if The Hardys and The Righteous could have had a go for more than 15 minutes. Stylized matches like theirs deserve more time.

I get that all of the talents need to be in good shape ahead of Saturday, but to me, tonight felt like just another weekly episode of “Impact.” I wish we could have gotten more in-ring matches to enhance the excitement for what’s to come this weekend.
