TNA Wrestling’s October 1 episode of iMPACT delivered a busy night from the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas, as several stories moved closer to Bound For Glory. The show, which aired on AMC, included an X-Division Championship qualifying match, a significant development surrounding the TNA International Championship, and a series of confrontations that left the Knockouts division with more questions than answers.
Moose and Leon Slater each picked up notable singles victories, while BDE advanced his position in the X-Division title race. Elsewhere, Order 4’s internal volatility reached another breaking point involving Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz, Special Agent Zero, and The Great Hands. Their conflict ultimately resulted in the announcement of a four-way match for the TNA International Championship at Bound For Glory.
BDE Wins Bound For Glory X-Division Qualifier
The X-Division Championship scene was in focus early, with BDE facing Mr. Elegance in a qualifying match tied to Bound For Glory. BDE emerged victorious, adding an important win to his record as TNA continues to establish the field around one of the promotion’s most prominent championships.
The X-Division has traditionally been defined by opportunity, innovation, and wrestlers willing to take risks in pursuit of a breakthrough. A victory in a Bound For Glory qualifying match carries obvious value for BDE, even as the complete championship picture was not detailed on this episode. He now has a meaningful result attached to his name at a key point on TNA’s calendar.

For Mr. Elegance, the loss represents a missed opportunity in a match where momentum was available to either competitor. With Bound For Glory drawing nearer, every qualifying result has the potential to shape who gets a championship platform at one of TNA’s biggest events.
Order 4 Implodes Around the International Title
The night’s most consequential development came from the increasingly unstable situation involving Order 4, The Great Hands, and Special Agent Zero. Jason Hotch and John Skyler, known collectively as The Great Hands, were preparing for their match, but Hotch remained skeptical of Skyler. That tension remained relevant as the group’s problems escalated throughout the show.
Mustafa Ali and Special Agent Zero then represented Order 4 against Hotch and Skyler. Ali and Zero defeated The Great Hands, but the result did little to create unity. Instead, the post-match scene exposed just how combustible the relationships around the group have become.
Ali berated Agent Zero after the match. Tasha Steelz then instructed Zero to take out The Great Hands, and he did. Ali responded by yelling at Steelz, only for Steelz to tell Zero to take out Ali as well. Zero followed that order, leaving Ali on the receiving end of the same force he had been directing moments earlier.
The disorder did not end in the ring. Ali, Zero, Hotch, and Skyler later brawled backstage, and the confrontation led to a major Bound For Glory announcement: Ali, Special Agent Zero, Hotch, and Skyler will meet in a four-way match for the TNA International Championship.
The match creates a uniquely chaotic title situation. Ali will enter against a man who turned on him, while Hotch and Skyler arrive with their own partnership under strain. Steelz also proved that she can influence Agent Zero’s actions, even when those actions conflict with Ali’s wishes. The International Championship match is therefore not simply a contest between four opponents. It is the next chapter in a conflict built on competing control, collapsing alliances, and personal grievances.
With all four men having been involved in the brawl that set up the match, the road to Bound For Glory figures to remain volatile. No one involved left this episode with a stable alliance or a clear advantage.
Moose Defeats AJ Francis With an Unusual Assist
Moose added another victory to his résumé by defeating AJ Francis. The match came with an unusual wrinkle, as Deuce, the Dude Wipes mascot, helped Moose secure the win.
The result is still important for Moose, whose name remains synonymous with the top end of the TNA roster. Francis is a formidable opponent, and a win over him can provide valuable momentum regardless of the unconventional circumstances surrounding the finish. At the same time, Deuce’s involvement gives Francis an obvious point of contention following the loss.
AJ Francis was not beaten in a straightforward situation, and it remains to be seen whether the finish will prompt him to seek another match with Moose or whether both competitors move toward separate goals. What is certain is that Moose left San Antonio with his hand raised, while Francis was left dealing with a defeat influenced by an outside presence.
Indi Hartwell and Xia Brookside Face Knockouts Turmoil
The Knockouts division saw a physical and unsettling sequence centered on Indi Hartwell, Zoey Serrano, Xia Brookside, and Rosemary. Hartwell defeated Serrano by disqualification after Serrano used a chair. The decision gave Hartwell the official win, but Serrano continued attacking her with the chair after the bell.
That assault was followed by another damaging development when Xia Brookside struck Hartwell with the Knockouts Title. The title itself being used as a weapon added further weight to the attack, and Hartwell was left having to absorb punishment from more than one direction despite being awarded the match.
Brookside’s decision to use the Knockouts Title against Hartwell raises the stakes around the division. Whether it was a direct statement toward Hartwell, a declaration of intent regarding the championship, or both, the action ensured that the title was central to the night’s confrontation. Hartwell earned a victory over Serrano, but the aftermath made clear that she did not leave the situation in control.
Another thread of uncertainty emerged when Allie and Kiera Hogan were walking together. Allie began seeing and hearing Rosemary, who asked, “What is real?” The brief but ominous exchange adds a supernatural and psychological element to the division’s ongoing issues. Rosemary’s question was deliberately unsettling, and Allie’s apparent ability to see and hear her could signal that this story is far from resolved.
There were no immediate answers provided about what Allie’s experience means or where it will lead. However, the moment stood apart from the rest of the show and ensured that the Knockouts landscape featured both direct physical aggression and a growing sense of unease.
Leon Slater Continues Winning Ways
Leon Slater defeated Joe Alonzo in singles action, continuing a productive night for a wrestler who has increasingly become associated with standout athletic performances and major opportunities. Slater’s victory over Alonzo gave him a clean result on an episode full of interference, post-match attacks, and group conflict.
In a show where several competitors found themselves distracted by alliances and rivalries, Slater’s focus produced a straightforward win. That can matter greatly as Bound For Glory approaches. TNA’s roster is crowded with contenders looking for a defining moment, and consistent victories remain one of the clearest ways to build a case for larger matches.
Alonzo, meanwhile, was unable to halt Slater’s momentum. The loss keeps the spotlight firmly on Slater as he looks to turn his latest victory into a larger position on future cards.
