Summary

TNA iMPACT airs Thursday, April 2 from the Alario Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The show starts at 9 p.m. ET and is broadcast on AMC and AMC+.

TNA World Champion Mike Santana is scheduled to open the episode. The Knockouts division headlines the card with two title-adjacent matches: Arianna Grace defends the Knockouts World Championship against Xia Brookside (with Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo in Grace's corner), and Jody Threat meets Tessa Blanchard in a Bunkhouse Match (Blanchard accompanied by Victoria Crawford). Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy are also announced to appear.

AJ Francis faces a local opponent in a separate match.

What's on the Line in New Orleans

The April 2 episode carries some notable stakes on the Knockouts side. The title match between Arianna Grace and Xia Brookside has been building since Brookside earned her shot on an earlier iMPACT broadcast, and the addition of the Bunkhouse stipulation for Jody Threat vs. Tessa Blanchard marked a first-ever match type for the TNA Knockouts division.

Santana opening the show as World Champion typically signals a major promo or confrontation to set the tone for the night. With The Hardys booked to appear, there is potential for a tease toward the tag division, though no specific opponent or angle has been announced.
