<p>The January 2 episode of TNA iMPACT! was their first show of 2025. Former TNA World Champion Tess Blanchard, who returned during Final Resolution attacking Jordynn Grace, was announced for the show. Grace was also scheduled for the show, teaming with Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich and the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions Spitfire against Rosemary, Tasha Steelz, and Ash &amp; Heather By Elegance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Joe Hendry Promo</h2>



<p>Hendry came out and stated that his New Year’s Resolution for 2025 is to become TNA World Champion. He was interrupted by Ryan Nemeth, the brother of the current TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth.</p>



<p>Ryan called Hendry a “pretty good” mid-carder. He also said Hendry was a snake and a backstabber who his brother shouldn’t trust. Hendry mocked Ryan’s recent comedy special and told Ryan that, if Hendry was a mid-carder, Ryan was a janitor and told Ryan to get him a coffee.</p>



<p>Ryan bragged about his abilities, saying he would prove himself “later” by beating TNA Hall of Famer Rhino in a match. Hendry said he didn’t want to see that “later” but rather right now and Rhino came down to the ring.</p>
