Last night a new episode of TNA iMPACT! took place live from the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A highly anticipated show, especially for fans who follow the product on television, as it was a spoiler-free event. Additionally, on this occasion, the company announced a very eye-catching match.
For weeks, TNA promoted a World Championship defense that would pit Nic Nemeth, the current titleholder, against Jeff Hardy. A match that would feature NBA legend LeBron James, who would be responsible for presenting the belt to the winner. However, that match did not take place live, but was pre-recorded before the live broadcast on AMC for airing next week.
As expected, many fans expressed their confusion and discontent with the situation, leading one of the protagonists to apologize. We are talking about Nic Nemeth, who has taken responsibility for not clarifying the situation despite the confusing promotion of the match.
"The wording of the announcements was confusing for much of the audience. We had been promoting the program for weeks, and as champion, I take responsibility for not communicating it more clearly. Plus, the main event last night was AMAZING (and will continue to be in the coming weeks). Also, TONIGHT WE RETURN TO PHILLY!" Nemeth wrote on his X account.
The main event of last night's show featured a big surprise: the coronation of Jason Hotch as the new TNA International Champion after defeating Mustafa Ali, leader of Order 4 and Hotch's boss, in a highly applauded match by fans. Tonight, the company will return to the venue to record the shows that will be aired in the coming weeks.
