A tense rivalry between Mance Warner and Sami Callihan reached an unexpected pause on this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT! on AXS TV.
Following weeks of clashes — including their brutal Barbed Wire Massacre Match at TNA Unbreakable — Warner and Callihan came face-to-face backstage, joined by Santino Marella and Steph De Lander. Despite their mutual distrust, both men acknowledged the historic violence of their feud, culminating in a reluctant handshake that marked a temporary truce. As Callihan noted, the war is over “for now.”
De Lander revealed that she orchestrated the meeting, expressing frustration that Warner’s injuries had cost them a payday at TNA Rebellion 2025.
Additionally, Thursday night’s episode of TNA iMPACT! concluded with Trick Williams once again asserting his dominance over TNA World Heavyweight Champion Joe Hendry.
In the main event six-man tag team match featuring Hendry teaming up with The Hardys (Matt & Jeff Hardy) against Frankie Kazarian and The Nemeths (Ryan & Nic Nemeth), Trick made a surprise appearance. He yanked Hendry out of the ring and brutally drove him into the steel steps, swinging the momentum in favor of the opposition.
Following the match — which Kazarian & The Nemeths won — Trick delivered a devastating Trick Shot knee to Hendry, leaving the champion laid out in the ring.
Earlier in the night, Trick had appeared via satellite, issuing a clear and ominous warning to Hendry. This marks the second time in under a week that Williams has dropped the champion with his signature knee strike.
