World-famous goblin, Right Now podcast host, and Nekrogoblikon frontman John Goblikon made a surprise appearance on this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT! on AXS TV.
During a segment that began with Mike Santana confronting NXT Superstar Trick Williams, Santana crossed paths with Sami Callihan, offering praise for Callihan’s performance at TNA Unbreakable. Seated beside Callihan was none other than Goblikon himself.
The moment took a turn when AJ Francis and KC Navarro of First Class arrived on the scene, attempting to recruit Callihan into their faction. Callihan firmly declined their offer and exited the scene — alongside Goblikon.
.@Santana_Proud and @_trickwilliams just crossed paths—then @AJFrancis410 & @KCwrestles tried recruiting @TheSamiCallihan… and sparked beef with Santana in the process.
Wait… IS THAT @JohnGoblikon!?

At TNA Under Siege 2025, Nic and Ryan Nemeth will be forced to defend their TNA World Tag Team Championships. Originally believing they were in the clear after defeating the Hardys at TNA Rebellion 2025, the champions assumed Jeff Hardy’s travel restrictions would keep them from a title defense on May 23.
However, during this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT!, Ryan Nemeth proposed a Ladder Match to the Hardys — only for Nic Nemeth to announce that Jeff Hardy couldn’t travel to Canada. That prompted TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella to intervene, declaring that Matt Hardy will instead team up with a mystery partner at Under Siege.
