Story byMatt and Jeff Hardy make their entrance as the TNA World Tag Team Champions. - WWEAngeline PhuFri, January 16, 2026 at 2:46 AM UTC·2 min readAll the stars were out for TNA's debut episode of "TNA iMPACT" on AMC+, but perhaps none shone brighter than Elijah (formerly known as WWE's Elias) and TNA World Tag Tea Champions, The Hardys. Elijah, Matt, and Jeff Hardy took the first victory in TNA's new AMC era over Mustafa Ali's Order 4 stable, but their celebration was short-lived, thanks to the dastardly actions of The Righteous. Thursday's contest started with an all-out brawl, but Elijah and The Hardys quickly assumed match dominance.

Key Highlights

  • Ali fell victim to a Superplex early on in the match, and the Order 4's victory campaign dwindled even further when Jeff and Matt Hardy clotheslined Jason Hotch and John Skyler out of the ring.
  • Ali attempted to stage a brief comeback, but both he and Tasha Steelz were neutralized by a Twist of Fate from Matt.
  • From there, Elijah and The Hardy's only needed to deliver one more Twist of Fate/Swanton Bomb combo before Jeff pinned Hotch to secure the victory.

  • An Order 4 beatdown was certain — that is, until The Righteous' Vincent and Dutch dashed to the ring to force Special Agent 0's departure.
  • The Righteous were anything but kind, however, and the night went from bad to worse as Vincent locked Jeff's earlobe to the corner post with a padlock.
