TNA Wrestling Live – April 17, 2025: Ultimate Preview & What to Expect
By [watchwrestling.sbs], TNA Insider & Wrestling Analyst
The anticipation is reaching a fever pitch as TNA Wrestling gears up for another explosive live event on April 17, 2025! Whether you’re tuning in online or wishing you were in the arena, this night promises to deliver high-flying action, shocking twists, and unforgettable moments that only TNA can provide.
In this exclusive preview, we’ll break down everything you need to know—confirmed matches, potential surprises, rivalries reaching their boiling point, and how to watch live. Buckle up, because TNA is about to take us on another wild ride!
🔥 The Main Event Scene: Championship Showdowns & Grudge Matches
1. TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Moose (c) vs. “The Walking Weapon” Josh Alexander
The rivalry between Moose and Josh Alexander has been one of the most intense in recent TNA history. Moose, the dominant champion, has been dodging Alexander’s relentless pursuit, but on April 17, there’s nowhere left to run.
- Alexander’s Redemption Arc: After narrowly missing the title in their last encounter, Alexander has been on a warpath, dismantling every opponent in his way. Will he finally dethrone Moose, or will the champion’s ruthless tactics keep the gold around his waist?
- Moose’s Mind Games: Moose has never been above bending the rules, and with his faction possibly lurking at ringside, Alexander must be ready for anything.
Prediction: A brutal, show-stealing classic—but will interference play a role?
2. Knockouts World Championship: Jordynne Grace (c) vs. Deonna Purrazzo – “Last Woman Standing”
The Knockouts Division has never been hotter, and this Last Woman Standing match could be an all-timer. Grace and Purrazzo have traded the title multiple times, but this stipulation ensures only one will walk out as champion.
- Grace’s Power vs. Purrazzo’s Technical Mastery: Grace’s raw strength has often overwhelmed opponents, but Purrazzo’s submission expertise could neutralize that advantage.
- No DQ, No Limits: Weapons, outside interference, and pure brutality are guaranteed.
Prediction: A war of attrition—expect tables, chairs, and possibly even a shocking return to influence the outcome.
💥 Undercard Matches Packed with Fireworks
3. X-Division Championship: Chris Bey (c) vs. Trey Miguel vs. Laredo Kid – Ultimate X Match
The X-Division is TNA’s crown jewel of high-octane action, and this Ultimate X match will push all three competitors to their limits.
- Bey’s Confidence vs. Miguel’s Redemption: Bey has been an arrogant but brilliant champion, while Trey Miguel is desperate to reclaim his spot at the top.
- Laredo Kid’s Wildcard Factor: The high-flying luchador could steal the show with one breathtaking move.
Prediction: Aerial chaos—expect at least one moment that leaves the crowd in stunned silence.
4. Tag Team Turmoil: The Good Brothers vs. Speedball Mountain (Mike Bailey & Trent Seven)
Tag team wrestling in TNA is thriving, and this match could determine the next #1 contenders.
- The Good Brothers’ Experience: Gallows and Anderson know every trick in the book.
- Speedball Mountain’s Unstoppable Momentum: Bailey’s speed and Seven’s hard-hitting style make them a dangerous duo.
Prediction: A hard-hitting affair with possible shenanigans from other factions.
5. Grudge Match: Eddie Edwards vs. Sami Callihan – No Disqualification
This is personal. Edwards and Callihan have been at each other’s throats for months, and now they finally settle it under No DQ rules.
- Weapons & Blood Expected: Both men thrive in violence.
- Will OVE or Honor No More Get Involved? Faction warfare could spill over.
Prediction: A brutal brawl that could steal the show.
🎤 Backstage Drama & Potential Surprises
– The Return of a Legend?
Rumors are swirling that a former TNA icon could appear. Names like AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, or even a surprise WWE/NJPW crossover have been teased.
– New Signings Debuting?
TNA has been scouting talent globally—could we see a major debut or two?
– Shocking Betrayals?
With factions like Violent By Design, The Design, and Honor No More in play, alliances may crumble.

Very good show
I think his Ic run being so long hurt him as a credible world champion. It’s like he fought all the same guys and crushed them for a mid card belt now we are supposed to believe they are an actual challenge to him as a world champion? Lol when they took the intercontinental title off of him they should have moved him to SmackDown and put a new list of challengers in front of him. And moved Cody and the WWE championship to raw
Very good episode,
imagine being deluded enough to think a multi billion dollar company with guys who literally have wrestling in their blood hot shoted a heel turn storyline because they booked themselves into a corner. are you serious dude? that is the most ridiculous thing i have read in a minute lol. good luck bro.
Great episode.
Punk/Cody was there for the taking and Cena could’ve gone up against Gunther.
They knee jerked a heel turn because they booked themselves into a nepotism corner
Very good show
honestly don’t get the hate. like sure, there’s no major story here YET. But Punk/Rollins/Reigns has a lot of potential to be a high quality match. I’m legit looking forward to it and love that these three have wound up in a match together.
Great episode.
The triple threat match between them at Wrestlemania is gonna be awesome. Super stoked for this match
Great show
Let’s mention the women’s match in every live/hate challenge. Easiest task for this group of “journalists” ever. Each one of these love/hates are more embarrassing than the last. We get it, women’s wrestling is amazing and should main event every show and if a women’s match is bad it’s because where it is on the card or the booking it’s never the talent, all the women are top tier wrestlers.
Very good show
You wanna find out who the real simps and shills are? Mark down anybody who defends that main event match! Even the diehard AEW fans are crapping on that main event. It was terrible.
This Moxley stuff is stinking out the entire show and the dude seems to think he is Brock Lesnar.
The sad part is that this wasn’t a terrible show overall and with all things taken into an account. But at the end of the day, a bad ending can ruin a whole show for a lot of people. “Game of Thrones season 8” style.
Great show
So the crux of it all is that the PLE started strong…then ended with a sour belch.
The fans most remember how you left them and the fans are going to remember this show with a resounding “bleh”!
And any casual fan who watched with their buddies who are more diehard fans, may have left the viewing saying aloud, “That guy was pretty good. He should go to WWE”.
Great show.
I’ve said before but I think one of the issues here is that Tony is a massive fan of NJPW and often looks to emulate their PPV card structure. NJPW cards typically build to a climax with the big matches back to back and tend not to feature cool down matches or spots. Problem is western audiences haven’t been conditioned for that over the last 40 years, so often results in burnout. Personally I would have laid out the card like below giving breathing spaces, opening with the Steel Cage match and building to the Hollywood Ending as the main event.
Storm vs. May
Mox vs. Cope
Hangman vs. MJF
Hurt Syndicate vs. Outrunners
Takeshita vs. Omega
Swerve vs. Ricochet
Okada vs. King
Mone vs. Watanabe
Ospreay vs. Fletcher
Great episode.
Very good show, but the ending is what people remember. WWE ended Elimination Chamber with a huge heel turn. AEW ended Revolution with that abominable ending.
it doesn’t totally undo a great show, but it might have done more harm than good.
Very good show
I can already see Trips the mark statues, Trips the mark with a 20 minutes speech, the camera focusing onTrips the mark every 30 seconds when he is on the crowd.
Great show.
I’m glad they are bringing it back to a nice venue. The idea of hosting it immediately after Smackdown is insane. Why not put a highlight show or broadcast the Hall of Fame instead of airing Smackdown that week.
best of the best
Very good show tonight

Really don’t like that it’s the Women’s NXT North American Championship.
Really don’t like that it’s the Women’s NXT North American Championship. Besides being an awkward mouthful, it’s too derivative of Men’s midcard title.
