TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! preview: Hotch vs. Trey Miguel headlines show on September 3, 2026

TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! returns on Thursday, September 3, 2026, following an eventful Lockdown edition in Brampton where a new champion was crowned and Mustafa Ali was written off television after suffering a punctured lung and fractured ribs. A No. 1 contender for Ali’s TNA International Championship will be determined on the broadcast.

Jason Hotch and Trey Miguel are scheduled to meet in the card’s main attraction, a No. 1 contender’s match for the TNA International Championship; both men are presented as having claims to a rematch with Mustafa Ali. The two had teamed together last week to defeat Order 4’s John Skyler and Special Agent Zero, and Director of Authority Santino Marella has now booked them against one another.

Knockouts World Tag Team Champions Allie and Kiera Hogan will put their titles on the line in an open challenge against a mystery team. The X-Division qualifiers continue as KC Navarro faces Joe Alonzo in a match that serves as part of the build toward a vacant X-Division Championship six-way contest.

The Righteous storyline advances with BDE taking on DEATHxWALKS as the faction attempts to reach @itsbrandonde. Separately noted on the episode, BDE will appear with Rich Swann in their corner when they square off with Dutch, who will be accompanied by Vincent.

AJ Francis is listed for in-ring action after his victory over @_Iam_Elijah_ at TNALockdown. That result from Lockdown is cited in promotional material for Francis’s appearance on the September 3 show.

Promotional posts advertise the Hotch–Miguel match and the episode as airing Thursday at 9/8c on AMC, AMC+, and TNA+, and at 8pm ET on Sportsnet 360. The program is also listed as airing Thursday at 9 PM ET on AMC and AMC+ in the United States, available on TNA+ globally, and at 9 PM ET on Sportsnet 360 in Canada; in India the show is scheduled for Friday at 6:30 AM IST on Euro Sports Network and TNA+, and viewers in the UK and Ireland are directed to DAZN and TNA+ at 2 AM BST on Friday.

The winner of the Jason Hotch versus Trey Miguel No. 1 contender’s match will earn a shot at Mustafa Ali’s TNA International Championship once Ali is medically cleared to return.
