Of the four major pay-per-views TNA Wrestling produce this year, the in-ring combat and storytelling quality has often varied from great to formulaic to somewhere in between.
But which PPV could be considered the best of 2025 and which failed to do so…This Every TNA 2025 Pay-Per-View Ranked from Worst To Best.

#4. Bound For Glory
As of the time of this article, TNA’s Bound for Glory occurred a little over a month ago and looking back at it this show had some of the best and worst aspects of TNA on full display.
There were highlights like Steve Maclin regaining the International Title, NXT’s Kelani Jordan retaining the Knockouts World Title against Indi Hartwell, The System beating Order 4 in Hardcore War and the two final matches were an emotional piece of wrestling albeit for completely different reasons.
But as good as that all sounds, there were also a lot of bad stuff as well:
- Tessa Blanchard cheating to win a match over backstage interview Gia Miller
- TNA somehow bungling up the rules to it’s own Call Your Shot Gauntlet match (capped off with Kazarian and Nic Nemeth being co-winners, a decision that was panned by the audience)
- A time limit draw in the X Division Title match before it got restarted and then ended in a no contest thanks to the involvement of NXT’s Darkstate.
The 7,794 fans inside the Tsongas Center made this show the most attended in all of TNA history, and while this along with previously mentioned highlights help the make this event memorable, the questionably booking of some of their high profiled matches, leaves BFG in dead last on our list.

#3. Rebellion
While the show itself wasn’t bad, there wasn’t too much to write home about outside of few key moments and a small number of matches.
The Ultimate X match which kicked off the show is memorable for Leon Slater’s 450 Swanton Bomb from the top of the X structure which generated a lot of discussion about from fans, critics and even the people of ESPN got in on the fun.
The Elegance Brand retained their Knockouts Tag Team Titles in a four way match which would serve as the last match for Gigi Dolin and Jakara Jackson as part of the NXT brand with the latter joining TNA months later as Mara Sadè.
Elsewhere on the card, The Rascalz and Ace Austin won a six man tag match over The System, Steve Maclin retained his newly won International Championship against Eric Young, Nic and Ryan Nemeth defeated the Hardy’s become new TNA Tag Team Champions and Masha Slamovich defeated Tessa Blanchard to remain Knockouts World Champion.
The two matches worth remembering from this card would be the three way TNA World Title match between Joe Hendry, Frankie Kazarian and NXT’s Ethan Page and of course Mike Santana and Mustafa Ali’s brutal Falls Count Anywhere match, which is often seen as one of the best matches of the year for TNA.

#2. Genesis
This show will perhaps best be remembered as the night Joe Hendry went from being a viral wrestling meme to becoming TNA World Champion; As great as that moment was in front of the sold out Texas crowd in the Curtis Culwell Center, TNA’s first PPV of 2025 had a lot more to offer.
Moose and Ace Austin kicked off the show with an impressive X Division Title match, however the System’s Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards weren’t so lucky as they lost a tag team match to the team of Eric Young and Steve Maclin moments later.
Jody Threat and Dani Luna (aka Spitfire) continued their feud with Heather and Ash By Elegance over the Knockouts Tag Team Titles with the champions retaining under some dubious circumstances. The Hardy Boyz retained their tag titles against The Rascalz and Masha Slamovich dispatched Rosemary in a Clockwork Orange House of Fun match to keep the Knockouts World Championship.
Josh Alexander and Jordynne Grace were already out the door when they battled and lost to Mike Santana and Tessa Blanchard respectively on this night with these matches being seen as a passing of the torch to the next top stars in the company.
Hendry and Nemeth’s world title match was much better than their first encounter at Bound For Glory the previous year and ended in predictable yet satisfying fashion for Scotland’s favorite wrestler not named Drew McIntyre.
Outside of some minor technical issues in the tag title match and the chants of “She’s a Racist” leveled at Tessa Blanchard by the crowd (If you know, you know), Genesis managed to do a lot things right in terms of elevating the talent and progressing storylines moving forward.

#1. Slammiversary
As someone who was there live for this event, TNA’s Slammiversary had the makings of being a perfect show but a few blemishes on the card stopped that from happening.
Yes, the decision to have NXT’s Trick Williams retain the TNA World Title in Santana’s home state of New York was divisive and the Tessa/Indi match was not a great showing for Hartwell, the rest of the show more than delivered.
Mustafa Ali defeated Cedric Alexander in the show’s opening match, Matt Cardona and the System defeated NXT’s Darkstate in tag team action and Jacy Jayne made history by becoming the first woman to hold both the NXT and TNA Women’s Titles after beating Masha Slamovich.
Leon Slater made history himself by becoming the youngest X Division Champion and getting a ringing endorsement by a returning AJ Styles, plus the Hardy’s regained the Tag Team Titles in a four way ladder match before the shock return of Bully Ray set the stage for a Hardy’s/Team 3D tables match at Bound For Glory.
Also it worthy noting that before BFG broke the record for the most attended TNA Wrestling event, Slammiversary did it months earlier with an impressive 7,623 people inside the UBS Arena (the first time since Lockdown 2013 TNA reached over seven thousand fans).
Had the company decided to put the belt on Santana here instead of Bound For Glory, this show could’ve easily been one of the greatest PPV’s in modern TNA history.
Yet the fact this show tops the list in spite of that Santana’s loss in the main event, tells you just how good of a pay-per-view Slammiversary truly was.
