TNA has announced that the new TNA World Champion, Trick Williams, will feature in a segment on the upcoming episode of Impact on Thursday, May 29. This appearance follows Williams securing the TNA World Championship from Joe Hendry at NXT Battleground.
On the most recent episode of NXT, Williams was confronted by TNA’s Mike Santana, who issued a challenge for the TNA World Championship. Santino Marella subsequently appeared via video to make the championship match official for the following week’s NXT broadcast, where Williams will make his first title defense. TNA’s announcement indicated that fans will hear directly from Williams during the Thursday Impact segment.
This week’s edition of Impact was recorded on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario. Williams’ victory at NXT Battleground marked him as the first active WWE-contracted wrestler to win the TNA World Championship.
