The 2025 Final Resolution is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. It will take place on December 5, 2025 at El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas. It will air on TNA+. It will be the 14th event under the Final Resolution chronology.
The event will feature JDC's final Final Resolution appearance due to his retirement from professional wrestling in 2026.
Final Resolution was a pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling between 2005 and 2012. In 2013, TNA discontinued most of its monthly pay-per-view events in favor of the pre-recorded One Night Only events. [1] The event would be held as a special episode of Impact! in 2013, and has been a monthly special for Impact Plus in 2020 and 2023. [2]
On October 1, 2025, it was announced that Final Resolution will take place on December 5, 2025 at El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas. [3]
The event will feature several professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines are produced on TNA's weekly programs, Impact! and Xplosion . [4]
On the live November 13 broadcast of TNA Impact!, Mike Santana defended the TNA World Championship against Ryan Nemeth in the main event. At the beginning of the match, Ryan's brother Nic Nemeth, who co-held the Call Your Shot Trophy, looked to invoke his guaranteed title opportunity, but was attacked by an unknown person backstage. Immediately after this, a contingent of NXT wrestlers led by Robert Stone – including Brooks Jensen, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey, Lexis King, and The High Ryze (Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe) – stormed the ring, ejected Ryan, and attacked Santana. Several TNA wrestlers, notably TNA International Champion Steve Maclin, attempted to run interference, but were overwhelmed by the NXT group. The assault ended with Dempsey applying an armbar on Santana's right arm before Stone stomped on it after Jensen put it inside a steel chair. Once the NXT group cleared the ring, Frankie Kazarian, the other co-holder of the Call Your Shot Trophy, invoked his opportunity and won the TNA World Championship. [5] [6] The following night at Turning Point, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella stationed heavy security across the arena, declaring no one would enter or exit without proper authorization. Later, on the "Countdown" pre-show, Kazarian hosted his talk show segment, "The King's Speech," with TNA President Carlos Silva as his guest. Silva announced that TNA would conduct an internal investigation of the NXT group's invasion the previous night, which Kazarian claimed he had no part in. The Nemeths would come out to rebuff him, with Nic, who was scheduled to team with Kazarian against Santana and Maclin in the show's main event, accusing him of orchestrating the assault on him backstage; he would also declare that he would use his own Call Your Shot opportunity after their match. During the main event, Santana would be absent for a majority of the match, reportedly having been silent for the past 24 hours, with Maclin forced to fend off Kazarian and Nemeth in a handicap match. Towards the end, however, Santana would arrive at the arena and enter the match, ultimately pinning Kazarian to win it for Maclin and himself. After the match, Nemeth looked ready to invoke his opportunity, but he, along with Santana, Maclin, and even Kazarian, was attacked by the NXT invaders. Several TNA wrestlers, including TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy), security guards, as well as Santino Marella, tried to intervene, but were once again held off; Stone, who this past summer tried to replace Marella, even knocked him out as the show went off air. [7] [8]
On the subsequent episode of TNA Impact!, Santana opened with an in-ring promo, saying he attended a safe space meeting before he arrived at Turning Point, later vowing to hunt each member of the NXT group one-by-one. Later that night, Marella and his daughter, NXT-TNA liaison Arianna Grace, discussed how the invading NXT group broke into Turning Point, as apparently, the main entrance was left unguarded after Santana entered the arena. Marella suggested allowing them into TNA's shows but needed a reason for them to come. Maclin and The Hardys would suggest that they offer title matches to the NXT wrestlers, to which Marella agreed. A vignette from the NXT group would soon air, as each member made their own threats to TNA. Notable moments include Dempsey taunting Santana – their attack on Santana's arm resulting in a torn UCL and hyperextended elbow – and Stone claiming he was not behind their invasion, either. [9] [10] Marella then announced that, in conjunction with NXT General Manager Ava, several NXT vs. TNA matches would be signed for Turning Point: Santana to face Dempsey, The Hardys defending the TNA World Tag Team Championship against The High Ryze, and Maclin putting the TNA International Championship up against Stacks. [11]
On the November 13 episode of TNA Impact!, The System (Moose, Brian Myers, JDC, Eddie Edwards, and Alisha Edwards) had a live promo. JDC, who had recently gotten married, revealed that he and his wife had been speaking about his wrestling career before he announced that, after Genesis the following January, he would retire from in-ring competition. [5] [6] The next week, TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian met with Santino Marella backstage, demanding an apology for ever thinking he was involved in the invasion by the NXT wrestlers last week. Marella brushed him off as he had a meeting with JDC later. JDC would then walk in as Kazarian insulted his wife. Offended, JDC tried to goad Kazarian into giving him a title match. Though Kazarian refused, Marella would declare that if JDC defeated Eric Young in the main event that night, he would have his opportunity at the world title at Final Resolution. He would win the match, thus making the world title match between him and Kazarian official. [9] [10] [11]
At Turning Point, Leon Slater successfully defended the TNA X Division Championship against Rich Swann. After the match, Slater and Swann shared a moment of respect when the latter shook hands with the former. [7] [8] This didn't sit well with Swann's Fir$t Cla$$ teammate A. J. Francis, who, on the subsequent episode of TNA Impact!, berated Swann for failing to win the title. Slater would try to smooth things out, but Francis rebuked him while eyeing his title. [9] [10] TNA would later announce that Slater would defend the X Division Championship against Francis at Turning Point. [11]
On the November 20 episode of TNA Impact!, Mance Warner defeated Matt Cardona due to interference by his wife Steph De Lander. [9] [10] Backstage after the match, a frustrated Cardona put out a challenge to Warner and De Lander for a street fight, which TNA announced for Final Resolution. [11]
Two four-way matches were held on the November 20 TNA Impact!, where the winners of both matches would face each other in a singles match in two weeks; the winner of that match would become the number one contender to the TNA Knockouts World Championship at Final Resolution. [11] In the first four-way match, Dani Luna defeated Indi Hartwell, Rosemary, and Myla Grace to advance to the number one contender's match. Later that night, Xia Brookside defeated Jody Threat, Killer Kelly, and Victoria Crawford to also advance. [9] [10] The reigning TNA Knockouts World Champion is NXT wrestler Kelani Jordan, who is scheduled to defend the title in a triple threat match against fellow NXT wrestler Jordynne Grace and TNA wrestler Léi Yǐng Lee on the second week of NXT: Gold Rush.
