Santino Marella’s Job on the Line at TNA Against All Odds After Major Announcement on iMPACT!

The June 5, 2025 episode of TNA iMPACT! featured a major turning point in the company’s power structure. During a live promo, Santino Marella announced that he’ll face Robert Stone at Against All Odds—and the outcome will decide both men’s futures in TNA.

The stipulation is clear—the winner becomes Director of Authority, and the loser must leave TNA.

Robert Stone, joined by Victoria Crawford, interrupted Marella during the segment, leading to a tense exchange that sealed the match. With both men now fighting for control of the company—or their job entirely—the stakes couldn’t be higher.

TNA Against All Odds airs live on Friday, June 6, 2025, from the Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona. The show will stream on TNA+ at 10 PM ET. As a reminder, Ringside News will have live play-by-play coverage.

Confirmed matches for the event include:

• TNA World Championship: Trick Williams vs. Elijah
• TNA World Tag Team Championship: The Nemeths (Nic and Ryan Nemeth) (c) vs. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz)
• TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs. Lei Ying Lee
• Santino Marella vs. Robert Stone – Winner becomes Director of Authority, loser must leave TNA
• Joe Hendry vs. Frankie Kazarian

Santino Marella has everything to lose—and so does Robert Stone. After Against All Odds, one man will be in charge, and the other will be gone for good.
