TNA Wrestling’s Genesis pay-per-view is shaping up to be one of the most loaded cards in recent memory—and now it’s even bigger.

Coming out of the January 8th episode of TNA iMPACT, two major matches have been added to the January 17th event, which will emanate from the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas.

Headlining the new additions is a TNA Knockouts World Championship match, as reigning champ Léi Yǐng Lee will defend her title against Dani Luna. The Knockouts division has been heating up in recent months, and Luna’s momentum has officially earned her a title shot on the PPV stage.

Also added is a personal grudge match between A.J. Francis and Rich Swann. With First Cla$$ officially split, Swann finally got a taste of revenge on the January 8th broadcast—but things are far from over. Now, the two former allies will meet one-on-one at Genesis to settle their score.

And that’s not all—Joe Hendry is also set to appear at Genesis.

Here’s the updated TNA Genesis 2026 card:

  • J.D.C.’s Retirement Match: J.D.C. vs. Eddie Edwards
  • TNA X Division Championship – Triple Threat Match: Leon Slater (c) vs. Moose vs. Cedric Alexander
  • Elijah vs. Mustafa Ali (with Tasha Steelz, Jason Hotch, John Skyler & Agent Zero)
  • Joe Hendry appearance
  • TNA World Tag Team Championship: The Hardys (c) vs. The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch)
  • TNA Knockouts World Championship: Léi Yǐng Lee (c) vs. Dani Luna
  • Grudge Match: A.J. Francis vs. Rich Swann

With championships on the line, faction breakups reaching a boiling point, and surprise appearances lined up, Genesis is set to deliver fireworks in Texas.
