TNA Wrestling Returns to Canada with Historic Live Events in Edmonton Leading to Bound For Glory

TNA Wrestling is making a highly anticipated return to Canada with its first-ever live events in Edmonton, Alberta, set to electrify fans on September 26 and 27, 2025. The action-packed weekend will feature the thrilling Victory Road pay-per-view, followed by a special TNA iMPACT taping, marking the final shows ahead of the company’s flagship pay-per-view, Bound For Glory[2][3].

Since its inception, TNA has cultivated a passionate fanbase worldwide, and this Edmonton stop is poised to be a record-breaking back-to-back live event series held at the Edmonton Expo Centre, dramatically expanding the company’s footprint in Canada. The combined attendance is expected to be among the largest for TNA shows in the market[2].

Victory Road 2025, the 65th edition of the Impact Plus special, will headline the events on Friday, September 26. The card boasts marquee championship bouts including:

  • TNA Knockouts World Championship: Ash By Elegance (accompanied by The Personal Concierge) defending against Masha Slamovich with Indi Hartwell as the special guest referee.

  • TNA World Tag Team Championship: The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy) defending against The Nemeths (Nic Nemeth & Ryan Nemeth).

  • TNA International Championship: Steve Maclin defending against Frankie Kazarian[1][5].

Additionally, other high-stakes matches include Leon Slater’s defense of the TNA X Division Championship, and exciting singles competition featuring Mike Santana versus Ridge Holland[1][5].

The following day, Saturday, September 27, will bring fans an exclusive TNA iMPACT taping that promises to deliver the signature high-energy wrestling and story developments TNA is known for, setting the stage for Bound For Glory[3][7].

In the lead-up to these landmark events, several TNA stars have been available for extensive media engagements, including interviews and meet-and-greet sessions over September 24 and 25. Key stars such as Ash By Elegance, Eric Young, Santino Marella, Trick Williams (TNA World Champion), Leon Slater (X-Division Champion), Matt Hardy, and Steve Maclin have participated in Q&A sessions and photo opportunities, creating palpable buzz around the shows[2][4].

Thursday, September 25, will host the “Night of Champions” at The Rec Room in South Edmonton—a rare Q&A event moderated by Santino Marella alongside Gia Miller. This session will provide fans with an intimate look at the wrestlers’ perspectives ahead of the weekend’s high-profile matches and includes additional fan interaction opportunities[2].

According to sources close to WWE and Fightful, this strategic move to bring TNA live events to Edmonton is part of a broader push to revitalize and expand the company’s presence in North America, highlighted by strengthening its Canadian fanbase ahead of Bound For Glory, which remains one of the most important dates on the pro wrestling calendar[3].

Backstage insiders shared, “The Edmonton shows represent a massive opportunity for TNA to showcase its top-tier talent in a fresh market hungry for live wrestling action. The energy backstage is electric, and the wrestlers are fired up to deliver unforgettable performances for the fans.” This sentiment underscores TNA’s commitment to quality storytelling and in-ring excellence while reaffirming the company’s ambition for growth[3].

Furthermore, TNA Wrestling continues to innovate with a strong digital presence. Its flagship streaming platform TNA+ will broadcast Victory Road live, alongside availability on mainstream streaming platforms like Pluto TV, Roku, and Samsung TV Plus. This combination of live shows and digital accessibility ensures fans worldwide can engage with TNA programming conveniently[2].

Tickets for the Edmonton events have been in high demand, prompting additional seats to be added to the Edmonton Expo Centre. The company’s official website confirms that both Victory Road on September 26 and the iMPACT taping on September 27 are expected to sell out, solidifying the excitement and momentum behind these inaugural Edmonton shows[2][6][7][8].

As the wrestling world keeps an eye on these Canadian events, the final shows before Bound For Glory are shaping up to be a pivotal moment for TNA. Fans can expect explosive matches, star appearances, and memorable moments that build anticipation for the company’s biggest event of the year.

For additional updates and tickets, fans are encouraged to visit the official TNA Wrestling event page, and keep track of dynamic coverage through WWE.com, Fightful, and popular wrestling podcasts and interview platforms[3][4].

The return to Canada is more than just a set of shows; it signals a renewed commitment to growth, fan engagement, and delivering top-tier professional wrestling. Edmonton’s Edmonton Expo Centre is set to be the hot spot for wrestling fans on September 26-27 as TNA Wrestling brings its unique blend of athleticism and entertainment back to Canadian soil.
