Let’s predict the winners for TNA Genesis 2026
Ryan Nemeth vs Mara Sade
This is the intergender match that will take place at this PPV. This is one of the rarest Matches where a man will take on a woman. Ryan Nemeth is the brother of Nic Nemeth and he will have the physical advantage. Mara Sade is the strongest woman in TNA. This match will not be long and Ryan Nemeth will win this match. TNA can show the wrestling world what a good intergender match looks like.
Mike Santana vs Frankie Kazarian for TNA World Championship in a Texas Death match
The Texas Death match is making a comeback after a while. This is one of the most brutal matches where there will be blood. The catch is that Nic Nemeth will be the special guest referee. Mike Santana won the TNA World Championship on 15th January and he will defend it just 2 days later. This will be a big test for Frankie Kazarian who is in the later stages of his career. Tables, chairs, ladders will be used as weapons. Mike Santana will win this match and continue his second reign as the champion.
Lei Ying Lee vs Zaria for TNA Knockouts Championship
The TNA Knockouts Championship will also be defended at this PPV. Lei Ying Lee is the champion and she is a beloved champion. She will face Zaria from NXT. It is good to see the relationship between WWE and NXT continuing in the new era for TNA. This will be a physical match and Sol Ruca will be in the corner with her friend. Lei Ying Lee will win the match and will continue being the Champion.
Channing Lorenzo vs Eric Young vs BDE for TNA International Championship
AEW and TNA have one thing in common and it is the International Championship. The TNA International Championship will be defended in a multi man match. This match will be between Channing Lorenzo from NXT and he is the defending champion. He will face Eric Young who is one of the most experienced wrestlers in TNA and the third opponent will be BDE. He is a wrestling content creator who also wrestles. He has signed with TNA. BDE will win this match as TNA would want their new title to get limelight.
The Hardys vs The Righteous for TNA Tag Team Championship
The Hardys are the tag team champions. They will have a match on the first PPV of the new year. They will defend the TNA Tag Team Championship against The Righteous. Vincent and Dutch are the members of The Righteous. This match will be a Banger. The Hardys never have a bad match. The Hardys will retain the tag team titles as they have more feuds to complete.
Cedric Alexander vs Moose vs Joe Hendry
This match is the one with perhaps the most star power in the PPV. This triple threat match could steal the entire show. Cedric Alexander has been killing it and he has had great matches ever since arriving in TNA. Moose is a veteran in TNA and he is in the later stages of his career. He will be the most powerful man. Joe Hendry is the second WWE superstar that will be in this match. He will get the most cheers. Picking a winner in this match is difficult. Moose will win this match as he needs this win.
AJ Francis vs Rich Swann
This is one of the singles matches at this show that is not for a title. TNA wants to show the wrestling world their star power. This will be a very good match. AJ Francis is a heel that everyone hates. Rich Swann is one of the most beloved babyfaces. The crowd will be loud for this one. AJ Francis will win this one by cheating. The fans cannot have everything.
Elijah vs Mustafa Ali
This is the comeback match for Elijah to professional wrestling PPVs. Elijah has not had a PPV match in over 6 months. He could not have picked a better in-ring partner than Mustafa Ali. This match will be a reminder of how good Mustafa Ali is. Elijah will also show the world why he is one of the modern greats. Mustafa Ali will win this match.
JDC vs Eddie Edwards in the retirement match for JDC
This will be the last wrestling match for JDC. JDC has had an exceptional career. He will be the third wrestler to retire after John Cena and Hiroshi Tanahashi in recent months. The winner of this match is the easiest as Eddie Edwards will win this match and retire from JDC.
