The special edition of TNA Impact on AXS TV, Sportsnet and TNA+ from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, began with a show full of surprises on Thursday, February 20, 2025.
The evening started with the Joe Hendry Encore Championship Concert, where TNA world champion Joe Hendry delighted the public with his music in the ring.
However, the presentation was abruptly interrupted by the debut of The Colons, Eddie and Orlando, the Puerto Rican duo that made its shocking entrance to the public's ovation. While the fans chanted “Where is Carlito?!”, The newcomers took the microphone to go to the audience. But before they could develop their speech, they were interrupted again, this time by another debutant: Elijah.
Elijah, previously known in WWE as Elias, appeared to join the action and surprised the public by joining Hendry in a musical presentation. The chemistry between the two on stage generated a great reaction of the crowd, giving rise to the intervention of Santino Marella, the director of Authority of TNA.
Marella did not waste time and decided to capitalize on the moment, announcing a couples fight as the star event of the night: Joe Hendry & Elijah against The Colians.
