Production
[edit]Background
[edit]TNA previously held a pay-per-view event titled Unbreakable in 2005,[1] and a monthly special in 2019 (then known as Impact Wrestling).[2]
On, February 13, 2025, TNA announced that Unbreakable will take place on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at the Cox Pavilion in Paradise, Nevada.[3]
Storylines
[edit]The event will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]
On the April 3 episode of TNA Impact!, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella came to the stage for an announcement, interrupting a promo between self-declared co-TNA Digital Media Champions Steph De Lander and Mance Warner. After demanding De Lander surrender the title belt, Marella immediately deactivated it to replace it with the TNA International Championship.[5][6] The inaugural champion would be determined via a tournament culminating at Unbreakable, consisting of three three-way matches where the winners meet in the three-way finals, in honor of the 20th anniversary of the three-way match between AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and TNA X Division Champion Christopher Daniels that main evented the first Unbreakable event - a match considered to be one of the greatest in TNA history and that helped put TNA on the map as a major national promotion.
The first-round matches would be announced later that night – Eddie Edwards vs. Ace Austin vs. Steve Maclin; Zachary Wentz vs. JDC vs. Eric Young; and A. J. Francis vs. Mance Warner vs. Sami Callihan.[7]
