Mystery Partner Revealed in TNA Impact Showdown

Tempe, Arizona – Matt Cardona faced off against Eddie Edwards and JDC in a tag team match during TNA Impact on June 19, 2025. Cardona arrived with a mystery partner, later revealed to be The Home Town Man, who many speculate is Cody Deaner despite his denials.

The match began with The Home Town Man surprising everyone by scoring a quick roll-up victory. This victory added to the intrigue surrounding his identity, as Deaner has not won a match in TNA in over a year. His unexpected appearance raised questions about whether he could indeed be Deaner, with commentators noting the irony of his comeback.

After the match, The System reacted aggressively, with Brian Myers, Johnny Dango, Curtis, and Edwards attacking The Home Town Man. Cardona intervened, leading to a brawl, which further fueled speculation about Myers’ allegiance. Although Myers refrained from attacking Cardona, his discomfort with the situation was evident, hinting at a possible future conflict within The System.

The Home Town Man’s electrifying performance captivated the Tempe crowd. The TNA commentators are convinced that the masked wrestler could indeed be Cody Deaner, referencing past events when he lost a critical match. This comeback has spurred discussions among fans and analysts alike about Deaner’s potential return.

The tapings from Pittsburgh this weekend promise to shed more light on The Home Town Man’s identity as TNA continues its path to Slammiversary.
