Stacks took his feud with Santino Marella somewhere deeply personal on the January 1, 2026 episode of TNA iMPACT, delivering a line that immediately overshadowed everything else said in the segment.
The moment came after Arianna Grace appeared alongside Team NXT and finally explained why she turned on her father. With Stacks standing at her side, Grace laid out years of resentment and made it clear she was done living under Santinos name. Grace addressed the perception around her image and why she felt invisible. She then explained how deeply rooted the issue was for her.
Grace said the breaking point came when she quietly disappeared from TNA television without even being told. She revealed how she found out she had been removed.
Grace framed it as part of a long pattern. She closed by making her stance clear.
Thats when Stacks took the mic and turned the situation from emotional to incendiary. He addressed Santino directly and dropped the line that instantly became the headline.
The remark reframed the entire angle in one sentence, pushing the rivalry past authority issues and straight into provocation and humiliation. With Grace openly rejecting her father and Stacks leaning fully into the tension, this story now feels far more personal than professional.
