The mystery attackers who have been terrorizing the TNA Wrestling roster for months finally revealed themselves on the September 24, 2026 episode of TNA iMPACT, and they turned out to be former WWE stars. Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw, formerly known as Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis during their time as part of the Wyatt Sicks in WWE, made their arrival on the show under the collective name “Syx.”
According to Ringside News and 411Mania, Sawyer and Shaw attacked The Hardys during the broadcast, continuing a pattern of backstage assaults on TNA talent that had been building for several months. Fightful reported that Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy had already been among those targeted in the earlier string of attacks and used the September 24 episode to call out the mystery aggressors, only for the masked pair to show up and lay them out again.
TNA moved swiftly to make the arrivals official, announcing on social media shortly after the broadcast that both Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw had signed with the company, per Ringside News.
Fightful reported that the storyline is set to continue on the October 1, 2026 edition of TNA iMPACT, with The Hardys expected to call out Sawyer and Shaw directly. That episode is also slated to feature an X Division Title match qualifier among other segments, according to Fightful’s preview of the card.
What Comes Next
With Syx now confirmed as the group behind the ongoing backstage attacks, TNA appears to be building toward a direct confrontation between The Hardys and the newly signed duo. The exact stipulation or format for any future match has not been announced.
