The 6/22 edition of TNA iMPACT! drew a final 1.1 cable rating. This is up from the 0.8 rating the show did last week, which was partially because of the show being bumped an hour later and stiff competition from the NBA Finals. This is also up from the show 2 weeks ago which did a 1.0.

Some are saying that this was the first week Impact did not have the UFC Ultimate Fighter 3 lead-in, so that this number was drawn completely by TNA and therefore very impressive. However, this is incorrect. Last week's episode of Ultimate Fighter 3 was replayed before Impact this week, so TNA did have the ever precious UFC lead-in.
