00:18NXT's Fatal Influence ready for action here on TNA Explosion with
00:24the TNA Knockouts World Championship currently in the hands of
00:29J.C. Jain.
00:31Only seems fitting for Fallon Henley and Jasmine Nix to dive into action here in
00:35the Impact Zone, however, there's been some trouble in paradise within Fatal
00:39Influence for those that have watched NXT.
00:42If you kept your eyes on the scene, you know that things aren't always pitch
00:47perfect, but tonight it is all about these two and getting it done in tag team action.
00:59And their opponents first from Chongqing, China, Lei Ying Li.
01:15Lei Ying Li came to the aid of Masha Slamovich amidst the title versus title winner takes all match that went down at Slammiversary.
01:21You can relive that match anytime on demand on TNA+.
01:27And her tag team partner, Ziya Brookside!
01:43I spoke to Ziya Brookside earlier on today.
01:46I believe this is her first time competing in New England.
01:50She was very excited.
01:52Well, hopefully, did she know why it was named New England?
01:55She did not!
01:56I'll ask her later.
01:57But either way, Ziya Brookside also on that night at Slammiversary joined Lei Ying Li.
02:03These two, of course, very good friends outside of the ring.
02:06They backed up the then TNA Knockouts World Champ Masha Slamovich.
02:12Unfortunately, as you mentioned, that championship now still residing in the camp of NXT and Fatal Influence.
02:21Still trying to wrap my head around the entirety of this situation,
02:24but every member of the TNA roster is working hard to rectify that situation.
02:30You can see Fatal Influence not making any friends here.
02:34But I understand Lei Ying Li going hot out of the gates here.
02:37A cover and a kick out on Jasmine Nix.
02:41Now they've basically walked into even more than ever enemy territory here in TNA.
02:46You better watch your back.
02:48You are an NXT star coming in here,
02:51given the current environment and the tempers that are flaring.
02:54In comes Fallon Henley.
02:57Former NXT Women's North American Champion.
03:03This will be a great test for both teams.
03:05Both teams here know each other very well as far as their teammates.
03:10These are not just thrown together teams here, folks.
03:13These are two very close individuals on either side of the ring.
03:15Cover hook to the leg and a kick out, Lei Ying Li and Zia Brookside have formed a great friendship in and out of the ring over the last handful of months here at TNA Wrestling.
03:24Meanwhile, seen it a couple of times on NXT, Ray.
03:27Well, it seems like Henley and Nix are not on the same page at times.
03:30No, but this is what I mean.
03:32They still do know each other so well.
03:34This is a chance for them to get back on the bright side of things, but Zia Brookside making that rather difficult at the moment.
03:42The second rope, the angel of the ring, the cross body.
03:48Trying to grab a hold of Henley here.
03:50Cover and a kick out at one.
03:53Zia Brookside's father, the UK legend.
03:57Robbie Brookside is actually out of hand in training the likes of all Fatal Influence and many more.
04:01And you can see Nix take advantage behind the referee.
04:04He's back, use the top rope and down goes Zia Brookside courtesy of Fallon Henley.
04:10You think Robbie taught him that one?
04:12It's entirely possible.
04:15Any which way you shake it, Fatal Influence has just shaken this match up, taking firm control here.
04:21Tag.
04:22With Zia Brookside having nowhere to go.
04:25In comes Jasmine Nix, knee right to the midsection by Henley.
04:29Fatal Influence is in command right now.
04:31Here's the cover.
04:32Referee Alice Lane in position, kick out at two.
04:35Zia Brookside.
04:36Cover, shoulders down, a kick out.
04:38Of course a kick out.
04:39Another cover, another cover, perhaps out of frustration here.
04:43Hey, every time you make someone kick out, you make them expend even more energy,
04:48which gives them even less to try to crawl for that tag with Hughes to fight back.
04:54Oh, and Brookside, heavy shots here.
04:57Brief two-on-one opportunity for Fatal Influence, however.
05:00Referee trying to get one and one.
05:03Uh-oh.
05:03Oh, down goes Brookside.
05:07Giant double-team flapjack there, and it follows up.
05:11Nicely done.
05:12The symmetry there by Fatal Influence nearly got them the win.
05:19You can see the frustration starting to set in for Fallon Henley here.
05:22It's been going on a little too long for her liking as Brookside.
05:31Brookside knows she's going to have to fight her way to laying leg.
05:33Up past Nix.
05:34Can she get past Fallon Henley?
05:36Look at the great transition there from Brookside, countering into the monkey flip.
05:47This is TNA Explosion on the campus of the University of Rhode Island in Kingston.
05:52The action continues here in our main event. Laying Lee into the fight.
06:00Laying Lee is taking it to Fatal Influence.
06:03That impeccable striking ability that Lee is known for.
06:11Oh, and Jasmine Nix is in trouble.
06:13Hammer fist! Hammer fist! Hammer fist!
06:22Right on the crown of the skull.
06:24Laying Lee wraps the deadliest striker in all of TNA Wrestling.
06:28The Exploder Suplex now setting up Jasmine Nix.
06:34Oh!
06:36Big kick right to the back of the neck.
06:38Here's the cover.
06:39Oh, and it's broken up by Henley.
06:41Good save there.
06:43And now Brookside!
06:44A code breaker sending Henley clean out of the ring and a Pele kick.
06:49Everything breaking down here.
06:52Oh, now Jasmine Nix, hold on.
06:55One, two, three.
06:56By the Fisherman Suplex there.
06:59Lee seemed to get her shoulder off the mat.
07:00Able to counter!
07:02Oh!
07:02Big spinning heel kick!
07:04Thunderstruck!
07:05One, two, three!
07:08Now hoist it up!
07:13Round and round!
07:15The spinning face buster by Laying Lee!
07:18Is it enough?
07:19Two, three!
07:21Lee and Brookside!
07:22What a fatal influence!
07:25Here are your winners!
07:27The team of Ziya Brookside and Laying Lee!
07:34That is a big win for Lee and Brookside.
07:38They turn away another set of NXT invaders, if you will.
07:47This is the type of effort it's gonna take from every member of the TNA roster on the path
