00:00:00TNA Wrestling presents Bound for Glory, Sunday, October 12th.

00:00:05Tickets on sale now at TNAWrestling.com.

00:00:11There's an opportunity tonight for everybody that's involved in this

00:00:15that not many people get the chance to do,

00:00:17and that's introducing a brand new title to carry the weight of the TNA International title.

00:00:23It's a big deal to me because for a long time in this business,

00:00:28I feel like I never got the respect that I deserve.

00:00:32There's people on this roster nobody gave a shit about until they started wrestling with me.

00:00:37I've been here a long time.

00:00:39Almost 30 years, totally.

00:00:41It's personal to me.

00:00:43It's always been personal, but at this point in my life,

00:00:45at this point in my career,

00:00:47I don't know if it could be more personal on a professional level.

00:00:54I try to go out there and give 150% out of the 100%

00:00:58that I am able to catch.

00:01:02That's my goal.

00:01:08We crowned a new champion back at Unbreakable.

00:01:11We're going to crown a new Knockouts World Champion tonight.

00:01:15It began with this battle royal,

00:01:17which was won by Laney Lee and Kalani Jordan of NXT.

00:01:22Per Santino Morella, the last two in this battle royal,

00:01:27would go on to face each other one-on-one tonight

00:01:30for the vacant Knockouts World Championship.

00:01:34It was a very unexpected beginning to the events here at Victory Road,

00:01:38but any which way you throw it,

00:01:41we will make history here tonight

00:01:43with a brand new Knockouts World Champion.

00:01:46Earlier on this evening,

00:01:47Ash by Elegance was forced to relinquish

00:01:50the Knockouts World Championship,

00:01:51having to step away from in-ring competition.

00:01:53So it's come down to this.

00:01:55With Indy Hartwell as the special guest referee,

00:01:58Laney Lee of TNA,

00:02:00Kalani Jordan of NXT,

00:02:02we're about to crown the new Knockouts World Champion.

00:02:06And as it was confirmed earlier on tonight

00:02:29by our broadcast colleague,

00:02:30Gia Miller, two weeks from Sunday,

00:02:32live on pay-per-view in TNA Plus

00:02:33in Lowell, Massachusetts, Indy Hartwell,

00:02:37the number one contender to the Knockouts World Championship,

00:02:40will challenge whomever is the champion

00:02:43at bound for glory.

00:02:46Indy Hartwell keeps her matchup,

00:02:49and tonight she gets a very close look

00:02:52at who her opponent will be.

00:02:54This is a great scouting opportunity

00:02:57for Indy Hartwell.

00:03:11Victory Road has been full of surprises

00:03:14from Spite Elegance relinquishing

00:03:16the Knockouts World Championship

00:03:18through the method in which we're getting

00:03:20to this moment to crown a new champion,

00:03:22but the appearance of Kalani Jordan from NXT,

00:03:27a shocker to everyone this evening.

00:03:30I mean, no doubt about it,

00:03:31a history maker in her own right,

00:03:33I mentioned it earlier tonight,

00:03:34the inaugural NXT Women's North American Champion.

00:03:39Tonight, she can make history again

00:03:41by becoming Knockouts World Champion.

00:03:45And Tom, I don't even know how to put it in the universe.

00:03:47We could find ourselves in a situation yet again

00:03:50that we were so proud of Ash by Elegance

00:03:52for writing with an NXT superstar

00:03:55holding TNA gold.

00:03:57Just four weeks ago at WWE Heatwave,

00:04:00Ash by Elegance brought this,

00:04:02the Knockouts World Championship,

00:04:04home to TNA Wrestling.

00:04:06Now the pressure is on Laying Lee

00:04:08to keep it in TNA.

00:04:10O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O

00:04:40Earlier this year Laying Lee did challenge for the Knockouts World Championship

00:04:56Knows what the pressure of a match like this can bring

00:04:59But this is completely different

00:05:01Everything that has transpired this evening

00:05:04Zaya Brookside supporting Laying Lee

00:05:06Our tag team partner within the Angel Warriors

00:05:09Who's got to mean a tremendous amount

00:05:10But Lee's fighting for herself

00:05:13Trying to make history

00:05:14Fighting on the half of TNA Wrestling

00:05:16How in the world do you compartmentalize your emotions?

00:05:20And especially all of this being sprung upon them

00:05:23Just tonight

00:05:24None of this was scheduled as we began our broadcast

00:05:28Here tonight in Edmonton

00:05:29So everybody's been trying to think on their feet

00:05:33Especially the entire Knockouts Division

00:05:35So trying to

00:05:37In a moment like this

00:05:38On a night like this

00:05:39You just move one moment at a time

00:05:42Following contest is scheduled for one fall

00:05:52And is for the TNA Knockouts World Championship

00:06:01Introducing first

00:06:05From Boynton Beach, Florida

00:06:08Kalani Jordan

00:06:15And her opponent

00:06:22From Chongqing, China

00:06:26Blay Ying

00:06:29Blay

00:06:31And again Indy Hartwell

00:06:47A very important position here

00:06:49As the official in this matchup

00:06:51Crowning a brand new

00:06:54World Champion

00:06:56And getting

00:06:58A very close view

00:07:02At who she will be competing with

00:07:04At Bound for Glory

00:07:05In a shocking turn of events

00:07:14We are about to crown

00:07:16The new TNA Knockouts World Champion

00:07:19Between TNA's Laying Lee

00:07:21And NXT's Kalani Jordan

00:07:24With Indy Hartwell

00:07:26Of TNA

00:07:27As the special guest referee

00:07:29And mind you

00:07:31Indy Hartwell

00:07:32Is the number one contender

00:07:34For this championship

00:07:35Come Bound for Glory

00:07:36But also

00:07:37Company pride is at stake

00:07:39After what happened this past Tuesday night

00:07:41Especially

00:07:41Great sportsmanship here

00:07:43That was shown between Jordan and Lee

00:07:45But

00:07:45Do you think Indy Hartwell

00:07:46Can remain in partnership?

00:07:47I mean

00:07:48Quite frankly

00:07:50I don't want her to remain impartial

00:07:52If I'm being honest with you

00:07:54But

00:07:54I think she's more focused

00:07:56Rather on

00:07:57She has to talk about

00:07:58Talk about

00:08:00Compartmentalizing

00:08:01Excuse me

00:08:02Exactly

00:08:02You have to kind of

00:08:05Keep it focused

00:08:06On what is ahead of you

00:08:07You kind of have to put

00:08:08The tensions between

00:08:09TNA and NXT aside

00:08:11For Indy Hartwell

00:08:12It's got to be all about

00:08:13Bound for Glory

00:08:14Indy doing the right thing there

00:08:16Separating the two combatants

00:08:17In the corner

00:08:18Struggled here early on

00:08:20Between Lee and Jordan

00:08:21Jordan for those that are

00:08:24Not familiar with her work

00:08:25Is one of the fastest rising stars

00:08:27In NXT

00:08:27Her adaptability

00:08:29To the world of professional wrestling

00:08:31Has been truly remarkable

00:08:32Not only in strength and agility

00:08:35She's a former gymnast

00:08:36All kinds of acrobatic

00:08:38And aerial prowess as well

00:08:40And has taken to wrestling

00:08:41Very, very fast

00:08:43There are some people

00:08:44Who you watch

00:08:45And they just get it

00:08:46They just click

00:08:47She is one of those competitors

00:08:49Former Michigan State Spartan

00:08:51Now Laying Lee

00:08:52Trying to hang here

00:08:54With Jordan in the early going

00:08:55We know what Laying Lee

00:08:57Is all about

00:08:58Mixed martial arts background

00:08:59Wants to play the striking game

00:09:01But can certainly go down

00:09:02To the mat

00:09:03And gain control

00:09:04Give the power advantage

00:09:10To Lee

00:09:10The striking ability as well

00:09:12But again

00:09:12I would probably give

00:09:13The agility and speed

00:09:15To Jordan

00:09:16It's a tough guess

00:09:19To see which one

00:09:20Will win out

00:09:21Just about two years ago

00:09:23Raywell at Rebellion 2023

00:09:25Another instance

00:09:26Where the Knockouts World Championship

00:09:27Was vacant

00:09:29Due to injury at the time

00:09:31With future TNA Hall of Famer

00:09:33Mickey James

00:09:34Had to relinquish the title

00:09:35We had a tremendous match

00:09:37That night in Toronto

00:09:38Deanna Perrazzo

00:09:39Became the new champion

00:09:40Defeating Jordan Grace

00:09:41And a history repeating itself

00:09:44In some ways here

00:09:45Years later

00:09:45That's right

00:09:47We move on

00:09:48We gotta move forward

00:09:51We have to find

00:09:52A new champion

00:09:53To lead this

00:09:55Knockouts division

00:09:56Always has been

00:09:57In my mind

00:09:58Always will be

00:09:58One of the most

00:09:59Competitive women's divisions

00:10:01On the planet

00:10:02In professional wrestling

00:10:04Oh

00:10:05On the move

00:10:05Nice job there by Lee

00:10:07To take Jordan off

00:10:08For a feet

00:10:08Knee right to the face

00:10:09Lee trying to push

00:10:10The pace here

00:10:11This is very smart

00:10:12Metal to the metal

00:10:13Cover

00:10:14Cover and a kick out

00:10:15By Jordan

00:10:16Good steady count

00:10:17There by Indy

00:10:18Not letting your opponent

00:10:19Breathe

00:10:20You don't want to give him

00:10:21Any chance to recover

00:10:23Get back in the game

00:10:24Lee trying to push

00:10:27That advantage

00:10:28Jordan felt it coming

00:10:29Tremendous adaptability

00:10:31By Jordan

00:10:32In her young

00:10:33Wrestling career

00:10:34Off the splash

00:10:35Here's the cover

00:10:36Trying to win the title

00:10:37And a kick out

00:10:37Unlike most title matches

00:10:43There is no champion's advantage

00:10:44Or anything of the like

00:10:45Both competitors here

00:10:47Have everything to win

00:10:48And everything to lose

00:10:49Shoulders down

00:10:50By Lee

00:10:51Now Jordan

00:10:52And a kick out

00:10:53Double A takedown

00:10:57Jackknife cover

00:10:58Lee trying to win the title

00:11:00And a bridge out by Jordan

00:11:01Very impressive

00:11:03I told you

00:11:04I thought the strength game

00:11:05Would go to

00:11:05To Lee

00:11:07Shoulders down

00:11:08And a kick out

00:11:09But man

00:11:10What power

00:11:10By Jordan there

00:11:12Sweep out the legs

00:11:13Finally does

00:11:14Jordan pressing

00:11:15The shoulders down

00:11:16Another kick out

00:11:17Lee this time

00:11:17Returns the favor

00:11:18And a kick out

00:11:19A bridge out

00:11:20As well there by Jordan

00:11:21Keep it up

00:11:23The pace

00:11:23And a stalemate

00:11:25In the middle

00:11:26Of this one

00:11:26Now it is back

00:11:35To the drawing board

00:11:36For both

00:11:37Lee Ying Lee

00:11:38Extending the hand

00:11:39Once again

00:11:40Chance for both

00:11:50TNA and NXT

00:11:52Tonight in Edmonton

00:11:54TNA Knockouts World Championship

00:11:58Can trace its lineage

00:11:59All the way back

00:12:00To 2007

00:12:01Oh what a kick out

00:12:022007 it

00:12:04Bound for glory

00:12:05The first champion

00:12:06The TNA Hall of Famer

00:12:07Gail Kim

00:12:08Ever since then

00:12:09The Knockouts World Championship

00:12:11Has been the most

00:12:12Consistent representation

00:12:13Of opportunity

00:12:15And excellence

00:12:16In women's wrestling

00:12:17And now

00:12:19Lee

00:12:20Raining down

00:12:21These hammer fists

00:12:22To the skull

00:12:24Of Kalani Jordan

00:12:25Here

00:12:26Shot right to the skull

00:12:31There

00:12:32Laying Lee

00:12:33Oh

00:12:35Launching Jordan

00:12:36Scrambling for the cover

00:12:38Trying to win

00:12:39The vacant title

00:12:40And a kick out

00:12:40A lot of resilience

00:12:43Shown by Kalani Jordan

00:12:44Here

00:12:44I have to give her credit

00:12:46What a scene here

00:12:50At the Edmonton

00:12:50Expo Center

00:12:51What this crowd

00:12:52Has witnessed tonight

00:12:53The constant change

00:12:55Surrounding the Knockouts

00:12:56World Championship

00:12:57From the second

00:12:58He came on the air

00:12:59Virtually

00:12:59Now up onto the shoulders

00:13:01And this is something

00:13:03Laying Lee

00:13:04Has used to win matches

00:13:05Quite a bit recently

00:13:06Going for a spinning

00:13:07Face buster

00:13:08Jordan able to escape it

00:13:10Almost ran into

00:13:12Indy Hartwell though

00:13:13Now Lee

00:13:15Almost into Hartwell

00:13:16Two collisions

00:13:17With the referee

00:13:20Beautifully done

00:13:23Northern lights

00:13:24I'm going to kick out

00:13:24By Lee

00:13:25With the bridge as well

00:13:27Jordan

00:13:27Very impressive there

00:13:28But not enough

00:13:30To put Lee away

00:13:31I'll say this

00:13:33Thus far

00:13:33Hartwell has called

00:13:34This down the middle

00:13:35Oh

00:13:37Single leg

00:13:38Boston crab

00:13:39Modified here

00:13:40There's no animosity

00:13:42Here

00:13:42This is just

00:13:43A scouting opportunity

00:13:44Disguised as a

00:13:46Referee position

00:13:47For Indy Hartwell

00:13:49Exactly

00:13:49Meanwhile

00:13:51This has been

00:13:51An excellent showcase

00:13:52Between Kalani Jordan

00:13:54And Laying Lee

00:13:55This is what

00:13:55The TNA Knockouts

00:13:57World Championship

00:13:58Is all about

00:13:59Jordan getting nasty there

00:14:02Some of the crowd

00:14:03May not like it

00:14:04But it is damn sure

00:14:05Effective

00:14:06Single leg

00:14:06Boston crab

00:14:07Shades of Alberta's

00:14:09Own Lance Storm

00:14:10Here tonight

00:14:11At Victory Road

00:14:12Look out

00:14:15Oh

00:14:16And there goes

00:14:17Kalani Jordan

00:14:18Hard to the outside

00:14:19Well placed counter

00:14:21Put Jordan

00:14:23All the way

00:14:23To the outside

00:14:24FI's

00:14:25Laying Lee

00:14:26Much needed time

00:14:27Kalani Jordan

00:14:31Collecting herself

00:14:32Getting back up

00:14:33To the apron

00:14:33Now think about

00:14:34Going to the top

00:14:35Turnbuckle here

00:14:35Oh

00:14:36Oh

00:14:37The palm strike by Lee

00:14:42And another

00:14:43Little bit of payback

00:14:44For those kicks

00:14:45Moments ago

00:14:46Maybe the respect

00:14:48Starting to

00:14:49Bleed out the window

00:14:51A little bit here

00:14:52Well now Lee

00:15:01Lee jumps up to the top

00:15:03Rope

00:15:04To meet Kalani

00:15:05Jordan

00:15:05Down goes Jordan

00:15:07But can Lee

00:15:11Capitalize

00:15:12Haring can run

00:15:14Up from the top

00:15:15But it took a lot

00:15:17Out of Lee

00:15:18As well

00:15:18Take another look

00:15:23At this

00:15:23From the top

00:15:25Lee

00:15:25Snaps off

00:15:26This beautiful

00:15:27Haring can run

00:15:28But enough

00:15:29Has been taken

00:15:30Out of both

00:15:31Competitors

00:15:31Lee could not

00:15:32Capitalize

00:15:33Count of six

00:15:39Now Andy Hartwell

00:15:41Both Jordan

00:15:42And Lee

00:15:42Back up to their feet

00:15:43The match continues

00:15:44Forehead to forehead

00:15:45Nose to nose

00:15:47Now going blow

00:15:48For blow

00:15:49With the knockouts

00:15:50World title

00:15:51Hanging in the balance

00:15:52Strong striking game

00:16:03Laying Lee

00:16:05Coming into play

00:16:06Here

00:16:07Kalani Jordan

00:16:13Firing off

00:16:14Here

00:16:14We talked about

00:16:15The striking capability

00:16:16Of Laying Lee

00:16:17Kalani Jordan

00:16:18Not backing down

00:16:19But Lee asking

00:16:22For more

00:16:23And this is

00:16:24Laying Lee's

00:16:24Wheelhouse

00:16:25Now turning

00:16:27The advantage

00:16:28Boom

00:16:29Right back

00:16:30Into her corner

00:16:31I do not like

00:16:32This situation

00:16:33For Kalani Jordan

00:16:34Laying Lee

00:16:35Arguably

00:16:36The best striker

00:16:37At TNA today

00:16:38That was a perfectly

00:16:40Placed thrust kick

00:16:41As well

00:16:42Oh

00:16:43Snapping the neck

00:16:45Follows it up

00:16:47With a low drop kick

00:16:48Jades and

00:16:49Maddie Neidhart

00:16:50Right there

00:16:50Pressing the shoulders

00:16:51Down

00:16:52And a kick out

00:16:53Take a little bit

00:16:56More

00:16:57From Laying Lee

00:16:58There to walk out

00:16:59As the knockouts

00:17:01World champion

00:17:02Jordan continues to survive

00:17:11It's been extremely impressive

00:17:13But Laying Lee

00:17:14Is not deterred

00:17:16Look at this

00:17:18Whoa

00:17:18Jordan

00:17:19It will escape

00:17:20Close range

00:17:21With a thrust kick

00:17:22There

00:17:22Great counter

00:17:23There

00:17:24From Kalani

00:17:25Jordan

00:17:25Now lining up

00:17:27Lee

00:17:27Jordan rushes in

00:17:30Lee out of the corner

00:17:31Pressing the shoulders

00:17:32Down

00:17:33Didn't have it long enough

00:17:34Turning it around

00:17:36Look at this

00:17:36Blue thunder bomb

00:17:38Lee

00:17:39Into the cover

00:17:40Tucks the arm

00:17:41Bowen Jordan

00:17:42Is still in it

00:17:43Kalani Jordan

00:17:49Just hanging on

00:17:50Even Lee

00:17:55Thought that was three

00:17:56You can feel

00:17:57The frustration

00:17:58Coming from Laying Lee

00:17:59Kalani Jordan

00:18:01Has taken a great

00:18:02Deal of punishment

00:18:03This is awesome

00:18:06Here in Edmonton

00:18:08Tension is high

00:18:11Lee

00:18:11Putting her eyes

00:18:13Right on the prize

00:18:14It's all about the

00:18:24Knockouts world championship

00:18:25Keeping that title

00:18:27Home here

00:18:28In TNA

00:18:28Kalani Jordan

00:18:31Putting up a hell

00:18:33Of a fight

00:18:34Oh no

00:18:35Kalani Jordan

00:18:36Oh my god

00:18:37Jordan and Lee

00:18:38Go down

00:18:39Right next to her

00:18:40Announce desk

00:18:41Well now

00:18:45Indy Hartwell

00:18:45Trying to check on

00:18:47Lee

00:18:47Jordan though

00:18:49Jordan is

00:18:49Incessant

00:18:50Insisted on getting

00:18:52Lee back in the ring

00:18:54I think Jordan's

00:18:56Taking this

00:18:56To another level

00:18:57Perhaps a shot

00:19:00Of adrenaline

00:19:00Here late

00:19:01In the match

00:19:02Now Lee

00:19:06Sent off

00:19:06He sent off

00:19:06Of the ropes

00:19:06And Kalani Jordan

00:19:08With a back elbow

00:19:09With authority

00:19:11As well

00:19:12And Jordan

00:19:13Is fired up

00:19:14Here

00:19:14Now Kalani Jordan

00:19:21Trying to find a way

00:19:23To end this thing

00:19:24Wait, wait, wait

00:19:27Oh, hold on

00:19:27One second

00:19:28Laying Lee

00:19:29What a counter

00:19:30By Lee

00:19:31Right into the cross

00:19:33Face

00:19:33And Jordan

00:19:36Is in the dead

00:19:37Center of the ring

00:19:38Could this be it

00:19:41Is this the moment

00:19:42Can Laying Lee

00:19:46Keep the knockouts

00:19:47World Championship

00:19:48In TNA Wrestling

00:19:50See Kent

00:19:51Losing a little bit

00:19:52Of the cross

00:19:53Face

00:19:53Kalani Jordan

00:19:55Taking advantage

00:19:56Separating the hands

00:19:58Now Jordan

00:20:00Pressing his shoulders

00:20:01Down on Lee

00:20:02And a kick out

00:20:03Lee had that

00:20:06STF locked in

00:20:07For a little while

00:20:08But the wear and tear

00:20:09Of this matchup

00:20:10Catching up to

00:20:11Both these competitors

00:20:12Frankly

00:20:13But they still

00:20:14Continue to push forward

00:20:15After they already

00:20:16Competed earlier

00:20:18At night

00:20:18In that battle

00:20:19Royal

00:20:19To get here

00:20:21A grueling night

00:20:23For both

00:20:24Competitors

00:20:25And Lee

00:20:27Got planted

00:20:28Face first

00:20:29Into the canvas

00:20:30Goes Laying Lee

00:20:32And now Kalani

00:20:37Jordan

00:20:38Up to the top

00:20:39Rope

00:20:39Ball splash

00:20:41Cover

00:20:42Oh, what a kick

00:20:44Out by Lee

00:20:45That was very

00:20:46Very close

00:20:47Very close

00:20:48The Laying Lee

00:20:53Proving

00:20:54Very resilient

00:20:55Watch this

00:20:58One more time

00:20:59Kalani Jordan

00:21:00Going all the way up

00:21:02And nearly brought

00:21:03The Knockouts

00:21:04World Championship

00:21:05To NXT

00:21:06Once again

00:21:07Oh, wait a minute

00:21:10It was going for

00:21:11One of a kind

00:21:12On Lee

00:21:12But hit Indy

00:21:14Hardwell

00:21:14The referee

00:21:15Is down

00:21:16It's unfortunate

00:21:18Positioning

00:21:19From Indy

00:21:20Hardwell

00:21:21There

00:21:21And wait

00:21:23Look

00:21:23But Laying Lee

00:21:25Continuing the fight

00:21:27Thunderstruck

00:21:28Kalani Jordan

00:21:30Finds out

00:21:30Any other night

00:21:33That would be it

00:21:35Eight

00:21:36Five

00:21:37Ten

00:21:37One

00:21:38One

00:21:39One

00:21:39Laying Lee

00:21:40Should be the

00:21:41Knockouts

00:21:41World Champion

00:21:42Right now

00:21:43Indy Hardwell

00:21:44Is coming to

00:21:45Is this going to be it

00:21:46Oh

00:21:47And Jordan

00:21:47Finally kicks out

00:21:49Seconds too late

00:21:53Was that the moment

00:21:56Lee's got to gather

00:22:00Her cell phone

00:22:00You can understand

00:22:02The frustration

00:22:02But she's got to

00:22:03Collect herself

00:22:04She's got to refocus

00:22:06She can't slow down

00:22:07Now

00:22:08That's the thing

00:22:08Now up under the shoulders

00:22:13Trying to get that

00:22:14Spinning face buster

00:22:16But the back gave out

00:22:17Plenty of damage

00:22:18Don't throw out

00:22:18This matchup

00:22:19No Jordan

00:22:20Jordan nearly had it

00:22:21Lee no for a cover

00:22:23And a kick out

00:22:23Back and forth

00:22:24Roll up for roll up

00:22:25Lee kept Jordan close

00:22:28Going for the back slide

00:22:30Oh

00:22:32The stutter

00:22:35And now

00:22:38Jordan said

00:22:40No

00:22:40Lee

00:22:41Look at this

00:22:43One of a kind

00:22:44Are you kidding

00:22:45Is this it

00:22:46The knockouts world championship

00:22:49Is back

00:22:50In NXT hands

00:22:52Here is your winner

00:22:56And new TNA knockouts world champion

00:23:03The night the knockouts world championship

00:23:15Was turned upside down

00:23:18Victory road

00:23:19And now TNA president

00:23:25Carlos Silva

00:23:26Has to turn her eyes to an NXT wrestler

00:23:38And what this means now is that Indy Hartwell has to turn her eyes

00:23:42And what this means now is that Indy Hartwell has to turn her eyes to October 12th in Lowell, Massachusetts

00:23:59With every fiber of her feet

00:24:04To bring that championship home

00:24:06I do have to say this

00:24:08An incredible performance tonight by both these women

00:24:11Laying Lee

00:24:13Had it not been for that incidental contact where Indy Hartwell went down

00:24:17Lee should be knockouts world champion

00:24:20But take absolutely nothing away from Kalani Jordan

00:24:25She's been a champion in NXT

00:24:28And now after a hard fought matchup

00:24:31Kalani Jordan is your new TNA knockouts world champion

00:24:37And a reminder that that right there

00:24:46Those two

00:24:46Are your bound for glory

00:24:49Knockouts world title matchup

00:24:51Credit to Indy Hartwell for calling this down the middle

00:24:54And you can see on the ramp

00:24:56There is the former champion

00:24:59Ash by Elegance

00:25:00Who announced earlier on tonight

00:25:02She had to relinquish the title

00:25:04I must step away from in-ring competition

00:25:07What a moment

00:25:08She wanted whoever won to elevate that title

00:25:13That opportunity now belongs to Kalani Jordan

00:25:16Well as we learned earlier on tonight

00:25:19Due to the changes surrounding the knockouts world championship

00:25:22And the fact that the inspiration and the Elegance brand competed in the battle royal are on tonight

00:25:28Plenty of things changed

00:25:30Indy Hartwell and Kalani Jordan

00:25:32A nice sign of sportsmanship before

00:25:34Their magic bound for glory

00:25:36But as I mentioned

00:25:37The Elegance brand and the inspiration

00:25:38Were supposed to compete tonight

00:25:39For the knockouts world tag team titles

00:25:42Due to the battle royal earlier on this evening

00:25:44This match will take place

00:25:46This coming Thursday

00:25:47On TNA Impact

00:25:49Here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

00:25:51But we are not done this evening

00:25:52At Victory Road

00:25:53We have a huge main event

00:25:56With the X Division title on the line

00:25:59A gigantic opportunity

00:26:00For one of the rascals' own in Myron Reed

00:26:03This is the biggest opportunity of Myron Reed's career

00:26:08This is a night that could cement his legacy

00:26:11And his future in TNA Wrestling

00:26:14The young goat Myron Reed up against the youngest X Division champion of all time

00:26:21Leon Slater looks to defend the championship tonight

00:26:24In our main event

00:26:25It'll be the first time the X Division championship has main evented a TNA live special

00:26:32Since No Surrender 2024

00:26:34Over a year and a half ago

00:26:36What a moment for Slater and Reed tonight at Victory Road

00:26:39But coming up next

00:26:41It is another championship on the line

00:26:43As Steve Macklin defends

00:26:45The TNA International Championship

00:26:48Against Frankie Kazarian

00:26:50Can the king finally rise

00:26:53And capture his crown?

00:27:00For 161 days

00:27:03Steve Macklin has set the standard

00:27:05As the inaugural TNA International Champion

00:27:09Steve Macklin the one who holds the line for TNA

00:27:14As a Marine

00:27:16Holding the line isn't just a phrase

00:27:18It means standing shoulder to shoulder with the man next to you

00:27:22No matter how heavy the fire

00:27:24No matter what is coming at you

00:27:26Nothing gets through

00:27:28I have my eyes set

00:27:30On the international title

00:27:32Currently held

00:27:34By Steve Macklin

00:27:36I have defended this title

00:27:38In a dog collar match

00:27:39Against Eric Young

00:27:40Jake something

00:27:43Nance Warner

00:27:44Matt Cardona

00:27:46Because I'm the one who holds the line

00:27:49For TNA Wrestling

00:27:50A title like that

00:27:55Should be held

00:27:57By a man

00:27:58Of honor

00:27:59Like me

00:28:01Not some dirty

00:28:03Jarhead

00:28:04Who's living off of his frivolous service

00:28:09At a bunch of old

00:28:10Lame war stories

00:28:11Their opinion doesn't mean a damn thing

00:28:14What Steve Macklin needs to understand

00:28:18Is that

00:28:19History doesn't remember

00:28:21Soldiers

00:28:23It remembers kings

00:28:25Let me make this perfectly clear

00:28:27For you Frankie

00:28:27I am the present

00:28:29And I am the future

00:28:30Of TNA Wrestling

00:28:31You can walk around

00:28:32All you want

00:28:33As the self-proclaimed

00:28:35King of TNA

00:28:36Deep down

00:28:37You know the truth

00:28:38Your time is running out

00:28:39All monarchs will fall

00:28:42As we get set

00:28:47For this TNA

00:28:48International Championship

00:28:49Matchup

00:28:50Let's take a look

00:28:50At the headlines

00:28:51Frankie Kazarian

00:28:52Kazarian has belittled

00:28:53Steve Macklin's military service

00:28:55A number of times

00:28:56Now Macklin pinned Kazarian

00:28:57Just last night

00:28:58On Impact

00:28:59In a tag team matchup

00:29:00That featured Jake Something

00:29:01And Mr. Anderson

00:29:03Kazarian is seeking

00:29:05His first TNA title

00:29:06In three years

00:29:08Can he do it

00:29:09At the expense

00:29:10Of Steve Macklin

00:29:11The contest is scheduled

00:29:23For one call

00:29:24And is for

00:29:26The TNA

00:29:27International

00:29:29Championship

00:29:31Introducing first

00:29:33The challengers

00:29:35From Yucca Valley, California

00:29:37Weighing in at 220 pounds

00:29:41Frankie Kazarian

00:29:44And the king comes

00:29:48To take his crown

00:29:50Frankie Kazarian

00:29:52You said it

00:29:53Seeking his first championship

00:29:55In nearly three years

00:29:57Kaz

00:29:59Who had an unsuccessful bid

00:30:01For the TNA World Championship

00:30:03Has turned his eyes

00:30:04To Steve Macklin

00:30:05And the international title

00:30:07Frankie Kazarian

00:30:09An international athlete

00:30:10In his own right

00:30:11I think it's a good fit

00:30:12Does the king

00:30:14Have what it takes

00:30:15To put down

00:30:17Bulletproof

00:30:18Steve Macklin

00:30:19And his opponent

00:30:39From Rutherford, New Jersey

00:30:41Weighing in at 227 pounds

00:30:44He is the TNA

00:30:47International

00:30:49Champion

00:30:51Bulletproof

00:30:53Steve Macklin

00:30:57162 days

00:31:01The inaugural

00:31:02TNA International Champion

00:31:05The longest inaugural title reign

00:31:07In this company's

00:31:0823 year history

00:31:10Kazarian's made it personal

00:31:12Like Macklin's waiting for a fight

00:31:14And here's one thing

00:31:18Macklin is never backing down from

00:31:20It is a fight

00:31:21Especially when Frankie Kazarian

00:31:24Has belittled his military service

00:31:26Steve Macklin

00:31:27Takes that to heart

00:31:28It's one of the reasons

00:31:29Why this Sunday

00:31:30He'll be in New York City

00:31:31Taking part in

00:31:33Tunnels to Towers

00:31:345K run and walk

00:31:36In New York City

00:31:37Donations from which

00:31:38Will be used to pay mortgages

00:31:40For the families

00:31:41The first responders

00:31:42Who've lost their lives

00:31:43In duty

00:31:43Building handicapped

00:31:45Accessible smart houses

00:31:46For catastrophically injured

00:31:48Combat veterans

00:31:49And constructing

00:31:50Veterans villages

00:31:51To help eradicate

00:31:52Veteran homelessness

00:31:54Right now

00:32:03Right here

00:32:04And Edmonton Macklin

00:32:05Has got to put all his energy

00:32:08All his efforts

00:32:09On boarding

00:32:11Frankie Kazarian

00:32:12And that is no easy feat

00:32:14You have to imagine

00:32:16What Kaz is willing to do

00:32:18To walk out of here

00:32:19With gold

00:32:20It was back at Unbreakable

00:32:23In April

00:32:24That we crowned

00:32:25The inaugural

00:32:26TNA International

00:32:27Champion

00:32:28Steve Macklin

00:32:29Who qualified

00:32:30For that series

00:32:31Of triple threat

00:32:32Masters

00:32:32Which culminated

00:32:33That night

00:32:34In Las Vegas

00:32:35Nevada

00:32:35We got a glimpse

00:32:36At it earlier on

00:32:37This evening

00:32:38Within our broadcast

00:32:39Here at Victory Road

00:32:40Can you put into words

00:32:42As a wrestler

00:32:43How difficult

00:32:44It is

00:32:44For someone

00:32:45To take a championship

00:32:46From nothing

00:32:47Into something

00:32:48I mean it's

00:32:50It's

00:32:50Not exactly

00:32:52Tangible

00:32:53It's one of the

00:32:54You can win a title

00:32:55And it not

00:32:56Necessarily like you said

00:32:57Go on to mean something

00:32:59You have to do something

00:33:00With it

00:33:00And Macklin

00:33:01Jumped into the trenches

00:33:03Quite literally

00:33:04He talked about it

00:33:05That incredible

00:33:07Vicious

00:33:08Dog collar match

00:33:09With Eric Young

00:33:10Macklin immediately

00:33:11Doing whatever it takes

00:33:12Whoa

00:33:13Going for the chicken wing

00:33:14Frankie Kazarian

00:33:15Certainly willing

00:33:16To do whatever it takes

00:33:17Very very close

00:33:18But Macklin

00:33:19Like I said

00:33:19Gove into those trenches

00:33:22To put the international title

00:33:23On the map

00:33:24And here's the thing

00:33:32In a dog collar match

00:33:35In a

00:33:35No rules

00:33:36Anything goes

00:33:37Knock down

00:33:39Drag out

00:33:39Fight

00:33:39There are few people

00:33:40I would ever bet against

00:33:41Less than Steve Macklin

00:33:43I would never bet against him

00:33:45In a fight like that

00:33:46But in a straight up match

00:33:48Frankie Kazarian

00:33:50Has a lot of tricks

00:33:51Up his sleeve

00:33:52Kazarian does have

00:33:54A lot of tricks

00:33:54But we've seen

00:33:55Throughout this

00:33:56Championship reign

00:33:57For Steve Macklin

00:33:58That it's not just about

00:33:59Being in those

00:34:00Extreme hardcore environments

00:34:02He was able to put away

00:34:03Eric Young

00:34:03In a standard rules match

00:34:05He was able to do

00:34:05Do the same thing

00:34:06With Jake something

00:34:07Mance Warner

00:34:07Multiple times

00:34:08Multiple styles

00:34:09Of single matches

00:34:10This is something

00:34:11That Macklin

00:34:11Has evolved into

00:34:13I don't think

00:34:13He's ever been better

00:34:14From a technical standpoint

00:34:16I wouldn't disagree

00:34:17With that either

00:34:17Macklin has done

00:34:19Nothing but improve

00:34:19Since I've seen him

00:34:21Quite frankly

00:34:21In the professional

00:34:22Wrestling industry

00:34:23It's been an upward

00:34:24Trajectory

00:34:25But especially here

00:34:26In TNA

00:34:27He's found his potential

00:34:28And then some

00:34:28However

00:34:30I will at least say

00:34:31In this international

00:34:33Tidal run

00:34:34In this latest

00:34:34Steve Macklin

00:34:35We've seen

00:34:36He has not competed

00:34:37Against somebody

00:34:38In my opinion

00:34:39The wrestling IQ

00:34:40Level

00:34:41Whoa whoa whoa

00:34:41It's going for KIA

00:34:43And now Kazarian

00:34:44Scrambling to the ropes

00:34:46That was very smart

00:34:49By Kazarian

00:34:50I think he is

00:34:51One of the craftiest

00:34:52Wiliest

00:34:54Smartest veterans

00:34:56And in-ring technicians

00:34:58That Macklin's face

00:34:59Macklin

00:35:01Kazarian

00:35:01Getting in each other's heads

00:35:03Saying

00:35:03I was this close

00:35:04To getting you

00:35:05And here's the thing

00:35:11Macklin

00:35:12Is technically

00:35:13Probably the best

00:35:14He's ever been

00:35:15But if Frankie Kazarian

00:35:16Can attack his psyche

00:35:18Can get into his head

00:35:20Get into his mind

00:35:21And maybe cause him

00:35:22To see red

00:35:23And just go

00:35:24Without thinking

00:35:25About technique

00:35:26Without thinking

00:35:27About wrestling

00:35:28And just go

00:35:29Forward

00:35:30Fighting

00:35:30Like a truck

00:35:31That's where Frankie Kazarian

00:35:34Can take advantage

00:35:35Clubbing

00:35:40Blows to the back

00:35:41There by Steve

00:35:42Macklin

00:35:42And the ball

00:35:45The backbreaker

00:35:48Trying to retain

00:35:48The championship

00:35:49And a kick out

00:35:50It's a critical defense

00:35:52For Steve Macklin

00:35:53On the path

00:35:54To bow for glory

00:35:55You know Macklin

00:35:58Just like every wrestler

00:36:00In this company

00:36:00Wants to walk

00:36:01Into the biggest event

00:36:02Of the year

00:36:03Oh

00:36:04Momentum

00:36:05If you're a champion

00:36:06You want to hold

00:36:07That title high

00:36:08On the move

00:36:09Oh it's gone

00:36:10For the scud

00:36:11And Kazarian

00:36:12Sidestepped it

00:36:13And the missile

00:36:16Didn't hit its target

00:36:18Crash and burn

00:36:20For Macklin

00:36:21On the champion's advantage

00:36:24The title can only

00:36:25Change hands

00:36:26Via pinfall

00:36:27And submission

00:36:27In the ring

00:36:28Kazarian knows that

00:36:29Very well

00:36:30Lying and wait

00:36:31There's Kazarian

00:36:32To bulldoze

00:36:33Macklin

00:36:34Let's take another

00:36:37Look at this

00:36:37Macklin

00:36:37Had his sights

00:36:38Locked in on Kaz

00:36:40But last minute

00:36:41Redirecting the scud

00:36:43To the outside

00:36:44And Tom I can't

00:36:45It looks like

00:36:46Macklin may have

00:36:47Busted his lip open

00:36:48Or something

00:36:49Moments ago

00:36:50I don't know

00:36:51If it was that

00:36:52Spill to the ground

00:36:53Or if it was just

00:36:54Before that

00:36:55But either way

00:36:56Like drop across

00:36:58The chest

00:36:58That had been moments

00:36:59Prior when the two

00:37:00Were exchanging

00:37:01Right hands

00:37:02In the center of the ring

00:37:03We expected this

00:37:04To be physical

00:37:04These two go

00:37:05All the way back

00:37:06One on one

00:37:07Since 2022

00:37:08Macklin actually

00:37:09Ran Kazarian

00:37:10Out of the company

00:37:11At that point in time

00:37:12When Kazarian

00:37:13Didn't officially

00:37:14Work for this company

00:37:15And now

00:37:16Oh

00:37:17Kaz trying to run

00:37:20Macklin

00:37:21Off of the

00:37:22International title

00:37:22Trying to win the title

00:37:24Saw how that forearm

00:37:25Crossed the face there

00:37:27Kazarian

00:37:27Very shrewd

00:37:28Normally in moments

00:37:30Like this

00:37:31In a match

00:37:31Is when I say

00:37:32It does something

00:37:34Only when you see

00:37:35Your own blood

00:37:35Spill

00:37:36But if there's one guy

00:37:38I wouldn't doubt

00:37:38When that happens

00:37:39It's Steve Macklin

00:37:40He talked about

00:37:41Macklin

00:37:42Seeing red

00:37:43That temper

00:37:43It has

00:37:44Cost him

00:37:45In the past

00:37:46It's also

00:37:47Guided him

00:37:47To some of his

00:37:48Biggest victories

00:37:49Ironically I was talking

00:37:50About rebellion

00:37:512023

00:37:51Earlier on tonight

00:37:52It's the night

00:37:53That Steve Macklin

00:37:54Won

00:37:55The TNA World Championship

00:37:57An incredible matchup

00:37:58Against Kushida

00:37:59And I think

00:38:00The emotions

00:38:01That Macklin

00:38:02Was feeling

00:38:02That night

00:38:03Wait

00:38:03Kushida

00:38:03Spocked

00:38:04And Macklin

00:38:04Led him to that

00:38:05Title win

00:38:05So it's a double

00:38:06Edged sword

00:38:07Uh oh

00:38:09Wait a minute

00:38:09Oh

00:38:10Was trying to catch

00:38:11Him for

00:38:11A uranage

00:38:13There

00:38:13And Macklin

00:38:14Still able to

00:38:15Drop Kazarian

00:38:16Didn't quite get

00:38:21All of it

00:38:21He wanted

00:38:21But enough

00:38:22To put

00:38:23Kaz down

00:38:24Straight right

00:38:31Hands

00:38:31Doubled over there

00:38:32By Kazarian

00:38:33Quick knee strike

00:38:34And the clothesline

00:38:35Great combination

00:38:36There by Kazarian

00:38:37Kazarian's got

00:38:42Macklin

00:38:42On the retreat

00:38:45Here

00:38:46So to speak

00:38:47Definitely got him

00:38:49On the defense

00:38:50That's for damn sure

00:38:51In my opinion

00:38:57Frankie Kazarian

00:38:58Has

00:38:59You're going to bite me

00:39:01For this

00:39:01I'm not

00:39:02I won't say

00:39:03Learn to the errors

00:39:04Of his ways

00:39:05He certainly hasn't

00:39:06In his first

00:39:07But in his pursuit

00:39:08Of the TNA

00:39:09World Championship

00:39:10But I do believe

00:39:11He's learned

00:39:12From his mistakes

00:39:13Let's put it that way

00:39:14I think

00:39:14He's maybe more focused

00:39:16And dangerous

00:39:17Than ever

00:39:17Rolls through

00:39:18With a neckbreaker

00:39:18Trying to win the title

00:39:19And a kick out

00:39:20I would agree

00:39:21On him being more

00:39:22Focused

00:39:22And more dangerous

00:39:23He's trying to

00:39:24Add himself

00:39:25To a historic list

00:39:27Frankie Kazarian

00:39:28Could become

00:39:29The sixth man

00:39:30In history

00:39:31To become

00:39:32A grand slam

00:39:33Champion

00:39:34In TNA wrestling

00:39:35The others

00:39:36The TNA

00:39:37Hall of Famer

00:39:37The Phenomenal

00:39:39AJ Styles

00:39:40Austin Aries

00:39:41Samoa Joe

00:39:42And Eric Young

00:39:42Who we saw

00:39:43Earlier on

00:39:43Tonight

00:39:44That's just about

00:39:51Everything

00:39:51There is to do

00:39:52In TNA wrestling

00:39:54He's going to add

00:39:55A new first

00:39:56For himself

00:39:56If he can get

00:39:57The win here tonight

00:39:58But Macklin

00:39:58Continuing

00:39:59To put up the fight

00:40:00I'll go for

00:40:06An Olympic slam

00:40:07There

00:40:07Kazarian able to

00:40:08Escape it

00:40:08Kazarian was

00:40:09Trying to hook

00:40:10Macklin there

00:40:10Trying to set up

00:40:11For the chicken wing

00:40:13Macklin

00:40:13Sensitive coming

00:40:14And Macklin

00:40:18On shoulders down

00:40:20Kazarian

00:40:21Tight cover

00:40:21There and a kick out

00:40:22Yes

00:40:27Continuing

00:40:28To punish

00:40:29Macklin

00:40:30Oh

00:40:32Face first

00:40:33Into the knee

00:40:33And a huge

00:40:34Clothesline

00:40:35By the champion

00:40:36And that may be

00:40:37The opening

00:40:37That Steve Macklin

00:40:39Needed

00:40:39Both men out

00:40:46Both men

00:40:47Trying to find

00:40:49Their footing

00:40:51Once again

00:40:51What a night

00:40:56What a night

00:40:56This has been here

00:40:57In Edmonton

00:40:58Alberta

00:40:58Canada

00:40:58For Victory Road

00:41:00Our final

00:41:01Live broadcast

00:41:02On the path

00:41:03To bow for glory

00:41:04And now Macklin

00:41:08And now Macklin with the

00:41:08Fez press

00:41:09All over

00:41:10Frankie Kazarian

00:41:11In this TNA

00:41:12International

00:41:13Championship bout

00:41:14And now Macklin

00:41:22Taking up steam

00:41:22And now Macklin

00:41:22Trying to stick it

00:41:23To Frankie Kazarian

00:41:24Who's been a thorn in his side

00:41:26For weeks now

00:41:27Let's not forget that

00:41:34Stare down he had

00:41:35With El Macias

00:41:36Backstage

00:41:38That was quite the

00:41:39Confrontation

00:41:39Quite the surprise

00:41:41On the countdown

00:41:42To Victory Road

00:41:43Now the Olympic slam

00:41:45Connects

00:41:45There's the cover

00:41:46Can Macklin retain

00:41:48Kazarian

00:41:49Is still in this

00:41:50See in the back

00:41:54Of your screen

00:41:55There that's

00:41:55What it is all about

00:41:56I know exactly

00:41:59How much pride

00:42:00Steve Macklin

00:42:01Takes

00:42:01In being that

00:42:02Inaugural champion

00:42:04He ain't ready

00:42:04To be done yet

00:42:05Oh

00:42:07Chicken wing

00:42:08Again applied

00:42:08Attempted by

00:42:10Frankie Kazarian

00:42:11Here

00:42:12Son of a bitch

00:42:13Oh

00:42:14The Psycho knee

00:42:15Macklin able to

00:42:18Open up an opportunity

00:42:19Again

00:42:20The diving headbutt

00:42:22By Macklin

00:42:23The jar headbutt

00:42:25Pressing the shoulder

00:42:26Down

00:42:26But Kazarian

00:42:27Kicked down

00:42:28Especially poetic

00:42:30Given the words

00:42:31Kazarian has used

00:42:32To describe Macklin

00:42:34In recent weeks

00:42:35But even that

00:42:42Wasn't enough

00:42:43What is Macklin

00:42:44Going to have to do

00:42:44To put the veteran

00:42:47Frankie Kazarian

00:42:49Away

00:42:50Way

00:42:50No

00:42:58No

00:43:02No

00:43:03Macklin fired up here.

00:43:13Oh, wait a minute.

00:43:14Oh, the cutter out of the corner.

00:43:16What a counter.

00:43:17Block caught in the crosshairs and Macklin is still alive.

00:43:21That was unbelievable for Frankie Kazarian, the wherewithal and the ability to counter caught in the crosshairs.

00:43:33We talked about how crafty Frankie Kazarian is.

00:43:37He's going for the chicken wing there.

00:43:39Now Macklin trying to turn this over.

00:43:41Think about a Boston Crab perhaps.

00:43:44Frankie Kazarian able to throw Macklin here.

00:43:47Macklin winning KIA again.

00:43:50Trying to set up for the KIA.

00:43:52Kazarian continues to have answers to the questions.

00:43:58This is that craftiness.

00:44:00This is that in-ring IQ I was telling you about.

00:44:03It's deep in the match where it really, really counts.

00:44:09When you don't, when you're not normally thinking clearly, you're going on instinct.

00:44:13You're going on adrenaline.

00:44:15Your plans have gone out the window.

00:44:24Macklin able to stop Frankie Kazarian up top here.

00:44:27Now the battle taking itself to the top rope.

00:44:30Whoa.

00:44:40Macklin pummeling Frankie Kazarian.

00:44:43Now it could be Macklin trying to think superplex here.

00:44:52And there it is.

00:44:53Oh!

00:44:54Able to hit it.

00:44:55Not letting go though.

00:45:00Oh my God.

00:45:01And he right to the back of the neck.

00:45:03But Kazarian rolls away and rolls out of the ring.

00:45:07Whether by instinct or by just veteran maneuvering.

00:45:17Macklin with the superplex.

00:45:20Rolled right over.

00:45:22Wasn't done there.

00:45:23Dropping Kaz right on the back of his neck.

00:45:26But Kaz.

00:45:27You saw him even look to the ropes there.

00:45:30Getting out of dodge.

00:45:33And the flingshot to the team.

00:45:37Here's the cover.

00:45:39Macklin is still in it.

00:45:43Now it's Kaz getting frustrated.

00:45:45The definition of a hard fought match.

00:45:49As even as it gets.

00:45:50And now it's Kaz reversing roles here.

00:46:01Got Macklin in the prone position up top.

00:46:05Now wait.

00:46:06Wait a second.

00:46:07Hold on.

00:46:08Is Kazarian thinking about the flux capacitor?

00:46:11We haven't seen this in forever.

00:46:13Oh.

00:46:13Down goes Kazarian hard to the mat.

00:46:18Macklin left up top.

00:46:20Kazarian was saying about taking a big risk there against Macklin.

00:46:24Shows you the gravity and the desperation of this moment.

00:46:28Off the top.

00:46:29Once again.

00:46:30Going for the jaw.

00:46:31Head block.

00:46:31Oh.

00:46:32And the chicken wing.

00:46:33Great way to capitalize from Frankie Kazarian there.

00:46:36Come on.

00:46:37Come on.

00:46:37Talk to me.

00:46:38I got it.

00:46:39Come on.

00:46:40Can he get it sunk in?

00:46:42No, no, no.

00:46:42Macklin is fighting him.

00:46:44Yeah.

00:46:45Let's go.

00:46:46Macklin isn't fading.

00:46:48Frankie Kazarian holding on to the chicken wing.

00:46:51That missed headbutt.

00:46:53That cost Macklin big time.

00:46:58Kazarian hard to the outside.

00:47:00Macklin on the move.

00:47:02Now he connects with the scud.

00:47:04Taking out Kaz on the ramp.

00:47:09Kazarian was able to sidestep that earlier on in the matchup, but not this time.

00:47:14Now Macklin not slowing down.

00:47:18Macklin stomping the hell out of Frankie Kazarian.

00:47:22Macklin with his eyes on Kaz.

00:47:33What's Macklin?

00:47:40Macklin was saying about caught in the crosshairs, but there's El Macias from Triple A,

00:47:45who he saw in the countdown to Victory Road.

00:47:47Macias got in the face of Macklin.

00:47:50Macias just popped right back up.

00:47:53Eyes set set on Macklin.

00:47:57Wait a minute.

00:47:59Kazarian kicked the rope, creating a low blow.

00:48:03Wait, look at this.

00:48:03Slank shot cutter.

00:48:05The referee didn't see Kazarian strike.

00:48:07Are you kidding me?

00:48:08Frankie Kazarian is the new TNA International Champion.

00:48:13Here is your winner, and the new TNA International Champion, Frankie Kazarian.

00:48:32And the King has found his crown for the first time in three years.

00:48:45Frankie Kazarian is a champion in TNA Wrestling.

00:48:54A crown for the King at Victory Road.

00:48:59Take a look back here at the conclusion of this matchup.

00:49:06We thought it was the Junior and Opsie and El Macias on the countdown to Victory Road,

00:49:11confronting Macklin.

00:49:12You see this?

00:49:13The low blow created by Kazarian using the middle rope.

00:49:16The referee never saw it, albeit non-irregal still.

00:49:21The explanation we were talking about earlier on tonight,

00:49:25how Frankie Kazarian is willing to do whatever it takes to win.

00:49:30He saw the opportunity, and he struck.

00:49:37If you thought Frankie Kazarian was confident before,

00:49:41it's about to reach an all-new level.

00:51:11the beautiful people.

00:51:15where multiple women and only women will be inducted.

00:51:20The 2025 TNA Hall of Fame induction ceremony takes place

00:51:24Sunday, October 12th, live in Lowell, Massachusetts

00:51:28as a part of Battle for Glory.

00:51:31But right here in Edmonton, it is time for our main event

00:51:35as the X Division title is on the line.

00:51:39Leon Slater puts it all on the line

00:51:42up against the Rascals' Myron Reed.

00:51:45As we get set for our main event here at Victory Road,

00:51:49let's take a look at the X-Factors

00:51:52between Slater and Reed.

00:51:54Reed won a four-way matchup weeks ago

00:51:56on Impact to earn this title shot.

00:51:58Leon Slater has not lost a singles match

00:52:01in TNA Wrestling in five months.

00:52:04We can confirm that the winner of this matchup

00:52:07will represent the X Division Championship

00:52:11at Bound for Glory.

00:52:33Better get out my soul than out my way,

00:52:35out my way, here on this song,

00:52:39and I will bet, I will bet,

00:52:41we can't have it, move on,

00:52:42and I will bet, I will bet, I will bet,

00:52:45we can't have it, I will bet, we can't have it, I will bet.

00:52:45Myron Reed is escorted out here by his brothers

00:52:50to wish him well.

00:52:52The Rascals run strong, they run deep,

00:52:56but this one is all on the shoulders of a young GOAT.

00:53:00It was just a few months ago that Myron Reed stepped in for an injured Trey Miguel at Slammiversary in a four-team matchup for the TNA World Tag Team title.

00:53:12The opportunity of a lifetime.

00:53:14There have been many in TNA wrestling and in the pro wrestling world as a whole wondering when Myron Reed was going to get his singles opportunity.

00:53:24I mentioned it earlier on tonight. This is the first time in over a year and a half that the X Division Championship is main eventing a TNA Live Special.

00:53:36This is proof of the hard work and dedication Myron Reed has put in.

00:53:54Myron Reed is stepping in that ring with one of the fastest rising stars in the entire world of professional wrestling.

00:54:21The youngest in charge and he's called that for a reason.

00:54:26The confidence and the professionalism, the presence this young man carries himself with is unmatched in this business in my opinion.

00:54:38Leon Slater is the future of TNA wrestling.

00:54:42But you have to understand what this man fights for.

00:54:45He will turn 21 years old tomorrow.

00:54:50We've talked about it a number of times.

00:54:52He started training at the age of nine under his mother's supervision.

00:54:56His father left when Leon Slater was very young.

00:55:00We've heard from him recently on Impact on TNA's social and digital platform.

00:55:04Leon spoke to you and I earlier on today.

00:55:06And he said, because of what I experienced with my father, in my upbringing, I have made it my mission in professional wrestling to never be forgotten.

00:55:17I will be remembered.

00:55:20So far, so good if you ask me.

00:55:24Slater looks to add to that legacy, add to that resume tonight in the main event of Victory Road.

00:55:31The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the TNA Ex-Division Championship.

00:55:51Introducing first, the challenger, representing the Rascals, from Louisville, Kentucky, weighing in at 185 pounds, Myron Reed.

00:56:10And his opponent, from Bradford, England, weighing in at 198 pounds, he is the TNA Ex-Division Champion, Leon Slater.

00:56:4023 years ago, the Ex-Division Championship was introduced as the signature title of TNA Wrestling.

00:56:53It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits.

00:56:56And it's safe to say, there are no limits as to what Leon Slater and Myron Reed are capable of in their careers,

00:57:04and especially in our main event tonight at Victory Road.

00:57:07What an opportunity ahead of these two young stars on the path to bow for glory.

00:57:20TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!

00:57:27TNA! TNA!

00:57:31Iron Reed reminding Slater of what it's all about. Slater all too aware.

00:57:35I appreciate that attitude from Myron Reed.

00:57:39I mean, this is, I believe you said this is Leon Slater's first singles main event here in this company.

00:57:45Yes, on a TNA Live special.

00:57:47That's right. And from Myron Reed, it's his first main event with TNA Wrestling here.

00:57:52There's a lot of pressure, but I appreciate the bravado.

00:57:55I appreciate the confidence.

00:57:56You have to come into a matchup like this with that.

00:57:59If you waver, you will fall.

00:58:03A lot of people ask, what is TNA Wrestling all about in this year of resurgence for our company?

00:58:09This is what it's all about.

00:58:11This type of opportunity for two young stars who will light up the screen, light up the ring.

00:58:17No doubt about it. People have made their legacies, made their careers in the X Division for a reason.

00:58:24I don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say AJ Styles is who he is because of the X Division.

00:58:34Completely right. The very first X Division champion, as I mentioned, 23 years ago in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:58:41Great X Division champions.

00:58:43He's the likes of Chris Saban, Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian, who you saw earlier on tonight.

00:58:49Trevor Lee, amazing red, Jay Lethal. The list goes on and on.

00:58:54And, of course, I'd be remiss.

00:58:57The other two rascals of Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz.

00:59:01That has bothered Myron Reed. He wants to join that company.

00:59:05But speaking of being bothered, Phil Leon Slater ticked off that he got into that situation there against Myron Reed.

00:59:13When we talked about that attitude, Leon Slater comes into these matches with, yeah.

00:59:18He feels, it's not a desperation, but a must-win and a must-go-forward kind of attitude.

00:59:25He does not like being pushed back into a corner.

00:59:28Quite literally backed up into a corner now here by Reed, the referee.

00:59:32Separating these two. Champions advantage goes to Leon Slater in this matchup.

00:59:38Oh, and that is not going to sit well with the youngest in charge.

00:59:42Oh, and that is not going to have the two.

00:59:44Reed tried to big brother Leon Slater, and the champion's not going to take that.

00:59:49You talked about not wanting to be forgotten.

00:59:51I mean, it's been a phenomenal run so far, but it still feels like the beginning for Leon Slater if he wants it to be.

00:59:58Meanwhile, Myron Reed's got nothing to lose here.

01:00:00Everything to gain in this main event.

01:00:04And that is when wrestlers are at the most dangerous.

01:00:07Absolutely.

01:00:08Oh, off of the ropes!

01:00:09Nice connection there by Reed.

01:00:11And so you have to ask the question, will that desperation to never be forgotten, could it be the undoing of Leon Slater in a certain scenario?

01:00:25Could tonight be that scenario?

01:00:29Slater being the aggressor in the early going there.

01:00:31Oh, man, Reed had connected with that lung blower moments ago, but Slater got him with the single leg dropkick.

01:00:37Next, Slater on the move.

01:00:38Able to bring Reed down to the floor.

01:00:41And you can see it.

01:00:48You can feel it radiating off Leon Slater.

01:00:53That confidence, that aggression.

01:00:57If I can put into perspective the dedication of Leon Slater, if we take a look back here at what happened moments ago.

01:01:03Take a look.

01:01:04Slater meeting.

01:01:05Myron Reed at the ropes.

01:01:07Dive into the floor.

01:01:08Taking out the competition.

01:01:11We're here tonight, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

01:01:14Leon Slater makes his home in Bradford, England.

01:01:17He traveled almost exactly 24 hours to get here.

01:01:24An hour drive from Bradford to Manchester.

01:01:26Manchester flight to London.

01:01:27Delays there.

01:01:28Flew to Toronto.

01:01:29Delays there.

01:01:29Got here to Edmonton.

01:01:30Had to get here a full day early just to attempt to access the time zone.

01:01:34Can you imagine the dedication for an athlete to persevere through those situations and to continue on, to carry on, to get better and better throughout that process?

01:01:44Well, yes.

01:01:45I mean, I've been that athlete at times.

01:01:48Flying across the world, having to land and then run right to his show and wrestle.

01:01:52I've never had to meet an event, a pay-per-view defending a prestigious title.

01:01:57I will say that.

01:01:58So, it is another level here for Leon Slater as he rains down upon Myron Reed.

01:02:06It is no easy feat, though.

01:02:08I can tell you that for any athlete.

01:02:10And Slater is more than rising to the occasion.

01:02:14Leon Slater with a cross body.

01:02:16He projected himself there.

01:02:18Kick out at one by Reed.

01:02:20And look at the expression on Slater's face.

01:02:23Perturbed by that.

01:02:24And again, this attitude, this confidence of Myron Reed.

01:02:28I'm not going to say it's getting to Slater, but I think it's maybe just a hair more than he anticipated out of the young go.

01:02:35Up onto the shoulders.

01:02:36He's trying to set up for Utopia, perhaps.

01:02:38Shoulders down.

01:02:39Reed trying to win the title.

01:02:41What a coup this would be on the path to bout for glory.

01:02:44He's two weeks away from Sunday, live in Lowell, Massachusetts.

01:02:49Myron!

01:02:50Now, whoa.

01:02:51Oh, got him!

01:02:53Hold on, Reed.

01:02:54Reed trying to stack him up, trying to press the shoulders down.

01:02:57Slater able to escape.

01:02:58The speed at which Myron Reed was able to just make the way through the center of the ring and then hits.

01:03:05That's unreal timing.

01:03:09Watch this one more time.

01:03:11Leon Slater caught with this Rana.

01:03:15And Slater still found a way to power out.

01:03:19We're going to push off of the body of Reed in that kick moments later by the young goat flattening the champion.

01:03:26Now, the window of opportunity is wide open to Myron Reed here.

01:03:35What's he going to do to take advantage?

01:03:42Well, now, Reed able to sidestep him.

01:03:44Connects with the back of the neck.

01:03:46Did that earlier on in the matchup.

01:03:47That really ticked off Slater.

01:03:49Great wherewithal again from Reed.

01:03:51Oh, up and over.

01:03:53Slater trying to bait him there, it looked like.

01:03:56Saw it coming.

01:03:59Tit for tat.

01:04:00Miss for miss.

01:04:01Counter.

01:04:01Oh!

01:04:04Reed chasing Slater.

01:04:07Now, Reed loading him up.

01:04:13Oh, just launching Slater off the rebound.

01:04:17Scrambles into the cover.

01:04:18Trying to win the X Division title at a kickout.

01:04:22Heavy bomb there from Myron Reed.

01:04:25But the youngest in charge staying in the matchup.

01:04:29This is awesome!

01:04:32This is awesome!

01:04:35This is awesome!

01:04:37Yeah!

01:04:37Capacity crowd here inside the Edmonton Expo Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

01:04:44First time ever TNA Wrestling has ever made it all the way up here to Edmonton.

01:04:49What a reception we've had this evening live for Victory Road.

01:04:56Oh!

01:04:57Off the top.

01:04:58Trying to set up Slater.

01:05:00Usually goes for a face buster there.

01:05:02Slater had it scouted.

01:05:05Slater wanted the crossover.

01:05:07Again, Reed able to.

01:05:10Oh, he caught him!

01:05:11Oh, he caught him!

01:05:12Trying to hit it!

01:05:13Trying to hit it!

01:05:15Oh, Utopia!

01:05:17With a couple extra spins.

01:05:19Is it at this?

01:05:20Oh, and somehow Myron Reed kicked out.

01:05:23And that's where Leon Slater can shine above so many others.

01:05:27He's got the athleticism, but he has this strength that you'd never expect out of the youngest in charge.

01:05:33Watch this!

01:05:35The way Reed just leaps and caught on the shoulder of Slater.

01:05:41Unreal balance, power, and ability.

01:05:44Myron Reed had connected with offense earlier on in the matchup from that same type of situation.

01:05:49And again, Slater is adapting as this match goes on.

01:05:54It's not that he's manipulating Myron Reed, but he is baiting him at select points in time.

01:06:00He's learning from his mistakes as the match goes on.

01:06:03And that's what makes a champion.

01:06:05That's what holds on to titles.

01:06:07To use a football analogy, it's like a quarterback baiting a safety, trying to get him to move one direction so he can complete a pass in another direction.

01:06:16It's brilliant.

01:06:18Now Slater getting out of dodge.

01:06:21Not wasting any time.

01:06:24But Reed, what is it?

01:06:25Oh!

01:06:25Boom right to the face there by Slater!

01:06:28I don't know what Reed had in mind, but it backfires and now fell out of the ring.

01:06:34Must have the chagrin of the champion.

01:06:35Of course, the advantage to Slater.

01:06:41Yeah, but that's not Slater.

01:06:43That's not Slater's game.

01:06:44I completely agree with you.

01:06:49Oh, wait a second.

01:06:51He's got his eyes on that corner.

01:06:53Here we go!

01:06:54Big play, Slater!

01:06:57Right in front of the timekeeper's table!

01:06:59And immediately not wasting any time.

01:07:05Rolling him right in.

01:07:06This could be the closing moment.

01:07:09Holy shit!

01:07:10Slater going to the top rope.

01:07:12Is it time for the Swanton 4.50?

01:07:17Rolled through.

01:07:18Reed able to escape just for a moment.

01:07:20Blank Lariat by Slater.

01:07:23Reed inside out.

01:07:28This is the most aggressive version of Slater we've seen as champion.

01:07:34Oh my God.

01:07:35Both men to the outside.

01:07:37Slater still got him.

01:07:39Oh, Stunned Dog Millionaire.

01:07:41Good God!

01:07:49What the hell did we just witness?

01:07:54Holy hell, what a sequence!

01:07:56The roll through.

01:07:58The counter.

01:07:59The suplex.

01:08:00To the outside.

01:08:01To the floor.

01:08:02To Slater.

01:08:03To the setup.

01:08:04To the Stunned Dog.

01:08:06My God, this is what pro wrestling's all about for crying out loud.

01:08:11What an opportunity for these young stars in the main event of Victory Road.

01:08:17Just when you thought the game couldn't be changed, meet Myron Reed and Leon Slater.

01:08:21Myron Reed landing middle of the ring.

01:08:24Slater evading.

01:08:26Very smart.

01:08:26Getting himself outside of the ropes.

01:08:28Taking himself away from danger.

01:08:30If anything, just for a moment.

01:08:32Both guys continue into a...

01:08:34Oh!

01:08:34Flame on!

01:08:36The cutter from Reed to the outside.

01:08:42Holy shit!

01:08:43Holy shit!

01:08:44Holy shit!

01:08:45Holy shit!

01:08:46Holy shit!

01:08:47Holy shit!

01:08:48Holy shit!

01:08:48Reed once again, big risk, big reward.

01:08:53Boom!

01:08:53450!

01:08:54That's who he won the number one contendership.

01:08:58Can he take advantage though?

01:09:00Damage to the midsection just by hitting that 450.

01:09:03Now trying to get into position.

01:09:06Cover!

01:09:07Oh, and a kick out!

01:09:10That extra second.

01:09:11That extra solitary second it took Reed to get to the cover was all Leon Slater needed.

01:09:18Extra mission forever!

01:09:21Extra mission forever!

01:09:24Extra mission forever!

01:09:26Extra mission forever!

01:09:27Extra!

01:09:28Now Reed trying to figure out a way to take the extubation title from Leon Slater.

01:09:36Both these guys have been adapting to each other.

01:09:40That's been the game of Slater in this matchup.

01:09:43For Reed, it's about hitting the biggest thong possible.

01:09:48And look at Leon Slater.

01:09:49He's back up to his feet.

01:09:51He's taking a lot of damage, but he's shaking his head.

01:09:53You and I know Slater well enough.

01:09:54Oh, you better look out.

01:09:57He's the nicest young man I've ever met in my life backstage.

01:10:01But when that bell rings, you have a warrior on your hands.

01:10:05Go for the leg, Leon.

01:10:06And Reed like it's the Matrix.

01:10:08Oh my God, he got him on the counter!

01:10:10The timing is perfect.

01:10:15Reed backed up Slater into the corner now.

01:10:18Up to the top turnbuckle.

01:13:21Ladies and gentlemen, that is the Ex-Division champion.

01:13:31That is the superstar, Leon Slater.

01:13:35Now, I have some very exciting news.

01:13:42You see, I've been negotiating all day, back and forth with Ava from NXT.

01:13:48Because there is a particular match I have in my mind that I want to see.

01:13:52And I'm pretty sure everybody here wants to see.

01:13:55So I'm going to make an announcement right now.

01:13:57Listen to this, because at Bound for Glory, challenging for the TNA Ex-Division Championship versus Leon Slater is an opponent that has me feeling a little bit jumpity-jump.

01:14:14Ladies and gentlemen, this is the opponent.

01:14:17But look, I'm not going to lie, I've always wanted to have a match in a TNA ring.

01:14:31And it hasn't happened.

01:14:33Yet.

01:14:34But what I did hear was that at Bound for Glory, it's going to be you, Leon Slater, versus the young OG Javon Evans for the TNA Ex-Division Championship.

01:14:44So, Leon, Bound for Glory, it's about to get real bouncy.

01:14:54Yeah!
