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.
00:00:41Totally.
00:00:41It's personal to me.
00:00:43It's always been personal, but at this point in my life, at this point in my career,
00:00:47I don't know if it can be more personal on a professional level.
00:00:51I try to go out there and give 150% out of the 100% that I am able to catch.
00:01:02That's my goal.
00:01:03We crowned a new champion back at Unbreakable.
00:01:12We're going to crown a new Knockouts World Champion tonight.
00:01:15It began with this battle royal, which was won by Laney Lee and Kalani Jordan of NXT.
00:01:23For Santino Morella, the last two in this battle royal would go on to face each other one-on-one.
00:01:29Tonight for the vacant Knockouts World Championship.
00:01:34It was a very unexpected beginning to the events here at Victory Road,
00:01:39but any which way you throw it, we will make history here tonight
00:01:43with a brand new Knockouts World Champion.
00:01:46Earlier on this evening, Ashby Elegance was forced to relinquish the Knockouts World Championship,
00:01:51having to step away from in-ring competition.
00:01:53So it's come down to this with Indy Hartwell as the special guest referee,
00:01:58Laney Lee of TNA, Kalani 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 by our broadcast colleague, Gia Miller, two weeks from Sunday,
00:02:31live on pay-per-view in TNA Plus in Lowell, Massachusetts, Indy Hartwell,
00:02:37the number one contender to the Knockouts World Championship,
00:02:40will challenge whomever is the champion at Bound for Glory.
00:02:46Indy Hartwell keeps her matchup, and tonight she gets a very close look at who her opponent will be.
00:02:54This is a great scouting opportunity for Indy Hartwell.
00:03:12Victory Road has been full of surprises,
00:03:15from Ashby Elegance relinquishing the Knockouts World Championship
00:03:18to the method in which we're getting to 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.
00:03:30No doubt about it, a history maker in her own right,
00:03:33I mentioned it earlier tonight,
00:03:35the inaugural NXT Women's North American Champion.
00:03:39Tonight, she can make history again by becoming Knockouts World Champion.
00:03:45And Tom, I don't even want 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 Ashby Elegance for writing
00:03:53with an NXT superstar holding TNA gold.
00:03:58Just four weeks ago at WWE Heat Wave,
00:04:00Ashby Elegance brought this,
00:04:02the Knockouts World Championship home to TNA Wrestling.
00:04:06Now the pressure is on Laying Lee to keep it in TNA.
00:04:10where did they get away from?
00:04:13What are they doing?
00:04:13Guys, come on!
00:04:14Who are you, guys?
00:04:15No!
00:04:16Go!
00:04:25All right, go!
00:04:31No!
00:04:31No!
00:04:33Go!
00:04:33Go!
00:04:34Go!
00:04:34Go!
00:04:35Go!
00:04:35Go!
00:04:36Go!
00:04:36Go!
00:04:37Go!
00:04:37Go!
00:04:38Go!
00:04:39Go!
00:04:40Go!
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, but this is completely different.
00:05:01Everything that has transpired this evening, Zia Brookside supporting Laying Lee,
00:05:06her tag team partner within the Angel Warriors, who's got to mean a tremendous amount.
00:05:11But Lee's fighting for herself, trying to make history, fighting on behalf of TNA Wrestling.
00:05:18How in the world do you compartmentalize your emotions?
00:05:20And especially all of this being strung upon them just tonight.
00:05:25None of this was scheduled as we began our broadcast here tonight in Edmonton.
00:05:30So everybody's been trying to think on their feet, especially the entire Knockouts Division.
00:05:36So trying to, in a moment like this, on a night like this, you just move one moment at a time.
00:05:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:05:53And it's for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
00:06:01Introducing first, from Boynton Beach, Florida, Kalani Jordan.
00:06:15And her opponent, from Chongqing, China, Wei Ying Li.
00:06:30And again, Indy Hartwell, a very important position here as the official in this matchup.
00:06:51Crowning a brand new world champion and getting a very close view at who she will be competing with at Bound for Glory.
00:07:05In a shocking turn of events, we are about to crown the new TNA Knockouts World Champion
00:07:19between TNA's Laying Li and NXT's Kalani Jordan with Indy Hartwell of TNA as the special guest referee.
00:07:29And mind you, Indy Hartwell is the number one contender for this championship come Bound for Glory.
00:07:37But also, company pride is at stake after what happened this past Tuesday night,
00:07:41especially great sportsmanship here that was shown between Jordan and Lee.
00:07:45But do you think Indy Hartwell can remain impartial?
00:07:48I mean, quite frankly, I don't want her to remain impartial if I'm being honest with you.
00:07:54But I think she's more focused rather on, she has to talk about, talk about compartmentalizing, excuse me.
00:08:02Exactly.
00:08:04You have to kind of keep it focused on what is ahead of you.
00:08:07You kind of have to put the tensions between TNA and NXT aside.
00:08:11For Indy Hartwell, it's got to be all about Bound for Glory.
00:08:15Indy doing the right thing there, separating the two combatants in the corner.
00:08:19Struggle here early on between Lee and Jordan.
00:08:23Jordan, for those that are not familiar with her work, is one of the fastest rising stars in NXT.
00:08:28Her adaptability to the world of professional wrestling has been truly remarkable.
00:08:33Not only in strength and agility, she's a former gymnast.
00:08:37All kinds of acrobatic and aerial prowess as well.
00:08:40And has taken to wrestling very, very fast.
00:08:43There are some people who you watch and they just get it.
00:08:46They just click.
00:08:48She is one of those competitors.
00:08:49Former Michigan State Spartan.
00:08:51Now Laying Lee.
00:08:54Trying to hang here with Jordan in the early going.
00:08:56We know what Laying Lee is all about.
00:08:58Mixed martial arts background.
00:09:00Wants to play the striking game, but can certainly go down to the mat and gain control.
00:09:04Give the power advantage to Lee.
00:09:11The striking ability as well.
00:09:12But again, I would probably give the agility and speed to Jordan.
00:09:16And it's a tough guess to see which one will win out.
00:09:22Just about two years ago, Raywell to Rebellion 2023.
00:09:25Another instance where the Knockouts World Championship was vacant due to injury at the time.
00:09:31The future TNA Hall of Famer, Mickey James, had to relinquish the title.
00:09:35We had a tremendous match that night in Toronto.
00:09:38Deanna Perrazzo became the new champion, defeating Jordan Grace.
00:09:42A history repeating itself in some ways here years later.
00:09:46That's right.
00:09:47We move on.
00:09:49We got to move forward.
00:09:51We have to find a new champion to lead this Knockouts division.
00:09:56Always has been.
00:09:57In my mind, always will be one of the most competitive women's divisions on the planet in professional wrestling.
00:10:04Oh, on the move.
00:10:06Nice job there by Lee to take Jordan off for a feet.
00:10:08Knee right to the face.
00:10:09Lee trying to push the face here.
00:10:11This is very smart.
00:10:12Battle to the metal.
00:10:14Cover.
00:10:14Cover.
00:10:15And a kick out by Jordan.
00:10:16Good steady count there by Indy.
00:10:18Not letting your opponent breathe.
00:10:21You don't want to give him any chance to recover.
00:10:23Get back in the game.
00:10:26Lee trying to push that advantage.
00:10:28Jordan felt it coming.
00:10:30Tremendous adaptability by Jordan.
00:10:32In her young pro wrestling career.
00:10:35Off the splash.
00:10:35Here's the cover.
00:10:36Trying to win the title and a kick out.
00:10:41Unlike most title matches, there is no champion's advantage or anything of the like.
00:10:46Both competitors here have everything to win and everything to lose.
00:10:49Shoulders down by Lee.
00:10:51Now Jordan on a kick out.
00:10:56Double-A takedown.
00:10:57Jackknife cover.
00:10:58Lee trying to win the title.
00:11:00And a bridge out by Jordan.
00:11:02Very impressive.
00:11:03I told you, I thought the strength game would go to Lee.
00:11:07Up shoulders down and a kick out.
00:11:09But man, what power by Jordan there.
00:11:13Sweep out the legs.
00:11:14Finally does.
00:11:14Jordan pressing the shoulders down.
00:11:16Another kick out.
00:11:17Lee this time returns the favor.
00:11:19And a kick out.
00:11:20A bridge out as well there by Jordan.
00:11:21He threw up the pace.
00:11:24And a stalemate in the middle of this one.
00:11:34Now it is back to the drawing board.
00:11:37For both.
00:11:37Lee ying li extending the hand once again.
00:11:50Chance for both TNA and NXT tonight in Edmonton.
00:11:57TNA knockout's world championship can trace its lineage all the way back to 2007.
00:12:01Oh, what a kick out.
00:12:032007 at Bound for Glory.
00:12:05The first champion, the TNA Hall of Famer, Gail Kim.
00:12:08Ever since then, the knockout's world championship has been the most consistent representation of opportunity and excellence in women's wrestling.
00:12:17And now, Lee raining down these hammer fists to the skull of Kalani Jordan here.
00:12:30Shot right to the skull there.
00:12:32Laying Lee.
00:12:34Oh, launching Jordan.
00:12:37Scrambling for the cover.
00:12:38Trying to win the vacant title and a kick out.
00:12:42A lot of resilience shown by Kalani Jordan here.
00:12:45I have to give her credit.
00:12:47What a scene here at the Edmonton Expo Center.
00:12:52What this crowd has witnessed tonight.
00:12:53The constant change surrounding the knockout's world championship from the second he came on the air virtually.
00:13:00Now up onto the shoulders.
00:13:02And this is something Laying Lee has used to win matches quite a bit recently.
00:13:07Going for a spinning face buster.
00:13:09Jordan able to escape it.
00:13:11Almost ran into Indy Hartwell, though.
00:13:14Now Lee.
00:13:15Almost into Hartwell.
00:13:16Two collisions.
00:13:18Miriam Lee with the referee.
00:13:22Oh!
00:13:22Beautiful.
00:13:22Don Northern Lights.
00:13:24I'm going to kick out by Lee.
00:13:25With the bridge as well.
00:13:27Jordan very impressive there.
00:13:29But not enough to put Lee away.
00:13:31I'll say this thus far.
00:13:33Hartwell has called this down the middle.
00:13:37Oh, single leg Boston Crab modified here.
00:13:41There's no animosity here.
00:13:42This is just a scouting opportunity disguised as a referee position for Indy Hartwell.
00:13:49Exactly.
00:13:50Meanwhile, this has been an excellent showcase between Kalani Jordan and Laying Lee.
00:13:55This is what the TNA Knockouts World Championship is all about.
00:14:00Jordan getting nasty there.
00:14:03Some of the crowd may not like it, but it is damn sure effective.
00:14:06Single leg Boston Crab.
00:14:08Shades of Alberta's own Lance Storm here tonight at Victory Road.
00:14:14Look out.
00:14:16Oh!
00:14:16Oh, and there goes Kalani Jordan hard to the outside.
00:14:20Well-placed counter.
00:14:22Put Jordan all the way to the outside.
00:14:24FI's playing lead.
00:14:26Much-needed time.
00:14:28Kalani Jordan collecting herself, getting back up to the apron.
00:14:33Now think about going to the top turnbuckle here.
00:14:38Oh!
00:14:40Oh, a palm strike by Lee.
00:14:42Oh, and another little bit of payback for those kicks moments ago.
00:14:48Maybe the respect's starting to bleed out the window a little bit here.
00:14:54Oh!
00:14:58Oh, now Lee.
00:15:02Lee jumps up to the top rope to meet Kalani Jordan.
00:15:06Down goes Jordan!
00:15:10But can Lee capitalize?
00:15:13Oren can run up from the top.
00:15:16But it took a lot out of Lee as well.
00:15:22Take another look at this.
00:15:23From the top, Lee snaps off this beautiful Herring can run up.
00:15:29But enough has been taken out of both competitors.
00:15:32Lee could not capitalize.
00:15:36One more title!
00:15:38Count of six.
00:15:40Andy Hartwell.
00:15:41Both Jordan and Lee back up to their feet.
00:15:43The match continues.
00:15:45Forehead to forehead.
00:15:46Nose to nose.
00:15:47Is now going blow for blow with the Knockouts World Title hanging in the balance.
00:15:52Strong, striking game.
00:16:05Laying Lee coming into play here.
00:16:12Kalani Jordan firing off here.
00:16:14We talked about the striking capability of Laying Lee.
00:16:17Kalani Jordan not backing down.
00:16:19But Lee asking for more.
00:16:23And this is Laying Lee's wheelhouse.
00:16:26Now turning the advantage.
00:16:28Boom!
00:16:30Right back into her corner.
00:16:31I do not like this situation for Kalani Jordan.
00:16:34Laying Lee, arguably the best striker at TNA today.
00:16:39That was a perfectly placed thrust kick as well.
00:16:43Oh!
00:16:44Snapping the neck.
00:16:46Follows it up with a low drop kick.
00:16:48Jades and Maddie Neidhart right there.
00:16:51Pressing the shoulders down and a kick out.
00:16:55Take a little bit more from Laying Lee there to walk out as the Knockouts World Champion.
00:17:09Jordan continues to survive.
00:17:12It's been extremely impressive.
00:17:14But Laying Lee is not deterred.
00:17:16Look at this.
00:17:18Whoa!
00:17:19Jordan able to escape close range with a thrust kick there.
00:17:23Great counter there from Kalani.
00:17:25Jordan now lining up Lee.
00:17:28Jordan rushes in.
00:17:30Lee out of the corner.
00:17:31Pressing the shoulders down.
00:17:33Didn't have it long enough.
00:17:35Turning it around.
00:17:36Look at this!
00:17:37Blue Thunder Bomb!
00:17:38Lee into the cover!
00:17:40Tucks the orb!
00:17:41Oh!
00:17:41And Jordan is still in it!
00:17:48Kalani Jordan just hanging on.
00:17:54Even Lee thought that was three.
00:17:56You can feel the frustration coming from Laying Lee.
00:18:00Kalani Jordan has taken a great deal of punishment.
00:18:03This is awesome here in Edmonton.
00:18:09Tension is high.
00:18:11Lee putting her eyes right on the prize.
00:18:15Oh!
00:18:15Oh!
00:18:16It's all about the Knockouts World Championship.
00:18:26Keeping that title home here in TNA.
00:18:30Kalani Jordan putting up a hell of a fight.
00:18:34Oh, now Kalani Jordan!
00:18:36Oh, my God!
00:18:38Jordan and Lee go down right next to our announce desk.
00:18:41Good thing I'm a warrior, Lee!
00:18:44Well, now, Indy Hartwell trying to check on Lee.
00:18:48Jordan, though.
00:18:49Jordan is incessant.
00:18:51Insistent on getting Lee back in the ring.
00:18:55I think Jordan's taking this to another level.
00:18:59Perhaps a shot of adrenaline here, Lee, in the match.
00:19:05Now, Lee sent off on the ropes.
00:19:07And Kalani Jordan with a back elbow!
00:19:09With authority as well.
00:19:12And Jordan is fired up here.
00:19:20Now, Kalani Jordan trying to find a way to end this thing.
00:19:26Wait, wait, wait!
00:19:27Oh, hold on a second!
00:19:28Laying Lee!
00:19:29What a counter by Lee!
00:19:31Right into the cross face.
00:19:33And Jordan is in the dead center of the ring!
00:19:40Could this be it?
00:19:42Is this the moment?
00:19:45Can Laying Lee keep the Knockouts World Championship in TNA Wrestling?
00:19:51You see Kent losing a little bit of the cross face.
00:19:54Kalani Jordan taking advantage.
00:19:57Separating the hands.
00:19:59And now Jordan pressing the shoulder stand on Lee!
00:20:02And a kick out!
00:20:05Lee had that STF locked in for a little while.
00:20:08But the wear and tear of this matchup catching up to both these competitors, frankly.
00:20:13But they still continue to push forward.
00:20:15It's after they already competed earlier tonight in that battle royal to get here.
00:20:22A grueling night for both competitors!
00:20:26And Lee got planted!
00:20:29Face first into the canvas goes Laying Lee.
00:20:36And now Kalani Jordan up to the top rope!
00:20:39Full splash!
00:20:42Cover!
00:20:43Oh, and a kick out by Lee!
00:20:45That was very, very close.
00:20:48Sorry!
00:20:49Sorry!
00:20:49It was sorry!
00:20:50It was sorry!
00:20:51But Laying Lee proving very resilient.
00:20:57Watch this one more time.
00:20:59Kalani Jordan going all the way up and nearly brought the Knockouts World Championship to NXT once again.
00:21:08Oh, wait a minute!
00:21:10It was going for one of a kind on Lee!
00:21:13But hit Indy Hartwell!
00:21:15The referee is down!
00:21:17It's unfortunate positioning from Indy Hartwell there.
00:21:23And wait, look!
00:21:24But Laying Lee continuing the fight!
00:21:28Thunderstruck!
00:21:29Kalani Jordan down!
00:21:30One, two, three, four!
00:21:32Any other night, that would be it!
00:21:35Eight, nine, ten!
00:21:38One, two, three, four!
00:21:40Laying Lee should be the Knockouts World Champion right now!
00:21:43Indy Hartwell is coming too!
00:21:45Is this going to be it?
00:21:46Oh, and Jordan finally kicks out!
00:21:52Seconds too late.
00:21:55Was that the moment?
00:21:59Lee's got to gather her cell phone.
00:22:01You can understand the frustration, but she's got to collect herself.
00:22:05She's got to refocus.
00:22:06She can't slow down now.
00:22:08That's the thing.
00:22:12Now up under the shoulders.
00:22:14Trying to get that spinning face buster, but the back gave out.
00:22:17Plenty of damage done throughout this matchup.
00:22:19No, Jordan!
00:22:20Jordan nearly had it!
00:22:22Lee going for a cover and a kick out.
00:22:24Back and forth, roll-up for roll-up.
00:22:26Lee kept Jordan close.
00:22:29Going for the backslide.
00:22:33Oh, the stunner!
00:22:35And now, Jordan said no, Lee!
00:22:42Look at this!
00:22:44One of a kind!
00:22:45Are you kidding?
00:22:45Is this it?
00:22:47The Knockouts World Championship is back in NXT hands!
00:22:54Here is your winner,
00:22:56and new TNA Knockouts World Champion,
00:23:05Galvani Jordan!
00:23:12The night the Knockouts World Championship
00:23:15was turned upside down.
00:23:18Victory Road!
00:23:23And now TNA President,
00:23:25Carlos Silva.
00:23:28And you can see it on the face of Indy Hartwell.
00:23:31He feels perhaps partially responsible.
00:23:34That unfortunate positioning earlier on.
00:23:39This is now the third time
00:23:40Carlos Silva has had to turn over
00:23:43a TNA World Championship
00:23:45to an NXT wrestler.
00:23:51But what this means now
00:23:52is that Indy Hartwell
00:23:54has to turn her eyes
00:23:56to October 12th
00:23:58in Lowell, Massachusetts
00:23:59with every fiber
00:24:02of her feet
00:24:03to bring that championship home.
00:24:06I do have to say this.
00:24:09An incredible performance tonight
00:24:10by both these women.
00:24:12Laying Lee
00:24:13had it not been for that
00:24:14incidental contact
00:24:15where Indy Hartwell went down.
00:24:17Lee should be
00:24:19Knockouts World Champion
00:24:20but take absolutely
00:24:22nothing away
00:24:23from Galvani Jordan.
00:24:25She's been a champion
00:24:27in NXT
00:24:28and now after a hard-fought matchup
00:24:31Kalvani Jordan
00:24:33is your new
00:24:34TNA
00:24:35Knackouts World Champion.
00:24:43And a reminder
00:24:44that that right there
00:24:46those two
00:24:46are your Bound for Glory
00:24:49Knockouts World title matchup.
00:24:52Credit Indy Hartwell
00:24:53for calling this down the middle
00:24:55and you can see on the ramp
00:24:56there is the former champion
00:24:59asked by Elegance
00:25:00who announced earlier on tonight
00:25:03and she had to relinquish the title
00:25:04and must step away
00:25:06from in-ring competition.
00:25:08What a moment.
00:25:10She wanted whoever won
00:25:11to elevate that title.
00:25:13That opportunity now belongs
00:25:15to Kalvani Jordan.
00:25:17Well as we learned
00:25:18earlier on tonight
00:25:19due to the changes
00:25:20surrounding the
00:25:21Knockouts World Championship
00:25:23and the fact that
00:25:23the inspiration
00:25:25and the Elegance brand
00:25:25competed in the Battle Royal
00:25:27are on tonight
00:25:28plenty of things changed
00:25:30Indy Hartwell and Kalvani Jordan
00:25:32a nice sign of sportsmanship
00:25:33before their match
00:25:35had bound for glory
00:25:36but as I mentioned
00:25:37the Elegance brand
00:25:37and the inspiration
00:25:38were supposed to compete tonight
00:25:40for the Knockouts World Tag Team titles
00:25:42due to the Battle Royal
00:25:43earlier 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

00:26:03This is the biggest opportunity
00:26:06of Myron Reed's career

00:27:13for TNA
00:27:14as a Marine
00:27:16holding the line
00:27:17isn't just a phrase
00:27:18it means standing
00:27:19shoulder to shoulder
00:27:20with the man next to you
00:27:22no matter how heavy
00:27:23the fire
00:27:24no matter what is

00:27:34by Steve Macklin
00:27:36I have defended this title
00:27:38in a dog collar match
00:27:40against Eric Young
00:27:41Jake something
00:27:43Nance Warner
00:27:44Matt Cardona

00:27:48who 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
00:28:07of his frivolous service
00:28:09at a bunch of
00:28:10old lame war stories
00:28:11their opinion
00:28:13doesn't mean
00:28:13a damn thing
00:28:14what Steve Macklin
00:28:18needs to understand
00:28:19is that
00:28:19history doesn't
00:28:21remember
00:28:21soldiers

00:28:53Steve Macklin's
00:28:54military service
00:28:55a number of times
00:28:56now Macklin
00:28:57pinned Kazarian
00:28:57just last night
00:28:58on impact
00:28:59in a tag team

00:29:05his first TNA title
00:29:07in three years
00:29:08can he do it

00:30:00unsuccessful bid
00:30:01for the TNA

00:30:03has turned his eyes
00:30:04to Steve Macklin
00:30:05and the international
00:30:06title
00:30:07Frankie Kazarian
00:30:09an international
00:30:10athlete in his own
00:30:11right
00:30:11I think it's a good
00:30:12fit
00:30:13does 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
00:30:46he is
00:30:46the 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
00:31:04champion
00:31:05the longest
00:31:06inaugural title reign
00:31:07in this company's
00:31:0823 year history
00:31:10Kazarian's made it
00:31:11personal
00:31:12but Macklin's
00:31:13waiting for a fight
00:31:14and here's one thing
00:31:18Macklin is never
00:31:19backing down from
00:31:20it is a fight
00:31:22especially when
00:31:23Frankie Kazarian
00:31:24has belittled
00:31:25his 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
00:31:34five-day running walk

00:31:38would be used to pay
00:31:39mortgages
00:31:40for the families
00:31:41the first responders
00:31:42who've lost their lives
00:31:43in duty
00:31:44building handicapped
00:31:45accessible smart houses
00:31:46for catastrophically
00:31:47injured combat 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
00:32:04in Edmonton
00:32:05Macklin
00:32:05he's got to put
00:32:07all his energy
00:32:08all his efforts
00:32:09on thwarting
00:32:11Frankie Kazarian
00:32:12and that is no
00:32:13easy feat
00:32:14you have to imagine
00:32:16what Kaz is willing
00:32:17to do
00:32:18to walk out of here
00:32:19with gold
00:32:20it was back at
00:32:23unbreakable
00:32:23in April
00:32:24that we crowned
00:32:25the inaugural
00:32:26GMA international
00:32:27champion
00:32:28Steve Macklin
00:32:29who qualified
00:32:30for that series
00:32:31of triple threat
00:32:32matches
00:32:33which culminated
00:32:33that night
00:32:34in Las Vegas
00:32:35Nevada
00:32:35we got a glimpse
00:32:36at it earlier
00:32:37on this 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
00:32:48it's not exactly
00:32:52tangible
00:32:53it's one of the
00:32:54you can win a title
00:32:55and it not necessarily
00:32:57like you said
00:32:57go on to mean something
00:32:59you have to do something
00:33:00with it
00:33:01and Macklin
00:33:01jumped into the trenches
00:33:03quite literally
00:33:04he talked about it
00:33:05that incredible
00:33:07vicious dog collar match
00:33:09with Eric Young
00:33:10Macklin immediately
00:33:11doing whatever it takes
00:33:13whoa
00:33:13going for the chicken wing
00:33:14Frankie Kazarian
00:33:16certainly willing to do
00:33:17whatever it takes
00:33:17very very close
00:33:18but Macklin
00:33:19like I said
00:33:20go into those trenches
00:33:22to put the international title
00:33:23on the map
00:33:24and here's the thing
00:33:33in a dog collar match
00:33:35in a no rules
00:33:36anything goes
00:33:38knock down
00:33:39drag out fight
00:33:40there are a few people
00:33:40I would ever bet against
00:33:42even less
00:33:42than 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
00:34:04in a standard rules match
00:34:05he was able to do
00:34:05the 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
00:34:14he's ever been better
00:34:15from a technical standpoint
00:34:16I wouldn't disagree
00:34:17with that either
00:34:18Macklin has done
00:34:19nothing but improve
00:34:20since I've seen him
00:34:21quite frankly
00:34:22in 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
00:34:28immense
00:34:28however
00:34:29I will at least say
00:34:32in this international
00:34:33title 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
00:34:41level
00:34:41whoa whoa whoa
00:34:42it's going for KIA
00:34:43and now
00:34:44Kazarian
00:34:45scrambling 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
00:34:53wiliest
00:34:54smartest veterans
00:34:56and in-ring technicians
00:34:58that match in his face
00:34:59Macklin
00:35:01Kazarian
00:35:01getting in each other's heads
00:35:03saying
00:35:03I was this close
00:35:05to 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
00:35:31like a truck
00:35:32that's where Frankie
00:35:33Kazarian
00:35:34needs to take advantage
00:35:35clubbing blows
00:35:41to the back
00:35:41there by Steve Macklin
00:35:42boom
00:35:45the backbreaker
00:35:48trying to retain
00:35:49the championship
00:35:49and a kickout
00:35:50it's a critical
00:35:51defense
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
00:35:59wrestler in this
00:36:00company
00:36:01wants to walk
00:36:01into the biggest
00:36:02event of the year
00:36:03momentum
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 going
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
00:36:24advantage
00:36:24the title
00:36:25can only change
00:36:26hands
00:36:26via pinfall
00:36:27and submission
00:36:27in the ring
00:36:28Kazarian knows
00:36:29that very 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
00:36:38had his sights
00:36:39locked in
00:36:39on Kaz
00:36:40but last minute
00:36:41redirecting the scud
00:36:43to the outside
00:36:45and Tom
00:36:45I can't
00:36:46it looks like
00:36:46Macklin may have
00:36:47busted his lip
00:36:48open or something
00:36:49moments ago
00:36:50I don't know
00:36:52I don't know
00:36:52if it was that
00:36:52spill to the ground
00:36:53or if it was
00:36:54just before that
00:36:55but either way
00:36:56leg drop across
00:36:58the chest
00:36:58it had been moments
00:36:59prior when the two
00:37:00were exchanging
00:37:01right hands
00:37:02in the center
00:37:02of 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
00:37:12in time
00:37:12when Kazarian
00:37:13didn't officially
00:37:14work for this company
00:37:15now
00:37:16Kaz trying to run
00:37:20Macklin
00:37:21off of the
00:37:22international title
00:37:23win the title
00:37:24saw how that
00:37:25forearm
00:37:25crossed the face
00:37:27there
00:37:27Kazarian
00:37:27was shrewd
00:37:29normally in moments
00:37:31like this
00:37:31in a match
00:37:31is when I say
00:37:32it does something
00:37:34on Manly
00:37:34when you see
00:37:35your own blood
00:37:36spilled
00:37:36but if there's
00:37:37one guy
00:37:38I wouldn't doubt
00:37:38when that happens
00:37:40it's Steve Macklin
00:37:41you talked about
00:37:41Macklin
00:37:42seeing Red
00:37:43that temper
00:37:44it has
00:37:44cost him
00:37:45in the past
00:37:46it's also
00:37:47guided him
00:37:47to some of
00:37:48his biggest
00:37:49victories
00:37:49ironically
00:37:50I was talking
00:37:50about Rebellion
00:37:512023
00:37:51earlier on
00:37:52tonight
00:37:53it's the night
00:37:54that Steve
00:37:54Macklin won
00:37:55the TNA
00:37:56World Championship
00:37:57an incredible
00:37:58matchup against
00:37:59Kushida
00:37:59and I think
00:38:00the emotions
00:38:01that Macklin
00:38:02was feeling
00:38:02that night
00:38:03the way
00:38:03Kushida
00:38:03led him
00:38:05to that title
00:38:05win
00:38:06so it's a
00:38:06double-edged
00:38:06sword
00:38:07uh-oh
00:38:09wait a minute
00:38:09oh

00:38:13there
00:38:13and Macklin
00:38:14still able
00:38:15to drop
00:38:15Kazarian
00:38:16didn't quite
00:38:21get all
00:38:21of it
00:38:21he wanted
00:38:22but enough
00:38:22to put

00:50:40and get it done on the biggest stage that TNA has at Battle for Glory.

00:50:50And with that comes the TNA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
00:50:54Now, it was announced earlier this week in a pair of surprise announcements by TNA President Carlos Silva.
00:51:00The 2025 TNA Hall of Fame class will feature five-time Knockouts World Champion Mickie James
00:51:07and the revolutionary tandem of Angelina Lum and Velvet Sky, the beautiful people.
00:51:13This marks the first TNA Hall of Fame class where multiple women and only women will be inducted.
00:51:20The 2025 TNA Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place Sunday, October 12th,
00:51:27live in Lowell, Massachusetts as a part of Battle for Glory.
00:51:31But right here in Edmonton, it is time for our main event as the X Division title is on the line.
00:51:39As we get set for our main event here at Victory Road, let's take a look at the X-Factors between Slater and Reed.
00:51:54Reed won a four-way matchup weeks ago on Impact to earn this title shot.
00:51:58Leon Slater has not lost a singles match in TNA Wrestling in five months.
00:52:05We can confirm that the winner of this matchup will represent the X Division Championship at Bound for Glory.
00:52:12And this is the Final TNA Hall.
00:52:36Myron Reed
00:52:46escorted out here by his brothers
00:52:50to wish him well
00:52:51The Rascals run
00:52:54strong, they run deep
00:52:56but this one is all
00:52:58on the shoulders of a young goat
00:53:00It was just a few
00:53:02months ago that Myron Reed
00:53:04stepped in for an injured Trey Miguel
00:53:06at Slammiversary
00:53:08in a four team matchup for the
00:53:10TNA World Tag Team title
00:53:12The opportunity of a lifetime
00:53:14There have been many in TNA
00:53:16wrestling and in the pro wrestling world
00:53:18as a whole, wondering
00:53:20when Myron Reed was going to get
00:53:22his singles
00:53:24opportunity. I mentioned it earlier
00:53:26on tonight, this is the first
00:53:28time in over a year and a half
00:53:30that the X Division Championship
00:53:32is main eventing a TNA
00:53:34live special
00:53:35This is proof of the hard work
00:53:38and dedication Myron Reed
00:53:40has put in
00:53:40a B
00:54:07Myron 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, but you have to understand what this man fights for.
00:54:46He 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 platforms.
00:55:04Leon spoke to you and I earlier on today, and 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.
00:55:18So 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.
00:56:36Yay!
00:56:4523 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, and especially in our main event tonight at Victory Road.
00:57:14What an opportunity ahead of these two young stars on the path to bow for glory.
00:57:20TNA!
00:57:32Myron Reed reminding Slater what it's all about.
00:57:34Slater 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 the 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, I appreciate the confidence.
00:57:56You have to come into a matchup like this with that.
00:58:00If you waver, you will fall.
00:58:01A 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.
00:58:19People have made their legacies, made their careers in the X Division for a reason.
00:58:27I 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.
00:58:35The very first X Division champion, as I mentioned, 23 years ago in Huntsville, Alabama.
00:58:41Great X Division champions, the likes of Chris Saban, Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian.
00:58:48You saw earlier on tonight, Trevor Lee, amazing red, Jay Lethal.
00:58:52The list goes on and on.
00:58:54And, of course, I'd be remiss, the other two rascals of Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz.
00:59:01That has bothered Myron Reed.
00:59:04He wants to join that company, but speaking of being bothered, I feel Leon Slater ticked off
00:59:09that he got into that situation there against Myron Reed.
00:59:13We talked about that attitude.
00:59:15Leon Slater comes into these matches with, yeah.
00:59:17He 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, separating these two.
00:59:33Champions 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!
00:59:44Reed tried to pick brother Leon Slater,
00:59:46and 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,
00:59:54but 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.
01:00:02Everything to gain in this main event.
01:00:05And that is when wrestlers are at the most dangerous.
01:00:07Oh, 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,
01:00:22could it be the undoing of Leon Slater in a certain scenario?
01:00:25Could tonight be that scenario?
01:00:28Slater being the aggressor of the early going there.
01:00:32Oh, man, Reed had connected with that lung blower moments ago,
01:00:35but Slater got it with the single leg dropkick.
01:00:37Next, Slater on the move.
01:00:38Oh, no!
01:00:39Bring 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,
01:01:01if we take a look back here at what happened moments ago.
01:01:03Take a look.
01:01:04Slater meeting.
01:01:06Myron Reed at the ropes.
01:01:07Dive into the floor.
01:01:09Taking out the competition.
01:01:10We'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 acclimate to the time zone.
01:01:34Can you imagine the dedication for an athlete to persevere through those situations
01:01:40and 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.
01:01:59So it is another level here for Leon Slater as he rains down upon Myron Reed.
01:02:05It 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.
01:02:17He 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,
01:02:30but 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 bow for glory.
01:02:44It's two weeks away from Sunday, live in Lowell, Massachusetts.
01:02:51Now, whoa.
01:02:52Oh, got him.
01:02:53Hold on, Reed.
01:02:54Reed trying to stack him up.
01:02:56Trying 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.
01:03:04And that hits.
01:03:05That's unreal timing.
01:03:09Watch this one more time.
01:03:12Leon 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.
01:03:22And that kick moments later by the young goat flattening the champion.
01:03:28Now, 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.
01:03:47And that really ticked off Slater.
01:03:49Great wherewithal again from Reed.
01:03:52Oh, up and over.
01:03:54Slater tried to bait him there, it looked like.
01:03:56Saw it coming.
01:03:59Hit for tat.
01:04:00Miss for miss.
01:04:01Counter to counter.
01:04:04Reed chasing Slater.
01:04:06Just 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.
01:04:28Capacity crowd here inside the Edmonton Expo Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
01:04:45First time ever TNA Wrestling has ever made it all the way up here to Edmonton.
01:04:49And what a reception we've had this evening live for Victory Road.
01:04:56Oh, off 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.
01:05:08Again, 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.
01:05:16With a couple extra spins.
01:05:19Is it enough?
01:05:20Oh, and somehow Myron Reed kicked out.
01:05:23And that's when 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 early on in the matchup from that same type of situation.
01:05:50And 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.
01:06:11Trying to get him to move one play, one direction so he can complete a pass in another direction.
01:06:16It's brilliant.
01:06:16Now Slater getting out of dodge.
01:06:21Not wasting any time.
01:06:24But Reed, what is it?
01:06:25Oh!
01:06:25Boomed 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 it's not Slater.
01:06:43It'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!
01:06:57Went through the timekeeper's table.
01:07:00And immediately not wasting any time.
01:07:05Rolling him right in.
01:07:07This could be the closing moment.
01:07:10Slater going to the top rope.
01:07:12Is it time for the Swanton 4.50?
01:07:17Roll through.
01:07:18Reed able to escape just for a moment.
01:07:21Leg lariat by Slater.
01:07:23Reed inside out.
01:07:24This is the most aggressive version of Slater we've seen as champion.
01:07:35Oh, my God.
01:07:35Both men to the outside.
01:07:38Slater still got him.
01:07:39Oh, Stun Dog Millionaire.
01:07:41Good God.
01:07:49What the hell did we just witness?
01:07:54Holy, holy hell, what a sequence.
01:07:57The roll through, the counter, the suplex, to the outside, to the floor, to Slater, to the setup, to the Stun 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 range.
01:08:25Slater evading, very smart, getting himself outside of the ropes, taking himself away from danger, if anything, just for a moment.
01:08:32Both guys continue into a...
01:08:33Oh, flame on!
01:08:38The cutter from Reed to the outside.
01:08:40Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
01:08:48Reed, once again, big risk, big reward!
01:08:53Boom!
01:08:53450! That's how he won the number one contendership!
01:08:58Can he take advantage, though?
01:09:00Damage to the midsection just by hitting that 450.
01:09:04Now trying to get into position.
01:09:06Cover!
01:09:07Oh, and a kick out!
01:09:09Oh, that extra second, that extra solitary second it took Reed to get to the cover was all Leon Slater needed.
01:09:18Extra nation forever! Extra nation forever! Extra nation forever! Extra nation forever!
01:09:27Now Reed trying to figure out a way to take the extitution title from Leon Slater.
01:09:34Both these guys have been adapting to each other.
01:09:41That's been the game of Slater in this matchup.
01:09:44For Reed, it's about hitting the biggest bomb 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.
01:09:55Oh, 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 low.
01:10:06And Reed, like it's the Matrix!
01:10:08Oh my God!
01:10:09He 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!
01:10:20The damage has been done to the midsection, the core, the lower back, it appears, on Myron Reed in the course of this bout.
01:10:29You can see Reed.
01:10:31And up top...
01:10:32Oh!
01:10:32It got turned around!
01:10:34Slater countered it!
01:10:35That twisting suplex out of the corner into the center.
01:10:40And now Slater once again looking to take advantage.
01:10:43Put it all the way down.
01:10:45Reed is down!
01:10:47Both men feeling the pain of this matchup!
01:10:49Slater time for 50!
01:10:53One, two, three!
01:10:55A thriller at Victory Road!
01:10:59Here is your winner and still the TNA Exhibition Champion, Leon Slater!

01:11:27Leon Slater making big plays as always.
01:11:31Diving all the way over to the outside and hear that incredible sequence.
01:11:35They would not let go.
01:11:37They would not give up until it was over.
01:11:40And it all came down to this when it was over.
01:11:43Fighting through the pain.
01:11:44The Swanton 450.
01:11:46Picture perfect as always for Slater to stay on top of the X Division.
01:11:53TNA President Carlos Silva handing the championship back to Leon Slater after a spectacular performance.
