00:00And their opponents, the team of Cassie Lee and Jesse McKay, they are the TNA Knockout World Tag Team Champions, The Inspiration!
00:21Alright, well I have to point this out, Blanchard and Crawford, you saw during the taglines moments ago, they've only had two matches as a tandem here in TNA.
00:28They're one and one, the one loss is to the Inspiration, it wasn't that long ago.
00:35Odds, the stats are not in their favor, that's for true, but if there's, that is definitely real, but if there's anything we know about someone like Tessa Blanchard, and again, they feed into everything we've been saying so far, there's an ace up her sleeve somewhere, always ready for challenges like this.
00:53The Inspiration, looking as iconic as ever.
00:57They're, they're mean.
00:59What do you mean they're mean?
01:00They're mean, they're mean girls.
01:02They're mean to you, because you deserve it.
01:05Why don't you run down to Miller's Ale House with Vic and hang out?
01:09Hey, I got a job to do, alright, unlike some people.
01:12We'll see who gets the job done here, in this match.
01:15Uh, what is this?
01:21Maybe we're going to get some answers.
01:23Orlando, Orlando, Orlando.
01:27Escúchame, por favor.
01:29Unfortunately, I am not medically cleared to compete tonight.
01:40But let my absence serve as a reminder that Victoria and I, we operate on a level much different than everybody here.
01:48And by here, I mean Orlando, Florida, a place with three types of people, retirees, Disney adults, and crackheads by the looks of it.
02:00But don't worry, in my place tonight, someone that the mentor Victoria and I trust very much.
02:16So please help me welcome, in her TNA Knockouts debut, the bombshell, Mila Moore.
02:28Whoa, talk about a bombshell of an announcement.
02:34This was unexpected.
02:36How appropriate that we heard from Mila Moore last night on Impact.
02:41Her official announcement as a signing of TNA Wrestling.
02:47And she told us a heartfelt story of her path for TNA Wrestling, professional wrestling, trying to get to this opportunity.
02:53Training nearby with our own Ace Steel at the Foundation of Professional Wrestling here in Orlando.
02:59And Mila said, when I got signed, I said, why did it take you so long?
03:04I mean, look, she is the total package.
03:06You can just take a look at her and understand why she might think that.
03:09But the confidence oozing off Mila Moore.
03:12Now, what an opportunity in her official debut as a TNA Knockout to get a title match?
03:22So Tessa Blanchard, not medically cleared to compete, is leaving the ringside area.
03:26But do you think at all what I was saying before about Blanchard and Crawford's record against the Inspiration,
03:33maybe this could work out in a favor?
03:35Like I said, I mean, we go from a team that was 1-1, only two matches, to a team that's had no matches together now with Crawford and Mila Moore.
03:44But, hey, this could throw the game off of their opponent wildly.
03:49Wildly.
03:50It's an X-factor.
03:52So here we go.
03:53It's an M-factor.
03:54Three teams competing here, obviously.
03:57Only two teams, however, can be legal in the matchup at a time.
04:00Only one member of a legal team can be in the match at a time.
04:04Competitors can tag in or out off their own partner or a member of an opposing team.
04:09The first team to gain pinball or submission in the ring are the champions.
04:13And it was nearly the Angel Warriors.
04:18And a quick back and forth here in the early going.
04:22Playing Lee, who's in some of the best shape of her life.
04:25Cassie Lee trying to pull this away and retain the titles.
04:29Yep.
04:30The Inspiration successfully defended the titles.
04:32Back to the glory.
04:33Oh, another kick out here by Lee.
04:35Did so against the Elegance brand that night in Lowell, Massachusetts.
04:39Tag.
04:39Great tag there on the run.
04:45Now the teamwork coming into play.
04:48That's an A-legal.
04:49Zia Brookside coming in to try and support Layin Lee.
04:52Now Crawford and Moore getting into the mix.
04:57And the Inspiration just laying everybody to the side.
05:04No, no, no.
05:05No, don't, don't, don't, don't do this.
05:09And now the Inspiration going after anything that moves.
05:14I like that.
05:15I thought they were going to do that stupid thing where they put their hands on their hips.
05:18It's the most inspirational move in wrestling.
05:20You hush.
05:22But right now, they are doing the work.
05:25Oh, wait.
05:26Oh, no.
05:26There it is.
05:28God dang it.
05:29I spoke it into existence.
05:31The biggest bullies in the knockouts division get one up on me again.
05:34The Inspiration.
05:36The women's tag team.
05:38The Knockouts World Tag Team Champions.
05:41However, tags made there.
05:43Mila Moore was able to tag herself in.
05:45And now it's Layin Lee.
05:47Legal against Moore.
05:48Victoria Crawford.
05:50Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:52And down goes Moore off the suplex.
05:55Cover.
05:55By Lay.
05:56Shoulders down and a kick out.
05:58While those tags were going down, I was saying Victoria Crawford managed to eliminate the Inspiration from the equation.
06:04Down on the outside.
06:05But the match continues.
06:07Now the Angel Warriors going to work against Mila Moore.
06:11Running Senton.
06:13Brookside dives out of the ring.
06:14Here's the cover.
06:15By Lay.
06:15And a kick out.
06:16Now to all those rules you pointed out earlier, though, Tom.
06:20Now the Inspiration, lots of them.
06:22They are in a tough position here.
06:24Because like any other triple threat match, they do not have to be pinned to lose those titles.
06:29That decision could happen any time here.
06:31Oh, and a kick right to the midsection by Victoria Crawford.
06:34As Moore had the attention of our referee.
06:36Paige Brins a volley.
06:38Good early teamwork from this brand new team.
06:42Throat first into the top rope.
06:44And again, it's the X-Factor of Moore.
06:47Here's the cover.
06:47Trying to win the titles.
06:48And a kick out.
06:49This would be eerily reminiscent of Kylan King and Taylor Wilde once upon a time.
06:56Kylan King winning the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship alongside Taylor Wilde.
07:00The team knows the cover in King's first matchup.
07:04That's true.
07:04It's a very, very real parallel.
07:07History has a funny way of repeating itself that way.
07:11And I can tell you from firsthand experience, not only in the early appearances that Mila Moore had before she was officially signed here to TNA,
07:19but around the wrestling world, I've been on several shows with her.
07:22She continues to get better and better every time.
07:26More tenacity.
07:27More aggression.
07:29More urgency.
07:30That's the key.
07:31Those are the keys you need to be a champion.
07:33And again, throwing Moore in at the last moment with Blanchard not medically clear to compete.
07:39Plus, we have the unpredictable Victoria Crawford, who is a former champion of WWE in her own right.
07:45This is a real challenge for the Inspiration and the Angel Warriors.
07:50Going in thinking you had one set of opponents in the other corner like that and a totally new combo here.
07:56That throws everybody off their game.
07:59And look at it right now.
08:00Mila Moore in firm control of Lay Ying Lee.
08:06Lee, who's consistently been in championship contention this year in TNA Wrestling,
08:13whether it be the Knockouts World Tag Team titles or the Knockouts World Championship itself.
08:17Oh, down goes Lee.
08:19And let's not forget, she's taken a couple little side quests over into mixed martial arts as well,
08:25keeping herself in the tip-top condition, always challenging herself to the highest degree.
08:30And she's got a hell of a challenge here tonight.
08:35Mila Moore continues the assault.
08:39Trying to take away the right arm.
08:41We know how gifted a striker Lay Ying Lee is.
08:45He takes some of those weapons away.
08:47Immediately, ooh, and thinking of taking a couple weapons away.
08:50The tag champs just got knocked off the apron.
08:55Victoria Crawford in legal.
08:58Have you been listening to the Mentor You podcast, or did Victoria suspend creating episodes?
09:03I mean, I keep getting them every week.
09:05I don't know.
09:05Oh, you do.
09:06I don't know.
09:07She texts them to me every week.
09:08Are you members only on YouTube?
09:09I don't know if they're out there into the public, but I hear them every week.
09:13They're inspirational.
09:14True inspiration, unlike our champions.
09:17Victoria Crawford mentoring in her own mind.
09:20Plenty of knockouts, but the tag's been made.
09:22Ooh, in comes Ziya Brookside of the Angel Warriors.
09:27Lay Ying Lee needed that tag and got it.
09:30Brookside turning this entire matchup on its head.
09:33The daughter of the English wrestling legend, Robbie Brookside.
09:39And now Ziya going to work on Mila Moore.
09:43Double knees, calls that broken wings.
09:47A lot of confidence.
09:49Brookside been looking for championships since showing up here in TNA.
09:52Frost body, shoulders down.
09:55Oh, and the inspiration saved their titles.
09:58That was ever so close.
10:00Now Cassidy and Jesse, they're trying to control Victoria Crawford.
10:08Oh, big kick there by Crawford.
10:11Once again, the tag champs eliminated from the equation for the moment.
10:14Let's talk about another big boot there.
10:17Moore and Crawford.
10:18Can they win the titles?
10:20And everyone breaks up the cover.
10:23That's how treacherous these three-way matches can be.
10:26You got to have your head on a swivel.
10:28Every knockout in the ring right now with the tag team titles at stake.
10:38Everybody finding their partner or something.
10:40It's got to give and break down, and it does.
10:43All six of these knockouts going to fisticuffs to become champions.
10:48A referee trying to get control of this situation.
10:54Good luck with that.
10:56Oh, a huge kick there by Cassie Lee.
10:59And now Crawford rushes at Lee.
11:01Out of almost nowhere, Brookside back into the frame.
11:05Double knees by Brookside.
11:07Moore able to block.
11:08Using her size and strength for a belly-to-back suplex.
11:13Look out.
11:13Ooh.
11:15Lang Lee sending Moore into the corner.
11:17I believe a tag's been made there by the inspiration.
11:20I saw that one.
11:21I think the referee did too,
11:23but I don't know how many others are aware in the fray of it all.
11:26Oh, now Lang Lee sent down to the apron by Moore.
11:31Now things starting to get dangerous here.
11:34That kick to the head.
11:35Moore down on the apron as well.
11:38Precarious position for Moore and Lee.
11:42Everything is breaking down here for several minutes.
11:48Oh, and Moore snapped into that steel post by Lee.
11:54They were locked arm in arm.
12:00Mila Moore might be out on her feet here.
12:02Laying Lee, though, is up.
12:06Laying Lee off of the apron, wiping out Crawford and Moore.
12:13Oh, wait a minute.
12:14Oh, look at this.
12:15Back inside the ring.
12:16Idolizer.
12:17The inspiration made a tag.
12:19Cover.
12:20The inspiration retained.
12:24Here are your winners.
12:26And still the TNA Knockout World Tag Team Champion.
12:34The Inspiration.
12:38Oh, as everything broke down out on the floor,
12:41the inspiration used it to strike when the opportunity was hot.
12:46And they got the job done.
12:50TNA President Carlos Silva returning the championships
12:54to the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions.
12:58The Inspiration.
12:59The reign of terror continues.
13:02Oh, stop it.
13:05Can they get Carlos to dance?
13:07Oh, God.
13:08Now, that would be inspirational.
13:09Come on.
13:12Give it a try.
13:12Ha, ha, ha, ha.
13:16The Inspiration retained their titles at turning point.
