00:00Situation, obviously, you went one-on-one with Tessa Blanchard at the biggest Bound for Glory event of all time.
00:07Tessa Blanchard needed a roll of quarters to beat you that night.
00:12I appreciate and respect that you're being a professional,
00:15continuing to do your job as a correspondent and an announcer, but this has to be difficult.
00:20I won't lie to you, Tom. It is difficult, but you said it best.
00:24If there's one thing I am, it's a professional, and she did.
00:28She had to use a roll of quarters to beat me, because I think if the match went on any longer,
00:34I was going to do exactly what I said I was going to do, and that was embarrass her,
00:37and she didn't want to face that embarrassment.
00:39So I did what I said I was going to do.
00:41I wanted one opportunity to get my hands on her, and I think I made my point.
00:45So from here on out, we're going to be professional as long as she keeps it professional.
00:51I agree that you did make your point at Bound for Glory.
00:54What an opportunity you had.
00:56I did. I was very excited to see you have that opportunity, but we're going to focus.
01:01We're going to do our jobs here.
01:02This is Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford up against Harley Hudson and Myla Grace.
01:07It'll be Blanchard to start things off against Hudson.
01:13And, Gia, there are a lot of questions in the Knockouts Tag Team ranks,
01:18and this could be an opportunity for one of these two teams to gain some ground.
01:22Yeah, absolutely.
01:23The team of Harley and Myla, they are newer to the division, but they've shown a lot of promise as a team so far.
01:31But you know how Tessa and Victoria tend to operate.
01:35They like to win at all costs.
01:39Yes.
01:39Victoria Crawford playing a part at Bound for Glory, one degree or another in your matchup.
01:44But focusing on the here and now, Hudson.
01:47Fireman's carry takeover.
01:48Here's the cover.
01:49Pressing the shoulders down.
01:50Now controlling the left arm.
01:52It's been a minute, as I mentioned, since we've seen Hudson and Grace in action here at TNA.
01:56What have they been up to?
01:57They have been doing their best to stay on the radar.
02:02They've been getting as many reps at the tag team as possible.
02:05They've been traveling the world.
02:07They've been making a name for themselves outside of TNA,
02:10and they're hoping to bring that experience here to the Knockout locker room.
02:15So let's see if they can overcome this rather unconventional team of Tessa and Victoria.
02:22Look at Grace frustrating.
02:23Blanchard in a kickout.
02:25Tessa Blanchard, a two-time world champion here in TNA Wrestling.
02:30Pressing the shoulders down.
02:31Wow.
02:32Beautiful bridge out there by Myla Grace.
02:35Shoulders down now, and Blanchard staying alive.
02:38You're right.
02:39Blanchard is a former two-time world champion, but...
02:43Tag.
02:44Oh, oh, oh, oh, zing, zing!
02:47Victoria Crawford grabbed a hold of Grace.
02:49A tag was made there by Crawford, and down goes Blanchard.
02:54Now Grace tagging Hudson.
02:59Oh!
03:00Shot right to the face.
03:02Come on!
03:04Myla Grace showing why she is that girl.
03:08Now Victoria Crawford was trying to take a shot there.
03:10Myla Grace, Harley Hudson saw it coming, and protected her tag team partner.
03:15Great teamwork by these two.
03:17Go, go, go, go, go!
03:17Ooh!
03:18Let's go!
03:19Jay's first into the top turnbuckle.
03:22Tremendous IQ there by Hudson.
03:24And Crawford is reeling.
03:26Oh, okay, come on.
03:28Ah, no!
03:29Come on, Harley!
03:31It has been such a joy to watch Hudson put on a wrestling clinic here in the early minutes of this match.
03:37Both of these competitors, they might be young, and this is what I'm getting at earlier.
03:41Both, both Victoria and Blanchard are both super experienced, but these two women, they are on the rise, and haven't even begun to reach their peak.
03:51Now Crawford able to take down Hudson.
03:56On the move, ooh, tripped up, dropped toe hold there.
04:00Now Hudson, big shoulder tackle.
04:05Now Hudson, barking at Blanchard, down nose Crawford off the bulldog.
04:16Oh, and Hudson's feeling it.
04:18Hudson's having some fun in the leg drop.
04:21A little strut into the leg drop.
04:24Here's the cover kick out by Crawford.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Come on.
04:28Come on.
04:29Come on.
04:30Come on.
04:31Come on.
04:32Come on.
04:33Now Hudson launched into the corner there by Crawford.
04:37Oh!
04:38Oh!
04:39Oh!
04:40Oh!
04:41Big shot right to the rims there by Crawford.
04:44Oh, now, oh!
04:45Hudson going into the middle row.
04:47Oh, no!
04:48Oh!
04:49Oh, now Tessa Blanchard tossing Hudson back inside.
04:51The referee keeping an eye on Blanchard.
04:53No, no, no, no, no, no!
04:54Smart referee!
04:55Oh, no!
04:56I was expecting much worse.
04:57Oh, Northern Lights suplex there.
04:58The bridge and a kick out.
05:00You got it!
05:01You got it!
05:02Tag made.
05:03In comes Blanchard.
05:04And to your point, I completely agree.
05:05Typically, we see Blanchard and Crawford attack behind the referee's back.
05:10Tag again.
05:11Oh!
05:12Oh!
05:13Oh!
05:14Oh!
05:15Oh!
05:16And that thawed kick right to the spine.
05:19And now Crawford controlling Hudson.
05:23Knocking the win out of Hudson and then putting her in a chokehold.
05:26Not letting her get the win back in.
05:29It's been a minute since we all heard a new episode of the Mentor You podcast.
05:34Gia, do you miss it at all?
05:35I got it.
05:36Oh!
05:37Oh!
05:38Big shot there by Blanchard.
05:39I play the fifth.
05:40No comment.
05:41Oh!
05:42Back over.
05:43Move right to the face there by Hudson.
05:45Now trying to crawl through.
05:49Makes a tag.
05:50Here comes Myla Grace.
05:51And she is fresh and ready to take over where her partner left off.
05:59Now Grace goes after Blanchard.
06:02Picking up the speed here on a big clothesline.
06:07A little switcheroo confusing Blanchard.
06:11So smart and now making quick offense.
06:15Oh!
06:16Innovative move there.
06:17Here's the cover.
06:18Shoulders down.
06:19Blanchard stays in it.
06:21I love Myla Grace.
06:22She moves so quick and you never know where she's gonna go.
06:26She's unpredictable.
06:27So it's hard to defend against that.
06:30Blanchard felt Grace going for more offense there.
06:33Dropped her body weight.
06:34Very smart.
06:35Oh!
06:36Oh!
06:37Off the power bomb.
06:38Here's the cover.
06:39Oh!
06:40And a drop kick by Hudson.
06:41Saves her partner.
06:42Oh!
06:43There's Victoria Crawford trying to get involved.
06:45You can hear it.
06:46Now Crawford dumped outside.
06:47Oh!
06:48She almost got split in half on the side of the ring.
06:51Oh!
06:52Oh!
06:53Oh!
06:54Oh!
06:55Hudson and Grace now trying to deal with the two-time world champion.
07:00Oh!
07:01Woodley!
07:02Whoa!
07:03Blanchard in pursuit.
07:04There's Grace with a missile drop kick.
07:07Oh!
07:08What an opportunity!
07:09Stacking up Blanchard.
07:10Oh!
07:11And a kick out.
07:12Crawford has a hold of Hudson.
07:13Oh no.
07:14I thought that was gonna be it.
07:17Back inside the ring.
07:19Blanchard trying to grab a hold of Grace and a cover.
07:24Oh!
07:25Oh!
07:26What a super kick there by Blanchard.
07:28Your mother.
07:29Now trying to set up for it.
07:30Yes!
07:31There it is.
07:32Buzzsaw.
07:33Cover.
07:34Blanchard and Crawford win.
07:37Here are your winners.
07:41The team of Victoria Crawford and Tessa.
07:46Blanchard!
07:47Blanchard and Crawford picking up where they left off from Turning Point.
07:56Their opportunity by the Knockouts World Tag Team titles.
08:00Will they continue to make noise in the Knockouts Tag Team Division?
