00:00I thought Mike Santana put Stone's light out last night on Impact.
00:05Oh, look, he has the best physical therapist money can buy.
00:09And these crew, this crew right here have been calling themselves the Diamond Collective
00:14because they shine so, so bright and you see why.
00:18Having flashbacks to the Sheriff Stone era.
00:22Oh, I love it.
00:23A nightmare.
00:30And their opponents, the team of Cassie Lee and Jesse McKay.
00:36They are the TNA Knockouts World's Tag Team Champions.
00:44The Inspiration.
00:48From a nightmare to a dream come true.
00:52Seeing the inspiration any time in a TNA ring.
00:55Ray won't shut up.
00:56Ash, what do you think about the inspiration?
00:58Very familiar with them.
01:00And they have come such a long way.
01:03It's amazing to watch them grow, become mothers, and amazing female wrestlers.
01:09I was going to say, look, we came out here.
01:11We had Blanchard and Crawford and Stone, the most star-studded, beautiful, mariachi-inspired crew out here.
01:18To the most annoying mariachis out here with the inspiration.
01:22They're mean to me.
01:24Hey, boys, if you were here when they came out, they wouldn't do it because I think they're scared of you.
01:27But they bully me every time.
01:30They're so mean.
01:31They might just love you.
01:33Maybe.
01:33Maybe they're crushing me.
01:34It could be tough love as well.
01:36Yes.
01:37Yeah, I get that.
01:37Maybe you should try to be nice to them.
01:39That's a great idea.
01:41Have you thought about doing that to everybody in your life?
01:43My handsomeness is intimidating.
01:45Oh, my God.
01:45Do you remember that?
01:47Anyway, let's focus on this.
01:49We could have new tag team champions in the knockouts division.
01:52What do you think about that possibility?
01:55I mean, I know Victoria and Tessa definitely want those titles around their waist.
02:00They look like stars, but I definitely think Jess and Cass, it's going to be a tough one.
02:09Let's see what we're in for.
02:11Ash, you know what it means to hold the knockouts world championship, of course, and you were a dual champion.
02:18You held the knockouts world tag team title at the exact same time.
02:22That's right.
02:22And I never lost still.
02:24Yes.
02:24That's true.
02:24That's very true.
02:26Always an asterisk in every title reign from here until the end of eternity.
02:30Thanks to you in part, Ash, the elegance brand went on to hold the knockouts world tag team titles for a record setting.
02:38202 days.
02:39That's the longest female-only knockouts world tag team title reign in history.
02:45Yes.
02:45I am very proud of the female locker room here at TNA, and they're about to put on a show.
02:52Here we go.
02:53So this is Cassie Lee, I believe, to start things off against Victoria Crawford.
02:58Inspiration very much welcomed here at El Paso.
03:00Meanwhile, Ray, well, you were met at the airport with pitchforks.
03:03Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:04Who told you that?
03:05That's AI.
03:06That was AI generated that photo that came around.
03:08Either way, right now, Victoria Crawford rocked horns intensely.
03:14Tag made Tessa Blanchard is legal.
03:16Ash, I have to get your thoughts on AMC being the new home of TNA Thursday night impact.
03:22Starting January 15th.
03:24This is an absolute amazing opportunity for everyone across the board.
03:29I mean, we had a great 2025.
03:32I cannot wait to see what 2026 brings, especially with being on AMC.
03:38Tag made.
03:38I was going to just ask you the same kind of question exactly.
03:43What do you expect to see from this knockouts division that's grown so much, much under your tutelage, I might say, over the last year?
03:50What do you expect to see from them in 2026 on this new platform, on this new stage?
03:55These women are hungry, extremely hungry.
03:58I mean, and they have a brand new platform to be seen, to be heard all across the world.
04:03I'm definitely excited.
04:05I feel like Lee has done everything I would have done with the title.
04:11Wow.
04:13Isn't that iconic?
04:15That inspirational Ash.
04:18Infuriating.
04:19There goes Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford.
04:22What is this Robert Stone guy doing out here?
04:26That's a great question.
04:27He's managing and watching the backs of his friends, his best friends.
04:31He's stealing money actively.
04:33Oh, look out.
04:34Oh, and the inspiration, Tessa Blanchard and Crawford.
04:37Taking flight, trying to take down the competition here.
04:40He's trying to give them some tips.
04:44Well, you remember the era of Sheriff Stone, right, Ash?
04:47Yes.
04:48I thought you were going to bring up my personal contact.
04:50Oh, and now Stone.
04:52Stone tripping up on half of the inspiration.
04:55The referee trying to get control of this matchup.
04:59And Tessa Blanchard more than happy to take advantage.
05:04Well, and to your point, Ash, they're Heather and Em, plus the personal concierge, the elegance brand.
05:10Yes, they don't even know I'm out here.
05:12Really?
05:13No, absolutely not.
05:14I just wanted to come out here and give my new role a try.
05:17Obviously, they're aware now, so you didn't tell them you were coming out here to get on comedy.
05:22Are you ready for this match?
05:23No.
05:24Like I said before, TNA is my home, and I've been blessed with this opportunity.
05:29I didn't run it by them, but I'm very excited to be here.
05:34Well, I mean, I guess it makes sense.
05:36I mean, given everything that's happening with you, they have to learn to kind of fly on their own, so to speak.
05:42Yeah, spread their wings and fly a bit.
05:45For sure.
05:45Absolutely.
05:45And no doubt, and they are a knockout tag team.
05:48They've got their eyes close on whoever will win this matchup, whoever's going to walk out of El Paso with that goal.
05:54I will say this, and I'll put it out there.
05:55I would love to see my personal concierge versus Robert Stone.
05:59Oh, oh, I would love to see that.
06:02That would be great, Ash.
06:03Yes, please.
06:03I would be so tired.
06:04My heart would be split in two.
06:06I would hope it's, you know, a death match of some kind, a lot of barbed wire.
06:09Oh, barbed wire massacre.
06:10Oh, that would be great.
06:11That would be great.
06:12You're a bad human being.
06:15Right now, bad things are happening to Jesse McKay here.
06:21It's definitely two against one right now.
06:23Oh, yeah, time's been three against two.
06:25Victoria Crawford here is coming with a little extra gusto, a little extra stank on a lot of these strikes.
06:31It's been great tag team work.
06:33It really has been.
06:34Keeping Jesse McKay here isolated, working on that leg.
06:39Tessa and Victoria haven't tagged too much, but their chemistry is looking great right now.
06:43We know how strong of a personal relationship they have outside the ring.
06:47Now trying to turn that into professional success within the ring.
06:52A referee.
06:53Yeah.
06:54Trying to get plans to their mind.
06:56And now Crawford going after that left knee behind the referee's back.
06:59The ref needs to get this under control.
07:01Any extra damage you can get in.
07:04Every little bit counts, especially when gold is on the line.
07:08Of course.
07:10Tessa Blanchard trying to win her first championship.
07:13There you go.
07:13There you go.
07:14There you go.
07:14TNA about a year ago.
07:16Exposing the knee, even more damage, bone on bone with that fist.
07:22Wearing and tearing.
07:23Saw how last night on impact rate, well, Mila Moore at the side of Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford.
07:30Never know where Moore could potentially be, but at the same time, it looked like Blanchard and Crawford took a liking to what Moore did alongside Crawford at Turning Point.
07:39And Mila Moore, you know, another, again, great addition to the knockouts division.
07:43Wouldn't you agree, Ash?
07:44Yes.
07:44We've seen some great additions of this year.
07:46Very amazing additions to the new roster heading into 2026.
07:51I'm very excited.
07:52Like I said, it's awesome to see how hungry these women are.
07:56Reminder, TNA Thursday night impact.
07:57Oh, it's making a hunger.
07:58God dang.
08:00Taking a bite there.
08:01I was going to say, TNA Thursday night impact on AMC starts January 15th live that evening in Dallas, Texas from 9 p.m. Eastern to 11 p.m. Eastern.
08:13Blanchard now.
08:14You talk about it, Ash.
08:16Ripping and tearing.
08:18That knee is in a bad way for Jessie McKay here.
08:22Desperately needs the tag.
08:23She needs cast.
08:25Jessie McKay backing up Blanchard into the corner.
08:28Here we go.
08:28Let's see if she can make it.
08:29Immediately collapses, though.
08:31Again, the damage to that leg is a lot.
08:34I mean, Ash, how do you can't carry on with an injury like that in the ring?
08:38Oh, wait a minute.
08:39There goes Blanchard.
08:40She knows the titles are on the line right now.
08:43She's got to get to her partner.
08:45Oh, Blanchard went for the elbow drop and missed.
08:48Jessie trying to stay alive.
08:51Using the top rope.
08:53By hooker, by crook.
08:54She's finding a way.
08:56Oh, Crawford and Blanchard.
08:59That was close.
09:00There's only a misfire.
09:00Oh, here we go.
09:01On a tag made.
09:03Cassie Lee is legal.
09:05Will it be enough to equalize it?
09:07Boom.
09:08Cassie Lee.
09:09Victoria down.
09:10Tessa down.
09:12Firing up on all cylinders.
09:16Cassie Lee completely turning this matchup around for the inspiration.
09:24Boom.
09:24Hat breaker there by Cassie Lee.
09:28And now Blanchard.
09:30Oh, kicked right in the side of the head.
09:32Double knees.
09:34Could this be it?
09:35To retain the titles here in El Paso and a kick out.
09:39At two.
09:41Can't count now.
09:42Blanchard, one of the most well-traveled, experienced wrestlers on this entire roster.
09:46Like her or not.
09:47I just don't trust this guy.
09:51Robert Stone.
09:52There's something about him.
09:53I just don't know.
09:54I agree.
09:55No, no, no.
09:56Look, you just got to get to know him.
09:58To, you know, to tan with him is to know him, as I say with Robert Stone.
10:03Hold on.
10:03Here we go.
10:04Oh, roll through.
10:05Blanchard was going for buzzsaw.
10:07Cassie Lee able to evade.
10:09There was a tag.
10:10Tag was made.
10:11You're right.
10:12I don't think Tessa saw the tag.
10:13I think you're right, Ash.
10:14I don't think she's aware.
10:15But, ooh.
10:16Oh, and look at Jussie protecting Cassie.
10:19Oh, that knee.
10:20That knee is still banged up a bit.
10:22Still paying for it.
10:23But, great teamwork here.
10:24I know what they're going for.
10:25Hold on.
10:25Is it time for the idolizer?
10:27No.
10:29Great counter there from Blanchard.
10:31And now.
10:31See, this guy's coming around for something.
10:33I knew it.
10:34I knew he cannot be trying.
10:35Oh, wait a minute.
10:35Robert Stone handing one of the title belts to Blanchard.
10:40Blanchard doesn't want to get this.
10:41Oh, the kick to the face by Jussie.
10:47Jussie, that left leg is in bad shape.
10:49The ref really needs to get this guy out of here.
10:51Wait a minute.
10:52Oh.
10:52Robert with a title belt.
10:53But gets kicked right in the face by Cassie.
10:56And there's a tag.
10:58And the elegance brand.
11:00Oh, wait.
11:01Ash, what is this?
11:02I did not tell them to come out here.
11:03I am no.
11:05The brand who lost the title to the inspiration months ago.
11:08Now the idolizer.
11:10What?
11:10It's chaos.
11:11One, two, three.
11:13The inspiration withstand the chaos.
11:18Here are your winners.
11:20It's still the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions.
11:26The inspiration.
11:27We knew the elegance brand still had their eyes on the title.
11:35I mean, let me make this clear.
11:37I did not tell them to come out here.
11:38I did not tell them to come out here.
11:40I promise you that.
11:41Right now, TNA President Carlos Silva awarding the title belt back to the champions.
11:47Jesse McKay and Cassie Lee.
11:48The inspiration.
11:49Let's take a look back at the conclusion of this match.
11:53Victoria Crawford.
11:54Victoria Crawford tried to take a swing with that belt, but caught a kick as you said, Tom.
11:59And then, bam, the idolizer absolutely destroying Victoria Crawford, securing the one, two, three.
12:08Ash, thank you so much for joining us, and it's a thrill to have you as a continued member of the TNA family.
12:13Thank you so much for having me.
12:15Another big win for the inspiration here at Final Resolution.
