00:00The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:10Introducing first, the company by Reba Moore and Victoria Puyofford.
00:16From Charlotte, North Carolina, the undeniable diamond,
00:22Tessa Blanchard.
00:27Tonight, Tessa Blanchard makes her AMC debut.
00:31She is a two-time world champion here in TNA Wrestling.
00:35A former Knockouts World Champion, but also a barrier-breaking winner.
00:41She captured the men's, the TNA World Championship, years ago,
00:46shattering the glass ceiling, but in the process since her return here
00:50to TNA Wrestling over the last year.
00:52Plus, she has disrespected every member of the women's locker room.
00:56And her opponent, from Trophy Club Texas, Rachel Ray.
01:05Well, when you're just that good, Tom, as Tessa Blanchard is between those ropes,
01:10you kind of find it hard not to see yourself ahead above the pack.
01:15In addition to those accolades, you listed she's a multi-time champion around the world,
01:19especially in the wrestling hotbed of Mexico.
01:23She is worldwide and battle-tested.
01:28So here we go. You can see that smile across the face of Tessa Blanchard,
01:32ready to lock up with Rachel Lay.
01:34And that smile, that look on Tessa Blanchard's face.
01:38Again, it's that disrespect that we've seen from Tessa Blanchard time and time again,
01:42underestimating her opponents and completely overvaluing herself.
01:47I mean, I don't know if she's overvalued. You may not like her attitude,
01:51but everything we just listed over the last three minutes gave her a lot of value in this business.
01:57The daughter of the Hall of Famer, Tully Blanchard of the four horsemen known around the world in professional wrestling.
02:05Ever since returning here to TNA.
02:07Tessa Blanchard has made it very clear she will go after the Knockouts World Championship.
02:12Oh! When she chooses.
02:15Finding her time for the right moment, perhaps waiting to strike.
02:19She's taking in some company, of course.
02:22As you mentioned, Victoria Crawford taking Mila Moore, a new knockout here.
02:26And TNA under her wing, as it were.
02:31Referee, Alice Layne, checking on Lay.
02:34Tessa Blanchard was pushing the barriers there.
02:37Has got to be aware of the referee's five counter,
02:39or else she could have been disqualified.
02:41Now, sending Lay into the turnbuckles.
02:45Rachel Lay proving herself to be a hell of an athlete in the early goings,
02:49but so far, this has been all Blanchard.
02:53And I don't see that slowing down anytime soon.
02:56There's a few weeks ago on the countdown to Genesis, which you can relive anytime on demand on our streaming platform.
03:02TNA plus Tessa Blanchard and Mila Moore, who's here at ringside, were able to defeat the team of Indy Hartwell and Vicious Vicky.
03:10Trap kick right between the shoulder blades.
03:15Here's the cover.
03:16Forearm in the face.
03:17Some of the nastiness of Tessa Blanchard.
03:19The match continues.
03:21You may not like the attitude of Tessa Blanchard, but quite frankly, she doesn't care.
03:27I love it.
03:28I love the bravado, the confidence.
03:32You call it arrogance, fine.
03:34Whatever it is, it leads her to a hell of a lot of success.
03:37But it has certainly rubbed a lot of other knockouts the wrong way here in TNA Wrestling.
03:43Face first into the top turnbuckle.
03:50Blanchard believes that she is the best that the TNA knockouts division has to offer.
03:58And it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll, Tom.
04:02And sometimes you've got to lose some people along the way.
04:05I don't think Tessa Blanchard gives a damn about who she tosses to the side, who gets in her way, and who ends up under her boot.
04:20Now Blanchard sending Leigh into the corner.
04:22Oh, a back elbow there.
04:24That staggered Blanchard.
04:25Kick right to the face.
04:27Hold on a second.
04:28There's a hell of a rally here from Rachel Leigh.
04:31Look out.
04:32Oh, wait a minute.
04:33And Blanchard felt that moonsault coming and simply got out of the way.
04:37Sometimes it don't take much.
04:39It don't got to be fancy.
04:41And here we go.
04:43Tessa Blanchard, she calls this buzzsaw.
04:47Cover.
04:48Tessa Blanchard is victorious in her AMC debut.
04:54Here is your winner, Tessa Blanchard.
05:02Tessa Blanchard doing exactly what she does best.
05:06Stepping between those ropes and getting business done.
05:09Take a look back here at the conclusion of this matchup.
05:11Just when Leigh thought she had an opening.
05:13She went for this moonsault.
05:14Blanchard casually stepping out of the way and then moments later hitting buzzsaw of this DDT.
05:21Tessa Blanchard your winner tonight in Albuquerque.
05:27And sending a message to the rest of the knockouts division once again.
05:33Forever.
05:34Forever.
05:35Tessa Blanchard is the undeniable diamond.
05:38Is she on an undeniable path to championship gold here once again in TNA?
