00:11And her tag team partner, accompanied by Channing Stax Lorenzo.
00:17She is the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Ariana Grace.
00:26We saw last week on Impact what Stax and Ariana Grace are willing to do to remove possible challengers from
00:34Grace's path.
00:36We saw how Stax laid the trap for Indy Hartwell and then Grace assaulted Hartwell backstage.
00:42All to the chagrin of the Director of Authority, her father, Santino Marella.
01:20And their opponents, the team of Lei Ying Li and Ziya Brookside.
01:26The Angel Warriors.
01:31Now, earlier on tonight, we heard from Lei Ying Li and Ziya Brookside.
01:34Li made it very clear.
01:35She wants her contractual rematch for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
01:40Well, somehow earlier this evening, Daria Ray and Santino Marella actually got on the same page, actually made a good
01:46decision.
01:47We understand that one week from tomorrow, live on TNA Plus in New Orleans,
01:52Ariana Grace will defend her TNA Knockouts World Championship against Lei Ying Li and Danny Luna in a triple threat
01:59match at Sacrifice.
02:02Ziya Brookside and Lay Ying Li, they make up the tag team known as the Angel Warriors.
02:08They had an unblemished record in two-on-two competition in 2025.
02:14Tonight, they go up against the reigning Knockouts World Champion and Doomsday Danny Luna.
02:19Here's my question to you.
02:21How do you think Luna and Grace will work together?
02:23That was my question heading into this as well.
02:26Like we said, Danny Luna has a Knockouts World Title match guaranteed to her.
02:33And that woman, her tag team partner, is the champion.
02:36I mean, how much incentive does she have to really be a good partner, if you will, other than to
02:42just destroy the other two people on the side of the other side of the ring?
02:46Let me put it this way.
02:47What would you do if you're Danny Luna?
02:49I would destroy my opponents and then I would destroy my partner.
02:54And then I would ask for my guaranteed title match ASAP.
03:00This is Danny Luna to start things off against Ziya Brookside.
03:02These two have known each other since they were teenagers coming up on the independent scene in the United Kingdom.
03:09And in late 2025, when Danny Luna began her warpath through the Knockouts Division, Ziya Brookside was a casualty.
03:17Remember, there's one night where Danny Luna put four knockouts on the BioFlex injury report.
03:23Two of them were Laying Lee and Ziya Brookside.
03:26Of course, who could forget that infamous dog collar match that she had with Indi Hartwell.
03:31You see she carries that chain continually with her now as a sign of the brutality that really rose her
03:38to the top of the division.
03:39Weeks ago, we got the matchup between Laying Lee and Danny Luna following No Surrender that was supposed to go
03:46down at Genesis.
03:47Luna was able to defeat Lee that night in the wake of Lee losing her title just nights prior at
03:53No Surrender to Ariana Grace, who cheated heavily that night in Nashville.
03:58Oh, look at that.
03:59Ooh!
04:00It took two to take down one of the best in the Knockouts Division.
04:04And for a minute there, Danny Luna was almost going to suplex two people herself.
04:09Look at the teamwork here.
04:11Oh, down goes Laying Lee courtesy of Danny Luna.
04:15Great counter work from Danny Luna.
04:19Ooh!
04:19Oh, and Brookside there to back up her tag team partner.
04:23Now Ariana Grace, the Knockouts World Champion, trying to get involved.
04:29Grace dunked to the outside.
04:31Luna trying to back up her teammate at least for a moment.
04:34Oh, some miscommunication there and the Angel Warriors strike.
04:40Can the Knockouts World Champion, Ariana Grace and Danny Luna get it together?
04:46The Angel Warriors are in command on Impact on AMC.
04:57It is a classic case of a well-oiled machine of the Angel Warriors versus an unlikely duo in Danny
05:05Luna and the Knockouts World Champion, Ariana Grace, who are trying to bark orders at Luna.
05:10And while Stax looks like a wannabe FUBU model on the outside and the fiancée of Ariana Grace.
05:16Oh, look at Danny Luna go to work on the inside.
05:19He looks like an idiot.
05:22He looks cozy at least.
05:24He's going to be sweating. We're in Atlanta.
05:27It's very true.
05:28Isaiah Brookside now taking it to the current Knockouts World Champion, who, reminder folks, doesn't technically work here.
05:36Cover, shoulders down, and a kickout. Great point.
05:39Of course, Ariana Grace from NXT as is Stax.
05:45Another case of enemies here.
05:48A little bit of enemy territory, should I say.
05:51You're absolutely right. Brookside, Lee, and Luna all have a vested interest in winning the TNA Knockouts World Championship and
05:58bringing it back to TNA.
05:59This is the cover by Lee, shoulders down, and a kickout by Grace.
06:04Grace can still afford a pinfall loss in this matchup.
06:07We know Lee has a contractual rematch, but what if Zia Brookside were to pin Ariana Grace here tonight?
06:14And all of a sudden, Zia Brookside could have a case for a title shot.
06:17Let's not forget, of course, Indy Hartwell, we mentioned, who got a big win.
06:22And Tessa Blanchard, who's made no bones about wanting a shot, claiming she's just waiting for her time that she
06:29can take it whenever she wants.
06:35Drop kick there by Lane Lee.
06:39And the Knockouts World Champion on the ropes, literally, in this situation.
06:51Laying, Laying, raining down these hammer fists, and look for Danny Luna!
06:55And Stax!
06:56Let's go!
07:00Stax has got a very punchable face.
07:04Oh, it's the glasses.
07:05No, it's the face.
07:07There's the cover by Lee, shoulders down on Grace, and a kickout.
07:13Laying, Lee, getting her hands on the woman who took the Knockouts World Title from her.
07:21Oh, double shot to the throat there by Grace, knee right to the midsection.
07:26Of course, under controversial circumstances.
07:29Ariana Grace is trying to tell Doomsday Danny Luna what to do.
07:32He said, get your knee up, and Luna was not going to listen to the champion.
07:36Oh!
07:37Again, other than maybe doing a little bit better in this match, she doesn't have incentive to help the woman.
07:43She wants to beat for that Knockouts World Title.
07:47Tag made on top of that.
07:49Danny Luna doesn't listen to other people.
07:53Last year, she decided she was in it for herself.
07:56Does not play nice with others.
07:58That is for certain.
08:00Oh, and a big shot there to Laying Lee.
08:03Stacks consoling his fiancée on the outside of the ring.
08:08Getting so much needed breathing room here as Danny Luna looks to pick apart the former Knockouts World Champion, Laying
08:16Lee.
08:16You're a champ!
08:22Luna taking her time here, dissecting Lee.
08:26Danny Luna is someone who, for so much.
08:29Govr.
08:29Put to the leg.
08:30On Laying and a kickout.
08:32So much of her career felt like she played second fiddle to different people.
08:37Part of the tag team Spitfire, while they had success, she never got to stand out on her own.
08:42Now is her chance.
08:50Luna continues to control the pace here in this knockouts tag team matchup.
08:58And we are back here in Atlanta, Georgia.
09:01This is TNA Thursday night impact on AMC.
09:05The Angel Warriors, Zion Brookside and Leying Lee up against Daniel Luna
09:09and the reigning knockouts world champion Ariana Grace.
09:12Incredible counter there from the former champion Leying Lee.
09:17Grabbing right into that single leg crab.
09:20There's the champion Grace to separate Lee from her tag team partner Danny Luna.
09:26And now doomsday all over the former knockouts world champion Leying Lee.
09:34Luna looking to her tag team partner, her unlikely partner again.
09:38Not a whole lot of love loss on that side of the ring.
09:42It's been a tenuous relationship to say the least.
09:45Still to come this evening here on impact on AMC.
09:48There will be more knockouts action as Jada Stone will go one on one with Elena Black.
09:53Look at her row up here from Leying Lee.
09:56And kick out by Grace.
09:57Meanwhile Moose looks to continue his path of destruction.
10:00He's trying to pick apart the system one by one.
10:03He took out Cedric Alexander last week.
10:06He faces Brian Myers tonight.
10:07And here's another cover from Grace.
10:10And no Leying Lee stays in at all.
10:12Meanwhile a critical matchup in the tag team division.
10:16Two teams trying to separate themselves.
10:18Perhaps in the hunt for a future TNA World Tag Team Championship shot.
10:22The Nemeth brothers collide with the Righteous.
10:25And also before they clash for the TNA World Championship at Sacrifice.
10:31One week from tomorrow Friday March 27th.
10:34Live on TNA Plus in New Orleans.
10:36The TNA World Champion Mike Santana has invited Steve Macklin to an offsite face to face.
10:45Remember there's a no contact clause between Santana and Macklin.
10:51Right now Leying Lee desperately needs a tag to Zia Brookside.
10:56Tag.
10:57Luna in now.
11:00And great tag team work.
11:02They're just in the nick of time.
11:03Pulling Leying Lee across the ring.
11:06Luna is legal.
11:08Luna sent into the corner.
11:10Grace makes a tag.
11:11Leying Lee is trying to get to the corner.
11:13Trying to get to Zia Brookside.
11:15Oh no.
11:15Things could be breaking down.
11:17Brookside's made a tag.
11:18I don't think they're aware.
11:19Luna and Grace cannot get on the same page.
11:23And there's not a really big shock there as Brookside picks up the pace of this matchup.
11:29Zia Brookside gets two for one.
11:34Tremendous action tonight here in Atlanta.
11:36Get your tickets now for upcoming events in New Orleans, Louisiana, Cleveland, Ohio, and Syracuse, New York via TNAWrestling.com.
11:46Zia Brookside fighting two-on-one right now.
11:50Taking it to the Knockouts World Champion.
11:54Now look at the strength of Brookside.
11:56Oh!
11:56Samoan drop.
11:58Here's the cover.
12:00And Luna separates these two the hard way.
12:05Look it out.
12:06Everything's starting to break down here.
12:08Oh!
12:08DDT there by Leying Lee.
12:10Look at Grace flying through with an uppercut.
12:14Can Brookside retake control?
12:18Double knees there by Grace.
12:20Here's the cover by the champion Brookside standing.
12:27And now Ariana Grace trying to line up Zia Brookside here.
12:35Maybe ready to take a risk.
12:37No!
12:38Luna tagged herself in.
12:40Watch this!
12:41Show me!
12:42I'll show you!
12:44Danny Luna saying, show me.
12:46You're going to go up top.
12:47Show me what you can do.
12:48Oh!
12:49Luna just shoved the champion off the top, Turnbuckle!
12:53I can't blame her.
12:54That's her competition.
12:56But back into the ring here.
12:59Luna tagged herself in.
13:01Luna's legal.
13:02Hold on.
13:03Lee Lee connects.
13:07And now, a little bit of tag team work from the Angel Warriors.
13:12Two on one opportunity.
13:15Stacks and Oriana on the outside.
13:17Wait, Lee!
13:18Oriana, hold on.
13:19Grab it a hold of.
13:20Laying Lee!
13:23She stopped it.
13:23Might have broken a nail!
13:26Stacks was busy having a hissy fit.
13:28Lee took out Stacks.
13:31Back inside the ring.
13:32Brookside.
13:33One on one with Luna.
13:35Cut!
13:35On the cross body!
13:37Ooh!
13:38Just like that!
13:40Doomsday!
13:41Danny Luna scores the win!
13:44Here are your winners!
13:46The team of Danny Luna and the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Oriana!
13:53Grace!
13:55Well, Danny Luna with an emphatic win here on Impact.
14:00And not only that, sends a message ahead of the triple threat match between
14:04Ariana Grace, Laying Lee, and Danny Luna for the Knockouts World Title
14:10that will go down at Sacrifice.
