00:12We saw at Sacrifice last weekend how Ariana Grace
00:17restood the chaos of a triple threat matchup
00:21against Doomsday Danny Luda
00:23and the former Knockouts World Champion
00:26Lei Ying Li
00:27and as we've learned Lei Ying Li will be challenging whomever
00:31is the Knockouts World Champion Cup Rebellion
00:34Two very different matches potentially await Lei Ying Li
00:38One against a friend, a best friend, a tag team partner in Zaya Broadside
00:43or one against one of the most opportunistic champions we've ever seen
00:49The following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:53and is for the TNA Knockouts World Championship
01:01Introducing first the challenger accompanied by Lei Ying Li
01:06from Liverpool, England
01:10Zaya Broadside
01:20And her opponent, accompanied by Channing Stax Lorenzo
01:26From Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
01:29She is the TNA Knockouts World Champion
01:37Arianna Grace
01:46Arianna has been the disgrace of the prestigious lineage of the TNA Knockouts World Championship
01:54We've seen the return recently of the TNA Hall of Famer Mickey James
01:58the likes of Taryn Terrell and ODB
02:01all former TNA Knockouts World Champions
02:04they have to be disgusted
02:05with the way that Arianna Grace has conducted herself as champion
02:10Well, Arianna Grace has taken a lot of methods, a lot of paths
02:13to victory that you can all poo poo from your ivory towers
02:18Hold on, hold on, hold on Grace trying to put this away early, smart strategy
02:22but all Arianna Grace did is played the system in front of her
02:26which quite frankly was her own father and used it to her advantage
02:31and it worked like a charm which is kind of what Daria Ray's whole point about Santino
02:36Morella has been all along
02:38I understand the point that you're raising that Daria is raising and yes
02:42Santino Morella has made a lot of emotional decisions
02:45but we wouldn't have had the stellar tag team match
02:47Oh wait, hold on, hold on, cover, Brooks
02:49I got a two count on the champion
02:51Will we have had the eight-man tag team matchup that we saw light up the impact zone
02:55earlier on tonight without Santino listening to the fans
02:58giving the people what they wanted
03:00No, I mean it was and it was absolutely incredible
03:02but it also put a lot of huge main events of rebellion at jeopardy too just weeks away
03:08so I don't know there's give and take in a lot of these things
03:12I think people had a lot of fun watching that match so
03:14I did too
03:16You're poo-pooing
03:16Oh, I poo-poo you
03:18Let's focus on what's happening here
03:20an incredible opportunity for both Ariana Grace and Taya Brookside
03:24for the first time in the history of TNA on AMC
03:28the knockouts are the main event of Impact
03:32I mean it makes sense we talk about it all the time the illustrious history
03:36you mentioned a little bit of it before of the knockouts division in women's
03:40in women's wrestling as a whole
03:43it is only appropriate that they take this stage
03:49Ariana Grace yeah getting some space here
03:53checking in with her fiancee Stax the knockouts world championship is on the line in our main event
03:59give me that title right now we're not doing this tonight
04:04Stax and Ariana Grace out here with TNA president carlos silva
04:09Stax has been trying to provoke carlos silva for a few weeks now and he better be careful
04:14wait a minute
04:15Zaya Brookside taking a shot at grace
04:19Ariana Grace not paying attention enough to the match
04:22paying attention to what's going on with her fiancee at ringside
04:29the last seven grace into the ropes brookside went for a drop kick there grace held onto the ropes and
04:35connects with a clothesline
04:38let's not take anything away from ariana grace
04:42she may be
04:43a very product of nepotism she used that nepotism to get where she is but she is a fighter
04:51she is dug down deep and raised her game in my opinion a lot over the last year or so
04:58i believe ariana grace manipulated her father to get to the knockouts world title back at no surrender in
05:05february i don't think she really thought about the aftermath there's the cover and a kick out by brookside
05:11you don't have to believe it she did she admitted to doing it she was proud of doing it because
05:18she knew
05:18exactly what would work and it did and i'm never going to blame anyone for doing exactly what's going
05:25to work a means to an end call it what you will grace big shot to ziya brookside
05:35our referee alice lane overseeing this matchup did a tremendous job in the main event of sacrifice this past weekend
05:46right now both these second generation competitors
05:54deep in the heat of this matchup and ariana grace
05:58is feeling very confident as it stacks
06:05right to the back of the net driving brookside's throat into the ropes
06:12grace going to have a reach advantage going to have a strength advantage
06:17over brookside brookside though forever resilient it's one of the things we've learned
06:21about her over the past two years
06:25well now the fisherman's neck breaker here's the cover
06:30look to the leg trying to retain the title brookside stays in it
06:37this is now where brookside has to dig down deep she's got to find those openings she's got to dig

06:56brookside trying to get back up to her feet we've had a tremendous crowd tonight here in new orleans
