00:00:06What is tested by fire is not consumed.
00:00:10It's revealed.
00:00:14Declaring the fall of a kingdom, the noise was called truth, and the silence was death.
00:00:21So it was told.
00:00:32We have refused to let the whispers write our story.
00:00:37We have erased those words and filled them with hope and our real truth.
00:00:44There's something special about TNA Wrestle.
00:00:46We are a family.
00:00:47We all look out for each other.
00:00:48We all care for each other.
00:00:50I want this power.
00:00:54Tonight, the heavens bear witness.
00:00:57This is the altar where sacrifice meets revelation.
00:01:02And the past kneels before what was always meant to be.
00:01:11The lights burn not to eliminate, but to expose every doubt, every scar, every voice that dare to deny this
00:01:22moment.
00:01:23TNA, Whiteheart right now.

00:09:22The living legends
00:09:23Set to team up with the notorious attraction
00:09:26Elijah
00:09:27Against Order 4
00:09:35Now this Saturday at Genesis
00:09:37Live on pay-per-view
00:09:38And TNA Plus
00:09:39Right here in Dallas, Texas
00:09:41Elijah
00:09:42Who you can see in the back of your screen
00:09:43On horseback
00:09:45And that's Mustafa Ali
00:09:46The leader of Order 4
00:09:48This was back at Final Resolution
00:09:50In December
00:09:51Which you can watch back anytime
00:09:52On demand
00:09:53On our streaming platform
00:09:54TNA Plus
00:09:55This rivalry went to a whole other level
00:09:59As Elijah
00:10:02Lassoed Ali
00:10:03And dragged him out of the building on horseback
00:10:05Yeah, but
00:10:05It didn't end there
00:10:07Because last week
00:10:08Elijah continued to torment
00:10:11Ali
00:10:12In Order 4
00:10:13For chasing them
00:10:14Out of the arena
00:10:15Once again
00:10:16On horseback
00:10:17An absolute travesty
00:10:19And their opponent
00:10:21Oh, wait a minute
00:10:22Ali
00:10:22Diving into the ring
00:10:24Going after Elijah
00:10:25And the Hardys
00:10:26This match is underway
00:10:27This
00:10:28Is total non-stop action
00:10:30And you can't blame
00:10:32Ali and company
00:10:34For starting this one like this
00:10:36Because of everything
00:10:38The notorious attraction
00:10:40Is thrown their way
00:10:41Oh, the horse trap
00:10:42He's thrown towards Order 4
00:10:45Led by the two-faced
00:10:47The politically savvy
00:10:48Mustafa Ali
00:10:49Order 4 believes
00:10:51Actions have consequences
00:10:53Ali is surrounding himself
00:10:55With loyal supporters
00:10:56Like Jason Hodge
00:10:57And John Schuyler
00:10:59His tag team partners
00:11:01Well, that was a consequence there
00:11:04Of what Elijah just did
00:11:06To the great hands
00:11:07And now he's got his hands
00:11:08On Mustafa Ali
00:11:10He wants Elijah
00:11:12A vagabond drifter
00:11:14Who's entertaining millions
00:11:15All over the world
00:11:18In and out of the ring
00:11:20With his guitar
00:11:21He's a heavy-hitting wrestler
00:11:23And a cunning mind at that
00:11:24And just annihilated Ali
00:11:28With that superplex
00:11:29Out go the great hands
00:11:30Courtesy
00:11:31Of the legendary parties
00:11:33The daredevils
00:11:35From Cameron, North Carolina
00:11:36Unlevel the playing field
00:11:38Order 4 has got a regroup
00:11:40Against Elijah
00:11:41Matt and Japardi
00:11:43This is TNA Thursday Night Impact Live

00:12:19Boot right to the face

00:12:28At Genesis
00:12:29Oh
00:12:30Ali went face first
00:12:31Into the buckle
00:12:32As Elijah was looking
00:12:33For a tag
00:12:34Matt and Jeff Hardy
00:12:35Were eliminated
00:12:36From the equation
00:12:37But it looks like
00:12:38Ali just got eliminated
00:12:40From this planet
00:12:42Ali on multiple occasions
00:12:44Has delayed the recovery process
00:12:46Of Elijah

00:23:56In our home
00:23:59Son McLaurin
00:24:00Is a guest of ours
00:24:03Well right now
00:24:04I want to turn
00:24:04Our attention
00:24:05To another matter
00:24:06That was pretty devastating
00:24:08This was last month
00:24:09After a steel cage matchup
00:24:11There's our director
00:24:12Of authority
00:24:12Santina Morella
00:24:13That is his own daughter
00:24:15Ariana Grace
00:24:17Who was
00:24:17Turning her back
00:24:19On her father
00:24:19With the help
00:24:20Of her fiance
00:24:21Stax from NXT
00:24:24You don't know
00:24:25What the heck
00:24:26You're going on
00:24:28You're a daughter
00:24:29I don't care
00:24:30You're nothing like him
00:24:31But you probably are
00:24:33I'm dead meat
00:24:35Broke
00:24:36Her father's heart
00:24:37And he hasn't been
00:24:38The same
00:24:39Since
00:24:53Please welcome
00:24:54The TNA
00:24:56Director of authority
00:25:21To your point
00:25:24To see his smile
00:25:26Is a rare thing
00:25:26Considering everything
00:25:27That's been
00:25:28In his personal life
00:25:29As of late
00:25:30Hello Dallas
00:25:36Is tonight
00:25:37A special night
00:25:39Or what
00:25:43Thursday night
00:25:44Impact
00:25:45On MC
00:25:46Come on
00:25:47Doesn't get bigger
00:25:48Than that
00:25:51There's going to be
00:25:52There's going to be a lot
00:25:52Of new eyes on us
00:25:54A lot of new expectations
00:25:55A lot of pressure
00:25:57But I know these guys
00:25:58Can handle it
00:25:59Because we fought tooth
00:26:00And nail to get here
00:26:02Nothing's going to stop us
00:26:03This is going to be
00:26:04The beginning of something
00:26:06Incredible
00:26:12Now as you saw in the video
00:26:14My mindset is a little bit off
00:26:17I've been distracted
00:26:18As of late
00:26:20I've been hurt
00:26:22I've been angry
00:26:23I've been confused
00:26:25When your own flesh and blood
00:26:28Looks you in the eyes
00:26:29And turns their back on you
00:26:31It's not something you can shake off
00:26:33Like the water on the duck
00:26:37It's been bothering me
00:26:38But I have decisions to make
00:26:39I have a company to run
00:26:41I've got to make the best decisions
00:26:43For the people in the back
00:26:44And for the audience
00:26:46It's not a job I take lightly
00:26:48And now that we're on MC
00:26:50I cannot afford to make a mistake
00:26:54We cannot
00:26:55So the board has decided
00:26:58That I can use a little bit of assistance
00:27:00You see
00:27:00My heart is not 100% here
00:27:03And this is not the time to drop the ball
00:27:06And at first
00:27:07When I heard the news
00:27:08I was a little bit hesitation
00:27:11But then
00:27:11When I found out who it was
00:27:13I was actually relieved
00:27:15Because this person is very professional
00:27:17They have lots of experience
00:27:19And I believe they can positively contribute
00:27:21To the overall product and the brand
00:27:24Ladies and gentlemen
00:27:25Without further ado
00:27:43Oh my god
00:27:47Well, well, well
00:27:50Look who's made her way
00:27:51Into the impact zone
00:27:56Daria Ray
00:27:58Well, you and I haven't seen her in years
00:28:01But we know just how effective
00:28:04And when she wants to be
00:28:05Just how dangerous
00:28:06Of a woman
00:28:08She can be decisive
00:28:10No doubt about it
00:28:12Daria does that
00:28:13General manager experience
00:28:16Former tag team champion
00:28:18A mixed martial artist
00:28:19And has even contributed
00:28:21As an analyst
00:28:22For Invicta FC
00:28:24The all-women's MMA promotion
00:28:27Within Anthem Sports and Entertainment
00:28:38Let me be the first to say
00:28:41Welcome
00:28:42To DNA
00:28:48Thank you
00:28:49All of you
00:28:50Thank you, Santino
00:28:52First things first
00:28:53Congratulations
00:28:54Look at this
00:28:56Look at this
00:29:01I've been watching
00:29:03From afar
00:29:04Over the years
00:29:04And
00:29:05You are one of the very pillars
00:29:07Of this company
00:29:09No, seriously
00:29:13Building this foundation
00:29:14Week in and week out
00:29:16Through the good
00:29:17The bad
00:29:17The ugly
00:29:18And somehow you
00:29:19Managed to keep a smile
00:29:21On all their faces
00:29:22Mine included
00:29:26And now here we are
00:29:28Standing in this ring
00:29:30Santino
00:29:32Santino
00:29:33Santino
00:29:35Santino
00:29:36Santino
00:29:37Santino
00:29:39Santino
00:29:39Santino
00:29:41Santino
00:29:42Santino
00:29:42Santino
00:29:43Santino
00:29:43Standing in front of
00:29:45One of the best crowds
00:29:46I've ever been in front of
00:29:47Right here
00:29:48In Dallas, Tennessee
00:29:49On the debut episode
00:29:51On our new network
00:29:56AMC
00:30:06And the irony of this is
00:30:08The one thing this company
00:30:11Does not need
00:30:14Is
00:30:17You
00:30:20No, no
00:30:21We don't need your stupid little jokes
00:30:23We don't need your little comedic relief
00:30:25We need structure
00:30:29Discipline
00:30:32Professionalism
00:30:33None of which you have the ability to give
00:30:35Do you?
00:30:37You can't even keep your own family in order
00:30:39Your own daughter doesn't respect you
00:30:41And you want that too?
00:30:43Take it easy
00:30:45Right now
00:30:45You're tossing them up
00:30:46Shut up
00:30:48I'm talking
00:30:53The facts are the facts
00:30:55I've been in this position before
00:30:57I ran locker rooms
00:30:58I dealt with the egos
00:31:00I understand television
00:31:02And most importantly
00:31:03I understand the fact that I can do your job better than you can
00:31:10So that's exactly what I plan on doing
00:31:12I'm not here for a popularity contest
00:31:14So I suggest you stay the hell out of my way
00:31:17And for you
00:31:19In case you don't already know
00:31:21My name is Daria Ray
00:31:24And I'm the suit
00:31:27So you shut up
00:31:29When I'm talking
00:31:39Wait, wait, wait, wait
00:31:40One thing I almost forgot
00:31:42I'm so sorry
00:31:43As my first official order of business
00:31:47I signed a new knockout to TNA
00:31:53Ladies and gentlemen
00:31:54Please welcome
00:32:09Oh my god
00:32:13We haven't seen Elena Black in this company since early last year

00:32:5020 years
00:32:52I've known Frankie Kazarian
00:32:55And I never thought I'd say this about a friend
00:32:58But I want you to kick his ass
00:33:02I held this company down as long as I could
00:33:05Now it's your turn
00:33:08So do what you do best
00:33:11Win
00:33:26Thanks
00:33:29Take him out
00:33:35Let's get it
00:33:40There was a time that Mike Santana was called the standard of TNA wrestling
00:33:45He captured the TNA World Championship months ago
00:33:48But Frankie Kazarian ripped it away from him
00:33:50Can Santana get back to the top of the mountain tonight?

00:47:32The TNA Knockouts
00:47:34World Championship
00:47:35They were pioneers
00:47:37Who broke barriers
00:47:39Shattered glass ceilings
00:47:41And revolutionized
00:47:43The world of professional wrestling
00:47:52I remember watching the knockouts
00:47:54Kill it every week
00:47:55And I remember thinking
00:47:56How I wanted to be
00:47:58Like them
00:47:59The TNA Knockouts
00:48:02Are an eclectic blend
00:48:04Of beauty and brawl
00:48:09I don't just want to be
00:48:11A knockout
00:48:13I want to be
00:48:14The
00:48:15Knockout
00:48:17Fearless
00:48:18Determined
00:48:19Beautifully unconventional
00:48:22Unyielding in their conviction
00:48:30Blaine Lee
00:48:31Is the new
00:48:32TNA Knockouts
00:48:34World Champion
00:48:35Is there anyone better than me?
00:48:38I don't think so
00:48:41Athletes who dare
00:48:42To cross the line
00:48:44Supernovas
00:48:45Who will forever shine
00:48:59Ladies and gentlemen
00:49:00As we prepare
00:49:01For Genesis
00:49:02Allow me to introduce
00:49:04At this time
00:49:05The TNA Knockouts
00:49:06World Champion
00:49:07Lady Lee
00:49:08Enjoy me
00:49:14The TNA Knockout
00:50:36She's committed herself to be a fighting champion and has signed a contract to an open challenge on Saturday at
00:50:47Genesis.
00:51:26Earlier tonight, we saw the team of Zarya and Sol Ruka, Sol Ruka from NXT watching during the TNA Knockouts
00:51:34World Tag Team Championship match.
00:51:36So I guess the question is now, who's taking up Langley on the Open Challenge for Genesis?
00:51:44They have their eyes on all kinds of TNA Championship gold, it seems.
00:51:50But to your point, which one of these two incredible athletes is out here to answer the Open Challenge?
00:52:06Hey, TNA!
00:52:12Now, we were originally in town to scope out the competition for the TNA Knockouts Tag Team titles.
00:52:22However, when I heard about this Open Challenge, I mean, I just could not resist.
00:52:27I mean, this is an incredible opportunity for all of women's professional wrestling.
00:52:32And I mean, it would feel pretty damn good to bring gold back home again.
00:52:39Now, I know this isn't going to be an easy competition.
00:52:43You are a warrior in every aspect.
00:52:47However, the thing about Zeruka is we've got a warrior of our own.
00:52:58Which is why Zarya should answer this Open Challenge because there is no one who is more deserving than you.
00:53:09Zarya! Zarya! Zarya! Zarya! Zarya!
00:53:38well that didn't take much convincing she has signed on the dotted line it looks like it's
00:53:45going down zarya face to face with the knockouts world champion leyingly genesis they go one on one

01:14:02right in santana's
01:14:03lines right now and i can tell you he ain't having any of it he's feeding off of it
