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 Wrestling.
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 illuminate, but to expose every doubt, every scar, every voice that dare to deny this
00:01:22moment.
00:01:23TNA, White House right now.
00:01:25This is it!
00:01:26This is it!
00:01:27As it gets!
00:01:28I'm right where I belong, leading this company into the next era.
00:01:43This was written before the first bell.
00:01:46Carved before the first fall.
00:01:49A path traced through fire.
00:01:52Failure and fate that could only lead here.

00:06:38TNA Wrestling and AMC have planted their flags at the Curtis Colwell Center in Dallas, Texas.
00:06:45This is the biggest night in TNA history.
00:06:48For over 23 years, this has been the home of total nonstop action.
00:07:02Hello, I am Elijah.
00:07:06It is TNA on AMC, and I have one question for everybody here tonight.
00:07:16Who wants to walk with Elijah?
00:07:29Welcome to the premiere of TNA Thursday Night Impact, live on AMC.
00:07:46And what an absolutely raucous wave to kick everything off on the AMC era.
00:07:54The Gene Gun Kelly's guitarist, the guitar slayer, Justin Lyons, performing for the Hardys, plus TNA star BDE and social
00:08:03media influencer J2 Chris.
00:08:06You're streaming this right now live all over social media.
00:08:10Welcome to Ringside.
00:08:11He's the draw that came out through Railroad.
00:08:13That is Matt Hardy.
00:08:15I'm Tom Hanneman.
00:08:16Welcome to the Impact Zone.
00:08:18What an absolutely electric atmosphere here in Dallas, Texas, for the first night of Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
00:08:26There is so much going down tonight in Dallas in our main event.
00:08:30The conniving TNA World Champion, Frank E.
00:08:32He's hearing books and defend against the battle-tested Mike Santana.
00:08:36TNA Hall of Famer, Bully Ray, joined us on commentary.
00:08:39But that's not the only title on the line, as the Knockouts World Tag Team title will be defended.
00:08:45The inspiration to defend against the elegant friend.
00:08:49And also, we'll hear from our franchise players, TNA's Dynasty.
00:08:54The system is live on AMC tonight.
00:08:58Following is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one call.
00:09:02Introducing first, the team of Eliza and the TNA World Tag Team Champions.
00:09:11He is Matt and Jeff, the Hardys.
00:09:21The Hardys, the living legends, set to team up with the notorious attraction, Eliza, against Order 4.
00:09:35Now, this Saturday at Genesis Live, a pay-per-view at TNA Plus, right here in Dallas, Texas.
00:09:41Eliza, who you can see in the back of your screen on horseback.
00:09:45And that's Mustafa Ali, the leader of Order 4.
00:09:48This was back at Final Resolution in December, which you can watch back anytime on demand on our streaming platform,
00:09:55TNA Plus.
00:09:55This rivalry went to a whole other level as Eliza lassoed Ali and dragged him out of the building on
00:10:04horseback.
00:10:05Yeah, but it didn't end there because last week, Eliza continued to torment Ali in order for chasing them out
00:10:14of the arena once again on horseback.
00:10:17An absolute travesty.
00:10:20Oh, wait a minute, Ali diving into the ring, going after Elijah and the Hardys.
00:10:26This match is underway.
00:10:28This is total non-stop action.
00:10:31And you can't blame Ali and company for starting this one like this.
00:10:37Because of everything, the notorious attraction has thrown their way.
00:10:41Oh, the horse trap he's thrown towards Order 4.
00:10:46Led by the two-faced and politically savvy, Mustafa Ali.
00:10:50Order 4 believes actions have consequences.
00:10:53Ali is surrounding himself with loyal supporters like Jason Hodge and John Schuyler, his tag team partners.
00:11:02Well, that was a consequence there of what Elijah just did to the great hands.
00:11:07And now he's got his hands on Mustafa Ali.
00:11:11Meanwhile, Elijah, a vagabond thrifter who's entertaining millions all over the world.
00:11:18In and out of the ring with his guitar.
00:11:21He's a heavy-hitting wrestler and a cunning mind at that.
00:11:24And just annihilated Ali with that superplex.
00:11:29Out go the great hands, courtesy of the legendary Hardys.
00:11:34The daredevils from Cameron, North Carolina.
00:11:37Unlevel the playing field.
00:11:39Order 4 has got a regroup against Elijah, Matt, and Jephardy.
00:11:43This is TNA Thursday Night Impact live on AMC.
00:11:48TNA Thursday Night Impact live on AMC.
00:11:51And we are back here on TNA Thursday Night Impact live on AMC in Dallas, Texas.
00:11:58This is our opening contest.
00:11:59The legendary Hardys, the TNA World Tag Team Champions, teaming up with Elijah to take on Order 4 tonight at
00:12:07the Curtis Colwell Center.
00:12:09And Order 4, as they always do, using the numbers game to their advantage.
00:12:14They are a unit.
00:12:16They are a team.
00:12:17They are an army and a force to be reckoned with.
00:12:19Moved right to the face there by Elijah.
00:12:21It's one-on-one with Mustafa Ali of Order 4 this Saturday right here in Dallas.
00:12:27Live on pay-per-view with TNA Plus and Genesis.
00:12:30Oh, Ali went face first into the buckle as Elijah was looking for a tag.
00:12:35Matt and Jephardy were eliminated from the equation.
00:12:37But it looks like Ali just got eliminated from this planet.
00:12:42Ali, on multiple occasions, has delayed the recovery process of Elijah.
00:12:47That's where we're going one-on-one at Genesis.
00:12:50Well, the stars are out tonight at ringside.
00:12:52We have Kyla Gordon and Zahn McLaurin from the hit thriller Dark Wins.
00:12:57They're special agent zero.
00:12:59Dark Wins returns for fourth season Sunday, February 15th on AMC and AMC+.
00:13:04And also, R.J. Kyler, star of the upcoming vampire thriller Night Patrol, alongside CM Punk, Justin Long, and Freddie
00:13:12Gibbs.
00:13:12Catch R.J. Kyler.
00:13:13Night Patrol is in theaters nationwide tomorrow.
00:13:17Right now, the star of this magic is the charismatic enigma who's turned this thing on its head.
00:13:23A twist of fate by Jeff Hardy.
00:13:26Oh, there's Tasha Steeles of Order 4.
00:13:31The manipulative, the mastermind, Tasha Steeles.
00:13:35Oh, no!
00:13:36Uh-oh.
00:13:36The leader of Order 4, Mustafa Ali, inappropriately under Steeles.
00:13:41Don't you do this!
00:13:42On a double twist of fate!
00:13:45How dare you!
00:13:47Splash by Hardy.
00:13:48Trying to put this thing away.
00:13:50Skyler and Hodge of Order 4 break up the pinfall.
00:13:53Oh, just in the nick of time.
00:13:57Using the Hardys almost as weapons to break that pinfall up.
00:14:01And now Order 4 got to recoup.
00:14:04A tag's been made.
00:14:06Legal into the matches.
00:14:07John Skyler, we mentioned it.
00:14:09Mustafa Ali of Order 4 and Elijah will go one-on-one this Saturday at Genesis.
00:14:13Live on Pay-Per-View and TNA Plus right here in Dallas.
00:14:16And that same night, the Hardys must defend their TNA World Tag Team titles against the creepy Vincent and Dutch
00:14:24known as the Righteous.
00:14:26The cult-like duo have had their sights set on the legendary Hardys.
00:14:31As Elijah now looks to turn this match back in his and the Hardys' favor.
00:14:37Being striked there by Elijah.
00:14:38His first match in over six months.
00:14:41And a twist of fate there by Matt Hardy.
00:14:44Look to the skies though.
00:14:46There's Jeff Hardy!
00:14:49Spontombomb!
00:14:49The Hardys and Elijah beat Order 4!
00:14:55Here are your winners!
00:14:58The team of Elijah and the TNA World Tag Team Champions!
00:15:05Matt and Jeff!
00:15:08The Hardys!
00:15:10Oh, the first victory of the AMC era goes to the Goats, the Legends, the Hardys, and Elijah.
00:15:19But wait!
00:15:19Oh, hold on a second.
00:15:20Special Agent Zero Order 4 annihilates Elijah.
00:15:25And now the Hardys!
00:15:28That right there is the weapon of mass destruction.
00:15:33Wait!
00:15:34Hold on a second.
00:15:35Let's fix it in touch of the Righteous, the Hardys' opponents this Saturday at Genesis.
00:15:41They're backing off Agent Zero in Order 4.
00:15:44Ali was calling off Agent Zero.
00:15:49Oh, the Righteous.
00:15:51Again, who have said that they admire, they even love the Hardys.
00:15:55Look up to them.
00:15:58Despite their actions.
00:16:03Oh, wait!
00:16:04Oh, my God!
00:16:05Jeff walks by Dutch!
00:16:10And now the intention more than clear from the Righteous!
00:16:16This is about more than a Tag Team Championship at Genesis.
00:16:21The Righteous want to destroy the Hardys and take their essence.
00:16:27The plan coming truly to fruition here.
00:16:30What is Vincent doing?
00:16:32Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:16:33Oh, dear God, no!
00:16:34Oh, my God!
00:16:35Vincent driving the lock through the gauge opening in the ear of Jeff Hardy!
00:16:42And look at Dutch.
00:16:45Has Matt Hardy prone there?
00:16:47Jeff Hardy's restrained by that chain in the lock in his ear!
00:16:53Oh, and a small time bomb right from Jeff's face to his own brother, Matt!
00:17:01Man!
00:17:04This is going to hurt me more than it's going to hurt you.
00:17:11At Genesis, the Righteous will become new TNA World Tag Team Champions, man.
00:17:30A message clear as day.
00:17:35Will we have new World Tag Team Champions at Genesis?
00:17:41Well, still to come tonight in our main event, it is a milestone matchup for the TNA World Championship.
00:17:49Our broadcast colleague, Gia Miller, has more.
00:17:54Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, your TNA Wrestling World Champion, Frankie Kazarian.
00:18:01Frankie, in tonight's main event, you put the TNA World title on the line against Mike Santana.
00:18:07Tell me, what does this moment mean to you on a night this big?
00:18:12Big?
00:18:15The biggest night in TNA history.
00:18:20My TNA World title, Mike Santana, has the opportunity...
00:18:34What am I supposed to do?
00:18:36Shake your hand?
00:18:38Give you a big hug?
00:18:39Big sloppy kiss?
00:18:41I mean, you already show up tonight, like you run the place, go out and cut your little promo?
00:18:46If you have anything to say to me, anything, maybe it's just, thank you for the house.
00:19:03Thanks.
00:19:12AJ Styles said it himself earlier on tonight, bigger, better, bolder.
00:19:16That's what's in store.
00:19:18Can Mike Santana reclaim the TNA World title from Kazarian?
00:19:22We'll find out tonight.
00:19:29There were no guarantees, no shortcuts, only an opportunity to be different.
00:19:41Speed, risk, innovation.
00:19:47Fearless flights into the unknown, the X-Division is the foundation of what TNA wrestling became.
00:19:55And soon, the world of professional wrestling would follow.
00:20:00I have got to be freaking kidding!
00:20:05Generations passed through the storm they created, and those became legends who defied the fall.
00:20:12When I was in the X-Division, it was AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe.
00:20:18The X-Division, it has never been a stepping stone.
00:20:21It's been the foundation, the spirit, the lifeblood of TNA wrestling.
00:20:26I would say that the X-Division is in phenomenal hands.
00:20:33The X-Division, the signature division of TNA wrestling,
00:20:38founded by people like the man we saw, the phenomenal AJ Styles,
00:20:42currently led by the X-Division champ, Leon Slater.
00:20:45It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits.

00:23:10live here for the debut of TNA Wrestling on AMC?
00:23:17Yeah, we...
00:23:18Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, Gia.
00:23:20You're having a little Hollywood party down here,
00:23:22and I'm not invited.
00:23:24Me, the Hollywood hunk, Ryan Nemeth!
00:23:29You guys aren't the big stars, okay?
00:23:31You two pump chumps are on my show, okay?
00:23:34I'm the star.
00:23:35What are you looking at?
00:23:35What are you looking at, pretty boy?
00:23:37You look like you want to hit...
00:23:46What the hell is Ryan Nemeth doing?
00:23:48Oh, he got caught in the barricade!
00:23:51Oh, what?
00:23:52How dare you, sir?
00:23:53Zahn McClareneth just lit him up with a chop!
00:23:56You are a guest in our home!
00:23:59Zahn McClareneth's a guest of ours!
00:24:03Well, right now I want to turn our attention to another matter
00:24:06that, well, was pretty devastating.
00:24:08This was last month after a steel cage matchup.
00:24:11There's our director of authority, Santina Morella.
00:24:14That is his own daughter, Ariana Grace,
00:24:17who was turning her back on her father
00:24:19with the help of her fiancé, Stax, from NXT.
00:24:23You want to be a idiot?
00:24:25You don't even know what the heck you're going on.
00:24:28You, a daughter?
00:24:29I hope you're not a thing like him,
00:24:32but you probably are a dead need.
00:24:35Broke her father's heart,
00:24:37and he hasn't been the same since.
00:24:52Please welcome the TNA director of authority,
00:25:03Santino Morella!
00:25:05It's great to see Santino Morella with a smile on his face.
00:25:09Wrestling fans for years know his trademark brand of entertainment.
00:25:13Yes, he's a bit of an oddball,
00:25:15but he has done a great job as our day-to-day operations manager
00:25:19here at TNA Wrestling,
00:25:20our director of authority.
00:25:22To your point,
00:25:25to see a smile is a rare thing
00:25:26considering everything that's been in his personal life as of late.
00:25:31Hello, Dallas!
00:25:33Dallas!
00:25:36Is tonight a special night or what?
00:25:43Thursday night impact on AMC.
00:25:46Come on!
00:25:47It doesn't get bigger than that.
00:25:51There's going to be a lot of new eyes on us.
00:25:54A lot of new expectations.
00:25:56A lot of pressure.
00:25:57But I know these guys can handle it
00:25:59because we fought tooth and nail to get here.
00:26:02Nothing's going to stop us.
00:26:04This is going to be the beginning of something incredible!
00:26:12Now, as you saw in the video,
00:26:14my mindset is a little bit off.
00:26:17I've been distracted as 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 and turns their back on you,
00:26:31it's not something you can shake off
00:26:33like the water on the duck.
00:26:35It's okay!
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.
00:26:49And now that we're on AMC,
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, my heart is not 100% here.
00:27:04And this is not the time to drop the ball.
00:27:06And at first, when I heard the news,
00:27:08I was a little bit of hesitation.
00:27:11But then, when 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,
00:27:26without 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!
00:28:02But we know just how effective
00:28:04and when she wants to be
00:28:05just how dangerous of a woman
00:28:08she can be.
00:28:09Decisive, no doubt about it!
00:28:12Daria does have general 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 M&A promotion
00:28:26within Anthem Sports and Entertainment.
00:28:38Let me be the first to say
00:28:41welcome
00:28:42to TNA.
00:28:48Thank you, all of you.
00:28:51Thank you, Santino.
00:28:53First things first,
00:28:54congratulations.
00:28:54Look at this.
00:28:57Look at this.
00:29:02I've been watching from afar
00:29:04over the years,
00:29:04and you 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, the bad, the 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.

00:29:52on 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, we 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!
00:30:33Professionalism.
00:30:33None of which you have the ability to give, do 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?
00:30:43Hey, take it easy.
00:30:45Right now, you'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.
00:30:59I dealt with the egos.
00:31:00I understand television.
00:31:02And most importantly,
00:31:04I 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.
00:31:15So 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.

00:47:38barriers shattered glass ceilings and revolutionized the world of professional wrestling
00:47:52i remember watching the knockouts kill it every week and i remember thinking how i wanted to be
00:47:58like them the tna knockouts are an eclectic blend of beauty and brawl
00:48:09i don't just want to be a knockout i want to be the knockout
00:48:18fearless determined beautifully unconventional unyielding in their conviction
00:48:30lane lee is the new tna knockouts world champion is there anyone better than me

00:48:59ladies and gentlemen as we prepare for genesis allow me to introduce at this time the tna knockouts
00:49:06world champion lady lee
00:49:09so
00:49:17so
00:49:22so
00:49:23so
00:50:24Ladies and gentlemen, due to an international visa crisis, Danny Luna is not going to be able to compete at
00:50:31Genesis.
00:50:32However, Lady Lee has committed herself to be a fighting champion and has signed a contract to an open challenge
00:50:44on Saturday at Genesis.
00:50:48Jesus!
00:50:49Jesus!
00:50:50Jesus!
00:50:53Jesus!
00:50:54Jesus!
00:50:55Jesus!
00:50:56Jesus!
00:50:57Jesus!
00:50:58Jesus!
00:50:58Jesus!
00:50:59Jesus!
00:51:00Jesus!
00:51:00Jesus!
00:51:00Jesus!
00:51:03Jesus!
00:51:04Jesus!
00:51:06Jesus!
00:51:08Jesus!
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 had 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.
00:52:13Now, 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.
00:53:04Because there is no one who is more deserving than you.
00:53:09A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
00:53:26A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior! A warrior!
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 zaria face to face with the knockouts world champion lei ying lee genesis they go one
00:53:55on one genesis is this saturday right here in dallas texas live on pay-per-view and tna plus the
00:54:03tna knockouts world championship is on the line but the tna world title is at stake in our main
00:54:09event with a legacy built on the backs of legends
00:54:21the tna wrestling world championship it's not just a championship it's a legacy
00:54:32the tna world title puts everything here that means you're the guy here this championship
00:54:38carries the weight of responsibility of not only representing tna wrestling but protecting it
00:54:44anyone that says that they don't want to be the world champion is either a liar or not in this
00:54:50business for the right reasons you do not hold this championship to be celebrated you carry it to
00:54:56be tested i did not come to tna to be good at wrestling i came to tna become world champion
00:55:05and become the best damn wrestler ever i'm on my way
00:55:15it is a living testament that belief endures that the legacy demands sacrifice and that only those
00:55:23willing to stand in the fires can be the tna wrestling world champion
00:55:28take care in the GyCar designer

01:14:05you he ain't having
01:14:06any of it he's feeding off of it

01:15:09oh super kick mike santana has said that tonight tonight is about him tonight he's doing it for
01:15:18the buck 50. is that enough cover stacks up the champion and a kick out like a super super gun

01:15:36perfect rolling buck 50. that's what he calls it the rolling buck 50. that's it
01:15:42but not enough to put the world champion away there's one thing we know about frankie kazarian
