00:00:00The following is a Champions Challenge!

00:00:04Making his way to the ring from Yucca Valley, California,

00:00:09weighing in at 220 pounds, Frankie Kazarian!

00:00:18Last week, Mike Santana shut down Steve Macklin in a pay-per-view caliber

00:00:23TNA World Title Defense.

00:00:25Tonight, the likes of former world champion Frankie Kazarian

00:00:28and plenty more All-Stars will buy for future title shots

00:00:32in the Champions Challenge matches.

00:00:34Welcome to Impact!

00:00:51I was looking for a fight

00:00:54I love the reason why

00:01:20As of today, we are just one month away from GNA Wrestling's Slammiversary,

00:01:25live on pay-per-view at GNA Plus in Boston.

00:01:28But first, here in Sacramento,

00:01:30the march toward Slammiversary could be changed

00:01:33by not one, but two Champions Challenge back-ups.

00:01:37And to kick things off,

00:01:38the now former X Division champion,

00:01:41Leon Slater, returns to action

00:01:43for the first time since his heartbreaking title loss

00:01:47to Cedric Alexander.

00:02:04And their tag team partner from Bradford, England,

00:02:08weighing in at 92 kilos,

00:02:13Leon Slater!

00:02:15It's fantastic to see a smile on Leon's face,

00:02:19but I promise you, he's hurting.

00:02:21Slater recently opened up on TNA social and digital platforms.

00:02:25You have to seek out Leon's comments on his loss

00:02:27from two weeks ago.

00:02:29Slater talked about being scared and feeling lost,

00:02:32saying he experienced a familiar feeling to when

00:02:35his father left.

00:02:37When Leon was a young boy,

00:02:39the fear of being forgotten.

00:02:40Slater said he felt like he failed the fans,

00:02:43he felt like he failed his family.

00:02:45Leon said it himself prior to his match

00:02:47against Cedric Alexander,

00:02:49quote,

00:02:49people don't remember those who equal greatness,

00:02:52they only remember those who surpass it.

00:02:55Will the youngest in charge

00:02:57be remembered as a one-hit wonder,

00:02:59or will Leon Slater find himself once again

00:03:02within those ropes?

00:03:09Oh, my God!

00:03:11Oh, my God!

00:03:14Oh, my God!

00:03:19Oh, my God!

00:03:20Oh, my God!

00:04:02It's a huge opportunity here for all the challengers involved in this one.

00:04:09Mustafa Ali fresh off his title defense against WWE ID's Chaz Starboy Hall last week.

00:04:16You can't beat the system.

00:04:19I can see that!

00:04:21Next, they are the TNA World Tag Team Champions,

00:04:28Bear Bronson and Brian Myers,

00:04:31and the TNA Ex-Division Champion,

00:04:37Cedric Alexander,

00:04:38the system!

00:04:44The system draped in gold.

00:04:47Myers and Bronson,

00:04:48the TNA World Tag Team Champions,

00:04:51Cedric Alexander,

00:04:53the dream crusher,

00:04:55the new TNA Ex-Division Champion.

00:05:01You talked about the Spectre haunting Slater.

00:05:05That Spectre takes human form

00:05:07in Cedric Alexander.

00:05:09Look at the hole.

00:05:10Leon Slater is staring through the new

00:05:12X-Division Champion.

00:05:15The history taker,

00:05:18Prime,

00:05:19Cedric Alexander,

00:05:21basking in the glory of the system tonight

00:05:24ahead of the Champions Challenge.

00:05:28Let's get it again!

00:05:30Love City 99.

00:05:32Santana was gone.

00:05:34Hey, y'all!

00:05:34Stay born nasty.

00:05:35The rotten apple don't fall,

00:05:37far from the rickety tree.

00:05:38Put depression out of misery.

00:05:40And listen to me,

00:05:41but I fight cause the light

00:05:42at the end of the tunnel

00:05:44of the liver peace.

00:05:45He's the epitome.

00:05:46A left jab,

00:05:47right broke,

00:05:48fear and leave.

00:05:49A reminder that we all

00:05:50gotta kill the weak mind

00:05:51to feel slighted.

00:05:52They get up,

00:05:53and you suck the moves,

00:05:55left him a death.

00:05:55And their tag team partner,

00:05:58from the Bronx, New York,

00:05:59weighing in at 230 pounds,

00:06:02he is the TNA World Champion,

00:06:07Mike Santana!

00:06:13Mike Santana has dropped

00:06:15four former TNA World Champions thus far.

00:06:20And it's now 131 days

00:06:23as TNA World Champion.

00:06:25We know Eric Young

00:06:26is on the horizon

00:06:28as the current

00:06:29number one contender.

00:06:32this train does not stop.

00:06:35Mike Santana, I know,

00:06:37wouldn't have it any other way.

00:06:40But right here, right now,

00:06:41is yet another opportunity

00:06:43for someone to potentially score

00:06:45a title shot

00:06:46against Santana.

00:06:47It's the interesting

00:06:49It's the interesting wrinkle

00:06:49to the Champions Challenge matches

00:06:51that we'll see tonight

00:06:52on the men's side

00:06:52and for the knockouts

00:06:54in our main event.

00:06:55If any of the TNA All-Stars

00:06:57pin any of the champions,

00:06:58then they will receive

00:06:59a future title shot

00:07:01at whatever champion

00:07:02they pin.

00:07:02If either of the tag team champions

00:07:04are pinned,

00:07:05the winner will be able

00:07:07to pick their partner

00:07:07for a future title shot.

00:07:09Now, I am told,

00:07:10per TNA management,

00:07:12Eric Young is in

00:07:13a unique circumstance.

00:07:14If Eric Young were to pin

00:07:15Mike Santana,

00:07:16it would not change anything.

00:07:18He has a future

00:07:18TNA World title shot already.

00:07:20However,

00:07:21Eric Young does have

00:07:22the possibility

00:07:23to pin

00:07:24Cedric Alexander,

00:07:25Hussifah Ali,

00:07:27a member of the tag team champions.

00:07:29Eric Young could walk out

00:07:30with an additional

00:07:31title shot.

00:07:32tonight on top of his

00:07:33guaranteed future

00:07:34TNA World title shot.

00:07:38Certainly wouldn't hurt

00:07:39his cause,

00:07:40I'm sure about that.

00:07:41But as is the question

00:07:43with a lot of these matches,

00:07:44you'll see it in the main event

00:07:45as well as here.

00:07:46It's some odd bedfellows

00:07:48on either side of the ring.

00:07:50People who normally

00:07:51don't team together

00:07:52are going to try to get along

00:07:54to win this matchup.

00:07:56Still to come this evening

00:07:58here in Sacramento,

00:07:59Tessa Blanchard

00:08:00goes one-on-one

00:08:01with Harley Hudson

00:08:02and knockouts action.

00:08:04Stacks will face

00:08:05Santino Morella,

00:08:07its future son-in-law

00:08:08against the father

00:08:10of Ariana Grace.

00:08:11Meanwhile,

00:08:12Fabian Heitner

00:08:13makes his official

00:08:14TNA debut

00:08:16ever since emerging

00:08:17two weeks ago

00:08:18live after the incredible

00:08:19matchup between

00:08:20Slater and Alexander.

00:08:22Two out of three falls

00:08:23for the X Division Championship.

00:08:25Heitner faces

00:08:26Eddie Edwards

00:08:27of the system

00:08:28and as I mentioned

00:08:29in our main event,

00:08:30the Knockouts

00:08:31Champions Challenge match.

00:08:33The Knockouts

00:08:34World Champion

00:08:34Lane Lee.

00:08:35The Knockouts World

00:08:36Tag Team Champions,

00:08:37the Elegance brand.

00:08:38Up against

00:08:38Ziya Brookside,

00:08:39Alayna Black

00:08:40and Mara Shaddae.

00:08:43You can see the early

00:08:46strategizing on the side

00:08:47of the Champions

00:08:48for them especially.

00:08:50This is a dangerous scenario.

00:08:51It is everything to gain

00:08:53and nothing to lose

00:08:54for the TNA All-Stars

00:08:56on the other side

00:08:57of the ring.

00:09:02So here we go.

00:09:03This is Brian Myers

00:09:04to start things off

00:09:05against Elijah.

00:09:06Elijah is curious

00:09:08in this Champions Challenge

00:09:09given the stakes

00:09:10for the All-Stars.

00:09:11He has yet to win

00:09:12a major championship

00:09:14in professional wrestling.

00:09:16There's nothing like

00:09:17that first one

00:09:18and I mean

00:09:19despite the incredible

00:09:22things he's done,

00:09:24it's time to find

00:09:25that big gold.

00:09:26down goes Myers.

00:09:29There's a cover

00:09:30on one half

00:09:31of the Tag Champs

00:09:32and a kick out at two.

00:09:34Elijah in command

00:09:35against Myers.

00:09:36Could an All-Star

00:09:37secure a title shot

00:09:38here in the

00:09:39Champions Challenge?

00:09:42With the Slammiversary

00:09:44one month away,

00:09:45this is a critical night

00:09:46here on TNA Thursday

00:09:47Night Impact on AMC.

00:09:49This is the first

00:09:50of two Champions Challenge

00:09:52matches.

00:09:53The knockouts

00:09:53are still to come

00:09:54in our main event.

00:09:55If an All-Star

00:09:56pins a champion,

00:09:57they will get

00:09:58a future title shot.

00:10:00Right now,

00:10:01this is Santana

00:10:02and Elijah.

00:10:03Interestingly,

00:10:04these two

00:10:04have never

00:10:06locked up,

00:10:07never touched,

00:10:08never been in the same ring

00:10:09across the ring

00:10:10from each other

00:10:11ever before.

00:10:13Elijah trying to pick

00:10:14pace here against the

00:10:15reigning TNA World Champion.

00:10:17Misses with the elbow.

00:10:18Drops Santana.

00:10:20Rejuvenated after his

00:10:22series of title defenses

00:10:23we've seen over

00:10:24the last few weeks.

00:10:25The sensational

00:10:26title defense

00:10:28against Rich Juan

00:10:28and Santana

00:10:29putting away

00:10:30Steve Macklin

00:10:31in a heavy-hitting

00:10:32pay-per-view caliber

00:10:34matchup last week,

00:10:35which revisited

00:10:36the sacrifice event.

00:10:39Great little opening

00:10:40exchange there

00:10:42between these two.

00:10:44This is a feeling

00:10:44out process.

00:10:45You love to see it

00:10:46between two

00:10:47very high-level

00:10:48competitors like

00:10:49Santana

00:11:07two weeks ago.

00:11:08He has a

00:11:09guaranteed future

00:11:10TNA World

00:11:10title shot

00:11:11against Santana.

00:11:13There you go.

00:11:13You saw Frankie

00:11:14Kazarian tag himself

00:11:15in off of Elijah.

00:11:17Man, he's got

00:11:18no love lost for.

00:11:19And we know

00:11:20that Frankie

00:11:21Kazarian is

00:11:22desperate to get

00:11:23back to the

00:11:24TNA World title.

00:11:25Frankie Kazarian's

00:11:27about that

00:11:27ever since

00:11:28the Genesis

00:11:40And he's

00:11:41fast and furious

00:11:51Sorted history

00:11:52between Elijah

00:11:53about that.

00:11:59an opportunity

00:12:00If he

00:12:00would have

00:24:41Crawford and

00:24:42Mila Moore by

00:24:55Her

00:24:55friends,

00:24:56her

00:24:56teammates

00:24:58have been

00:24:58scarred,

00:25:31Recently,

00:25:32we got to

00:25:32learn a lot

00:25:33from Harley

00:25:33Hudson.

00:25:34We saw

00:25:34how she

00:25:35was in

00:25:35our

00:25:35makeup

00:25:36department

00:25:36getting ready

00:25:37and was

00:25:38explaining how

00:25:39her journey

00:25:40has played

00:25:40out.

00:25:41She won

00:25:41TNA gut

00:25:42check a

00:25:42little over

00:25:43a year and

00:25:43a half ago

00:25:44and obviously

00:25:44there's some

00:25:45changes going

00:25:45on within

00:25:46the company.

00:25:46It took a

00:25:47little while

00:25:47for her

00:25:48entire

00:25:48situation

00:25:49to get

00:25:50processed

00:25:50and she

00:25:51traveled

00:25:52and moved

00:25:534,600

00:25:54plus miles

00:25:55from the

00:25:59part of

00:26:00TNA Wrestling

00:26:01to continue

00:26:02honing her

00:26:02craft and

00:26:03well,

00:26:04right next to

00:26:04Harley Hudson

00:26:05in makeup

00:26:06was Tessa

00:26:07Blanchard

00:26:07who did not

00:26:08want to hear

00:26:09about the

00:26:09trials and

00:26:10tribulations

00:26:10of anyone

00:26:11other than

00:26:12Tessa Blanchard.

00:26:13Way to roll

00:26:13up there

00:26:14trying to

00:26:14end it early

00:26:15but Tessa

00:26:16Blanchard,

00:26:17I can't

00:26:17believe her.

00:26:17Who hasn't

00:26:18been up and

00:26:19down the

00:26:19roads in

00:26:20this business?

00:26:20This is a

00:26:21long, hard,

00:26:22tough business

00:26:22for anybody

00:26:23especially someone

00:26:24like Blanchard

00:26:25who's been all

00:26:25over the world

00:26:26herself and

00:26:27as I mentioned

00:26:28before, her

00:26:29friends have been

00:26:30absolutely brutalized

00:26:32mentally by

00:26:33Rosemary and

00:26:34Allie.

00:26:34Let's not forget.

00:26:35Right, but is

00:26:36no one else

00:26:37allowed to have

00:26:38challenges?

00:26:38No one else

00:26:39allowed to share

00:26:39that with the

00:26:40world?

00:26:40That's all

00:26:40Harley Hudson

00:26:41was doing.

00:26:42She was simply

00:26:42answering a

00:26:43question and

00:26:43explaining how

00:26:44motivated she

00:26:45is here at

00:26:46TNA and

00:26:46of course

00:26:47Tessa had to

00:26:48make it all

00:26:48about Tessa.

00:26:49The undeniable

00:26:50diamond for a

00:26:51reason.

00:26:51Cover kick out

00:26:52by Blanchard.

00:26:53Undeniable is the

00:26:54appropriate adjective.

00:26:56100%

00:26:57the reason is there

00:26:58but Harley Hudson

00:27:00has a chance to

00:27:01prove herself

00:27:02undeniable.

00:27:03What a win over

00:27:04a former world

00:27:05champion like

00:27:06Tessa Blanchard

00:27:07would mean.

00:27:08A two-time world

00:27:09champion of Tessa

00:27:10Blanchard.

00:27:11Harley Hudson

00:27:11has been trying

00:27:12to find her

00:27:19teamed with

00:27:19Myla Grace

00:27:20but at the

00:27:22same time

00:27:22Harley Hudson

00:27:23has been trying

00:27:24to find her

00:27:24place here.

00:27:25Does she compete

00:27:26as a tag team

00:27:27wrestler alongside

00:27:28Myla Grace?

00:27:29Or is she

00:27:29going alone?

00:27:31Well

00:27:33you might

00:27:33want to make

00:27:34the choice

00:27:34to go it

00:27:35Oh!

00:27:36Blanchard

00:29:25it away.

00:29:26Hudson

00:29:26staying in

00:29:27the fight

00:29:27though.

00:29:30I think

00:29:31Blanchard

00:29:31is regretting

00:29:32having

00:29:32meddled

00:29:33with the

00:29:34undead

00:29:34realm.

00:29:35I mean

00:29:36certainly

00:29:36taking away

00:29:37Victoria Crawford,

00:29:38Mila Moore,

00:29:39but many

00:29:40of the

00:29:40questions and

00:29:41stories we're

00:29:42posing here

00:29:42about Harley

00:29:43Hudson

00:29:43breaking out

00:29:44on her

00:29:44own.

00:29:44This

00:29:45could be

00:29:45a moment

00:29:45for Blanchard

00:29:46to reestablish

00:29:48herself at

00:29:48the top

00:29:49of the

00:29:49knockouts

00:29:50division

00:29:52well.

00:29:52We know

00:29:53she's capable.

00:29:53Blanchard's

00:29:54got to be

00:29:54frustrated.

00:29:55She wasn't

00:29:55selected to

00:29:57in the

00:29:57Champions

00:29:58Challenge

00:29:58match,

00:29:59but Blanchard

00:29:59very arrogant

00:30:01claims that

00:30:01she can

00:30:02take the

00:30:03Knockouts

00:30:03World

00:37:04on TNA

00:37:04Thursday Night

00:37:05Impact.

00:37:12Halloween contest

00:37:13is scheduled

00:37:14for one call.

00:37:16Introducing first,

00:37:17accompanied by

00:37:18Ariana Grace,

00:37:20representing the

00:37:21boot ride from

00:37:23Albany, New York,

00:37:24weighing in at

00:37:25206-pound

00:37:26challenge,

00:37:29Stax

00:37:31Marinto!

00:37:32This has been

00:37:33brewing since

00:37:34the Steel Cage

00:37:35match back in

00:37:36December.

00:37:37Father versus

00:37:39Son-in-law.

00:37:41I think we all

00:37:42knew that at some

00:37:43point, somewhere,

00:37:44it would come to

00:37:45this.

00:37:46I'm quite frankly

00:37:47surprised it took

00:37:48this long,

00:37:49given everything

00:37:50they've done to

00:37:51one another,

00:37:52how much they've

00:37:53gotten in each

00:37:54other's business,

00:37:55but now,

00:37:56Santino's gonna

00:37:57get to do what

00:37:57I think a lot of

00:37:58father-in-laws

00:37:59would love to do.

00:38:10And his opponent

00:38:11from Mississard,

00:38:12Ontario, Canada,

00:38:13he is the TNA

00:38:15Director of

00:38:18Authority,

00:38:21Santino's

00:38:22movie!

00:38:24The last time we

00:38:26saw Santino

00:38:26Morella in action

00:38:27was that ill-fated

00:38:29Steel Cage match

00:38:30where he fought

00:38:31against the NXT

00:38:32Outlaws on behalf

00:38:33of TNA Wrestling,

00:38:35and it was

00:38:35Stax and Ariana

00:38:36Grace who broke

00:38:38his heart that

00:38:38night.

00:38:40That's a night,

00:38:41that's a scar that

00:38:43will live with

00:38:43Santino Morella

00:38:44for as long as he

00:38:45lives, there's no

00:38:46doubt about that.

00:38:49His family dynamic

00:38:51forever changed

00:38:52that night.

00:38:55But this, in my opinion,

00:38:58as much as Santino

00:38:59Morella's gonna get

00:39:00some satisfaction out of

00:39:02this, I'm sure,

00:39:03this is exactly the kind

00:39:04thing that Daria Rae,

00:39:05the suit, has been

00:39:06talking about for

00:39:07months.

00:39:09Santino getting

00:39:10personal, making this

00:39:11all about him, all about

00:39:12emotion, not thinking

00:39:14like a businessman as

00:39:15he's supposed to

00:39:16as the Director of

00:39:17Authority.

00:39:17Well, he is still

00:39:18operating under his

00:39:20full-time role as the

00:39:21Director of Authority,

00:39:22continues to make

00:39:23matches, continues to do

00:39:24what is best for TNA,

00:39:26but this is what's best

00:39:27for Santino Morella

00:39:29in this...

00:39:30Yeah, best for him!

00:39:31Exactly, Tom!

00:39:33It is, because if he

00:39:34doesn't settle this with

00:39:35Stax, how much further

00:39:37is this gonna go

00:39:38between himself, his

00:39:39son-in-law, and his

00:39:40own daughter, Ariana

00:39:41Grace?

00:39:41How about he settles

00:39:42in on his personal

00:39:43time like any other

00:39:44normal human?

00:39:45What are they gonna

00:39:46go to, therapy?

00:39:47This is professional

00:39:48wrestling.

00:39:48They're gonna settle

00:39:50it in the...

00:39:50Therapy is for

00:39:51everybody, folks.

00:39:52Don't let Tom's

00:39:53own crotchety butt

00:39:54tell you otherwise.

00:39:56I think through a ton

00:39:56of therapy, sir.

00:40:01Wrestling is their

00:40:02therapy tonight,

00:40:03Raywalt.

00:40:03Now clearly, we're

00:40:04gonna see just how

00:40:05effective that is.

00:40:07Santino Morella

00:40:08gonna go up into

00:40:08the old bag of tricks!

00:40:09Shoulders down here!

00:40:11I'm gonna kick out!

00:40:12Santino grabbing

00:40:13a hold of Stax.

00:40:14It's been quite some

00:40:15time since Santino

00:40:16had a singles match

00:40:17over here.

00:40:18Cover and a kick out!

00:40:20It's his first singles

00:40:20match actually in

00:40:21nearly a year.

00:40:23He challenged

00:40:23the page.

00:40:25On a cover!

00:40:26And a kick out

00:40:26for the North American

00:40:28Championship on

00:40:29NXT last summer.

00:40:32See how he fares

00:40:33here against

00:40:34the younger Stax.

00:40:36Oh, then we made

00:40:36no secret.

00:40:37Santino Morella

00:40:38keeps himself

00:40:39in great shape

00:40:40running his

00:40:41Battle Arts Academy.

00:40:43A mixed martial

00:40:44artist in his own

00:40:45right to training

00:40:45constantly in his

00:40:47off time.

00:40:49Ring wrestling

00:40:50will be much less

00:40:50of a factor

00:40:51than it is for

00:40:52many other people

00:40:53in a position

00:40:53like his.

00:40:54Santino Morella

00:40:55getting into it

00:40:56with his daughter

00:40:56Ariana Grace.

00:40:57Here's the issue

00:40:58for Santino.

00:40:59How do you

00:40:59navigate this

00:41:00unemotional?

00:41:01I think that's

00:41:02possible.

00:41:03He hasn't done

00:41:04that at all

00:41:04this entire time.

00:41:05That's the issue.

00:41:06I don't think

00:41:07he's been able

00:41:08to do any

00:41:08of that separating.

00:41:09He's got people

00:41:10like Indy Hartwell

00:41:11involved in all

00:41:12of this, which

00:41:13got both of them

00:41:14suspended.

00:41:14That's his fault.

00:41:20Santino into the

00:41:21corner.

00:41:22Stax rushes

00:41:23after.

00:41:23Santino remains

00:41:25in command here.

00:41:26I guess his

00:41:27soon-to-be

00:41:27son-in-law.

00:41:29Santino now

00:41:30he's toying

00:41:30with Stax.

00:41:32When you

00:41:33mentioned the

00:41:33situation with

00:41:34Indy Hartwell

00:41:35going into the

00:41:35locker room,

00:41:36obviously there

00:41:37was a misunderstanding

00:41:38in that entire

00:41:39situation that

00:41:39Daria Ray was

00:41:40trying to take

00:41:41advantage of

00:41:42in this sick

00:41:43power struggle

00:41:44between Daria

00:41:44and Santino.

00:41:46A lot of that

00:41:47obviously came to

00:41:47a head last week.

00:41:48Ariana Grace

00:41:49joining us on

00:41:50commentary as

00:41:52Indy Hartwell

00:41:52took on Elena

00:41:53Black.

00:41:55And then Santino

00:41:56and Stax nearly

00:41:58exploding in the

00:41:59ring, ultimately

00:42:00leading to this.

00:42:02Big shots here

00:42:03by Norella.

00:42:04look at him.

00:42:07Look out!

00:42:09Norella.

00:42:10Ooh!

00:42:11Double moves

00:42:12there by Stax

00:42:14and that slows

00:42:14up Santino.

00:42:18That's a problem

00:42:18with having a,

00:42:19quite frankly,

00:42:20legendary career

00:42:21like Santino.

00:42:22There's, there's

00:42:23tape of you

00:42:23everywhere.

00:42:25There's not a

00:42:26whole lot you

00:42:26could bring to the

00:42:27table that maybe

00:42:27someone like Stax

00:42:28has not seen.

00:42:32How's that feel

00:42:33in there, huh?

00:42:34How's that feel?

00:42:37Santino asking for

00:42:38a timeout?

00:42:41Santino's

00:42:42unorthodox.

00:42:43You know that.

00:42:44That's, that's a word

00:42:45for it.

00:42:45Start him first

00:42:46into the top

00:42:47turnbuckle.

00:42:50This is where Stax

00:42:52has an opportunity

00:42:55to take out

00:42:56his own frustrations.

00:43:01Stax, when he

00:43:02initially went off

00:43:03inside the cage

00:43:04in December

00:43:05was voicing

00:43:06a lot of things

00:43:06that sounded like

00:43:07it had come from

00:43:08his fiancee,

00:43:09Ariana Grace.

00:43:09I think Stax

00:43:10is hopelessly

00:43:12in love

00:43:13and fighting

00:43:14on behalf

00:43:14of his fiancee

00:43:15to a degree.

00:43:16I don't think

00:43:16that justifies

00:43:17his actions.

00:43:18He's a little jerk.

00:43:19A man is in love

00:43:20with a beautiful

00:43:21and talented woman

00:43:22and is fighting

00:43:23on her behalf

00:43:24to defend her honor.

00:43:25Oh, what a great

00:43:27tragedy it is.

00:43:28Here's the cover.

00:43:28Shoulders down

00:43:29and a kick out.

00:43:30I think he's been

00:43:31manipulated by Ariana

00:43:32Grace and I'm not

00:43:33saying that he's

00:43:34some helpless person

00:43:35in this situation.

00:43:36He's obviously

00:43:37gone along with it.

00:43:38We've seen the way

00:43:38that Birthright

00:43:39is operating on NXT.

00:43:41Stax wasn't getting

00:43:42where he wanted to

00:43:43in this business,

00:43:44so he decided

00:43:45he'd team up

00:43:45with his fiancee

00:43:47and go after

00:43:48an authority figure

00:43:49here in TNA.

00:43:50Check things out.

00:43:51That's the total

00:43:52antithesis of what

00:43:53Santino Morello

00:43:53seems to think.

00:43:54He thinks it's Stax

00:43:55quote unquote

00:43:56poisoning the mind

00:43:57of Ariana Grace.

00:43:59I think it's a two-way street

00:44:00with the poison

00:44:01between Grace and Stax.

00:44:06Santino

00:44:06is finding an antidote

00:44:09to Stax here

00:44:10on the fly.

00:44:11Finding a big,

00:44:12big opening.

00:44:13Got to beware

00:44:14of that Cobra.

00:44:18On the move,

00:44:19Morello getting fired up

00:44:20knee right to the

00:44:21midsection.

00:44:24Now look at that.

00:44:27Absolutely split

00:44:28his future son

00:44:29line line half.

00:44:30Oh, you just mentioned it,

00:44:33Tom.

00:44:33There it is.

00:44:36The Cobra that Ariana

00:44:37Grace stole

00:44:38once upon a time.

00:44:39Used it to win

00:44:40the Knockouts World

00:44:41title.

00:44:42Oh, now Ariana Grace

00:44:43trying to disarm her father.

00:44:45Oh, yes!

00:44:46There goes the Cobra.

00:44:48Stax, Stax

00:44:49pens Santino.

00:44:53Here is your winner,

00:44:56Kenny Stax

00:44:59Lorenzo!

00:45:00Well, that Cobra

00:45:02is Ariana Grace's

00:45:04birthright

00:45:05as much as it is

00:45:07Santino's little

00:45:08prop.

00:45:09But this is what

00:45:11happens when you

00:45:11stick your nose

00:45:12where it doesn't

00:45:14belong.

00:45:18You want to take

00:45:19my title from me?

00:45:23You want to

00:45:24ruin our careers?

00:45:26Look at you now!

00:45:27Like a loser!

00:45:30That's what

00:45:30you're going to

00:45:31throw, Jack.

00:45:31I'm sick of your

00:45:32stuff.

00:45:34What?

00:45:34You want to

00:45:34center for me?

00:45:35You're going to

00:45:35look!

00:45:37You're just

00:45:38okay!

00:45:39Oh, no!

00:45:40Stax

00:45:41all over Santino!

00:45:42He put his

00:45:43hands on Ariana

00:45:44and Grace

00:45:45was going to

00:45:46assault her

00:45:47father.

00:45:49Well, on a

00:45:50second,

00:45:52Indy Hartwell

00:45:53who stood at

00:45:54the side of

00:45:55Santino

00:45:55throughout this

00:45:56mess.

00:45:57Another person

00:45:57sticking their

00:45:58nose where it

00:45:58doesn't belong.

00:46:00Indy Hartwell

00:46:01was the star

00:46:01witness who

00:46:02helped Santino

00:46:03get reinstated

00:46:04here despite

00:46:06the actions

00:46:06of Grace

00:46:07Stax

00:46:08and Delia

00:46:08Ray.

00:46:10I told you!

00:46:12title or no

00:46:13title, I'm

00:46:14still coming

00:46:15for you.

00:46:16So what do you

00:46:17say?

00:46:18Indy,

00:46:19Santino

00:46:20versus

00:46:21Ariana and

00:46:22Stax

00:46:22right here,

00:46:24right now!

00:46:29Let's go!

00:46:32You scared?

00:46:34You scared?

00:46:37As we so

00:46:38often say,

00:46:39let's remember

00:46:40wrestlers do

00:46:41not make

00:46:42matches.

00:46:43No, no, no, no,

00:46:45no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:46:48You definitely do

00:46:50not make the

00:46:51matches around

00:46:51here, so this

00:46:52tag match is

00:46:53absolutely not

00:46:55happening tonight.

00:47:01Stax won fair

00:47:02and square.

00:47:03It's over.

00:47:07You know

00:47:08what?

00:47:09On second

00:47:10thought, I

00:47:12would love to

00:47:13see Stax

00:47:15beat Santino

00:47:16up again.

00:47:17So there

00:47:17might be room

00:47:18on the show

00:47:18next week.

00:47:20Yeah, you

00:47:21know what?

00:47:21I think there

00:47:21is.

00:47:22Next week,

00:47:22it's going

00:47:23to be

00:47:23Stax

00:47:24and Ariana

00:47:25Grace

00:47:25versus

00:47:26Santino

00:47:27and Indy

00:47:28Hartwell.

00:47:36It appears

00:47:37this

00:47:37isn't

00:47:37over

00:47:37right now.

00:47:39Far

00:47:39from it.

00:47:41Asking

00:47:42you shall

00:47:42receive

00:47:43mixed tag

00:47:44team

00:48:00come with

00:48:01Slammiversary

00:48:02just one

00:48:02month away.

00:48:03Could an

00:48:03All-Star

00:48:04secure a

00:48:05future title

00:48:05shot?

00:48:06We're going

00:48:06to find

00:48:06out in

00:50:12Fabian Eichner,

00:50:14TNA's

00:50:14newest

00:50:15acquisition.

00:50:16It's gonna be a

00:50:17tall task for

00:50:18Eichner.

00:50:20Edwards,

00:50:21a two-time

00:50:21TNA World

00:50:23Champion,

00:50:23two-time

00:50:28Champion.

00:50:38Veni,

00:50:40vici.

00:50:54And his

00:50:55opponent,

00:50:56from the

00:50:57Italian Elks,

00:50:59weighing in at

00:50:59102 kilos,

00:51:03Il Glattatore,

00:51:06Fabian

00:51:08Eichner.

00:51:11The newest

00:51:12addition to

00:51:13TNA Wrestling,

00:51:14one of the most

00:51:15dynamic athletes

00:51:16in the industry

00:51:17today,

00:51:18a two-time

00:51:19Tag Team

00:51:20Champion

00:51:20in NXT.

00:51:22Fabian

00:51:23Eichner

00:51:23is ready

00:51:24to embrace

00:51:26his redemption

00:51:26here in TNA.

00:51:30There is no doubt

00:51:31Fabian Eichner

00:51:33has a tool set

00:51:35second to none.

00:51:37You've said it

00:51:38before,

00:51:38one of the most

00:51:39dynamic athletes

00:51:40in the game

00:51:40today,

00:51:41but he's gonna

00:51:42have to bring

00:51:43every tool out

00:51:44of the toolbox

00:51:44to take on

00:51:46a legendary

00:51:47competitor

00:51:48like Eddie

00:51:48I'm very curious

00:51:50to see how

00:51:50Edwards

00:51:52navigates

00:51:52this matchup.

00:51:53These two have

00:51:54never faced

00:51:55each other before

00:51:56and Eichner

00:51:58has been in the

00:51:59shadows for the

00:52:00better part of

00:52:00a year and a half.

00:52:01So,

00:52:02if you were in

00:52:03Edward's shoes,

00:52:04how do you even

00:52:04scout a guy like this?

00:52:06Yes,

00:52:06you look at what

00:52:07he did in the past,

00:52:08but Eichner has

00:52:08a chance to write

00:52:09a whole new chapter.

00:52:10And I would hope

00:52:11that's exactly

00:52:11what Eichner plans

00:52:12on doing.

00:52:13He's taking this

00:52:14opportunity to bring

00:52:15something new

00:52:16to the table

00:52:16because Edwards

00:52:17Edwards has seen

00:52:18just about everything.

00:52:19If I'm Eddie Edwards,

00:52:20I'm trying to rush

00:52:21fast,

00:52:21I'm trying to rush

00:52:22hard.

00:52:23I absolutely

00:52:23obliterate as much

00:52:24as I can,

00:52:25but that's gonna be

00:52:25hard when Eichner's

00:52:27got you tied up

00:52:27like this.

00:52:29Edwards putting

00:52:29himself between

00:52:30Eichner and

00:52:31Cedric Alexander.

00:52:32Remember last week,

00:52:33Eichner got past

00:52:34the entirety of the

00:52:36system and nearly

00:52:36choked out the

00:52:37X Division champion

00:52:38this first night,

00:52:39officially signed

00:52:40to TNA.

00:52:42Off the middle

00:52:43road,

00:52:43there's a crossbody.

00:52:46Eichner sending

00:52:47Edwards to the

00:52:48outside and

00:52:49Eichner looking

00:52:50strong out of

00:52:51the gates.

00:52:52Impressive start

00:52:53for Fabian

00:52:55Eichner here.

00:52:57On the move.

00:52:58Went for the

00:52:58baseball slide.

00:52:59Edwards able to

00:53:00evade.

00:53:00Ducks underneath

00:53:01the clothesline.

00:53:02Oh my God.

00:53:03Eichner lighting

00:53:04up the chest.

00:53:10What a clothesline

00:53:12by Eichner.

00:53:16Hard hitting

00:53:16action right in

00:53:17front of us.

00:53:18Let's take a look

00:53:20back.

00:53:20Watch this crossbody

00:53:22smooth as silk

00:53:23and twice as

00:53:24devastating as

00:53:25Fabian Eichner is

00:53:27taking control of

00:53:28this matchup.

00:53:29It's Alicia Edwards

00:53:31on the outside

00:53:31trying to get the

00:53:32attention of Eichner.

00:53:33Oh and Edwards

00:53:35takes him off his feet.

00:53:37Great timing there

00:53:38from Eddie Edwards.

00:53:40Little love from his

00:53:42ride or die.

00:53:43Don't hurt either.

00:53:46face first goes Eichner.

00:53:48The system still relishing

00:53:50in the fact that

00:53:51they've captured the

00:53:52TNA World Tag Team

00:53:53titles.

00:53:54Remember it was

00:53:54Myers and Bronson

00:53:56who took the titles

00:53:57from the Hardys

00:53:58when they were less

00:53:58than 100% back

00:54:00at Rebellion.

00:54:01And then Cedric

00:54:02Alexander breaking

00:54:04Leon Slater's record

00:54:06dream just a few

00:54:08weeks ago.

00:54:13And it was on that

00:54:14night as Fabian

00:54:15Eichner made his

00:54:17presence known to

00:54:20Cedric Alexander in

00:54:22the system but Eddie

00:54:23Edwards may obliterate

00:54:26the dreams of Eichner

00:54:28before they've even

00:54:29come to fruition here

00:54:30in TNA Wrestling.

00:54:35Shoulders 10.

00:54:36Kick out of one

00:54:37there by Eichner.

00:54:38This has been a

00:54:38hard-hitting matchup

00:54:39but I think it's

00:54:40about who we expect.

00:54:42You're going to have

00:54:43to be if you want

00:54:44to come in

00:54:44Eddie Edwards.

00:54:46It's a classic

00:54:47come at the king

00:54:48kind of situation.

00:55:59that Edwards

00:56:00and the system

00:56:00put Moose

00:56:03it very clear

00:56:08Big boot

00:56:11of urgency here

00:56:12trying to collect

00:56:28here in TNA

00:56:28and this is not

00:56:43Driving him

00:56:43throat first

00:56:44into the middle

00:56:45rope.

00:56:46Welcome to

00:56:47the impact

00:56:47zone,

00:56:48brother.

00:56:54Eichner

00:56:56dealing with

00:56:57the Edwards

00:56:58family

00:56:58and also

00:56:59dealing with

00:56:59the system

00:57:00immediately

00:57:01upon arriving

00:57:02here in TNA.

00:57:02He's been thrown

00:57:03right into the

00:57:04deep water.

00:57:05It's a bold move.

00:57:06They said coming

00:57:07out at the end

00:57:08of that exhibition

00:57:09title.

00:57:09Wait a minute.

00:57:12Kendra the

00:57:13Kendo stick

00:57:13in the hands

00:57:15of Alicia Edwards

00:57:16and her

00:57:16referee Paige

00:57:17Prince of Alley

00:57:18knows what the

00:57:19Edwards are up to.

00:57:24She's just

00:57:24holding it.

00:57:27Intent to harm

00:57:28Raywell.

00:57:29Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:57:29Oh, come on.

00:57:31Alicia Edwards

00:57:31has been banned

00:57:32from ringside.

00:57:36She didn't even

00:57:36swing it.

00:57:39Intent to harm.

00:57:41If that's

00:57:42one that they

00:57:42should have

00:57:43kicked me out

00:57:43a long time ago

00:57:44sitting next to you.

00:57:46I wish

00:57:47you would get

00:57:47kicked out.

00:57:49Eddie Edwards

00:57:50is going to

00:57:50have to truly

00:57:51go down his own.

00:57:52Not that he

00:57:52hasn't before.

00:57:55But how many

00:57:55times has

00:57:56Eddie Edwards

00:57:56relied on his

00:57:57wife for distractions

00:57:58throughout matchups

00:57:59and the history

00:58:00of the system?

00:58:02Nonetheless,

00:58:03Edwards,

00:58:03a two-time TNA

00:58:04world champion

00:58:05for a reason.

00:58:06There's Eichner

00:58:07quick.

00:58:07It's a cat

00:58:08up to meet

00:58:09Edwards.

00:58:10All the way

00:58:10up top.

00:58:11Look at this!

00:58:13Butterfly

00:58:20Diehard

00:58:21indeed

00:58:23from Eddie

00:58:24Edwards.

00:58:25But man,

00:58:30Eichner.

00:58:32Oh, wait a minute.

00:58:33There's the rest

00:58:34of the system

00:58:35clad in gold.

00:58:36Bronson,

00:58:37Myers,

00:58:38and Alexander.

00:58:40That's how

00:58:40the system works.

00:58:41You lose one,

00:58:42you gain three.

00:58:44Now,

00:58:44Eichner

00:58:44charging after

00:58:46Edwards.

00:58:46Eichner

00:58:47took out

00:58:48the rest

00:58:48of the system!

00:58:51Great switch

00:58:52on a dime

00:58:53there

00:58:53from Fabian

00:59:01Edwards,

00:59:02Edwards is on

00:59:03wobbly knees

00:59:03here.

00:59:05Hold on a second.

00:59:07This is what

00:59:07Eichner did to

00:59:08Alexander last

00:59:09week.

00:59:10He calls this

00:59:11La Fina.

00:59:12Is he gonna

00:59:12make Edwards

00:59:13tap out

00:59:14in his first

00:59:15TNA match?

01:01:41oh we saw the men compete in this scenario to open this show tonight now we get to watch

01:01:48the knockouts compete in this unique scenario for these all-star tna knockouts get a chance to

01:01:56uh maybe score a pinfall over a current champion and earn themselves a future title shot but elena

01:02:03black be one of those all-stars she has had her eye on the tna knockouts world championship ever

01:02:09since signing with his company back in january black has been on a winning streak as of late as well

01:02:25next from liverpool england zaya brookside

01:02:32zaya brookside meanwhile has made it abundantly clear she wants to take the tna knockouts world

01:02:37championship from her former best friend the current champion playing league

01:02:44knockout division the competition keeps growing higher and higher the vitriol keeps growing higher

01:02:53and higher it's a powder keg scenario that just might explode in this matchup in this main event right

01:03:00here tonight

01:03:05curious to see how brookside and black work with their tag team partner

01:03:19and their tag team partner accompanied by keith jardine from duke city new mexico

01:03:31it was a pleasure to have the mma legend the team of main keith jardine is our guest recently live

01:03:38on

01:03:39impact maura and jardine both hail from albuquerque new mexico and jade asked jardine to keep an eye out

01:03:46for the elegance brand antics two weeks ago mr elegance got in the face of keith jardine luckily

01:03:55keith was spared a embarrassing beat down by our local security here and uh and it remains in one

01:04:02piece but wants to get his eyes closed on some tna wrestling action i see it the other way around

01:04:09i think

01:04:09the security is saying ladies and gentlemen speaking of which let's go i am the personal cociers

01:04:19you know i noticed on my way here a lot of homeless drunks throwing up all over themselves

01:04:29quite sad actually and then i got here to the building and i realized huh they let you all in

01:04:42so i have decided to bring some beauty and class to this dump syracuse so please welcome

01:04:52the elegance brand we're in sacramento you overgrown turtle

01:04:58well geographically challenged or not the personal concierge of course is right this is the most

01:05:04elegant this is the peak these people and that includes you are disgusting and two that this is

01:05:11the most elegant brand this is obviously the most attractive beautiful talented thing that sacramento

01:05:18has ever seen they come in here at united front as knockouts tag team champions they're gonna make ash by

01:05:27elegance proud they're gonna make the entire brand proud here tonight ash champions the champions challenge

01:05:35ash is on excursion meanwhile heather and em by elegance are you're right right run away run away keaton

01:05:44heather and em are reigning tna knockouts world tag team champions their current reign stands at 133 days they

01:05:51have not defended the title since no surrender in february by the rules of the champions challenge match

01:06:01if either of them gets pinned tonight whoever gets that pinfall could elect to have a tag team title

01:06:07shot in the future so that would be a disaster for heather and em they'd actually have to defend their

01:06:11titles i don't think they're worried about that i mean what other cohesive team what are they worried

01:06:16about what are they worried about what are they worried about i mean making their next nail appointment

01:06:20making sure their skin is glistening and supple shut up

01:06:44and their tag team partner from chong chi china she is the team a knockout world champion

01:07:00playing link in our second brain as tna knockouts world champion but she is going to have to deal

01:07:07with her former best friend giant brooks i here in the champions challenge i have to try to keep her

01:07:13emotions in check keep this all down to business as well as coexist with the elegance brand as her

01:07:20partners a lot of unlikely teammates in these matchups the knockouts champions challenge match

01:07:28about to get underway could an all-star secure a title shot we're going to find out next

01:07:37we are back here on tna thursday night impact on amc inside the 100 year old sacramento memorial

01:07:46auditorium in northern california this is the champions challenge match leying lee the knockouts world

01:07:52champion starting things off against zaya brookside who wants no part of her former best friend

01:07:59zaya brookside maybe thinking strategically here

01:08:04trying to get in uh trying to play this whole line games thing play this whole thing

01:08:10at her own pace with her former best friend leying lee

01:08:15but this is the thing about these champions challenge matchups against some odd pairings some

01:08:20unlikely teams both zaya brookside and elena black basically giving it to mara shade here

01:08:28we saw the men's champions challenge earlier on tonight casey navarro an all-star pinned the reigning

01:08:34tna international champion mustafa ali navarro has earned himself a future title shot we're on that

01:08:45champions challenge if any of the tna all-stars pin any of the champions could happen here cover and a

01:08:51kick out then they will receive a future title shot oh at whatever champion they pin if either of the

01:08:57tag

01:12:50the knockouts champions challenge our shot a taking it to one half of the knockouts tag team champions and

01:12:59remember if one of the all-stars pins one of our champions they get themselves a future title shot

01:13:11trying to take out one of the standing champions one of the tag champs heather by elegance and a kick

01:13:20out

01:13:20tremendous opportunity for the all-stars in this annual event here for us here at tna

01:13:27for example of shot a she can pin heather or m by elegance here oh and the tag team champions

01:13:35working

01:13:36well together to the supplies of no one here's the cover of the code breaker to kick out by shot

01:13:42a

01:13:42he's gonna say if and now it's a much bigger if but if somebody can pin the tag team champions

01:13:47in this

01:13:48matchup they and a partner will get that same title shot but now it is the tag team champions who

01:13:56control

01:13:57the matchup and rocking shot egg is still to come next week here on tna thursday night impact on amc

01:14:28unbelievable night next week but we gotta see who's gonna walk out of here with potentially a future title shot

01:14:35of some kind

01:14:35but i don't know if that's gonna go down with the elegance brand and ray wall running this match i

01:14:41have

01:14:41to say the elegance brand isn't really giving laying lee much of a chance to tag into this match like

01:14:46why

01:14:47would you off the sentai here's the cover and the cover and kick out by shot a they're the tag

01:14:53team

01:14:53champions they're actually unlike laying lee they're good tag team partners for one another unlike laying

01:15:00leaders i at brookside

01:15:03shot a time played off m by elegance m who has been stellar throughout this matchup and again it does

01:15:10not shock me that the reigning two-time tna knockouts will tag team champions heather and m are having

01:15:16success in this six knockouts tag it is a tag team matchup at the end of the day look at

01:15:22this oh it was

01:15:23fantastic well they like him or not the elegance brand is in control and shot a got the right shoulder

01:15:28up

01:15:28it was beautiful it was elegant to that point this was before the commercial break m going coast to

01:15:35coast the set up by heather the personal concierge has told me they call this toast to toast that is

01:15:41why

01:15:42she is one half of the knockouts tag team champions these two are a dynamic duo a perfect pair

01:15:51look at it look again m staring down lee as she tagged in this is personal it's not personal it's

01:16:00just

01:16:00business it's sending a message just because you're knockouts world champ you don't run this matchup

01:16:05leave the tag team expertise to the tag team

01:16:12mara shade was accompanied to ringside by the mma legend her fellow albuquerque new mexico native keith

01:16:19jardine who was our guest a few weeks ago live on impact and jardine dealt with the bs of the

01:16:25elegance

01:16:26brand and is out here to watch shot ace back well the presence of uh of the dean of mean

01:16:32doesn't

01:16:32exactly seem to be doing any favors right now tomorrow shot a like seven times that the elegance brand

01:16:38have not given lee a chance to tag in look out oh and a cross body there by shot a

01:16:43that is a rare opening

01:16:45that mara shade has now is able to take both tag team champions off their feet

01:16:57wants into this matchup i think the elegance brand have to suck it up and suck up the pride and

01:17:04make the tag

01:17:05and they have to desperate times and all shot a tags in brookside and now brookside preventing lee

01:17:12from getting into the matchup but heather knows she has to make a tag here comes the reigning

01:17:17knockouts world champion lighting up her former best frat maybe ooh it's got to be a part of this

01:17:25that feels good for laying lee kick to the head of elena black

01:17:35one two three four right and down hammer fists

01:17:4020 yeah

01:17:42a dell exploder by the champion

01:17:54trying to put away the knockouts champions challenge in a kick out by zaya brookside

01:18:01the fortitude of the knockouts world champion up under the shoulders is it time for the

01:18:09Warriors way laying away with complete control connects with the Warriors way on it's broken

01:18:19up by Elena black great teamwork there from Elena black unlikely as it may have been the

01:18:24all-star team realizes that they don't score a pinfall no one gets a future title shot out of this

01:18:30with codebreaker into the German by the elegance brand great teamwork there oh

01:18:36Sade putting heads together oh and a day-to-day team on the go-getter

01:18:44great counter work there from Sade now turning her attention to the champ

01:18:53oh there's mr elegance trying to dive into the ring and keep jardine has a hold of mr elegance

01:20:08take a look back here at the conclusion of the knockouts champions challenge brookside had

01:20:14lead by the hair mr elegance got involved and then this gnarly ddt we've seen before
