00:00wait even longer for her entrance and there she is a woman who has continued a family legacy to
00:11the highest degree the undeniable diamond tessa blanchard the inaugural and thus far dominant
00:18owa women's champion being accompanied as always by the intoxicating and the vindictive mila moore
00:25many could argue that tessa blanchard is the most talented woman in our sport but those same people
00:32could also argue she is absolutely vicious as she is elite this is just a total powerhouse in an a
00:40-lister
00:41in professional wrestling all over the world you want to talk about mind games like mila moore
00:46isn't tall enough without the heels certainly an intimidating woman to say the least and she has
00:52attached herself to the hip of tessa blanchard and mila's career has only grown since aligning
00:59herself with tessa blanchard in tna and we certainly have a colossal contest tonight
01:06for the owa women's title and back to joe dombrowski for the introductions
01:14introducing first the challenger to my right from the 412
01:26she is a world record holder and undefeated in power slap this is dynamite
01:47and to my left first she is accompanied by the bombshell mila moore
02:03and she represents from charlotte north carolina she is the current reigning and defending
02:11owa women's champion la gringa de mas mexicana the undeniable diamond tessa blanchard
02:27both of these women tessa and mila moore have uh very justifiable monikers
02:34in uh everything that joe dombrowski just said about them is true and i don't mean to put over
02:39dombrowski certainly hard to argue that and you look at the history of the owa women's championship
02:44it goes back to july in owa new orleans triple threat match and there it is tessa blanchard
02:51danny moore and persephone now the current cmll women's champion a classic triple threat and danny
02:59moe mark came within an eyelash multiple times during that match of becoming the inaugural champion
03:04tessa ended up coming out on top and since she has defended against a who's who to maintain this
03:10title reign harley hudson the spark jada stone cali and tita and now quite frankly this is a match that
03:19fans have been waiting for for almost a full calendar year danny moe has been chomping at
03:23the bit to get another opportunity at this title
03:29and tessa blanchard
03:33classic blanchard mentality classic blanchard actions there
03:39well it's the champions advantage obviously danny moe is going to need to pin tessa in the ring
03:46or i guess get a submission we've seen uh bigger bigger things happen i don't know if uh if uh
03:53if
03:53that would be uh it would certainly be a major upset if we saw danny moe get the uh get
03:58a submission
03:59victory here over tessa blanchard but it goes to show you when you talk about persephone danny moe
04:04uh and tessa these are this is the very top of the sport internationally certainly the upper echelon
04:11no doubt about that and tessa blanchard and persephone had an absolute war for cmll's historic
04:17u.s broadcast in las vegas danny moe also had an incredibly busy weekend
04:22yes as the uh ring introduction just said undefeated in power slam she is 1-0 thus far and it
04:29was a
04:29dominant performance and tessa blanchard wanting no part of the challenger here early on and the
04:35pittsburgh fans letting blanchard have plenty right now
04:41mila moe actually quoted as saying earlier today that no one in pittsburgh has ever seen
04:47two women as beautiful as them and as a pennsylvanian i take a little bit of offense to that
04:52but nonetheless difficult to argue their point tessa getting inside to break the count i did not
05:00see any hair pulling tessa blanchard master tactician she learned from the absolute best
05:07her legendary father tully the name synonymous with the history of professional wrestling and
05:13once again you know you have to question this mark is this blanchard having an absolute attitude
05:18or is this all part of the strategy i don't think those things are mutually exclusive it's to get in
05:24the head of danny moe and it's also because tessa loses her own head quite frequently
05:31and you want to talk about the highest of heights this was in may 2024 almost two years ago
05:35when danny moe competed on kalapatar in nepal the himalayan mountains near mount everest over 18 000
05:43feet above sea level without question a record being broken in the sport of professional wrestling
05:48there isn't anything danny moe's not willing to do great crucifix here and danny moe able to roll through
05:53with momentum
05:56and look how quickly blanchard gets back in the ring and establishes control she is so technically precise
06:03danny moe certainly has the champion scouted
06:06quick roll up here by the champion she's got the tights and danny moe able to use that core strength
06:12to roll through
06:14yeah danny moe as jcw women's champion also had an incredible record of taking on all comers she's
06:21been embroiled in a feud with alice crowley and on again off again friendship we now oh another pin
06:29attempt there but tessa reverses it in a hurry great transition there and of course we're going
06:33to see alice crowley in action tonight taking on a very enigmatic very mysterious woman in tara
06:39zep that match could go any possible way that could be very dangerous look at the athleticism here
06:45of danny moe perfect way to transition to get back on her feet there and now moe charging in with
06:52a
06:53forearm
06:55nailed tessa the challenger clearly wearied in the corner now
07:01danny moe knows what it's like to make history in many ways a boot
07:06right to the mush of blanchard she was also the inaugural women's champion for battleground winning
07:10that match in the historic 2300 arena now danny moe picking up momentum here basement drop kick connects
07:17immediately into a cover new owa women's champion no tessa able to kick out at two it's going to take
07:23a lot more than that but a leg drop connects smart of danny to keep following up and trying to
07:29get the
07:29pin this isn't uh an opportunity uh for just showboating and getting the better of tessa
07:35there's a championship on the line and danny's here to win it
07:39and now danny moe charging in could be looking for that padded uh could be a moonsault perhaps
07:45and boom connects a stalling moonsault another cover and every single cover is making it more
07:52exhausting for blanchard danny moe showing off that balance and core strength in the corner there and
07:57then yeah coming down with that waterfall over tessa and you're absolutely right every time tessa
08:04kicks out she's exerting a lot of energy and essentially bench pressing danny moe off of her
08:09and all that was that's clearly mila more on the outside come on right in front of the referee yeah
08:14absolutely the official caught it danny moe certainly took umbrage to it but tessa blanchard
08:20wasting no time getting the advantage striking from behind and this is what the diamond collective is all
08:26about power in numbers decimating opponents and just like that when blanchard starts to get the
08:32advantage very difficult endeavor for the challenger you don't want to be fighting from underneath
08:38against tessa though every challenger is in a sense when you're in there with a champion but
08:44when tessa smells blood i mean look already going right after the armadini moe
08:52and to tessa's credit whether or not she has won via underhanded fashion to defend this title
08:58she has put on incredible performances oh and then danny moe reversal here tessa sending her right back
09:06inside the ring back in march jada stone took blanchard to her absolute limit but nonetheless the
09:12champion retained looking to retain once again and danny moe able to kick out another pin attempt here
09:18danny moe wisely gets the shoulder up again yeah i think that referee better watch out
09:24tessa just gave him some side eye ref just doing his job there
09:31tessa going to pick apart yet another limb already working on the arm now going for the leg as well
09:37and one of the many things that makes tessa as great as she is as you can see utilizing the
09:42full
09:42five count here the official admonishing there tessa can win in so many different ways she can
09:49choose to pick a body part and slowly destroy it case in point it appeared she was going after the
09:54left leg the hamstring of danny moe she could continue that danny moe's explosion is her biggest
09:59weapon she still holds cal use indoor pole vault record she is one of the best athletes in our sport
10:04tessa blanchard knows it you certainly want to do whatever you can to uh take away danny's slapping
10:12hand well danny moe definitely has a powerful right hand as we saw in power slap not to mention
10:19the way she likes to throw hands and now blanchard slowing things down here very methodical
10:25we thank you for joining us here live on unbeaten over 1000 live sporting events every single year
10:33all throughout the world unbeaten is truly your home for lives oh you want to talk about a power slap
10:41well i'd love to see tessa step up and do it then next slap week why don't we see tessa
10:47get in there
10:48and and go slap for slap with some of some of the best athletes danny moe is struggling right now
10:54in front of her hometown tessa knows it
10:59that's a bad situation there is no weakness in the game of tessa blanchard other than perhaps her
11:05own hubris but right now she's in dominant control the left knee is affected and she's going right
11:11back to work could be going for a leg lock can she hook it in got her all tied up
11:18so close danny moe
11:20knows it's coming once tessa's got it locked in she can go anywhere she wants and do anything she
11:25wants to danny watch tessa's not done yet no tessa has learned from the absolute best and there's a
11:32powerful right hand softening up the challenger danny moe pittsburgh's own danny's got a lot of
11:39fight left in her she's not giving up but oh oh my god double underhook into a submission
11:43this is cutting off the circulation of danny moe here but wisely danny moe knows exactly where she's
11:50at in the ring able to grab the second rope yeah that's great ring awareness from danny moe but how
11:54much damage has already been done here and now this clearly engaging in games of distraction here
12:03with the referee tessa clearly already has an advantage in this match the referee knows
12:10mila moe holding that title could spell bad news as tessa blanchard continues the attack you have to
12:16wonder how long it will be until tessa holds gold and tna as well well former tna world champion as
12:25in
12:25the men's title yeah probably the most notable thing in tessa blanchard's career that everyone knows about
12:31her had an incredible run at the very top of tna at the beginning of 2020 not to mention one
12:38of the
12:38top stars in cmll right now also former triple a reina to reina's champion crash women's champion
12:44she's been tearing it up in mexico for the past couple of years and continuing to just wear down
12:51danny moe tessa blanchard doesn't need to go for style points she wants to embarrass danny moe in front
12:58of her home city danny is out breaks from the clutches of tessa but for how long
13:05not a lot of power left in the knee and hamstring of danny moe able to get the boot up
13:11slight reprieve
13:13what can danny moe do here clothesline connects struggling to put weight on the left leg trying
13:17to get a little bit of feeling back in here can danny moe finally mount some offense here getting
13:22some quick strikes in with both her legs and her arms oh there's a nice receipt from when tessa did
13:28it
13:28earlier turnabout fair play and now danny moe oh modified code red there into a cover new champion
13:35no blanchard able to stay in the fight look how quickly danny moe can turn the tide so so close
13:43this is despite all of the damage that has been done yeah to danny moe johnny this still seems like
13:50it's anybody's match no question about that danny moe knows nothing but grit she knows nothing but
13:56overcoming obstacles up in the fireman's carry and now hold on oh mila moe up on the apron this is
14:04too much at this point the official needs to think about throwing her to the back right now oh a
14:09knee
14:11to danny moe and now blanchard over the top into a splash and the champion looking to retain danny moe
14:17just able to stay in the fight referee now going to admonish mila more quite a bit of damage already
14:29been done here well he already made mila drop the title there in the corner justifiably so and now tessa
14:37uh oh precarious position here danny moe on the top a right hand
14:45pivotal moment of this matchup here mark awesome suplexes run in tessa blanchard's blood danny
14:51needs to block it any way she can here
14:56since mila moe got involved early on danny moe has been trying to fight her way back in it going
15:02for a
15:02sunset flip power bomb tessa wise to it couldn't quite get her footing there oh tessa worse for
15:10wear danny gets the better of that exchange hold on oh what a counter here by tessa blanchard
15:16face first into the top turnbuckle goes danny moe now blanchard charging in full speed hold on
15:24oh my god mitchinoku driver by danny moe new champion no tessa came down hard right on her head
15:33and for wow all of the spunk all of the tenacity of danny moe and obviously a gas tank to
15:39wrestle on
15:40top of a mountain tessa has the experience advantage here of essentially having been born into pro wrestling
15:46but you think about danny moe she's pulling out tricks from her tool belt we don't always see
15:51case in point right there reversal by the champion oh gets caught with another big boot
15:57how much explosion does danny moe have left on the leg certainly losing some quickness and now another
16:02slap oh god takes danny moe with the magnum into the cover after hitting the magnum and danny moe stays
16:11alive tessa blanchard has won many matches with the magnum double knees
16:20an absolutely airtight arsenal by blanchard but you can't always defeat will you can't always defeat
16:28hart and that's what danny moe has tessa's getting frustrated at this point she thought she would have
16:35put danny away a long time ago it seems look there's a lot of personal issues between danny moe and
16:41tessa
16:41blanchard as well now blanchard looking to pick up speed moe catches her with a boot and now oh moon
16:50missed twist the moon missed into the oh come on mila moe with the foot on the rope how many
16:56times
16:58how many times
17:02this crowd has seen enough i think danny moe has seen enough
17:08mila moe needs to get her heels stolen she needs to get thrown to the back
17:16this may end up getting physical right here on the apron
17:20the officials had enough at this point oh hold on he catches tessa blanchard in the active was that
17:25an eye poke i think mila moe poked danny moe in the eye oh no power bomb ref's back was
17:32turned into the
17:33cover and the champion retains again here is your winner and still owa women's champion tessa blanchard
17:50and like so many times before the diamond collective shines again in the most disgusting way possible
17:59mila moe kept finding ways to get involved waited for the perfect opportunity when the official had
18:06his back turned a blatant poke to the eye danny moe had no idea what was coming at her
18:12regardless the record books will show another successful
18:17title defense here tonight from tessa blanchard in pittsburgh the owa women's champion remains
18:24the undeniable diamond we'll be right back on unbeat
