00:00The following contest is set for one-twelve.
00:07Introducing first, being accompanied by Masha Slambage.
00:11She is one half of the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship.
00:16Alicia Edwards.
00:1948 hours before a Knockouts World Tag Team title defense at Slammiversary.
00:24We want to look back to what happened three weeks ago.
00:27It was Masha Slambage of the Tag Team Champions one-on-one with Zion Brookside.
00:32The interference by Alicia Edwards ultimately helped Masha to hit the snowplow and put away Zion Brookside.
00:39So tonight, the angel of the ring is looking for some payback on Alicia Edwards.
00:45We know that on the countdown to Slammiversary live and free on TNA Plus and TNA's social and digital platforms.
00:53We will see the Knockouts World Tag Team titles defended, the militia defended, and Spitfire.
01:00The countdown to Slammiversary begins at 7 p.m. Eastern.
01:04Special one-hour edition of the countdown to Slammiversary.
01:09Your opponent, from Liverpool, England, Zion Brookside.
01:17Can we just congratulate Alicia Edwards on being so popular?
01:21She has so much attention from the Knockouts.
01:24Roger Spitfire clamoring for their tag title rematch, etc.
01:28Zion Brookside dying to get back in the ring.
01:31That is the kind of shadow Alicia Edwards casts on this division.
01:35Whatever you say.
01:36Speaking of the countdown to Slammiversary, this Saturday, starting at 7 p.m. Eastern,
01:42Zion Brookside will be in action as a part of a Knockouts Fatal 4-Way matchup.
01:46It will be Zion Brookside, Giselle Shaw, Tasha Steeles, and AAA's Fabi Apache.
01:52We've seen in a ring in this company in the last few years.
01:55There will be some great action in Montreal.
01:57Sold out for Slammiversary.
01:59And at the same time, Zion Brookside has had her proverbial finger on the pulse, no pun intended,
02:05of the budding relationship between Steph DeLandre and PCO.
02:09They've been apart, but Zion tells me there's love here.
02:12What would you know about love?
02:14Very little, but still.
02:16Zion tells me that what's happening between STL and PCO is real.
02:21It's weird. It's freaky.
02:23And sometimes that's what love is.
02:25But at that, oh!
02:26Right now, Zion Brookside's gonna get something a little weird and freaky here from Alicia Edwards.
02:32In terms of pain.
02:33Knockouts action here.
02:35Still to come tonight, we are gonna hear from the reigning Knockouts World Champion, Jordan Grace.
02:40I had a chance to sit down with her earlier today before her defense this Saturday.
02:44Live on pay-per-view in TNA Plus in Montreal against Ash by Elegance at Slammiversary.
02:52A huge opportunity for Ash by Elegance to turn the Knockouts division on its head.
03:01Ash by Elegance, who's on vacation right now, by the way.
03:03Who is preparing for Slammiversary, Tom.
03:07Here's the cover.
03:08Shoulders down and a kick out.
03:10Jordan Grace kept on fighting, being a defending champion, a fighting champion.
03:14And Ash by Elegance decided to put her feet up on a beach in the Bahamas.
03:18And those feet are being taken care of.
03:21I don't want to hear about that.
03:22Muscles are being prepped.
03:24Lots of hydration is going on.
03:28Uh-oh.
03:29Went for a backstabber.
03:31I think that got Zia Brookside in the back of the head.
03:36Absolutely nasty fall to the neck.
03:40You know, Tom, we could use a vacation from you around here, quite frankly.
03:44I mean, it's like you're here every week and we can tell.
03:49I can tell you that tomorrow night on TNA Plus,
03:52Explosion will be brought to you by The System.
03:56The System will be all over Explosion 24 hours before Slammiversary.
04:01And I've been told that Alicia Edwards and company
04:04believe it to be a, quote, warm-up for The System.
04:07I'm so thankful for The System.
04:09Me and Alicia Edwards.
04:10The hair of Zia.
04:13Bringing a whole new spotlight to our Explosion program.
04:16I'm jealous I won't be there.
04:18You and Zia bathe.
04:20Shoulders down.
04:21Oh, and a kick out.
04:22And just bask in what The System has for you guys.
04:27Oh, now Brookside.

05:59Oh, and Edwards able to kick out.
06:03A little bit of momentum finally into the corner.
06:05Brookside's going to have to keep her foot on the gas
06:08if she wants to put someone at the level of Alicia Edwards away.
06:13Now, Brookside launches herself into the corner.
06:17Tell you what, NXT's Charlie Dempsey earlier on,
06:20Xia Brookside here of TNA.
06:22If you're a UK wrestling fan and you recall the Golden Boys
06:26from Once Upon a Time, you're smiling ear to ear tonight.

06:54The militia spoiled the 10-minute challenge of Spitfire
06:58recently on Impact.
07:00And now, oh, the double knees by Brookside into the turnbuckle.
07:04Alicia avoided catastrophe.
07:06Great wherewithal there from Alicia Edwards.
07:09And look out.
07:11Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
07:13There's Spitfire.
07:14What the hell?
07:15The challengers for the Knockouts will tag team titles this Saturday
07:20on the countdown to Slammiversary.
07:22Look, I know Masha was about to get involved.
07:25I get it, but this is two on one.
07:27This is ridiculous.
07:28Oh, Brookside focusing on Alicia Edwards.
07:32Who was distracted watching her friend get beaten down maliciously.
07:37Masha was trying to interfere.
07:39Brookside, bomb, cover.
07:41Not like this.
07:44Brookside has pinned one half of the Knockouts tag champs.
07:48Here is your winner, Zaya Brookside.
07:51And Brookside gets some payback on the Alicia from three weeks ago.
07:57Shenanigans all around on this one, Todd.
