00:00You know what, Tasha Steeles?
00:03The quintessential knockout, Giselle Shaw,
00:05has beaten you on impact, one-on-one, fair and square.
00:11And you literally had to steal the pin from me
00:14at Slammiversary.
00:17But you know what, Miss Thing, Miss Flava?
00:20It ain't over yet.
00:24Up next, it's our Explosion main event,
00:27as Giselle Shaw goes one-on-one with Tasha Steeles.
00:30That's next.
00:35Welcome back to TNA Explosion, and we are
00:37now set for your main event.
00:39I want to be great.
00:48I want to go to my place.
00:49To be the best you got.
00:50This all might seem a bit different,
00:52but I'm introducing first, from the Brick City,
00:56the Brick World Battle, Tasha Steeles.
01:02Well, tonight is an opportunity for Tasha Steeles
01:05to prove that the victory she got on the countdown
01:08to Slammiversary this past weekend was indeed earned.
01:12I don't know if I'd go that far.
01:14However, it was a fatal four-way match-up with no countouts
01:18and no disqualification.
01:19It was, and the victory was for anyone to take.
01:22But if you ask Giselle Shaw, that victory was hers.
01:25Ultimately, it was Tasha Steeles who scored the victory
01:28down the stretch.
01:29Giselle Shaw hitting that day-new mom.
01:31Xia Brookside and AAA's Fabi Apache were also involved.
01:34It looked like Shaw was about to win the match-up,
01:37and then Steeles swooped in and took it.
01:39Yes, she did.
01:40And Giselle is here to settle that tonight.
01:52Her opponent, from Whistler, Ontario, Canada,
01:55the quintessential knockout, Giselle Shaw!
02:00Now, for Shaw, it was such a great opportunity
02:03on the countdown to Slammiversary,
02:04which you can watch back anytime on demand on TNA+.
02:07Shaw and the rest of the field saw that as an opportunity
02:11to, A, get an important victory on one of TNA's biggest stages,
02:15but also maybe make the case for title contention.
02:18Steeles walked away with the victory.
02:20Shaw now trying to prove that the one-on-one victory
02:24she had a few weeks ago on Impact against Steeles
02:27was true, that she is capable of beating
02:29Steeles one-on-one again.
02:31Absolutely, and you said it right there.
02:33She's out to prove something.
02:35You know, before Giselle's leave of absence,
02:38she felt like she had left a lot of unfinished business
02:41before she was very easily ready to kind of leave things
02:46behind and move on to whatever she
02:48thought would serve her next.
02:50But now, she's turned over a new leaf.
02:52She's turned over a new leaf, and she is ready to finish
02:55all the business, and she's going
02:56to prove that she is what she says
02:58she is, the quintessential knockout.
03:00And she's going to do it one by one.
03:03Steeles showing a lot of disrespect for Shaw.
03:05No surprise there, Gia.
03:07That's kind of how the barique with badass rolls.
03:09And now, Steeles on the move, trying to avoid Giselle.
03:14Shaw trying to dive into the ring.
03:15Shaw nearly got her hands on Steeles.
03:18Went for the elbow drop there, and Shaw
03:20was a little too quick.
03:21Oh!
03:22Oh!
03:23Oh!
03:23E-gad.
03:24Giselle!
03:25Giselle!
03:26Giselle!
03:27Hell hath no fury like a Giselle stormed.
03:29Oh!
03:30Ain't that the truth.
03:32We were sold out last weekend right here
03:34inside the Verdun Auditorium in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
03:37for Slammiversary, TNA's highest attended
03:40event in over a decade.
03:44And it was that four-way that kicked the night off.
03:47Oh!
03:48Corkscrew uppercut by Shaw.
03:49Here's the cover.
03:50Hook to the leg, and a kickout by Steeles.
03:53These ladies started the night off on the countdown
03:56to Slammiversary, and what a way to set
03:59the tone for the evening.
04:00I mean, it was an incredible night all around,
04:03and these ladies weren't short on it.
04:07Oh!
04:08Boot right to the face.
04:09What an eye of action last night on impact.
04:12Matt Hardy and the ABC defeating the system.
04:14Certainly a system breakdown at Slammiversary.
04:17That's a story we're going to keep an eye on.
04:19And the new TNA world champion, Nick Nemeth,
04:24is prepared now to defend his championship
04:27for the first time against the former X-Division champion,
04:30Mustafa Ali, on this coming week's edition of Impact.
04:34And that will be the boom!
04:37Shoulder first into the post went Shaw.
04:39The first time that the world title has been defended
04:42on Impact since November, it was Alex Shelley
04:46defending against a challenging Jonathan Gresham.
04:48That was an excellent match in Chicago.
04:51Nick Nemeth is bound to be a fighting champion.
04:54Anyone from anywhere is welcome to step up
04:57and challenge him to the title.
04:59And with the way that wrestling is right now,
05:02who knows who's going to answer that call?
05:06Serious elbow drops by Steeles after Shaw went into the post.
05:09Here's the cover.
05:10Steeles is taking control here against Giselle Shaw.
05:13So a huge TNA world title match coming up next week.
05:16And also, love will be in the air, Gia.
05:20Oh, I'm so excited.
05:22I love wedding.
05:24The wedding between PCO, the French-Canadian Frankenstein,
05:28and Steph Dillander will happen right here in Montreal
05:31on Impact this coming week.
05:36And now Steeles with a draping DDT to Shaw.
05:39Oh, my goodness.
05:40Giselle was just stacked right there.
05:42She's in trouble right now with a kick out.
05:44Right on top of her neck.
05:45I was worried that was going to be it.
05:47But like I've said before, this is a different Giselle Shaw.
05:51She's got a lot more fight, and it's
05:53because it's coming from a different place now.
05:57A lot of positivity instilled in Giselle Shaw
06:00by the TNA Hall of Famer, Gail Kim.
06:02Absolutely.
06:03Giselle says she's in her lover era,
06:06but clearly no love for Tasha Steeles.
06:09Don't know that many people that have love for Tasha Steeles.
06:12Tasha Steeles.
06:13Tasha Steeles has love for Tasha Steeles.
06:14Tasha loves Tasha.
06:15Oh, now Tasha going for the crucifix bomb there.
06:19Calls it the blackout.
06:20Oh, the strength of Giselle Shaw.
06:25Driving Steeles spine first into the canvas.
06:28Watch this again.
06:29Look at the strength of Shaw.
06:30Denies the blackout, and then bam, down goes Steeles.
06:34Wow, that is just one of the reasons
06:36she is the quintessential knockout.
06:39She's got athleticism, she's got beauty, and she's got power.
06:44Oh, there's some of that power, case in point.
06:47Big right hand delivered to Steeles.
06:50Knockin' the taste out of Tasha's mouth.
06:52How's that flavor for ya?
06:53A lot of questions following slammerversary.
06:55Who would be next to challenge
06:57for the TNA Knockouts World Championships
07:00held by The Militia?
07:01Who would be next to step up to the juggernaut,
07:03the Knockouts World Champion, Jordan Grace?
07:06Opportunity for both these women to stand out.
07:08Oh, and a spear by Shaw.
07:11And now Shaw, measuring Steeles.
07:17Full Nelson into the backbreaker, face plant.
07:20Calls that shock and awe, shoots the half.
07:22Here's the cover.
07:24Steeles able to stay in this.
07:29Giselle Shaw, she never ceases to give just that.
07:34Shock and awe.
07:37Now up onto the shoulders,
07:38reminiscent of Chris Saban's cradle shock,
07:41trying to set that up.
07:42Oh.
07:43Uh-oh.
07:44Now, like the Tasha Steeles,
07:45oh, reminiscent of Alex Shelley's sliced bread
07:48there for a moment.
07:51Motor City Machine Guns,
07:52you'll see their influence everywhere.
07:53Absolutely.
07:56Now, in her hands,
07:57she's got the power of the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
08:00She's got the power of the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
08:04Now into the corner.
08:06Oh, and the tornado DDT by Steeles.
08:10There's the cover.
08:11Shoulders down.
08:12Oh, and Shaw staying alive.
08:13Not just yet.
08:21Steeles, who's had two
08:22Knockouts World title shots this year.
08:26Shaw, who challenged Grace for the title
08:28back in No Surrender in New Orleans earlier on this year.
08:31That's what sparked this change here.
08:33There's the cover.
08:34Oh, shoulders down.
08:36Steeles.
08:37Steeles had a lot of room and then Shaw.
08:40Oh, here's your winner, Tasha Steeles.
08:46Well, a victory for Tasha Steeles,
08:48but as we said at the start,
08:50I think there's gonna be some more unfinished business
08:53between these two Knockouts.
08:55Steeles took the win from Shaw
08:57in the Countdown to Slammiversary,
08:59and tonight, Tasha Steeles cheated
09:01to beat Giselle Shaw on Explosion.
