00:00We are set for an open challenge for the Knockouts World Championship.
00:07The following contest is set for football, and it is for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
00:16Introducing first, from Austin, Texas, she is the reigning and defending TNA Knockouts
00:25World Champion, the chevron, Jordan Raine!
00:33She has reigned for 208 days, and this is her third Knockouts World title reign.
00:39She has secured 12 successful defenses, the second most all-time in a single Knockouts
00:45World title reign, and on top of that, she has accumulated the second most total days
00:50as a Knockouts World Champion in this company, only to the TNA Hall of Famer, Gail Kim.
00:57So, who will answer the open challenge?
01:03Ladies and gentlemen, answering her open challenge.
01:20From the undead realm, Rosemary!
01:36Oh, this is a twist.
01:39This is a different kind of Rosemary we've been seeing over the last several weeks, and
01:46now she steps up, toe-to-toe, with the Knockouts World Champ.
01:53Oh, look out, look out, Jordan Grace.
01:56Good morning.
01:57There's that butcher's knife that Rosemary's been getting.
02:01She's been threatening the personal concierge with for weeks now, Tom.
02:06That I'm okay with.
02:07Of course.
02:08It was last week on Impact we saw Rosemary get a victory one-on-one, and it was after
02:14the fact.
02:15That was the disturbing thing.
02:16After putting down her opponent, after the bell had rung, it looked like Rosemary nearly
02:20lashed out on her opponent and then left that black rose on her opponent, almost as a calling
02:26card.
02:27And that's the kind of level of loose cannon we're dealing with, with Rosemary here.
02:32She's willing to do that to a random opponent.
02:35What do you think she's willing to do to Jordan Grace to win the Knockouts World title?
02:42Rosemary, a former Knockouts World Champion, multi-time Knockouts World Tag Team Champion.
02:52To my knowledge, these two have never gone one-on-one in this company.
02:58Well, then we're going to see history made here as Jordan Grace continues to do everywhere
03:04she goes, every time she wrestles.
03:12Oh, and Grace was extending a sign of respect there to Rosemary, the veteran, the legend
03:18of TNA in the Knockouts division.
03:20But Rosemary, like an absolute animal, pouncing on the juggernaut.
03:24I thought we were going to maybe see that there was proof of some feelings, some actual,
03:28an actual heart within Rosemary, but apparently not.
03:32Oh, and Rosemary gaining control of the champion early here.
03:37Head scissors here, out on the apron.
03:39Oh, ripping Grace down.
03:42And Daniel Spencer, our referee, breaking that up before the count of five.
03:48Rosemary ripping, bending, tearing the face, the back, the spine of Jordan Grace and now
03:54pummeling away at the Knockouts World Champ.
04:02Rosemary seems wrecked.
04:04I don't know how else to put it.
04:06I mean, we've seen the way she's treated Ash by elegance, the personal concierge almost
04:12hunting them down.
04:13Hold on, was trying to set up there for as above, so below.
04:16That's how Rosemary got her victory last week here on Impact.
04:19Grace felt it coming.
04:21Grace always doing her homework.
04:24We've seen that Jordan Grace is ready pretty much for anyone at any time.
04:28Could Rosemary be the X Factor?
04:32For a second there, it looked like Grace was thrown off because of the aggression of Rosemary.
04:36Rosemary in pursuit.
04:38The Demon Assassin trying to hunt down the champion.
04:44There's the speed.
04:45There's the power of the juggernaut coming into play.
04:50Jordan Grace has been on the tear of a lifetime.
04:53Is cementing her legacy as one of the greatest knockouts in TNA history.
05:00I don't mean that.
05:01One of the greatest women's wrestlers in the sport in general.
05:05Cover off the Vader Bomb and a kick out by Rosemary.
05:09There is no denying the pace.
05:11The schedule of title defenses that Jordan Grace has had is nearly unprecedented.
05:20And this is a rescue run with an open challenge.
05:25Getting the unpredictable Rosemary was trying to set up for the juggernaut driver.
05:29Rosemary able to counter.
05:30Standing switches.
05:31Back elbow by Grace.
05:37Looking for that spear but Grace rolls through.
05:40Went for the spear.
05:43And down goes Grace.
05:47Rosemary had a counter there.
05:49That's the problem.
05:50That's the tough part about these open challenges though.
05:53You can't do your...
05:54There's the spear.
05:57A big spear by Rosemary.
06:00And the champion is down.
06:03This is a huge window of opportunity for Rosemary here.
06:11The wild, unpredictable Rosemary may have the advantage here.
06:15Look again, Tom.
06:16Go for ass above, so below.
06:19This has been an all out blitz by Rosemary on the juggernaut.
06:23You can understand why.
06:25Smart strategy against the dominant champion.
06:31Rosemary, you're right, has been relentless here.
06:33Any chance she can.
06:36Rolls through the TVT.
06:38Is it enough?
06:39Hook to the leg to hold on to the title.
06:41Shoulder up at two.
06:45How do you put down someone who comes from a place called the undead realm though?
06:50That's the question Jordan Grace has to be asking herself right now.
06:55Let's go.
07:00Series of clotheslines here in the corner.
07:08Now look at this, depositing Rosemary up on the top turnbuckle.
07:13Jordan Grace going up to meet her challenger.
07:16Climbing up here looking for a superplex.
07:19All the way from the high rent district here.
07:22Rosemary trying to prevent the disaster here.
07:25Wait a minute.
07:26Is Rosemary thinking about ass above, so below from the top turnbuckle?
07:31She's trying.
07:33And Jordan Grace knows it.
07:36Going all the way up.
07:38Look at this.
07:40The stalling superplex.
07:43But wait, not done yet.
07:46Was trying to set up for the juggernaut.
07:48Jackhammer and a German suplex.
07:50Great counter by Rosemary.
07:54Take another look back at this.
07:56Jordan Grace first with this stalling superplex to Rosemary,
08:01who was able to withstand it.
08:03Look who's here.
08:04And look out.
08:06Now we get a little bit of elegance here in this matchup.
08:10As fine elegance in the personal concierge crashing this knockouts world title match.
08:16These two were watching Rosemary's match last week.
08:19The bravery of the personal concierge to be out here,
08:22considering what Rosemary has done, has tortured him.
08:26Wait a minute.
08:28Ash by elegance has got a kendo stick.
08:32This is a plan.
08:33Well, now concierge distracting the official.
08:37Oh, and Ash by elegance attacking Rosemary with a kendo stick.
08:41The official never saw it.
08:42Oh, this is beautiful.
08:44This is beautiful.
08:45Oh, and now Ash attacking Grace and now Rosemary.
08:52And the personal concierge trying to control the referee.
08:57But has he seen enough?
08:59Daniel Spencer saw what Ash by elegance had done.
09:03Whoa.
09:05Look at this.
09:06This is a different side of Ash by elegance.
09:15She's not all beauty, Tom.
09:16She's bad as well.
09:18Oh, Grace is furious.
09:20Was in the midst of a hard hitting knockouts world title match with Rosemary.
09:29Ash by elegance still has her eyes on the knockouts world title and Jordan Grace.
