00:00action as Mila Moore faces Ziya Brookside.
00:03Explosion starts now.
00:05♪♪
00:14The following contest is set for one fall.
00:17Introducing first, from Long Island, New York,
00:20Mila Moore!
00:22Tonight on TNA Explosion, we're in Tampa, Florida,
00:25set for knockouts action.
00:27Mila Moore ready to go one-on-one
00:29with the angel of the ring, Ziya Brookside.
00:32Oh, and you know I'm excited to see my girl.
00:37Now, this isn't the first time we've seen Mila Moore.
00:40She has had a couple opportunities
00:42within the knockouts division,
00:43but she's here to set a new tone for herself here tonight.
00:49Certainly will have the height and size advantage
00:52against Brookside.
00:54Current winner, from Liverpool, England, Ziya Brookside!
00:59It's great to see a smile back on the face of Ziya Brookside,
01:03considering what we saw recently on Impact,
01:05the wedding of PCO and Steph DeLandre.
01:08Yes, PCO and Steph did get married that night in Montreal,
01:12but it was a disaster.
01:14And yet still the most successful pro wrestling wedding
01:17that's ever happened.
01:19Theoretically.
01:20At least in this competition.
01:22At least in this company.
01:24The honeymoon that we saw play out last week on Impact
01:28was also a nightmare.
01:30Yeah, less than stellar.
01:32Not what a lot of people wanted to see.
01:34But I'm so excited to see Ziya Brookside!
01:37You listen to that music.
01:39It says, I am where I belong.
01:42She has found her home.
01:44Not just here in TNA, but in the knockouts division.
01:48And she's only just getting started.
01:50I mean, the sky, no pun intended, is the limit.
01:54Well, really, it's not the limit for the angel of the ring.
01:57You're going to be unbiased in this match, right?
01:59Oh, of course.
02:00Of course.
02:00That's just my best friend.
02:02You are pulsating and radiating in a way
02:05I did not know was possible.
02:07Calm down, woman.
02:08Women support women.
02:09Knockouts support knockouts.
02:10No, that's a wonderful thing.
02:12I get that.
02:13Such a thing as an unbiased journalist.
02:15All right.
02:16All right.
02:16I'll call it down the middle.
02:17Right now, Ziya's in control.
02:20I'm just going to sit this one out.
02:22You go ahead and call it.
02:23Oh, and a drop kick there by Brookside,
02:25sending Moore into the corner.
02:30Oh.
02:30Now, Moore able to turn it around.
02:32Brookside onto the top turnbuckle.
02:35A left for a cross body caught by Moore.
02:38Now, there's that size advantage you mentioned.
02:40Oh, shoulders down.
02:42Oh, and a kick out there by Mila Moore.
02:46Ziya Brookside, her first match in this company
02:48was in Ultimate X back at Hard to Kill
02:51in January in Las Vegas.
02:53We will see the return of Ultimate X at Emergence
02:56on Friday, August 30th, live on TNA Plus in Louisville,
02:59Kentucky.
03:01The X Division Championship will be on the line that night.
03:03You can get your tickets now via TNAwrestling.com.
03:08Oh.
03:10I believe Mila Moore had a hold of the hair.
03:16Able to take control that way.
03:18Referee Daniel Spencer admonishing Mila Moore.
03:25Now, Brookside from the second rope.
03:27Went for the cross body and given down it this time.
03:29Moore shoulders down and a kick out.
03:40Ziya doing her best to stay on top of Mila.
03:43Oh.
03:45Out of the corner.
03:46Oh, and a big clothesline by Mila Moore.
03:53That has put Ziya Brookside down.
03:55And I have to ask your conversations
03:56with Ziya Brookside, the fallout from the wedding of PCO
03:59and Steph DeLandre.
04:01How is Ziya feeling about all this?
04:02Oh, a double stomp right to the spine.
04:05There were a lot of tears after that wedding, of course.
04:08I mean, there's always tears at a wedding,
04:10but not the kind that we saw.
04:12And I think Ziya was just as heartbroken as Steph DeLandre
04:17that Matt Cardona would come out and ruin Steph's big night.
04:21Something that, I mean, Ziya really
04:23helped to initiate the relationship
04:26between PCO and Steph DeLandre.
04:28She encouraged.
04:29Cover, cover.
04:30To the leg and a kick out by Brookside.
04:32She encouraged Steph DeLandre to give him a chance.
04:35And once it all came together so beautifully,
04:38and then Cardona just had to ruin it.
04:43Back elbow there by Brookside.
04:49Oh, look at this.
04:50Going for head scissors here.
04:51Trying to hold back.
04:52Going for the octopus.
05:03Oh.
05:06Cover.
05:07Hook to the leg and a kick out.
05:15Oh, face first into the top turnbuckle.
05:20Oh, Brookside having a lot of trouble here right now.
05:22All right.
05:22I don't know if she's going to be able to make it
05:24to the after party at the TNA Hall of Famer's house,
05:27Gail Kim, here in Tampa, Florida, after Explosion.
05:29I'll tell you that much.
05:30We'll get her some ice, and my girl can rally.
05:32I mean, I'd be upset.
05:33I wouldn't necessarily want to hang out with Gail.
05:37Well, I don't know who wouldn't want
05:39to hang out with Gail Kim.
05:41Well, they say Gail gave you the wrong information
05:43or something like that, you know?
05:45Gave you the wrong address.
05:46Oh.
05:47You think we don't know where she lives?
05:49Oh, big clothesline.
05:51Now Brookside able to level Mila Moore.
05:57Off of the ropes.
05:59Oh, wait a minute.
06:00Down goes Moore.
06:01And Brookside has got the fans behind her in Tampa.
06:06Mila Moore went head first into that mat,
06:08but now it's time for Xia to capitalize.
06:12Double knees.
06:13Version of broken wings.
06:16And that leaps into the neck breaker.
06:19Moore is down.
06:20Oh, to the inside leg.
06:21And a kick out.
06:22Brookside can end the matchup.
06:24Not yet.
06:26Not yet.
06:26Have some faith in my girl.
06:30I mean, it could be anybody.
06:31It could be anybody's match, is what I mean.
06:33Time for the kick to the head there.
06:34Moore able to duck it.
06:37And now Moore.
06:37Oh, that leg drop right across the midsection.
06:40Is it enough to end the night for Brookside?
06:43And a kick out.
06:46A little frustration on the face of Mila Moore.
06:48Yes, I spoke with her earlier today.
06:50And one thing she's certainly not lacking in
06:52is self-confidence.
06:55Oh, double knees right to the face.
06:58And so anytime things don't go her way.
07:00Cover.
07:01Oh, and a kick out.
07:02She tends to get a little frustrated.
07:05Now Zaya Brookside.
07:06You can see that grit and determination on her face.
07:11Trying to control the larger opponent.
07:13And again, Moore going back to smart strategy here.
07:16Just using her size and strength against Brookside.
07:18Sure, absolutely.
07:21Kick right to the face.
07:22Uh-oh.
07:22Now Zaya.
07:24Brookside bomb.
07:26Cover.
07:28Zaya Brookside puts away Mila Moore.
07:32Here's your winner, Zaya Brookside.
07:36This is where she belongs.
07:39And she belongs on top of the knockouts division.
07:42And this is just the beginning.
07:46An excellent victory for Zaya Brookside
07:49tonight on TNA Explosion.
