00:00Joe Henry is clearly not forgotten, Josh Allenton recalling him a shot at the TNA world title
00:09at SNAMMiversary.
00:10The following contest is never a one fall and it is for the TNA knockouts world championship.
00:11Introducing first from Austin, Texas, she is the reigning and defending TNA knockouts
00:12world champion, the sugar daughter, Jordan Allenton.
00:13And speaking of world titles, it was this past weekend at Emergence that Jordan Grayson
00:36Spitfire picked up the win at a six knockouts tag team matchup live on TNA plus and it was
00:42announced earlier this week that this coming Tuesday night, for the first time ever, the
00:47TNA knockouts world championship will be defended on NXT by Jordan Grace and an open challenge.
00:54That is if she is successful tonight.
00:58Once again, Jordan Grace is set to hold an open challenge for her championship.
01:03Can she secure her 15th successful defense of the championship?
01:08Who's going to step up to the juggernaut tonight?
01:15Ladies and gentlemen, answering her open challenge, oh my, we have a guest, good evening, everyone.
01:36I know you all wanted to be me answering this open challenge, but I am here because
01:55I have some exciting news.
02:01You are looking at the new liaison between NXT and TNA.
02:10It is my duty to make sure everything runs smoothly during this beautiful collab.
02:21And so as liaison, I will now introduce the challenger.
02:28She is gold blooded.
02:31She is a karate queen.
02:34And honestly, she's one of my best friends, introducing Carmen Petrovich.
02:47What a double dose of surprise here in the impact zone, Carmen Petrovich joins the likes
02:59of Tatum, Axley and Izzy Dame as NXT stars who have crossed the line here into TNA to
03:07challenge Jordan Grace for the Knockouts World Championship.
03:14Carmen Petrovich has been a rising star in TNA and then what a way to really set things
03:21up.
03:22If you could bring the TNA Knockouts World title back to NXT with you, but the juggernaut
03:28is going to be one hell of a contest.
03:31We have a new liaison between NXT and TNA.
03:35How lucky are we?
03:36Curious to see how Santino Morello thinks about Ariana Grace's presence, but right now
03:41the present is all about the Knockouts World Championship.
03:45Carmen Petrovich about to challenge Jordan Grace.
03:50This will be a very interesting mixing of styles here again.
03:56We know the speed, the ferocity of the juggernaut, but if you paid attention to NXT and a little
04:01bit here and look at this, a sign of respect from the champ herself, well, Carmen Petrovich,
04:09a martial artist at heart, competed actually for the Canadian national team in martial
04:15arts.
04:16Going for a sleeper here early on, a series of exploratory strikes there, it seemed.
04:21Diverse MMA background for Petrovich.
04:28Kick right to the face of Jordan Grace, and looking on, there's Rosemary who appeared
04:33on NXT this past Tuesday night, furthering her bond with Wendy Chu, it appears.
04:38Rosemary recently challenged Jordan Grace for the Knockouts World title in an open challenge.
04:44That back elbow and the spine buster now stunning Petrovich.
04:47Here's the cover, hook to the leg and a kick out at two.
04:51This Knockouts World Championship match, this open challenge is just getting started.
04:57Jordan Grace defending against NXT's Carmen Petrovich.
05:01It continues picture in picture.
05:06Another open challenge from Jordan Grace answered by another of NXT's standouts and Carmen Petrovich
05:14is going for a ride.
05:16The ball flanks and a kick out by Petrovich.
05:22There is absolutely no denying the pace, the brutal pace that Jordan Grace quite frankly
05:29has put upon herself by invoking all these open challenges, etc.
05:35There is nothing short of impressive.
05:37You're a former champion in NXT, so how would you handle something like this, this barrage
05:42of open challenges?
05:43Step one, I wouldn't do it.
05:46That's the key.
05:47I just don't do it.
05:48To be fair, sometimes it's thrust upon you, but to Jordan Grace's credit, most of these
05:53open challenge defenses especially have been her idea, her request to TNA.
06:00Look at this.
06:01Trying to figure four ahead of Jordan Grace.
06:08Here's Petrovich with a tight figure four here.
06:13Trying to squeeze the air out of the juggernaut, but look at the strength of Grace right back
06:19to her feet.
06:20Another human being on her shoulders trying to squeeze the life out of her.
06:26Electric chair drop there by Grace.
06:37Jordan coming back to life here.
06:40Always having to think on her toes, pushing herself.
06:43That has been Jordan Grace's M.O. for years now.
06:46Pushing herself to physical limits, to mental limits in wrestling, in bodybuilding, in life.
06:53Petrovich dumped by Grace with the power slam.
06:59Look, I've been dumped by a lot of women in my life, but never quite like that.
07:05Ooh, nasty kick though to the back of the head of the juggernaut.
07:08Shoots half.
07:09Here's the cover and a kick out by Jordan Grace.
07:13Great agility and athleticism there by Petrovich to spin the leg all the way back around.
07:19Basically, the heel of the boot connected it looked like with the face of Grace.
07:22I feel like that's going to have to be her method of operation here to take down the
07:28juggernaut.
07:29Well-placed strikes.
07:31Hit up right side of the chin.
07:32Try to really knock the juggernaut loopy because you're not going to go strength for strength.
07:36You're not going to go power for power.
07:39Ooh.
07:40World's strongest slam.
07:43Fatal bomb attempt.
07:45Petrovich able to avoid it.
07:48Oh, and now the petrifier by Carmen Petrovich.
07:53Look out.
07:54Face first.
07:55Is this enough to capture the Knockouts World Title?
07:58And a kick out by Grace.
08:00That was incredibly close as Petrovich tries for the Knockouts World Title.
08:06What an effort tonight for the Knockouts World Championship.
08:11Jordan Grace putting out yet another open challenge in defense of her title.
08:15It's been answered by NXT's Carmen Petrovich.
08:19And now the juggernaut getting back up to her feet.
08:23Ooh.
08:24And once again, looking on from high above here inside Old Forces Paris Town Hall in Louisville,
08:29there is Rosemary watching this Knockouts World Title match.
08:33I shudder every time we see Rosemary just lurking from the rafters there.
08:39Powerbomb by Grace with authority.
08:42Nearly drove Petrovich through the damn ring.
08:48The late, great Sid Vicious would be proud of that.
08:51Petrovich would be proud of that powerbomb.
08:53Oh, my God.
08:56That is Grace in her wheelhouse.
09:00Now able to take control of this matchup once again.
09:04Hit hard, hit fast.
09:14236 days for Jordan Grace in this, her third Knockouts World Title reign.
09:20Second only to the TNA Hall of Famer Gail Kim in total days
09:26as a Knockouts World Champion in this company.
09:30Now Petrovich with these educated feet going to work now.
09:34Spinning heel kick.
09:35There's the cover kick out by Grace.
09:37The way she just manipulated Jordan Grace out of the corner with just her legs.
09:43That's the kind of discipline that not every wrestler has.
09:48We've talked about it for a while.
09:49The pace of the juggernaut has been attempting to maintain with these open challenges.
09:53When is it going to catch up to her?
09:55I was just about to ask that question out loud myself.
09:58I will never question, to her face, the work ethic, the intensity of Jordan Grace.
10:04But at the end of the day, she's still flesh and blood.
10:07She's only human.
10:08Something at some point will have to give, but I don't see it yet.
10:12Hold on, Petrovich missed with the kick.
10:15And now going for the juggernaut driver, middle of the ring.
10:18But Petrovich tucked her leg behind Grace's and blocked it.
10:22Nice counter.
10:23Petrovich obviously did her homework.
10:25Something Jordan Grace not quite able to do, given it was an open challenge.
10:29Another series of strikes by Petrovich.
10:32Now charges it.
10:33Grace and a spinning back fist.
10:38And that rocked Carmen Petrovich.
10:42Up onto the shoulders there for just a minute.
10:44And this one was blocked by Grace with a hammer fist.
10:49That sent Petrovich all the way to the mat.
10:51And now, Grace putting her challenger up into the high rent district here.
11:02Jordan Grace going to the second rope here in Louisville, Kentucky,
11:06inside the impact zone, in defense of her Knockouts World Championship.
11:15Now Petrovich has a little bit of space here against the champion.
11:18Cross body.
11:19Down goes the champ.
11:22Now looking to line up Jordan Grace.
11:25But no!
11:26Oh, caught with the juggernaut driver.
11:30Another one falls to the juggernaut.
11:33Here's your winner, and still TNA Knockouts World Champion, Jordan Grace.
11:40The streak continues.
11:43The pace does not relent for the juggernaut.
11:49Jordan Grace.
11:52Another successful defense here.
11:55And an open challenge.
11:57The Knockouts World Champion has proved to be unstoppable.
12:03Time and time again, Tom.
12:07What the hell?
12:13What the hell?
12:16What the hell?
12:17What the hell?
12:18What the hell?
12:19What the hell?
12:20What the hell?
