00:00Another challenge has been laid out for Tomorrow Night Live on TNA Plus in San Antonio, Texas for Victory Road.
00:09The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, from Tampa, Florida, Heather Reckless.
00:18But first, tonight here in Louisville, Kentucky, it's the first match for Heather Reckless, officially as a part of the TNA Knockouts Division.
00:28It's always exciting to have new talent join one of the best, no, no, the best women's division in all of professional wrestling.
00:36Excited to see what Heather Reckless brings to the table and to this division.
00:41Her opponent, from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, she is the quintessential knockout, Giselle Shaw.
01:06Well, it was last week here on TNA Impact that our broadcast colleague, Gia Miller, was interviewing Heather Reckless.
01:17That was interrupted by Ash by Elegance and the personal concierge.
01:21Ash told Gia that she was wasting her time interviewing Heather Reckless last week and the division should be focused instead on Ash by Elegance.
01:31Meanwhile, the personal concierge said, if you want to be successful, you should be watching Ash by Elegance.
01:37Well, in stepped Giselle Shaw, who told Ash to show some respect to Heather Reckless and actually slapped Ash by Elegance.
01:44I love that part.
01:46That was absolutely, you know me, I love Giselle Shaw, I'm all about the quintessential knockout, but that was a step over the line.
01:54And quite frankly, the personal concierge was right.
01:59I sign a respect here from Shaw to Heather Reckless.
02:02If you're going to come into a division like this, if you want to come into a division with this much talent, you should.
02:08You should be watching some of the best, like someone who maybe, oh, I don't know, just competed multiple times for the knockouts world title like Ash by Elegance.
02:16I understand that.
02:17Still, Ash by Elegance interrupting the interview of a person who is just signing to this company.
02:23It was announced in that interview that Heather Reckless was signing with TNA Wrestling.
02:27I mean, it's tactless.
02:30Oh, it's uncouth.
02:31You want to talk about uncouth?
02:33How about smacking someone unprovoked?
02:36How about that?
02:37So now you're going at Giselle Shaw.
02:38Interesting.
02:39I didn't like it.
02:40No, this is not the Giselle Shaw that I like.
02:43I think Giselle Shaw has turned over a new leaf this year here at TNA Wrestling.
02:47The influence of the TNA Hall of Famer, Gail Kim, has helped her turn things around.
02:52She shed the chaunterage earlier on this year.
02:55Don't remind me.
02:56That TNA knockouts world title shot she had at No Surrender.
02:59Hold on.
03:00And a kick out against Jordan Grace really changed things for her, changed her perspective.
03:04Whoa.
03:05Now Reckless trying to get the win.
03:07Either way, it would be a huge boon if Heather Reckless could come in here and get a win over Shaw.
03:12Shoulders down and a kick out.
03:14Reckless.
03:17These two faced each other last year.
03:20Shaw was able to get the victory there.
03:22Heather Reckless at the time was not officially a part of the roster.
03:26And down goes Shaw.
03:30Heather Reckless managed to hang on to that head scissor round and round she went.
03:38Now in her official debut, a win would be very, very key.
03:43But Shaw here, look at the power.
03:47Raw strength from Giselle Shaw.
03:52Planting Heather Reckless center of the ring.
03:55There's the cover.
03:56Hook to the leg and a kick out.
04:00Now there is no denying that Giselle Shaw is one of the hardest hitting, hardest working knockouts that we got.
04:10But there's someone like Ashby Elegance who's putting her time in this business as well as just being absolutely magnetic and eye catching and attention drawing and spotlight stealing.
04:25I could go on for almost minutes on end here, Tom.
04:29But they deserve their respect too and should be in the eyes of Heather Reckless.
04:37Shaw with a series of uppercuts there.
04:39Another one, corkscrew uppercut, hook to the leg on Heather Reckless and a kick out.
04:48Heather Reckless showing some of the toughness that helped her get a contract with TNA Wrestling.
04:53There's no doubt about it, but I hate to say it, it would be a little reckless to ignore the potential influence of Ashby Elegance.
05:01Heather Reckless trying to get back up to her feet here.
05:09Managed to break free of Shaw, but Shaw quick to shut down Reckless here as the pace picks up again.
05:17Look out!
05:18What a DDT by Heather Reckless.
05:21And look who's joined us, Ashby Elegance and the personal concierge.
05:31Of course.
05:32Want to get a perfect view of our newest knockout in action, I'm sure, no doubt about it.
05:38And also the person who physically assaulted her.
05:42Calm down there.
05:43Listen, there's a lot happening amongst the knockouts tomorrow night at Victory Road live on TNA+.
05:49The Militia are scheduled to defend the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles against Spitfire.
05:53The medical status of Alicia Edwards is still in question for that matchup.
05:57However, if Spitfire loses, they must disband.
06:00And also, we found out earlier on this week, Jordan Grace will be defending her Knockouts World Championship against NXT's Wendy Chu in the Juggernauts' home state of Texas at Victory Road.
06:13Action back and forth here.
06:16Continuing lockout.
06:18Crossbody there by Heather Reckless.
06:25Can you imagine the great advice someone like Ashby Elegance could give to Heather Reckless as she gets started here in the Knockouts division?
06:33Drop toe hold, face first, and a middle turn lock on.
06:36Now, the moonsault out of the corner and a kick out.
06:39Heather Reckless, very impressive tonight.
06:42Showing up and showing out in her official debut here.
06:47Sure, Ashby Elegance, good pointer towards the best Manny Petty location in Louisville, Kentucky.
06:52Does that exist?
06:54Not based on the people I'm seeing at ringside.
06:56And look out, though.
06:58Caught. Caught by Giselle Shaw.
07:02Off the rebound.
07:03Oh!
07:05Little Canadian Destroyer action there.
07:08Cover.
07:10Oh, and a kick out by Shaw.
07:13At the last possible second.
07:16Even Reckless cannot believe it.
07:23That was incredibly impressive by Heather Reckless to improvise there and hit the Canadian Destroyer.
07:29Incredible counter move there.
07:31But now, Shaw's still in this.
07:34Heather's got to look for a new finishing shot here.
07:39Shot right to the midsection.
07:41Uppercut there.
07:43Went for a cutter.
07:44Middle of the ring.
07:45Shaw, big spine buster.
07:48Stacking up Heather Reckless and a kick out.
07:52And this is where the nasty side of Giselle Shaw can come out.
07:56Look at this.
07:57Shock and awe now by the quintessential knockout.
08:00Lanted.
08:01Oh, and Heather Reckless is staying in this match.
08:05Giving Giselle Shaw a run for her money here.
08:10Shaw now starting to get frustrated.
08:12Got to keep the cool.
08:14Got to keep calm.
08:15Got to keep collected.
08:24And Giselle Shaw pointing towards the turnbuckles.
08:27Thinking about going high risk.
08:31Oh, wait a minute.
08:32What the hell is the personal concierge doing up on the apron?
08:35And Ash by elegance.
08:36We're going to send a message.
08:38Like I said to the person.
08:39Oh, she's trying to do it again.
08:40Oh, and Ash by elegance slapping Giselle Shaw.
08:44A little payback from last week.
08:46That's right.
08:47The official never saw it.
08:48And look out.
08:49Reckless strikes.
08:50Heather Reckless.
08:52She calls that wrecked.
08:55Heather Reckless wins against Giselle Shaw.
08:59Here is your winner, Heather Reckless.
09:03Heather Reckless has won her first match as a part officially of the TNA roster.
09:09That is a huge win for Heather Reckless.
09:13And on top of that, we got blessed by the presence of Ash by elegance as well.
09:19What a night for that knockout.
09:23Giselle Shaw is going to be furious about this.
09:28Ash by elegance was already furious with Shaw.
09:31I feel like this is only the beginning between these two.
09:40Ash by elegance believes the focus should be on her.
09:43She certainly drew something tonight.
09:45Congratulations go out to Heather Reckless.
