00:00Welcome back to TNA Explosion, it is now time for our main event.
00:17The following contest is set for one fall.
00:19Introducing first, from the whole state of Texas, Allie Kach!
00:25Set for action here on TNA Explosion in Albany, New York.
00:30It's been a minute since we've seen Allie Kach here at TNA.
00:34Yes, it has. It's been all the way since September of 2022 in a monster fall match.
00:40Part of a pick your poison sort of situation.
00:42She faced off against Masha Slamovich, but now here she is again to face off against The Flava.
00:48Allie Kach is one of the more dangerous competitors in professional wrestling,
00:52but she's got a deal with the Boricua Badass.
01:05Her opponent, from the Brick City, the Boricua Badass, Tasha Steel!
01:13Recently here in TNA, we saw Tasha Steel get opportunities at the Knockouts World Championship
01:19at the Sacrifice event.
01:21She took part in a triple threat match for the Knockouts World Championship held by Jordan Grace.
01:26Brooke Zion also involved in that matchup.
01:28And then weeks later, Tasha Steel complained that she wasn't the person pinned in that triple threat match
01:35and got herself another Knockouts World title match.
01:38The Juggernaut won that one too.
01:40Indeed she did, but don't forget, Tom, we saw Tasha Steel on Explosion not too long ago
01:45facing Ava Everett.
01:46And initially she was a little bitter about that position, but she said that she really enjoyed
01:53getting to show a new face what The Flava division was all about.
01:58And from now on, any newcomers, they're going to have to step up to the greatest that beats the greatest,
02:03again, in her own words.
02:05Former Knockouts World Champion, former Knockouts World Tag Team Champion,
02:10set to go one-on-one with Allie Kach in a first time ever matchup here
02:14in our Explosion main event.

02:39TNA Plus, you haven't seen anything until you've seen everything.
02:45Bit of a stalemate here early, Gia.
02:47Yeah, so far these two are evenly matched, but I'm really excited to see what both of these women
02:55are going to have.
02:56Oh.
02:58Kach messing with Steeles a little bit.
03:00You're laughing.
03:01That's one thing you have to watch out for.
03:04I know Allie Kach very well, and she uses all sorts of tactics.
03:11But Tasha Steele, she's no stranger to that either.
03:14So, I mean, again, these two are pretty evenly matched.
03:18I'm excited to see what they've got.
03:21Ducks underneath.
03:23Oh, no.
03:24Oh, an elbow right to the back.
03:28And Allie Kach, the larger competitor, has the power and strength advantage
03:33against Tasha Steeles using that to her benefit here.
03:37Oh, and just dumping Steeles.
03:39Hey, listen, I'll say it.
03:40She's bodacious.
03:41She's got that on her side.
03:44Standing power slam.
03:46Splash.
03:47Here's the cover.
03:48Oh, and a kick out by Steeles.
03:52Great action here in Albany, New York.
03:54The next time we'll be hitting the road.
03:56TNA Wrestling will be returning to the greater Cincinnati, Ohio area for two nights of TNA Impact.
04:01Saturday, May 18th, and Sunday, May 19th.
04:04Tickets are on sale now via TNAWrestling.com.
04:08Cincinnati.
04:09It's almost as bad as Columbus, Ohio.
04:12Oh, and a back elbow there by Steeles.
04:15Of course, the next time we'll be live on TNA+.
04:18We'll be Friday, June 14th in Chicago, Illinois, the site of last year's Bound for Glory.
04:25Saturday, June 15th, TNA Wrestling presents Impact in the Windy City.
04:31Heading back to Philadelphia.
04:33In my opinion, the greatest city in the world.
04:35The legendary 2300 Arena for two nights of TNA Impact.
04:39Friday, June 28th, and Saturday, June 29th.
04:43Oh, my God.
04:44Playing a little bongos right there.
04:46Steeles is having her way right now with Ali Kach.
04:51Oh, and an uppercut.
04:54Right to the head of Kach.
04:58Kach is reeling.
04:59Kach is reeling.
05:03There's a cover off the PK, hand in the face, and a power out there by Kach.
05:07And now it's Steeles trying to slow things up here.
05:10Pulling back on the arm and controlling Ali Kach.
05:14Like I said, Tasha Steeles, she's kind of seeing herself as the gatekeeper of the knockouts division right now.
05:21If you are going to try and step.
05:24Kach getting her foot on the bottom rope.
05:26Steeles has to the count of five to break the submission and does.
05:29Tasha says that if you're going to try and step in her division, you've got to step to her first.
05:34And prove that you're worth it.
05:36Prove that you can keep up with the greatest that beat the greatest.
05:40And there's great opportunity right now.
05:42And that they're, at this point in time, is not a clear cut number one contender to the knockouts world champion, Jordan Grace.
05:50Everybody trying to stand out within the ranks of the knockouts.
05:53It's going to a bulldog off the ropes there.
05:55Shoulders down.
05:56Kick out by Kach.
06:00Uh-oh.
06:03There it is.
06:04There's the bulldog.
06:06Cover.
06:07Oh, and a kick out there by Ali Kach.
06:12Seeing a little frustration on the face of Tasha Steeles.
06:16I'm sure she was expecting to make quick work of Ali Kach.
06:20But Ali Kach, she is a quite intense competitor in her own right.
06:30Tasha Steeles, the last time we saw her, you talked about it, against Ava Everett right here on Explosion.
06:36She tried to make short work of that matchup.
06:38Underestimated her opponent.
06:39Don't know if that's the same case here, but still comes in very, very arrogant.
06:44Very cocky.
06:45Sure.
06:46I doubt that she underestimated Ali Kach.
06:48Rather, it's that cockiness, that arrogance.
06:50She believes that she is the greatest.
06:53That no one can beat her.
06:56Now Kach rushes at Steeles in the corner.
07:00Back elbow.
07:02The damage that Steeles has done to Ali Kach.
07:04Able to smoke Kach for a moment.
07:06Wow.
07:10And Ali Kach just dropping Tasha Steeles.
07:13And a window of opportunity here for Ali Kach.
07:18Down goes Steeles.
07:19Look out.
07:20Oh, hip attack.
07:26And Ali Kach.
07:28Oh, the cannonball.
07:30Holy cow.
07:31Was it enough?
07:32Hook to the leg.
07:34Oh, and a kick out by Steeles.
07:36Wow.
07:39One thing I'm really excited about for the first time ever.
07:41TNA Wrestling is going to be live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
07:44TNA's 20th annual Slammiversary live of Pay-Per-View and TNA+.
07:49Saturday, July 20th and Sunday, July 21st.
07:52TNA presents Impact.
07:54Tickets go on sale for that on Saturday, May 25th at 10 a.m. Eastern.
07:59Be at TNAWrestling.com.
08:01Mark your calendar.
08:03Uh-oh.
08:04Look out.
08:05Oh, the draping DDT by Steeles.
08:08Holy gad.
08:10I'm worried about Ali Kach after that one.
08:12Pressing the shoulders down.
08:13Forearm in the face.
08:15And Kach got the left shoulder up in time.
08:17Oh, but look at the pain on the face of Kach.
08:22She's still got something left, but I don't know how much.
08:30This is plain disrespect by Tasha Steeles.
08:33But it looks like it's fueling Ali Kach.
08:36That smile on the face of Ali Kach.
08:40And this is the thing that makes Ali Kach so dangerous.
08:43She can stand in there and throw bombs like this.
08:47A forearm shot there by Tasha Steeles.
08:51A block.
08:52And a kick by Ali Kach.
08:54That's the other thing.
08:56She can withstand a lot of damage and just keep going.
09:01Oh, my god.
09:02Big right there by Tasha Steeles.
09:07And now Steeles.
09:08Oh, a sit-out driver.
09:10Here's the cover.
09:12Oh, and a kick out by Ali Kach.
09:15And a kick out by Steeles.
09:22Ali Kach, she is bringing it to Tasha Steeles.
09:25And, I mean, she's trying to make a statement right now.
09:28She's bringing it to anyone.
09:30Kach trying to sit up for a pile driver.
09:33Steeles able to resist for just a moment.
09:35Oh, one in the cutter.
09:38Oh, look out.
09:40Oh, there's the blackout.
09:42Shoulders down.
09:43Tasha Steeles has beaten Ali Kach.
09:47Here is your winner, Tasha Steeles.
09:50Well, like she said, if you want to step into the Flava division,
09:55you got to step up to Flava herself.
09:58Ali Kach, she made a valiant effort.
10:00But today, Tasha Steeles is the victor.
10:03Tasha Steeles, your winner.
10:05Thank you for joining us on TNA Explosion.
10:13This is sweet, sweet, sweet.
10:14And I really, really like the taste.
