00:00The following is a six knockout tag team match introducing team number one, Rosemary and NXT
00:25Wendy Chu.
00:26And right off the top, we begin things with some unfinished business from a few weeks
00:33ago.
00:34They're on impact.
00:35Yeah, that's right.
00:36It was a tag team match between knockouts world champion Jordan Grace and NXT's soul Ruka
00:42as they took on Wendy Chu and Rosemary who you see before you, but they were not the
00:47only players who got involved that night.
00:49Tasha Steeles making her presence known.
00:52Coming into the picture as well, leading to tonight's six knockout tag team matchup.
01:10Their partner being accompanied by Alicia Edwards.
01:13She is the only woman to have Tasha Steeles.
01:17And you can see Tasha Steeles accompanied by Alicia Edwards, their business arrangement
01:22that we saw at Victory Row.
01:24While Alicia was not able to hold out to the knockouts world tag team titles, it appears
01:30Steeles and Edwards, their business dealings continue.
01:34Well, obviously Alicia knows business.
01:36The first lady of the system knows how to get things done.
01:40Tasha Stinevich was not holding up her end of the bargain as knockout tag team champion,
01:46so Alicia Edwards had to know where to go to get things done.
01:50He's the drama king, Matthew Raywaugh.
01:51I'm Tom Hanifin.
01:52We're on our way towards bound for glory.
01:55We're going to be live on pay-per-view and TNA Plus in Detroit, Michigan for our biggest
02:00event of the year.
02:01You can get your tickets now via tix.com.
02:07We are getting started for this huge knockouts tag team match to kick off the events here
02:12tonight on Impact.
02:17Their opponents, first from Moscow, Russia, Masha Slamovich.
02:24I know what we heard a few weeks ago from Jordan Grace saying that all these open challenges
02:29that she has held for her knockouts world championship, Grace said to Slamovich all
02:34this time, I was hoping it would have been you, Masha, to answer one of those open challenges.
02:39Well, there's always time.
02:41There's always time.
02:42You know Jordan Grace is probably not more than what, a couple of hours away from another
02:46open challenge.
02:47She's been on a hell of a run here as knockouts world champion.
03:00From NXT, Soul Rooker.
03:05And as we saw a few weeks ago right here on TNA Impact, the mystery partner that was
03:10at the side of the juggernaut was Soul Rooker.
03:13And what a performance that was that night by Grace and Rooker.
03:17Would have come up with a win, I believe, if it had not been for the interference in
03:20that tag team matchup by Tasha Steeles.
03:23One of the best athletes in the game today, and once again is going to be teaming with
03:29the juggernaut, with the knockouts world champion.
03:41The partner from Austin, Texas, she is the TNA knockouts world champion, the juggernaut,
03:51Jordan Grace!
03:54She is the history maker, and this, her third knockouts world title reign, continues to
04:01pile up accolades.
04:03Jordan Grace now set to tag with Masha Slandon and Soul Rooker.
04:08As I mentioned at the top of the broadcast, we're here tonight inside Skyway Studios in
04:12Nashville, Tennessee, in the wake of the events surrounding Hurricane Helene.
04:16All proceeds from TNA shows right here in Nashville are being donated to Hurricane Helene
04:21relief efforts in Spartanburg, South Carolina, through the United Way of the Piedmont, which
04:26supports families across Cherokee, Spartanburg, and Union counties in South Carolina, where
04:31our television was supposed to occur in recent weeks.
04:35You can visit www.uwpiedmont.org slash unitedforall to learn more about how you can help.
04:43And of course, our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone dealing with the effects of
04:47Hurricane Milton this week.
04:50Right now here on TNA, Impact, NXT's Soul Rooker, Masha Slandon, and Jordan Grace, who's
04:56reigned as champion now for 264 days up against NXT's Wendy Chu, Tasha Steeles, and Rosemary.
05:07A lot of familiarity between Grace and Chu who start off this matchup and picking up
05:12right where they left off at Victory Road, it was Wendy Chu who that night in San Antonio
05:17was challenging Jordan Grace for the Knockouts World Championship.
05:22And the early advantage going to Grace there.
05:27As he said, picking up right where they left off.
05:34World's strongest slam.
05:36Okay.
05:37Feint or bomb, here's the cover.
05:39Trying to end this thing early in a kickout.
05:41That worried Steeles a bit.
05:43And you have to wonder, I try not to wonder if Grace here trying to put this one away early.
05:50Went for the juggernaut driver there on Wendy Chu who got to the ropes, you were saying?
05:54Trying to put my head into the mind space of Rosemary and Wendy Chu.
05:58What is this relationship?
06:00How did this bond form?
06:02Either way, it's freaking terrifying and I'm trying not to think about it.
06:07Rosemary and Wendy Chu have had success on NXT and have certainly tormented Jordan Grace
06:13for a number of weeks here on TNA.
06:16Jordan Grace with eyes in the back of her head makes a tag.
06:19In comes Sol Rooka.
06:21Immediately right to the springboard.
06:24I'm telling you, one of the best athletes in the game today.
06:29Now Rosemary, shoulders down.
06:31Rooka trying to end this thing early.
06:35He's in there with Rosemary, former Knockouts World Champion, not to be trifled with.
06:41Connects right to the side of the head of Rosemary and face first into the canvas
06:46goes the Demon Assassin.
06:48Well, especially when look at this, trying to run.
06:50They got surfing.
06:51Freaking surfboard, a strange gothic surfboard.
06:56Oh, and a kick right to the face.
06:58And much like a surfboard, there's more than one side to it, Tom, as Tasha steals.
07:03Tasha steals, grabbing the hair of Rooka.
07:05Alicia Edwards creating a distraction as Rosemary able to attack Rooka from behind.
07:11And that's what I was saying.
07:13Look at this, a little insult to injury.
07:15Rosemary, as we've seen as of late, is just seemingly like a mind split in half.
07:23Just at war with herself at times.
07:25Wendy Chu trying to almost play referee in that situation.
07:33Sol Rooka in a bad situation here.
07:35The upside down by Rosemary.
07:39Using the bulk of the five count there, our referee Alice Lane trying to break that up.
07:44Every little bit and Sol Rooka here in a bad part of town.
07:50Rosemary got the attention of the officials so Chu could take that cheap shot.
07:54And the tag man, I believe, steals is now legal.
07:56Tasha steals a new business associate of one Alicia Edwards.
08:02Still sporting that egg brace on her road, her valiant road to recovery, I might add.
08:07Still to come tonight, we will see a generational clash in the tag team ranks.
08:12The Hardys face the ABC.
08:14I cannot wait for that one.
08:16Also, we will hear from the TNA world champion, Nick Nemeth, right here in the impact zone.
08:21Also, still to come tonight, stakes for an exhibition title shot.
08:26Put it away, kick out by Rooka.
08:28Kick out by Rooka.
08:29The winner of this triple threat match will earn an exhibition title shot against the champion speedball Mike Bailey.
08:35Next week, it's Jason Hodge versus Leon Slater versus Laredo Kid.
08:40Speedball Mike Bailey is going to join us on commentary for that matchup.
08:43And also still to come tonight, how appropriately here in Nashville, we'll revisit the main event of Slammiversary 2022,
08:50which went down right here in this city.
08:52Eric Young battles Josh Alexander, some bad blood from a few weeks ago here on impact.
09:00Mike Bailey is going to wear shoes when he's on commentary, right, Tom?
09:02We're going to find out.
09:03You make sure about that, right?
09:05Watch out.
09:06Ooh, the neck snap to Rooka.
09:10There's the cover, hook to the leg and a kick out.
09:15Tensions are running high with Bound for Glory right around the corner.
09:21You have to imagine that everybody in this matchup, every knockout in the locker room,
09:25always has a target on the back of Jordan's race.
09:29Masha Slamovich.
09:30You know, those two, they went head to head at Bound for Glory a couple of years ago.
09:35It's a hell of a match.
09:36We always talk about it, Tom.
09:38It's a match I'm sure we'd love to see again.
09:40Got to revisit that last week on impact.
09:43He bested Bound for Glory.
09:45Oh, look out here, though.
09:46Oh, and now Rooka with a double neck breaker.
09:49Able to get out of dodge there against Rosemary and Wendy Chu.
09:52Hell of a counter.
09:54And now the door is wide open.
09:58Oh, and now Rooka was trying to make a tag.
10:01Rosemary cut that down.
10:06You got to take advantage of those rare openings.
10:10And could another one be right here for Soul Rooka?
10:15Back elbow there.
10:16And now Rooka.
10:17Oh! Soul Snatcher!
10:21Absolutely incredible every time you see it.
10:25And that one drove Rosemary right out of the ring.
10:31What a response for Soul Rooka.
10:34Look at Wendy Chu dumping Rosemary back into the ring.
10:37The tag over to Tasha Steeles.
10:39Oh, and it's Steeles to meet Masha Slamovich.
10:42Slamovich has not forgotten what went down at Victory Road.
10:46Steeles was a last minute replacement for Alicia Edwards
10:49who's not medically clear to compete.
10:51It was Steeles and Slamovich who were set to defend
10:54the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles that night
10:56against Spitfire.
10:57Spitfire in a do or die situation, won the titles.
11:01Steeles and Edwards would attack Slamovich in the weeks to come
11:05blaming Slamovich for the loss of the titles.
11:12Look out.
11:13The Greatest.
11:14Ain't the Greatest just got dumped.
11:18Let's go for that Bulldog there off of the ropes.
11:21Dumped with a powerbomb by Slamovich.
11:24Oh, and Wendy Chu there to break it up.
11:30Things starting to break down.
11:32To the other side of the ring there from Slamovich.
11:36Look out.
11:37Snowplow.
11:39And Chu trying to roll away from harm.
11:42And this really starting to look like the Masha Slamovich
11:45of old there for a second time.
11:47Thumb to the eye.
11:49I completely agree with you.
11:50Slamovich who was extremely dominant in 2022
11:54was undefeated for the first 10 months of that year.
11:57And I'm talking about driver.
11:59Jordan Grace gets the win for her team.
12:05Here are your winners.
12:06Sol Ruka, Masha Slamovich, and the TNA Knockouts World Champion
12:11Jordan Grace.
12:14And look at here.
12:15Masha Slamovich none too pleased.
12:17I think she felt like she had the match.
12:19Jordan Grace tagged in to get the finish.
12:22Something tells me there's unfinished business there.
