00:06:20and now apropos it could be this man the world class maniac himself etches his name yet again
00:06:33into the history of this company by being the first ever international champion
00:06:39eric young
00:06:46eric young competed on the very first unbreakable event 20 years ago representing team canada
00:06:52in a four-way elimination match for the nwa world tag team titles
00:06:58next from boston massachusetts weighing in at 230 pounds representing the system jdc
00:07:05ever since annie edwards took every member of the system to task a few weeks ago it's been high
00:07:12pressure for the dynasty of tna wrestling can jdc step up to that pressure can he take one step
00:07:20closer to immortality we know that a.j. Francis already has his spot in the three-way matchup to determine the inaugural tna international champion
00:07:27later on tonight Francis defeating mance warner and sammy callahan last week on impact this is a three-way matchup to determine the inaugural tna international champion
00:07:43for later on tonight Francis defeating mance warner and sammy callahan last week on impact i guess i should say uh warner and callahan
00:07:51destroyed each other in that match and a.j. Francis took advantage blocking in his spot and he's the only one tonight
00:07:58who doesn't have to wrestle twice in that final matchup we'll talk more about that at the time but the system could have a hell of a night as well
00:08:07i had a chance to speak with
00:08:31a chance to speak with zachary wentz earlier on today on tna social and digital platforms at the first day all day breakfast q and a with
00:08:38the heart he's asked him what it would mean to him to make history to add his name to his first time champion in the likes of
00:08:44kurt angle a.j styles and gail kim he said well i understand what firsts are all about i'm the first person ever to represent the exhibition championship on wwe television
00:08:55television no doubt about it no doubt about it after he wentz crossed that line crossed that border made that bit of history
00:09:04and wants to add to that legacy here tonight history is on the line at unbreaking
00:09:11wentz a former tna world tag team champion with trey miguel as a part of the rascals the aforementioned x division championship he won late last year
00:09:19is a two-time nxt tag team champion meanwhile eric young has won the tna world title the tag team titles
00:09:26the exhibition title the legends global television king of the mountain knockouts world tag team titles
00:09:31we forget about that old chestnut the nwa world tag team championship king of the mountain in 2016 and gauntlet for the gold in 2022
00:09:38gauntlet for the gold in 2022 so why not add another to the resume the long long resume of eric young
00:09:45remember there are no count outs no disqualifications in a triple threat match first man game pinfall or
00:09:50submission in this matchup in the ring will advance to the final and you could see that uh i guess that sign
00:09:56of respect i don't know between eric young and jdc the veterans in this match or more than a young early
00:10:02early alliance that sometimes happens in these things eliminate one and then you can kind of get
00:10:09it down to a one-on-one contest wentz leaving these guys on a wild goose chase though these are two men in
00:10:17jdc and young who know what it means to work with strength in numbers jdc a part of the system eric young
00:10:24the leader of the northern armory and tom considering these next two matches in this tournament there is a
00:10:32world there is a timeline as lens plays into the uh past of jdc uh by the way jdc slipped me a
00:10:41considerable amount of money to list off his accolades he said i'm a former nxt tag team champion
00:10:46which is right he's a two-time fcw florida tag team champion he said well it's uh mania weekend so remind
00:10:52people that i beat chris jericho at wrestlemania 29. that's all all true wow i would have done that for
00:10:58free but it was a nice check it was a nice check but as i would say there is a world tonight here tom
00:11:05we're in that final two out of three competitors are members of the system which could look very bad
00:11:13for aj francis and to your point eddie edwards in the other first round matchup that we'll see
00:11:18immediately following this match as a matter of fact moves off to the outside by wentz
00:11:23and you hit on an interesting point aj francis has had a week to chill and he was on the countdown to
00:11:30unbreakable was already here in vegas buying property putting down a down payment so to speak
00:11:35oh that absolutely as legit as it gets he feeling good riding into unbreakable again whoever wins this
00:11:43has mere hours to get ready double pin here oh and a kick out and then whoever should win the next
00:11:50qualifying matchup has even marginally less time to get ready for tonight's main event oh caught caught
00:11:58oh and a nice double team there by young and jdc
00:12:03this alliance now paid dividends now for eric young and jdc
00:12:10think about the opportunity at stake to call yourself the first ever tna international champion
00:12:22mentioned some of the names who were first time champions in this company who paved the way of
00:12:27tna hall of famers kurt angle and gail kim the phenomenal aj styles team 3d uh hall of famers were
00:12:34handed the titles that's a whole thing sarita and taylor wilde first ever knockouts world tag team
00:12:39champions and the juggernaut jordan grace the first ever tna digital media champion
00:12:45and all the history books there's only one ever first and that is something you can't take away
00:12:54and uh i don't think wentz is ever going to be able to take these memories out of his head jdc having
00:12:59some fun floats over here's the cover and young breaking it up it's like jdc and wentz go to the
00:13:06same uh barber if you will yeah young i think taking a little exception there with curtis now
00:13:14wentz realizes he's basically in a one versus two situation i mean there's no basically about it it's
00:13:19quite literally oh and a cutter cutter going for a cover here does he have enough time no young springing
00:13:27out of the corner question how long this alliance cover cover by young when swentz able to kick out
00:13:36again at the end of the day it is every man for himself only one can move on
00:13:45oh next snap there by eric young eric young leader of the northern armory
00:13:52oh god who's been desperately trying to reach steve macklin who's on the other side of this bracket
00:14:00in the other qualifying matchup much to the chagrin of steve macklin young made one final offer last
00:14:08week to steve macklin to join the northern armory will macklin make that choice tonight
00:14:13well jdc just teeing off here on west you have to imagine it's all going to depend on how
00:14:20this match to start off our night goes now wentz battling with young on the outside remember no
00:14:26count outs no disqualifications it's entirely legal and a triple threat and he goes there must be a winner
00:14:34oh big open palm strike by young i love the construction of this tournament by our director
00:14:41of authority santino morello all triple threat matches hold on cover cover by jdc to advance
00:14:52young barking supporters they may be thinking not enough punishment has been bestowed upon
00:14:58zachary wentz here these grizzled vets realize only one guy can win
00:15:05as i was saying every match in this tournament a triple threat match an homage to the famed
00:15:10unbreakable three-way that put dna wrestling on the map 20 years ago oh wait wait wait oh and
00:15:17it seems the teamwork's done between curtis and young as jdc going to advance and a kick out i told
00:15:24you not a matter of if a matter of when it would happen and jdc strikes first in that tenuous
00:15:32relationship there oh blistering chop to the chest does you take a look back and here is the moment
00:15:39jdc ended that short-lived partnership with eric young now back to live action after that near fall
00:15:48curtis trying to rip wentz off of the top turnbuckle perhaps thinking superplex
00:15:52i'm still fighting back desperately oh doesn't want any part of that oh straight headbutts here
00:16:00by wentz oh and down goes jdc wentz once again from the top double drop kick to young and curtis
00:16:10and wentz popping back up like a house of fire knows what's on the line here
00:16:17oh knees for everybody by wentz rolling through oh and he's right to young pk
00:16:30and now wentz beautifully done and i caught it wentz is going off is he moving on to the final on a kick out
00:16:39what a barrage an avalanche cover open body here on a kick out incredible offense there from wentz
00:16:47watch this one more time this running shooting star onto curtis realized young was moving hit the
00:16:53cutter that was great strategy but young able to kick out the wherewithal by wentz to then go back to
00:17:00curtis to try and get a pinfall i mean he knows that these times are limited where you're going to have
00:17:04both your opponents down strike while that iron is hot going for the falcon arrow here is it enough to
00:17:13get closer to the tna international title and it's broken up by young young now disposing of jdc on the
00:17:22outside trying to make this a one-on-one contest that's plan numero uno here look at this wentz is all over
00:17:32young
00:17:35up onto the shoulders thinking about a death valley driver middle of the ring
00:17:41cover it in oh and jdc breaks it out
00:17:46eyes in the back of your head are a necessity in this kind of matchup imagine how jdc could
00:17:52endear himself to the system if he walked out of vegas tna international champion eddie edwards
00:17:58as well for that matter system have a dog in the first two fights here but look out uh-oh oh great
00:18:06combination there by jdc and young now center of the ring young with a pile driver jdc is out

00:18:36conclusion of this matchup jdc was dispatched and then middle of the ring bam this pile driver by eric

00:23:24with steve macklin want to take you back to last week on tna impact it was eddie edwards as a matter of
00:23:30fact one-on-one with steve macklin a battle of two former tna world champions alicia edwards got
00:23:36involved at points during the matchup the same with the system every member of the system trying
00:23:40to prove themselves that night now the northern armory rushed down the ringside but eric young
00:23:45held them back that system ring and a boston knee party helped eddie edwards ultimately defeat steve
00:23:51macklin and then this one last offer from eric young for steve macklin to join the northern armory
00:23:58eric young and the northern armory clearly sending a message to steve macklin
00:24:06saying we could have helped you we could be a unit well macklin
00:24:12he has that one last chance will he accept that offer ever
00:24:18macklin getting to face eddie edwards once again after last week on impact macklin has never been an
00:24:25opponent of ace austin's ever before remember triple threat rules no count outs no disqualifications
00:24:32first man again pinfall submission in the ring moves on to the final to declare the first ever tna
00:24:39international champion later on tonight look out ace austin starting fast and furious in this one and you
00:24:47can understand why earlier on today it was chris bay all day the q a with the hardys had a chance to
00:24:52moderate that ace austin getting to see chris bay right here in vegas i cannot tell you how moving
00:24:58it was to see chris bay walking but also the bond between austin and bay no doubt about it have to
00:25:05imagine he feels motivated by that much like all three of these men all of them are feeling motivated
00:25:10they want to etch their name onto that championship that first ever but look out austin soars to glory
00:25:19here in vegas have a look out look out edwards waiting to strike uh-oh oh spine first into the hardest
00:25:29part of the ring eddie edwards with a version of the blue thunder bomb into the point to the apron there
00:25:41and good on edwards heating almost his own words to your point from a couple of weeks ago putting the
00:25:46system on notice has really stepped up has really turned it up to 11 if you will eddie edwards in
00:25:55command right now blasting macklin to the outside again no count outs no disqualifications this is
00:26:00smart by edwards control the high ground control the red we saw it in the previous match two people
00:26:08working together to eliminate one edwards taking a different approach here taking out one opponent on
00:26:14the outside making it a one-on-one contest in the ring
00:26:21fans here in las vegas expressing well they feel regarding the system absolutely filthy sin city
00:26:27indeed blistering chop by eddie edwards who's won just about every championship there is to speak of
00:26:34in this company two-time tna world champion seven-time tna world tag team champion that's tied for first with
00:26:40the cowboy james stork twice an x division champion former ghc heavyweight champion and pro wrestling no one first ever
00:26:48gaijin to accomplish that uh-oh oh and a backbreaker by bulletproof steve macklin
00:26:56macklin coming in like an unchained dog from the floor here and ripping things up
00:27:04by macklin with a clothesline and i was wondering in the early stages of this matchup would macklin be
00:27:09distracted knowing that young has advanced to the final fast press
00:27:17and macklin does not look distracted however
00:27:20macklin who's made it very clear to eric young and everyone he is a soldier of one here
00:27:26a man without a unit and he is willing and ready to fight running but psycho knee yesterday marked the
00:27:35two-year anniversary of steve macklin's tna world championship victory at rebellion 2023 his lone
00:27:45major championship in professional wrestling went all the way to the top of this company like he said he
00:27:50would for many years and look at this look at that austin and edwards hit with a double drumming
00:28:02and to your point macklin doesn't seem distracted doesn't seem
00:28:06shook at all he is locked in oh he's trying to lock in that kia edwards felt it coming sent
00:28:13macklin to the outside and now austin nearly went and joined macklin
00:28:20full-arm blast there by austin it's great wherewithal there saw macklin coming
00:28:28last time he did that handstand he got cracked in the spine by mustafa ali on
00:28:32impact last week mike santana saved him it's awesome one of the most adaptable wrestlers on the planet
00:28:39certainly on our roster showing why he is the inevitable one side rushing leg sweep in the click
00:28:47click boom
00:28:52man who's always got an ace up his sleeve does it spell victory here in vegas
00:29:00down goes edwards long history between ace austin and eddie edwards
00:29:04oh big kick there sending edwards down to the canvas
00:29:09uh-oh oh the face driven into the mat is it enough for ace austin to join the final there's macklin
00:29:17great timing there from steve macklin you have to be aware even on every single cover every single move
00:29:24you make
00:29:30austin and macklin firing off here in las vegas at tna unbreakable
00:29:37it's a slugfest in the center of the ring
00:29:42elbow strike by macklin
00:29:46an opportunity in the final for the international title on the line who wants it bad enough
00:29:53heavy hitting affair here in this final first round
00:29:56oh and a scud it looked like
00:30:01catching ace austin mid handstand careening into edwards
00:30:06we got to take a look back at this look at the ace awesome was going for that handstand
00:30:12macklin saw it careened into everyone and each man is down
00:30:17listen eric young had to fight through two other men just moments ago he'll be in the final later on tonight
00:30:24whomever comes out of this one is not going to be a hundred percent meanwhile aj francis has
00:30:29been sitting pretty he's fresh he's clean he is ready to go
00:30:37how eddie edwards deposited on the top turnbuckle
00:30:40but if there's any man who knows what it's like
00:30:45to fight through less than ideal conditions his entire adult life it's that man they call him
00:30:51bulletproof for a reason tonight he plans on proving it and look at this
00:30:56wait a minute what is in the mind of macklin
00:30:59well edwards is trying to get out of it hold on maybe think about an olympic slam here off to the top
00:31:05oh my god ace austin's got control and everyone goes down
00:31:09what are you willing to do to live forever
00:31:31austin scrambling for a cover on edwards to move on to the final oh and a kick out there by edwards and
00:31:37raywald macklin was barely moving you saw the cover literally on top of macklin as you take a look
00:31:43back at this tower of destruction the humanity collapsing in the center and macklin's starting
00:31:50to stir now but well his eyes were glazed over how much of macklin is left oh my god and especially now
00:31:59hold on edwards edwards because he could have austin here and a handful of tights and a kick out
00:32:04this one getting chaotic very fast macklin just keeps getting caught in the face and so does edwards
00:32:11big spinning heel kick remember no count outs no disqualifications first man again pinfall
00:32:17submission is moving on to the final is it inevitable for ace austin to become the first ever international
00:32:25and there's alicia edwards there are no disqualifications
00:32:32quite frankly i give her credit for holding back this far anything does indeed go
00:32:39austin now in a precarious position here on the top rope edwards more than happy to take advantage
00:32:57uh-oh oh and austin caught edwards edwards taking a little too long
00:33:07now what is on the mind i mean austin oh edwards go to the eyes these two have despised each other for
00:33:16years a belly to back super it's off the top edwards gets caught in the crosshairs
00:33:25edwards is caught up
00:33:29oh the referee is trying to free edwards who's completely caught up in the ropes
00:33:37nasty bit of action there for edwards and look at this
00:33:42macklin he was trying to get edwards in position for kia edwards got caught up in the corner and
00:33:47there's his wife alicia making the save for her ride or die but did she fight off more than she
00:33:54oh no not like this kia cover

00:39:08we uh last time we saw you was rebellion 2024 right here in vegas you um you weren't exactly playing nice
00:39:14played played a pretty pivotal role in the loss of joe hendry that night if i remember correctly
00:39:19well you know i'm not a believer so i'll start off by saying that uh a lot of people was looking for
00:39:25me to no i'm not a believer john you were a star in the national football league and it's fitting
00:39:32because our next matchup features tna's own former nfl star the face of the franchise the x division
00:39:38champion moose recently on social media put out a challenge for the greatest high flyer in las vegas
00:39:45to step up and if they can beat moose they will get a future x division title shot we are in the
00:39:52epicenter of the pro wrestling world here in sin city this weekend so who's gonna step up
00:40:08the following contest is scheduled for one fall introducing first accompanied to the ring by alicia
00:40:37edwards weighing in at 330 pounds representing the system he is the tna x division champion
00:40:53moose attended the university of syracuse he played for the falcons patriots rams and colts between 2006
00:41:00and 2012 john you're a former university of maryland terrapin decorated career in the national football
00:41:06league your career speaks for itself but what do you think of what bruce has been able to do here
00:41:11in tna i'll tell you man a lot of people look at what he did earlier was disrespectful i think it's
00:41:16right up his alley he came out woke the crowd up told those college kids over there exactly what he
00:41:22wanted to hear told them off we this is what the nfl talent looks like he has the physique he has the
00:41:29attitude and point places come on and get it done and sean to your point there's the unlv men's ice
00:41:35hockey team getting a front row seat for this matchup so the open challenge has been put out there who is
00:41:41going to step up to the face of the franchise moose here at unbreakable
00:41:46oh look at that
00:41:56and his opponent from st louis msbury weighing in at 185 pounds sydney
00:42:04akeem who's asked for a high flyer to be buried don't get much more high flying than sydney akeem some
00:42:13of the things this man can do are pretty much out of this world and old move trying to make friends
00:42:19with uh moose's enemies over there sean your mr lights out this guy's gonna light up the impact
00:42:25zone are you familiar with what sydney akeem can do very familiar i expect him to stay in the air half the
00:42:31time during this match i'll tell you man he's athletic we'll talk about nfl players that good
00:42:37yeah there you go look he's starting already i can tell you half this match is going to be off the
00:42:41ropes let's see how much he stays in the ground tonight i'm very curious to see how this goes
00:42:47because moose's attempted to redefine what the exhibition has been all about for over two decades
00:42:53the old adage from the tna hall of fame to the professor mike today it's not about weight limits it's
00:42:58about no limits well simi akim has zero limits in a pro wrestling win who's carrying on that legacy
00:43:06set by people like samoa joe people like abyss changing the idea of what the exhibition can be
00:43:12i mean this is gonna be a clash of styles boys i love it man from top to bottom i love this vigo
00:43:16starting out early and credit to moose i mean opening up this open challenge it's a blind challenge
00:43:24essentially you got to be ready for anybody could have come through that door some heavyweight
00:43:29some broad street roller you know what i mean look at the size of me man i don't i don't think any of

00:45:14he can call you in any given way down goes moose and akim might have found an opening waiting for his
00:45:21moment up kick there by akim and a kip up beautiful drop kick that's a drop salt if you will oh good
00:45:29nice standing uranagi by moose that's the tough thing sometimes i mean great choosing your moment
00:45:37there from sydney akim but the man the size of moves sometimes just needs that one moment to turn it back
00:45:42around good guys like that i mean if you look at his size and strength he's he's losing these guys over and
00:45:47over again in the nfl like this bigger offense lineman defense lineman there's so much oh my god

00:47:30onto the apron this raw power of strength i gotta give up with kaki he's i mean he's staying in there
00:47:38he's a lot tougher than when he laid on the lead but it just doesn't look good there is something to be
00:47:43set for resilience in this game but i don't know how much resilience you can have after this oh nasty

00:56:08nemmeth they look to shine with gold come rebellion in los angeles and tonight they have a chance to uh
00:56:15soften up soften up their opponents if you will

00:56:28versus brothers tag team match in tna history as the nemmeths challenge the hardys for the tna world
00:56:35tag team titles at rebellion
00:57:00and their opponent
00:57:01the spotlights are up in the same setting for santana
00:57:20mike santana who has been embroiled in an extremely personal war with mustafa ali and order four
00:57:30ali continuing to slip the grasp of mike santana who was unfortunately able to get his hands on john
00:57:38skyler of the great hands
00:57:41and uh inflict some emotional trauma on the man that he won't soon forget
00:57:48frankly
00:57:49order four brought it on themselves
00:57:52it was mustafa ali who drove mike santana's friend a member of pna's crew
00:57:58derrick back to drinking
00:58:00santana took out a member of order four in retaliation
00:58:05ali messed with the wrong man in santana
00:58:15and it's tag team parker from the hardy compound in canberra north carolina
00:58:30carolina they are the tna world tag team champions
00:58:40the hardys
00:58:51the hardys have been rejuvenated
00:58:53united here in tna wrestling
00:58:58and they are marching into unbreakable set to team up with mike santana a little preview of what's to come
00:59:04and rebellion
00:59:07both teams here get an opportunity
00:59:10to strike first at their rebellion opponents
00:59:14and the hardys delete the nemmets before the tag team titles are even on the line
00:59:25i'm very curious to see how the nemmets and mustafa ali
00:59:37cooperate a lot of egos at play there meanwhile mike santana
00:59:41familiar with teaming with the hardys been so back at emergence in 2024.
00:59:47look it's a dream team over there on that side of the room you've got nick nemmet
00:59:51multi-time champion in companies all over the world
00:59:53mustafa ali a man who had the greatest exhibition title run in the history of tna
00:59:59and you have ryan nemmet sag actor
01:00:04that's a union man
01:00:05ryan nemmet's a freaking gremlin compared to ali and nick nemmet
01:00:09oh matt hardy charging after nick nemmet understandably so the fallout from sacrifice
01:00:15and now nick and ryan nemmet this is shades of sacrifice the conclusion of that night
01:00:20nick and ryan leaving matt hardy in a bloody pool inside of a cage
01:00:25such personal personal rivalries here all being put on display in this six-man tag team matchup
01:00:33oh there goes ali ali and santana have another take come rebellion and now santana directing a little
01:00:40bit of traffic jeff hardy thrilled to get into the mix here alongside his brother against the nemmet
01:00:46and now hardy's going vintage here a little poetry in motion two for one and there goes nick nemmet and ryan
01:00:56there to the outside
01:00:57and the hardy's and sandana the hardy's and sandana have cleared the battlefield
01:01:08we talked about the nasty brutal cage match back at sacrifice the bloody attack
01:01:25by nick and ryan nemmet on matt hardy that night will not soon be forgotten
01:01:38oh mike santana charging at ryan nemmet
01:01:47now just hammering on the hollywood hump here
01:01:54i don't know if ryan nemmet has ever dealt with someone the likes of mike santana
01:01:58what are you talking about he's dealing with him right now
01:02:01i don't know if he's ever dealt well with some of the likes of mike santana
01:02:06oh you were safe drop kick there by ryan
01:02:13just nearly took the lights out of the eyes of mike santana there
01:02:18big shot there by santana follows up santana is in rare form and again ollie
01:02:31went to some incredible depths going after mike santana's friend derek driving him back
01:02:38to drinking getting him off the wagon so to speak mike santana took that deeply personally and that's why
01:02:43john schuyler has uh disappeared ryan nemmet here though the distraction the strike from nick nemmet
01:02:52allowed the hollywood hunk to strike and just absolutely rain down blows on santana now
01:02:59ollie taking a cheap shot here on mike santana take any advantage you can get considering what
01:03:05santana did to one of his very own great hands ollie and the rest of order four deserved it
01:03:14let's be honest about who mustafa ollie is as well
01:03:18what a great leader a great former champion he's a sociopath with a business card
01:03:23sociopath oh face first goes ryan nemmet
01:03:31the man is honest about what he wants and what he sees for the future of this company
01:03:37and he does not believe that mike santana should be at the center of that
01:03:42it's matt hardy charging in against mustafa ali
01:03:49back elbow there by matt hardy and hardy looking to delete all of order four in one fell swoop here
01:03:58one turnbuckle at a time
01:04:00oh now matt hardy charged into the corner oh mustafa ali doubles over the broken one
01:04:14just like that the leader of order four turning things around
01:04:21ali able to land on his feet matt hardy out of the corner
01:04:25ali trying to get off the brakes here
01:04:32already looking to end this thing early
01:04:34think about the twist of fate ali able to evade for a moment
01:04:40holds on to the top rope and sends matt hardy throat first into the middle rope
01:04:44ali taking a cheap shot and a famous sir i believe by nick nemeth on the outside
01:04:49cover by ali referee in position now cover and a kick out
01:05:00and now ali feeling confident
01:05:04as the broken one hardy
01:05:07caught in the corner and no man's land here
01:05:11and now nick nemeth going to work on matt hardy
01:05:14continuing what he started back at sacrifice it was all out of jealousy let's be completely honest
01:05:23everything that nick nemeth did last year which was tremendous he believes he was overshadowed
01:05:30by the hardys claims that matt and jeff came in here and snaked their way past him and took all the
01:05:35spotlight couldn't be further from the truth look look i'm going to do something i never do i'm going to
01:05:41agree with nick nemeth is is jealous but look this is showbiz this is athletics this is sport
01:05:48that happens egos are involved and look if you're the hardys you're coming in you better be prepared
01:05:54for who gets ticked off for you coming in and potentially taking that spotlight
01:05:58reap what you sow now but it went to a completely different level the fact that matt hardy had to go
01:06:02home to cameron north carolina and look his children and his wife in the face and they saw that deviated
01:06:08septum that scar that's going to live on his face forever and they were terrified of what had
01:06:12happened to their father to her husband matt hardy now has to deal with nick and ryan nemmeth come
01:06:18rebellion he's already broken before what's one more oh stop it it's now hardy trying to desperately get
01:06:27back to his corner to take away the tag option of jeff hardy like that or not that was a beautiful move
01:06:37going back suplex and an opening right now for matt hardy
01:06:42how much was taken out of matt hardy trying to fight his way over to the corner before jeff hardy was
01:06:48taking off the apron courtesy of ryan nemmeth ali and ryan into the match matt hardy making a tag on
01:06:57the official the official trying to control ali and ryan nemmeth santana was all over nick nemmeth but
01:07:04the referee never saw the tag so santana can't legally be in the matchup ali and the nemmets running this
01:07:12sandbox hold on a second the referee didn't see that tag what are you talking about nick nemmeth
01:07:21trying to make a tag with ryan nemmeth on the referee's back this referee's an idiot he didn't
01:07:26see that tag but he saw this tail are you kidding me i saw that's horrible that's absolutely horrible
01:07:34my word is as good as gold what are you what are you talking about what are you talking if i see it
01:07:40it's legal anyway either way you put it the nemmeth and mustafa ali in firm control once again and
01:07:48by the look at things it could be lights out for matt hardy here
01:07:55and now nick nemmeth was tuning up the band matt hardy oh and nick nemmeth go down hard
01:08:01and now an opportunity for both to get fresh members of their team in
01:08:16can matt hardy break away here tag made in comes all way oh my god drop kit santana clean off the apron
01:08:25nearly took the head off of mike santana there this is whether you like it or not great tag team
01:08:31wrestling and now ali instigated things with jeff hardy the referee dealing with jeff trying to get
01:08:36him out of the ring this is basically three on one for matt hardy now lee shutting down the broken one
01:08:44neck breaker by ali matt hardy is in a bad part of town
01:08:47and this could be a moment ali could shut all of this down here think about the 450 this could end it
01:08:56oh rolled through matt hardy got out of the way watch out side effect
01:09:02ali got planted and one more time huge opening from matt hardy here
01:09:09his brother waiting for the tag and here comes a charismatic enigma jeff hardy who competed on the

01:17:57and his tag team partner from charlotte north carolina she is the undeniable diamond tessa blanchard
01:18:16now what can't be denied is that tessa blanchard does own two in-fall victories against the reigning
01:18:23tna knockouts world champion masha slamovich in tag team action what can be disputed about those victories
01:18:30is the fact that tessa blanchard used others to draw the attention of slamovich to ultimately gain the
01:18:38victory as blanchard truly beaten slamovich clean face to face look that's the danger of a tag team
01:18:44scenario but it's all about momentum and right now that's in the favor of blanchard
01:18:50blanchard
01:19:02and their opponent first from moscow russia she is the tna knockout world champion

01:20:38championship against the call your shot gauntlet winner frankie kazarian and nxt's
01:20:44and cage in a triple threat matchup joe henry does not have to be paid or submitted to lose the
01:20:51championship and as we mentioned he's already dealing with that rotator cuff injury but to the champ's
