00:00Anniversary on the horizon, live in Montreal, tonight in the 2300 Arena in Philly, we kick things off with the juggernaut and an open challenge.
00:15The following is an open challenge and it is for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
00:22Introducing first, from Austin, Texas, she is the reigning and defending TNA Knockouts World Champion, the Juggernaut, Jordan Grace!
00:38One week from Saturday, July 20th, live on Pay-Per-View and TNA Plus in Montreal, Jordan Grace is scheduled to defend her TNA Knockouts World Championship against Ash by Elegance at Slammiversary.
00:51However, Jordan Grace trying to show Ash by Elegance what a fighting champion looks like.
00:57She has put out an open challenge to anyone, anywhere, to challenge her for the title tonight.
01:08Jordan! Jordan! Jordan!
01:13Ladies and gentlemen, answering her open challenge.
01:30Very interesting.
01:33From NXT, Izzy Dane!
01:42Well, the hits just keep on coming, Tom.
01:47We've seen more and more of this bleeding, this bleed over, this crossover between NXT and right here in TNA.
01:55And tonight is no different. Another challenger from NXT here to take a shot at the juggernaut.
02:04Now, Izzy Dane is at Opportunities on some of NXT's biggest platforms and, in fact, was in action this past Tuesday night on NXT, trying to follow suit the way Tatum Paxley did in Against All Odds and stepping up to the juggernaut.
02:18And speaking of NXT, not the only guest we have tonight from NXT is Charlie Dempsey, who's going to go one-on-one with Zachary Wentz of the Rascals after blowing up the match between Leon Slater and Trey Miguel last week.
02:32Also tonight, the TNA Digital Media Championship will be on the line as AJ Francis defends against Rhyno.
02:39And also, we will see a number one contenders match for the X-Division title bout that will go down at Slammiversary.
02:47Wait a minute! Yes!
02:53Do you mind?
02:56Can you filthy, loud-mouthed, ignorant Philadelphians please be quiet?
03:09We cannot have a knockout championship match and break tradition because Miss Ash, by elegance, is on vacation.
03:21But I've got some good news!
03:24She is going to be watching via satellite from a beautiful, luxury resort on a sandy beach that none of you degenerates can afford.
03:39You're welcome. Jordan, let's see what you've got.
03:44As was said for this knockouts world title match, yes, there is Ash, by elegance, joining us via satellite.
03:54Well, if the disgusting, classless shoe fits, Tom. Are you kidding me?
04:01I love my people.
04:03You ever been to Wildwood, New Jersey? It's just as good as wherever Ash, by elegance, is.
04:07I'm getting out of here as fast as I can.
04:11So here we go. This is Izzy Dame of NXT, one-on-one with Jordan Grace for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
04:19It appears ever since Jordan Grace's opportunity at NXT Battleground against the NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez,
04:27that was interrupted by Ash, by elegance, and Tatum Paxley, it appears.
04:32The juggernaut has garnered the attention of multiple NXT stars.
04:36Izzy Dame with a height and reach advantage here, about 5'10", up against Grace.
04:44With a strength advantage over any human that I know of, but the reach, the height, it plays a big role, especially in a wrestling match.
04:53Izzy Dame's going to have to use that to her advantage any second she can here.
04:59Standing about a whole head taller there than the Knockouts World Champion.
05:04And Jordan Grace has gotten accustomed to this type of disrespect over the years.
05:09Luckily, Jordan Grace is stronger than just about anyone on the TNA roster, and beyond that.
05:17That's what you do with a tree, you chop it down, you cut it down to size.
05:27Dame trying to control Grace as I was, before I was rudely interrupted there by the personal concierge.
05:33We will see a number one contender's triple threat match for the X Division title bout.
05:37We'll see it's Slammiversary after Mustafa Ali's backtracking and politicking.
05:41It'll be Mike Bailey vs. Kushida vs. Jonathan Gresham.
05:44And also, our Director of Authority, Santino Marella, I understand, has a planned main event that he is going to reveal tonight on Impact.
05:53I'm curious to see what Santino has up his sleeve.
05:56Oh great, whenever Santino pulls something out of his sleeve, it always works out just perfectly.
06:01It's usually unorthodox and fun.
06:03That's a nice way to put it.
06:05Dame caught up, oh and turned inside out by Grace.
06:12Jordan Grace is tied for the third most successful defenses of a Knockouts World Championship in a single ring currently.
06:21With Taryn Terrell at 10, one ahead of her is Diana Peraza with 11, and the record belongs to Taya Valkyrie at 17.
06:31Oh look here, Jordan Grace got caught up for a second by Izzy Dame.
06:36Grace in a rarefied air.
06:39How dare you? She's not even here to defend herself against your smarmy.
06:43I'm thrilled about that.
06:47Yeah, we know Ash by elegance is watching on via satellite.
06:51Do people still need satellites anymore?
06:54I think the internet is just kind of everywhere.
06:56Dame sent face first into the post.
06:59And Jordan Grace making sure the personal concierge stays where he is.
07:04Never know what kind of fast one the personal concierge and Ash by elegance can pull.
07:10Ash by elegance making good use of the TNA Plus app on that beautiful beach, no doubt.
07:14And hey, hey, hey.
07:15The personal concierge.
07:17He's got nothing to do with this. He's merely a representative of your champion.
07:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:22Oh, good drop.
07:23A Rosemary.
07:24What in the Sam hell?
07:29Rosemary! Rosemary! Rosemary!
07:32Rosemary from out of the crowd.
07:34Oh!
07:35Chasing on the personal concierge.
07:37What business is up? This is hers.
07:40You've seen Rosemary watching Ash by elegance in the past.
07:43I've tried not to see it.
07:45I've looked away vehemently.
07:47Trying to focus now on this knockouts world title match.
07:51And again, despite what we just saw, Grace has to focus on Izzy Dame.
07:55Oh! Throat first into the top rope.
07:58That's right.
08:00Ash by elegance could have a very different opponent for the knockouts world title.
08:05And look at the strength here of Izzy Dame.
08:07Oh!
08:09Jordan Grace sent face first into the top turnbuckle there by Dame.
08:14And then just swung up there.
08:16Oh!
08:18That's that power. That's that reach of Izzy Dame.
08:21And now scaling the ropes here.
08:25Get the superplex. That's a long fall for Jordan Grace.
08:28Oh! Big headbutt.
08:32Now Dame.
08:35Oh, that might have just ticked off the juggernaut.
08:38Izzy Dame who has had the chance to get in the ring with the best of all time, Natalya Neidhart, not too long ago.
08:47Great opportunity here tonight.
08:49Going for the falcon arrow.
08:50Trying to win the knockouts world title.
08:52And a kick out.
08:53Take another look at the power of Izzy Dame here.
08:57Absolutely planting the knockouts world champion.
09:02But Jordan Grace stays alive.
09:06What a coup this would be.
09:07If Izzy Dame could march into TNA and capture the knockouts world championship.
09:15Bring that back to NXT.
09:18Jordan Grace though doing everything in her power to prevent that from happening.
09:23Oh!
09:30Grace scheduled to defend the championship at Slammiversary.
09:33Live in Montreal against Ash by Elegance.
09:35That can all go up in smoke tonight in Philadelphia.
09:38And look, Grace trying to prove that she's a fighting champion.
09:41All the respect in the world for that.
09:43Meanwhile, Ash by Elegance getting some rest.
09:45Some R&R. Some good training in I'm sure during this time.
09:50She's going to be 1,000% at Slammiversary.
09:53Meanwhile, Jordan Grace.
09:55Oh!
09:56And look at Jordan Grace bringing Dame down to the canvas.
09:59Raining down these shots.
10:03I understand your point, but Jordan Grace is razor sharp right now.
10:08No doubt about that.
10:09But keeping this pace going into Slammiversary.
10:11How long can that stay true?
10:13Rest or rust.
10:15Iron sharpens iron.
10:17You love that phrase.
10:19Oh!
10:20Went for the juggernaut driver there.
10:22Those long legs of Izzy Dame came into play.
10:25Able to take down Grace.
10:27Hell of a counter there.
10:32Dame managed to stay in this one.
10:34Able to shut the juggernaut down.
10:38Oh!
10:39Boom.
10:47Now it's a tall task.
10:55Oh!
10:56And a spinning back fist by Grace.
11:00Oh!
11:01And a big boot by Izzy Dame.
11:05Up onto the shoulders.
11:10And that puts Dame down.
11:12And sets her up for this.
11:14And now the juggernaut driver.
11:19Chalk up another victory for Jordan Grace.
11:23Here is your winner, and still
11:25TNA Knockouts World Champion, Jordan Grace.
11:31I hope Ash by elegance is getting plenty of rest and relaxation.
11:36She will be heading to Montreal
11:38at Slammiversary to challenge this woman
11:42for the TNA Knockouts World title.
