00:03:33TNA!
00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the Impact Zone
00:03:38Masha Slamovich, JDC, and The System.
00:03:44This past weekend at Emergence, which you can watch back on demand
00:03:47any time on TNA+, Moose, JDC, Eddie Edwards, and Brian Myers
00:03:53were victorious in an eight-man tag team matchup
00:03:56against the Hardys, Mike Santana, and Joe Hendry.
00:04:00However, you can see Alicia Edwards and Masha Slamovich,
00:04:04they are your Knockouts World Tag Team Champions,
00:04:06competed in a six-knockouts tag team matchup this past weekend,
00:04:10but Alicia Edwards sustained an injury in the process
00:04:14and has been in concussion protocol since Emergence.
00:04:17A valiant warrior is Alicia Edwards,
00:04:20and I love Tom, every chance you get,
00:04:23Slamiversary included, you always love to throw,
00:04:25like, oh, look, The System, breakdown, System falling apart,
00:04:29but every time, they come back stronger and better than ever.
00:04:33And one of the biggest headlines coming out of Emergence
00:04:36is that one week from tomorrow, Friday, September 13th,
00:04:40in San Antonio, Texas, live on TNA+,
00:04:43Moose will get his contractual rematch
00:04:46for the TNA World Championship from Slamiversary
00:04:49against Nick Nemeth at Victory Road.
00:04:57Do you want to know something?
00:05:01Do you want to know something?
00:05:09Do you want to know something?
00:05:15The System was dominant at Emergence,
00:05:18and we have something to say.
00:05:31Do you want to know something?
00:05:34Do you want to know something?
00:05:37Do you want to know something?
00:05:40Do you want to know something?
00:05:43You ain't going to ruin our night.
00:05:45That's not going to happen.
00:05:47Everybody out there has been wishing and hoping
00:05:51and praying for a System failure.
00:05:55You idiots in the crowd have been chanting,
00:05:58System failure.
00:06:01But the fact is, the System does not fail.
00:06:07All the System needed was a nice little reboot.
00:06:13And now that that's been accomplished,
00:06:16now that that's been done,
00:06:18it is time for the System to get back our championship gold.
00:06:29Oh, and guess what?
00:06:34As your former tag team champions,
00:06:39Eddie and I are contractually obligated for a rematch.
00:06:48So you know what?
00:06:51We're going to use that clause at Victory Road
00:06:56and challenge ABC for our tag team championship.
00:07:05ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC! ABC!

00:07:35Now I need everybody to shut the hell up because the face of the franchise has
00:07:52something very important to say
00:08:05Nick Nemeth in two weeks you get to face the guy that you've never beaten and beat
00:08:19you for that title you have around your waist and like a British lad once said
00:08:28at Victory Road I got bad news for you because you're looking at the four-time
00:08:40TNA world champion but before we get to Victory Road I have something more
00:08:51important to talk about and that's you JDC and everybody wants to know what is
00:09:06your relationship with the system well tonight we have a big night you have a
00:09:17big night because if we win that tag-team matchup against stupid Joe
00:09:26Henry and that old yellow Mike Santana you officially become a member of the
00:09:41system but if we lose tonight you're out and everybody in this building knows
00:10:02what the system does to outsiders
00:10:14everybody is asking for their rematches
00:10:20and I'm wicked smart so what I did listen I know my rights as a champion
00:10:33and I do not need to defend my title more than once in 30 days I am also
00:10:44under the concussion protocol so therefore I can find a suitable
00:10:50replacement if my neurologist does not clear me to compete to wrestle
00:11:05Oh and now look at this here comes Spitfire Danny Luna and Joni Threat
00:11:12Threat Luna along with the knockouts world champion Jordan Grace defeated the team of
00:11:17Ash Bile against Masha Slavich and Alicia Edwards at Emergence
00:11:24look Alicia it was unfortunate what happened to you at Emergence I
00:11:29understand but the reality of the situation is your team lost actually the
00:11:36reality is we already beat you twice so you can take your little two stupid
00:11:42faces out of here and go back to the dive bar you crawled out of
00:11:53look every time we have wrestled you have cheated to win whether it be the
00:11:58referee but let's get to the point we talked to Santino and we got another
00:12:05shot at Victory Road but this time it's do or die so if you beat us we break up
00:12:19as a team
00:12:29okay you guys are actually gonna do me a favor because I'm never gonna see your
00:12:34stupid faces again so guess what you're on Victory Road Spitfire versus Alicia
00:12:44some huge matches have been made it sounds for Victory Road one week from
00:12:51tomorrow at San Antonio Texas and don't forget still to come tonight in our main
00:12:55event Moose and JDC against Mike Santana and Joey Pinfrey
00:13:01still to come
00:13:04ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time Eric Young
00:13:10EY Emergence was a big night unfortunately a tough loss for you
00:13:15against Steve Macklin but how are you feeling after that battle yeah pretty
00:13:19beat up Macklin's a guy that I've known for a long time and we've never touched
00:13:23until Emergence he got one over on me but this is what I know we came to the
00:13:27line we showed up like men we threw down and he got one over on me but it's a guy
00:13:32I respect he's always done things his way I've always done things my way and
00:13:36I've got his back no matter what happens going forward well we know that there's
00:13:40no rest for the wicked you've got another challenge ahead of you tonight
00:13:44against Jake something yeah Jake look no secret big dude bad dude we've had
00:13:50history oh yeah I know what he's all about he knows what I'm all about I'm
00:13:54gonna do what I've always done I'm gonna represent myself I'm gonna represent
00:13:57this company and I'm gonna be me
00:14:01certainly history dating back to the days of violent by design but tonight
00:14:05it's Eric Young versus Jake something plus in our main event Moose and JDC of
00:14:10the system team up against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana but coming up next
00:14:15Kushida and Laredo kid an X Division showcase next
00:14:26what when the hell is going on John Layfield is in TNA first a moment in
00:14:36Mexico between these two some words were spoken tonight that only Nick Nemeth and
00:14:41Layfield will truly understand what is unraveling in front of our eyes you know
00:14:50Tom I said it at emergence like what timeline are we in you never know who's
00:14:56gonna show up where when John Layfield in the impact zone something I thought I
00:15:00would never say I've known John Layfield for over a decade John does what he
00:15:06wants I can tell you that immediately after emergence I went backstage I tried
00:15:09to find John Layfield I was told by security he immediately left the
00:15:13premises and thus far the TNA world champion Nick Nemeth has yet to share
00:15:17what was spoken between him and John Layfield at emergence
00:15:22as we get set for our first national night here Kushida has the opportunity
00:15:42to rebound after the countdown to emergence he went one-on-one with Frankie
00:15:46Kazarian of the self-proclaimed king of TNA as he consistently has done found a
00:15:52way to cut corners bend the rules and get the win
00:15:56all I heard was Frankie Kazarian found a way to get the win and you couldn't be
00:16:00more right Tom if that's what Frankie Kazarian does that's what all that
00:16:05experience does for you that's what makes him the king that's what makes him
00:16:10a winner it's a critical time of year Victoria Road just one week away from

00:16:58absolute a changing of the guard the boys from the treehouse have championship
00:17:04gold once again but that I mean that's this is the division that defines TNA
00:17:09wrestling to its core Ultimate X did not let us down in that fashion at all
00:17:14great example of the X Division right here two men who have circled around the
00:17:19X Division championship quite a bit in their careers here in TNA Laredo Kid
00:17:24make it difficult on Kushida here in the early going went for a cover Kushida
00:17:28following suit you know this opening is gonna be pretty fast-paced given the
00:17:34styles of both of these wrestlers here make sure you keep your eyes open a
00:17:41little bit of a feeling out process early on you know cuz she is looking for
00:17:45that hoverboard love how to soften up the arm of Laredo Kid here it's the
00:17:50beauty of watching two brilliant athletes go to work and especially
00:17:54Kushida just such a diverse skill set there is no facet of pro wrestling you
00:17:58can put in front of him and surprise him now that's that style that's that
00:18:03education deep in the Japan dojo system coming up in this business all over the
00:18:09world yeah cuz she does learn to adapt to pretty much any style don't forget
00:18:13still to come tonight Eric Young goes one-on-one with Jake
00:18:17something the knockouts world champion Jordan Grace will hold yet another open
00:18:22challenge for her knockouts world championship and in our main event it's
00:18:26Joe Hendry and Mike Santana against moose of the system and JD see remember
00:18:32what moose said earlier on if JD see helps guide them to a victory JD see is
00:18:37officially a part of the system and if he doesn't well let's not even talk
00:18:44about that possibility in my heart emotionally he's already a part of the
00:18:48system in my heart in the heart of many around the world but I'd love to see it
00:18:52made official Oh one for the sunset flip their drop kick right to the face by
00:18:55Kushida the action in this one I mean as I said before really has not stopped
00:19:02has not slowed down and doesn't look like it will here either
00:19:07Kushida thought he had an opening there with Laredo kid on the outside but for
00:19:11the former TNA digital media champion Laredo kid cover up ground quickly and
00:19:16look at the back of your screen there's Josh Alexander attacking Laredo kid and
00:19:22blowing up this match Alexander look it out look at a C4 spike by the walking
00:19:31weapon extra bit of gusto on that one on our
00:19:35Kushida going after Alexander and Alexander attacking Kushida Alexander
00:19:42incense clearly ticked off after coming up short in the world title Ironman match
00:19:47and emergence fell short to Nick Namath and now an ankle lock applied here on
00:19:53Kushida security and referees heading towards the ring looks like everybody in
00:19:59TNA gonna feel the wrath of the walking weapon security and our referee Daniel
00:20:10Spencer trying to control the situation
00:20:15our official able to get Josh Alexander to exit the ring what condition is
00:20:21Kushida in after this attack by Alexander
00:20:26my house
00:20:32we and Josh one-on-one right now
00:20:46Kushida wants a fight with Josh Alexander and Kushida is charging after
00:20:53the impact zone I know trying to drag Alexander back towards the ring and I'm
00:21:03being told that Santino Morella has made this match official our referee Daniel
00:21:08Spencer's in the ring there's the bell Kushida versus Josh Alexander is
00:21:13officially underway I'll get on our director of authority
00:21:18for getting us here and being head keeping his finger on the button a
00:21:22bitter Josh Alexander now has to deal with the time splitter Kushida this
00:21:28match continues here on TNA impact
00:21:35we are back here on TNA impact an impromptu matchup of Josh Alexander and
00:21:40Kushida Kushida trying to control the leg of Josh Alexander it was Kushida
00:21:47versus Laredo came before the break and then Alexander blew the whole thing up
00:21:51Kushida now an ankle lock on Alexander in a German suplex trying to add a
00:21:57little insult to injury here taking some moves out of the Josh Alexander playbook
00:22:02Oh big kick by Kushida there's the cover pressing their shoulders down in a
00:22:07kick-out Josh Alexander has got to be extremely bitter and angry after what
00:22:12happened in emergence this past weekend live on TNA plus Nick Nemeth withstood
00:22:17Josh Alexander in a one-hour Ironman match for the TNA World Championship
00:22:23that match Alexander believed was his match to win and for much of that match
00:22:29up it looked like it was gonna happen that way Alexander especially late in
00:22:33the game coming from a deficit came and absolutely brutalized the TNA World
00:22:38Champion but ultimately the one-on-man comes out victorious Kushida trying to
00:22:43get the hoverboard lock on the outside here oh and Alexander drive some spine
00:22:48first into the apron as you mentioned Tom clearly the walking weapon here none
00:22:56too pleased the anger boiling over here on TNA impact not ready to just leave
00:23:05everything left alone destroying that matchup and now trying to destroy
00:23:10Kushida outright now Alexander units in his entrance shirt to try and attack
00:23:16Kushida our referee Daniel Spencer getting rid of the shirt referee was
00:23:21sent down here first Santino Marella making a match official between
00:23:25Alexander and Kushida after the walking weapon destroyed the previous match
00:23:31Kushida despite being attacked like that was was more than ready to answer
00:23:38that challenge look at this a defiant Kushida think about the irony it was
00:23:43last year that Kushida was chasing Josh Alexander and he's then TNA World
00:23:49Championship prior to a torn left tricep suffered by Josh Alexander many have
00:23:55speculated was because of the hoverboard lock of Kushida a backbreaker
00:24:04here's the cover shoulders down and a kick out there were many who thought
00:24:09Kushida could have been next in line for the TNA World Championship these two
00:24:13have never gone one-on-one before so imagine how kicked off Kushida must be
00:24:18this is a man that he's wanted to face in the past and then Alexander this
00:24:22completely different side of him bursts onto the scene and blows up this match
00:24:27I'm sure this is not the one-on-one match that Kushida was hoping to have
00:24:31one day with the walking weapon nevertheless here we are right to the
00:24:37midsection if you're Josh Alexander I don't agree with this being the way to
00:24:41move forward after emergence oh but how does he get back into the TNA World
00:24:45title picture by brutalizing everybody in his pathway incredible counter by
00:24:55Josh Alexander it's that kind of tenacity that kind of in-ring acumen
00:25:00that keeps him at the top of his game face first into the middle turnbuckle
00:25:05here's the cover and Kushida only had two dangerous hoverboard lock bad place
00:25:14to be for Josh Alexander Kushida got it locked in here
00:25:21remember the torn left triceps last year for Josh Alexander brain buster by the
00:25:28walking weapon nasty by Alexander there still feeling the effects of the
00:25:34hoverboard lock but ready to put this one away that torn triceps cost Josh
00:25:39Alexander the TNA World Championship the longest TNA World title reign in history
00:25:45to this day it haunts him that he was never beaten for that TNA World
00:25:50Championship and now gonna send a clear and concise message go for the c4 spike
00:26:04there and now Kushida Kushida trying to get the win here and a kick out by
00:26:08Alexander a little counter but Alexander back in the driver's seat
00:26:13Kushida and loaded up for the Tanaka punch and Alexander hits the German
00:26:18suplex on again going for the ankle here Alexander smashing the ankle of
00:26:29Kushida it's absolutely obliterating the leg the knee the ankle she does in a bad
00:26:36way whoa is Kushida gonna tap to the ankle lock center of the ring looking
00:26:42close Kushida's gotta be careful and now Alexander thinking about a new
00:26:47plan of attack
00:26:55c4 spike and that's gotta be it a statement by the locking weapon
00:27:06here is your winner Josh Alexander it has got to be eating Josh Alexander alive
00:27:13that he could not capture the TNA World title at emergence and so quickly we
00:27:18have a TNA World title match set up for Victory Road Moose gets a contractual
00:27:23rematch for the championship against Nick Nemeth one week from tomorrow live

00:31:52Carmen Petrovic has been a rising star in TNA and then what a way to really set
00:32:00things up you can bring the TNA Knockouts World title back to NXT with
00:32:05you but the juggernaut gonna be one hell of a contest so we have a new liaison
00:32:12between NXT and TNA! How lucky are we to see how Santino Morello thinks about Ariana
00:32:18Grace's presence for right now the present is all about the Knockouts
00:32:22World Championship Carmen Petrovic about to challenge Jordan Grace
00:32:31this will be a very interesting mixing of styles here again we know the speed
00:32:36the ferocity of the juggernaut but if you paid attention to NXT and a little
00:32:41bit here and look at this sign of respect from the champ herself
00:32:46well Carmen Petrovic a martial artist at heart competed actually the Canadian
00:32:53national team in martial arts going for a sleeper here early on a series of
00:32:57exploratory strikes there it seemed. Diverse MMA background for Petrovic.
00:33:05Oh kick right to the face of Jordan Grace and looking on there was Rosemary
00:33:11who appeared on NXT this past Tuesday night furthering her bond with Wendy
00:33:16Chu it appears Rosemary recently challenged Jordan Grace for the
00:33:20Knockouts World title in an open challenge. That back elbow and this spine
00:33:24buster now stunning Petrovic. Here's the cover, hook to the leg and a kick out at two.
00:33:30This Knockouts World Championship match this open challenge is just getting
00:33:35started Jordan Grace defending against NXT's Carmen Petrovic it continues
00:33:41picture-in-picture. And another open challenge from Jordan Grace answered by
00:33:49another of NXT's standouts and Carmen Petrovic just going for a ride.
00:33:55Hook to both legs and a kick out by Petrovic. There is absolutely no denying
00:34:03the pace the brutal pace that Jordan Grace quite frankly has put upon
00:34:09herself by invoking all these open challenges etc. There is nothing short of
00:34:15impressive. You're a former champion in NXT so how would you handle something
00:34:20like this this barrage of open challenges? Except when I wouldn't do it.
00:34:24That's that's the key. Just don't do it. To be fair sometimes it's thrust upon you but
00:34:30to Jordan Grace's credit most of these open challenge defenses especially have
00:34:35been her idea her request to TNA. Oh look at this trying to figure for the head of
00:34:45Jordan Grace. Here's Petrovic with a tight figure four here. Trying to squeeze the air out of the juggernaut but look at the
00:34:56strength of Grace right back to her feet another human being on her shoulders
00:35:01trying to squeeze the life out of her. Electric chair drop there by Grace.
00:35:15Jordan coming back to life here always having to think on her toes pushing
00:35:22herself that has been Jordan Grace's MO for years now pushing herself to
00:35:27physical limits to mental limits in wrestling and bodybuilding in life.
00:35:33Petrovic dumped by Grace with the power slam. Well I've been dumped by a lot of
00:35:41women in my life but never quite like that. Oh nasty kick though to the back
00:35:46of the head of a juggernaut. Shoots half. Here's the cover and a kick out by
00:35:50Jordan Grace. Great agility and athleticism there by Petrovic to spin
00:35:56the leg all the way back around basically the heel of the boot connected
00:36:00it looked like with the face of Grace. I feel like that's gonna have to be her
00:36:03method of operation here to take down the juggernaut those well-placed strikes
00:36:09hit up right side the chin try to really knock the juggernaut loopy
00:36:13because you're not gonna go strength for strength you're not gonna go power for
00:36:16power. World's strongest slam.
00:36:22Vader bomb attempt. Petrovic able to avoid it. Oh and now the petrifier by
00:36:30Carmen Petrovic. Look out face first. Is this enough to capture the knockout
00:36:37world title and a kick out by Grace. That was incredibly close as Petrovic
00:36:43tries for the knockouts world title. What an effort tonight for the knockouts
00:36:49world championship Jordan Grace putting out yet another open challenge in
00:36:54defense of her title it's been answered by NXT's Carmen Petrovic and now the
00:36:59juggernaut getting back up to her feet. Oh and once again looking on from high
00:37:07above here inside old forces Paris Town Hall in Louisville there is Rosemary
00:37:11watching this knockouts world title match. I shudder every time we see
00:37:16Rosemary just lurking from the rafters there. Powerbomb by Grace with authority. Nearly drove Petrovic
00:37:24through the damn ring. The late great Sid Vicious would be proud of that
00:37:31powerbomb. Oh my god. That is Grace in her wheelhouse now able to take control of
00:37:40this matchup once again. Hit hard, hit fast.
00:37:47236 days for Jordan Grace in this her third knockouts world title reign. Second
00:38:00only to the TNA Hall of Famer Gail Kim in total days as a knockouts world
00:38:06champion in this company. Now Petrovic with these educated feet going to work
00:38:13now. Spinning heel kick. There's the cover kick out by Grace. The way she just
00:38:17manipulated Jordan Grace out of the corner with just her legs. That's the
00:38:23kind of discipline that not every wrestler has. We've talked about it for a
00:38:28while the pace of the juggernaut has been attempting to maintain with these
00:38:31open challenges. When is it going to catch up to her? I was just about to ask
00:38:35that question out loud myself. I will never question to her face the work
00:38:41ethic, the intensity of Jordan Grace but at the end of the day she's still
00:38:45fleshing blood. She's only human. Something at some point will have to
00:38:50give but I don't see it yet. Petrovic missed with the kick and now
00:38:55going for the juggernaut driver middle of the ring but Petrovic tucked her leg
00:38:59behind Grace's and blocked it. Nice counter. Petrovic obviously did her
00:39:03homework. Something Jordan Grace not quite able to do given it was an open
00:39:07challenge. Another series of strikes by Petrovic. Now charges it. Grace and a spinning back fist and that rocked
00:39:18Carmen Petrovic. Up onto the shoulders here for just a minute. Oh and this one
00:39:24was blocked by Grace with a hammer fist. That sent Petrovic all the way to the
00:39:30match now. Grace putting her challenger up into the high rent district here.
00:39:41Jordan Grace going to the second rope here in Louisville, Kentucky inside the
00:39:46impact zone in defense of her Knockouts World Championship. Now Petrovic has a
00:39:55little bit of space here against the champion. Cross body, down goes the champ.
00:40:01Now looking to line up Jordan Grace but no! Oh come with the juggernaut driver!
00:40:09Another one falls to the juggernaut!
00:40:13Here's your winner and still TNA Knockouts World Champion, Jordan Grace!
00:40:20The streak continues. The pace does not relent for the juggernaut.
00:40:29Jordan Grace, another successful defense here and an open challenge.
00:40:36The Knockouts World Champion has proved to be unstoppable.
00:40:43Time and time again, time and...
00:40:46What the hell?
00:41:16Yeah! Hello world. Let's reminisce a little bit, shall we?
00:41:26Slammiversary was a beautiful night in this company's history. Why was that?
00:41:31Oh because Slammiversary was the night that the system failed.
00:41:35The system lost all the championships. Most importantly, the World Tag Team Championships
00:41:41that came home where they belong with ABC. And it seems like Victory Road, you all are looking to...
00:41:47Now they want the rematch. Now they want the rematch.
00:41:50Hold up. Hold up. Hold up.
00:41:52Wait a minute. See, y'all just like these corrupt TNA officials.
00:41:57Corrupt?
00:41:58See, y'all focused on the wrong thing. You think it's one way, but it's the other.
00:42:02We're focused on this.
00:42:03Y'all worried about the system at Victory Road when first and foremost, you need to be focused on first class.
00:42:10I mean, we're pretty focused on first class.
00:42:13We would be if we hadn't have beaten you already.
00:42:15A week ago.
00:42:16We didn't want to take care of that.
00:42:17That was last week's news.
00:42:18See, it's funny y'all talking about what happened a week ago, but you seem to have forgotten.
00:42:22I put you in the sky, then drove you through the earth, and I beat ABC easy as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
00:42:31That might be the case. That might be the case if you were the legal man.
00:42:34And if you would have beaten us like you say you claim you did, you would have these.
00:42:38But you don't because you don't know the rules of tag team.
00:42:42Apparently, you don't know the rules.
00:42:43You know nothing about it.
00:42:44I mean, he tagged you.
00:42:45You tagged in.
00:42:46And you were oblivious to it.
00:42:47And then what happened right after that?
00:42:48You came in and I pinned you.
00:42:491, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
00:42:52All the time.
00:42:53And the bell actually rang.
00:42:54And we were still tag team champions.
00:42:56But if you're confused about it.
00:42:57So, yeah.
00:42:58If you want to run it back.
00:42:59You seem a little confused.
00:43:00You doing something next week?
00:43:01No, I'm not busy next week.
00:43:02I ain't doing nothing next week.
00:43:03And TNA Impact without the world tag team champions.
00:43:05So how about we just run it back?
00:43:07We could do it again.
00:43:08Pardon me?
00:43:09Next week.
00:43:10Pardon me?
00:43:11Next week?
00:43:12Next week.
00:43:13Say that one more time.
00:43:14Ace.
00:43:15Is this really?
00:43:16Yeah, look.
00:43:17Look, you got to earn title shots around here.
00:43:18But we could beat you next week.
00:43:19No problem.
00:43:20No problem.
00:43:21No problem.
00:43:22No problemo.
00:43:23They fall for it every time.
00:43:24If you had one brain between the two of you.
00:43:26It wouldn't be this simple.
00:43:27Let's go talk to Santino.
00:43:28Yeah, we're going to go talk to Santino.
00:43:29Hey, Santino.
00:43:30Hey.
00:43:31Let's talk to Santino.
00:43:32And refresh the rules of tag team wrestling.
00:43:34Me personally?
00:43:35Please do.
00:43:36We can't let that slide.
00:43:37No.
00:43:38I mean, we're not going to let it slide.
00:43:39Those guys are crazy, bro.
00:43:40We just beat them.
00:43:41What are they going to do?
00:43:42Unbelievable.
00:43:43Well, speaking of tag team matches, everything's on the line for JDC as he and Moose team up
00:43:48against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana.
00:43:50Still to come, Eric Young looks to rebound from Emergence against Jake Something.
00:43:54But coming up next, we'll hear from the brand new X-Division champion, Zachary Wentz, on
00:44:00Impact.
00:44:06Now we are back.
00:44:07We are back.
00:44:08We are back.
00:44:09We are back.
00:44:10We are back.
00:44:11We are back.
00:44:12We are back.
00:44:13We are back.
00:44:14We are back.
00:44:15We are back.
00:44:16We are back.
00:44:17We are back.
00:44:18We are back.
00:44:19We are back.
00:44:20We are back.
00:44:21We are back.
00:44:22We are back.
00:44:23We are back.
00:44:24We are back.
00:44:25We are back.
00:44:26We are back.
00:44:27We are back.
00:44:28We are back.
00:44:29We are back.
00:44:30We are back.
00:44:31We are back.
00:44:32We are back.
00:44:33We are back.
00:44:34We are back.
00:44:35We are back.
00:44:36Now we are back here on TNA Impact.
00:44:37What a week it has been for Zachary Wentz.
00:44:47Please welcome the new TNA X-Division champion, Zachary Wentz.
00:44:56At Emergence, Wentz captured the X-Division title at Ultimate X on Sunday at NXT No Mercy.
00:45:05He defeated his former best friend, Wes Lee, this past Tuesday night.
00:45:11Dwayne Miguel and Zachary Wentz won an NXT Tag Team title shot,
00:45:15which they'll get this coming Tuesday night on NXT against Axiom and Nathan Frazier.
00:45:21Zachary Wentz has claimed his redemption.
00:45:26Oh, man, you guys do not know how much this means to me.
00:45:33You deserve it, you deserve it, you deserve it.
00:45:41Thank you, thank you.
00:45:42You deserve it.
00:45:44Two years ago, I was at one of the lowest points of my life.
00:45:50I had self-doubts that I'd ever come back to professional wrestling.
00:45:55But because of the fans, because of the love and the support that you showed me,
00:45:59I was able to pick myself up, I worked my ass off, I came back to TNA.
00:46:05And now, I am at the highest of the highs because I am your new X-Division Champion.
00:46:13Well, that right there is the former X-Division Champion, Speedball Mike Bayley.
00:46:20Speedball Mike Bayley, who played it fast and loose with the X-Division Championship,
00:46:25and I think that would be an understatement ever since he captured it
00:46:30at Slammiversary in Montreal back in July.
00:46:32He put it all on the line, and he's going to do it again this year.
00:46:37Zack, I just wanted to say, congratulations.
00:46:46This championship meant that I was the best of the best, and now that's you.
00:46:58This championship meant that I was the best of the best, and now that's you.
00:47:08And you're going to have to continue to prove that,
00:47:11because I'm enacting my rematch clause, and I will see you at Victory Road.
00:47:17Wow, wow, wow.
00:47:28The only thing that makes us more sick than this love fest going on in the ring
00:47:33is being here in the state of Kentucky.
00:47:42And all of you Louisville losers know that the real star of Ultimate X was Jason Hodge.
00:47:54In fact, I think you all know that we were robbed of our X-Division Championship.
00:48:02But this is the good part, and you're going to want to pay attention, both of you.
00:48:05Look at me when I'm talking to you.
00:48:07Trust me, you're going to want to hear this.
00:48:10Oh, and Jason Hodge attacking Bayley and Wentz from behind.
00:48:14The distraction by Skyler.
00:48:17I love it when a plan comes together.
00:48:19Oh, now look at this.
00:48:20Our referee Paige Prinzevalli is running down to the ring.
00:48:26Ladies and gentlemen, per Santino Morella,
00:48:29Zachary Wentz and Mike Bayley versus the Good Hands has been made official.
00:48:35I got to give it to Santino.
00:48:37He's on the button tonight.
00:48:38He's on a roll.
00:48:39Another impromptu matchup.
00:48:40Tensions are running high following emergencies
00:48:43this past weekend right here in Louisville.
00:48:46Look at this.
00:48:47Future competitors teaming tonight, taking out the Good Hands.
00:48:57Bayley and Wentz, plenty of respect for each other as competitors.
00:49:01Going to have to put that aside here in this tag team matchup.
00:49:04Bayley has enacted his rematch clause for Victory Row
00:49:08one week away from tomorrow, live on TNA Plus in San Antonio, Texas.
00:49:17Right now, getting a little bit of teamwork
00:49:20to try to make the dream work ahead of that X Division title match.
00:49:24Jason Hodge impressed a lot of people in Ultimate X, too.
00:49:27He certainly did.
00:49:28Oh, it's going to be a standout in the X Division.
00:49:30There's John Skyler, who took part in the Ultimate X qualifying matchups
00:49:35that we saw in the lead up to Emergence.
00:49:36As well as the training of Jason Hodge for Ultimate X.
00:49:40Hashtag grip strength.
00:49:42How about John Skyler saying our X Division championship?
00:49:46They're a team.
00:49:47He feels like he's part of the family.
00:49:48And look, Skyler, Hodge, I feel like they would like Kentucky a lot more.
00:49:52I'll take him down to Pursuit Spirits.
00:49:54Introduce him to Kenny and Ryan.
00:49:56We'll be all good.
00:49:57And they'll get a much better idea.
00:49:59In comes Jason Hodge, who won TNA Cut Jack back in 2022.
00:50:05Pressing the shoulders down and a kick out.
00:50:07Talked to many of TNA officials.
00:50:09He has certainly put in his dues.
00:50:11There's all the potential in the world to be a standout in the X Division.
00:50:14He's just got a rotten attitude, unfortunately.
00:50:17So does Skyler.
00:50:18Rotten attitude.
00:50:19I mean, this guy shows up, shows out every time he's in the ring.
00:50:22I don't know what's rotten about that.
00:50:24Oh.
00:50:25Ooh.
00:50:28Now Bayley focusing on Hodge.
00:50:30Missile drop kick right to the chest of Hodge.
00:50:34And that's a huge opening for the former X Division champion
00:50:38as he looks to get a tag to the new X Division champion.
00:50:43And the tag man is John Skyler, who's legal and takes a shot at Wentz
00:50:48and puts himself in between Bayley and his corner.
00:50:51Mike Bayley was one good hand away from tagging Zach Wentz there,
00:50:56but it was another good hand who shut it all down.
00:51:00Oh, throat first into the middle rope.
00:51:02Oh, and a shot there by Hodge on the outside
00:51:05as Skyler attempted to draw the attention of the official.
00:51:08Hodge went for the roll-up neck breaker.
00:51:12Wait a minute.
00:51:13Now Skyler and Hodge in trouble.
00:51:15Uh-oh.
00:51:16Look out.
00:51:17Double knees to the good hands.
00:51:22They tried to pull one over on Bayley.
00:51:25Bayley had it scouted.
00:51:32And a tag man in comes Wentz.
00:51:36And Wentz like a house of fire lighting this match up,
00:51:40the new X Division champion.
00:51:44Kick right to the side of the head.
00:51:51Oh, knee right to the chin.
00:51:54Wentz is rolling.
00:51:56All the confidence in the world all in this past weekend.
00:51:59Oh, both here in TNA and in NXT.
00:52:02Cover.
00:52:03Oh, and it's broken up by Hodge.
00:52:07Good hands, I think.
00:52:10Underappreciated in the tag team ranks.
00:52:13They're showing you why here,
00:52:14hanging with two of the best individuals in TNA.
00:52:17Oh, pump kick to the face of Hodge.
00:52:23Look out.
00:52:24Oh, now Bayley wipes out Hodge.
00:52:33Bayley trying to call out Skyler here.
00:52:37Oh, now Wentz, shoulders down and a kick out by Skyler.
00:52:41Oh, Skyler trying to hold on to the ropes.
00:52:43Bayley broke it up.
00:52:44Wentz able to escape.
00:52:45The match continues.
00:52:47He kicked him right in his good hands, Tom.
00:52:51Oh, look out.
00:52:52UFO cutter.
00:52:55One, two, three.
00:52:57Bayley and Wentz win.
00:53:01Here are your winners, Mike Bayley and the TNA X Division
00:53:05champion, Zachary Wentz.
00:53:08Teammates tonight from one week away from tomorrow
00:53:11in San Antonio, Texas, live on TNA+.
00:53:15They will be opponents for the X Division championship
00:53:19at Victory Road.
00:53:21And there you see it.
00:53:22Bayley grabbing that championship belt.
00:53:26He hands it to Wentz tonight.
00:53:28But what will go down at Victory Road one-on-one
00:53:32for that title?
00:53:33For over 20 years, we've said it's not about weight limits.
00:53:37It's about no limits.
00:53:39Bayley and Wentz for the X Division championship
00:53:42should be limitless at Victory Road.
00:53:49No, no, no.
00:53:50You stay here.
00:53:52Calm down.
00:53:53No.
00:53:54Calm down.
00:53:55Why?
00:53:56I'm going to do this.
00:53:57You stay here.
00:53:58I'll be right back.
00:53:59I'll be right back.
00:54:02Some trouble in paradise?
00:54:04I've been told Step to Lander has requested time
00:54:07in the impact zone.
00:54:08Next.
00:54:11This past Tuesday, Rosemary returned to NXT
00:54:14at the side of Wendy Chu.
00:54:17It was Rosemary one-on-one with Paxley
00:54:19as Chu looked on.
00:54:20In the end, Paxley was able to secure the victory,
00:54:23but it didn't end there.
00:54:24Wendy Chu and Rosemary attacking Tatum Paxley.
00:54:28It took the effort of Lyra Valkyria
00:54:30to one-off Rosemary and Wendy Chu.
00:54:32And after what we saw Tuesday, does this have any bearing
00:54:35on what happened to Jordan Grace earlier tonight?
00:54:40Did you see, children,
00:54:42how much fun an assassin can have
00:54:46when the leash is taken off?
00:54:53That's all well and good.
00:54:56Getting out of it.
00:55:00I'm sorry.
00:55:01Besides the hive return,
00:55:04we can hear them again.
00:55:07Do we trust her?
00:55:10Can we trust her?
00:55:13Yes.
00:55:14No.
00:55:16What does she want with us?
00:55:19What does she want with us?
00:55:21She just wants to play.
00:55:25No!
00:55:28No one can be trusted.
00:55:30No, but she promised.
00:55:31She promised.
00:55:32She made us promise.
00:55:34She promised.
00:55:35She made us promises.
00:55:37She wants to help.
00:55:39She's going to help.
00:55:47Relax.
00:55:50I'm not entirely sure
00:55:52what in the world is going on with Rosemary,
00:55:54and at the same time, a lot has been happening
00:55:57with Step Delander, PCO, and Matt Cardona.
00:56:01Now, this past weekend,
00:56:02sold out here at Louisville at Immersion,
00:56:04PCO retained both his titles
00:56:06against Cardona and Rosemary,
00:56:09and Rosemary has been the one
00:56:11who's been the one
00:56:12who's been the one
00:56:13who's been the one
00:56:14who's been the one
00:56:15who's been the one
00:56:16who's been the one
00:56:17to retain remaining titles
00:56:19against Cardona's handpick monster
00:56:22She-Ra.
00:56:23But honestly, the situation
00:56:25between PCO, Step Delander,
00:56:27and Cardona
00:56:28is extremely complicated.
00:56:35Now, we all know that Matt Cardona
00:56:37has been causing me
00:56:39so many issues recently.
00:56:42I mean, he ruined my wedding.
00:56:45ruined my honeymoon, he's been causing issues with me and my husband PCO.
00:56:54Matt, we need to talk, get out here.
00:56:57Straight to the point.
00:57:03Seth the Lander calling out Matt Cardona to get this settled right here,
00:57:09right now.
00:57:09Matt Cardona, who multiple times has referred to Seth the Lander as his property.
00:57:18And look, I don't like that language any more than the next person,
00:57:23but there is no doubt about where Matt Cardona is coming from.
00:57:27Somebody who brought Seth the Lander onto the global scene in professional wrestling,
00:57:32and is just really off put by what she's been up to with PCO.
00:57:36It's on the countdown to emergence, Cardona put yet another challenge,
00:57:40another monster in the way of PCO.
00:57:57Matt, what's going on?
00:58:01We're meant to be best friends.
00:58:03We're tag partners.
00:58:05We've traveled the world together.
00:58:06We've done so much together.
00:58:09Why are you acting like this?
00:58:11Why are you doing this to me?
00:58:16I hear you, Steph.
00:58:17I hear you loud and clear.
00:58:20I know I've been MIA.
00:58:22I know I haven't been responding to your texts, your calls.
00:58:26I want to do this face to face.
00:58:27I owe you an apology.
00:58:32No, seriously, from the bottom of my heart, Steph, I'm sorry.
00:58:42I'm sorry I didn't crash the wedding earlier.
00:58:48I'm sorry I let you actually marry that freak PCO.
00:58:54I'm sorry I let you embarrass yourself in front of the entire world.
00:58:58I'm sorry I let you embarrass me.
00:59:03You don't speak to me like that.
00:59:05You don't disrespect me.
00:59:07You don't disrespect my husband.
00:59:10And you sure as hell don't own me.
00:59:15Well, that's where you're wrong, Stephanie.
00:59:22How could you forget signing this contract?
00:59:28I signed it, too.
00:59:30It's a day I'll never forget.
00:59:33March 13, 2023, the day I found you in Australia.
00:59:40The day I plucked you from obscurity.
00:59:44The day I promised I would change your life and career.
00:59:48And that's exactly what I've done.
00:59:52Who brought you to the United States?
00:59:55It was me.
00:59:58Who got you booked on the hottest independent wrestling
01:00:01shows around the world?
01:00:03Me.
01:00:05Who paid for your flights, your hotel, your meals?
01:00:08Me.
01:00:09Who got you your first wrestling figure?
01:00:11Me.
01:00:12Who got you on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated?
01:00:15Me.
01:00:15Who got you in your DNA?
01:00:17Me.
01:00:19I've held up my end of the contract, and now it's your turn.
01:00:24You're mine.
01:00:25You're my property.
01:00:26I own you.
01:00:37Matt, you're right.
01:00:40You did help me a lot.
01:00:41You did.
01:00:41And I thank you for that.
01:00:43But I helped myself, too.
01:00:46I worked hard.
01:00:48I had great matches.
01:00:50I got myself noticed.
01:00:52I put myself on the map.
01:00:54I got myself into TNA.
01:00:56Not you.
01:00:58I know that I'm a superstar with or without you.
01:01:04Yeah.
01:01:05And this contract, this means nothing to me.
01:01:10Hold on.
01:01:11Hold on.
01:01:11You think just crumpling that paper contract
01:01:14and throwing it on the ground means anything?
01:01:17My lawyers have a copy of that contract.
01:01:19Your lawyers that I paid for have a copy of that contract.
01:01:23TNA has a copy of that contract based in step.
01:01:26You are mine.
01:01:28You are my property.
01:01:30You will do whatever I say.
01:01:32If I say jump, you ask how high.
01:01:35If I say bark like a dog, you bark like a damn dog.
01:01:39If I say leave PCO, you leave PCO.
01:01:42What, are you crying?
01:01:44Are you crying, Steph?
01:01:45What, are you crying, Steph?
01:01:46Ha!
01:01:47Am I hurting your feelings, Steph?
01:01:48Ha!
01:01:49Am I hurting your feelings?
01:01:50You are nothing without me.
01:01:53Yeah!
01:01:54Yeah!
01:01:55Yeah!
01:01:56Yeah!
01:01:59PCO is here!
01:02:03Cardona may have taken one step, maybe 10, over that line.
01:02:09The French-Canadian Frankenstein here to defend his wife.
01:02:16Matt Cardona completely crossed the line.
01:02:19Oh, and now putting Steph to Lander in between himself and PCO.
01:02:25Coward!
01:02:33I owe you.
01:02:35I owe you, Steph, to my property.
01:02:38You are mine.
01:02:40You are mine to my system.
01:02:43Well, right now we turn our attention
01:02:45to what's still to come, our main event, Moose of the System and JDC.
01:02:49face Joe Hendry and Mike Santana.
01:02:51But coming up next, Eric Young collides with Jade Something on Impact.
01:02:55You know, when the past reminds you of how good you were,
01:03:02the future awaits our fate.
01:03:08Next week, man, we gotta win.
01:03:11Yeah, we do have to win.
01:03:12I mean, we are former WWF, WWE, WCW, Ring of Honor.
01:03:18And TNA World Tag Team Champions.
01:03:20We are two-time TNA World Tag Team Champions.
01:03:23And when we face you next week, System, Ryan Myers and Eddie Edwards,
01:03:28we are looking to make a statement by deleting you and whipping your ass.
01:03:33Because when we beat you, that means if you win the championships at Victory Road
01:03:37from ABC, then we should get a shot.
01:03:40And if ABC retains their titles, then we should get a shot.
01:03:43Either way, we are in the mix.
01:03:45Something you said earlier about us being great in the past.
01:03:47I am sick of the past tense.
01:03:49People tell us all the time, my God, you guys were my childhood.
01:03:52You were my favorites.
01:03:53You guys were great.
01:03:54You were great.
01:03:54It is not you were great.
01:03:58It is we are great.
01:04:01And by winning the TNA World Tag Team titles, we are going to cement
01:04:05the greatness of the Hardys, the damn GOATS, the greatest of all time.
01:04:12Matt and Jeff Hardy will be at Victory Road one week away from tomorrow,
01:04:18live on TNA Plus in San Antonio, Texas.
01:04:22You've been waiting for a long time.
01:04:27You've been waiting for a long time.
01:04:32For a long time.
01:04:35For a long time.
01:04:38For a long time.
01:04:40For a long time.
01:04:42The following contest is a one-fall.
01:04:45Introducing first, from Franklin, Tennessee,
01:04:48he is the world-class maniac, Eric Young.
01:04:53This past weekend, an emergent sold out right here in Louisville,
01:04:57which it can relive any time on demand on TNA Plus.
01:05:00Eric Young had a hell of a battle against Steve Macklin.
01:05:04Eric Young hit the pile driver on Macklin at one point,
01:05:08but the former TNA World Champion, Macklin,
01:05:11endured and somehow got the win against Young.
01:05:14Earlier on tonight, EY said he has a lot of respect for Macklin,
01:05:18and will stand by his side any time he needs an ally.
01:05:22And that statement alone is no small thing.
01:05:36We all know Steve Macklin in his time here in TNA
01:05:39has not had a lot of people willing to call him ally.
01:05:43That endorsement, that statement from a TNA original,
01:05:47why Young is a big deal.
01:05:51Speaking of big.
01:05:57His opponent, he is Jake Something.
01:06:01Also earlier on tonight, Eric Young expressed a lot of respect
01:06:04for Jake Something.
01:06:06The irony is that last week, I couldn't say that Jake Something
01:06:09showed a lot of respect for what was going down in the ring.
01:06:12It was the TNA World Tag Team Champions, the ABC,
01:06:16who defeated Jake and Cody Diener after the fact.
01:06:19First class had dropped the ABC.
01:06:26And instead of acting, Jake Something did nothing
01:06:30and walked away.
01:06:32So instead of doing something, you would say.
01:06:36But here's the thing, Tom.
01:06:38Look, you may not like, you may want the white knight
01:06:41kind of behavior, but look, that had nothing to do
01:06:44with Jake Something.
01:06:45That's not his business.
01:06:47He was there trying to beat the ABC.
01:06:49It didn't get done.
01:06:50He's probably a little frustrated.
01:06:52I don't blame Jake Something.
01:06:55Jake Something has been volatile as of late.
01:06:58I'll put it that way.
01:06:59Been a hot and cold relationship between himself and his cousin,
01:07:01Cody Diener, when they have tagged together.
01:07:04It's been a frustrating past year here in TNA for Jake Something.
01:07:09First on the scene returning to this company,
01:07:11a slammerversary last summer in Ultimate X.
01:07:15Challenge for the Exhibition Championship at Rebellion.
01:07:18And he just hasn't quite found his place yet in this company.
01:07:22Well, I know better than to actually try.
01:07:24Cover.
01:07:25Hooked to the leg and a kick out by EY.
01:07:27And try to get Jake Something 101.
01:07:30He's a little intimidating.
01:07:31But I've heard rumblings in the locker room, Tom.
01:07:33I mean, you kind of hit the nail on the head, surprisingly.
01:07:37But yeah, Jake Something, a guy like that who I've said
01:07:40for a long time is somebody who's right on the precipice
01:07:43of being a guy on top here in TNA.
01:07:47He thought coming back.
01:07:48Cover.
01:07:49Hooked to the leg.
01:07:50Young, able to kick out.
01:07:51He thought coming back this past year,
01:07:53he's in the best shape of his life, the best mindset,
01:07:55that he would rise to that occasion.
01:07:57It has not worked out that way.
01:07:59And the frustration has just built.
01:08:01And Jake Something, it's been full bore,
01:08:03straight out of the gates in this matchup.
01:08:05And you can see the frustration.
01:08:07It's all over his face.
01:08:09That animalistic noise.
01:08:11Oh, the powerbomb from Jake Something.
01:08:14And the kick out by Young.
01:08:16And already early in this matchup,
01:08:19the frustration that he can't put away Eric Young already
01:08:23is starting to boil over for Jake Something.
01:08:27There's no shame in having to work
01:08:31to put away a two-time TNA world champion, Steve Macklin.
01:08:35We thought had sustained a pretty serious injury
01:08:38in the course of emergence.
01:08:39And had to gut it out to put away Eric Young.
01:08:41And earned his respect for the process.
01:08:44Cover.
01:08:45That straight jab to the face and a kick out.
01:08:51And the frustration.
01:08:52Jake's incensed tonight.
01:08:53Look.
01:08:54And I identify with that long-term frustration
01:08:58of not hitting the goal you want to.
01:09:00But in a match, in an individual situation like this,
01:09:03you have to try to keep your composure as long as possible.
01:09:07And that often leads to mistakes.
01:09:11I want the success for Jake Something
01:09:13if he can keep it together here.
01:09:15Young trying to quicken the pace here.
01:09:18Oh, and a big clothesline to Jake Something.
01:09:23Oh, and a big discus lariat.
01:09:25And Jake Something goes down.
01:09:27And Eric Young has found an opening somehow.
01:09:30If there's anybody in this company who
01:09:32knows about going through ups and downs
01:09:35to the world title, to get to the top of the mountain,
01:09:37it is Eric Young.
01:09:39Oh, 100%.
01:09:41Hammer fist to the spine, however.
01:09:43Young went to try and get Jake Something up
01:09:45for the Death Valley Driver.
01:09:48The big 265-pound powerhouse.
01:09:51Oh, wait a minute.
01:09:52Now up onto the shoulders of Young and the DVD.
01:09:56Is it enough to get the win?
01:09:58Jake Something gets the right shoulder up in time.
01:10:01We know how beastly strong Jake Something is.
01:10:04But how about the power of EY?
01:10:10And Young calling for the elbow drop.
01:10:12And Jake Something back up to his feet.
01:10:14Young able to roll through.
01:10:16All thought about into the void.
01:10:19Oh, now Young.
01:10:21Pile driver by Young.
01:10:24Cover.
01:10:26Eric Young has beaten Jake Something.
01:10:30Here is your winner, Eric Young.
01:10:34The TNA original bounces back from a loss at Emergence.
01:10:39Meanwhile, Jake Something, one more time seemingly,
01:10:44has to go back to that drawing board.
01:10:48A great way for Eric Young to rebound after Emergence.
01:10:54I have to say, Jake Something, he put it all out there.
01:10:58This was a full blown assault on Eric Young
01:11:01Eric Young throughout this matchup is nothing to be ashamed of.
01:11:05Put all his effort forward.
01:11:07And look, he does that every match.
01:11:09Eric Young, even here, once again, offering the handshake.
01:11:13It's a bold move from EY there.
01:11:16Wait a second.
01:11:17Oh, and Jake Something decks Young from behind.
01:11:22Maybe something has had enough here.
01:11:26Into the void.
01:11:29Oh, and Jake Something decks Young from behind.
01:11:34Maybe something has had enough here.
01:11:38Into the void.
01:11:59What's his name?
01:12:01Because he sure as hell just did something.
01:12:09Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:12:10There's Steve Macklin.
01:12:11Steve Macklin rushing into the ring to protect Eric Young.
01:12:18Eric Young said earlier on tonight that any time Macklin needs an ally,
01:12:22he'd have his back.
01:12:23And Macklin stepping up for Young in the first place.
01:12:28Well, right now, I want to turn our attention to what happened this past
01:12:31weekend at NXT.
01:12:32No mercy.
01:12:33Joe Hendry challenged Ethan Page for the NXT championship and nearly won it.
01:12:38Had it not been for a distraction of the special guest referee,
01:12:41Trick Williams, and Ethan Page hitting the low blow.
01:12:44Joe Hendry could have walked out with the NXT championship.
01:12:47Page retained.
01:12:48But what an effort by Joe Hendry.
01:12:50And what an effort by Eric Young.
01:12:53Excuse me, Joe Hendry.
01:12:55I just wanted to get a word.
01:12:56What happened at Emergence and what happened at NXT?
01:13:00Well, Gia, this is becoming an all too common occurrence.
01:13:04Joe Hendry's about to claim the prize and taken away from him,
01:13:08unfairly in an instant.
01:13:10And what's more,
01:13:11Joe Hendry is the only one in the world who's been able to do that.
01:13:14He's the only one.
01:13:15He's the only one.
01:13:16He's the only one.
01:13:17He's the only one.
01:13:18And I suppose this is the part where I should just quit.
01:13:25I should just go home.
01:13:27Well, not this guy.
01:13:30Because everyone knows you cannot deny Joe Hendry.
01:13:33You cannot deny Joe Hendry's momentum.
01:13:36And they also know that wherever you see this face is the place to be.
01:13:40And that place, Gia, is TNA Wrestling.
01:13:43Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a TNA World Championship.
01:13:47To chase.
01:13:50Hendry is in action in our main event next.
01:13:56Welcome back to TNA Impact.
01:13:58TNA Wrestling is thrilled to announce its newest signing to the Knockouts division,
01:14:02Heather Reckless.
01:14:04And we can tell you that next week,
01:14:06Heather Reckless will have her first match as an official member of the TNA roster
01:14:10against Giselle Shaw, right here on Impact.
01:14:17Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time.
01:14:19She is the newest Knockout to be joining TNA Wrestling, Heather Reckless.
01:14:26Thank you so much, Gia.
01:14:27I'm so excited to be here in TNA.
01:14:30I'm here to show the world in the Knockouts division why my name is Heather Reckless.
01:14:37Oh my God, Gia.
01:14:38Listen.
01:14:39We have an emergency.
01:14:40Do you see the trash that's running around here in the Knockouts division?
01:14:44Oh my gosh, Ash.
01:14:45So nice to see you.
01:14:46Gia, why are you wasting your time on nobodies?
01:14:50Spend time with someone on my level.
01:14:52Ash, this is scheduled time.
01:14:53Scheduled time?
01:14:54We can talk later.
01:14:55Listen, you don't know what you're doing.
01:14:56Get the hell out of here.
01:14:57Hit the bricks.
01:14:58Listen, Heather.
01:14:59Welcome to the show.
01:15:00But if you want to make it somewhere in this business,
01:15:02you got to be like Miss Ash by elegance.
01:15:04Her beauty.
01:15:05Her magnificence.
01:15:06Look at that hair.
01:15:07You can learn a thing or two if you keep your eye and you watch.
01:15:09She's absolutely stunning.
01:15:11Yes.
01:15:12Don't listen to any of the trash around this division.
01:15:15Listen to-
01:15:16Wow.
01:15:17If it isn't Dumber and Dumbest.
01:15:19Listen to me, you filth.
01:15:21If it isn't trash.
01:15:22You know what?
01:15:24You two better have some respect around here.
01:15:26Because the Knockouts division was built around respect.
01:15:29And you would understand that had you been working on your narcissism.
01:15:33But clearly we haven't made any progress now, have we?
01:15:36Talking about progress.
01:15:38Progress?
01:15:39What kind of progress have you made in your entire career?
01:15:43You know what, Ash?
01:15:44What?
01:15:45I'm going to warn you.
01:15:46One more disrespectful word out of your mouth and you're probably going to lose a tooth.
01:15:51I'd like to see you try, nobody.
01:15:55Yeah.
01:15:57Oh my God!
01:15:58Are you okay?
01:15:59No, relax.
01:16:00My face!
01:16:01Let's get the hell out of here.
01:16:02Come on.
01:16:03That was so disrespectful.
01:16:04Oh my God.
01:16:05What trash!
01:16:06What?
01:16:07This Thursday on an all-new TNA Impact.
01:16:10It's the final stop before Victory Road in San Antonio.
01:16:13The TNA World Tag Team Champions ABC look to continue their momentum atop the Tag Team division.
01:16:19As they take on First Class in a Tornado Match.
01:16:22Steve Macklin faces off against Hammerstone one-on-one.
01:16:26Plus, Matt and Jeff Hardy look for revenge on the system as they face off against Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards.
01:16:33It's a can't-miss edition of TNA Impact.
01:16:36Next Thursday at 8 Eastern on AXS TV.
01:16:39But first, tomorrow night on Explosion, Frankie Kazarian battles Sami Callihan.
01:16:44Exclusively on TNA Plus.
01:16:49TNA! TNA! TNA!
01:16:52Well, tonight here on TNA Impact, we are set for our main event.
01:16:58Trust the system.
01:17:01TNA! TNA! TNA!
01:17:09The following is the Tag Team Match.
01:17:11Introducing first, being accompanied by Alicia Edwards, the team of JDC.
01:17:16And move!
01:17:19The system reboot could be realized one week from tomorrow in San Antonio, Texas.
01:17:24Live on TNA Plus at Victory Road.
01:17:27The Militia are scheduled to defend the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles against Spitfire.
01:17:32If Spitfire loses, they must disband.
01:17:35Alicia Edwards' medical status is still uncertain for Victory Road.
01:17:39Meanwhile, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers get their rematch for the TNA World Tag Team Titles against the ABC.
01:17:45And Moose gets his contractual rematch for the TNA World Championship against Nick Nimmit at Victory Road.
01:17:54Avatar, they could get a big boon right now ahead of all that.
01:17:58If they win tonight, JDC is officially in the system.
01:18:25And Joe Hendry appears to be all business tonight.
01:18:29Coming off of a disappointing weekend at Emergence and of course NXT No Mercy.
01:18:35He bumped into Josh Alexander, however, earlier on tonight and told The Walking Weapon, quote,
01:18:41I will never forget what you did to me at Slammiversary.
01:18:45Alexander low-blowing Hendry and costing him, perhaps, the TNA World Title.
01:18:52Hang on a second, hang on a second.
01:18:55Let's bring that music down because, you know,
01:18:58I have a feeling that I know what's about to happen in the ring with this system
01:19:04because this is the part where we all wave our hands.
01:19:07I move over there, I get inside, I spin around and then you guys attack me, right?
01:19:15That's how it goes.
01:19:17Well, tonight, I think maybe it's you guys that should be spinning around.
01:19:29What the hell is he talking about?
01:19:33Oh, wait, what the hell is this?
01:19:34Oh, look, there's Hendry's tag team partner, Mike Santana.
01:19:38Turnabout is fair play.
01:19:40Oh, real sportsmanlike.
01:19:43The fix is in here.
01:19:46And Santana and Hendry laying into JDC.
01:19:50And Moose, this match is not yet officially underway.
01:19:55And what a cheap shot from Hendry and Santana.
01:20:00And the system sent to the outside by Hendry and Santana.
01:20:09Look, the system can re-
01:20:11Wait a second.
01:20:12Back of your screen.
01:20:14Josh Alexander is in the impact zone once again tonight.
01:20:18Earlier on this inning, he destroyed the matchup between Kushida and Laredo Ken.
01:20:23Was put into an impromptu matchup against Kushida.
01:20:26Came out with the victory.
01:20:28And as I mentioned, bumped into Joe Hendry making his way to ringside here.
01:20:36Josh Alexander, I think, is going to join us on commentary.
01:20:42I just wanted a front row seat.
01:20:43You know, see a real wrestler like Joe Hendry gets it done.
01:20:46This match is about to begin.
01:20:48This, your main event, will get underway here on TNA Impact.
01:20:53Picture in picture.
01:21:00This tag team main event.
01:21:02With a lot on the line, quite frankly, for JDC.
01:21:06He wants to become an official part of the system.
01:21:08He's got to get the win here tonight.
01:21:11But meanwhile, Josh Alexander, you're joining us out here to get a front row seat.
01:21:15I have to imagine to get a bird's eye view of Mr. Joe Hendry here.
01:21:18Oh, well, like everybody else, I find Joe Hendry very entertaining.
01:21:22But that all ends once the match-
01:21:24Oh, you heard the bell.
01:21:25The entertainment's over.
01:21:26Now we got to see Joe Hendry try and survive.
01:21:28I know he believes.
01:21:30Not me.
01:21:32Well, this match is now officially underway.
01:21:34This is JDC to start things off against Joe Hendry.
01:21:37Joe Hendry.
01:21:38Josh, are you proud of the way that you've conducted yourself this evening?
01:21:41I'm extremely proud of the way I've conducted myself this evening
01:21:44because I made a statement.
01:21:45I let everybody know.
01:21:46I reminded everybody just who I am.
01:21:48And I'm doing everything on my time, my way.
01:21:52Josh, I just don't understand.
01:21:53What happened to the guy that I met damn near three years ago
01:21:56who was willing to put in all the work,
01:21:58and now you're attacking people in the middle of their matches?
01:22:01I get that you're disappointed you didn't win the TNA world title
01:22:04in your match at Emergence.
01:22:06But this is what you're going to do now?
01:22:08You want to point the finger of blame on why I'm doing the things
01:22:11the way I'm doing them?
01:22:12Look no further than that man right there.
01:22:14These people in this audience, Tom, they turned their back on me.
01:22:18I did this the right way.
01:22:19I came up 19 years wrestling around the world
01:22:22against the very best to become the best.
01:22:26And Joe Hendry, what?
01:22:27He skips the line because he has a viral video.
01:22:29All of a sudden, these fans decide to clamor to him.
01:22:33It's not my fault.
01:22:34Nothing but truth.
01:22:35Nothing but facts out there.
01:22:37No culpability, Josh.
01:22:38Let's be honest.
01:22:39That's a big word, Tom, and I'm going to take it as disrespect.
01:22:42Matt, you can send me the next question.
01:22:46Josh, I'll ask you then.
01:22:50I'm going to say, when you get your hands,
01:22:52get a chance to get your hands on Joe Hendry,
01:22:54what's the first order of business?
01:22:56Let's talk about that.
01:22:57Well, first and last order of business is exposing him
01:23:00for the fraud that he is.
01:23:01And it's not his fault.
01:23:03Like I said, viral sensation.
01:23:05All the people are behind him,
01:23:06but he's not prepared to be in the ring with the best,
01:23:10let alone people like Moose JDC.
01:23:14We talk about it all the time in wrestling, right?
01:23:16It's all well and good, but at some point,
01:23:18the bell's got to ring, to your point.
01:23:21You couldn't be more right, Matt.
01:23:24Spine first into the turnbuckle.
01:23:26Go, JDC.
01:23:27Santana makes a tag.
01:23:28In comes Joe Hendry.
01:23:30Look at the opportunities that Joe Hendry has earned,
01:23:33being in the same main event of Slammiversary as yourself.
01:23:37And you low blowed him that night.
01:23:39Here's the cover and a kick out.
01:23:42When you're in that position, Tom,
01:23:43you've got to be ready for anything.
01:23:44I was in that position for a very long time.
01:23:48You have to be ready for anything,
01:23:50and Joe Hendry wasn't.
01:23:51It just exposed him for who he is.
01:23:53And Joe Hendry, this past weekend,
01:23:54got a chance at the NXT Championship
01:23:56against a former tag team partner, Ethan Page.
01:24:01We are back here on TNA Impact.
01:24:03This is our main event.
01:24:05The System, Moose, and JDC
01:24:07up against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana,
01:24:11the stakes specifically for JDC.
01:24:13If he wins and helps the System win,
01:24:16he will officially be a part of the System.
01:24:18If not, things could get ugly.
01:24:20But right now, it's Joe Hendry and Mike Santana
01:24:23attempting to rebound off of Emergence,
01:24:26and we're joined on commentary
01:24:28by Josh Alexander,
01:24:30who has been blowing up the Impact Zone
01:24:32throughout the evening.
01:24:34You don't feel like referring to me
01:24:36as the standard of TNA anymore?
01:24:38Oh, yeah, that was ad nauseam for you, Tom.
01:24:41That was yours, right?
01:24:42You came up with that.
01:24:43Bump kick right to the face there
01:24:45by the face of the franchise.
01:24:49I can't call you the Iron Man anymore, can I?
01:24:52Wow.
01:24:53Oh, you want to start problems with me, Tom?
01:24:54I'm sitting right beside you.
01:24:55You want to do commentary for the rest of the show,
01:24:57and from here on out,
01:24:58you better watch what you say.
01:24:59Hey, Tom, you saw how Josh Alexander
01:25:01handled problems earlier tonight, right?
01:25:03Your eyes were open.
01:25:05I hope so.
01:25:09Right now, JDC's got to get his eyes open.
01:25:14Look out low!
01:25:15Edwards, who is not medically cleared to compete.
01:25:19I don't even know why she's out here at ringside
01:25:21running a distraction there,
01:25:23preventing Hendry from going after the system.
01:25:25I should have said it.
01:25:26It should have been Hendry who kept his eyes open.
01:25:28My mistake.
01:25:30Like I said, you have to have eyes
01:25:31in the back of your head
01:25:32when you got people gunning for you
01:25:33when you want to be at the top of the mountain.
01:25:35Everybody's trying to knock you off.
01:25:37So, Josh, right now,
01:25:38the man at the top of the mountain
01:25:39is still Nick Nemeth, the TNA world champion.
01:25:41Did it bother you that immediately
01:25:43after Emergence went off the air
01:25:45that he accepted the contractual rematch challenge
01:25:48by Moose for their world title match?
01:25:50We're going to see it, Victory Road.
01:25:51Champions got to do what they got to do
01:25:53after being in the ring with Nick Nemeth.
01:25:54You know, he did come out on top in the Ironman match.
01:25:57I got to give him his due.
01:25:58But on any given night, it can go any way.
01:26:01Everybody's got a puncher's chance.
01:26:02And, you know, I just started business
01:26:04off the right way today.
01:26:05That's why I came out and made a statement
01:26:08with Kushida, with Laredo.
01:26:09You started off business the right way.
01:26:11Okay.
01:26:12That's rich, Josh.
01:26:13That's really rich.
01:26:14Come on, Joe, believe.
01:26:16Believe in yourself.
01:26:18Joe, believe.
01:26:19That's all you need to do, right?
01:26:20That's all it takes.
01:26:21You got to believe.
01:26:26What's the over-under on how long
01:26:27Joe Hendry lasts in an Ironman match?
01:26:29How about that?
01:26:30Oh, he'll last the full 60.
01:26:32I'm just saying the count's going to be off
01:26:33and the score will be stacked against him
01:26:35by the end of it.
01:26:36Josh, let me ask you this.
01:26:37What's your plan of getting back
01:26:39to the TNA World Championship now?
01:26:41You know, I am a fighting professional wrestler.
01:26:46I have climbed the ladder before.
01:26:48And yes, I got knocked down a rung or two.
01:26:51But I'm going to climb my way right back there
01:26:53and I'm going to start with someone like Joe Hendry.
01:26:57Guillotine applied here by JDC on Joe Hendry.
01:27:01Well, look at Hendry.
01:27:02Plenty of life in him.
01:27:03Plenty of fight in Joe Hendry.
01:27:07There's a lot of heart.
01:27:09A lot of heart in Joe Hendry.
01:27:10Can't deny that.
01:27:11He's a strong kid.
01:27:13Look at that.
01:27:14Oh, and a suplex by Hendry.
01:27:19There you go.
01:27:22Get up and get it done, Joe.
01:27:23Come on, get up and get it done.
01:27:26How deep can he dig?
01:27:27That's the question.
01:27:29Trying to get a tag here.
01:27:30Gets it to Mike Santana.
01:27:32And Santana to meet Moose.
01:27:34And Santana has his own bandana with Moose
01:27:37to lead up to Slammiversary.
01:27:39JDC was sent by Moose to take Santana
01:27:43out of the road to Slammiversary qualifying matches.
01:27:46Moose cost Santana a shot at his then TNA world title.
01:27:51Santana's head, his eyes, his crosshairs
01:27:55squarely on the system ever since.
01:28:03Out of the corner, Santana.
01:28:06Oh, kick right to the face of Moose.
01:28:10And no doubt, Santana's a dangerous man.
01:28:14Kick right to the face.
01:28:16And the realist plants JDC.
01:28:19JDC's got to get it together.
01:28:21I mean, if he wants those dreams of being
01:28:23officially in the system, look out.
01:28:26Oh, the Rolling Buck 50.
01:28:32Santana, pretty impressive.
01:28:35Starting to cook here in the impact zone.
01:28:37Look out.
01:28:38JDC launched into Moose by Santana.
01:28:42There you go.
01:28:45Oh.
01:28:46Oh, maybe you should focus on the match at hand.
01:28:49Don't worry about me.
01:28:52Oh!
01:28:55Another low blow and sent Hendry into the post.
01:29:01Oh, and Santana goes after Alexander.
01:29:06The referee was checking on the system.
01:29:09Didn't see Alexander strike Hendry.
01:29:11And the match is still going on.
01:29:13And Santana sticking his nose where it don't belong.
01:29:17Hendry, to Josh Alexander's point,
01:29:19should have been paying attention.
01:29:20He's got a match going on, a main event nonetheless.
01:29:26Santana is fired up.
01:29:28And now JDC once again going after Santana.
01:29:32Pump kick right to the side of the head.
01:29:34Now Santana fighting two on one here.
01:29:38This is a bad place to be for Mike Santana.
01:29:42Spear by Moose.
01:29:45Is this it?
01:29:46Could this be?
01:29:47Could it be?
01:29:48The system wins.
01:29:52Here are your winners, JDC and Moose.
01:29:56And not only did the system win, we can say that officially.
01:29:59Because as of that result, JDC is in, baby.
01:30:04It is official.
01:30:06Oh, it's beautiful, Tom.
01:30:08It's beautiful.
01:30:09It warms your heart.
01:30:13Is the stage set for a complete system reboot?
01:30:19We will find out one week from tomorrow
01:30:23live on TNA Plus in San Antonio, Texas
01:30:28at Victory Road.
01:30:36Not too bad, Moose.
01:30:38Not too bad.
01:30:40You got a new catchphrase.
01:30:41The system is reboot.
01:30:44Well, all you had to do was look me in the eye
01:30:50and say you wanted to fight me.
01:30:51You know why, Moose?
01:30:52Since day one, I wanted to beat the best.
01:30:55That's why the very first night I showed up,
01:30:58I kicked your teeth down your throat.
01:31:00And you know what?
01:31:01I've never beaten you, Moose.
01:31:03All you had to do was step to me face to face.
01:31:05Now that I'm the TNA champion, I'm a fighting champion.
01:31:10All you had to do was look me in the eye.
01:31:12But you know what?
01:31:13You took the easy way out, the coward's way out,
01:31:16the child's way out.
01:31:18You couldn't be a man and look me in the eye.
01:31:20You went to social media.
01:31:22Now, it's one thing for a wrestler
01:31:24to post his own ideas there.
01:31:25But for fans to say, you're the best.
01:31:27You're the greatest of all time.
01:31:29You're the most underrated.
01:31:30You deserve it.
01:31:32They make a good point.
01:31:34Moose, at Victory Road,
01:31:37you and I go toe-to-toe one more time.
01:31:39I look you straight in the eye,
01:31:40and I'm gonna beat you because it's been killing me
01:31:43for months that I didn't get to pin
01:31:45the man that I thought was the best.
01:31:48Victory Road.
01:31:50Moose, you can reboot the system all you want,
01:31:52but you will never, ever take out the wanted man.
01:32:02VICTORY ROAD
