00:00And we are back here on TNA Impact in Philadelphia, sold out inside the 2300 Arena.
00:07Reeling from what we saw moments ago between AJ Francis and PCO.
00:11We now turn our attention to the knockouts.
00:17The following contest is set for white balls.
00:19Introducing first, from the Great City, she is the Boundary Club badass, Tasha Steel.
00:28As we get closer and closer to Slammiversary, the action continues to intensify.
00:33Opportunities becoming clear for that night in Montreal, live on pay-per-view and TNA+.
00:39We know that after Jordan Grace defeated Izzy Dean of NXT earlier on tonight,
00:45the knockouts world title match between Grace and Ash by elegance is once again confirmed for Slammiversary.
00:51But everyone jumping for position for opportunities.
00:54That's right, you never know when the next chance will come post-Slammiversary.
00:59No matter who is the knockouts world champion, all the knockouts here at TNA looking to be the best of the best.
01:25Her opponent, from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, she is the quintessential diva, Giselle Shaw.
01:34And Giselle Shaw, the quintessential diva herself, looks to stake her claim and rise to the top of the mountain of the knockouts division.
01:45Standing tall, standing on her own here, she's not a bit of a role lately.
01:50Can she keep that going tonight?
01:52Certainly a knockout always, a diva has been inspired by the TNA Hall of Famer, Gail Kim, who is-
01:58Oh, wait a minute!

02:42Shaw says yes, and Steeles rushes at Giselle Shaw.

04:35Steeles continues the assault series of elbow drops.
04:38Cover, cover, and Shaw kicks out.
04:41How motivated she is to get to the top of this division.
04:44Again, she knows the competition.
04:47She knows she's got to strike fast and strike first.
04:53And breaking up Steeles and Shaw before they count to five.
04:58Still to come tonight, JDC,

05:02goes one-on-one with Chris Bay at the ABC.
05:05And also, our wild card tag team matchup
05:08created by Santino Morel.
05:09A little taste of the six-way elimination match
05:12for the TNA World Championship at Slammiversary.
05:15It's Alexander and Hendry
05:17against the world champion Moose and Steve Macklin.
05:21The brainchild of Santino Morel.
05:25Another wild one.
05:26Wild card quite literally there.
05:31And now Shaw finding an opening here against Steeles.
05:36Full Nelson.
05:37Oh, back break.
05:39Boom!
05:40A face play.
05:41Calls that shock and awe.
05:43Oh, and a kick out by Steeles.
05:45Still not enough to put Tasha Steeles away.
05:47Giselle Shaw's going to have to dig down just a little deeper.
05:54Giselle Shaw has all the ability in the world between the ropes.
05:57In my opinion, it's just a matter of time
05:59until she becomes a champion in this company.
06:01Winning this match tonight would continue some much-earned momentum.
06:06Oh!
06:09Steeles connected with a kick to the head off of the top.
06:12He's going for the bulldog.
06:15Steeles.
06:16Oh, cover!
06:17The power slam by Shaw.
06:19Cover.
06:20Oh, and Steeles staying in the fight.
06:23It's going to take a little bit more than that.
06:25But a former knockouts world champion away, Giselle Shaw.
06:29Looking to find that next gear.
06:33Shaw.
06:34Oh, he's going for the denouement, the knee strike.
06:36Trying to end this thing.
06:39Kawtasha Steeles there, catches her again.
06:41Steeles wanted to cut her.
06:43Face first.
06:48Oh!
06:49Close range with the knee.
06:51Short knee there.
06:52There's the denouement!
06:54Cover!
06:55Shaw scores the win over Steeles.
