00:00A match by elegance? That sounds like a brilliant idea!
00:08The following is a six-person tag team match.
00:11Introducing team number one, first from Liverpool, England,
00:15Zayah Brookside!
00:17Very curious to see how the juggernaut responds to that challenge,
00:21but what we're about to see is extremely complicated when you look at it.
00:26Zayah Brookside was the maid of honor for Step to Lander
00:30in her wedding to PCO weeks ago,
00:33and is now in this six-person tag team match.
00:38And is teaming up with PCO's best man-beast.
00:43From Detroit, Michigan, the War Machine, Rhino!
00:48I've never hated wordplay more than I do right now
00:51after you say things like that.
00:53Finally, we have this weird, twisted group here.
00:56PCO and his wedding party out here.
01:00Standing by inside, good for them,
01:03in this whole, as you said, Tom, very complicated situation
01:07with Step to Lander and Matt Cardona and everybody else involved.
01:23PCO! PCO! PCO! PCO!
01:29PCO! PCO! PCO!
01:33Their partner, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
01:36he's the TNA digital media
01:38and the international heavyweight wrestling champion,
01:42the French-Canadian Frankenstein,
01:45PCO!
01:48Charged by the love of his life,
01:50his new bride, Step to Lander,
01:53the double champion set to team up with his own wedding party,
01:57as you put it,
01:59in a situation that's become extremely complicated.
02:03PCO, Rhino and Zaya Brookside
02:05are about to face off against Matt Cardona
02:08and PCO's own wife.
02:11This is an emotional wreck for everybody involved.
02:17Oh, my!
02:19Their opponent, first from Sydney, Australia,
02:23Step to Lander!
02:30It's giving Elvira, Tom.
02:32It is.
02:33But you have to imagine how she's feeling,
02:35knowing she's on the other side of the ring
02:38from her husband's wedding party.
02:42I don't know entirely how this is going to play out.
02:45We saw how the honeymoon was destroyed weeks ago
02:49by Matt Cardona.
02:57Hold on, hold on, hold on, guys.
03:04Oh, my God.
03:06Oh, my God.
03:08Hold on, guys.
03:13Listen, I am a man of my word.
03:17I signed the contract to wrestle tonight.
03:22But even you dumb fans can realize I'm not in ring gear.
03:27You see Santino, he didn't do his due diligence.
03:31I'm not medically cleared to compete yet.
03:35I would if I could, but the DNA doctors won't let me.
03:38Steph, don't worry.
03:40You know how to surprise partners.
03:43Bring him out!
03:47Well, that's a new development.
03:49Two new partners for Steph to Lander.
03:52Oh, my God.
03:53Wait a second.
03:55Wait a second.
03:59He is the self-proclaimed
04:01Madness Man in DNA, Khan.
04:05Khan, who's backed up Steph to Lander in the past
04:08and has had a vicious rivalry with PCO.
04:23Their partner, from Toledo, Ohio,
04:26Madman Fulton.
04:28And, oh, but you talk about making his return to the impact zone.
04:32Madman Fulton is back!
04:35Two monsters backing up Matt Cardona here.
04:44And look at the expression on the face of Steph to Lander.
04:52He certainly seems like a less than willing participant in all this.
04:59It was not a happy honeymoon, but she is happily married.
05:05Steph to Lander, listen, she was put in this matchup by DNA.
05:08She came out here to compete as a wrestler who's conflicted.
05:12Obviously, she's trying to indicate to Matt Cardona,
05:15I'm married to PCO.
05:17And Matt Cardona trying to flip this situation around,
05:20putting two monsters in the corner of STL.
05:23I don't know what Cardona's trying to stir up here
05:26between Stephanie and PCO.
05:29Like, again, I've said it before,
05:31we know the history with Matt Cardona and Steph to Lander.
05:35I mean, he linked up with her and she backed him up all over.
05:38And look at this, PCO outside the ring went after Matt Cardona.
05:42You can understand why PCO tried to get his hands
05:45on the man who ruined his wedding, ruined his honeymoon.
05:52Maybe ruining his marriage.
05:56This monstrous six-person tag team match continues.
06:00Picture in picture.
06:04And this thing has started in chaos
06:07as if it was going to go any other way.
06:09Now, Rhyno out here trying to even the odds.
06:12And Steph to Lander was trying to check on PCO,
06:15trying to check on her husband.
06:17And now Ziya Brookside all over the back of Mad Max Fulton.
06:22This is completely out of control.
06:24Surprise opponents here, courtesy of Matt Cardona.
06:27Two monsters to join Steph to Lander,
06:30who's on the opposite side of the ring from her husband.
06:33I feel like I've said that ten times now,
06:35but it bears repeating.
06:37Referee Paige Prinzevalli trying to get control of this situation.
06:41Best of luck with that.
06:42It's Khan back inside the ring with PCO.
06:45PCO is busted open at the mouth.
06:48I mentioned it when Khan came out here.
06:51This has been a vicious rivalry
06:53that we've seen play out here in 2024
06:55between PCO and Khan.
06:58We saw it in that Nasty Monsters ball match.
07:02And it's been a minute since we've seen Mad Man Fulton,
07:05but I mean, just look at it.
07:06Seems to be in the best shape of his career.
07:09A dangerous man in and of himself.
07:11And now Ziya Brookside stepping to the baddest man in TNA.
07:21Back up, back up, back up.
07:23Stop! Stop!
07:25I'm voting for Rhyno!
07:27Oh!
07:28Rhyno! Rhyno! Rhyno!
07:33Rhyno!
07:35Look at Ziya Brookside, though.
07:38Rhyno! Rhyno! Rhyno! Rhyno! Rhyno! Rhyno! Rhyno!
07:47Ziya Brookside's biting Khan!
07:51I never thought I'd see the day.
07:53That's uncouth!
07:55There might be a tooth in his hand.
07:57No kidding!
07:58It's uncouth, and there might be a tooth.
08:07Now Khan.
08:09Steph Delander over on the other side of the ring
08:11is trying to encourage her best friend or maid of honor.
08:15Steph Delander protecting her best friend, Ziya Brookside.
08:18But she's protecting her opponent in this mashup.
08:23And this all comes back to the actions of Matt Cardona
08:27inserting Khan and Madman Fulton into this situation.
08:31It completely changes the entire situation.
08:37And now Madman Fulton here.
08:39Oh!
08:40Trying to intimidate Ziya Brookside.
08:42Gets her tag to the Man Beast.
08:46Oh, the War Machine collides with Madman Fulton.
08:50Guys taking off here.
08:52Nobody hitting the canvas yet.
08:57Two super heavyweights going at it here
09:00in this extremely complicated tag team matchup.
09:04Rhyno drops Fulton.
09:07And we are back here on TNA Impact.
09:09PCO's wedding party in a six-person tag team matchup
09:13against Steph Delander, Khan, and Madman Fulton.
09:17This is chaotic to say the least, Ray.
09:20Steph Delander, meanwhile,
09:22a virtually unwilling participant in this matchup.
09:25Her husband, her best friend on the other side of the ring.
09:28But Cardona trying to make a point here
09:31obviously has been none too pleased
09:33with Steph having all her attention on her new marriage,
09:37her husband, instead of backing him up in his endeavors.
09:41And last week, we saw how our Director of Authority,
09:43Santino Marella, offered a contract
09:46to Matt Cardona to wrestle here in TNA
09:49and to face PCO in Tampa.
09:52And now look at Cardona going after Rhyno.
09:55Fulton getting the attention of the official.
10:01And Steph Delander's obviously furious
10:03with the actions of Cardona
10:05against her own husband and company.
10:08Cover and a kickout.
10:09Now, let's be clear, though.
10:10Santino Marella didn't exactly offer,
10:13quote-unquote, a contract to Cardona.
10:15Oh, you're right.
10:16He extorted him.
10:17He lied.
10:18He made it up.
10:19He was threatening to send him to jail.
10:21Matt Cardona openly admitted
10:23to assaulting the Director of Authority
10:25and crashing the wedding of PCO and Steph Delander.
10:28So, yes, there were legal grounds
10:30for Santino Marella and TNA
10:32to take action against Matt Cardona.
10:34Cardona continues to involve himself in this matchup.
10:38Luckily for the death match,
10:40King Santino Marella, as we heard,
10:42did not quite do all his homework.
10:45Cardona, yes, you see him grabbing there.
10:47He's got a torn pack.
10:49Ask him if he's okay again.
10:51Ask him if he's okay again.
10:53Say it. Say it again.
10:54Ask him.
10:56Hell no, he's not.
10:58This is all a punishment
11:01designed for Steph Delander.
11:05Get with the damn game.
11:07Shut up.
11:08Hey, come on.
11:10Tag made, Fulton's legal.
11:12We saw how during the honeymoon,
11:14Raewal Cardona attacked PCO,
11:16said Steph Delander is his property.
11:18Cardona furious.
11:20I mean, look, he feels like he made Steph Delander.
11:23He plucked her from obscurity.
11:26He made her into the death match queen alongside him.
11:29Fulton off the splash.
11:31Here's the cover.
11:32Rhino able to power out.
11:34And in a matter of weeks,
11:36this weird, sick, twisted romance with PCO forms
11:39while Matt's hurt,
11:41and all of a sudden her attention is gone.
11:43So what is wrong with Steph Delander and PCO
11:46living the rest of their lives together
11:48without Matt Cardona?
11:50Because Matt Cardona made...
11:52She wouldn't be where she is.
11:54She wouldn't be getting this spotless.
11:55She wouldn't have been in this path,
11:57this position to even meet PCO
11:59if it wasn't for Matt Cardona.
12:01Cheap shot by Fulton and PCO.
12:03He took a swipe at Xia Brookside.
12:05Oh, and Rhino dropped Fulton.
12:08I understand your point about how Cardona
12:10found Steph Delander and the two
12:12have formed an incredible partnership,
12:14but this is a new chapter of her life.
12:16Why can't she just move on and be done with that?
12:18It can be two separate things.
12:20Tag made.
12:21Perfect creation won.
12:23Finally legal end of this match.
12:26And PCO laying into Madman Fulton.
12:32Oh, big clothesline.
12:34And PCO takes a shot at Khan.
12:38Look out.
12:40And PCO through the ropes.
12:42Down goes Khan.
12:44Monster on monster violence.
12:48And it's not done yet.
12:51And PCO...
12:53And PCO all over Fulton.
12:56DDT out of the corner.
13:06PCO.
13:08Look at this.
13:09Oh, the elbow drop.
13:12A man wronged
13:14and beaten down on his own honeymoon.
13:17Trying to get some revenge here.
13:19Look out.
13:20Fulton was going up top there,
13:21was aiming for PCO.
13:22And Zaya Brookside trying to slow up Fulton.
13:25Oh, wait.
13:26Oh, God, no.
13:28Oh!
13:31Wait a minute.
13:33Oh, the Brooksy bomb with the assist from PCO.
13:36And look in the corner.
13:38Gore!
13:42If that wasn't enough,
13:44the French-Canadian Frankenstein
13:46climbing to the top.
13:48Fulton's down.
13:49Fulton's legal.
13:50PCO is legal.
13:53PCO's salt.
13:56One, two, three.
13:58PCO's wedding party wins.
14:02Here are your winners,
14:03Zaya Brookside, Rhino, and PCO.
14:08And I've never seen a member of a losing team
14:11look so happy as Step Delander was
14:13with that decision, with that outcome.
14:16Cardona's attempt to destroy the marriage of PCO
14:21and Step Delander comes up empty.
14:28But with two monsters by his side,
14:31why do I get the feeling he's just beginning?
14:35Well, right now, with emergence on the horizon,
14:38I want to turn our attention to the victory surrounding
14:41the TNA World Championship.
14:45The TNA World Championship.
