00:00:43step up and grab it.

00:00:45This is the face of the X Division.

00:00:47I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

00:00:49Smoke him if you got him.

00:00:52And I got all of them.

00:00:55Matt and Jeff Hardy on impact.

00:00:57They took out Moose and JDC.

00:00:59Joe Henry had to deal with Brian Myers.

00:01:02Santana went one-on-one with Eddie Edwards.

00:01:05This team has a lot of momentum rolling into Emergence.

00:01:12And a shot by Edwards.

00:01:14Boston Knee Party.

00:01:16The system wins.

00:01:19I'm putting on paper my rematch clothes.

00:01:24And soon, you're looking at the full-time

00:01:29TNA world champ.

00:01:33Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our main event

00:01:37here at Emergence.

00:01:38A one-hour Ironman match for the TNA world title.

00:01:43Who is the face of this company?

00:01:45Who is the standard of TNA?

00:01:47Who is the Ironman?

00:01:50Nemeth has scored a pinfall.

00:01:52Nick Nemeth has taken the lead.

00:01:55He's caught the danger zone.

00:01:58It's 2-0 Nemeth.

00:02:00Alexander just pulled something out of his knee brace.

00:02:04C4 spike.

00:02:06Alexander scores a fall.

00:02:08Another C4 spike.

00:02:11Alexander has tied it.

00:02:13Danger zone.

00:02:15Nemeth with the C4 spike.

00:02:19Nemeth takes the lead.

00:02:21Seconds remaining.

00:02:24Nick Nemeth is champion.

00:02:26Nick Nemeth is the Ironman.

00:02:29Moose, you run your mouth online

00:02:31when you're protected by your group.

00:02:34Victory Road, I got you in my sights.

00:02:38World title match and proof to the whole damn world

00:02:41not only am I the best,

00:02:43but I am your undisputed TNA champion.

00:02:57In the wake of emergence right here in Louisville, Kentucky

00:03:00this past weekend, we now look forward to Victory Road

00:03:04one week away from tomorrow in San Antonio.

00:03:08Welcome to TNA Impact.

00:03:11TNA Impact.

00:03:21Trust the system.

00:03:35Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the impact zone

00:03:38Masha Slavich, JDC, and The System.

00:03:43This past weekend at emergence,

00:03:45which you can watch back on demand anytime on TNA+.

00:03:49Moose, JDC, Eddie Edwards, and Brian Myers were victorious

00:03:54in an eight-man tag team matchup against the Hardys,

00:03:57Mike Santana, and Joe Hendry.

00:04:00However, you can see Alicia Edwards and Masha Slavich

00:04:04they are the 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

00:04:14has been in concussion protocol since emergence.

00:04:17A valiant warrior is Alicia Edwards.

00:04:20And I love Tom, every chance you get,

00:04:23Slammiversary included, you always love to throw like,

00:04:26oh, 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 for the TNA World Championship

00:04:48from Slammiversary against 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 and we have something to say.

00:05:31You ain't going to ruin our night.

00:05:34That's not going to happen.

00:05:37Everybody out there has been wishing and hoping and praying

00:05:42for a System failure.

00:05:45You idiots in the crowd have been chanting, System failure.

00:05:50But the fact is, the fact is,

00:05:53the fact is, the fact is,

00:05:56the fact is,

00:05:59the fact is,

00:06:02the system does not fail.

00:06:07All the system needed was a nice little reboot.

00:06:13And now that that's been accomplished, now that that's been done,

00:06:17it is time for the system to get back our championship gold.

00:06:30Oh, and guess what?

00:06:34As your former tag team champions,

00:06:39Eddie and I are contractually obligated for a rematch.

00:06:49So 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.

00:07:27Shut up, town.

00:07:41Now I need everybody to shut the hell up

00:07:48because the face of the franchise has something very important to say.

00:07:56Nick Nemeth,

00:08:00in two weeks,

00:08:04you get to face the guy that you've never beaten

00:08:10and beat you for that title you have around your waist.

00:08:16And like a British lad once said,

00:08:21at Victory Road, I got bad news for you

00:08:26because you're looking at the four-time TNA world champion.

00:08:35But before we get to that,

00:08:39four-time TNA world champion.

00:08:46But before we get to Victory Road,

00:08:50I have something more important to talk about.

00:08:57And that's you, JDC.

00:09:02And everybody wants to know

00:09:06what is your relationship with the system?

00:09:11Well, tonight, we have a big night.

00:09:17You have a big night.

00:09:20Because if we win that tag team matchup

00:09:24against stupid Joe Henry,

00:09:31and that old yeller Mike Santana,

00:09:36you officially become a member of the system.

00:09:46But,

00:09:50if we lose tonight,

00:09:56you're out.

00:09:59And everybody in this building

00:10:02knows what the system does to outsiders.

00:10:14Everybody is asking for their rematches.

00:10:20And I'm wicked smart, so what I did...

00:10:26Listen, I know my rights as a champion,

00:10:29and I do not need to defend my title

00:10:33more than once in 30 days.

00:10:36And I am also under the concussion protocol.

00:10:45So, therefore, I can find a suitable replacement

00:10:50if my neurologist does not clear me

00:10:53to compete to wrestle.

00:11:03Oh, and now look at this.

00:11:04Here comes Spitfire, Danny Luna, and Jody Threat.

00:11:09Threat Luna, along with Banaka,

00:11:12Threat Luna, along with the Knockouts World Champion,

00:11:15Jordan Grace, defeated the team of Aspyle

00:11:18against Masha Slavich and Alicia Edwards at Emergence.

00:11:22Hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:11:25Look, Alicia, it was unfortunate

00:11:27what happened to you at Emergence, I understand.

00:11:30But the reality of the situation is your team lost.

00:11:35Actually, the reality is we already beat you twice.

00:11:40So you can take your little two stupid faces out of here

00:11:44and go back to the dive bar you crawled out of.

00:11:54Look, every time we have wrestled,

00:11:56you have cheated to win, whether it be the referee...

00:12:00Let's get to the point.

00:12:02We talked to Santino,

00:12:04and we got another shot at victory road.

00:12:09But this time, it's do or die.

00:12:14So if you beat us, we break up as a team.

00:12:31Okay, you guys are actually going to do me a favor,

00:12:34because I'm never going to see your stupid faces again.

00:12:37And guess what? You're on.

00:12:39Victory Road, Spitfire versus Alicia.

00:12:46Some huge matches have been made, it sounds,

00:12:49for Victory Road one week from tomorrow

00:12:52in San Antonio, Texas.

00:12:54And don't forget, still to come tonight in our main event,

00:12:57Moose and JDC against Mike Santana and Joey Embry.

00:13:02That's still to come.

00:13:05Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time,

00:13:07Eric Young.

00:13:10EY, Emergence was a big night.

00:13:13Unfortunately, a tough loss for you against Steve Macklin.

00:13:16But how are you feeling after that battle?

00:13:19Yeah, pretty beat up.

00:13:20Macklin's a guy that I've known for a long time.

00:13:22And we've never touched until Emergence.

00:13:24He got one over on me, but this is what I know.

00:13:26We came to the line, we showed up like men,

00:13:29we threw down, and he got one over on me.

00:13:31But it's a guy I respect.

00:13:33He's always done things his way.

00:13:35I've always done things my way.

00:13:36And I've got his back no matter what happens going forward.

00:13:39Well, we know that there's no rest for the wicked.

00:13:42You've got another challenge ahead of you tonight

00:13:44against Jake something.

00:13:46Yeah, Jake, look, no secret.

00:13:48Big dude. Bad dude.

00:13:50We've had history.

00:13:51I know what he's all about.

00:13:53He knows what I'm all about.

00:13:54I'm gonna do what I've always done.

00:13:55I'm gonna represent myself.

00:13:57I'm gonna represent this company.

00:13:58And I'm gonna be me.

00:14:01Certainly history dating back to the days of violent by design.

00:14:05But tonight, it's Eric Young versus Jake something.

00:14:08Plus, in our main event, Moose and JDC of the System

00:14:11team up against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana.

00:14:14But coming up next, Kushida and Laredo Kidd,

00:14:17an X-Division showcase next.

00:14:26What in the hell?

00:14:28What the hell is going on?

00:14:31John Layfield is in TNA.

00:14:35First a moment in Mexico between these two.

00:14:39Some words were spoken tonight that only Nick Nemeth

00:14:42and John Layfield will truly understand.

00:14:45What is unraveling in front of our eyes?

00:14:51You know, Tom, I said it at Emergence.

00:14:54Like, what timeline are we in?

00:14:56Who's gonna show up where, when?

00:14:58John Layfield in the Impact Zone.

00:15:00Something I thought I would never say.

00:15:02I've known John Layfield for over a decade.

00:15:04John does what he wants.

00:15:07I can tell you that immediately after Emergence,

00:15:09I went backstage.

00:15:10I tried to find John Layfield.

00:15:11I was told by security he immediately left the premises.

00:15:14And thus far, the TNA world champion Nick Nemeth

00:15:16has yet to share what was spoken between him

00:15:19and John Layfield at Emergence.

00:15:27The following contest is set for one fall.

00:15:30Introducing first, from Tokyo, Japan,

00:15:33Time Splitter Kushida!

00:15:36As we get set for our first action of the night here,

00:15:39Kushida has the opportunity to rebound

00:15:41after the countdown to Emergence.

00:15:43He went one-on-one with Frankie Kazarian

00:15:45and the self-proclaimed king of TNA,

00:15:48as he consistently has done.

00:15:50Found a way to cut corners, bend the rules, and get the win.

00:15:54All I heard was Frankie Kazarian found a way to get the win.

00:15:57And you couldn't be more right, Tom,

00:15:59because that's what Frankie Kazarian does.

00:16:01That's what all that experience does for you.

00:16:05That's what makes him the king.

00:16:06That's what makes him a winner.

00:16:08It's a critical time of year, Victory Row,

00:16:10just one week away from tomorrow,

00:16:12in less than two months now,

00:16:13until Battle for Glory, our biggest event of the year.

00:16:17His opponent, from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico,

00:16:20Laredo King!

00:16:23And a reminder that every episode of TNA Impact,

00:16:26plus all of our live pay-per-views

00:16:28and monthly TNA Plus Live specials

00:16:30are available in Spanish on TNA Plus Now.

00:16:38You haven't seen anything until you've seen everything.

00:16:42It felt like we saw everything

00:16:43when Laredo Kid and Company competed in Ultimate X.

00:16:47Zachary Wentz is your new X-Division champion.

00:16:50We're going to hear from Wentz later on tonight.

00:16:53Absolute changing of the guard.

00:16:55The boys from the Treehouse have championship gold once again.

00:17:00But I mean, this is the division

00:17:02that defines TNA Wrestling to its core.

00:17:05It's not just about winning.

00:17:07This is the division that defines TNA Wrestling to its core.

00:17:11Ultimate X did not let us down in that fashion at all.

00:17:14Great example of the X-Division right here.

00:17:17Two men who have circled around the X-Division championship

00:17:20quite a bit in their careers here in TNA.

00:17:24Laredo Kid trying to make it difficult on Kushida

00:17:27here in the early going.

00:17:28Went for a cover. Kushida following suit.

00:17:30You know this opening is going to be pretty fast-paced

00:17:34given the styles of both of these wrestlers here.

00:17:38Make sure you keep your eyes open.

00:17:41A little bit of a feeling out process early on.

00:17:44You know Kushida is looking for that hoverboard launch

00:17:47trying to soften up the arm of Laredo Kid here.

00:17:50It's the beauty of watching two brilliant athletes go to work

00:17:54and especially Kushida, just such a diverse skill set.

00:17:57There is no facet of pro wrestling you can put in front of him

00:18:00and surprise him.

00:18:02That's that style.

00:18:03That's that education deep in the Japan dojo system

00:18:07coming up in this business all over the world.

00:18:10Kushida has learned to adapt to pretty much any style.

00:18:13Don't forget still to come tonight,

00:18:15Eric Young goes one-on-one with Jake Something,

00:18:19the Knockouts World Champion.

00:18:20Jordan Grace will hold yet another open challenge

00:18:23for her Knockouts World Championship.

00:18:25In our main event, it's Joe Hendry and Mike Santana

00:18:29against Moose of The System and JDC.

00:18:32Remember what Moose said earlier on?

00:18:34If JDC helps guide them to a victory,

00:18:37JDC is officially a part of The System.

00:18:40And if he doesn't, well, it could be a bad night for JDC.

00:18:43All right, let's not even talk about that possibility.

00:18:46In my heart, emotionally, he's already a part of The System.

00:18:49In my heart and the heart of many around the world.

00:18:51But I'd love to see it made official.

00:18:53Oh, going for the sunset flip there.

00:18:54Drop kick right to the face by Kushida.

00:18:58And the action in this one, I mean, as I said before,

00:19:01really has not stopped, has not slowed down.

00:19:05And it doesn't look like it will here either.

00:19:07Oh, Kushida thought he had an opening there

00:19:09with Laredo Kidd on the outside.

00:19:10But for the former TNA Digital Media Champion,

00:19:13Laredo Kidd, cover, ground quickly.

00:19:16And look at the back of your screen.

00:19:17There's Josh Alexander attacking Laredo Kidd

00:19:22and blowing up this match.

00:19:25Alexander, look out, look out.

00:19:27Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:19:28C4 spike by The Walking Weapon.

00:19:33Extra bit of gusto on that one.

00:19:35Oh, now Kushida going after Alexander.

00:19:38And Alexander attacking Kushida.

00:19:42Alexander, incensed, clearly ticked off

00:19:45after coming up short in the world title Iron Man match

00:19:48at Emergence.

00:19:49Fell short to Nick Nemeth.

00:19:51And now an ankle lock applied here on Kushida.

00:19:55Security and referees heading towards the ring.

00:19:58Looks like everybody in TNA going to feel

00:20:02the wrath of The Walking Weapon.

00:20:08Security and our referee, Daniel Spencer,

00:20:10trying to control the situation.

00:20:16Our official able to get Josh Alexander to exit the ring.

00:20:20What condition is Kushida in after this attack by Alexander?

00:20:29This is my house.

00:20:31I'm going to get you out of here.

00:20:32My time.

00:20:33Wait, wait, wait.

00:20:34Big man, big man.

00:20:35Me and Josh, one on one right now.

00:20:39Don't go, don't go.

00:20:41Get out of there.

00:20:42Get out of there, get out of there, get out of there.

00:20:44Let's go.

00:20:47Kushida wants a fight with Josh Alexander.

00:20:50And Kushida is charging after The Walking Weapon,

00:20:54preventing him from leaving the impact zone.

00:20:59I'm now trying to drag Alexander back towards the ring.

00:21:03And I'm being told that Santina Marella has

00:21:06made this match official.

00:21:08Our referee, Daniel Spencer, is in the ring.

00:21:10There's the bell.

00:21:11Kushida versus Josh Alexander is officially underway.

00:21:17Well, good on our director of authority for getting us here

00:21:20and keeping his finger on the button.

00:21:23A bitter Josh Alexander now has to deal with the time splitter, Kushida.

00:21:28This match continues here on TNA Impact.

00:21:36We are back here on TNA Impact.

00:21:38An impromptu matchup of Josh Alexander and Kushida.

00:21:42Kushida trying to control the leg of Josh Alexander.

00:21:46It was Kushida versus Laredo.

00:21:48Came before the break.

00:21:49And then Alexander blew the whole thing up.

00:21:51Kushida now an ankle lock on Alexander in a German suplex.

00:21:56Trying to add a little insult to injury here,

00:21:58taking some moves out of the Josh Alexander playbook.

00:22:02Oh, big kick by Kushida.

00:22:04There's the cover.

00:22:05Pressing the shoulders down and a kick out.

00:22:08Josh Alexander has got to be extremely bitter and angry

00:22:11after what happened at Emergence this past weekend live on TNA+.

00:22:15Nick Nemeth withstood Josh Alexander in a one-hour Iron Man match

00:22:21for the TNA World Championship.

00:22:23That match, Alexander believed, was his match to win.

00:22:28And for much of that matchup,

00:22:29it looked like it was going to happen that way.

00:22:32Alexander, especially late in the game,

00:22:34coming from a deficit,

00:22:36came and absolutely brutalized the TNA World Champion.

00:22:39But ultimately, the Wanted Man comes out victorious.

00:22:42Kushida trying to get the hoverboard lock on the outside here.

00:22:46Oh, and Alexander drives some spine first into the apron.

00:22:51As you mentioned, Tom,

00:22:53clearly the walking weapon here, none too pleased.

00:22:57The anger boiling over here on TNA Impact.

00:23:04Not ready to just leave everything left alone,

00:23:07destroying that matchup.

00:23:09And now trying to destroy Kushida outright.

00:23:12Oh, and now Alexander is in his entrance shirt

00:23:16to try and attack Kushida.

00:23:17Our referee, Daniel Spencer, getting rid of the shirt.

00:23:21Referee was sent down here.

00:23:23Bersantino Marella making a match official

00:23:25between Alexander and Kushida

00:23:27after the walking weapon destroyed the previous match.

00:23:32Kushida, despite being attacked like that,

00:23:35was more than ready to answer that challenge.

00:23:39Look at this, a defiant Kushida.

00:23:41Think about the irony.

00:23:42It was last year that Kushida was chasing Josh Alexander

00:23:47in his then TNA World Championship

00:23:50prior to a torn left tricep suffered by Josh Alexander.

00:23:55Many have speculated

00:23:56was because of the hoverboard lock of Kushida.

00:24:02Oh!

00:24:04A backbreaker.

00:24:05Here's the cover.

00:24:06Shoulders down and a kick out.

00:24:08There were many who thought Kushida

00:24:10could have been next in line

00:24:11for the TNA World Championship.

00:24:13These two have never gone one-on-one before,

00:24:16so imagine how kicked off Kushida must be.

00:24:18This is a man that he's wanted to face in the past,

00:24:21and then Alexander,

00:24:22this completely different side of him,

00:24:24bursts onto the scene and blows up this match.

00:24:27Yeah, I'm sure this is not the one-on-one match

00:24:30that Kushida was hoping to have one day

00:24:32with the walking weapon.

00:24:34Nevertheless, here we are.

00:24:36Right to the midsection.

00:24:38If you're Josh Alexander,

00:24:39I don't agree with this being the way

00:24:41to move forward after emergence.

00:24:43Oh, but how does he get back

00:24:44into the TNA World title picture?

00:24:46By brutalizing everybody in his pathway

00:24:49back to the top.

00:24:50Oh!

00:24:51Oh, that was a pay-lay kick,

00:24:52but caught, caught by Alexander.

00:24:54Incredible counter by Josh Alexander.

00:24:57It's that kind of tenacity,

00:24:59that kind of in-ring acumen,

00:25:01that keeps him at the top of his game.

00:25:03Face first into the middle turnbuckle.

00:25:05Here's the cover, and Kushida only had two.

00:25:08And now leaps for the hoverboard lock.

00:25:12A dangerous hoverboard lock.

00:25:14Bad place to be for Josh Alexander.

00:25:18Kushida got it locked in here.

00:25:21Remember the torn left triceps last year

00:25:24for Josh Alexander.

00:25:26Oh, and a brainbuster by the locking weapon.

00:25:30Nasty by Alexander there.

00:25:33Still feeling the effects of the hoverboard lock,

00:25:35but ready to put this one away.

00:25:37That torn triceps cost Josh Alexander

00:25:40the TNA World Championship,

00:25:42the longest TNA World title reign in history.

00:25:46To this day, it haunts him

00:25:47that he was never beaten

00:25:49for that TNA World Championship.

00:25:57And now gonna send a clear and concise message.

00:26:02Going for the C4 spike there, and now Kushida.

00:26:05Kushida trying to get the win here,

00:26:07and a kickout by Alexander.

00:26:09A little counter, but Alexander back in the driver's seat.

00:26:13Kushida loaded up for the Tanaka Punch,

00:26:16and Alexander hits the German suplex.

00:26:20And again, going for the ankle here.

00:26:24Alexander smashing the ankle of Kushida.

00:26:28Just absolutely obliterating the leg, the knee, the ankle.

00:26:33Kushida's in a bad way.

00:26:35Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:26:36Is Kushida gonna tap to the ankle lock center of the ring?

00:26:40It's looking close.

00:26:41Kushida's gotta be careful.

00:26:43And now Alexander thinking about a new plan of attack.

00:26:48Alexander with a C4 spike.

00:26:53And that's gotta be it.

00:26:56A statement by The Locking Weapon.

00:27:01Here is your winner, Josh Alexander.

00:27:05It has gotta be eating Josh Alexander alive

00:27:08that he could not capture the TNA World title

00:27:11at Immersion Center.

00:27:14We have a TNA World title match set up for Victory Road.

00:27:18Moose gets a contractual rematch

00:27:20for the championship against Nick Nemeth

00:27:22one week from tomorrow live on TNA Plus

00:27:25in San Antonio, Texas at Victory Road.

00:27:30The Walking Weapon here tonight

00:27:32proving he will not go quietly into that good night.

00:27:39You okay?

00:27:41What happened?

00:27:44You got this, bud.

00:27:48We need medical.

00:27:51We need medical.

00:27:53We need medical.

00:27:55I'm stuck.

00:27:58I'm stuck.

00:28:01I can't breathe.

00:28:03I'm stuck.

00:28:06Do you know where you're at?

00:28:08Can you feel your arms?

00:28:10Can you feel your legs, your hands?

00:28:13Is this what we're doing now?

00:28:15Walking weapon, does that mean hurting people?

00:28:17You're feeling brave today.

00:28:18Is that what that is?

00:28:19You're feeling brave right now, right?

00:28:20A little bit of courage, that's nice.

00:28:21Well, guess what?

00:28:22Remember this.

00:28:23I will never forget what you did to me at Slammiversary either.

00:28:28Good.

00:28:28Go on, leave.

00:28:29Good.

00:28:30We need medical.

00:28:31Medical, please.

00:28:33Ow, that hurt.

00:28:35I'm going down.

00:28:37I'm going down.

00:28:38Bye-bye.

00:28:42Joe Henry is clearly not forgotten.

00:28:44Josh Allerton recalling him a shot at the TNA World

00:28:48Title at Slammiversary.

00:28:51The following contest is for one fall,

00:28:54and it is for the TNA World Championship.

00:28:59Introducing first, from Austin, Texas,

00:29:01she is the reigning and defending TNA

00:29:03Knockouts World Champion, the juggernaut, Jordan Ray.

00:29:11And speaking of world titles, it was this past weekend

00:29:14at Emergence that Jordan Grayson Spitfire picked up

00:29:17the win in a six knockouts tag team match-up live on TNA+.

00:29:21And it was announced earlier this week

00:29:23that this coming Tuesday night, for the first time ever,

00:29:26the TNA Knockouts World Championship

00:29:29will be defended on NXT by Jordan Grace

00:29:32in an open challenge.

00:29:33That is if she is successful tonight.

00:29:37Once again, Jordan Grace is set to hold an open challenge

00:29:40for her championship.

00:29:42Can she secure her 15th successful defense

00:29:46of the championship?

00:29:47Who's going to step up to the juggernaut tonight?

00:29:50Ladies and gentlemen, answering her open challenge.

00:30:00Oh, my.

00:30:05We have a guest.

00:30:09Good evening, everyone.

00:30:12It is I, Miss NXT, Ariana Grace.

00:30:19Thank you.

00:30:21Thank you.

00:30:23I know you all wanted to be me answering this open challenge.

00:30:29But I am here because I have some exciting news.

00:30:37You are looking at the new liaison between NXT and TNA.

00:30:44Thank you.

00:30:47It is my duty to make sure everything runs smoothly

00:30:52during this beautiful collab.

00:30:56And so, as liaison, I will now introduce the challenger.

00:31:02She is gold-blooded.

00:31:05She is a karate queen.

00:31:08And honestly, she's the best.

00:31:11Introducing Carmen Petrovic.

00:31:21What a double dose of surprise here in the Impact Zone.

00:31:32Carmen Petrovic joins the likes of Tatum Paxley

00:31:36and Izzy Dane.

00:31:40As NXT stars who have crossed the line here into TNA

00:31:44to challenge Jordan Grace for the Knockouts World Championship.

00:31:51Carmen Petrovic has been a rising star in TNA.

00:31:55And man, what a way to really set things up.

00:31:59If you could bring the TNA Knockouts World title

00:32:02back to NXT with you.

00:32:04But the juggernaut is going to be one hell of a contest.

00:32:08So we have a new liaison between NXT and TNA.

00:32:12How lucky are we?

00:32:13Curious to see how Santino Morello thinks about Ariana Grace's presence.

00:32:17But right now, the presence is all about

00:32:19the Knockouts World Championship.

00:32:22Carmen Petrovic about to challenge Jordan Grace.

00:32:29This will be a very interesting mixing of styles here.

00:32:33Again, we know the speed, the ferocity of the juggernaut.

00:32:36But if you paid attention to NXT and a little bit here,

00:32:38and look at this, a sign of respect from the champ herself.

00:32:44Well, Carmen Petrovic, a martial artist at heart,

00:32:48competed actually for the Canadian national team in martial arts.

00:32:52Going for a sleeper here early on.

00:32:54A series of exploratory strikes there, it seemed.

00:32:58Diverse MMA background for Petrovic.

00:33:00Diverse MMA background for Petrovic.

00:33:06Kick right to the face of Jordan Grace.

00:33:08And looking on, there is Rosemary who appeared on NXT

00:33:12this past Tuesday night, furthering her bond with Wendy Chu, it appears.

00:33:16Rosemary recently challenged Jordan Grace

00:33:19for the Knockouts World title in an open challenge.

00:33:22That back elbow and this spinebuster now stunning Petrovic.

00:33:27Here's the cover, hook to the leg and a kick out at two.

00:33:30This Knockouts World Championship match,

00:33:33this open challenge is just getting started.

00:33:36Jordan Grace defending against NXT's Carmen Petrovic.

00:33:40It continues picture in picture.

00:33:45And another open challenge from Jordan Grace

00:33:48answered by another of NXT's standouts.

00:33:52And Carmen Petrovic just going for a ride.

00:33:55Hook to both legs and a kick out by Petrovic.

00:34:01There is absolutely no denying the pace,

00:34:04the brutal pace that Jordan Grace, quite frankly,

00:34:08has put upon herself by invoking all these open challenges, etc.

00:34:13There is nothing short of impressive.

00:34:16You're a former champion in NXT,

00:34:18so how would you handle something like this,

00:34:20this barrage of open challenges?

00:34:22Step one, I wouldn't do it.

00:34:24That's the key.

00:34:26Just don't do it.

00:34:27To be fair, sometimes it's thrust upon you,

00:34:30but to Jordan Grace's credit,

00:34:32most of these open challenge defenses especially

00:34:34have been her idea, her request to TNA.

00:34:39Look at this.

00:34:41Trying to figure four ahead of Jordan Grace.

00:34:47Here's Petrovic with a tight figure four here.

00:34:53Trying to squeeze the air out of the juggernaut,

00:34:56but look at the strength of Grace right back to her feet.

00:34:59Another human being on her shoulders

00:35:01trying to squeeze the life out of her.

00:35:05Electric chair drop there by Grace.

00:35:16Jordan coming back to life here.

00:35:20Always having to think on her toes,

00:35:22pushing herself.

00:35:23That has been Jordan Grace's M.O. for years now.

00:35:26Pushing herself to physical limits,

00:35:28to mental limits in wrestling,

00:35:30in bodybuilding, in life.

00:35:34Petrovic dumped by Grace with the power slam.

00:35:40I've been dumped by a lot of women in my life,

00:35:42but never quite like that.

00:35:45Nasty kick to the back of the head of the juggernaut.

00:35:48Here's the cover and a kick out by Jordan Grace.

00:35:52Great agility and athleticism there by Petrovic

00:35:55to spin the leg all the way back around.

00:35:58Basically, the heel of the boot connected,

00:36:00it looked like, with the face of Grace.

00:36:02I feel like that's going to have to be her method of operation here,

00:36:06to take down the juggernaut.

00:36:08Those well-placed strikes hit up right side of the chin.

00:36:11Try to really knock the juggernaut loopy,

00:36:13because you're not going to go strength for strength.

00:36:15You're not going to go power for power.

00:36:19World's strongest slam.

00:36:22Vader bomb attempt.

00:36:24Petrovic able to avoid it.

00:36:27Oh, and now the petrifier by Carmen Petrovic.

00:36:32Look out! Face first!

00:36:34Is this enough to capture the Knockouts World Title?

00:36:38And a kick out by Grace.

00:36:40That was incredibly close,

00:36:42as Petrovic tries for the Knockouts World Title.

00:36:47What an effort tonight for the Knockouts World Championship.

00:36:51Jordan Grace putting out yet another open challenge

00:36:54in defense of her title.

00:36:55It's been answered by NXT's Carmen Petrovic.

00:36:59And now the juggernaut getting back up to her feet.

00:37:04Oh, and once again, looking on from high above here,

00:37:07inside Old Forrester's Paris Town Hall in Louisville,

00:37:10there is Rosemary watching this Knockouts World Title match.

00:37:14I shudder every time we see Rosemary just lurking

00:37:18from the rafters there.

00:37:20Powerbomb by Grace with authority.

00:37:22Nearly drove Petrovic through the damn ring.

00:37:28The late, great Sid Vicious would be proud of that powerbomb.

00:37:32Oh my God.

00:37:35That is Grace in her wheelhouse.

00:37:39Now able to take control of this matchup once again.

00:37:43Hit hard, hit fast.

00:37:50236 days for Jordan Grace in this,

00:37:54her third Knockouts World title reign.

00:37:58Second only to the TNA Hall of Famer Gail Kim

00:38:01in total days as a Knockouts World Champion in this company.

00:38:07Now Petrovic with these educated feet going to work now.

00:38:11Spinning heel kick.

00:38:12There's the cover kick out by Grace.

00:38:14The way she just manipulated Jordan Grace

00:38:16out of the corner with just her legs.

00:38:19That's the kind of discipline that not every wrestler has.

00:38:24We've talked about it for a while.

00:38:25The pace that the juggernaut has been attempting to maintain

00:38:28with these open challenges.

00:38:29When is it going to catch up to her?

00:38:31I was just about to ask that question out loud myself.

00:38:34I will never question, to her face,

00:38:37the work ethic, the intensity of Jordan Grace.

00:38:40But at the end of the day, she's still flesh and blood.

00:38:43She's only human.

00:38:44Something at some point in her life

00:38:46will have to give, but I don't see it yet.

00:38:48Hold on, Petrovic missed with the kick

00:38:51and now going for the juggernaut driver middle of the ring.

00:38:54But Petrovic tucked her leg behind Grace's and blocked it.

00:38:58Nice counter.

00:38:59Petrovic obviously did her homework.

00:39:01Something Jordan Grace not quite able to do,

00:39:03given it was an open challenge.

00:39:05Another series of strikes by Petrovic.

00:39:07Now charges it.

00:39:08Grease and a spinning back fist.

00:39:11And that rocked Carmen Petrovic.

00:39:15Up onto the shoulders there for just a minute.

00:39:17Oh, and this one was blocked by Grace with a hammer fist.

00:39:22That sent Petrovic all the way to the match.

00:39:24And now, Grace putting her challenger,

00:39:31up into the high rent district here.

00:39:35Jordan Grace going to the second rope here

00:39:37in Louisville, Kentucky, inside the impact zone

00:39:40in defense of her Knockouts World Championship.

00:39:42Now Petrovic has a little bit of space here

00:39:47against the champion.

00:39:48Cross body.

00:39:49Down goes the champ.

00:39:50Now looking to, oh, looking to line up Jordan Grace.

00:39:53But no!

00:39:54Oh!

00:39:55Oh!

00:39:56Oh!

00:39:57Oh!

00:39:58Oh!

00:39:59Oh!

00:40:00Oh!

00:40:01Oh!

00:40:02Oh!

00:40:03Oh!

00:40:05Oh!

00:40:06Oh, come on!

00:40:07The Juggernaut Driver!

00:40:09Another one falls to the Juggernaut!

00:40:12Here's your winner and still DNA Knockouts World Champion,

00:40:17Jordan Grace!

00:40:20The streak continues.

00:40:23The pace does not relent for the Juggernaut.

00:40:29Jordan Grace, another successful defense here

00:40:34In an open challenge, the Knockouts World Champion

00:40:38has proved to be unstoppable.

00:40:42Time and time again, Tom.

00:40:45And what the hell?

00:41:04You're a rascal!

00:41:06You're a rascal!

00:41:08You're a rascal!

00:41:10You're a rascal!

00:41:12You're a rascal!

00:41:14You're a rascal!

00:41:16You're a rascal!

00:41:18You're a rascal!

00:41:20You're a rascal!

00:41:22Yeah!

00:41:23Hello, world.

00:41:24Let's reminisce a little bit, shall we?

00:41:26Slammiversary was a beautiful night

00:41:28in this company's history.

00:41:30Why was that?

00:41:31Oh, because Slammiversary was the night

00:41:33that the system failed.

00:41:35The system lost all the championships.

00:41:38Most importantly,

00:41:39the World Tag Team Championships

00:41:41that came home where they belong,

00:41:43with the ABC.

00:41:45And it seems like Victory Road,

00:41:46you all are looking to recapture

00:41:48the glory of the rematch.

00:41:50Hold up.

00:41:51Hold up.

00:41:52Wait a minute.

00:41:54See, y'all just like these corrupt TNA officials.

00:41:57Corrupt?

00:41:58See, y'all focused on the wrong thing.

00:42:00You 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

00:42:06when first and foremost,

00:42:07you need to be focused on first class.

00:42:11I 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, we didn't want to take care of that.

00:42:17It was last week's news.

00:42:19It's funny y'all talking about

00:42:20what happened a week ago,

00:42:21but you seem to have forgotten.

00:42:22I put you in the sky,

00:42:24then drove you through the earth,

00:42:25and I beat ABC easy as

00:42:27one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

00:42:31That might be the case.

00:42:32That might be the case if you were the legal man.

00:42:34And if you would have beaten us,

00:42:36like you say you claim you did,

00:42:37you would have these.

00:42:38But you don't because

00:42:40you don't know the rules of tag team.

00:42:42Obviously, 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.

00:42:50One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

00:42:52All the time.

00:42:53And the bell actually rang.

00:42:55And we're still tag team champions.

00:42:56But if you're confused about it,

00:42:57if you want to run it back,

00:42:59you seem a little confused.

00:43:00You want to do something next week?

00:43:01No, I'm not busy next week.

00:43:02I ain't doing nothing next week.

00:43:03Hey, AT&T ain't back without

00:43:04the world tag team champions.

00:43:05So how about we just run it back?

00:43:07We could do it again.

00:43:08No, part of me.

00:43:09Next week.

00:43:10Part of me?

00:43:11Next week?

00:43:12Say 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, no 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.

00:43:30AT&T, yo!

00:43:31Please, let's talk to Santino.

00:43:33And refresh the rules of tag team wrestling.

00:43:35Me personally?

00:43:36Please do.

00:43:37We can't let that slide.

00:43:38No, I 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?

00:43:42I'm unbelievable.

00:43:43Well, speaking of tag team matches,

00:43:45everything's on the line for JDC as he and Moose

00:43:48team up against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana.

00:43:50Still to come, Eric Young looks to rebound

00:43:52from Emergence against Jake Something.

00:43:54But coming up next, we'll hear from the brand new

00:43:57X Division champion, Zachary Wentz.

00:44:00Impact.

00:44:31Now we are back here on TNA Impact.

00:44:34What a week it has been for Zachary Wentz.

00:44:45Please welcome the new TNA X Division champion, Zachary

00:44:52Wentz.

00:44:52Zachary Wentz.

00:44:58At Emergence, Wentz captured the X Division title

00:45:01in Ultimate X.

00:45:02On Sunday at NXT No Mercy, he defeated his former best

00:45:06friend, Wes Lee.

00:45:08This past Tuesday night, Dre Miguel and Zachary Wentz

00:45:12won an NXT Tag Team title shot, which they'll get this

00:45:15coming Tuesday night on NXT against Axiom and Nathan

00:45:19Frazier.

00:45:20Zachary Wentz has claimed his redemption.

00:45:24Oh, man.

00:45:27You guys do not know how much this means to me.

00:45:33You deserve it.

00:45:35You deserve it.

00:45:38You deserve it.

00:45:40Thank you.

00:45:41Thank you.

00:45:42You deserve it.

00:45:43You know, two years ago, I was at one of the lowest

00:45:46points of my life.

00:45:49I had self-doubts that I'd ever come back to professional

00:45:53wrestling.

00:45:54But because of the fans, because of the love and the

00:45:57support that you showed me, I was able to pick myself up.

00:46:01I worked my ass off.

00:46:02I came back to TNA.

00:46:04And now I am at the highest of the highs because I am

00:46:08your new X Division champion.

00:46:20Oh, that right there is the former X Division champion,

00:46:26Speedball Mike Bailey.

00:46:29Speedball Mike Bailey, who played it fast and loose with

00:46:33the X Division championship.

00:46:34And I think that would be an understatement ever since he

00:46:37captured it at Slammiversary in Montreal back in July.

00:46:41He put it all on the line in Ultimate X.

00:46:46Zach.

00:46:48I just wanted to say congratulations.

00:46:54This championship meant that I was the best of the best.

00:47:02And now that's you.

00:47:05And you're going to have to continue to prove that because

00:47:09I'm enacting my rematch clause.

00:47:12And I will see you at Victory Row.

00:47:17Short, sweet, boom.

00:47:19Wait, wait, wait.

00:47:20Oh, wow.

00:47:21Wow.

00:47:22Wow.

00:47:24The only thing that makes us more sick than this love fest

00:47:28going on in the ring is being here in the state of Kentucky.

00:47:32Oh!

00:47:33Oh!

00:47:34Oh!

00:47:35Oh!

00:47:36Oh!

00:47:37Oh!

00:47:38Oh!

00:47:39Oh!

00:47:40Oh!

00:47:41And all of you Louisville losers know that the real star of

00:47:44Ultimate X was Jason Hodge.

00:47:48In fact, I think you all know that we were robbed of our

00:47:53X-Division championship.

00:47:57But this is the good part.

00:47:59And you're going to want to pay attention, both of you.

00:48:01Look at me when I'm talking to you.

00:48:03Trust me, you're going to want to hear this.

00:48:05Oh!

00:48:06Oh, and Jason Hodge attacking Bayley and Winks from behind.

00:48:10Oh!

00:48:11Oh, and Jason Hodge attacking Bayley and Winks from behind.

00:48:15The distraction by Skyler.

00:48:18I love it when a plan comes together.

00:48:20Oh, now look at this.

00:48:21Our referee Paige Principale is running down to the ring.

00:48:27Ladies and gentlemen, per Santino Morella,

00:48:30Zachary Wentz and Mike Bayley versus the Good Hands

00:48:33has been made official.

00:48:36I got to give it to Santino.

00:48:37He's on the button tonight.

00:48:39He's on a roll.

00:48:40Another impromptu matchup.

00:48:41Tensions are running high following

00:48:43emergencies this past weekend right here in Louisville.

00:48:47Look at this.

00:48:48Future competitors teaming tonight,

00:48:51taking out the Good Hands.

00:48:57Bayley and Wentz.

00:48:59Plenty of respect for each other as competitors.

00:49:01Going to have to put that aside here in this tag team matchup.

00:49:05Bayley has enacted his rematch clause for victory row.

00:49:09One week away from tomorrow.

00:49:11Live on TNA Plus in San Antonio, Texas.

00:49:18Right now, getting a little bit of teamwork

00:49:21to try to make the dream work ahead of that X Division title match.

00:49:25Jason Hodge impressed a lot of people in Ultimate X, too.

00:49:28He certainly did.

00:49:29It can be a standout in the X Division.

00:49:31There's John Skyler, who took part in the Ultimate X qualifying matchups

00:49:35that we saw in the lead up to emergencies.

00:49:37As well as the training of Jason Hodge for Ultimate X.

00:49:41Hashtag grip strength.

00:49:43How about John Skyler saying our X Division championship?

00:49:47They're a team.

00:49:48He feels like he's part of the family.

00:49:49And look, Skyler, Hodge, I feel like they would like Kentucky a lot more.

00:49:53I'll take him down to Pursuit Spirits.

00:49:55Introduce him to Kenny and Ryan.

00:49:57We'll be all good.

00:49:58And they'll get a much better idea.

00:50:00In comes Jason Hodge, who won TNA back in 2022.

00:50:06Pressing the shoulders down and a kick out.

00:50:08Talked to many of TNA officials.

00:50:10He has certainly put in his dues.

00:50:12There's all the potential in the world to be a standout in the X Division.

00:50:15He's just got a rotten attitude, unfortunately.

00:50:18So does Skyler.

00:50:19Rotten attitude.

00:50:20I mean, this guy shows up, shows out every time he's in the ring.

00:50:23I don't know what's rotten about that.

00:50:25Oh.

00:50:26Ooh.

00:50:28Now Bailey focusing on Hodge.

00:50:31Missile 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 Bailey and his corner.

00:50:51Mike Bailey 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.

00:51:03Shot there by Hodge on the outside as Skyler attempted to draw the attention

00:51:07of 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.

00:51:22And he tried to pull one over on Bailey.

00:51:25Bailey had it scouted.

00:51:27And the tag man in comes Wentz.

00:51:31And Wentz like a house of fire lighting this match up,

00:51:35the new X Division champion.

00:51:39Kick right to the side of the head.

00:51:46Oh, knee right to the chin.

00:51:49Wentz is rolling.

00:51:51Oh, the cover.

00:51:52Right to the chin.

00:51:54Wentz is rolling.

00:51:56All the confidence in the world following 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, hanging 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 Bailey wipes out Hodge.

00:52:32Bailey trying to call out Schuyler here.

00:52:37Oh, now Wentz.

00:52:38Shoulders down and a kick out by Schuyler.

00:52:41Oh, Schuyler trying to hold on to the ropes.

00:52:43Bailey 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.

00:52:50Oh, look out.

00:52:52UFO cutter.

00:52:57Bailey and Wentz win.

00:53:02Here are your winners, Mike Bailey and the TNA X Division Champion Zachary Wentz.

00:53:08Teammates tonight from one week away from tomorrow in San Antonio, Texas, live on TNA+.

00:53:15They will be opponents for the X Division Championship at Victory Road.

00:53:22And there you see it, Bailey grabbing that championship belt.

00:53:27He hands it to Wentz tonight.

00:53:29But what will go down at Victory Road one-on-one for that title?

00:53:34For over 20 years, we've said it's not about weight limits.

00:53:37It's about no limits.

00:53:39Bailey and Wentz for the X Division Championship should be limitless at Victory Road.

00:53:49No, no, no. You 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.

00:53:59No.

00:54:00I'll be right back.

00:54:02Some trouble in paradise?

00:54:04I've been told Step to Lander has requested time in the impact zone.

00:54:08Next.

00:54:11This past Tuesday, Rosemary returned to NXT at the side of Wendy Chu.

00:54:16Tatum, Paxley awaited.

00:54:18It was Rosemary one-on-one with Paxley as Chu looked on.

00:54:21In the end, Paxley was able to secure the victory.

00:54:24But it didn't end there.

00:54:25Wendy Chu and Rosemary attacking Tatum Paxley.

00:54:29It took the effort of Lira Valkyria to one-off Rosemary and Wendy Chu.

00:54:33And after what we saw Tuesday, does this have any bearing on what happened to Jordan Grace earlier tonight?

00:54:41Did you see, children, how much fun an assassin can have

00:54:47when the leash is taken off?

00:54:54Well, that's all well and good.

00:54:57I'm getting out of it.

00:55:01I'm sorry.

00:55:02Besides, the Hive return.

00:55:05We can hear them again.

00:55:09Do we trust her?

00:55:11Do we trust her?

00:55:14Can we trust her?

00:55:18No.

00:55:20What does she want with us?

00:55:22What does she want with us?

00:55:25She just wants to play.

00:55:29No!

00:55:33No, but she promised.

00:55:35She promised.

00:55:36She made us promises.

00:55:38She wants to help.

00:55:39She's going to help.

00:55:42No, we don't care!

00:55:47Relax.

00:56:03We're not entirely sure what in the world is going on with Rosemary,

00:56:06and at the same time, a lot has been happening with Step Delander, PCO, and Matt Cardona.

00:56:12Now, this past weekend, sold out here at Louisville at Immersion,

00:56:15PCO retained both his titles against Cardona's hand-picked monster, Shira.

00:56:22But honestly, the situation between PCO, Step Delander, and Cardona is extremely complicated.

00:56:34Now, we all know that Matt Cardona has been causing me so many issues recently.

00:56:41I mean, he ruined my wedding.

00:56:44He ruined my honeymoon.

00:56:48He's been causing issues with me and my husband, PCO.

00:56:53Matt, we need to talk.

00:56:55Get out here.

00:57:02Straight to the point, Step Delander calling out Matt Cardona to get this settled right here, right now.

00:57:10Matt Cardona, who multiple times has referred to Step Delander as his property.

00:57:19And look, I don't like that language any more than the next person,

00:57:22but there is no doubt about where Matt Cardona is coming from.

00:57:26Somebody who brought Step Delander onto the global scene in professional wrestling,

00:57:30and is just really off-put by what she's been up to with PCO.

00:57:34It's on the countdown to emergence.

00:57:35Cardona put yet another challenge, another monster in the way of PCO.

00:57:55Matt, what's going on?

00:57:58We're meant to be best friends.

00:58:02We're tag partners.

00:58:04We've traveled the world together.

00:58:06We've done so much together.

00:58:08Why are you acting like this?

00:58:11Why are you doing this to me?

00:58:15I hear you, Step. I hear you loud and clear.

00:58:19I know I've been MIA.

00:58:21I know I haven't been responding to your texts, your calls.

00:58:25I want to do this face-to-face.

00:58:27I owe you an apology.

00:58:31No, seriously.

00:58:33From the bottom of my heart, Step.

00:58:37I'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.

00:58:53I'm sorry I let you embarrass yourself in front of the entire world.

00:58:57I'm sorry I let you embarrass me.

00:59:02You don't speak to me like that.

00:59:04You don't disrespect me.

00:59:06You don't disrespect my husband.

00:59:09And you sure as hell don't own me.

00:59:14Well, that's where you're wrong, Stephanie.

00:59:22How could you forget signing this contract?

00:59:27I signed it, too.

00:59:29It's a day I'll never forget.

00:59:31March 13, 2023.

00:59:34The day I found you in Australia.

00:59:38The day I plucked you from obscurity.

00:59:42The day I promised I would change your life and career.

00:59:46And that's exactly what I've done.

00:59:50Who brought you to the United States?

00:59:53It was me.

00:59:55Who got you booked on the hottest independent wrestling shows around the world?

01:00:00Me!

01:00:02Who paid for your flights?

01:00:04Your hotel?

01:00:05Your meals?

01:00:06Me!

01:00:07Who got you your first wrestling figure?

01:00:09Me!

01:00:10Who got you in the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated?

01:00:12Me!

01:00:13Who got you in your DNA?

01:00:15Me!

01:00:17I've held up my end of the contract.

01:00:20And now it's your turn.

01:00:22You're mine.

01:00:23You're mine.

01:00:25You're my property.

01:00:26I own you!

01:00:36Matt, you're right.

01:00:39You did help me a lot. You 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.

01:00:53I got myself into TNA.

01:00:55Not you.

01:00:57I know that I'm a superstar with or without you.

01:01:02Yeah.

01:01:04And this contract, this means nothing to me.

01:01:08Hold on. Hold on.

01:01:10You think just crumpling that paper contract and throw it on the ground means anything?

01:01:16My lawyers have a copy of that contract.

01:01:18Your lawyers that I paid for have a copy of that contract.

01:01:22TNA has a copy of that contract.

01:01:25You are mine.

01:01:27You are my property.

01:01:29You will do whatever I say.

01:01:31If I say jump, you ask how high.

01:01:34If I say bark like a dog, you bark like a damn dog.

01:01:37If I say leave PCO, you leave PCO.

01:01:40What? Are you crying?

01:01:42Are you crying?

01:01:44Why are you crying?

01:01:46If I hurt your feelings, you are nothing without me.

01:01:52PCO is here.

01:01:57Cardona may have taken one step, maybe ten, over that line.

01:02:03The French-Canadian Frankenstein here to defend his wife.

01:02:10Matt Cardona completely crossed the line.

01:02:14Oh, now putting stuff to Lander.

01:02:17Coward.

01:02:27I owe you.

01:02:29I owe you, Steph.

01:02:31You are my property.

01:02:33You are mine.

01:02:35You are mine till I say so.

01:02:38Right now, we turn our attention to what's still to come.

01:02:42You know, when the past reminds you of how good you were,

01:02:45the future awaits our fate.

01:02:48Next week, man, we gotta win.

01:02:51And I'm gonna win.

01:02:53I'm gonna win.

01:02:55I'm gonna win.

01:02:57I'm gonna win.

01:02:59I'm gonna win.

01:03:01I'm gonna win.

01:03:03I'm gonna win.

01:03:05I'm gonna win.

01:03:07I'm gonna win.

01:03:09I'm gonna win.

01:03:11We do have to win.

01:03:12I mean, we are former WWF, WWE, WCW,

01:03:17Ring of Honor, and TNA World Tag Team Champions.

01:03:21We are two-time TNA World Tag Team Champions.

01:03:23And when we face you next week, System,

01:03:26Ryan Myers and Eddie Edwards,

01:03:28we are looking to make a statement

01:03:30by deleting you and whipping your ass.

01:03:33Because when we beat you, that means

01:03:35if you win the championships at Victory Road from ABC,

01:03:38then we should get a shot.

01:03:40And if ABC retains their titles,

01:03:42then 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,

01:03:47like, I am sick of the past tense.

01:03:49People tell us all the time, like,

01:03:50oh, my God, you guys were my childhood.

01:03:52You were my favorites.

01:03:53You guys were great.

01:03:54You were great.

01:03:55It is not you were great.

01:03:58It is we are great.

01:04:01And by winning the TNA World Tag Team titles,

01:04:04we are going to cement the greatness of the Hardys,

01:04:07the damn GOATS, the greatest of all time!

01:04:16Matt and Jeff Hardy will be at Victory Road

01:04:20one week away from tomorrow,

01:04:22live on TNA Plus in San Antonio, Texas.

01:04:28You've been waiting for a long time.

01:04:38The following contest is a one-off.

01:04:42Introducing first, from Franklin, Tennessee,

01:04:45he is the world-class maniac, Eric Young!

01:04:50This past weekend at Emergence,

01:04:52sold out right here in Louisville,

01:04:54which you can relive any time on demand on TNA Plus.

01:04:57Eric Young had a hell of a battle against Steve Macklin.

01:05:01Eric Young hit the Piledriver on Macklin,

01:05:04but the former TNA World Champion, Macklin,

01:05:06endured and somehow got the win against Young.

01:05:10Earlier on tonight, EY said he has a lot of respect for Macklin

01:05:13and will stand by his side any time he needs an ally.

01:05:24And that statement alone is no small feat.

01:05:30We all know Steve Macklin, in his time here at TNA,

01:05:33has not had a lot of people willing to call him ally.

01:05:37That endorsement, that statement from a TNA original,

01:05:41why Young is a big deal.

01:05:45Speaking of big...

01:05:51His opponent, he is Eric Young!

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 wouldn'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,

01:06:15who defeated Jake and Cody Diener after the fact.

01:06:18First 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 want the white knight kind of behavior,

01:06:42but look, that had nothing to do with 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. He'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.

01:07:00Been a hot and cold relationship between himself and his cousin,

01:07:02Cody Diener, when they have tagged together.

01:07:05It's been a frustrating past year here in TNA for Jake Something.

01:07:09Burst on the scene returning to this company.

01:07:12A slammiversary last summer in Ultimate X.

01:07:15Challenge for the Exhibition Championship at Rebellion.

01:07:19And 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, hook to the leg and a kick out by EY.

01:07:27And try to get Jake Something 101.

01:07:29He'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 for a long time

01:07:41is somebody who's right on the precipice of being a guy on top here in TNA.

01:07:47He thought coming back.

01:07:48Cover, hook to the leg.

01:07:50Young able to kick out.

01:07:52Coming back this past year, he's in the best shape of his life.

01:07:54The best mindset that 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.

01:08:11A powerbomb from Jake Something.

01:08:14And a kick out by Young.

01:08:16And already early in this matchup,

01:08:18the frustration that he can't put away Eric Young already.

01:08:22It's starting to boil over for Jake Something.

01:08:27There's no shame in having to work to put away a two-time TNA World Champion.

01:08:34Steve Macklin, we thought, had sustained a pretty serious injury

01:08:37in the course of emergence.

01:08:39And had to gut it out to put away Eric Young.

01:08:41And earned his respect in the process.

01:08:44Cover.

01:08:45That straight jab to the face and a kick out.

01:08:51And the frustration, man.

01:08:52Jake's incensed tonight.

01:08:53Look, and 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.

01:09:07That often leads to mistakes.

01:09:10I want the success for Jake Something if he can keep it together here.

01:09:14Now Young trying to quicken the pace here.

01:09:18And a big clothesline to Jake Something.

01:09:23And a big discus lariat and Jake Something goes down.

01:09:26And Eric Young has found an opening somehow.

01:09:30If there's anybody in this company who knows about going through ups and downs

01:09:34to get to the world title, to get to the top of the mountain, it is Eric Young.

01:09:39100%.

01:09:41Hammer fist to the spine, however.

01:09:43Young went to try and get Jake Something up for the Death Valley Driver.

01:09:48The big 265-pound powerhouse.

01:09:51There we go.

01:09:52Wait a minute.

01:09:53Now up onto the shoulders of Young and the DVD.

01:09:57Is it enough to get the win?

01:09:59Jake Something gets the right shoulder up in time.

01:10:02We know how beastly strong Jake Something is, but how about the power of EY?

01:10:10And Young calling for the elbow drop.

01:10:12Wait, wait, wait.

01:10:13And Jake Something back up to his feet.

01:10:15Young able to roll through.

01:10:17Now into the void.

01:10:19Oh, now Young.

01:10:21Piledriver by Young.

01:10:24Cover.

01:10:27Eric 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.

01:10:40Meanwhile, Jake Something, one more time seemingly,

01:10:44has to go back to that drawing board.

01:10:49A great way for Eric Young to rebound after Emergence.

01:10:55I have to say, Jake Something, he put it all out there.

01:10:58This was a full-blown assault on Eric Young throughout this matchup.

01:11:03It's nothing to be ashamed of, but all his effort forward.

01:11:07And look, he does that every match.

01:11:09Eric Young even here once again offering the handshake.

01:11:12It's a bold move from EY there.

01:11:26Wait a second.

01:11:28Oh, and Jake Something decks Young from behind.

01:11:33Maybe something has had enough here.

01:11:37Into the void.

01:11:42Jake Something!

01:11:44Jake Something!

01:11:46Jake Something!

01:11:48Jake Something!

01:11:50Jake Something!

01:11:52Jake Something!

01:11:54Jake Something!

01:11:56Jake Something!

01:11:58What's his name?

01:12:01Because he sure as hell just did something.

01:12:05You are the new Jake Something!

01:12:08Oh, wait a minute.

01:12:09Wait a minute.

01:12:10There's Steve Maglun.

01:12:11Steve Maglun rushing to the ring to protect Eric Young.

01:12:17Eric Young said earlier on tonight that any time Maglun needs an ally,

01:12:21he'd have his back.

01:12:23And Maglun stepping up for Young in the first place.

01:12:36Well, right now, I want to turn our attention to what happened this past weekend at NXT.

01:12:40No mercy.

01:12:41Joe Hendry challenged Ethan Page for the NXT Championship and nearly won it.

01:12:46Had it not been for a distraction of the special guest referee,

01:12:49Trick Williams, and Ethan Page hitting the low blow,

01:12:52Joe Hendry could have walked out with the NXT Championship.

01:12:55Page retained, but what an effort by Hendry.

01:13:05Excuse me, Joe Hendry.

01:13:07I just wanted to get a word.

01:13:08What happened at Emergence and what happened at NXT?

01:13:12Well, Gia, this is becoming an all too common occurrence.

01:13:16Joe Hendry's about to claim the prize and taken away from him unfairly in an instant.

01:13:22And 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 to 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, Heather Reckless.

01:14:04And we can tell you that next week, Heather Reckless will have her first match

01:14:08as an official member of the TNA roster against Giselle Shaw right here on Impact.

01:14:17Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest this time.

01:14:19She is the newest knockout to be joining TNA Wrestling, Heather Reckless.

01:14:25Thank 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, listen.

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. So nice to see you.

01:14:47Gia, why are you wasting your time on nobodies?

01:14:50Spend time with someone on my level.

01:14:52Ash, this is scheduled time.

01:14:54Scheduled time?

01:14:55We can talk later.

01:14:56Listen, you don't know what you're doing. Get the hell out of here. Hit the bricks.

01:14:58Listen, Heather, welcome to the show.

01:15:00But if you want to make it somewhere in this business, you gotta be like Miss Ash by elegance.

01:15:04Her beauty, her magnificence. Look at that hair.

01:15:06You can learn a thing or two if you keep your eye and you watch.

01:15:09She's absolutely stunning.

01:15:11Yes, don't listen to any of the trash around this division.

01:15:16Wow, if it isn't Dumber and Dumbest.

01:15:19Listen to me, you filth.

01:15:21And if it isn't trash.

01:15:23You know what? You 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, what kind of progress have you made in your entire career?

01:15:42You know what, Ash? I'm going to warn you.

01:15:45One more disrespectful word out of your mouth and you're probably going to lose a tooth.

01:15:50I'd like to see you try, nobody.

01:15:55Yeah.

01:15:56Oh my God!

01:15:58No, relax!

01:15:59My face!

01:16:00Let's get the hell out of here!

01:16:01That was so disrespectful!

01:16:02Oh my God!

01:16:03What trash!

01:16:04Oh, fuck!

01:16:24Faces off against Hammerstone one-on-one.

01:16:27Plus, Matt and Jeff Hardy look for revenge on the system as they face off against Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards.

01:16:34It's a can't-miss edition of TNA Impact.

01:16:37Next Thursday at 8 Eastern on AXS TV.

01:16:40But first, tomorrow night on Explosion.

01:16:42Frankie Kazarian battles Sami Callihan.

01:16:45Exclusively on TNA+.

01:16:50TNA! TNA! TNA!

01:16:52Tonight here on TNA Impact, we are set for our main event.

01:16:58Trust the system.

01:17:08The following is a tag team match.

01:17:11Introducing first, being accompanied by Alicia Edwards.

01:17:14The team of JDC.

01:17:16And move!

01:17:18The system reboot could be realized one week from tomorrow in San Antonio, Texas.

01:17:23Live on TNA+.

01:17:25At Victory Road.

01:17:26The Militia are scheduled to defend the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles against Spitfire.

01:17:32If Spitfire loses, they must disband Alicia Edwards.

01:17:35The medical status is still uncertain for Victory Road.

01:17:38Meanwhile, 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 Nimmin 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.

01:18:15And Joe Hendry appears to be all business tonight.

01:18:29Coming off of a disappointing weekend at Emergence.

01:18:32And of course, NXT no mercy.

01:18:34He bumped into Josh Alexander, however, earlier on tonight.

01:18:38And told The Walking Weapon, quote, I will never forget what you did to me.

01:18:44At Slammiversary, Alexander blow blowing Hendry and costing him, perhaps, the TNA World Title.

01:18:52Hang on a second.

01:18:53Hang on a second.

01:18:54Let's bring that music down.

01:18:57Because, you know, I 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.

01:19:08I get inside.

01:19:09I spin around.

01:19:11And then you guys attack me, right?

01:19:14That's how it goes.

01:19:16Well, tonight, I think maybe it's you guys that should be spinning around.

01:19:28What the hell is he talking about?

01:19:32Oh, wait.

01:19:33What the hell is this?

01:19:34Oh, look.

01:19:35There's Hendry's tag team partner, Mike Santana.

01:19:38Turnabout is fair play.

01:19:40Oh, real sportsman like.

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.

01:20:06Look, the system.

01:20:08Wait a second.

01:20:10Back of your screen.

01:20:12Josh Alexander is in the impact zone once again tonight.

01:20:16Earlier on this evening, he destroyed the matchup between Kushida and Laredo.

01:20:20Ken was put into an impromptu matchup against Kushida.

01:20:24Came out with the victory.

01:20:26And as I mentioned, bumped into Joe Hendry, making his way to ringside here.

01:20:31And Josh Alexander, I think, is going to join us on commentary.

01:20:36I just wanted a front row seat, you know, see a real wrestler like Joe Hendry gets it done.

01:20:41This match is about to begin.

01:20:43This, your main event, will get underway here on TNA Impact.

01:20:47Picture in picture.

01:20:49We are team!

01:20:51We are team!

01:20:53We are team!

01:20:55We are team!

01:20:57We are team!

01:21:00This tag team main event, with 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.

01:21:19Oh, 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.

01:21:38Josh, 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?

01:21:55He was willing to put in all the work.

01:21:57And now you're attacking people in the middle of their matches.

01:22:00I get that you're disappointed you didn't win the TNA world title in your match at Emergence.

01:22:05But this is what you're going to do now?

01:22:07You want to point the finger of blame on why I'm doing the things the way I'm doing them?

01:22:11Look no further than that man right there.

01:22:13These people in this audience, Tom, they turn their back on me.

01:22:17I did this the right way.

01:22:18I came up 19 years wrestling around the world against the very best

01:22:23to become the best.

01:22:25And Joe Hendry, what he skips the line because he has a viral video.

01:22:28All of a sudden these fans decide to clamor to him.

01:22:32It's not my fault.

01:22:33Nothing but truth.

01:22:34Nothing but facts out there.

01:22:36No culpability, Josh.

01:22:37Let's be honest.

01:22:38That's a big word, Tom.

01:22:39And I'm going to take it as disrespect.

01:22:41Matt, you can send me the next question.

01:22:45Josh, I'll ask you then.

01:22:48When you get your, when.

01:22:49I'm going to say when you get your hands.

01:22:51Get a chance to get your hands.

01:22:52I'm Joe Hendry.

01:22:53What's the first order of business?

01:22:55Let's talk about that.

01:22:56Well, first and last order of business is exposing him for the fraud that he

01:23:00hits.

01:23:01And it's not his fault.

01:23:02Like I said, viral sensation.

01:23:04All the people are behind him, but he's not prepared to be in the ring with

01:23:08the best.

01:23:09Let alone people like Bruce JDC.

01:23:13We talk about it all the time in wrestling, right?

01:23:15It's all well and good.

01:23:16But at some point, the bell's got to ring to your point.

01:23:20You couldn't be more right, Matt.

01:23:23Spine first into the turnbuckle.

01:23:25Go JDC.

01:23:26Santana makes a tag.

01:23:28In comes Joe Hendry.

01:23:30The opportunities that Joe Hendry has earned being in the same main event of

01:23:34Slammiversary as yourself.

01:23:36And you low blowed him.

01:23:38Here's the cover and a kick out.

01:23:41When you're in that position, Tom, you got to be ready for anything.

01:23:44I was in that position for a very long time.

01:23:47You have to be ready for anything.

01:23:49And Joe Hendry wasn't.

01:23:50It just exposed him for who he is.

01:23:52And Joe Hendry this past weekend got a chance at the NXT Championship against

01:23:56his 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 up against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana.

01:24:10The stakes specifically for JDC.

01:24:13If he wins and helps the System win, he 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 attempting to rebound off of

01:24:25Emergence.

01:24:26And we're joined on commentary by Josh Alexander, who has been blowing up the

01:24:32Impact Zone throughout the evening.

01:24:34You don't feel like referring to me as the standard of TNA anymore?

01:24:38Oh, yeah.

01:24:39That 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 by the face of the franchise.

01:24:48I can't call you the Iron Man anymore, can I?

01:24:51Wow.

01:24:52Oh, 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, you better watch what you say.

01:24:59Hey, Tom, you saw how Josh Alexander handled 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.

01:25:16Edwards, who is not medically cleared to compete.

01:25:19I don't even know why she's out here at ringside running a distraction there

01:25:23preventing Hendry from going after the system.

01:25:26I should have said it.

01:25:27It should have been Hendry who kept his eyes open.

01:25:29My mistake.

01:25:30Like I said, you have to have eyes in the back of your head when you got

01:25:33people gunning for you and 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, the man at the top of the mountain is still Nick Nemeth,

01:25:40the TNA World Champion.

01:25:42Did it bother you that immediately after Emergence went off the air that he

01:25:46accepted the contractual rematch challenge by Moose for their world title match?

01:25:50We're going to see it, Victory Road.

01:25:52Champions got to do what they got to do after being in the ring with Nick Nemeth.

01:25:55You know, he did come out on top of the Ironman match.

01:25:57I got to give him his due.

01:25:59But on any given night, it can go any way.

01:26:01Everybody's got a puncher's chance.

01:26:03And, you know, I just started business off the right way today.

01:26:06That's why I came out and made a statement with Kushida, with Laredo.

01:26:10You started off business the right way.

01:26:12Okay. That's rich, Josh. That's really rich.

01:26:15Come on, Joe. Believe. Believe in yourself.

01:26:18Joe, believe. That's all you need to do, right?

01:26:21That's all it takes. You got to believe.

01:26:26What's the over-under on how long Joe Hendry lasts in an Ironman match?

01:26:29How about that?

01:26:31Oh, he'll last the full 60. I'm just saying the count's going to be off

01:26:34and the score will be stacked against him by the end of it.

01:26:37Josh, let me ask you this. What's your plan of getting back to the TNA World Championship now?

01:26:42You 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 GDC on Joe Hendry.

01:27:01But look at Hendry. Plenty of life in him. Plenty of fight in Joe Hendry.

01:27:06There's a lot of heart. A lot of heart in Joe Hendry.

01:27:10Can't deny that. He's a strong kid. Look at that.

01:27:14Oh, and a suplex by Hendry.

01:27:19There you go.

01:27:22Get up and get it done, Joe. Come on. Get up and get it done.

01:27:26How deep can he dig? That's the question.

01:27:29Trying to get a tag here. Gets it to Mike Santana.

01:27:33And Santana to meet Moose.

01:27:35And Santana has his own vendetta with Moose.

01:27:38Right off the Slammiversary, JDC was sent by Moose

01:27:42to take Santana out of the road to Slammiversary qualifying matches.

01:27:47Moose cost Santana a shot at his then TNA world title.

01:27:52Santana's had his eyes, his crosshairs squarely on the system ever since.

01:28:03Out of the corner, Santana.

01:28:05Oh, kick right to the face of Moose.

01:28:09And no doubt, Santana's a dangerous man.

01:28:13Kick right to the face, and the realist plants JDC.

01:28:18JDC's got to get it together. I mean, if he wants those dreams of

01:28:22being officially in the system, look out.

01:28:25Oh, the rolling buck fifty.

01:28:31Santana, pretty impressive.

01:28:34Starting to cook here in the impact zone.

01:28:37JDC launched into Moose by Santana.

01:28:42There you go.

01:28:45Oh, maybe you should focus on the match at hand. Don't worry about me.

01:28:51Oh! Another 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, didn'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, Josh Alexander's point should have been paid.

01:29:20He's got a match going on, a main event nonetheless.

01:29:25Santana is fired up, and now JDC once again going after Santana.

01:29:31Pump kick right to the side of the head.

01:29:34Now Santana fighting two on one here.

01:29:36This is a bad place to be for Mike Santana.

01:29:40Spear by Moose.

01:29:43And is this it? Could this be? Could it be?

01:29:47The system wins.

01:29:51Here are your winners, JDC and Moose.

01:29:55And not only did the system win,

01:29:57we can say that officially because as a matter of result,

01:30:00JDC is in, baby.

01:30:03It is official.

01:30:05Oh, it's beautiful, Tom.

01:30:07It's beautiful. It 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. Not too bad.

01:30:40You got a new catchphrase. The system is reboot.

01:30:44Well, all you had to do

01:30:48was look me in the eye

01:30:50and say you wanted to fight me. You 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? I've never beaten you, Moose.

01:31:03All you had to do was step to me face to face.

01:31:06Now that I'm the TNA champion,

01:31:09I'm a fighting champion.

01:31:11All you had to do was look me in the eye.

01:31:12But you know what?

01:31:14You 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 to post his own ideas there,

01:31:25but for fans to say,

01:31:27you're the best, you're the greatest of all time,

01:31:29you're the most underrated, you 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,

01:31:41and I'm gonna beat you because it's been killing me

01:31:43for months that I didn't get to pin

01:31:46the man that I thought was the best.

01:31:49Victory Road.

01:31:51Moose, you can reboot the system all you want,

01:31:53but you will never, ever

01:31:56take out the wanted man.
