00:00Welcome back inside the Boeing Center in Techport in San Antonio.
00:05We're back on Impact.
00:07The following contest is set for one fall,
00:10and it is for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship.
00:15Introducing first, they are the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions,
00:21Danny Luna and the Wild Child, Jodie Threat.
00:24Together they are Spinfire.
00:28It was do or die this past weekend here in the Alamo City at Victory Road
00:33as Spinfire challenged for the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles.
00:37They took the championship from the team of Slivovic and Steeles,
00:42and if they'd lost, they would have had to have disbanded forever.
00:45Look at the smiles on their faces.
00:47And wasting no time, putting those titles on the line.
00:52Once again, we're graced by the presence of the liaison between NXT and TNA.
00:57Ladies, thank you.
01:00I just wanted to come out here and extend my warmest congratulations
01:05to the both of you for winning the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships
01:11at Victory Road.
01:16I've been keeping my eye on this division,
01:20and I'd like to see you defend those championships against some new competition.
01:27So, without further ado,
01:31I will present to you your challengers from NXT.
01:35And honestly, they're like two of my best friends.
01:40Introducing, Kendall Grey and Carly Reigns.
01:50Once again, we are graced by the presence of NXT.
01:56No pun intended on that one, I might add.
01:59Coming in here and getting an opportunity at Knockouts Tag Team Gold.
02:05So, this is Kendall Grey in the red and Carly Bright in the blue.
02:10Great opportunity for these NXT stars to challenge
02:15for a Knockouts World Tag Team Championship,
02:18which Spitfire just won this past weekend.
02:20You know, falling right into the modicum of a, you know,
02:24the fighting champion that they've always wanted to be and claim to be.
02:28And so now they are backing that up.
02:30And that's some, can you imagine the upset it would be
02:34if Carly Bright and Kendall Grey here came in here
02:36and won the Knockouts World Tag Titles?
02:38It would be historic.
02:39There's never been an instance where an active WWE wrestler
02:42has captured a TNA Championship.
02:44So, this could be history in the making.
02:46And several people try to set that record in the last several weeks.
02:50A little bit of respect there between Jodie Threat and Kendall Grey.
02:54Now, I know a little bit about Kendall Grey.
02:56I've been watching NXT.
02:57I know a very, very accomplished amateur wrestler.
03:01Even competed in the boys' men's division in high school, college
03:05on her way fighting to the top of her divisions.
03:08Gonna give Jodie Threat all she can handle here.
03:10I guarantee you that.
03:12Don't forget, still to come tonight, a huge six-person tag team match
03:16of the former Knockouts World Tag Team Champion Masha Slavich
03:19teams up with Matt and Jeff Hardy
03:21to take on the TNA World Tag Team Champions
03:25Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards of The System
03:27as well as Tasha Steeles.
03:29That's in our main event.
03:30Also, we're still due to hear from Joe Hendry
03:33right here in the Impact Zone.
03:34Following his huge victory against Josh Alexander
03:38this past weekend at Victory Road
03:40via submission, by the way.
03:41And also, still to come, right here in San Antonio
03:44Mike Santana versus JDC
03:46in a Texas Death Match.
03:49Cover.
03:50Trying to win the Knockouts World Tag Titles
03:52and a kick out.
03:53Quick throw.
03:54A little homage back to that amateur background
03:57I was mentioning before.
03:58Now, whoa!
04:00Forcefully, Threat sending Grey into the corner of Spitfire.
04:05Spitfire coming out of the gate here with a lot of fire.
04:10A renewed vigor, if you will,
04:12staying together as a team and as champions.
04:14And we heard from the liaison, Ariana Grace,
04:17creating this match-up, creating this opportunity.
04:20Hold on. Shoulders down.
04:21Trying to win the championship and a kick out.
04:23Ariana Grace did say earlier on tonight
04:25that next week here on Impact,
04:27she has one of her best friends, as she put it.
04:30She's got so many best friends.
04:31Apparently, to team up with the Knockouts World Champion
04:34Jordan Grace, who has a vendetta against
04:37Wendy Chu and Rosemary,
04:39especially stemming from Victory Road.
04:41That tag team match is going to go down next week on Impact.
04:49You can see that smile on the face of Danny Luna.
04:51The fact that they put it all on the line
04:53and they were able to walk out
04:55with the Knockouts World Tag Team Titles,
04:57their second Knockouts World Tag Team Championship
05:00at Victory Road.
05:01They've got all the momentum in the world right now.
05:03And Carly Bright trying to get into the ring
05:05to help out Kendall Gray.
05:07Our referee Daniel Spencer trying to control Bright.
05:12It looks like they can stand there forever.
05:17Cover by Threat.
05:19A hold on to the titles and a kick out by Kendall Gray.
05:24Credit to Gray for staying in this one.
05:27Has suffered the brunt of the offense here.
05:30Another tag made.
05:31In comes the powerhouse, Danny Luna.
05:35And it just looks like Spitfire's having fun right now.
05:40It's a renewed energy all over,
05:42but what a counter by Kendall Gray.
05:45They're trying to set up for a double team there.
05:47Well, Spitfire, Kendall Gray creates a little bit of separation
05:50and in comes Carly Bright.
05:56A series of dropkicks here from Bright
05:58representing NXT on TNA Turf.
06:01Bright, a former collegiate cheerleader
06:04and athletic as they come.
06:06Proving it right there.
06:10Huge opportunity.
06:13Huge kick right to the side of the head of Danny Luna
06:16who holds on to the top rope
06:18trying to stop the momentum of Carly Bright.
06:20Double knees.
06:24Off the top and dropping Luna.
06:27Beautiful run off the second rope there.
06:29And now the moonsault center of the ring.
06:31Standing moonsault to make history
06:33and a kick out at two.
06:36Spitfire had been very dominant in this matchup,
06:39but these moments, these spurts of offense
06:42from Bright and Gray together
06:45honestly have been very impressive.
06:47Threat has made a tag.
06:48Threat's legal against Kendall Gray.
06:50Look out.
06:52Oh, and Jody Threat got them both.
06:55And the wild child has come unglued.
07:00I know. Jody Threat's calling for it.
07:03This is how they recaptured the tag team titles.
07:06The pressure drop. Threat's legal.
07:08Cover.
07:10Spitfire throws.
07:12Here are your winners
07:14and still TNA Women's World Tag Team Champions
07:19Spitfire.
07:21Listen, a hank of an effort by Kendall Gray
07:23and Carly Bright.
07:25Our thanks to the liaison
07:27between NXT and TNA, Ariana Grace,
07:29for introducing these competitors.
07:31But there's a reason why Threat and Luna are the champs.
07:35And victory road.
07:37It was do or die.
07:39It was a make or break moment
07:41and Spitfire proved why they are the team
07:43and friends that they are.
07:45The new tag team champions.
