00:00:00No way.
00:00:02Ali, huge risk here.
00:00:05Ali coast to coast on the apron.
00:00:09Good God.
00:00:19Cover.
00:00:20Here we go.
00:00:22Santana got his shoulder up in time.
00:00:25And Ali can't believe it.
00:00:27Take a look at this.
00:00:30Ali all the way across the ring on the apron.
00:00:36No give, no bounce, no nothing.
00:00:43Everything and everything to obliterate Mike Santana from the equation once and for all.
00:00:50Mike Santana kicked out, but how much more does he have left after that?
00:00:57Ali here again.
00:01:04Oh God.
00:01:05Straight headbutt.
00:01:06Head to head.
00:01:07Ali getting into the mind of Mike Santana.
00:01:10Oh, the kick right to the face.
00:01:13Santana, boot to the face of Ali.
00:01:16Either man willing to relent here.
00:01:19Ali slides underneath.
00:01:20Face first into the middle, buckle.
00:01:35Which is stronger, the will to rule or the will to survive?
00:01:41Mike Santana looking to shut down everything.
00:01:48Oh, I think Santana was called for spin the block.
00:01:51The STB, the great hand saw it coming and attacked Santana.
00:01:56Planted right here on the apron.
00:01:59Schuyler and Hodge, Schuyler and Hodge pulling on a table.
00:02:10Don't you love it when a plan comes together?
00:02:15Schuyler looking for his own revenge, which you can understand.
00:02:17No kidding.
00:02:20Oh God.
00:02:21We gotta get out of here.
00:02:22Make some space.
00:02:23Look out.
00:02:25We knew this one would get dangerous.
00:02:28Look out.
00:02:29Ali.
00:02:30Ali climbing the rope.
00:02:35Ali on the top.
00:02:37Oh, the floor bending through the table.
00:02:40Hold on, hold on.
00:02:54A cover.
00:02:54And the rubble.
00:02:55A cover.
00:02:56Oh, and a kick out somehow by Mike Santana.
00:03:00How?
00:03:01How?
00:03:03How after this?
00:03:05From the top rope to the floor.
00:03:084.50 through the table.
00:03:10How is Mike Santana breathing, let alone still kicking out?
00:03:14Listen, this is a no-disqualifications matchup.
00:03:18Schuyler and Hodge continue the assault.
00:03:20Ali thought that was the end of Santana.
00:03:22We all did.
00:03:24How could it not be?
00:03:25That's the question.
00:03:26Now, Schuyler and Hodge grabbing these steel steps.
00:03:35There is something more than oxygen
00:03:38flowing through the lungs of Mike Santana.
00:03:41That I am damn sure of.
00:03:43Oh, the great hand setting up this steel step in the corner.
00:03:55And, oh, wait.
00:03:56Handcuffs.
00:03:57That was all fun and games when Mike Santana had John Schuyler strapped, locked to a chair
00:04:07in a back room somewhere.
00:04:09The great hands.
00:04:15Want their pound of flesh from Mike Santana.
00:04:18Oh, Santana fighting back, however.
00:04:21Wait, look out.
00:04:22Double rolling buck 50.
00:04:24This is what Santana has done his entire life.
00:04:34Rise from the ashes.
00:04:36And wait a second.
00:04:37I don't like that look in the eye of Mike Santana.
00:04:40What is he doing?
00:04:40You talked about it, how he took out John Schuyler.
00:04:44Oh, wait.
00:04:44That was because Mustafa Ali drove his friend Derek back to the bottle.
00:04:49This is what Mike Santana is willing to do to people who mess with him, his family, and
00:04:54his friends.
00:04:55Look, there's fighting.
00:04:57I get that.
00:04:58That's being a stand-up guy, whatever it is.
00:05:00But this is just beyond.
00:05:01This is a man unleashed.
00:05:03This is a man who's off his rocker.
00:05:06Schuyler and Hotch have earned this.
00:05:12Handcuffed to the ropes.
00:05:14Nowhere for them to run.
00:05:18Santana looking underneath the ring.
00:05:21I can only imagine what Santana is thinking of.
00:05:25Think of all the barbaric things that LAX has done in the past.
00:05:28Oh, my God.
00:05:30Okay, come on.
00:05:32I know there's no disqualifications, but come on, man.
00:05:36A barbed wire back.
00:05:38The great hands, they're helpless.
00:05:41Santana.
00:05:42Oh, no.
00:05:43Intercepted by Ali.
00:05:45Thank God.
00:05:46And wait a second.
00:05:47Ali not stopping.
00:05:49Ali disarming Santana.
00:05:51Ali going up top.
00:05:53Going for another 450.
00:05:55Santana gets out of the way.
00:05:57And look out.
00:05:57Oh, the Spanish fly.
00:06:00Cover.
00:06:00Center of the ring.
00:06:02Oh, and it's broken up by Tasha Steeles.
00:06:04All of Order 4 here to support the message, the campaign, the path of Mustafa Ali.
00:06:15And now Tasha Steeles looking underneath the ring for more.
00:06:19The press secretary of Order 4.
00:06:26The mistress of the message here to help Ali send it to everybody here in Los Angeles and around the world.
00:06:41The great hands are incapacitated.
00:06:53But Tasha Steeles has created an opportunity for Ali.
00:06:56Ali.
00:06:56Oh, sent into the steel post.
00:07:01Santana thwarting Ali again.
00:07:04But Tasha Steeles standing to fire him.
00:07:11Steeles has got to be careful.
00:07:18Oh, wait.
00:07:19Come on, Mike.
00:07:20Come on, Mike.
00:07:21Oh, come on, Mike.
00:07:26Oh, my God.
00:07:27Oh, my God, Mike.
00:07:29You've got to be kidding me.
00:07:32Oh, my God.
00:07:33Steeles through the table.
00:07:45Mike Santana single-handedly wiping out Order 4.
00:07:53Take another look at this.
00:07:54Mike Santana is incensed.
00:07:57Mike Santana is off the hook here.
00:08:02Oh, and now Mustafa Ali with a steel chair.
00:08:08But that's the man he has to beat.
00:08:10That's the man he has to pin to the floor, to the mat, to wherever in this Falls Count Anywhere match.
00:08:20And now Ali pulling out a table.
00:08:22A third table introducing this Falls Count Anywhere match.
00:08:27Perhaps third time's the charm for Mustafa Ali.
00:08:33As the great hands, they're still lying.
00:08:38I mean, Mustafa Ali's got to focus on the match, though.
00:08:40Somehow, this Falls Count Anywhere matchup has continued.
00:08:46Both these men have endured so much punishment.
00:08:52What is it going to take to that point, Tom?
00:08:55What is it going to take to break either one of these men?
00:08:59What will break first, your body or your mind?
00:09:06That is the test.
00:09:13Oh, my God.
00:09:14Ali thinking about leaping over those steps.
00:09:18Oh, wait!
00:09:18Oh, and Santana laying into the great hands for good measure.
00:09:26What in the hell is Santana thinking?
00:09:29This is dangerous, dangerous territory here.
00:09:33The great hands are incapacitated.
00:09:35Santana on top of the steps has got a hold of Ali.
00:09:41Oh, come on.
00:09:42And a super blast through that table.
00:09:48Good God.
00:09:50Is that it?
00:09:52One, two, three.
00:09:54Oh, my God.
00:09:55Some of Ali's still alive.
00:10:06One more time.
00:10:07We got to see this.
00:10:09Bringing this rivalry to new heights.
00:10:12The super blasts off the stairs through the table.
00:10:22Absolutely obliterating themselves to win this matchup.
00:10:28And, oh, wait.
00:10:29Ali's got a hold of that barbed wire back.
00:10:37And there's Santana.
00:10:38I don't know if Santana's aware.
00:10:39Oh, the barbed wire to the skull.
00:10:43Oh, oh, and it's stuck.
00:10:45Oh.
00:10:48A referee checking on Mike Santana.
00:10:53The nasty levels that Mustafa Ali is willing to go to.
00:10:58And look at the back of Mustafa Ali.
00:11:00Ali!
00:11:01Ali!
00:11:02Ali!
00:11:02No man is leaving this unscarned.
00:11:08Look at the side.
00:11:09Yes, look at that shot.
00:11:11The back of Mustafa Ali after going into that table.
00:11:15But Mike Santana, the back of your screen.
00:11:18Wait a minute.
00:11:28Not dead yet.
00:11:32Oh, with the barbed wire.
00:11:34Ben Ali tried to lash out.
00:11:40Santana hits spin the block.
00:11:42Baptized in blood.
00:11:44Santana beats Ali.
00:11:46It falls down anywhere.
00:11:49Here is Dore's winner.
00:11:53Mike Santana.
00:11:58Santana just took Ali to his own rock bottom.
00:12:02Mustafa Ali was seemingly willing to do anything to send his message home to Mike Santana and
00:12:18to everyone in the TNA world.
00:12:22Take a look back here at some of the highlights of this match.
00:12:25For this season, the very early goings, this block of anywhere match, exploring the space
00:12:29here in the Gale and Saturday at USC.
00:12:32It was absolute carnage.
00:12:34These guys took it everywhere, putting everything on the line to destroy one another.
00:12:41Destroy what the other stood for, what the other believed in.
00:12:46Order 4 tried their best to back up Ali.
00:12:50But in the end, no matter what happened, Mike Santana sends his message home.
00:13:02Mike Santana getting the victory in fall count anywhere.
00:13:05Remember, this began well over two years ago with a Christmas letter from Mike Santana's
00:13:11daughter, Ariana, to her father to get sober.
00:13:14And for over two years now, Mike Santana has been sober.
00:13:17And Mustafa Ali has been attempting to prove that Mike Santana cannot carry the mantle as
00:13:22the standard of TNA wrestling tonight.
00:13:25Mike Santana approved all of that and more.
00:13:28I mean, they pushed themselves to every limit imaginable.
00:13:32Credit to both men.
00:13:33But Mike Santana stands tall.
00:13:37Well, right now here in Los Angeles, as we mentioned, the stars are out.
00:13:40We do want to issue an apology to Barbara Crampton, who we ID'd earlier on tonight.
00:13:44There is Barbara Crampton.
00:13:46We appreciate her so much.
00:13:48A horror movie icon from a legendary screen queen right here in Los Angeles.
00:13:53We appreciate it so much.
00:13:55Absolutely.
00:13:55The world is watching TNA Rebellion.
00:14:00Well, there you see Frankie Kazarian, the Call Your Shot gauntlet winner from right here in
00:14:06Los Angeles.
00:14:07He has officially called his shot and he will be getting his TNA world title shot that he has
00:14:12coveted.
00:14:13Can he capture the title that has eluded him throughout his incredible career?
00:14:17But it was this man who tried to take that opportunity from him, sliding in and getting a TNA world title shot.
00:14:25Representing NXT.
00:14:26Can Ethan Page get it done tonight in the main event of Rebellion?
00:14:31Ethan Page getting his first ever shot at the TNA world championship.
00:14:35And there is the champion Joe Hendry riding high off of his WrestleMania moment last weekend.
00:14:41But you see that panesio tape.
00:14:43He is dealing with a rotator cuff injury that has been exacerbated.
00:14:48He defends later on tonight.
00:14:50Well, right now we throw to our broadcast colleague, Gia Miller at ringside.
00:14:54Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing by with the newest signing to the knockouts division, Indy Hartwell.
00:15:06Indy, how does it feel to be a knockout?
00:15:10No, I mean, like, you can hear them.
00:15:12Gia, this is a dream come true for me, honestly.
00:15:15Like, oh yeah.
00:15:17Yeah.
00:15:18It's a dream come true for me, and I want to say it's officially official.
00:15:27Indy Hartwell has crossed the line.
00:15:35What a moment.
00:15:36And as you can see there, Indy Hartwell's Cross the Line shirt is available now at TNAmerch.com.
00:15:43That is a huge acquisition for TNA Wrestling.
00:15:46Indy Hartwell, Australian.
00:15:48It's been about two years since TNA Wrestling did the Down Under Tour.
00:15:52It was very popular in Australia.
00:15:53I'd love to personally get back to them.
00:15:55Hell yeah.
00:15:56I do understand that we are going to hear from Indy Hartwell this coming Thursday, live on TNA Impact.
00:16:02Special start time at 10 p.m. Eastern, live on AXS TV in the United States, Sportsnet Plus in Canada, and worldwide on TNA Plus.
00:16:11Well, we are worldwide tonight for Rebellion, and our triple main event is about to begin.
00:16:16First on tap, it is the Knockouts World Championship.
00:16:20Maja Slamovich, for the first time ever, will go one-on-one with Tessa Blanchard in defense of her title.
00:16:27Tessa Blanchard needed an advantage entering this and chose to make it personal.
00:16:32Can Slamovich leave doubt at the door?
00:16:35It's Slamovich and Blanchard for the title tonight.
00:16:38Ten years of endless sacrifices and sacrificing everything to chase the dream.
00:16:56Ten years.
00:16:57Ten years.
00:16:58And they all lead to me having to beat my best friend to win this title, and for what?
00:17:11This company, this industry, they run on Tessa Blanchard time.
00:17:18A Blanchard doesn't wait in line.
00:17:21It's Tessa Blanchard attacking Masha Slamovich.
00:17:24When you want to talk about the best in the world, you can go ahead and add Tessa Blanchard's name to that conversation.
00:17:31So I think that it's time that I beat you, and I take back what's mine.
00:17:37For me to hear hater after hater, doubter after doubter, come out of the woodworks.
00:17:44And that bitch, the biggest hater of them all, Tessa.
00:17:53I was born into a legacy.
00:17:56I'm not just ending your story.
00:17:58I'm becoming the reason that no one ever tells it again.
00:18:02You jumped an 83-year-old man.
00:18:05The one man who believed in me.
00:18:08The one man who gave me this life.
00:18:10The one man who believed in me.
00:18:11Does Blanchard understand what she has unlocked in the mind of Masha Slamovich?
00:18:19I want you to hurt me.
00:18:24When you step in this ring with me, you're not going to be walking out.
00:18:28As we get set for the beginning of our triple main event tonight, sold out live in Los Angeles, let's look at the tail of the tape.
00:18:40Two very evenly matched stars.
00:18:43Incredible intensity from both Slamovich and Tessa Blanchard.
00:18:47Slamovich is on a 10-match winning streak in singles competition.
00:18:51Meanwhile, Tessa Blanchard trying to recapture the Knockouts World Championship she held years ago.
00:19:21The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the TNA Knockout World Championship.
00:19:30Introducing first the challenger from Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:19:35She is the undeniable diamond, Tessa Blanchard.
00:19:44Tessa Blanchard has done a great job of doing what very few have ever done.
00:19:52And that is play psychological warfare with Masha Slamovich getting personal.
00:19:58Going after the mentor, the trainer of Masha Slamovich, Johnny Rods.
00:20:04Getting deep into the soul of the Knockouts World Champion.
00:20:08Will it be enough to win tonight?
00:20:14And her opponent, from Moscow, Russia, she is the TNA Knockout World Champion, Masha Slamovich.
00:20:38Masha Slamovich thinking of Johnny Rods, an 83-year-old man who was put in the hospital by Tessa Blanchard.
00:20:47Also, the undeniable diamond could send a message to her opponent tonight at Rebellion.
00:20:54Masha Slamovich doing her best to put emotions to the side and focus on the task at hand.
00:21:00Good luck to her on that.
00:21:02She'll have to.
00:21:03Because if she doesn't, and Tessa Blanchard will have win.
00:21:07Wait a minute.
00:21:08Oh, and look at this.
00:21:09Slamovich firing off the first salvo.
00:21:12What was that about putting emotions aside?
00:21:17Slamovich, it appeared, had a plan with Blanchard.
00:21:21Oh, my God.
00:21:22Rushing in with a knee strike.
00:21:24Trying to retain the title quickly.
00:21:26And a kick out.
00:21:26This is an early emotional storm from Slamovich.
00:21:31Going for the snow plow.
00:21:32Oh, he got it.
00:21:33Snow plow.
00:21:34Cover.
00:21:35I'm going to kick out by Blanchard.
00:21:38Can you imagine if this match ended just like that?
00:21:41Can you imagine what that would do to the psyche of Tessa Blanchard?
00:21:47Huge kick by Masha Slamovich.
00:21:49And think about the emotions running through the mind of Masha Slamovich.
00:21:54Think about the way that Tessa Blanchard has taken every possible opening in tag team matches
00:22:00to score the pinfalls that set up this title match.
00:22:04And that's very, it was calculated.
00:22:05It was smart.
00:22:06It was underhanded if you want to call it that.
00:22:08But it was effective from Blanchard.
00:22:10It got her.
00:22:12Cover.
00:22:12Forearm in the face.
00:22:13Kick out.
00:22:13It got her exactly to this point where she wanted to be fighting for the Knockouts World Championship.
00:22:19It has been nearly six years since Blanchard held the Knockouts World Championship.
00:22:27Smashing that knee into the canvas.
00:22:29Cover and a kick out.
00:22:30The champion's still in it.
00:22:31And after an early salvo from Slamovich there, Blanchard has taken control of the Knockouts World Champion.
00:22:42Slamovich sent throat first into the middle row.
00:22:44Blanchard.
00:22:45Oh!
00:22:46Single leg drop kick right to the spine.
00:22:49Blanchard's not done.
00:22:50Oh, caught up.
00:22:52Caught there by Slamovich.
00:22:55Blanchard's already proven what she's willing to do to get into the mind, to get into the head of Masha Slamovich.
00:23:05What is she willing to do in this matchup?
00:23:08Oh, wait.
00:23:12Whoa, Slamovich.
00:23:14Blanchard.
00:23:15Oh, taking Slamovich off her foot.
00:23:18Dangerous situation here.
00:23:20Another cover.
00:23:21Trying to win the title on a kick out by Slamovich.
00:23:28Slamovich was thinking a big suplex from the outside in, but Blanchard had the answer.
00:23:34Think about the frustrations that Blanchard has created.
00:23:37Those tag team matches I've mentioned.
00:23:39Blanchard then attacking Johnny Rods, putting him in the hospital.
00:23:42And, by the way, Tessa Blanchard targeting Masha Slamovich.
00:23:45That invited enemies in NXT's fatal influence.
00:23:48Victoria Crawford popping up in the midst of the six-person or the mixed tag team matchup that we saw at Unbreakable last week.
00:23:56Well, moments ago, a former NXT Women's Champion of Indy Hartwell was announced as a signing here to TNA Wrestling.
00:24:03Think of all the distractions for the champion.
00:24:06Cover.
00:24:07Shoulders down and a kick out.
00:24:08Almost former champion there.
00:24:11As you see, Tessa Blanchard focusing her assault on the leg of Masha Slamovich.
00:24:16Trying to absolutely obliterate the lower base of the champion.
00:24:20183 days as champion for Masha Slamovich ever since dethroning her best friend Jordan Grace back at Bound for Glory in October.
00:24:33And she's been on a tear to your point in her singles matches, winning match after match, putting away challenger after challenger.
00:24:40But I have to imagine, in the mind of Slamovich, I hope it is, this is the biggest challenge yet.
00:24:49And Blanchard has found an opening.
00:24:51This injured left knee continuing the assault.
00:24:54Oh, my God, look at this.
00:24:59Look at the predicament.
00:25:01Slamovich is in absolutely defenseless.
00:25:05Nearly snapping her leg off in the ropes there.
00:25:09Cover.
00:25:09Hook to that injured leg.
00:25:11Shoulders down and forcing Slamovich to get the shoulder up.
00:25:15Again, I mean, it goes without saying in a way, but you take away the legs, you take away the base,
00:25:20you take away a lot of power from a potential snowplow.
00:25:24Even to hit Requiem is going to be a little bit more difficult.
00:25:28Anything you need to base for like that.
00:25:30Shuts down a lot of the explosivity of Masha Slamovich.
00:25:34That is her bread and butter.
00:25:35Those kicks that Masha's known for as well.
00:25:42Now, just bending Slamovich here.
00:25:46Trying to tie her legs into a pretzel, into a knot here.
00:25:49Slamovich grabbing at the hair of Blanchard, the referee.
00:25:52Alice Lane keeping control of this matchup.
00:25:56Remember, Taito can only change hands via pinfall or submission in the ring,
00:25:59not via countout or disqualification.
00:26:02Look at Blanchard using.
00:26:04Wait, wait.
00:26:04Cover here.
00:26:05Shoulders down.
00:26:06Shoulders down now.
00:26:07Oh, and a kickout.
00:26:08But look what it took from Slamovich to kick out.
00:26:10I mean, because you use your whole lower body to kick out.
00:26:13Again, further agony, further pain on that left leg.
00:26:17The way Blanchard was using Masha's own right leg to apply even more pressure to that injured left leg.
00:26:24It's just showing the lengths that Blanchard is willing to go to.
00:26:27Now, they're trying to pull down the knee pad.
00:26:32Get as close to the bone as she can.
00:26:34You see how nasty all things have been between Blanchard and Slamovich.
00:26:39The physicality, the intensity is at a whole other level.
00:26:42Well, you talk about Blanchard.
00:26:46You talk about Masha Slamovich beating Jordan Grace.
00:26:52You know who else did that?
00:26:53Tessa Blanchard.
00:26:54Back at Genesis.
00:26:56Talk about making a statement about returning here to TNA Wrestling.
00:27:03Now, Blanchard focused in on Masha Slamovich.
00:27:08Off the top.
00:27:09Oh, we're singing about Magnum.
00:27:11And that's how she beat Jordan Grace, to your point.
00:27:13And Genesis.
00:27:14Oh, turned it into a destroyer.
00:27:17Counter for counter.
00:27:21Blanchard charging at Slamovich.
00:27:25On Code Red.
00:27:28Code Red by Slamovich creating a little bit of time for her to recuperate.
00:27:35Is this the opening Slamovich needs?
00:27:37You see the pain that's on the face of Blanchard.
00:27:39Take another look here.
00:27:44The pain on the champion.
00:27:48Trying to get some feeling back in that leg.
00:27:51Trying to get back into this fight.
00:27:53Count of six from the official, both after the count of ten to get back up to their feet, so this match can continue.
00:28:05And both competitors do, but you see Masha still, ooh, she's kicking with that injured leg.
00:28:17Willing to throw that one to the wind so she can plant on the other.
00:28:21Back fist.
00:28:21German surplexed by Slamovich.
00:28:25Masha's pushing through the pain.
00:28:27Here's the cover.
00:28:28Shoulders down and a kick out.
00:28:30Not enough to put the challenger away.
00:28:36We know the toughness.
00:28:49We know the fortitude of Slamovich, but it is all being put to the test here.
00:28:54Hold on a second.
00:28:55Trying to set up for Requiem.
00:28:57Blanchard holding onto the legs, however.
00:29:00Hold on.
00:29:00Blanchard jackknife cover and a kick out.
00:29:03To that point, oh, it took was a strike to that leg.
00:29:05And Blanchard could take back over.
00:29:08Slamovich once again was trying to set up for Requiem.
00:29:11That's shut down by Blanchard.
00:29:13Having answers every bit of the wear here.
00:29:15You can see the fire on the face of Blanchard, the dragon screw.
00:29:22Blanchard came in here with a plan and is executing it perfectly.
00:29:30And now look at this.
00:29:32A variation on the figure four here.
00:29:35Once again, tying up the legs of Slamovich.
00:29:40Straight out of the playbook of the horsemen from years ago.
00:29:44Ooh.
00:29:45Slamovich, though, defiant to the bitter end.
00:29:51And Blanchard hammering away on the knee.
00:29:55Oh, look at this.
00:29:56Trying to destroy the right knee as well.
00:30:00Literally just obliterating the lower base of Masha Slamovich.
00:30:09Oh, grabbing onto the hair of the referee.
00:30:12Trying to worm both of them.
00:30:13Oh, and Blanchard biting Slamovich.
00:30:16That's how nasty and personal this has gotten.
00:30:20Our referee warning Blanchard.
00:30:23All tied up here.
00:30:27All tied up.
00:30:30Right near the ropes, though.
00:30:32Slamovich grabbing a hold of the bottom rope.
00:30:34Blanchard was trying to earn a submission here in the corner, but has to break before the count of five.
00:30:39Fortunate positioning there for the knockouts world champion.
00:30:43Able to break that hold, but again, it's the classic question.
00:30:48How much damage has already been done?
00:30:49Blanchard trying to prove a point to Slamovich and everyone.
00:31:10You heard her just yell there, there's levels to this.
00:31:14Believing all of TNA runs on Blanchard time.
00:31:17And she's here to prove it.
00:31:29Oh, hold on.
00:31:30Blanchard.
00:31:31Blanchard got caught.
00:31:32Blanchard caught there in the corner.
00:31:34And an opening now for Slamovich.
00:31:36Dragging Blanchard here.
00:31:39God.
00:31:40Slamovich is trying to get Blanchard up.
00:31:43Are they trying to get Blanchard up to the top turnbuckle?
00:31:46Maybe we're singing Requiem from up there.
00:31:47Maybe, but...
00:31:48Oh!
00:31:49Wait a minute, aversion of Magnum out of the corner.
00:31:52Are you kidding me?
00:31:52Cover!
00:31:53Oh, and the right shoulder up in time.
00:31:55And look at the look on Blanchard's face.
00:32:00She was convinced.
00:32:06As you see her on the double knees.
00:32:10But not enough.
00:32:12Slamovich stays in it.
00:32:20And now, Blanchard has to wonder, has to go deep into the playbook now to put this one away.
00:32:27Oh, now, thinking about Buzzsaw.
00:32:31Trying to end this.
00:32:31Trying to capture the Knockouts World Championship.
00:32:35Slamovich dropping, though.
00:32:37Dropping to the knee.
00:32:38Counters.
00:32:40Great forearm shot.
00:32:42Hold on a second.
00:32:43Trying to set up a Requiem.
00:32:45Matches Slamovich off of the ropes.
00:32:47Slamovich.
00:32:48Oh, my God.
00:32:49The sit-up powerbomb.
00:32:50Cover.
00:32:51Oh, Blanchard popped out at two.
00:32:54What a counter back and forth there.
00:32:57Blanchard staying in this one.
00:33:01Slamovich on essentially one good leg.
00:33:12And Blanchard continues the attack on the left knee.
00:33:15Oh, taking out the footing.
00:33:17Cutter!
00:33:18Middle of the ring.
00:33:21Sense of urgency now from Blanchard.
00:33:23Once again.
00:33:24There it is!
00:33:25There it is!
00:33:25Buzzsaw it!
00:33:27Do we have a new champion?
00:33:29Cover!
00:33:29Oh, and Masha kicked out of Buzzsaw!
00:33:35Blanchard cannot believe it.
00:33:37Quite frankly, neither can I.
00:33:41Slamovich kicked out of Buzzsaw.
00:33:45Blanchard can't believe it.
00:33:46Well, there's no time for Tessa Blanchard to be frustrated if she wants to win the Knockouts World title.
00:33:54She's got to move.
00:34:00And heading up to the high-rent district.
00:34:04High risk.
00:34:05High reward potentially here for Blanchard.
00:34:08Oh, Blanchard.
00:34:13Oh, wait a minute.
00:34:15The fans, I believe, getting into the head of Tessa Blanchard.
00:34:19Tessa taking too much time.
00:34:21How is Slamovich climbing the ropes here?
00:34:24On basically one good leg.
00:34:27And now Slamovich trying to find a way to put away Blanchard.
00:34:32Thinking superplexed.
00:34:33Blanchard, though, desperately trying to block.
00:34:36Fighting, fighting for advantage here in dangerous territory.
00:34:49Oh, God.
00:34:51Open bombs right by Blanchard.
00:34:53Precarious.
00:34:55Precarious situation here.
00:35:00Nasty headbutts from Slamovich.
00:35:02Oh, my God.
00:35:05Up on the shoulder.
00:35:06Shoulders rolling through.
00:35:09Oh, with a knee strike.
00:35:11Slamovich.
00:35:12Cover.
00:35:13Oh, the kick out by Blanchard.
00:35:15But wait a minute.
00:35:16Oh.
00:35:17The bar.
00:35:18Arm bar.
00:35:19As the armor bending.
00:35:21Blanchard in the head.
00:35:21That's it.
00:35:22Blanchard taps to Slamovich.
00:35:24Here is your winner by submission and still the DNA knockout world champion, Masha Slamovich.
00:35:41What a war between two of the most intense women's athletes in the game today.
00:35:50But Slamovich on one good leg does it.
00:35:55Take a look back at the closing moments.
00:35:57Rolling through with this death valley driver off the top.
00:36:00A huge knee strike.
00:36:02And this is a new one out of the playbook of Slamovich here at TNA.
00:36:06Couldn't get the pinball.
00:36:08So wait for an arm bar.
00:36:11Nothing fancy about it.
00:36:12Straight forward.
00:36:13Bend that arm until it breaks or your opponent taps.
00:36:17Caught Blanchard by surprise.
00:36:19No doubt about it.
00:36:21Slamovich proving why she is at the top of the mountain of the knockouts division.
00:36:26Well, what a performance by both Tessa Blanchard and the TNA knockouts world champion, Masha Slamovich, retaining tonight at Rebellion.
00:36:38That was as hard-hitting a matchup as we've seen in some time in the knockouts.
00:36:42I mean, we expected it to be nasty and hard-hitting, and it delivered on every little bit of it.
00:36:47Well, we are so grateful to have so many fans here in Los Angeles who sold out tonight on the campus of USC.
00:36:53Joining us at ringside are the Haroon Twins, big stars on YouTube, over 3.37 million followers on YouTube.
00:37:04Thank you to the Haroon Twins for joining us tonight for TNA Rebellion.
00:37:08And the action continues tonight as a part of our triple main event.
00:37:13That's right.
00:37:14Up next, it is Brothers vs. Brothers.
00:37:17The TNA World Tag Team Championships are on the line as the Hardys defend against Nick and Ryan Nemeth.
00:37:29About a year ago, everyone started talking about TNA again.
00:37:34Everyone was saying TNA was the place to be, the best company in professional wrestling, and they were right.
00:37:41And it was all because of me, just as everyone's saying TNA is the place to be, the Hardys slimily slid on in and took all the credit.
00:37:52Hell, can't Hardy try to drive a wedge between me and my brother?
00:37:56Ryan has never, never been in this match.
00:38:00Okay, just, uh, just do me one thing.
00:38:03Let me be the one to tell him, all right?
00:38:06Nick, he is in the room.
00:38:08What the hell?
00:38:11Ryan Nemeth locked the cave door.
00:38:14This is a premeditated assault.
00:38:19You should have realized family is most important.
00:38:25The Hardys have returned.
00:38:30I am glad you are having a terrible evening, you treasonous Nimeth brothers.
00:38:36I would like to invite you to the hardy compound, where you will suffer deletion.
00:38:46I see dead people.
00:38:50Welcome.
00:38:50I wouldn't do that if I were you!
00:39:17We have the hardys versus the Nibbets.
00:39:33We delete!
00:39:35Delete!
00:39:35Delete!
00:39:36in the wake of a mind-bending trip to the hardy compound we are set for this tna world tag team
00:39:52championship match here live at rebellion let's take a look at the tag lines this is the highest
00:39:57profile brothers versus brothers tag team match in tna history nick and ryan assaulting matt hardy
00:40:04inside of a steel cage back at sacrifice the nemes visited the hardy compound this thursday
00:40:10on impact and they absconded with the tna world tag team titles
00:40:15the tna world tag team championship
00:40:26introducing first the challenges the team of ryan
00:40:32now to your point even though as you heard mackenzie mitchell correctly announced the
00:40:57nemesis as the challengers they did leave the hardy compound physically with the gold
00:41:03and are clearly trying to send a message to the hardys a vision of things to come for real
00:41:09perhaps later tonight the fact that these two escaped with their lives and their minds intact
00:41:17from the hardy compound is astonishing that they themselves are not mentally broken after that
00:41:24experience you know i don't think dr wolfie is a licensed psychologist i question him
00:41:32he took a deep dive in the mind of ryan meneth at the hardy compound and there were corners of
00:41:38his brain that i did not know existed we're going to see what corners of his brain are able to get
00:41:46the job done here at rebellion
00:41:49and their opponents from the hardy compound in kansas north carolina they are the tna world tag team
00:42:19the hardy compound in kansas north carolina the hardys are here to reclaim their tna world tag team title
00:42:40belt from nick and ryan nameth and going right after the nameths again they are the rightful champions
00:42:48as this match starts there are your tna world tag team champions
00:42:56matt and jeffrey claiming their property
00:43:00but will the nemeths suffer deletion tonight at rebellion
00:43:12they tried their best to send a message to the champs
00:43:17to try to mess with them after they got their minds messed with at the hardy compound
00:43:24and that is what it's all about the tna world tag team titles
00:43:41it's the longest tag team title reign in three years in this company for the hardys
00:43:47and now the meneths dive into the ring right after the hardys this match is underway
00:43:55i mean we shouldn't have expected anything else we knew how personal this got back at sacrifice
00:44:02and we may be in the backyard of the hollywood hunk himself but everywhere tna goes is hardy country
00:44:18oh let's hear about the twist of fate hit the tdt off of nimitz block oh and a kick out there
00:44:24trying to retain the tag team titles but as i was saying we should have known this was going to start the
00:44:30way it did again considering how personal and how violently this started back at sacrifice
00:44:35inside the confines of that cage when nick nemeth brutally beat down matt hardy with his brother ryan
00:44:43bloodying that in the center of the ring nick nemeth sent throat first into the middle rope
00:44:49and how did nick and ryan emmeth explain their actions nick nemeth saying that the hardys quote
00:44:55snaked in here in 2023 and stole the spotlight that he grabbed in january and hard to kill 2024
00:45:04pure jealousy from the nemeth who's the cover and a kick out and then there's ryan nemeth who is here
00:45:11because he's nick nemeth's freaking brother look people have been overlooking ryan nemeth for far
00:45:18too long justifiably so oh come on the man he's a man of many talents he's a he's a renaissance man
00:45:25all right and with his brother by his side i think he's capable of the world and to end to getting
00:45:33to nick nemeth's motivation talking about look we can argue about whether the hardys snaked in of
00:45:39course they're always welcome here a huge part of tna's legacy and history but anybody who's worked
00:45:44here as long and in this business as long as the hardys as long as that man the wanted man nick
00:45:50nemeth you know when someone else comes in to take your spot you defend it you don't let them come in
00:45:56just willy-nilly like that nick nemeth all over jeff hardy right now ryan nemeth barking at jeff
00:46:04i understand your point about defending your spot that's something we've known for years about
00:46:09professional wrestling but i think nick nemeth runs a lot deeper than that some things that he's not
00:46:14compared to admit the fact that he lost the tna world championship at genesis back in january to
00:46:20joe hendry and that he got eclipsed by the global phenomenon joe hendry and then all this all these
00:46:26things that matt hardy had said about hey they didn't want to have ryan nemeth on the team heading
00:46:31into sacrifice nick nemeth he made a decision to back up his brother i can understand that i can almost
00:46:36respect it but to support this schmuck ryan nemeth who's only here because he's a nepo baby brother
00:46:43here's a cover and a kick out nick nemeth is blind to that fact ryan nemeth again has made his own
00:46:50career he's wrestled all over he i've wrestled ryan nemeth i know how what he's capable of he's also made
00:46:56a career in hollywood writing comedy film television tag and now matt hardy out of the corner
00:47:10trying to delete ryan nemeth here this is extremely personal for matt hardy left beaten and bloodied
00:47:18inside the cage with sacrifice yes but he had to return home to cameron north carolina look his wife
00:47:26and children in the face they saw how beaten and bloody their husband and father was and it scarred them

00:56:14and has secured the tag team titles
00:56:18for him and his brother Nick.
00:56:23Take a look back at the closing moments of this matchup.
00:56:27First, Jeff Hardy been caught up on the Swanton Bomb.
00:56:30Then the low blow from Nick Nemeth.
00:56:32The referee didn't see it.
00:56:33Danger zone, number one, and man, the tag made.
00:56:37Matt Hardy was incapacitated on the outside.
00:56:41Ryan Nemeth just pinned Jeff Hardy
00:56:43to win the TNA World Tag Team titles.
00:56:47Hell just froze over.
00:56:52The Nemeths said family first
00:56:56and they meant it look like
00:56:58the best brother tag team
00:57:03and they've got the hardware to prove it.
00:57:10I cannot believe what just transpired.
00:57:14You better learn to believe it, Tom.
00:57:17Ladies and gentlemen, the next time we'll be live on TNA+.
00:57:21It's three weeks from Friday
00:57:22in the greater Toronto area
00:57:23at Under Siege.
00:57:25TNA Wrestling presents Under Siege, Friday, May 23rd on TNA+.

00:57:52Ladies and gentlemen,
00:58:13You are witnessing...
00:58:17You are a part of history tonight.
00:58:22This is one of the most incredibly serious
00:58:26pay-per-views I've ever seen in mine's life.
00:58:28Now it's time for the third match of the triple main event
00:58:34and I know we have opinions, we have views.
00:58:37Let's hear what you've got to say.
00:58:38Who is your pick?
00:58:39Who's going to be the champion by the end of the night tonight?
00:58:42I wish I could say that this was a difficult decision,
00:58:46but for me it's not.
00:58:48I know that Ethan Page is laser-focused
00:58:50and Frankie is, of course, well, he's Frankie.
00:58:54And I know Joe's not at 100%,
00:58:55but no matter what, I will always believe in Joe Hendry.
00:59:00I hear you, I hear you, I hear you.
00:59:10We all believe, we all believe.
00:59:12But I'm going Ethan Page, baby.
00:59:15I'm going Ethan Page.
00:59:20All day.
00:59:21I believe Joe Hendry.
00:59:33I believe in Joe F. in Hendry.
00:59:40Now that's the passion I'm talking about.
00:59:43That's the condition I'm talking about.
00:59:45And when it comes to me,
00:59:47I'm going with the boy from Edinburgh, Scotland,
00:59:49Joe Henley.
00:59:51Now, ladies and gentlemen,
00:59:53I'd like to draw your attention
00:59:55to the big TV.
00:59:59Television.
01:00:01Say his name and he appears.
01:00:04Joe Hendry is your TNA World Champion.
01:00:09Not only will I be a fighting champion,
01:00:12but I will put this on the line
01:00:14against anyone
01:00:16from anywhere.
01:00:21Okay, listen, Joe.
01:00:22We've got to get you to the hospital.
01:00:23I need a film
01:00:24to make sure that this isn't torn.
01:00:26I'm not going to the hospital.
01:00:27We're not going to the hospital.
01:00:27You're the TNA World Champion.
01:00:30I need to make sure
01:00:31that you can still compete.
01:00:32They did an MRI
01:00:33and they found it was a grade three severe sprain
01:00:36on his rotator cuff.
01:00:37It's a bad injury.
01:00:41It's a tragedy.
01:00:43And I would like to say
01:00:43from the bottom of my heart,
01:00:45I'm sorry that I didn't end that idiot's career tonight
01:00:49because I could have.
01:00:50Like a man.
01:00:52I am calling my shot Sunday,
01:00:55April 27th,
01:00:57in the great state of California.
01:01:00I'm going to have my win.
01:01:02I will finally become
01:01:04TNA World Champion.
01:01:08Wow, look who's back, baby.
01:01:11All ego, Ethan Page.
01:01:14Turns out,
01:01:15at Rebellion,
01:01:17Joe Hendroup would be defending
01:01:19the TNA World Championship
01:01:20against Frankie Kazarian
01:01:22and all ego,
01:01:23Ethan Page.
01:01:24Unfortunately,
01:01:25the medical team have advised me
01:01:27not to compete.
01:01:28However,
01:01:29I informed the medical team
01:01:31that I will defend
01:01:33the TNA World Championship
01:01:35at Rebellion.
01:01:37You're a literal wounded duck.
01:01:39If you're not at 100%,
01:01:40there's no way you can hang
01:01:42with the king of TNA.
01:01:44These people can believe
01:01:45all they want.
01:01:46And none of those things
01:01:47are going to stop me
01:01:48from winning
01:01:50the TNA World Championship
01:01:52and bringing it back
01:01:54to NXT.
01:01:57And people say
01:01:58they believe in Joe Hendry.
01:02:00Joe Hendry's going to have
01:02:01to believe in Joe Hendry.
01:02:02More than he's ever done
01:02:03in the past.
01:02:04I proved what happens
01:02:06when you listen to the fans
01:02:07and I did it
01:02:09in front of 60,000 people
01:02:11at Wrestle Media.
01:02:13I know in my heart
01:02:14I can keep the momentum
01:02:16going.
01:02:17Rebellion,
01:02:18I will remain
01:02:19TNA World Champion.
01:02:21We are set to cap off
01:02:31this historic triple main event
01:02:33at Rebellion.
01:02:34Let's look at the
01:02:35tale of the tape.
01:02:35Frankie Kazarian is the
01:02:37call-your-shot gauntlet winner.
01:02:38Four out of five
01:02:39previous past winners
01:02:40have gone on to call
01:02:41their shot
01:02:41and become champion.
01:02:43Meanwhile,
01:02:43Ethan Page is getting
01:02:44his first ever
01:02:45TNA World title shot tonight.
01:02:47He's also main eventing
01:02:48his first ever
01:02:49TNA pay-per-view.
01:02:51But for Joe Hendry,
01:02:52yes,
01:02:52the high from Wrestlemania
01:02:54is still there.
01:02:55But with an injured
01:02:56rotator cuff
01:02:57and not having to be
01:02:58involved in the decision,
01:02:59will belief be enough?
01:03:00And there is the man
01:03:13who tonight
01:03:15will officially
01:03:17be calling his shot.
01:03:20The king of TNA himself
01:03:22here
01:03:23with a hometown advantage.
01:03:26Can Frankie Kazarian
01:03:28finally do,
01:03:29finally check off
01:03:30the one thing
01:03:31in TNA
01:03:32in his illustrious
01:03:33TNA career
01:03:35that he has yet
01:03:36to accomplish
01:03:36and win
01:03:38the TNA World Championship.
01:03:40When this match
01:03:41was announced
01:03:42on social media,
01:03:43Frankie Kazarian said,
01:03:44quote,
01:03:45main event world title match
01:03:46in Los Angeles,
01:03:47California,
01:03:48mere miles
01:03:48from where I watched
01:03:49live wrestling
01:03:50growing up

01:03:51at the LA Sports Arena.
01:03:53The king of TNA
01:03:54gets his crowning moment
01:03:56in SoCal.
01:04:00This past Thursday
01:04:17on Impact,
01:04:18mark Ethan Page's
01:04:20first match in TNA wrestling
01:04:22in five years.
01:04:24It was very clear
01:04:25as the decision
01:04:26of that matchup
01:04:27went to Elijah
01:04:28and Joe Hendry.
01:04:29Elijah wasn't concerned
01:04:30about that.
01:04:31He was focused
01:04:32on tonight
01:04:32in the TNA World title.
01:04:35Yeah,
01:04:35Ethan Page
01:04:36wasn't focusing
01:04:37on working well
01:04:39with Frankie Kazarian.
01:04:41He had all eyes
01:04:42on Sunday
01:04:42and much like
01:04:43Frankie Kazarian
01:04:44looking to accomplish
01:04:45a bucket list item.
01:04:47Check it off the list.
01:04:49A TNA World title run.
01:04:51Can he take advantage
01:04:52of an injured champion
01:04:53and make that come true?
01:04:55I believe in Joe Hendry.
01:05:14I believe in Joe Hendry.
01:05:15I believe in Joe Hendry.
01:05:18Joe Hendry's WrestleMania moment
01:05:35marked the first time
01:05:37in 27 years
01:05:39a championship
01:05:40from a non-WWE-owned company
01:05:43was represented
01:05:45at WrestleMania.
01:05:47Think about that.
01:05:48This company dates back
01:05:4923 years.
01:05:51Once upon a time
01:05:52on a boat
01:05:53with Jeff and Jerry.
01:05:54Jerry and Bob Ryder
01:05:55creating the vision
01:05:56for TNA Wrestling.
01:05:57Could they have ever
01:05:58fathomed
01:05:59what we saw
01:06:00last weekend
01:06:00at WrestleMania?
01:06:01I don't think
01:06:02that or anyone
01:06:03ever could.
01:06:04We are in a
01:06:05grade-two world
01:06:07of professional wrestling.
01:06:09And it could be argued
01:06:10that that man
01:06:12right there
01:06:12is at the forefront.
01:06:18The following Triple Threat Matches
01:06:42is for
01:06:43the TNA World Championship.
01:06:50Introducing first
01:06:51the challengers
01:06:53from Yucca Valley, California
01:06:56winning it at 220 pounds
01:07:00Frankie Kazarian.
01:07:04Next
01:07:12from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
01:07:15weighing in at 225 pounds
01:07:19of pure motivation.
01:07:31He is the TNA World Championship.
01:07:36Joe Hendricks.
01:07:38He is the TNA World Champion.
01:07:50Joe Hendricks.
01:07:56That is what it is all about.
01:08:14Climbing to the top
01:08:15of the TNA mountain.
01:08:21The richest prize
01:08:23in TNA wrestling
01:08:24is at stake.
01:08:25Paige, Kazarian
01:08:27and Hendry
01:08:28for the TNA World Title
01:08:30live in Los Angeles
01:08:32at Rebellion.
01:08:34This match is underway.
01:08:35There are no countouts,
01:08:36no disqualifications.
01:08:38First man to get
01:08:38pinfall or submission
01:08:39in the ring
01:08:40is the TNA World Champion.
01:08:43And you have two
01:08:44very hungry,
01:08:45very motivated challengers
01:08:46and an injured champion.
01:08:48That is a dangerous
01:08:49situation for Joe.
01:08:50Completely understand that.
01:08:52In the early going,
01:08:53however,
01:08:53that right arm,
01:08:54shoulder looks good so far.
01:08:56And now Joe Hendry
01:08:57going for the standing ovation
01:08:59early on Kazarian.
01:09:01Kazarian wants the chicken wing.
01:09:02And that will immediately
01:09:03take effect on the arm
01:09:05of Joe Hendry.
01:09:07Now Paige and Kazarian
01:09:09on the outside.
01:09:11Hendry has even
01:09:11Paige to thank for that one
01:09:13for getting out of it.
01:09:14Wait,
01:09:14what is in the mind
01:09:15of Joe Hendry?
01:09:16Joe Hendry
01:09:17Hendry over the top.
01:09:21And that's taking
01:09:22a big risk.
01:09:24Hendry,
01:09:25Hendry's feeling it.
01:09:33Kudos for the bravado.
01:09:37But don't let the heat
01:09:38of the moment
01:09:39take you out
01:09:40of the reality
01:09:40of the situation.
01:09:42Now Hendry
01:09:43back into the fray.
01:09:45That tape
01:09:46may as well
01:09:46be a target.
01:09:48I spoke to Joe Hendry
01:09:50earlier on today
01:09:50why he wasn't
01:09:51sporting that tape
01:09:52at WrestleMania.
01:09:53He said
01:09:53that exact reason.
01:09:55Didn't want to make
01:09:56a bigger opportunity.
01:09:58Didn't want to create
01:09:59a larger target
01:10:00for Randy Orton,
01:10:02the Viper
01:10:03at WrestleMania.
01:10:10As Ethan Page
01:10:11rains down blows
01:10:14on the TNA World Champion.
01:10:17Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:10:18Paige and Hendry
01:10:19battled at NXT
01:10:20No Mercy
01:10:21months ago
01:10:22in Denver, Colorado.
01:10:24Joe Hendry
01:10:25challenging
01:10:25then-NXT Champion
01:10:27Ethan Page
01:10:28for the title.
01:10:29Paige
01:10:29retained that night
01:10:30under controversy
01:10:31off the soplex.
01:10:32Here's the cover.
01:10:33Trying to win the title
01:10:34and a power out
01:10:35by Hendry.
01:10:36That suplex
01:10:37into Frankie Kazarian
01:10:39there who was
01:10:39trying to get
01:10:40in the ring.
01:10:42Oh, back elbow.
01:10:45Think about it.
01:10:45Ethan Page
01:10:46spent three years
01:10:48in this company.
01:10:48We've talked about it.
01:10:49He is one half
01:10:50of the longest
01:10:51TNA World Tag Team
01:10:52Championship
01:10:53playing of all time.
01:10:54Josh Rourke-Sandler
01:10:55and Paige
01:10:55the North.
01:10:57Three years
01:10:57in this company.
01:10:58Never challenged
01:10:59for the TNA World title.
01:11:00Never main-evented
01:11:01a TNA pay-per-view.
01:11:03And here he is
01:11:04getting a chance
01:11:05to right that wrong.
01:11:08And Frankie Kazarian
01:11:09is busted out of table.
01:11:10I mean,
01:11:10no disqualifications
01:11:11and a triple threat.
01:11:13Completely legal.
01:11:14Now Frankie Kazarian
01:11:15trying to win the title.
01:11:17Shoulders pressed down
01:11:18and a kick out.
01:11:19Beautiful move there
01:11:20from Frankie Kazarian
01:11:21that rollover roll-up.
01:11:24Kazarian debuted
01:11:25in this company
01:11:2522 years ago.
01:11:28This is just his sixth
01:11:29ever TNA World title shot.
01:11:32Covered.
01:11:33Trying to pin Paige
01:11:34to win the title
01:11:34and a kick out.
01:11:35Again,
01:11:36that's the thing
01:11:36about both Kazarian
01:11:37and Paige.
01:11:39They've both
01:11:40never had a chance
01:11:41at being world champion.
01:11:43Both very hungry
01:11:45to accomplish that tonight.
01:11:47Now Kazarian
01:11:56trying to control
01:11:57the champion here.
01:11:58Pressing his shoulders down
01:11:59once again.
01:12:00A two count.
01:12:01Hold on a second.
01:12:02Henry got his shoulders
01:12:03off the mat.
01:12:04The bridge.
01:12:05A double cover
01:12:06on a kick out.
01:12:09Frankie Kazarian
01:12:10trying to run
01:12:11double duty there.
01:12:15Frankie Kazarian
01:12:16maybe ought to make
01:12:17a statement here.
01:12:20I mean,
01:12:21in my mind
01:12:21the statement's been made.
01:12:22He's one of the best
01:12:23damn wrestlers
01:12:24on the planet.
01:12:25Going for the chicken wing
01:12:26here on Paige.
01:12:27Paige backing
01:12:28into the turnbuckles.
01:12:29Ethan Paige
01:12:33knows
01:12:33the danger
01:12:34that chicken wing poses.
01:12:37Leaping
01:12:38at Hendry
01:12:39thinking about
01:12:39a guillotine.
01:12:40Paige putting
01:12:41all his body weight
01:12:42into this.
01:12:42Got it locked in.
01:12:44Hendry though
01:12:44staying on his feet.
01:12:47Staying vertical.
01:12:52Can Belief
01:12:53keep him
01:12:55from tapping out?
01:12:56Apparently yes!
01:12:58Oh,

01:13:02The suplex!
01:13:03Paige and Hendry
01:13:04are down.

01:13:18Kaz thought he had

01:13:22Doing a great job
01:13:24of fighting off
01:13:24two men at once
01:13:25here.
01:13:27And think about
01:13:28this Frankie
01:13:28Kazarian

01:13:30pressure on him
01:13:31in his hometown

01:13:51Close line up

01:14:00What's it going to take
01:14:02to win the big one
01:14:04for someone who's

01:14:07Ethan Page
01:14:08putting all that
01:14:09pressure on himself
01:14:10but this man
01:14:11runs on pressure.
01:14:12You and I have
01:14:13talked about it
01:14:13a number of times.
01:14:14Who will be the

01:14:18to win a championship
01:14:19from the other

01:14:28cross the line.
01:14:30That's for damn
01:14:30sure.
01:14:32It's now Hendry.
01:14:36Hendry picking up
01:14:37Paige here
01:14:37on the top rope.
01:14:38Hendry trying

01:14:45and there's
01:14:45Frankie Kazarian
01:14:46to shut down
01:14:47the champion.
01:14:49Have to imagine
01:14:50that shoulder
01:14:50continuing to
01:14:51give him trouble.
01:14:52Wait a second.
01:14:52Oh,

01:15:26Oh,
01:15:26Kazarian gets
01:15:27the left shoulder
01:15:27up in time.
01:15:29But the strength
01:15:30of Henry,
01:15:31the strength
01:15:31of Hendry here
01:15:32basically throwing

01:15:37Superflex combo
01:15:38from the champion.

01:16:00Now,
01:16:00bringing the fight
01:16:01to the outside
01:16:01here.
01:16:02You see that table
01:16:02that Frankie Kazarian
01:16:03brought out earlier.
01:16:04still lying in wait,
01:16:06if you will.
01:16:09Kazarian,
01:16:10oh my god,

01:16:21and now
01:16:22a draping

01:16:30Kaz could be
01:16:31out of the equation
01:16:32though.
01:16:32This is a huge
01:16:33moment
01:16:33for Ethan
