00:00:00We are live from the Galen Center on the campus of USC in Los Angeles, California.
00:00:12Every goal, every dream we have is bigger than the last.
00:00:17This is TNA Wrestling.
00:00:19This is Rebellion.
00:00:21Tessa Blanchard has done a great job of doing what very few have ever done, and that is play psychological warfare with Masha Slamovic.
00:00:31Masha Slamovic doing her best to put emotions to the side and focus on the task at hand.
00:00:37Slamovic firing off the first salvo.
00:00:45This is Blanchard's test to Slamovic.
00:00:49The Nemets visited the Hardy compound, and they absconded with the TNA World Tag Team titles.
00:00:57The Hardys are here to reclaim the TNA World Tag Team title belt.

00:16:34santana wins
00:16:44an emphatic emphatic statement by mike santana and it looks like he ain't done it
00:16:51hey yo
00:16:56Where are all my people from Latin California?
00:17:07No, no, no.
00:17:09Where are all my people from?
00:17:13Last Sunday, I climbed the mountain and I closed the chair of Mustafa Ali into Order 4.
00:17:32But if there's one thing my father taught me, the top of one mountain is the bottom of another.
00:17:42So that brings me to one man, Joe Hendry.
00:17:52Yo, Joe, I'm going to give props where they do.
00:17:57I'm going to give you your respect because you've done a hell of a paring the fort.
00:18:04But you got something that I want.
00:18:08You got something I need.
00:18:11So from here on out, I climbed the mountain to become TNA World Champion.
00:18:20But don't fall, fall from the tree.
00:18:29So on his path, the purpose is the TNA World Championship.
00:18:34We heard from Joe Hendry earlier on tonight.
00:18:36We heard from Trick Williams earlier on tonight.
00:18:38The bullseye on the back of Joe Hendry is enormous right now.
00:18:42That's what you, if you want to be at the top of the mountain, you got to be ready for everybody that's climbing up behind you.
00:18:51So we are going to hear from the TNA International Champion, Steve Macklin, considering the fallout from his title defense against Eric Young at Rebellion.
00:19:00All about a fight here in TNA Wrestling.
00:19:02And speaking of which, we want to give a shout out to our friends within Anthem Sports and Entertainment, Invicta FC.
00:19:08Two weeks from tomorrow, Friday, May 16th in Kansas City, live at 8 p.m. Eastern on CBS Sports Network.
00:19:16Don't miss Invicta FC 62.
00:19:19You can get your tickets now via Ticketmaster.com.
00:19:23Now, I was mentioning Steve Macklin a moment ago.
00:19:25Right now, I want to take you back to the aftermath of his TNA International Championship defense this past weekend, live at Rebellion.
00:19:35And it was after that match.
00:19:39The TNA International Champion!
00:19:43Oh, and now after the matchup, Icarus and Williams swarming the ring and using steel chains, Young cracked Macklin.
00:19:52Young has no intention of letting Macklin have his moment here tonight.
00:19:57That Rebellion, oh my God!
00:19:59Wrapping that steel chain around the neck.
00:20:04Now the Northern Army.
00:20:06Trying to restrain Macklin, that steel chain around the throat of Steve Macklin.
00:20:13Please welcome the TNA International Champion, Bulletproof, Steve Macklin!
00:20:37A victory!
00:20:39Not as sweet as imagined for Steve Macklin.
00:20:43Thought for a moment that perhaps Eric Young and the Northern Armory were behind him and went!
00:20:49Land him out!
00:20:50Land him out!
00:20:51Behind him!
00:20:52Judas Icarus with a steel chain!
00:20:54There's Travis Williams!
00:20:55The Northern Armory is here!
00:20:57A tear!
00:20:58Not even a moment to address what happened at Rebellion!
00:21:02And the Northern Armory strike!
00:21:03And there's Eric Young himself!
00:21:05The leader of the Northern Armory!
00:21:07And now Eric Young!
00:21:08That steel chain wrapped around the throat of Macklin!
00:21:11The same chain they tried to hang Macklin from at Rebellion!
00:21:17Now just beating him!
00:21:19Oh my God!
00:21:20Eric Young, bitter that he didn't win the TNA International Championship, but also that Steve Macklin has refused to join the Northern Armory!
00:21:30For months, Young had tried to appeal to Macklin, appeal to his friend to join him!
00:21:42To not run it alone!
00:21:44Macklin refused and now he is paying every single bit of it!
00:21:48Oh, now Macklin fighting back against Williams!
00:21:51Amongst Icarus!
00:21:53And Young catching up to Macklin!
00:21:55The numbers just too much for Macklin!
00:21:58The numbers and the chain, Tom!
00:22:00The chain being that huge equalizer!
00:22:02Squeezing the life out of Macklin!
00:22:11The eagle of Eric Young is out of control!
00:22:22Trying to do a little repeat history here, perhaps!
00:22:28Oh, not this again!
00:22:30Deja Vu from Rebellion!
00:22:33The Northern Armory incapacitating Steve Macklin with that steel chain!
00:22:41Tying him up in the ropes with the chain, nowhere for Macklin to go!
00:22:47And now Security diving into the ring, trying to free Steve Macklin from the Northern Armory!
00:22:53Get out of control!
00:22:54Get out of control!
00:22:55Get out of control!
00:22:56Get out of control!

00:23:19Get out of control!
00:23:20Get out of control!
00:23:21Get out of control!
00:23:22Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to check on the status of Steve Macklin.
00:23:27Try and gain some control here in the impact zone after the actions of the Northern Armory.
00:23:32We'll be right back here on TNA Impact.
00:23:41That's not fine.
00:23:44What were you thinking right now?
00:23:47You just attacked someone with a chain.
00:23:49Yes, I do whatever I want.
00:23:53Or maybe this is your opportunity to do something about it right now.
00:23:57Maybe I will.
00:23:57Oh, maybe you will.
00:24:00Come here, come here, come here.
00:24:03Get this guy out of here.
00:24:05Bull crap.
00:24:06You hit this.
00:24:09You want to jump him? You want a piece?
00:24:11I'll tell you what, you guys are going to have a chance to do it again next week.
00:24:15Okay, next week.
00:24:16Good, good.
00:24:16I'll save you, punk.
00:24:18This is the last.
00:24:19This is the last.
00:24:22Well, chaos aside, it seems like Eric Young got exactly what he wanted.
00:24:26Another shot at Steve Macklin.
00:24:28Well, right now, we turn our attention from the TNA International Championship picture to the TNA X Division Championship picture.
00:24:34Especially coming off of Rebellion and Ultimate X.
00:24:37Plenty of controversy there.
00:24:39I want to take you back to this past Sunday.
00:24:40It was Leon Slater.
00:24:42It looked like he was going to win the X Division title and become the youngest X Division champion of all time.
00:24:47He'd unhook the title belt.
00:24:48He had to get down to the canvas with both feet touching the mat.
00:24:51He had possession of the belt, but was speared by Moose.
00:24:54Ultimately, the referee awarded the match to Moose.
00:24:57And let's roll this back a little bit.
00:24:59Look how very close.
00:25:00We are talking milliseconds of time here.
00:25:04Inches, centimeters.
00:25:05Leon drops the belt you see there.
00:25:08Back it up a little bit more again here.
00:25:09Just watch this.
00:25:10Literally, instantaneously, it is so close to call.
00:25:16Either way, we saw the result.
00:25:19Moose held on to the X Division title.
00:25:20Ultimately, the referee's decision was final this past weekend at Rebellion.
00:25:24The championship was awarded to Moose.
00:25:27But that has led us to what is on tap tonight.
00:25:29Moose is set to defend his X Division championship against Zachary Wentz of the Rascals.
00:25:34Again, Moose retained in Ultimate X this past weekend.
00:25:38Wentz pinned Moose later that night at Rebellion.
00:25:40Moose had to pull double duty.
00:25:42That was in a tag team match.
00:25:43This is Zachary Wentz's contractual rematch that he's been owed ever since Victory Road back in September.
00:25:50It's Moose and Wentz for the X Division title live on Impact.
00:26:10Following contest is scheduled for one call and is for the TNA X Division championship.
00:26:23Introducing first the challenger.
00:26:26Accompanied to the ring by Trey McGill.
00:26:29Representing the Rascals.
00:26:32Zachary Wentz.
00:26:33The Jinn's looking for the 1-2-3 after, well, WWE's Sean Waltham was in his corner this past weekend at Rebellion for a six-man tag team match.
00:26:42It was the system up against the Rascals and Ace Austin after an appropriate X-Factor and a UFO cutter.
00:26:50Wentz pinned Moose in Moose's second match of the night.
00:26:53I mean, look, the man was pulling double duty.
00:26:55He's defending his championship one moment, backing up the system the next.
00:26:59I can't blame him.
00:27:00But either way, it ends up right here in the Impact Zone.
00:27:04The title's on the line again.
00:27:05Can Zachary Wentz reclaim the X Division title?
00:27:09The title's on the line again.
00:27:39And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Alicia Edwards, weighing in at 330 pounds, representing the system.
00:27:52He is the TNA X Division champion.
00:27:58Woohoo!
00:28:00There have been a lot of TNA fans that have been sounding off on social media.
00:28:04And, hell, we've seen it right here in the arena on the campus of UC Irvine.
00:28:08Fans that believe that Leon Slater is the rightful X Division champion.
00:28:14Well, I got a question for those people.
00:28:17Who is the man on the ramp right now?
00:28:18Who is the man on your screen right now with the X Division title wrapped around his waist?
00:28:24Is that Leon Slater?
00:28:26Hell no.
00:28:27That is the face of the franchise.
00:28:30That is Moose.
00:28:31Like it or not.
00:28:33175 days and counting as the X Division champion.
00:28:38And now has to deal with Zachary Wentz in his way.
00:28:41Zachary Wentz, who, if you remember, it was an emergence in 2024 back in August.
00:28:47He won, ironically, Ultimate X to capture the X Division championship.
00:28:51Zachary Wentz became the first ever TNA wrestler to represent the X Division title on WWE television at NXT No Mercy in September.
00:29:03And then, roughly a week later, it was Wentz who lost the X Division title to speedball Mike Bailey at Victory Road in one of the best matches you and I have ever seen.
00:29:14I encourage you to relive it now on demand on TNA+.
00:29:17That is what the X Division is all about.
00:29:20We've said it before.
00:29:21We'll say it again.
00:29:22Not weight limits.
00:29:23No limits.
00:29:24Both guys in this match put that to the test in their own way.
00:29:30Moose, the powerhouse head of the X Division currently standing atop the mountain.
00:29:38But can Wentz redefine the division once again?
00:29:42Boot right to the face there by Wentz.
00:29:45Is it time for Wentz to go to hell?
00:29:47Oh, no!
00:29:48Countered it!
00:29:51Now Wentz taking the big man off his feet.
00:29:53Double dropkick right to the ribs.
00:29:57Wentz bringing out the speed and agility to try to counter the power of Moose.
00:30:01But do not count the pace of the franchise out when it comes to speed.
00:30:06Wentz trying to collect himself in the top row.
00:30:08Metz a dropkick and there goes Moose.
00:30:11The title can only change hands via pinball or submission in the ring.
00:30:15Not via countout or disqualification.
00:30:18Wentz taking the...
00:30:19Do the sky twisting to the outside.
00:30:22Zachary Wentz getting his contractually own rematch here against Moose.
00:30:31The X Division title is on the line live.
00:30:34The X Division title is on the line tonight live on Impact in the greater Los Angeles area on the campus of UC Irvine.
00:30:49And right now it is Moose having his way with Zachary Wentz of the Rascals.
00:30:54And remember, it was Wentz who sustained a rib injury two weeks ago and unbreakable.
00:30:59The hands of the system, it's been exacerbated tonight.
00:31:02And they were right there earlier in this matchup.
00:31:05Sent careening to the apron on the floor.
00:31:08Bouncing the ribs.
00:31:10That whole midsection, the core, absolutely rattled.
00:31:15Now Wentz with a small joint manipulation.
00:31:18Moose is just too big and strong.
00:31:20And let me ask you this.
00:31:21Do you think Moose gives a damn about the controversy stemming from Ultimate X at Rebellion and Leon Slater?
00:31:27No!
00:31:27What did I tell you at the beginning of the match?
00:31:29Who walked out here with the X Division title?
00:31:31That's all Moose cares about.
00:31:34And now Wentz charges at Moose.
00:31:36Leon Slater will be in action later on tonight against Casey Navarro of First Class.
00:31:41How will Slater rebound from Ultimate X?
00:31:44Ooh!
00:31:45Right now Wentz is doing a good job of rebounding in this matchup.
00:31:49Coming live here in the fourth quarter.
00:31:53Wentz getting his contractually owed rematch all the way back in September at Victory Road.
00:31:58Got sidetracked with his rivalry with NXT's Wes Lee, his former brother within the Rascals.
00:32:05Look at Moose!
00:32:05Moose off to the outside!
00:32:07Let's take another look at this as Wentz goes flying!
00:32:20Taking down the X Division champion on the outside!
00:32:24Butchering through the pain with injured ribs!
00:32:27Back inside!
00:32:28All the way to the flattened Moose!
00:32:30Trying to win the X Division title!
00:32:32And a kick out!
00:32:33Another twisting cross body there from Wentz.
00:32:38Still not enough, though, to put the champion away.
00:32:42Wentz celebrating a birthday earlier on this week.
00:32:45And at Rebellion last weekend, he had his childhood hero.
00:32:48The two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Sean Waltman, in his corner.
00:32:52As he tagged with two of his best friends.
00:32:54Can he cap off this week for the X Division title?
00:32:58Trying to cut him down here.
00:32:59Go!
00:33:00Got it, do it!
00:33:01Pop-up powerbomb!
00:33:04Cover!
00:33:04Somehow, Reigns kicked out!
00:33:08And the X Division champion cannot believe it!
00:33:13Take another look at this!
00:33:15All the way up, all the way down!
00:33:18A vicious pop-up powerbomb!
00:33:21But somehow, Reigns is still alive!
00:33:24But for how much longer?
00:33:27In the crosshairs!
00:33:29Oh, he's going for the spear!
00:33:31Hold on a second!
00:33:32Shoulders down!
00:33:33Wentz nearly pinned him!
00:33:36Second way, looking for another Uranagi!
00:33:38No!
00:33:38Oh!
00:33:39Now we've got the shoulders down!
00:33:40Oh, Moose!
00:33:41Moose is still in it!
00:33:43Pump kick!
00:33:44And now Moose, lining up here!
00:33:49Going all the way up!
00:33:50Oh!
00:33:50And a crossbody!
00:33:52From the near 300-pounder!
00:33:53And a kickoff!
00:33:55Walk out!
00:33:56He's not done yet!
00:33:59Oh!
00:34:00Are you kidding me?
00:34:01Are you kidding me?
00:34:01Where are you kidding me?
00:34:02We're going to have a new champion!
00:34:03Oh!
00:34:03And a kickoff!
00:34:07Holy hell!
00:34:13Take another look at this!
00:34:15Oh, my God!
00:34:17Moose coming off the top!
00:34:19The heavyweight flyer!
00:34:21Thought he had this all locked up!
00:34:23But Wentz pulled another trick out of his sleeve here!
00:34:26Coming into this code red out of nowhere!
00:34:302.9!
00:34:31And not done yet!
00:34:33Can Wentz capture his second exhibition title!
00:34:44Sent face first into the middle turnbuckle by the champion, Moose!
00:34:49Moose, a handful of tights there!
00:34:50Anything he can do!
00:34:52Looking to put it away!
00:34:53Oh!
00:34:53Another X-Factor!
00:34:55Oh, no!
00:34:56Wakes his counter for Rebellion!
00:34:58That led to his pinfall win against Moose!
00:35:01Could this be history repeated?
00:35:04Going for the spiral tap!
00:35:06He got him!
00:35:07Do we have a new champion?
00:35:09Oh, Moose kicked out!
00:35:11The heartbreak etched onto the face of Zachary Wentz!
00:35:20What a matchup!
00:35:24This is what happens when TNA Impact is live!
00:35:28Moose!
00:35:30Moose, though, living up to the name, the face of the franchise!
00:35:33Can he put it away here, though, Wentz?
00:35:35I was thinking about the UFO cutter!
00:35:36Moose able to power through!
00:35:38Way on this!
00:35:38Alicia Edwards with a system on the outside!
00:35:41Slow it up, Wentz!
00:35:42And a colossal spear by Moose!
00:35:45Say goodnight to your X-Division dreams!
00:35:52Here is your winner and still, the TNA X-Division Champions, Moose!
00:36:04What a match!
00:36:05Absolutely incredible!
00:36:08Take nothing away from Zachary Wentz, but Alicia Edwards, proven why the system continues to work in every single form!
00:36:19The controversy remains from Ultimate X!
00:36:22Does Leon Slater have a legitimate gripe when it comes to the X-Division title?
00:36:27Right now, Moose remains your champion, but still to come tonight, the TNA World Champion, Joe Hendry,
00:36:33teams up with the Hardys to face Frankie Kazarian and the new TNA World Tag Team Champions, the Nemets!
00:36:40And not only that, after the conclusion of the Knockouts Tag Team Title Match at Rebellion,
00:36:44Jody Threat gets her hands on Maggie Lee!
00:36:48Meanwhile, earlier on today, Cody Diener requested this time on the last day of his contract to address the people!
00:36:54We'll hear from Cody Diener next!
00:36:56This injury report is presented by BioFlex, the exclusive recovery partner of TNA Wrestling.
00:37:07Following his TNA World Championship defense at Rebellion, Joe Hendry's right shoulder remains less than 100%.
00:37:14Hendry has been battling a rotator cuff injury and continues to work through the issue under medical supervision.
00:37:20Despite the ongoing obstacles with his recovery, most recently, the attack by Dark State on NXT,
00:37:27Hendry has been medically cleared for competition.
00:37:30Following his jaw-dropping dive off the top of Ultimate X at Rebellion,
00:37:35Leon Slater was evaluated backstage that night in Los Angeles.
00:37:39Slater showed no signs of serious injury and has been cleared for action.
00:37:43After a brutal false count anywhere match against Mike Santana,
00:37:46Mustafa Ali is recovering from multiple bumps and bruises.
00:37:50Ali did not suffer any major injuries, but is said to be, quote,
00:37:54sore and banged up.
00:37:55He is expected to continue competing without missing ring time.
00:37:59During the false count anywhere match, however,
00:38:01Tasha Steele suffered an upper body injury after being put through a table by Mike Santana.
00:38:06At this time, precautionary measures are being taken and Steele is not medically cleared for action this week.
00:38:13This TNA injury report is presented by BioFlex.
00:38:20Well, tonight, as part of TNA Wrestling's partnership with BioFlex,
00:38:25we are unveiling the TNA BioFlex Recovery Room.
00:38:29What you are seeing is a unique infrared technology that promotes quicker healing
00:38:33and recovery time for all of TNA athletes to return to in-ring action.
00:38:38Again, we appreciate our partners at BioFlex for the recovery room here at TNA Impact.
00:38:50Gentlemen, I'm outside the locker room of Mustafa Ali, hoping...
00:38:57Excuse me, Mustafa, you have a big match with Trey Miguel next week.
00:39:01How are you feeling?
00:39:07What's going on? Is he okay?
00:39:08Well, normally this is Mrs. Steele's job, but she's in the hospital.
00:39:13So allow for me to speak on behalf of the Ali administration.
00:39:18Mr. Ali hasn't been the same since rebellion.
00:39:21And nobody knows what that man's capable of.
00:39:25You see, in order to create something great,
00:39:28sometimes you have to destroy everything.
00:39:31That's exactly what he's going to do.
00:39:38The people have spoken.
00:39:43Mustafa Ali looked apoplectic, but is he more dangerous than ever?
00:39:50Please welcome Cody Diener.
00:39:55Ladies and gentlemen, earlier on today,
00:39:57Cody Diener took to social media to say,
00:39:59quote, today, May 1st, as of midnight tonight,
00:40:02my contract with TNA Wrestling runs out.
00:40:05Hopefully tonight, live on Impact,
00:40:06I have a chance to talk to the people.
00:40:09We want to sincerely thank Cody Diener for all his contributions.
00:40:15Today is May 1st,
00:40:16and tonight,
00:40:19at midnight,
00:40:22my contract
00:40:23with TNA Wrestling
00:40:24is set to expire.
00:40:30But I want to thank
00:40:31Santino Morella
00:40:33for giving me this opportunity
00:40:34to come out here
00:40:35and speak to you people
00:40:36from the heart,
00:40:38possibly for one last time.
00:40:44The reason I haven't been able
00:40:46to secure a contract
00:40:47is because
00:40:48I haven't been able
00:40:50to win a match
00:40:51in over a year.
00:40:53but I've learned
00:40:58that winning
00:41:00isn't always about
00:41:02pinfalls
00:41:02and submissions
00:41:03in a wrestling ring.
00:41:05For example,
00:41:07I grew up
00:41:10in a small town
00:41:11in the middle of nowhere
00:41:13with a population
00:41:14of less than 200 people,
00:41:16and since the age of five,
00:41:18I've wanted nothing more
00:41:19than to be
00:41:20a professional wrestler.
00:41:26And everyone told me
00:41:28that it was impossible.
00:41:29They laughed in my face
00:41:30when I shared their dream.
00:41:32When I shared my dream,
00:41:33they laughed at me.
00:41:34But I can stand here
00:41:36after a 25-year
00:41:38wrestling career
00:41:39and say
00:41:40that I am a proud
00:41:43professional wrestler.
00:41:45I'm not just
00:41:53a proud
00:41:53professional wrestler,
00:41:55I'm also
00:41:57a proud husband
00:41:58to an amazing wife
00:42:01who's been so supportive,
00:42:03so supportive,
00:42:03so supportive,
00:42:04so supportive.
00:42:05I'm also
00:42:06a proud father
00:42:09to four
00:42:11amazing children.
00:42:31That's someone else's gimmick,
00:42:33but you're right,
00:42:33I do got kids.
00:42:34You know,
00:42:38I've been told
00:42:38that I was too small,
00:42:41I was too skinny,
00:42:42I wasn't big enough
00:42:43or strong enough,
00:42:44and no one wanted
00:42:45to give me a chance,
00:42:47but there was one company
00:42:48that did give me a chance,
00:42:50and that's the company
00:42:51with three letters
00:42:52underneath my feet
00:42:54right now,
00:42:55and that is
00:42:58T-N-A.
00:43:01So if this is
00:43:15my last time
00:43:16in a T-N-A ring,
00:43:18I want everyone
00:43:19to know
00:43:20that if I lose
00:43:23my contract
00:43:24tonight,
00:43:24I don't feel
00:43:25like a loser
00:43:26because of
00:43:28all you people
00:43:29I feel
00:43:32like a winner.

00:47:55Good luck.
00:48:05Wait, well,
00:48:05how is this
00:48:06even happening?
00:48:07Robert Stone
00:48:08doesn't even
00:48:08work for this
00:48:09company.
00:48:10Apparently he
00:48:12got to the
00:48:12right people
00:48:13because he
00:48:14has Santino
00:48:15under review
00:48:16and under
00:48:17Lockett
00:48:17key,
00:48:18it seems.
00:48:19And Victoria
00:48:19Crawford
00:48:20has a title
00:48:21match
00:48:22out of nowhere?
00:48:24The hell
00:48:25is going on?
00:48:27Well,
00:48:28ladies and
00:48:28gentlemen,
00:48:29we continue

00:48:35in our main event
00:48:35where we heard
00:48:36from Trick Williams
00:48:37earlier on tonight
00:48:38said it's an
00:48:38opportunity to get
00:48:39hurt.
00:48:39And we'll hear
00:48:40from our newest
00:48:41TNA knockout
00:48:42Indy Hartwell

00:48:45And speaking of
00:48:46knockouts,
00:48:46some fallout
00:48:47from the
00:48:47Knockouts
00:48:48world title
00:48:48match at
00:48:49Repellion
00:48:50this past
00:48:50weekend.
00:48:51Jody
00:48:51Threat
00:48:52faces
00:48:52Maggie Lee
00:48:53next
00:48:53live.
00:48:54What I can't
00:48:55You're
00:48:58playing
00:48:58in your
00:48:59job.
00:48:59Don't listen
00:49:00to any of
00:49:00them.
00:49:01No,
00:49:01it's not
00:49:02Are you
00:49:02coming at me
00:49:03like this?
00:49:03Relax.
00:49:04Where do you
00:49:04come off
00:49:05coming at me
00:49:05like this?
00:49:06Me?
00:49:06I'm trying to
00:49:07make TNA a
00:49:07better place.
00:49:08I'm going over
00:49:08my head.
00:49:09That's
00:49:09exactly
00:49:10Who did you
00:49:10back to?
00:49:10Who did I
00:49:11still worry
00:49:11about?
00:49:12Under review?
00:49:12Yeah.
00:49:13Me under
00:49:13under review.
00:49:14Dino,
00:49:15this is an
00:49:15absolute joke
00:49:16and you're
00:49:17the punchline.
00:49:18You have
00:49:18turned this
00:49:19place into a
00:49:19second-rate
00:49:20dramedy club.
00:49:22You had your
00:49:23opportunity to
00:49:23lead and you
00:49:24blew it.
00:49:25So maybe it is
00:49:26time for someone
00:49:27like Robert Stone
00:49:28to come in and
00:49:29clean up the mess
00:49:30that you made.
00:49:32Somebody that
00:49:32understands that
00:49:34there's a
00:49:34hierarchy to
00:49:35women's wrestling
00:49:36that there's
00:49:37Tessa Blanchard
00:49:38and then there's
00:49:39everybody else.
00:49:41Someone that
00:49:42understands the
00:49:44difference between
00:49:44keeping people
00:49:45happy and keeping
00:49:46this place
00:49:47undeniable.
00:49:49And if you
00:49:50can't stomach
00:49:50that, then
00:49:53step aside.
00:49:57You know
00:49:57what, Tessa,
00:49:58I think me and
00:50:00you should take
00:50:01a walk.
00:50:03After you.
00:50:05Me.
00:50:05Son of
00:50:11my God.
00:50:15Well, like it
00:50:16or not,
00:50:16apparently the
00:50:17management style
00:50:17of Robert Stone
00:50:18already has
00:50:19the fans.
00:50:20Management style?
00:50:21Robert Stone
00:50:22works for WWE.
00:50:23I don't know how
00:50:24he somehow is a
00:50:25part of the
00:50:25anthem board.
00:50:26Victoria Crawford
00:50:27is a knockout
00:50:27world title shot
00:50:28at under siege.
00:50:29Listen, I use a
00:50:30little more insight
00:50:31on this.
00:50:31And thankfully,
00:50:32at ringside
00:50:33tonight, joining
00:50:33us here live in
00:50:34the greater Los
00:50:35Angeles area is
00:50:36the great Chris
00:50:37Van Vliet, the
00:50:38host of Insight.
00:50:40You can get it
00:50:40anywhere you get
00:50:41your podcast.
00:50:42Over 660,000 YouTube
00:50:44followers.
00:50:44And, oh, by the
00:50:45way, coming up this
00:50:46Thursday, his guest
00:50:47is going to be
00:50:48Indy Hartwell, the
00:50:49newest knockout
00:50:50sign to TNA
00:50:51Wrestling.
00:50:52You know, he told
00:50:53me I'm his favorite
00:50:55broadcaster he's ever
00:50:56had on the show.
00:50:57We're going to hear
00:50:57from Indy Hartwell
00:50:58later on tonight.
00:50:59That's what you
00:50:59should have said.
00:51:00Oh, I did.
00:51:01Following contest
00:51:02is scheduled for
00:51:03one fall.
00:51:04Introducing first,
00:51:05from Cedar Rapids,
00:51:07Iowa, Maggie
00:51:09Blaine.
00:51:10Some broadcaster
00:51:11you are.
00:51:12See how you
00:51:12broadcast this.
00:51:13This past weekend
00:51:14live at Rebellion
00:51:15right here in Los
00:51:16Angeles.
00:51:16Maggie Lee got
00:51:17involved in the
00:51:18four-way matchup
00:51:19for the Knockouts
00:51:20World Tag Team
00:51:20title.
00:51:21She's been taken
00:51:22under the wing
00:51:23of the Elegance
00:51:23brand.
00:51:24Ultimately, the
00:51:25involvement of
00:51:25Maggie Lee helped
00:51:27Ash and Heather
00:51:27by Elegance
00:51:28retain their titles.
00:51:30I mean, I can't
00:51:31blame Maggie Lee.
00:51:32You come into a
00:51:32place like TNA,
00:51:33you see where the
00:51:34bread is buttered
00:51:35and the bread is
00:51:36Elegance.
00:51:42And her opponent,
00:51:44accompanied to the
00:51:45ring by Danny
00:51:46Luna, representing
00:51:48Spitfire, Jody
00:51:51Threat.
00:51:52The wild child,
00:51:55Jody Threat, is
00:51:56walking into
00:51:57Impact tonight
00:51:58live.
00:51:59She's not
00:51:59walking anywhere.
00:52:00Running into
00:52:01Impact.
00:52:02And you can
00:52:02imagine the
00:52:03frustration for
00:52:03Spitfire because
00:52:04Rebellion marked
00:52:05their contractual
00:52:06rematch for the
00:52:07Knockouts World Tag
00:52:08Team title stemming
00:52:09from sacrifice.
00:52:11A lot of teams
00:52:11would like that that
00:52:12came in a four-way
00:52:13matchup.
00:52:14I haven't heard
00:52:14word one about
00:52:15that from Jody
00:52:16and Danny.
00:52:17They're all about
00:52:18moving forward.
00:52:19They're also not
00:52:20Knockouts World
00:52:21Tag Team champions.
00:52:22Squeaky Wheel gets
00:52:23the grease.
00:52:24That's what Maggie
00:52:25Lee did.
00:52:26She got the right
00:52:27attention from the
00:52:27right people.
00:52:28That being the
00:52:29Elegance brand.
00:52:30So here we go.
00:52:32Maggie Lee one-on-one
00:52:34with Jody Threat
00:52:35ready for Knockouts
00:52:36action.
00:52:37Great history of
00:52:38women's wrestling
00:52:39right here in TNA.
00:52:40And with that,
00:52:41I want to take a
00:52:41moment to send a
00:52:42special congratulations
00:52:43to a legend in her
00:52:45own right, Manko
00:52:46Satomura.
00:52:47Earlier on this
00:52:48week, officially
00:52:49retired from
00:52:49professional wrestling
00:52:50after three decades
00:52:52wrestling at the
00:52:52highest level.
00:52:53Congratulations to
00:52:54Manko Satomura
00:52:55on a brilliant
00:52:56career.
00:52:56No doubt about
00:52:57it, inspired
00:52:58generations of
00:53:00wrestlers to come
00:53:00after her.
00:53:01A legacy that
00:53:02cannot be taken
00:53:03away by anyone.
00:53:05As I mentioned
00:53:05moments ago,
00:53:07Indy Hartwell,
00:53:08the newest signing
00:53:09to the Knockouts
00:53:10division will be
00:53:11live for the first
00:53:12time ever on
00:53:13Impact later on
00:53:14tonight.
00:53:15And I think you
00:53:16know, just moments
00:53:17ago here on
00:53:18Impact, I can't
00:53:19believe this.
00:53:20Three weeks from
00:53:21tomorrow, Friday,
00:53:22May 23rd, in the
00:53:23greater Toronto area,
00:53:25Brampton, Ontario,
00:53:26at under siege,
00:53:28Victoria Crawford,
00:53:30the new deputy
00:53:31director of
00:53:32authority, has a
00:53:33Knockouts world
00:53:34title shot against
00:53:35Masha Slamovich.
00:53:37I don't know how
00:53:38it happened, Tom,
00:53:40but I'm excited to
00:53:41see it, to your
00:53:42point.
00:53:43I don't know where
00:53:43Robert Stone met,
00:53:44who we talked to,
00:53:46but he is obviously
00:53:47very, very persuasive.
00:53:49I still can't wrap
00:53:50my head around how
00:53:51all this has transpired,
00:53:52and the same thing
00:53:53with Santina Morella.
00:53:54Ariana Grace as well.
00:53:56Great cover here.
00:53:57Seated sense on
00:53:58Maggie Lee, able to
00:53:59kick out.
00:54:00That's your problem.
00:54:00Don't you think too
00:54:01much.
00:54:02Just enjoy the ride.
00:54:03Sorry about that.
00:54:04Just enjoy the ride,
00:54:04right?
00:54:05Don't always be such a
00:54:06critic.
00:54:07And now, Maggie Lee,
00:54:09going to hold on here,
00:54:11back elbow.
00:54:14What do you think about
00:54:14Maggie Lee's association
00:54:15with the elegance
00:54:16play?
00:54:18You know how I'm
00:54:19going to answer that,
00:54:20right?
00:54:20I think it's brilliant.
00:54:22It's a smart move.
00:54:23Again, that's the chance.
00:54:25To the left,
00:54:25kick out by the wild child.
00:54:27The champions,
00:54:28that's, you want to go
00:54:29to the top of the division.
00:54:30And the division is being
00:54:32run by the elegance brand.
00:54:34She can even get a sniff
00:54:36of that kind of aura.
00:54:38She's in the right place.
00:54:39Doesn't it feel like
00:54:40selling out a little bit,
00:54:42joining the elegance brand?
00:54:43And if that's selling out
00:54:44by me all day,
00:54:46every day,
00:54:47twice on Friday.
00:54:48You've been bought
00:54:48and paid for it
00:54:49by so many of the stars
00:54:50here at TNA.
00:54:51Oh my God.
00:54:52And it's worth it.
00:54:54Bomb kick right to the head.
00:54:57Maggie Lee does have
00:54:58a great deal of potential.
00:54:59Here's the cover.
00:55:00Shoulders down
00:55:01and a kick out
00:55:02by Threat.
00:55:04Maggie Lee doing
00:55:05a great job though
00:55:06here holding her own
00:55:07with the wild child.
00:55:09A former
00:55:10knockout tag team champion
00:55:12and her own right here.
00:55:13in TNA.
00:55:14Two-time knockouts
00:55:15full-time team champion.
00:55:16Conspicuous by their absence
00:55:18is the rest of the
00:55:19elegance brand.
00:55:20They're watching.
00:55:21They don't want to be out
00:55:23here with all these people.
00:55:24These Californians?
00:55:25I don't even want to be out here.
00:55:28It's better than being
00:55:29from Illinois.
00:55:30Wow.
00:55:31Knees right to the spine.
00:55:32Bow and arrow
00:55:33here by Maggie Lee.
00:55:35Trying to defend
00:55:37Cody Press.
00:55:38Wait a second.
00:55:39Right into the cover.
00:55:40Kick-ass.
00:55:40Great guy there
00:55:41from Greg.
00:55:42Good doubt about that.
00:55:43Imagine what an upset
00:55:45it would be though
00:55:45if Maggie Lee
00:55:46relatively new here
00:55:47on the scene here
00:55:48could pin
00:55:49Jodie Threat
00:55:51right in the middle of the ring.
00:55:52That would short
00:55:53get the attention
00:55:54of the elegance brand.
00:55:59Jodie Threat
00:56:00is wearing down
00:56:01Maggie Lee.
00:56:04Move right to the midsection
00:56:06and a pump kick
00:56:06to the hand.
00:56:07Maggie Lee's in trouble.
00:56:08Oh, right in the spine.
00:56:13Classic Jodie Threat
00:56:15now the Charming Suplex.
00:56:19The threat is coming
00:56:20unglued here
00:56:21turning this match
00:56:22around on its head.
00:56:24Spitfire
00:56:25looking for a little
00:56:26payback
00:56:27against the elegance brand
00:56:28and a kick-out.
00:56:29Though formally,
00:56:29from my knowledge,
00:56:30Maggie Lee is not
00:56:31officially a part
00:56:32of the elegance brand.
00:56:32No, no, no, no, no.
00:56:33That is a very special
00:56:35ceremonial kind of thing.
00:56:37Oh, he went to the eye
00:56:39of the referee
00:56:40didn't see it.
00:56:42Jodie Threat
00:56:43was going for a pump.
00:56:44Shove it.
00:56:45Smart move
00:56:45by any means necessary.
00:56:47The elegance brand
00:56:48would appreciate that.
00:56:49That's a shove it.
00:56:50Oh!
00:56:51Jodie Threat
00:56:52taken down
00:56:53using the top rope.
00:56:54Tore it down
00:56:55to the Maggie Lee
00:56:56with the tower
00:56:57and the cutter.
00:56:59Shoulders down
00:57:00on a kick-out
00:57:02by Jodie Threat.
00:57:06Maggie Lee
00:57:06came within one second
00:57:08of shutting down
00:57:09the Wild Child.
00:57:12Big four on Shiver
00:57:13by Jodie Threat.
00:57:16Now up out of the shoulders.
00:57:18Maggie Lee
00:57:18trying to get in this match.
00:57:20Shoulders down.
00:57:21Out at two.
00:57:22One, two, three, four.
00:57:27Threat relentless here.
00:57:28Now it's letting Maggie
00:57:29have any room to breathe.
00:57:31These lariants
00:57:32in the corner.
00:57:36Jodie Threat
00:57:37lighting up
00:57:38Maggie Lee.
00:57:38Oh!
00:57:39And Danny Luna
00:57:40loving it

00:57:43Now could this be it?
00:57:44Oh!
00:57:45Shove it!
00:57:47Cover!
00:57:48One, two, three, four.
00:57:50Jodie Threat

00:57:53Here's your winner

01:11:26she's not ready to be in a ring with an athlete of my caliber
01:11:35still not can't believe the championship matchup that got made for under siege but coming up next trick
01:11:40williams said it's a good opportunity to get hurt but it's a scar-studded six-man tag team match

01:11:58here right now
01:12:02this was earlier on this week on nxt the tna world champion joe henry went to nxt territory
01:12:09searching for payback from rebellion by trick williams but instead was assaulted by all four
01:12:15members of dark state dark state leaving joe henry down in the center of the ring but hendry found
01:12:23some allies jumping you at rebellion and tonight with dark state you okay yeah in due time trick
01:12:30williams will get his but first i need to get my hands on dark state joe let it be known
01:12:36hank and tank we believe brother as far as dark state goes just say honk honk hank and tank are there
01:12:54honk honk
01:12:56so it's been made official for this coming tuesday night live on nxt the tna world champion joe henry
01:13:02will team up with the nxt tag team champions hank and tank against dark state but you gotta
01:13:07wonder what the mindset of joe henry is trick williams dark state is his mind in the right space
01:13:13ahead of our main event here tonight
01:13:18oh my god
01:13:26the following contest is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one call introducing first they are the tna
01:13:38world tag team champions the team of ryan and nick nemmet
01:13:48rebellion mark the upset of the century ryan nemmet scores a pinfall to take the tna world tag team
01:13:57titles from the hardys better than the bradys more handsome than the lawrence brothers
01:14:03the nemmets are on top of the world baby
01:14:07and now nick and ryan nemmet sets the team up with the former call your jack gauntlet winner
01:14:24and their tag team partner from yucca valley california weighing in at 220 pounds frankie
01:14:32kazarian not the usual arrogance of bravado written all over the face of frankie kazarian
01:14:41frankly it looks ticked off rebellion marked the biggest opportunity of his career frankie kazarian
01:14:48called his shot in advance in a matchup that was a triple threat match for joe henry who had a rotator
01:14:55cup injury by the way kazarian did not have to pin joe henry no count outs no disqualifications on top
01:15:02of that it was in kazarian's hometown of los angeles frankie kazarian is ticked off walking into this man
01:15:10i believe in joe henry
01:15:17i believe in joe henry
01:15:21i believe in joe henry
01:15:24i believe in my heart
01:15:28and i believe in jeff hardy
01:15:33and
01:15:45i believe in
01:16:23And their opponent, the team of Matt and Jeff Hardy, and the TNA World Champion, Joe Hendry.
01:16:49I had to sit back and take that one in a little bit between the reaction for Joe Hendry, the reaction for the Hardys.
01:16:57The electricity is literally palpable here in Southern California.
01:17:02Joe Hendry has been on the roll of a lifetime.
01:17:07Earlier on this year, competed in WWE's Royal Rumble shortly after capturing the TNA World title at Genesis.
01:17:15This then shocked us all, had a WrestleMania match against Randy Orton just a few weeks ago.
01:17:24And then successfully defended his title in the main event of Rebellion.
01:17:28As I mentioned, a triple threat match with Brinkley Cazarian and Ethan Page.
01:17:32But the bullseye on the back of Joe Hendry is enormous.
01:17:37We talked about it earlier on tonight.
01:17:39We saw what happened moments ago with Dark State this past Tuesday on NXT.
01:17:43for the Hurd from Trick Williams earlier on tonight.
01:17:47And this is breaking down into chaos very, very quickly.
01:17:51As I guess we had to expect that it would, given the players involved.
01:17:55You talked about the mood Cazarian was in.
01:17:58We know how ticked off the Hardys are about the win from the Nemets.
01:18:02Matt and Jeff Hardy and the TNA World Champion Joe Hendry in command live on Impact.
01:18:17TNA Impact is live tonight in the greater Los Angeles area.
01:18:21This is our main event.
01:18:23The TNA World Champion Joe Hendry and the parties up against Frankie Cazarian
01:18:28and the new TNA World Tag Team Champions, the Nemets.
01:18:32Right now, Matt Hardy has got Ryan Nemeth down.
01:18:37Oh, drop right to the heart.
01:18:40And the Hardys get some payback on the Nemets from Rebellion and a kickout.
01:18:44That should be Ryan Nemeth moving a lot more resilient than that Hardy counted on.
01:18:53Drop right to the midsection.
01:18:55They're about to twist the fan a little bit too close to the Nemets corner.
01:18:59Nick Nemeth getting involved in the half of the brother Shocker there.
01:19:03Oh, whoa!
01:19:04Over the twist of fate.
01:19:05Oh, and a guillotine leg drop.
01:19:07Nick Nemeth that distracted the referee.
01:19:09And now Ryan Nemeth able to clobber Matt Hardy.
01:19:12Beautifully done.
01:19:14Beautifully orchestrated and executed by the Nemeth and Cazarian there.
01:19:20I said it at Rebellion.
01:19:21Hell froze over.
01:19:23The fact that Ryan Nemeth scored the pinfall to take the TNA World Tag Team titles from the Hardys is unbelievable.
01:19:31Don't be so dramatic, Tom.
01:19:34Oh, my God.
01:19:35The drama with you.
01:19:37Oh, frozen.
01:19:38How about the main event tonight here on the campus of UC Irvine?
01:19:41And right here next week, this has been made official.
01:19:44Eric Young is going to get another crack at Steve Macklin and his TNA International Championship.
01:19:50Hold on.
01:19:50Here's a cover by Cazarian on Matt Hardy.
01:19:53Hardy's still alive.
01:19:54This is also official for next week.
01:19:56Postal Mahali moving in action for the first time since Rebellion.
01:20:00Hope is Tray Miguel of the Rascals.
01:20:02And also, early on tonight, we found out Victoria Crawford is not only the new deputy to the field of authority.
01:20:09And that she has a knockout to a title shot against Masha Slamovich at Undersea.
01:20:14But Victoria Crawford will make her TNA in-wing debut next week here on Impact.
01:20:18Emo in the ring here in our main event.
01:20:22Frankie Cazarian stirring up all kinds of trouble.
01:20:26And it is working.
01:20:27Stitting in the face of Joe Hendry.
01:20:29Causing Joe to get the official's attention.
01:20:32And now, the beatdown does continue on Matt Hardy.
01:20:37Where does Frankie Cazarian go from here after Rebellion?
01:20:40I mean, I feel sorry for anybody who crosses the pads.
01:20:44Hell hath no fury like a king of BNA scorned.
01:20:48Look, I feel like Frankie Cazarian's not going to take his eyes up to Rebellion.
01:20:54It's the one remaining bucket list item for Kaz here in his company.
01:20:59From the middle road, the leg drop.
01:21:00Here's the cover.
01:21:01Shoulders down.
01:21:03Oh, and a kick out there by Matt Hardy.
01:21:05You have to just imagine he's going to be more vicious than ever in order to get that done now.
01:21:09That the Call Your Shot trophies is out of the question.
01:21:12Earlier on tonight, Mike Santana said he's refocusing on the TNA World Championship.
01:21:17Oh!
01:21:17Side-rush and light sweep there by Matt Hardy as Cazarian was mocking the Hardys.
01:21:24Hardy now looking for his own tag.
01:21:27The window's open.
01:21:29And in comes Nick Nemitz.
01:21:31To meet the carries, not as open, made by Jeff Hardy.
01:21:35Can you imagine how ticked off Jeff Hardy is after Rebellion?
01:21:38And the fact that he got pinned by Ryan Nemitz.
01:21:41I mean, I hope that they look at someone like Ryan Nemitz, and especially these two as a team, with a lot more reverence and respect.
01:21:49Here's the cover.
01:21:50Shoulders down and a kick out.
01:21:52I doubt that there's a lot of respect.
01:21:54Yeah.
01:21:54I doubt it as well.
01:21:55Huge jawbreaker by Jeff Hardy.
01:22:00Down goes Nick Nemitz.
01:22:02Yeah, fighting battles on every front here.
01:22:08Oh, right to the chest.
01:22:12Jeff Hardy, the charismatic enigma on a roll.
01:22:15Trying to win this made of a matchup.
01:22:17And the right shoulder up in time for Nick Nemitz.
01:22:21The Hardys are owed a contractual rematch for the TNA World Tag Team Tigers following Rebellion.
01:22:28See how and where that might manifest a right now.
01:22:31Harvey, boom!
01:22:31Go to the twisted thing.
01:22:33Shoulders down.
01:22:33A handful of the pants.
01:22:35And a kick out.
01:22:37Nemitz almost had the charismatic enigma there.
01:22:41Now the boys from Camden, North Carolina, working together.
01:22:46A little pull through a motion.
01:22:50The double team continues here.
01:22:52Side effect from the second row.
01:22:56A splash by Jeff Hardy.
01:22:59Is that enough?
01:22:59Cover.
01:23:00Line broken up by Kaz.
01:23:02In comes Ryan Memmick.
01:23:04Great timing from Kazarian there.
01:23:06Now everybody's spilling into the action.
01:23:08On the TNA World Champion getting into the mix.
01:23:13Oh, one good two is better apparently.
01:23:17Series of fall away slams.
01:23:22And that goes for the hat trick.
01:23:30Joe Hendry pushing through that rotator cuff injury.
01:23:34Looks to be building strength.
01:23:38This is now continuous.
01:23:39Wait a minute.
01:23:40With one of the title belts.
01:23:41It's a twist of faith.
