00:01Undeniable forever.
00:13Dines forever.
00:20Funneling contest is a tag team match schedule for one fall.
00:24Introducing first from Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:28She's the undeniable diamond, Tessa Lanchard.
00:36Last week here on Impact, we saw a brawl breakout between the TNA Knockouts world champion Masha Slamovich
00:43and her under siege opponent, Victoria Crawford, after Crawford had made her TNA in-ring debut.
00:51Crawford had been victorious and then called out Slamovich.
00:54That battle ensued and Lanchard used that as an opportunity to jump Masha.
01:00Masha Slamovich is going to have to have her head on a swivel, it seems, everywhere she goes.
01:06And her tag team partner from Neptune Beach, Florida, Victoria Crawford.
01:16I still cannot wrap my head around this situation with the Deputy Director of Authority, Victoria Crawford,
01:22Robert Stone, Robert Stone, whatever his quote-of-quote official role is within this company.
01:28But Santino Morello was the one who made this match.
01:32Look, when you know the right people, you can make moves and Robert Stone and company have been doing that in Spain.
01:38Hymn
01:44Hymn
02:03And their opponents, first from Moscow, Russia, she is the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Masha Slamovic!
02:18One week from tomorrow, live on TNA Plus in the Greater Toronto Area, Brampton, Ontario, Masha Slamovic will defend her TNA Knockouts World Championship in a first-time-ever matchup against Victoria Crawford at Under Siege.
02:35There'll be no doubt about it, that match came out of nowhere, courtesy of Robert Stone, but any way you throw it, it's going down.
02:48And her tag team partners, from Los Angeles, California, from NXT, Nikita Lyons!
03:07It's going down all right, Nikita Lyons is the hand-picked partner for Masha Slam Vich 5, Robert Stone.
03:16Which makes this matchup a very interesting one for Masha Slamovic.
03:21Nikita Lyons is indeed the tag team partner of our Knockouts World Champion.
03:27But Masha's kind of in there in a three-strangers-to-one scenario, if you will.
03:33Masha Slamovic at first, first, Antina Morella was to have her choice of a tag team partner up against Tetson.
03:40And Crawford Stone stepped in and said, no, no, no, I'm going to pick the tag team partner for Masha Slamovic.
03:46So, I'm not entirely sure if these two will get along, it seems fine so far.
03:51There is a very diverse MMA background in the arsenal of Nikita Lyons.
03:56We know a lot about the MMA background of Masha Slamovic, so this could work out.
04:00But that's, I think, it's a question mark, isn't it?
04:04It's not a definitive, it's not somebody Masha's known here in TNA, somebody she's maybe teamed with or worked with before.
04:10It's a total stranger.
04:11It's an X-factor, which just makes this whole thing more complicated for the Knockouts World Champion.
04:16This is Lyons starting things off against Tessa Blanchard.
04:20Hasn't it been curious how quickly Tessa Blanchard has tried to cozy up to Robert Stone and Victoria Crawford?
04:30Hey, she knows where the power funnel is kind of leading.
04:34Oh!
04:34She can see the influence he's already had.
04:37Oh!
04:38Running forearm shiver.
04:40Oh!
04:40Oh, God!
04:42Nikita Lyons is all over Tessa Blanchard right now.
04:45Tessa Blanchard got two or three eyes full right there.
04:52Up onto the shoulders, and now Blanchard went to the eyes just to escape.
04:56And Victoria Crawford is tagged in.
04:59Same with the Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovic.
05:02A little preview of Under Siege right now.
05:06Oh!
05:07Crawford immediately getting nasty.
05:09He's getting a slap to the face.
05:11Slamovic, oh, kick right to the side of the head.
05:13Slamovic, who Robert Stone has described as a savage who doesn't deserve to be the Knockouts World Champion.
05:20Stone believes that Victoria Crawford deserves a Knockouts World title shot.
05:25I couldn't disagree more.
05:26I mean, look, we argued about it before.
05:29I mean, you can't argue with her time in the business, her former accomplishments.
05:34Cover.
05:35And a kickoff by Crawford.
05:36Yeah, I mean, there's something to be said for, as they say, time served in an industry like that.
05:41Sometimes there's a little bit of gravitas you've got to extend.
05:44Sure.
05:44As you've won one match in this company, plenty more action still to come this evening.
05:48One more than you won.
05:49For the first time in 16 years, Nick Nemeth will go one-on-one with Jeff Hardy later on tonight.
05:56And don't forget it, under siege, the Nemeths will be defending their tag team titles.
06:01Cover here.
06:02Against Matt Hardy and Leon Slater.
06:05Jeff Hardy is not able to travel to under siege, so the Hardys were able to name a substitute in Leon Slater.
06:13Also still to come tonight, tag team action.
06:15The Rascals will take on the great hands of Order 4.
06:18We'll see a four-way matchup to determine the future number one contender to the TNA international champion, Bulletproof Steve Macklin,
06:27who had a bloody dog collar match last week.
06:30Also still to come tonight, Indy Hartwell makes her TNA in-ring debut.
06:36And a cover here.
06:37Shoulders down.
06:38Crawford not quite getting it done.
06:40Also, it's the return of the first-class penthouse starring O'Shea Jackson Jr.
06:45Hold on, Northern Lights suplex here, and a kick out.
06:49The actor, musician, podcaster, O'Shea Jackson Jr.
06:53Later on tonight.
06:55I always look, I'm always invited, unlike some people.
06:59Thank God.
06:59I have an extended invitation.
07:03Oh, jawbreaker there by Slamovich.
07:06Spinning back fist.
07:08Trying to get some breathing room here.
07:09Crawford.
07:10Step up, Enziguri.
07:11Down goes Crawford.
07:13An opportunity for both Crawford and Slamovich to make tags.
07:18The window is open.
07:24Crawford trying to corral Slamovich.
07:27Get some breathing room here, but wait.
07:30Oh, and Tessa Blanchard taking away Nikita Lyons, who went face first into the steel steps.
07:36Nasty but effective.
07:38And now Slamovich trying to just get the job done on her own.
07:44Short arm clotheslines right here in the center of the ring.
07:47Look to the inside leg.
07:48Oh, and that's broken up by Blanchard.
07:51Oh, wait.
07:51Watch out.
07:52Lyons back into the fray here.
07:54And Lyons has been a great teammate to Slamovich thus far.
07:58I mentioned it was an X factor to start this whole thing off, but she's played her part.
08:03Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
08:04Blanchard pulled out a steel chair.
08:06Blanchard, no doubt, still sour from Rebellion.
08:09And her knockouts were a title shot against Slamovich.
08:12Slamovich disarmed Crawford.
08:14Wait a second, wait a second.
08:15Wait a second.
08:15Oh!
08:16And Slamovich with the chair.
08:18Going after Crawford.
08:19And now Blanchard.
08:21This is exactly what Robert Stone is talking about, to be fair.
08:27He's gone nuts.
08:29Here are your winners by disqualification.
08:32The team of Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard.
08:38This is exactly what I mean.
08:40And wait, wait.
08:41What does Santino have to say now?
08:43Lyons has ticked off without the loss.
08:46Slamovich defended herself ultimately.
08:48And here comes our director of authority.
08:51Santino Morala.
08:53Guys, the people here tonight, they deserve to see a proper finish.
09:00It's not going to go down like that.
09:03By the power invested in me, I order this match to restart right now.
09:09I love it.
09:10Take it, Karen.
09:13Well, I guess Masha Slamovich gets rewarded for swinging a chair around.
09:18Santino!
09:20Santino!
09:21Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second!
09:24Wait a second!
09:27Robert Stone.
09:28Not on my watch.
09:30The decision stands, Santino.
09:34Your winners, Victoria and Tessa.
09:39I mean, fair is fair.
09:41Tessa Blanchard is the one swinging the steel.
09:47You reap what you sow.
09:50More frustration for the Knockouts World Champion.
09:55Robert Stone and Victoria Crawford have their way when it comes to the Knockouts World title.
10:02One week from tomorrow.
10:03One week from tomorrow, live at Under Siege.
10:07I'm fucking fuck
