00:00:00Goes down now, at Against All Odds.
00:00:16The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:00:20Introducing first, from Yucca Valley, California.
00:00:23Weighing in at 220 pounds,
00:00:27Frankie Pazarian!
00:00:33If there was one man,
00:00:35who was right off the jump the moment that Joe Hendry lost the TNA World Title,
00:00:42to stick his nose in,
00:00:44it was this man, it was the king of TNA,
00:00:47who was very public about his anger,
00:00:50about his disappointment in Joe Hendry,
00:00:53in letting down TNA, letting down everybody in the back,
00:00:57we know the sort of history between the two,
00:00:59and that was the ammo that Frankie Pazarian needed,
00:01:02to take that crusade to another level.
00:01:05You won't save him,
00:01:09and I,
00:01:10in your hands,
00:01:11I believe in Joe Hendry,
00:01:15I believe in Joe Hendry,
00:01:19And his opponent,
00:01:26from Edinburgh, Scotland,
00:01:28weighing in at 252 pounds,
00:01:31a pure motivation,
00:01:33we believe in Joe Hendry!
00:01:41Two weeks ago at WWE Battleground,
00:01:44the wrestling world was turned upside down,
00:01:47as Drake Williams cut corners and cheated,
00:01:50to take the TNA World Championship from Joe Hendry,
00:01:54purely out of spite,
00:01:56out of selfishness.
00:01:58Tonight, Joe Hendry looks to rebound,
00:02:01and you have to look back at what Joe Hendry has accomplished in his time here at TNA Wrestling.
00:02:07What Hendry accomplished especially as TNA World Champion,
00:02:11Joe Hendry will go down as arguably the most important TNA World Champion of all time.
00:02:19Well, despite everything,
00:02:38someone like Frankie Pazarian has hurled at Joe Hendry in the wake of that world championship loss.
00:02:45Oh, and look at this! Hendry all over Pazarian!
00:02:48All this frustration pouring out of Hendry!
00:02:52It was Pazarian who literally interrupted the first words Joe Hendry had for the entire TNA World.
00:03:00It was Frankie Pazarian who wanted to make sure that Joe Hendry knew face-to-face just how disappointed he was,
00:03:07and now he might be paying for that!
00:03:10Frankie Pazarian lashing out on social media,
00:03:13saying that Joe Hendry let everybody down, let all of his fans down,
00:03:18let TNA Wrestling down when he lost the championship at Battleground.
00:03:22You've got to believe Joe Hendry knows that the loss of the title is monumental,
00:03:28but now it's his mission to try and get it back!
00:03:31Pazarian sent to the outside!
00:03:34Upside down and inside out, all the way to the floor goes the King!
00:03:40Hendry more than acknowledges what went down at Battleground and how he has to get better.
00:03:45He does own a contractual rematch for the TNA World Championship,
00:03:48but Frankie Pazarian is walking into a buzzsaw tonight.
00:03:53It's not only the history between Pazarian and Hendry,
00:03:55but think about Joe Hendry stepping into the same building as Trick Williams,
00:04:00who will defend the TNA World title later on tonight against Elijah.
00:04:04And it's Hendry!
00:04:06You can see it etched out of the face of the former TNA World Champion.
00:04:11He is in a mood tonight. He is a man on a mission.
00:04:15I just hope his frustration does not backfire,
00:04:18and he can still focus on getting away and getting back on the right track.
00:04:23Hendry will back inside and reset the 10 count.
00:04:26I don't know if we've ever seen this side of Joe Hendry in a TNA ring!
00:04:31Look, as much of a fan as I am of the King,
00:04:38if this is the attitude that will get Hendry back on the right foot, I'm for it!
00:04:43Use it! Use that disappointment! Use that anger!
00:04:46Big right hand there by Pazarian to meet Hendry,
00:04:50as he came back inside the ring.
00:04:51Now on the move, one of the crossbody, but gets caught!
00:04:57Oh, he slammed!
00:05:01And frustrated or no, Hendry still believes!
00:05:08With the people behind him, Joe Hendry wants to finish off Kazarian,
00:05:16and against all odds, he wanted the standing ovation, but down goes Kazarian.
00:05:21Now out here, dangerous territory though, fighting out on the apron,
00:05:31up onto the shoulders, Frankie Kazarian caught up, dangerous situation, oh my god,
00:05:38is it time for a standing ovation from the apron to the floor!
00:05:42Oh, and a thumb to the eye!
00:05:44Desperate times, call for desperate measures!
00:05:47Oh!
00:05:48That's exactly what Kaz had in mind!
00:05:50Oh!
00:05:51God!
00:05:52Smashing the left leg into the steel steps!
00:05:55Ankle, might have shot right up into the knee there too, a lot of damage, but look out!
00:06:01And a chop block by Kazarian!
00:06:04And now, Kaz has a target here!
00:06:09Blood is in the water!
00:06:12Kazarian's found an opening!
00:06:18I think all of this from Kazarian is out of pure jealousy.
00:06:23He sees the places that Joe Hendry has gone to, where he took the TNA World Championship
00:06:28to.
00:06:29For the first time ever, the TNA World Title was represented in WWE's Royal Rumble match.
00:06:35Joe Hendry was the champion.
00:06:36A sight we never thought we'd see, the TNA World Champion competing at WrestleMania.
00:06:42Joe Hendry did that against the Surefire Hall of Famer in Randy Orton.
00:06:47Meanwhile, you have Frankie Kazarian, who's never even captured the TNA World Title, and
00:06:53he dare cast aspersions from the base camp of Everest at someone who's climbed the mountain.
00:06:59Look, I think Kazarian, no doubt, feels vindicated.
00:07:04Everything he's said, everything he's felt about Joe Hendry as a result of what happened
00:07:10at NXT Battle Draft.
00:07:12And now he gets to take those frustrations out on the man he feels is responsible for
00:07:19losing the championship.
00:07:21And Frankie Kazarian wants to take this opportunity when he believes that Joe Hendry is mentally
00:07:26vulnerable.
00:07:27Joe Hendry, obviously emotional, obviously frustrated after Battleground.
00:07:31He's been pouring out of him this entire matchup.
00:07:34Look, you can call the feelings, the anger of Frankie Kazarian misplaced or whatever, but
00:07:39he's doing it out of some kind of loyalty to TNA.
00:07:42Oh, that's a load of crap.
00:07:44I understand he's a TNA original.
00:07:46He turned his back on this company a year and a half ago.
00:07:49He had his chances.
00:07:50Remember Bound for Glory, the title shot that Joe Hendry earned?
00:07:53He beat Kazarian very square to get it.
00:07:55Oh, and remember Rebellion.
00:07:57Frankie Kazarian called his shot in a match where Hendry didn't have to be pinned or submitted
00:08:02in Kaz's own hometown of LA, and he's still going to get the job done.
00:08:06The only person Kazarian should be blaming is himself.
00:08:11Right now, he gets to blame Joe Hendry.
00:08:13He gets to punish Joe Hendry.
00:08:16Saying it like Boston Craft, Frankie Kazarian focusing on the damaged left leg of Joe Hendry.
00:08:24Can Hendry persevere as he has done throughout his time in TNA Wrestling?
00:08:30He gets to the bottom rope!
00:08:34Kazarian now holding on for every single bit of the five count.
00:08:39Kazarian wants the referee to raise his hand in victory.
00:08:42That's not going to happen.
00:08:43The match continues.
00:08:44Hendry's still in it.
00:08:48But Kaz continuing to inflict pain.
00:08:51And there you go.
00:08:52Hendry can't even run.
00:08:54The damage to the leg.
00:08:58Anything you want to think about Frankie Kazarian, he is the one of, if not the most diabolical,
00:09:05one of the most intelligent within those ropes and the entire TNA roster.
00:09:10Let's go Hendry!
00:09:11Let's go Hendry!
00:09:13Let's go Hendry!
00:09:15Let's go Hendry!
00:09:17Let's go Hendry!
00:09:19The fans believed in Joe Hendry and motivated him to the TNA World Championship back at Genesis.
00:09:27Hendry reaches out, grabs the bottom rope and breaks free of the submission.
00:09:32Hendry has heard the people.
00:09:34It's why he went viral early last year.
00:09:37And that's been exactly the problem for Frankie Kazarian.
00:09:43It's viral.
00:09:44It's a sickness he sees that Joe Hendry is to the TNA universe, if you will.
00:09:50Look out!
00:09:51Oh!
00:09:52And a backstabber!
00:09:53How apropos!
00:09:54And now Frankie Kazarian with a low clothesline.
00:09:58Not done yet.
00:10:00From the middle rope.
00:10:01Oh!
00:10:02Was going for the leg drop.
00:10:03And Hendry got out of the way.
00:10:05That's an opening for Hendry.
00:10:08You gotta remember the damage to the leg.
00:10:12Off of the ropes and the cutter!
00:10:14Hendry still favoring the left leg.
00:10:17Fighting through the pain though.
00:10:19Go!
00:10:20Go!
00:10:21Go!

00:11:01Go!
00:11:02Go!
00:11:03Even a one-legged kip up there
00:11:08But you see the agony etched under the face of the former world champion
00:11:18The people continue to motivate Hendry
00:11:23But a quick chicken wing chicken wing now

00:12:18Kazarian to put away Hendry and a kick out
00:12:23And these are the moments these are the times
00:12:26That Hendry is gonna have to remember what brought him to the dance what brought him to the world title

00:18:01Maybe you wouldn't see it
00:18:03Cool gear look at that
00:18:04Yeah
00:18:04That's great ladies come on we got a big nut
00:18:14Robert Stone paid off the referee stacking the deck against Santino
00:18:18Like Clay Davis said I'll take anybody's money if they giving it away
00:18:22Oh my god
00:18:24But coming up right now let's turn our attention to the tag titles as the Nemets
00:18:29Will defend against the Rascals tonight
00:18:31Let's take a look at the tag lines
00:18:33This is the first time ever these two teams have met
00:18:36The Rascals won a four-way matchup to become the number one contenders
00:18:40To the TNA World Tag Team titles last week on Impact
00:18:43And remember it was Ryan Nemeth who scored the pinfall against the Hardys at Rebellion
00:18:48So that Nick and Ryan could become TNA World Tag Team Champions
00:18:53We are set here at Against All Odds for the TNA World Tag Team Championship match
00:18:59The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it's for the TNA World Tag Team Championship
00:19:27And the boys from the treehouse are looking to re-sement themselves
00:19:46atop the tag team division but they are going to have their hands full with the chance tonight
00:19:57Two of the more decorated wrestlers in recent memory here in TNA
00:20:01Zachary Wentz a former X Division Champion
00:20:04Former TNA World Tag Team Champion with Miguel
00:20:07Well Miguel the two-time X Division Champion
00:20:13Oh my god
00:20:13And their opponents
00:20:28They are the TNA World Tag Team Champions
00:20:35Ryan and Nick Nemeth
00:20:43Well for a long time Nick Nemeth has made his home here in the greater Phoenix area
00:20:46lives about 20 minutes away from where our broadcast is emanating from live tonight on the campus of Arizona State University
00:20:53I do wonder if Nick Nemeth is walking into this a little overconfident
00:20:56maybe a little distracted with the amount of Hooters chains have been closed down around the nation
00:21:01because now Nick and Ryan Nemeth walk into this matchup against one of the best tag teams that TNA Wrestling has to offer
00:21:07Are the Nemeth prepared for this fight?
00:21:11That's my hometown man right there
00:21:13Oh gosh
00:21:14I don't want to hear about that ever again
00:21:16That is my hometown man
00:21:18Put some respect on the Nemeth as your tag team champions
00:21:22You like to disrespect Ryan Nemeth a lot
00:21:24Ryan Nemeth's brother is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world
00:21:28Ryan Nemeth's girlfriend is the star for the biggest movie in the world
00:21:32And Ryan Nemeth is right there as one of the tag team champions
00:21:36So yeah
00:21:37Who's his girlfriend?
00:21:39The incredible Anna Lore
00:21:41I did not know
00:21:42Final Destination Bloodlines
00:21:43Go see it now
00:21:45Alright
00:21:45How much did they pay you for the plug?
00:21:47Oh no
00:21:48That's out of the goodness of my heart
00:21:50Because I love and respect
00:21:51Ryan Nemeth
00:21:53It's all about the TNA World Tag Team titles right now
00:21:57And against all odds
00:21:59Will we add to the fantastic legacy that's been set forward by the likes of the Hall of Famers
00:22:04Team 3D
00:22:05Teams like the Motor City Machine Guns
00:22:07LAX
00:22:08America's Most Wanted
00:22:10The Naturals
00:22:10Beer Money Inc
00:22:12The North
00:22:13The list goes on and on
00:22:15Tremendous lineage of tag team wrestling in TNA
00:22:19Chris Saban never held a sad card
00:22:22We don't know that for sure
00:22:24Well this will be Ryan Nemeth to start things off against Zachary Wentz
00:22:30Zachary Wentz who also has two NXT tag team titles on his resume
00:22:35Extremely talented star
00:22:37Especially of course yes in tag team wrestling to your point
00:22:40Ryan Nemeth though you're showing up he's got an amateur wrestling background himself
00:22:44Well wrestling you idiot
00:22:47Tag made in comes Nick Nemeth
00:22:51Nick Nemeth the former TNA World Champion
00:22:54Remember how at sacrifice
00:22:59It was the Nemeth brothers who executed a premeditated attack to assault Matt Hardy in the cage that night
00:23:06Here's the cover the kick out trying to retain the titles
00:23:12It has been all nemes in the opening moments the rascals are going to need to get off the blocks on this one
00:23:18You can't lose this much
00:23:20You can't lose this much momentum early
00:23:22Nick's first two matches when he arrived at TNA were actually victories up against
00:23:29Trent Miguel and Zachary Wentz the rascals were attempting to kick them out of TNA early in his tenure
00:23:39Maybe they saw something well before the rest of us did
00:23:41Unsuccessful however and now oh
00:23:45Reaping the consequences of that as the Nemeth stand atop the tag team division
00:23:52In comes Trey miguel legal up against Nick Nemeth
00:23:57Look out here we go
00:23:58Speaking of the Motor City machine guns
00:24:01a little
00:24:02tribute there
00:24:04Cover try to win the titles and a quick kick out there by Nick Nemeth
00:24:07And of course, you know the Nemeths like to love themselves the best brother tag team of all time
00:24:13It's all about family
00:24:15But of course Trey miguel has his own family here tonight
00:24:18His eldest brother is out here in tempe arizona here tonight at the show supporting and family is on the table here tonight
00:24:26And against all odds
00:24:31Tag made in comes Nick Nemeth's nepo baby brother ryan nemo
00:24:37Some really fantastic athletes in this tna world tag team championship matchup
00:24:44Look just because your brother doesn't love you doesn't mean
00:24:47That you have to get upset because the nemes have a real brotherly bond. Okay
00:24:54Oh god, I want to stay away from that base
00:24:59As now the rascals have found the opening that they were looking for in the early moments of this matchup
00:25:04The nemes were on the wrong end of the main event last night on impact that six-man tag team matchup won by
00:25:11Slater party and santana
00:25:14There's the cover twisting out of the corner trying to win the titles and a kick out
00:25:20Went showing some incredible athleticism here
00:25:22Oh, he right to the back ryan neveth getting the attention of our referee page prince of volley
00:25:28Wentz taking a shot at nick neveth ryan attacking wentz from behind that's all you need sometimes is that opening
00:25:34Yeah, sometimes you just need somebody to turn their back so you can clock in the back
00:25:38Super kick on the outside by nick neveth the referee was paying attention to ryan neveth
00:25:44Yeah, and also do that
00:25:48Nevin
00:25:49Nick neveth on the floor just cleaning the clock
00:25:53of zachary wentz
00:25:58Trey miguel does have to retreat back to his corner wentz has to get back in on his own title can only change hands
00:26:05to be a pinball goal submission
00:26:07Nick neveth nearly kicked that nascar level mustache off the face of zachary wentz
00:26:12There's the cover and a kick out by wentz
00:26:16Prize a little work ryan neveth attempts to do in his professional life
00:26:19He didn't just let went sit out there and wait for a count out
00:26:23Look he wants to they want to punish him
00:26:25They want to show him what the best brother tag team
00:26:28In all of tna history can do all of tna history. You know the hardys competed earlier on tonight. Those kids are pretty good
00:26:37Might have a bright future if they put the work in
00:26:39But what i'm looking at right now is a championship pedigree
00:26:45That the neveths have started to build here unlike any other
00:26:51Nick neveth is clearly having a lot of fun
00:26:53I mean it's fun when you're the best trust me i know
00:27:00Shot to the heart trying to retain the championship and a kick out there by wentz
00:27:05Not a lot of umph behind that kick out though wentz is really starting to feel it
00:27:09So you don't find it underhanded at all nope that the neveths use their champions prerogative and granted the hardys their rematch in
00:27:16Canada and under siege knowing full well that jeff hardy could not travel to canada look
00:27:21I give the neveths a lot of credit for giving that match so quickly like i mean it was really within weeks
00:27:27I mean normally some people make wait months for their contractual rematches
00:27:33They're out of the goodness of their hearts in comes ryan neveth
00:27:35Generous and talented
00:27:44That was lence ryan neveth mocking trey miguel
00:27:56I mean it's entirely possible it's entirely possible
00:27:59He's not
00:28:01I'm sorry i've said i saw his birth certificate
00:28:05Maybe i confirm that i do my research oh gosh
00:28:11i've seen photo albums
00:28:14It's like could be doctor ai does a lot of stuff
00:28:17oh please
00:28:18next morning oh
00:28:20drawing the attention of our referee page brin zavali ryan neveth with more illegal contact on zachary
00:28:26Wentz is taking a hell of a beating at this point in the match playing with the sandbox that's put out in front of him
00:28:32the ref doesn't see it don't count
00:28:35chance for ever
00:28:43Wentz is in a bad bad way here but oh
00:28:47now went so too soon went trying to fight out of the corner
00:28:51that trademark toughness we've seen from wentz for many years of professional wrestling trying to get to the corner trying to make a tag at trey miguel
00:28:58nick neveth standing in between zachary wentz and a tag trey miguel is fresh trying to get to went oh no and ryan never takes away the tag option
00:29:13just in the nick of time
00:29:15like it or not that was beautifully done
00:29:21and now dragging wentz back into their corner tag made ryan neveth is legal and wentz is no tag option at this point in time
00:29:32beautiful teamwork there from the champions is that enough trying to retain and a kick out by wentz
00:29:38Wentz has been absolutely obliterated here but somehow continues to kick out continues to stay in this fight
00:29:50i give credit where it is due zachary wentz is one tough slb
00:29:56driving wentz face first into the top rope i'll be careful
00:30:00i don't get disqualified
00:30:10they've been very careful so far plan so far worked pretty much to perfection but wait look how
00:30:16look at the chin wentz has got an opening and he needs it he needs it very badly
00:30:30trey miguel desperately wants that tag
00:30:36and the tag made trey miguel to meet ryan neveth drum kick off of the top rope
00:30:42miguel fired up here in the desert

00:38:26be the official director of authority in tna wrestling matt cardona is the special guest referee
00:38:33santino morella faces robert stone for the future of tna
00:38:43my name is robert stone and you santino are officially under review if you make one mistake
00:38:52i'll be reporting it i'm the liaison between nxt and tna you come from a wrestling family and that may
00:38:59have gotten you through the front door my family name we've built the foundation for the damn house
00:39:05i took my family's legacy and i turned it to diamonds i want tessa at under siege santino that's the first
00:39:13great idea that i've heard you have you look at my eyes if you or tessa try to make an example of ariana
00:39:23and you try to hurt her i'm not going to be santino morella the director of authority look at me now
00:39:30i'm going to be santino morella the father
00:39:33i'm stepping down as director of authority for only one day because i'm going to be reinstated
00:39:45after i destroy robert stone's act you better be ready to go through hell because the only way you're
00:39:53going to win is over my chef's body
00:40:07please welcome the special guest referee matt cardona
00:40:17cardona never met a payday he turned down earlier on this evening we saw robert stone pay off cardona
00:40:26to look the other way if tessa blanchard or victorian crawford got involved or even if robert
00:40:31stone did something illegal the fix is in ray wall i mean to be fair he just said he likes free money
00:40:47and the sheriff is here
00:41:02accompanied by victoria crawford and tessa blanchard sheriff stone looks to officially take control
00:41:11of tna wrestling
00:41:17for weeks now the authority here in tna has been officially under review of batman
00:41:23robert stone at the behest of authorities we don't know about but it's all on the line here tonight
00:41:41and tina morella said earlier on tonight that robert stone doesn't want the responsibility of being
00:41:48the director of authority he wants the clap
00:41:52tina morella tonight is fighting for his job he's fighting for tna wrestling but he's fighting for his
00:41:58family the fact that his daughter ariana grace from nxt has gotten mixed up in this has made him
00:42:05absolutely sick you can see that expression on santino's face it means business tonight
00:42:15the following contest is scheduled for one fall
00:42:17and will determine the official tna director of authority
00:42:30introducing first accompanied to the ring by tessa blanchard and victoria crawford
00:42:36and his opponent accompanied to the ring by miss nxt ariana grace
00:42:54this has gotten very personal for santino morella over the last several weeks
00:43:17i've seen him heated in these exchanges like i've never seen him before and i've known the man a long time
00:43:25it's about more than just the job at this point
00:43:29matt cardona is the special guest referee he's checking robert stone for weapons
00:43:35there seems to be a protrusion
00:43:44referee notices a protuberance you got to check it out
00:43:48and oh look at the last suckles
00:44:02your point earlier at least cardona's calling it out i'm genuinely surprised robert stone paid him off
00:44:08he paid him we don't know if he paid him off mad cardona has a very high rate
00:44:15so uh uh nope i'm still tina morella willingly relinquishing what appears to be
00:44:21is that a part of a print stick i think you're right
00:44:27up all right at least he was honest about it
00:44:31the bell has rung we're about to find out who tna's director of authority will be
00:44:44here at against all odds immediately robert stone like a coward dives out of the ring
00:44:50like look like anybody else he's controlling the pace here he isn't at a singles match on nxt
00:44:55television in nearly a year and a half this is stone's first singles match at tna in eight years
00:45:04i heard he's been training in the stone dungeon getting ready for this he's in the best shape
00:45:09look at him he's in the best shape of his life i know he owns a chain of f45 so they've probably
00:45:13been working very hard in that capacity meanwhile santina morello does zone training in mixed martial
00:45:18arts all sorts of combat sports at his own battle in the greater toronto area and is regularly competing
00:45:25in pro wrestling yeah but you said robert stone is f45 that's three times faster than an f15
00:45:32and stone gets to the bottom rope to break up the submission cardona the referee all over that early
00:45:38look you gotta love a referee who's refereeing in full wrestling here yeah that's a different move
00:45:44look he's always ready he's never not always ready to be the referee and now stone who takes an early
00:45:52advantage here with santino morella last time we saw an outright battle for the director of authority position
00:46:01all the way back to 2004 the infamous don callis and eric watts match here in tna wrestling
00:46:08now we've relived that struggle again the stone side to the outside trying to get breathing room but
00:46:17i don't think he's getting any and why would santina morella give him any breathing room earlier on
00:46:23tonight robert stone said he was going to make ariana his maid after it becomes the director of authority
00:46:28he's got to keep to employed oh what a big shot right to the midsection
00:46:37oh god stone and santino spilling out to the crowd here on the campus of arizona state university
00:46:44our referee is matt cardona so he's clearly letting it go a lot of referees discretion here
00:46:50cardona's discretion right on his robert stones
00:47:03what the robert stone all the way back to robbie e
00:47:06and santino was reveling and just beating the crap out of robert stone in front of the people
00:47:18he's out here to represent
00:47:22bringing stone back into the impact zone victoria crawford and tessa blanchard with the vested interest
00:47:28in stone becoming director of authority slowing up santina morella matt cardona saw all of it but is
00:47:35choosing not to reject them and it's all up to his discretion here to your point
00:47:42we already did blanchard and crawford attacking santino
00:47:49cardona warning blanchard and crawford
00:47:52blanchard by the way who's on the tna injury report presented by bioflex
00:47:58we very clearly saw that but out here she's looking very capable right now oh yes suffering from tmj
00:48:05sternum first into the top turnbuckle goes santino morella here's my question robert stone works for
00:48:11nxt doesn't work for this company i know it on good authority nobody in anthem sports and entertainment
00:48:16called out robert stone said oh let's give you a job see if you'll be director of authority i think
00:48:21ultimately this entire situation robert stone made it up you know he constantly would say the higher up said
00:48:28this fire upset that he never proved it show me the evidence never did it he's potentially gonna talk
00:48:35his way and buy his way into a job that actually means something the evidence is that he said things
00:48:42and people listen you gotta so he's a liar i gotta try that sometime tom leave
00:48:54off the turnbuckles the elbow here's the cover to become the director of authority and a kick out at
00:49:00two matt cardona fair count there shades of correct heart there from robert stone
00:49:07what are you laughing at there's a picture perfect for him yeah just like red heart
00:49:12now stone in firm control of santino here
00:49:29santino morella breaking things up here against robert stone robert still might have a busted lip
00:49:35there courtesy of santino morella in this matchup stone is literally bleeding for tna
00:49:44he's bleeding for himself he doesn't care about this company even if he didn't work here a long time ago
00:49:48oh and remember the cobra is legal the man is useless without his snake
00:50:06wait a minute cover cardona what's he gonna do
00:50:11santino got his shoulder up he didn't count refusing to count
00:50:19he saw the feet on the ropes but he was conflicted for a second but making the choice
00:50:24he got paid by robert stone i'm genuinely surprised matt cardona's not going along with stone
00:50:31whoa whoa wait a minute shoulders down i'm gonna kick out animals backfire big time on stone there
00:50:37stone and santino down in the middle of the ring same idea here
00:50:48who can get back to their feet back to the advantage
00:51:02no
00:51:11bad intentions with that badge
00:51:13My car tona for vetting stone
00:51:21Cardona really living up to call this down the middle on out Victoria
00:51:26With the axe kick
00:51:29Partona didn't see it stone kitty see the director of authority no
00:51:36Just in the nick of time
00:51:39Santino saves his chances
00:51:44Take a look back here the axe kick by Victoria Crawford behind cartona's back stone nearly took advantage and won the doa job
00:51:59Now still to try to toy Santino here
00:52:08Oh wait a minute
00:52:13Santino coming back to life here
00:52:20Santino knows what he's fighting for for TNN wrestling for his daughter Arianna Grace
00:52:26For families everywhere who build lives together for professional wrestling
00:52:33Oh my god
00:52:35Classic Santino
00:52:39Victoria Crawford
00:52:40Trumps up Santino
00:52:41Santino
00:52:42Cardona's all over it
00:52:44Arianna Grace chasing off Crawford
00:52:47Oh and a low blow
00:52:51God could this be it?
00:52:54Cover
00:52:55Oh and a kick down by Santino
00:52:57Oh and a kick down by Santino
00:52:58Oh and a kick down by Santino
00:53:00Cardona was slow on the count
00:53:02And Stone is none too pleased with all the distractions on the outside the low blow from Robert Stone
00:53:13Cardona
00:53:14And Cardona again I think he's had a crisis of conscience
00:53:18I didn't know he had one
00:53:20Same
00:53:22Clearly Stone's payoff was not enough to throw Cardona
00:53:28Crawford again up on the air for the weight
00:53:32Arianna Grace trying to help out her father
00:53:34Orianna Grace once again
00:53:35Down goes Stone
00:53:37And a little bit of payback there
00:53:51Oh and down goes Stone
00:53:56And look out
00:54:00Now there's the headbutt
00:54:02Oh wait a minute
00:54:05Lantern ran off with the Cobra
00:54:08Oh wait

00:58:27And the road to Slammiversary kicks off this Thursday on Impact.
00:58:31That's right, you saw them returning to TNA right here tonight.
00:58:36You will see the inspiration will be back on TNA Impact in action for the first time in three years.
00:58:44Can't wait for that this Thursday night on TNA Impact.
00:58:47But now it is time for our main event representing TNA Wrestling.
00:58:52It will be Elijah representing NXT.
00:58:55It's Trick Williams.
00:58:57The TNA World Championship is on the line.
00:59:00The future of this company was drastically altered at WWE Battleground.
00:59:06This could completely change the landscape of the industry.
00:59:15It is time for history.
00:59:17History.
00:59:18History.
00:59:19History.
00:59:20Face first on the TNA World title.
00:59:23Trick shot.
00:59:24That time under the jaw.
00:59:27Oh.
00:59:28My.
00:59:29God.
00:59:30What happened here tonight will echo through eternity.
00:59:35All of us here in TNA Wrestling are still reeling from the events at WWE Battleground.
00:59:40It is now Trick and A.
00:59:42Something going on beneath the surface, Trick.
00:59:45You're not calm.
00:59:47You're cracking.
00:59:48Already.
00:59:49And that's because you're built on hype, not heart.
00:59:53You were not born to win.
00:59:55You're champion of TNA.
00:59:56I really do feel bad.
00:59:58It's not about Joe Hendry no more.
01:00:00It's not about Elijah.
01:00:01It all starts within.
01:00:02That's where legends begin.
01:00:05It's time for a rebranding.
01:00:07I've been in the trenches.
01:00:09Went to war with so called wrestling gods.
01:00:12I'm gonna take your fans.
01:00:14I'm gonna take your brand.
01:00:16And it's probably gonna make you sick man.
01:00:18So bring the championship belt.
01:00:20I'll baptize you both in my light.
01:00:23Bring that TNA championship home to stay.
01:00:27Find out why in TNA we walk this way.
01:00:42Let's take a look at the tail of the tape here at Against All Odds.
01:00:46Trick Williams was able to retain under controversy this past Tuesday night live on NXT
01:00:51against Mike Santana with the involvement of First Class.
01:00:54He goes up against Elijah who's 8-2 in TNA since his debut back in February.
01:00:59He's seeking his first major championship victory in professional wrestling.
01:01:04Tonight, TNA Wrestling is behind Elijah.
01:01:08Can he take back our world championship from Trick Williams?
01:01:20Hello, I am Elijah.
01:01:22And I have one question for everybody here tonight.
01:01:49Who wants to walk with Elijah?
01:01:57Ladies and gentlemen, tonight Trick Williams is gonna find out what everybody here knows
01:02:03because I am bringing the TNA championship home to stay.
01:02:08because in TNA we walk this way.
01:02:14I said in TNA we walk this way.
01:02:20Let's do it.
01:02:21I'll follow as they lead me to the dark side of the road.
01:02:37This is just the second world title match of Elijah's career.
01:02:41The only other one being a three-way match for the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship.
01:02:46Last year, considering the roads traveled for Elijah, he has been world championship material for a long time.
01:02:53Tonight, he has extra motivation.
01:02:55Can Elijah move this off for TNA Wrestling?
01:02:59He has all the motivation in the world.
01:03:01But that said, given the epic shift in the landscape of TNA, he also has all that pressure.
01:03:09He has carried the locker room on his back.
01:03:13Will he rise to the moment?
01:03:15Or will he break?
01:03:17He has carried the locker room on his back.
01:03:20The pressure is all on Elijah.
01:03:30The pressure is all on Elijah.
01:03:36The pressure is all on Elijah.
01:03:42I don't know if I've ever seen someone so disingenuous.
01:04:07Come run your mouth.
01:04:10He's happy to talk about it.
01:04:11You know that?
01:04:12Oh, he's happy to talk about it.
01:04:13He actually bothered to show up for work.
01:04:15You know who showed up on Impact after winning our world title and didn't work here?
01:04:19Christian Cage showed up.
01:04:20Even Kenny Omega showed up.
01:04:22This guy didn't bother to show up to this company for two weeks.
01:04:25He didn't give a damn about this company.
01:04:27He doesn't care about the prestigious lineage of the TNA World Championship.
01:04:31Trick cares about Trick.
01:04:33A trick in a BS.
01:04:35I don't want to hear any of it.
01:04:36There's no doubt about it.
01:04:38He's his own biggest fan.
01:04:41And he's accomplished something very few have.
01:04:46The only person in WWE history to hold a TNA title.
01:04:56The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
01:05:09And it's for the TNA World Championship.
01:05:19Introducing first, the challenger from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
01:05:25Weighing in at 231 pounds, Elijah.
01:05:32And his opponent, from Columbia, South Carolina, weighing in at 240 pounds.
01:05:45He is the TNA World Champion, Trick Williams.
01:05:57That is what it is all about.
01:06:20It is about the opportunity to bring that championship home where so many feel it truly belongs.
01:06:31It does belong here.
01:06:32The one person who doesn't is the current champion.
01:06:3518 years ago, the TNA Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle, became the first TNA World Champion.
01:06:42Since then, it's been held by the likes of Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, as recently as Josh Alexander.
01:06:51And Joe Hendry, who took the championship to new heights and lost it at WWE Battleground.
01:06:57Two Trick Williams, who cheated that night, by the way, to win the title.
01:07:01And let's not forget what happened this past Tuesday night on NXT.
01:07:05We really still don't completely understand if there is a deep relationship between first class and Trick Williams.
01:07:13Exactly how that transpired.
01:07:14We don't know.
01:07:15We don't know if it's premeditated.
01:07:19We don't know if...
01:07:21Look, we know AJ Francis.
01:07:22Maybe he's just trying to strike first and get in good with the current champion.
01:07:29Well, earlier on tonight, we saw the first class penthouse.
01:07:32Mike Santana crashed that.
01:07:34He took out KC Navarro.
01:07:35But AJ Francis assaulted Mike Santana from behind with a champagne bottle.
01:07:40Mike Santana was being checked out by our medical staff potentially for a concussion.
01:07:44He put his hands on Dr. Asa Andrew.
01:07:47I understand that TNA officials are looking into the matter.
01:07:50There might be fines coming for Mike Santana.
01:07:52So Santana's been removed from the building, to my knowledge.
01:07:55Meanwhile, Joe Hendry competed against Frankie Kazarian earlier on tonight.
01:07:59Joe Hendry sustained a leg injury in the process.
01:08:02I know he's being evaluated backstage.
01:08:05There are a lot of people with a vested interest in the outcome of this matchup on our roster right now.
01:08:10But Elijah's the one who's got to get in there and prove what he said earlier on tonight.
01:08:14That Trick is built on height, not heart.
01:08:19No doubt about it.
01:08:20But look, you can't take it away from him.
01:08:24He's an incredible athlete.
01:08:26He's gotten to where he's gotten on a lot of skill.
01:08:31Yeah, it's a lot of flash.
01:08:33Yeah, it's an ego the size of the sun.
01:08:36And that's what winning the TNA world title was all about.
01:08:39I don't disagree, but somebody's got to take it from him.
01:08:42He ain't going to give it back.
01:08:46Well, now Elijah, look at this.
01:08:48Oh, clobbering Trick Williams out on the apron.
01:08:54Elijah to the outside.
01:08:55Elijah understands the magnitude, not only of the opportunity, but of the task at hand.
01:09:00The mission for Elijah.
01:09:05And that is a lot of pressure to be on the back of one man.
01:09:10To carry the hopes of an entire brand, an entire locker room.
01:09:15There's no easy feat.
01:09:16He's got Trick lined up.
01:09:32He's at right where he wants him.
01:09:34Elijah on the move and a drive by knee by the Notorious Attraction.
01:09:42You can see backstage members of the TNA roster watching Elijah trying to capture the championship.
01:09:48Everybody waiting on bated breath for the outcome.
01:09:52You even see the former champion Joe Hendry there.
01:09:56Joe Hendry, who's gone on record, is saying,
01:09:58This is Elijah's moment, and I support him in this endeavor.
01:10:02Our confirmed director of authority, Santina Morello, watching.
01:10:07Zion Brookside, hell, even the tag team champions, the Nemitz.
01:10:10Mick Nemitz has been very outspoken on social media about Trick Williams being champion.
01:10:16Oh, and the knees there by Elijah.
01:10:18Beautifully done.
01:10:19Horked to the leg and a kick out by Williams.
01:10:26Does Elijah have the answer for Trick Williams here?
01:10:32So far, right now, in firm control of this matchup.
01:10:38Oh!
01:10:45Now Williams, out of the corner, trying to create a little bit of space.
01:10:48Oh, and a trick kick right to the face!
01:10:52Beautifully done there, right on the button.
01:10:54Can't take that away from the champion.
01:10:59Williams, full mount here.
01:11:01Big right-handed shots here on Elijah, and the champion trying to wear out the challenger.
01:11:10Oh, and a flapjack face first.
01:11:13Down goes Elijah Williams trying to retain, and a kick out!
01:11:16That flapjack right on to the TNA World title that Joe Hendry suffered would be lined up
01:11:28for Trick Williams to hit the trick shot and win that title.
01:11:35Back at battleground, that's how it all went down.
01:11:38Trick Williams took his opportunities to cut corners plenty that night.
01:11:48Williams, a blistering chop across the chest of Elijah.
01:11:53On Elijah.
01:11:54Elijah blocking.
01:11:55Now paying it back, tenfold here.
01:12:03Now Trick Williams fires back from underneath.
01:12:08And levels Elijah center of the ring.
01:12:11Looking for the cover.
01:12:12Trying to put this thing away, and a kick out by Elijah.
01:12:17So I take nothing away from the athlete, Trick Williams, two-time NXT champion,
01:12:23former NXT North American champion.
01:12:25But once he couldn't quite put it together, trying to reclaim the NXT championship,
01:12:30what happened?
01:12:31He got bitter.
01:12:32He started making excuses.
01:12:34Complaining.
01:12:34Blaming the fans.
01:12:35He turned into a whiny, you know what, in the words of Joe Hendry.
01:12:39And ultimately, when Hendry and Obafemi embarrassed Trick Williams on NXT,
01:12:44Trick set out on this vendetta to humiliate Hendry
01:12:48and take the TNA World Championship out of spite.
01:12:51Spite is a powerful, powerful motivator.
01:12:56Like it or not.
01:12:58And it was apparently exactly the one needed by Trick Williams to make some BAM history.
01:13:04That's disgusting.
01:13:17And a Trick Williams ripping away the turnbuckle pad.
01:13:23Clearly some more plans on the line.
01:13:25A Trick Williams there.
01:13:26A referee, Daniel Spencer, warning Williams.
01:13:32Down goes Williams.
01:13:35Elijah out of the corner.
01:13:36Hold on a second.
01:13:37Up onto the shoulders.
01:13:38Look at the strength!
01:13:40Absolutely incredible.
01:13:42Cover!
01:13:43Cover to retain!
01:13:44And a kick out by Elijah.
01:13:45And could Trick Williams be getting frustrated a little bit with Elijah staying in this fight?
01:14:02Elijah sent off of the ropes.
01:14:05And for another leg layer in it there.
01:14:06Elijah off of the ropes.
01:14:08Able to level Trick Williams.
01:14:10And an opportunity now for Elijah to get back in this thing.
01:14:14That's a huge opening.
01:14:16And one that Elijah needed.
01:14:21Remember, it was Elijah on NXT.
01:14:24A number of weeks ago, competed in an NXT Championship number one contenders battle royal match.
01:14:30He eliminated Trick Williams from that very matchup.
01:14:35Familiarity between these two, past and present.
01:14:38Now, finding a second wind here.
01:14:43Inverted atomic drop.
01:14:44Williams caught middle of the ring.
01:14:46Chopped there by Elijah.
01:14:47Trying to pick up the pace.
01:14:48A big boot.
01:14:49And down goes Trick.
01:14:55Elijah turning it up here late in the game.
01:15:03Elijah with a running forearm shiver.
01:15:05Oh, and a twisting neck breaker.
01:15:10Look to the inside leg.
01:15:11To win back the TNA World title and a kick out.
01:15:15Turning Trick Williams inside out.
01:15:19Oh, and a
01:15:39Now, what more does Elijah have left to put Trick away?
01:15:43Vaughn caught up onto the shoulders.
01:15:48Oh, it catches Williams.
01:15:50Is it time for Williams to drift away?
01:15:53Do we have a new champion?
01:15:54Oh, the right shoulder up in time.
01:15:57Just barely right in the nick of time.
01:16:00The resilience.
01:16:02A Trick Williams shining through.
01:16:04You can even see Elijah there shaking his head.
01:16:10He understands the ability Trick Williams has.
01:16:14TNA!
01:16:16TNA!
01:16:17TNA!
01:16:18TNA!
01:16:19TNA!
01:16:20TNA!
01:16:21TNA!
01:16:21Chance of TNA here tonight.
01:16:23The greater Phoenix area.
01:16:24Trying to support Elijah.
01:16:26At Against All Odds.
01:16:27Trying to cheer on Elijah.
01:16:29To bring back our World Championship.
01:16:31Stiff kick.
01:16:35Stiff boot there.
01:16:38Oh, wait a minute.
01:16:39Elijah able to counter.
01:16:42There it is!
01:16:44Did he get enough of it?
01:16:46Off the bookend.
01:16:47And a kick out by Elijah.
01:16:49Elijah won't quit.
01:16:51And a frustration building.
01:16:53And the TNA World Champion.
01:16:56We know how Trick Williams is.
01:16:58If he doesn't get what he wants, he throws a tantrum.
01:17:00Here's a cover.
01:17:01Elijah was able to stay in this thing after the bookend.
01:17:09Elijah may have kicked out, but that is an opening for Trick Williams now to take control once again.
01:17:17Trick is love!
01:17:19Trick is love!
01:17:20Trick is love!
01:17:20Trick is love!
01:17:21Trick is love!
01:17:22Trick is love!
01:17:22Oh!
01:17:22Oh!
01:17:22Oh!
01:17:23Oh!
01:17:23Oh!
01:17:24Oh!
01:17:25Oh!
01:17:26Oh!
01:17:27Oh!
01:17:28Oh!
01:17:29Oh!
01:17:30Oh!
01:17:31Oh!
01:17:32Oh!
01:17:33Oh!
01:17:34Oh!
01:17:35Oh!
01:17:36Oh!
01:17:37Oh!
01:17:38Oh!
01:17:39Oh!
01:17:40Oh!
01:17:41Oh!
01:17:42Oh!
01:17:43Oh!
01:17:44Oh!
01:17:45Oh!
01:17:46Oh!
01:17:47Oh!
01:17:48Oh!
01:17:49Oh!
01:17:50Oh!
01:17:51Oh!
01:17:52Williams go for a spin.
01:17:55The champion's down.
01:17:56Oh, to the inside leg.
01:17:58Williams kicks out.
01:18:05Great work there from Elijah.
01:18:09Take another look here.
01:18:10Spinning the champ around and flattening him.
01:18:14But still not quite enough to put Williams away.
01:18:20Back to live action.
01:18:21And the match continues.
01:18:22Williams trying to surprise Elijah in a kickout.
01:18:27Well, now Elijah.
01:18:28Elijah going for a backslide.
01:18:30Trying to win the TNA World title in a kickout.
01:18:35Back and forth here on the back end.
01:18:38Sunset flip.
01:18:39Trying to press the shoulders down.
01:18:41Williams able to kick out.
01:18:43Elijah off of the ropes.
01:18:46On a pull-up punch.
01:18:51And Elijah sent all the way out of the ring.
01:19:00And now Williams was going for a baseball slide, it looked like.
01:19:03Oh, now Elijah.
01:19:06Oh, Elijah caught him on the outside with a twisting neckbreaker.
01:19:10But he's got to get the champ in the ring.
01:19:17He's got to get Williams into the center of the canvas if he wants to beat him.
01:19:22And he brings the title home.
01:19:28Williams back inside.
01:19:30Champions advantage.
01:19:32Elijah trying to close this thing out.
01:19:34Trying to bring back the TNA World Championship.
01:19:38Trick Williams is down.
01:19:39Can this be it?
01:19:41Huge elbow drop from Elijah.
01:19:44Is it enough?
01:19:45Is it enough?
01:19:46Oh, Trick Williams kicked at it too.
01:19:49Just barely though.
01:19:51But just barely was enough that time.
01:19:55Heavy impact with the elbow drop here from Elijah.
01:19:58Look at this.
01:20:00Precision by Elijah.
01:20:03Dropping all this frame there on the chest and neck of Trick Williams.
01:20:07But the champion is still in it.
01:20:12Both guys here digging deep into the playbook.
01:20:16To find what it's going to take to walk out of here with gold.
01:20:25Now Elijah trying to figure out what he has to do to put away Trick Williams.
01:20:30Going up to the top turnbuckle to go get him.
01:20:34Wait, wait, wait.
01:20:35Oh, wait.
01:20:36Wait a minute.
01:20:37See that on the back of the screen?
01:20:39It's A.J. Francis.
01:20:42A.J. Francis who attacked Santana from behind with a champagne bottle.
01:20:48The knee strike wasn't enough.
01:20:51A.J. Francis is out here.
01:20:53I think he said, I got you to Trick Williams.
01:20:55Oh, Elijah.
01:20:56Oh, Elijah.
01:20:58Elijah is trying to muscle up Trick Williams.
01:21:01Oh, wait a minute.
01:21:02Francis tripped up Elijah.
01:21:05Cover.
01:21:05Wait, wait, wait.
01:21:06Oh, and a kick out.
01:21:09Just barely.
01:21:10Francis playing once again an integral role in this championship matchup.
01:21:18An integral role.
01:21:19He betrayed TNA Wrestling on Tuesday.
01:21:21And he's furthering that tonight.
01:21:23And he's furthering that tonight.
01:21:25Paying dividends for Trick Williams.
01:21:31And now Elijah takes out Francis.
01:21:34That means he's got to take his eyes off Trick Williams.
01:21:41This is Grant and Elijah's guitar.
01:21:43And Elijah, to your point, is focused on Francis.
01:21:46Realizes he's got to take him out of the equation.
01:21:49Francis frames first into the steel post.
01:21:51Hold up, hold up.
01:21:52Wait a second.
01:21:53Wait a second.
01:21:54Whoa.
01:21:55Taking a swing at Elijah with the guitar.
01:21:58Elijah.
01:21:59Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:22:00Disarming Trick.
01:22:01Wait a second.
01:22:02You don't want to get disqualified.
01:22:04Not in a title match.
01:22:05Elijah, think about the championship and a referee trying to take the guitar.
01:22:10Francis handed the title belt to Williams.
01:22:13Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:22:14Oh, my God.
01:22:15Not like this.
01:22:16Are you kidding me?
01:22:17The referee didn't see it.
01:22:19Oh, Elijah kicked out.
01:22:24Come on, Elijah.
01:22:27Much to the chagrin of Francis and Williams.
