00:00Ladies and gentlemen, I'm standing by with Tessa Blanchard.
00:04Tessa, you return to action tonight and in an 8-4-1 match, no less.
00:08I mean, an 8-knockouts tag with the winning team facing off in a four-way
00:12and the winner becoming the number one contender for the knockouts world title.
00:17What's your mindset heading into a match with so many variables?
00:20Gia, look who decided to show up to work again.
00:24I mean, your stand-in had a way better personality and asked way better questions,
00:28but since you have a hard time following along, let me spell it out for you.
00:338-6-4-2-20. You could put the whole damn locker room out there.
00:38It doesn't make a difference. The result is the same.
00:42Me.
00:43So after tonight, there won't be a question.
00:46I will be the number one contender.
00:48And everybody else, just in the way.
00:52Well, with that...
00:52Stop, Gia. Stop. That right there, that is your problem.
00:56That is exactly what I'm talking about.
00:59You think that standing here with a microphone asking recycled questions,
01:03it makes you relevant.
01:07After tonight, when they're picking up what's left of everybody else,
01:11this division, they're going to realize, they're going to understand
01:14that they don't need a leader.
01:17They need a reminder of who built it.
01:19One match is back for the first time in over a year.
01:27Who will become the number one contender to the TNA Knockouts World Champion,
01:32Masha Slamovich?

02:11We are getting ready for the 8-4-1 match to determine the number one contender
02:20to the TNA Knockouts World Champion, right here on Impact.
02:31Introducing first, from the Undead Realm, Rosemary!
02:38Hey, well, the last time we saw Rosemary in action,
02:41she was competing in Monster's Ball up against Zaya Brookside.
02:45Brookside managed to outdo the Devil that night.
02:50In the Devil's Playground, nonetheless, of Monster's Ball,
02:54a whole new side of Zaya Brookside coming out for the world to see.
02:59You have to wonder if the situation, like, once it's out of the bag,
03:03can you really put it back in, a new version of Zaya Brookside
03:07thanks to that woman right there, the Demon Assassin.
03:11The challenge of the 8-4-1 match is that Rosemary and Zaya Brookside
03:15will be teammates to start this day off.
03:24From Camden London, Danny Luna!
03:29Speaking of teams, the team known as Spitfire is no more as of Under Siege.
03:36Danny Luna and Jodie Threat have gone their separate ways,
03:39and now Danny Luna diving into this 8-4-1 match.
03:44She will be opposite Jodie Threat in the 8 Knockout Tag Course.
03:51Undeniable.
03:51For effort.
04:02Diamonds.
04:03For effort.
04:10Accompanied by Victoria Crocker
04:13from Charlotte, North Carolina,
04:15the Undeniable Diamond,
04:20Tessa Blanchard!
04:24And Tessa Blanchard returning to action
04:27after suffering a case of TMJ
04:29after a match with Ariana Grace some weeks back.
04:33The Undeniable Diamond has recovered in this
04:35once again set her eyes on the golden opportunity
04:39with the Knockouts World Title.
04:41Fans get the loudest, haters get the maddest.
04:49From Liverpool, England,
04:53Zaya Brookside!
04:56I mentioned moments ago,
04:58Oxfam's wall between Rosemary and Zaya.
05:00Brookside went Zaya's way.
05:02Then the countdown to against all odds.
05:05A six knockouts tag team matchup
05:06for the Elegance Grand One
05:07against Brookside, Harley Hudson,
05:09and Myla Grace.
05:11But Zaya Brookside looking to challenge
05:13for the Knockouts World Title
05:14for the first time in over a year.
05:21From Toronto, Ontario, Canada,
05:24Jody Brett!
05:26Well, Tom, you mentioned it earlier.
05:29I mean, Zaya Brookside's gonna have to team
05:31with a former foe in Rosemary.
05:33Jody Brett is gonna have to face off
05:35against a former tag team partner.
05:37And Danny Luna, this is the issue
05:39of the 8-4-1 match.
05:52We asked a question earlier,
05:54the Jason Hodges match against Leon Slater.
05:57Is everything truly all right
05:59amidst Order 4?
06:00From Brick City, New Jersey,
06:04representing Order 4,
06:07Tasha Steels!
06:13We are set to determine
06:15the future number one contender
06:17to the TNA Knockouts World Champion,
06:20Masha Slamovich,
06:21in the 8-4-1 match.
06:24This will begin as an 8-knockouts tag team matchup.
06:27The winning team will then break off
06:28and compete against each other
06:30in a four-way matchup.
06:32The winner will go on to challenge
06:34Slamovich for the title.
06:35Next, from the last man, Portugal,
06:56Killer Kelly!
06:57Now, one of the surprises
07:00of Against All Odds came after
07:02the Knockouts World Title match,
07:04the hard-hitting affair
07:05between Masha Slamovich
07:06and Lane Lee.
07:07Lee put up a hell of a fight,
07:08but Slamovich walked out
07:10with the championship.
07:11It was after the fact
07:12that Killer Kelly
07:13made her return
07:14to TNA Wrestling,
07:16dropping a chain
07:17at the feet
07:18of Masha Slamovich.
07:20Remember,
07:20that steel chain
07:21was the signature,
07:23the calling card
07:23of the team known as
07:24MKUltra,
07:26Killer Kelly,
07:27and Masha Slamovich.
07:28It was after the fact
07:29on TNA social
07:30and digital platforms
07:31that Masha Slamovich said,
07:33quote,
07:33we're supposed to be bound
07:34by chains,
07:35by violence.
07:36Well, the one thing
07:36you don't remember
07:37is your place.
07:39MKUltra is no longer
07:40in the picture.
07:41The Knockouts World Championship
07:43is for me.
07:44Kelly got the champ's attention.
07:46There's no doubt
07:47about it,
07:47Killer Kelly
07:48looks to send a message
07:50to the champion
07:51at Against All Odds.
07:53And from Melbourne,
08:12Australia,
08:14Indy Hartwell.
08:19Meanwhile,
08:19it was Hartwell
08:20who joined us
08:21on commentary
08:22at Against All Odds
08:23for Slamovich vs. Lee
08:25for the Knockouts
08:25World Championship.
08:27You can watch that back
08:28anytime on demand
08:29right now
08:29on TNA+.
08:30Mindy Hartwell
08:32rounding out the field
08:34for the 8-4-1 match.
08:36The teams are this.
08:37Hartwell,
08:38Kelly,
08:39Steele's in threat
08:40up against
08:41Rosemary,
08:42Luna,
08:43Brookside,
08:43and Blanchard.
08:44This will be a standard
08:45eight-knockouts
08:46tag team match
08:47to start.
08:47The winning team
08:49will then break off
08:50and compete
08:51against each other
08:52in a four-way matchup
08:54where there are no
08:54countouts
08:55and no disqualifications.
08:56The winner of the four-ways
08:58will go on
08:59to challenge Slamovich
09:00for the Knockouts
09:01World Title
09:02in the future.
09:03And this
09:04is the dichotomy
09:06of this matchup.
09:07This is the conundrum
09:08of this matchup.
09:10The very people
09:10you are teaming with
09:12presumably,
09:14if you are successful,
09:15are going to be
09:16the very people
09:17you will be facing
09:18off with moments later.
09:19Natasha Steele's
09:20just tagged in
09:21Jody Threat,
09:23Danny Luna's
09:24former tag team partner
09:25and the team
09:26known as Spitfire,
09:28multi-time
09:28Knockouts World
09:29Tag Team Champions.
09:31I mean,
09:32luckily for Spitfire,
09:33to be fair,
09:34there are no strangers
09:35facing off against
09:36each other.
09:37Iron sharpens iron,
09:38as you often like to say.
09:39You know,
09:40we saw them do it
09:40even as a tag team
09:42once upon a time.
09:42Now,
09:43last year,
09:43I believe,
09:44it was in Philadelphia.
09:44That was instructed
09:46by the punk rock icon,
09:48Lars Fredrickson,
09:49who has been a mentor
09:50to Luna and Threat.
09:51Here's a cover
09:52and a kick out.
09:55Now,
09:55both women trying
09:56to go their separate ways
09:57here,
09:57but this is the challenge
09:59of the 8-4-1 match.
10:02Well,
10:03they had to go
10:03their separate ways
10:04courtesy of the stipulation
10:06that you were pointing
10:07earlier at Under Siege.
10:08now all focused
10:09on solo accomplishments.
10:12Let's go for the Luna landing there.
10:14Now,
10:14shoulders down,
10:15kick out by Luna.
10:16Very evenly matched
10:17between these two.
10:18Threat.
10:18Look at that.
10:19They know each other so well.
10:21Cover here,
10:22cover,
10:22and a kick out.
10:24Oh.
10:28And just a glimpse
10:29into why Luna and Threat
10:31won two Knockouts
10:32World Tag Team titles together
10:33in the team known
10:34as Spitfire.
10:35And now,
10:36Jody Threat
10:37tags in Tasha Steeles.
10:42You can only imagine
10:43where Tasha Steeles'
10:44head is at
10:45after what happened
10:45at Against All Odds
10:47between Jason Hotch,
10:48Musfali,
10:49and John Skyler.
10:50I want to know,
10:51who has Tasha Steeles
10:52been calling
10:53and trying to call
10:54and get in touch with?
10:56Clearly something.
10:57Oh.
10:58Thumb to the eye.
10:59Someone she believes
11:00could have some kind
11:01of effect
11:01on Musfali.
11:03Hopefully,
11:04will,
11:05and not just me,
11:06but Order 4
11:07will get to the bottom
11:07of that.
11:08You've seen on
11:08CNA social
11:09and digital platforms,
11:10Musfali took the phone
11:12from Tasha Steeles.
11:14Musfali knows
11:15who made that call.
11:16Doesn't seem too pleased
11:17either.
11:18Meanwhile,
11:19Steeles,
11:19I am stunned
11:21to see her out here
11:21competing even in
11:22an Order 4 t-shirt.
11:24The fact that she's
11:25fawn in line
11:26with the rest of Order 4
11:27astonishes me.
11:29Look,
11:29there's been a lot
11:30of turmoil.
11:30We saw everything
11:31that went down
11:32in the last couple
11:33of weeks
11:33and at against
11:34all odds.
11:34But look,
11:36the man
11:36is as accomplished
11:37as he is
11:38for a reason.
11:39He's a leader
11:39for a reason.
11:41It may not be
11:42something very clear
11:42to us
11:43from the outside.
11:44Cover by Brookside
11:46trying to win
11:46the eight knockouts
11:47tag portion
11:48of the 8-4-1 match.
11:50I have Brookside
11:50showing very little
11:52hesitation
11:52and now tags in
11:54Rosemary,
11:56her Monsters Ball
11:57opponent.
12:00And Zia Brookside
12:01more than happy
12:02to hand up.
12:03Whoa, whoa, whoa,
12:04Rosemary choking
12:06Zia Brookside
12:07and now Steeles
12:08getting the attention
12:09of Rosemary
12:10trying to win
12:11the match for her team
12:12so that Steeles
12:13and company
12:13can advance.
12:14Some leftover
12:15frustrations there
12:16from that
12:16Monsters Ball
12:17match,
12:18clearly.
12:18Whoa, whoa, whoa,
12:19Rosemary rising up
12:21on a tag made.
12:24In comes
12:25Killer Kelly.
12:30And a twisted match
12:31made in hell
12:32right here.
12:35Oh!
12:37Killer Kelly
12:38might be one
12:39of the few minds
12:40that isn't afraid
12:41of Rosemary
12:43instead is
12:43enticed by this.
12:45Back and forth
12:46literally.
12:48Trying to knock
12:49each other's lights
12:50out.
12:55Now Killer Kelly
12:56close range
12:58with an E-strikes.
12:59Ooh,
13:00gnarly neck breaker.
13:02Shot right
13:03to the back
13:03of the head.
13:04Here's the cutter.
13:06Shoulders down
13:06to advance
13:07and a kick out.
13:09A brutal
13:09beep down
13:10at the hands
13:10of Killer Kelly
13:11here.
13:13Tag made
13:13Jody Threat
13:14is legal.
13:19And once again,
13:21if you are
13:23ultimately successful
13:24in this portion
13:24of the matchup,
13:25you're gonna have
13:25to immediately
13:26turn around
13:27and start beating
13:28up the people
13:29you've been teaming
13:30with.
13:31Jody Threat
13:32and face first
13:33into the middle
13:34turnbuckle.
13:34Remember,
13:35this begins,
13:36obviously,
13:36this is an eight
13:37knockouts tag team
13:38matchup.
13:38The winning team
13:39then goes on
13:40to face each other
13:41in a four-way.
13:42Blanchard trying to
13:43advance her team
13:44in a kick out.
13:45Once you're into
13:46that four-way matchup,
13:47there are no countouts.
13:48There are no
13:48disqualifications.
13:49Standard four-way match
13:50rules apply.
13:52Whoever wins that
13:53will challenge
13:53Masha Slamovich
13:55for the TNA
13:55Knockouts World
13:56Championship
13:57in the future.
13:59There's Victoria
14:00Crawford who has
14:01become quite close
14:03with Tessa Blanchard
14:04thanks to the
14:04dearly departed
14:05Robert Stone.
14:06That was a shame
14:07what happened to him
14:08earlier tonight,
14:08wasn't it?
14:09No, I wish he'd
14:09gotten punched
14:10harder in the face.
14:11Well, hey,
14:11he just wanted to
14:12come say goodbye
14:13to everybody.
14:13Oh, I expect
14:14to get punched
14:15right in the face.
14:15Blanchard taking
14:16a cheap shot
14:17at Indy Hartwell.
14:18What the hell
14:19was that all about?
14:21Literally sending
14:21a message
14:22to that side
14:23of the ring.
14:24But look out,
14:25look out!
14:25Oh, and I'm in.
14:26Now Thwin
14:26going for the
14:27cover kick out.
14:30Our referee,
14:31Daniel Spencer,
14:31trying to control
14:32this situation
14:33with all these
14:34parties involved.
14:35Now, Blanchard
14:35has tagged Luna.
14:37Looks like nobody
14:37on that side of the ring
14:38wanted to tag Blanchard.
14:41Tessa forcing
14:42the tag onto Luna there.
14:43Yeah, Blanchard
14:44putting Luna
14:44in a difficult situation.
14:46I don't believe
14:47Daniel Luna
14:47would want to
14:48pick the bones
14:49against her former
14:50tag team partner,
14:51Jody Threat.
14:52To that point,
14:53immediately tagging
14:54in Rosemary.
14:56Daniel Luna
14:56wanting no part of that.
14:58I don't know
14:59how wise that is,
14:59though.
15:00Look, you want
15:01your separate raise.
15:02You have to focus
15:02on yourself now.
15:04And you've got to
15:05win this portion
15:05of the match
15:06to get an opportunity
15:07at the number one
15:08contender.
15:08Threat sent
15:09into the corner.
15:10Rosemary went
15:11for the spear
15:12and missed.
15:12Blanchard tagged
15:13himself in.
15:14And there's
15:15the undeniable
15:16Diamond,
15:16the two-time
15:17world champion
15:18here in TNA.
15:24Now Threat.
15:25Oh!
15:26Oh!
15:26Threat got
15:27out of the way.
15:29Just in the nick of time,
15:30but Blanchard's
15:31still on top
15:31of things here.
15:35Blanchard tagged
15:36down by Rosemary.
15:37And a Johnny Threat
15:39brings in Indy Hartwell.
15:42Hartwell
15:43clearing house
15:45here,
15:45turning things
15:46and turning
15:46Rosemary
15:47upside down.
15:50Spinebuster
15:51by Indy Wrestling.
15:53Cover!
15:54It's broken up
15:54by Luna.
15:57Everything's
15:57starting to break
15:58down.
15:58Killer Kelly
15:59into the fray.
16:03Oh!
16:04Plenty of battles
16:05in the past
16:06between MKUltra
16:07and Spitfire.
16:08Double knees
16:09by Tasha Steeles.
16:13And now Steeles
16:14with the cutter!
16:17And I believe
16:18Blanchard
16:19has just left.
16:23Left her team
16:24high and dry.
16:26Pump,
16:27shoved it
16:28by Jody Threat.
16:31Think you're right,
16:32Ray.
16:32Wanted a spear
16:33there by Rosemary.
16:34Everybody getting
16:35their pound of flesh
16:36here,
16:36but look out!
16:38Hurts
16:39don't it!
16:40Hartwell
16:41to cover!
16:42Two,
16:43three,
16:43Hartwell's team
16:44now moves
16:45onto the four-way.
16:48The winners
16:49are the team
16:50of Indy Hartwell,
16:51Killer Kelly,
16:52Tasha Steeles,
16:54and...
