00:00We're ready for knockouts action.

00:02One, two, three, four, five.

00:04Cunning Contest is scheduled for one call.

00:07Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Victoria Russell,

00:12from Charlotte, North Carolina, she is the undeniable diamond,

00:20Tessa Blainsford.

00:24This Sunday live on Pay Per View and TNA Plus at the UBS Arena on Long Island,

00:29New York, it'll be Tessa Blanchard one-on-one with Indy Hartwell at Slammiversary.

00:36And last week, Tessa Blanchard had a front row seat to watch Indy Hartwell compete

00:43and had a couple of words to share with us right here on Commentary.

00:47There is a lot brewing beneath the surface between those two.

00:52And her opponent from London, England, Dany Luna!

01:06Great opportunity here for Dany Luna.

01:09As we approach Slammiversary, Dany Luna was a part of the Same Battle Royal

01:13a few weeks ago to determine the number one contender

01:16for the Knockout World Championship.

01:18Same Battle Royal that both Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard took part in.

01:23Dany Luna got tied up in a situation with her former tag team partner,

01:27Jody Drett from a team known as Spitfire,

01:29were trying to have an allegiance within that matchup.

01:32It backfired, and Luna was eliminated.

01:35We heard from Dany Luna not too long ago that she knows how competitive

01:40this Knockouts division is, and now that she is here striking out on her own,

01:45she is looking to build that momentum to a potential world title shot one day.

01:52You know that is all over the mind of Dany Luna.

01:55If you're able to take out a two-time world champion and Tessa Blanchard

01:59here tonight on Impact, that would go a long way for Dany Luna building a case.

02:04We know what's coming up this Sunday in regards to the Knockouts World Championship.

02:09Masha Slamovich the champion versus the NXT Women's Champion,

02:13J.C. Jain, it's winner takes all at Slammiversary.

02:18And for someone like Dany Luna, or quite frankly, we know Tessa Blanchard

02:23has made no bones about having championship aspirations.

02:27I mean, to potentially have our Knockouts Champion also carrying NXT gold,

02:32there's gonna be a lot of eyes and a lot of targets on Masha Slamovich.

02:36Think about the reaction in both companies.

02:38Here's the cover, shoulders down, and a kick out.

02:41We know a little something about that.

02:43Yep.

02:44When Trick Williams, of course, won the TNA World Championship

02:50and took it from the TNA locker room.

02:53We got an earful from Trick Williams last week on commentary on the main event.

02:57Yeah, you kiss ass.

02:59Meanwhile, later on tonight, the TNA World Champion himself, Trick Williams,

03:03will be in action alongside Frankie Kazarian

03:05up against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana, a preview of the main event of Slammiversary.

03:11Right now, it is Tessa Blanchard looking to build her own momentum,

03:18heading into that match with Indy Hartwell.

03:20A very personal matchup that's gonna go down at Slammiversary,

03:24a deep-rooted history, a sordid history, as we've heard from both of them.

03:28Yeah, what do you think about the stories we've heard from both Blanchard and Hartwell?

03:31Where do you side on this?

03:32It's tough because, quite frankly, they've actually both shared as far as this information goes.

03:38They kind of are on the same page as the way-

03:40Oh, God!

03:41Wait a second!

03:42Hold the phone!

03:44A nasty landing for Luna.

03:47Cover by Blanchard.

03:48Cover here and a kick-out.

03:50Swarm in the face, another cover and a kick-out.

03:53Luna is one tough piece right here.

03:58My God, that was nasty.

03:59But as I was saying, both Indy Hartwell and Tessa Blanchard have shared the same story that, indeed,

04:05Tessa Blanchard did a lot for Indy in those early days.

04:10But it's the way Tessa Blanchard feels almost wholly responsible in her own mind for the career of Indy Hartwell from then and since.

04:20That's where Indy Hartwell disagrees.

04:22Elbow drop, cover.

04:23Luna showing a lot of toughness kicking out here against Blanchard.

04:27The one thing Indy Hartwell's brought up is accountability.

04:30Saying that Tessa Blanchard never takes accountability for anything.

04:35And hear how the fans in Pittsburgh feel about Tessa Blanchard.

04:39Listen, I think there's a lot of jealousy that is coming from Tessa Blanchard.

04:44The fact that Indy Hartwell got an opportunity with WWE and was welcomed here with DNA Wrestling in a huge way.

04:51And the same night, by the way, at Rebellion.

04:54And we saw Tessa Blanchard challenging for the Knockouts World Title against Slamovich.

04:59Here's a cover and a kick-out by Luna.

05:01Tessa has never been, if you've known anything about her, has never been someone who loves to share the spotlight.

05:09That is for damn sure, especially, I can kind of see where she's coming from.

05:14When someone who you basically helped get a leg up in this industry comes in and maybe does shed some of that spotlight away from you

05:22when you were trying to score your biggest opportunity to date.

05:26It's a little unnerving, if you will.

05:30And a pull!

05:35DDT to the leg.

05:39And here's the thing, at the end of the day, whether you agree with Blanchard or not, which of course,

05:44many people here in Pittsburgh certainly do not agree with the actions, with the motivations of Tessa Blanchard.

05:52At the end of the day, the work gets done within the squared circle.

05:56And there are few who are better at getting that work done than the undeniable diving.

06:05Inside the ring, look at Tessa Blanchard tying up Danny Luna.

06:11Oh!

06:12This is a guillotine!

06:15This is indeed for Blanchard.

06:17And now the body scissors to boot.

06:21Trying to squeeze the air out of Danny Luna both between the ribs and the throat.

06:30Luna trying to hang on here against Tessa Blanchard.

06:33That's how much longer.

06:35And wait, look at this.

06:37Oh!

06:38We know Luna is a powerful competitor, but when you have no oxygen, there's only so much you can do.

06:45But look at this.

06:47Blanchard tried to take away the base of Danny Luna earlier on.

06:52But Luna just too strong to the point.

06:55Look at that counter into the suplex.

06:58Unreal, unreal strength from Danny Luna.

07:03And now the playing field is back to an even base here.

07:18Danny Luna has an opportunity after Blanchard has been so dominant.

07:22Who can get to their feet first?

07:25Blanchard and Luna both back up to their feet.

07:35What a battle this is for both these knockouts.

07:38Just days before Slammiversary.

07:40Luna really proving what she's all about here tonight.

07:43Luna is ready to step up to the plate, step up to the toughest the knockouts division has to offer.

07:52What a kick to the head by Luna.

07:56Just throwing everything into it.

07:59Up onto the shoulders, thinking about the Luna landing.

08:02Blanchard felt it coming.

08:04Single leg drop kick there by Luna.

08:09And Luna continuing to rally here.

08:12Blanchard keeps trying to put up an offense, but Luna has an answer.

08:17I have to imagine that safe somewhere.

08:23Indy Hartwell has a very close eye on this, on this one.

08:28Now Luna, a dump there.

08:35Hold on, one for the cover.

08:36Blanchard attempting the kick.

08:38Oh, the power bomb.

08:43Stacking up Blanchard.

08:45Oh, and the left shoulder up in time.

08:49Just in the nick of time, much of the chagrin of Luna.

08:58But right here, right here deep in this contest, this is where Luna needs to press her advantage.

09:05Pedal to the medal.

09:07Put away a former world champion.

09:09Up onto the shoulders once again, thinking about the Luna landing.

09:13Blanchard able to avoid it.

09:15Oh!

09:16Open palm strike.

09:17And you heard that almost guttural yell from Blanchard.

09:22I have to imagine she is imprinting the face of Indy Hartwell right now.

09:27On to Dani Luna ahead of Slammiversary.

09:30Now Luna from the middle rope.

09:34Oh!

09:35Was trying to set up there.

09:36Blanchard cut her down quickly.

09:38Now lined up.

09:39Oh!

09:40Double knees!

09:41The code breaker out of the corner!

09:44Cover!

09:45Dani Luna is still alive!

09:47And Tessa Blanchard cannot believe it.

09:54See that nastiness in Tessa Blanchard.

09:58She does not want to head into that match with Indy Hartwell.

10:03Oh!

10:04With a loss just days before.

10:06Hartwell was able to dispatch Victoria Crawford last week.

10:16Now Blanchard trying to follow through to pick up a win.

10:19We're thinking about Magnum!

10:21The double knees!

10:23Unreal strength again from Luna!

10:26Blue thunder bomb!

10:28Blanchard able to kick out at two!

10:31One rush!

10:32Count to three!

10:35So very close.

10:40Luna keeps finding answers for Blanchard here.

10:46And again, thinking about the Luna landing.

10:49Luna trying to end this thing.

10:52Blanchard now fighting.

10:53Come on, and Victoria Crawford getting involved.

10:56The referee Al is slain.

10:58Warning, Crawford!

10:59Ooh!

11:00Shot right to the back of the head there by Blanchard.

11:02One, two, one!

11:04And now, man!

11:05Ooh!

11:06To the top!

11:07Cover!

11:08One, two, three!

11:10Blanchard tooks away Luna!

11:11Here is our winner, Tessa Blanchard!

11:21Period, on the sentence, exclamation point, if you will.

11:25Ooh!

11:27Looking into the camera as if staring a hole through Indy Hartwell.

11:32I know, wait a second.

11:33Oh, now Crawford and Blanchard attacking Luna after a hard-fought match!

11:38Hold on a second!

11:40I knew she wasn't far behind.

11:43Indy Hartwell here!

11:45And Blanchard heading for higher ground.

11:47Indy Hartwell not gonna stand for that attack by Blanchard and Crawford.

11:52This Sunday live with Pay Per View and TNA Plus is to settle the score at Slam Horsery.

12:11Tessa!

12:12Tessa!

12:13Tessa!

12:14You wanna talk about friendship.

12:18Every friend you've ever had, you've turned your back on.

12:24You haven't known me in six years, but at Slam Horsery, you're gonna get to know me, bitch!

12:36Horsh words ahead of Slam Horsery.

12:49Well, in New York, former friends are gonna settle scores when Hartwell and Blanchard go one-on-one at Slam Horsery.

13:00Julie Lamperser.

13:01You takens it, giver the seat.

13:03You should see them as you see!

13:07Take your breath and take him right!
