04:32Hard rest when the war is over each day.
04:34Feel closer to the stars.
04:36How can we not keep going?
04:38We already came this far, so let's do something.
04:44Puerto Rico, the king of New York is home.
04:50Make some noise for San San.
04:51She caught us in.
04:59They singing it.
05:23Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

07:05Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
07:35Oh, oh, oh, oh.
08:05One day, Jake!
08:07One day, Jake!
08:09One day, Jake!
08:11One day, Jake!
08:13One day, Jake!
08:15One day, Jake!
08:17One day, Jake!
08:19One day, Jake!
08:21The following is a triple threat match
08:32for the TNA World Championship.
08:41Introducing first the challengers
08:44from Edinburgh, Scotland.
08:47Weighing in at 252 pounds
08:51of pure motivation,
08:56we believe in Joe Hendry.
09:13Next.
09:17From the Bronx, New York.
09:20Weighing in at 230 pounds,
09:25Mike Santana.
09:43And their opponent, from Columbia, South Carolina,
10:11weighing in at 240 pounds, he is the TNA World Champion,
10:24Trent Williams!
10:41We are set to cap off perhaps the most phenomenal night in the history of TNA Wrestling with the TNA World Championship.
11:03Joe Hendry is seeking his redemption. Mike Santana wants to bring our world title home in his home of New York.
11:13Meanwhile, the champion belongs to NXT and wants to see Trick and A live on.
11:20Who's gonna walk out of Slammiversary as the TNA World Champion?
11:28On a night full of history and broken records, it all leads to this.
11:33And oh! Off it goes!
11:37Guys, I don't know if I've ever felt a crowd more alive.
11:41I've never seen a competitor like Mike Santana have more of a home field advantage this night.
11:45Hendry and Santana have had the team together as we've seen over the last few weeks.
11:50It's been contentious. They have worked together well at times, but I've said it for a number of weeks.
11:55It's every man for himself in this triple threat match.
11:59Trick Williams, he don't gotta be pinned or submitted to lose that title.
12:03It can go down to just these two if they want.
12:05Great point, Matt. You know what I would do?
12:07I would get myself countered out, I'd get myself disqualified,
12:09to do whatever it takes to hold that title.
12:11If Joe Hendry would have done that, he would have never lost that title,
12:14and an outsider would not now be the champion.
12:16Well, to your point, maybe he could have done that at WWE Battleground,
12:19but Joe Hendry's a better man than you.
12:21This is a triple threat match.
12:22Joe Hendry's a dumber man than me.
12:23There are no count outs, no disqualifications in this matchup.
12:26First man again, Ben Forrest submission in the ring will walk out as the TNA World Champion.
12:31See, Trick is smart right now.
12:33He's staying out.
12:35He's gonna take advantage of if and when there is a penitent.
12:38You watch.
12:39And let's understand the gravity of the evening thus far.
12:41As it stands right now, both of TNA's World Championships belong to NXT wrestlers.
12:47JC Jane, earlier on tonight, made history.
12:49The first double champion ever between TNA and WWE simultaneously.
12:54TNA cannot afford to see Trick Williams leave with the TNA World title.
13:00And that's exactly what Mike Santana and Joe Hendry have been fighting for
13:05for the past several months.
13:07And me.
13:08I mean, to be fair, Frank, I love you, man.
13:12You've been teaming with Trick Williams on occasions now.
13:15You know why?
13:16Because often, actually always, I'm the smartest man in the room.
13:20In this scenario, Trick Williams is the smartest man in the room.
13:23In this scenario, Trick Williams is the smartest man in the room.
13:24He's beat both these competitors.
13:26He is the TNA World Champion, and I respect that.
13:28He's cheated.
13:29He's cheated to do it both times, Frankie.
13:30Now, Santana.
13:31Here's his arm drags here against Joe Hendry.
13:34May the best man win between Hendry and Santana.
13:37Oh, went for Spin the Block, and Joe Hendry able to evade.
13:44Spin of his own.
13:46That's an answer.
13:47Sitting right here.
13:50Oh, no, there's Trick Williams into the fray, clobbering Santana and Hendry.
13:56They weren't paying attention.
13:57You gotta have your head on a swivel in these matches.
13:59Trust me, I've been in hundreds of triple threat matches.
14:02They're very dangerous.
14:03I mean, there's no doubt about it.
14:04I mean, your opponent is literally named Trick Williams.
14:07You gotta watch out for someone like that.
14:09As much pride as they may have in fighting one another.
14:12Grant, while you're sitting here, I do have to get your opinion and your thoughts
14:16on what we saw earlier on tonight.
14:18AJ Styles returning to TNA Wrestling for the first time in over 11 years.
14:23Tom, I have a lot of thoughts about that, and I'm just not gonna share them with you.
14:31I'm certainly not gonna share them with you.
14:33When I do feel like I wanna share them, the whole world will not.
14:37Focusing back on the matchup here.
14:39Oh, standing Urenaki there by Trick Williams trying to retain the title.
14:43Hendry able to kick out.
14:45By the way, don't try to get personal after all these months.
14:48Right now, Trick Williams laying it down in the ring.
14:54Got rid of Santana.
14:56Mike Santana out of the picture, and now it is down to the same scenario.
15:01The TNA title was lost in Trick Williams and Joe Hendry.
15:05He's isolating.
15:07That's what you need to do.
15:08Trying to hold onto the championship.
15:10Hendry able to kick out.
15:11Oh, and Mike Santana got up on the apron for just a second.
15:17High ground right there.
15:18And Trick Williams doing the smart thing, whether you like it or not.
15:21Yes.
15:22Holding the high ground.
15:23Holding onto the ring.
15:24Getting it down to Frankie Kazarian's point to a one-on-one scenario.
15:27Making sure the third man is eliminated any time they try to come back in.
15:31He can't deny that strategy.
15:33Oh, double shot to the throat there by Trick Williams.
15:37Trick has to be careful.
15:38He could get screwed the same way I did in Los Angeles.
15:41I was not pinned, but I did not win the match.
15:44Trick has to be careful.
15:45Oh, hold on, guillotine here by Trick Williams.
15:48That's a big man to have that body weight choking you.
15:51Look at Hendry.
15:52Hendry not going down.
15:54He's strong, man.
15:55I can't stand him, but he's strong.
15:58Look at this.
15:59Look at this.
16:00252 pounds of pure motivation.
16:03Joe Hendry pushes through and counters with a suplex.
16:07How much did that take out of Hendry just to hoist the mass?
16:13That is Trick Williams up there.
16:15Trick Williams back up to his feet.
16:19Same with Joe Hendry.
16:20Now New York's own Mike Santana.
16:23And a charming suplex delivered.
16:26Very well done.
16:27And Santana choosing his moment now.
16:30It's Hendry who's been eliminated from the fray.
16:33Frankie, what do you think about the journey of Mike Santana?
16:36All the roads that he's traveled.
16:38Similar roads for you to get to this point in time.
16:41You know what?
16:42Personally, I can't stand the guy.
16:44But professionally, I have nothing but respect.
16:47I know where he's been.
16:49And I know where he wants to go.
16:50We've traveled those same roads.
16:52We're after the same goal.
16:53And he is a guy that I love having in my locker room.
16:58Santana.
16:59It will evade Williams.
17:01Uh-oh.
17:02A total boot right to the cheekbone.
17:04That'll wake you up.
17:05Mike Santana, the one man in this match you could argue,
17:08fighting for someone other than himself.
17:10Fighting for his family, his daughter, for TNA.
17:14Oh, leg lariat there by Trick Williams.
17:19Mike Santana's young daughter, Ariana,
17:23here at ringside in the impact zone, cheering on her father.
17:27And now, ooh, face first goes Santana.
17:32Here's the cover.
17:33Trying to hold on to the world title and a kick out.
17:36Hashtag TNA Slammiversary is trended number one all night long
17:41in Sports on X.
17:43Thank you to fans all over the world watching live on pay-per-view and TNA.
17:48Plus this, the 21st annual Slammiversary.
17:51Our highest attended event in the history of TNA wrestling in North America.
17:56Look at Joe.
17:58Honest Joe playing possum over there.
18:00Look at that.
18:01Look at that.
18:02No doubt about it.
18:03Joe Hendry laid out on the floor.
18:04Inconsequential, at least at this moment.
18:07Inside the ring, it's Trick Williams and Mike Santana.
18:10Remember, no count outs, no disqualifications.
18:12First man in the game.
18:13Pinfall or submission will be the champion.
18:16You know, Trick gets it.
18:17He's not here to make friends.
18:18He's made that quite obvious.
18:20And I respect that.
18:21Trick Williams is thinking about a superplex there.
18:24Mike Santana trying to prevent it.
18:26Straight headbutt by Santana.
18:28And now Santana's fond of time.
18:29Oh.
18:30Big uppercut by Williams.
18:31Trick just a little too fast.
18:32And now wait a minute.
18:33Trick gets dangerous.
18:34This is where it gets dangerous.
18:35Hold on a second.
18:36There's Joe Hendry.
18:37He's got a hold of Trick Williams.
18:39Oh and now Mike Santana.
18:41A powerbound blockbuster combo from the challengers.
18:48Obviously move like that affects everybody.
18:50This is the point in the match where from here on out, who can pull it out?
18:54Who can reach down?
18:56I could.
19:15This is going to go down as perhaps the greatest event in the history of TNA Wrestling.
19:20And Frankie, you had to make this main event all about you by coming on commentary.
19:24Of course I did.
19:25You understand what's at stake?
19:27I said it earlier.
19:28Our TNA Knockouts World Championship belongs to Jaycee Jane from NXT.
19:32Now Trick Williams is defending his TNA World Championship.
19:36He's from NXT as well.
19:37TNA can't afford anything to go wrong tonight in this match.
19:41You know what Tom?
19:42That eats me up.
19:43I predate anybody in this company.
19:45I've bled.
19:46I've broke myself in this company.
19:48That's why I'm here.
19:49You don't think that doesn't eat at me?
19:50Oh wait a minute.
19:51Go for spin the block.
19:53But a trick kick instead.
20:03And Santana wisely rolling out there.
20:08Not giving the opportunity to get pinned, but look at this.
20:11Whoa.
20:12Hendry was thinking about a chokeslam.
20:14Went for the leg lariat.
20:16Incredible counter.
20:17Oh, look at this.
20:18Hendry.
20:19Drek gets dumped.
20:20Is it time for the standing ovation?
20:23Hendry could have it here.
20:25Is this his redemption?
20:27Oh, you son of a bitch, Frankie.
20:30What are you doing?
20:32What the hell is wrong with you?
20:35What the hell is wrong with you?
20:37We're trying to win back the world title.
20:39You gotta be careful.
20:40Frankie.
20:41What is wrong with you?
20:42You move like that.
20:43Dude.
20:44You're not gonna kick.
20:45Can you not?
20:48Get the hell out of here, Frankie.
20:54Your ego's out of control.
20:57Well, I'm the first in line in the Frankie Kazarian fan club.
21:01This guy is incredible, but I gotta agree with you, Tom.
21:05On this night, in this match, on this occasion,
21:09we cannot afford this kind of ego.
21:15Meanwhile, back inside the ring, the main event continues,
21:19and Mike Santana able to wipe out Trick Williams on the outside.
21:24Oh, look out.
21:25Wait a minute.
21:26Joe Hendry gets tricking Santana.
21:31Absolute chaos after Frankie Kazarian there.
21:35Could have just changed the course of TNA history in that moment.
21:42And now Joe Hendry tossing Mike Santana inside the ring.
21:49Also, all the way, like something's wrong with Trick Williams.
21:54Back inside the ring, Mike Santana and Joe Hendry.
22:00Santana was going for a spin the block.
22:02Hold on a second.
22:03Rolling back 50.
22:05Yeah, look at Santana.
22:07Outlined in chalk.
22:10Trick's down on the outside.
22:16A big opportunity for Santana.
22:19Could this be the moment?
22:21Cover.
22:22Shoulders down.
22:23Hendry kicks it too.
22:29We have medical staff and referees checking on Trick Williams on the outside.
22:35Back inside the ring.
22:47Joe Hendry and Mike Santana battling for the TNA world title.
22:52Pop-up powerbomb.
22:53Could it be a TNA star that brings the world title home?
22:58Hendry taking advantage of this moment in time.
23:05It ain't ballet, folks.
23:07We say that for a reason.
23:09And now Hendry going for the standing ovation on Santana.
23:16Down goes Santana.
23:18Cover.
23:19One, two, three.
23:21Santana kicked out of the standing ovation.
23:24How?
23:25How?
23:26Could that have been Hendry's moment?
23:31Joe Hendry just said, what do I have to do?
23:36For a second time, the standing ovation in that moment was not enough.
23:42Not enough.
23:54But Santana wants more.
23:57Oh, now Santana with a forearm shiver.
24:08Joe Hendry responds.
24:10Two of TNA's best and brightest.
24:13Going at it.
24:14Spin the block.
24:15But Santana, not done.
24:18Spin the block.
24:20The STB one more time.
24:22Cover.
24:23Wait, what, what?
24:24On Trick Williams.
24:25Throw it out Santana.
24:26Oh, come on.
24:27Trick Williams is gonna steal this one.
24:29Damn it.
24:34Damn it.
24:35Here's our winner.
24:37And steal, the TNA World Champion, Trick Williams.
24:49The President Carlos Silva handing the TNA World Championship back to Trick Williams.
25:10It appears Trick feigned a mean drink.
25:15For a second, I felt bad.
25:18Any athlete going down was horrible.
25:22Damn it.
25:25Take a look back here at this made of end matchup.
25:28We thought this was down to Mike Santana and Joe Hendry.
25:32It looked like the storybook conclusion was about to be finished here.
25:38Mike Santana trying to bring home the TNA World Championship in his home of New York.
25:44And instead, it was Tric Williams who took it away and held on to the TNA World Championship.
25:59Both of TNA's world titles are in the hands of NXT wrestlers.
26:05When will this nightmare end?
26:08We are officially on the path to Bound for Glory.
26:16Say it loud.
26:17I'm champion.
26:18I'm proud.
26:19Say it loud.
26:20I'm champion.
26:21I'm proud.
26:22Let's talk about it, baby.
