Transcript

00:00This is years of friendship cast aside. The bad blood is very real.

00:04The burgeoning star, Indi Hartwell, about to take on the very bitter Tessa Blanchard.

00:10This one runs deep. Two women trying to prove themselves here at TNA.

00:19The undeniable diamond has once again set her eyes on a golden opportunity with the Knockouts World Title.

00:26Indi Hartwell rounding out the field for the 8-4-1 match. Blanchard taking a cheap shot at Indi Hartwell.

00:36What was that? Darn that dumb. You want to start something with me?

00:39Are you forgetting whose couch you used to sleep on?

00:42Are you forgetting who got your first opportunity here in the United States?

00:45You didn't climb this ladder to get here. You walked across my back.

00:51Indi, you had one job when you came to TNA and that was a day out of my way.

00:55If it wasn't for me, you'd still be wrestling for meat pies and a handshake in Australia.

01:00No! Tessa!

01:02It's gonna be you and me at Slammiversary.

01:08You can copy the look. You can study the moves.

01:10But there's one thing that's for certain.

01:13Everything that you are is because of me.

01:16Every success that you've ever had is because of me.

01:21You are not undeniable. You are not even impressive.

01:24You are nothing but forgettable.

01:27Every friend you've ever had, you've turned your back on.

01:32You haven't known me in six years.

01:35But at Slammiversary, you're gonna get to know me, bitch.

01:39You are nothing but you're not even.

01:42You are nothing but you're not even.

01:44Undeniable forever.

01:48Forever.

01:50Forever.

01:55Forever.

01:59Forever.

02:00Forever.

02:02Forever.

02:03Following contest is scheduled for one call.

02:06Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Victoria Ruffer.

02:13From Charlotte, North Carolina.

02:16She is the undeniable diamond, Tessa Blanchard.

02:27Tessa Blanchard walking into this match to shut down a rivalry

02:34that goes back to the early days of friendship she had with Indi Hartwell.

02:38And Indi Hartwell has been very upfront about the fact that

02:42Tessa Blanchard did indeed help her get opportunities out here.

02:45Tessa Blanchard would wrestle multiple matches on cards for free,

02:50just so she could get her friend Indi Hartwell a match over here in the United States.

02:55That much is true, but this is a very different Tessa Blanchard here now in 2025.

03:04And

03:09her opponent from Melbourne, Australia, Indi Hartwell.

03:21I think ultimately, Raywall, there's a lot of bitterness and

03:24jealousy coming from Tessa Blanchard when it comes to Indi Hartwell.

03:29You talked about the years and the history and the things that Tessa Blanchard did for Indi Hartwell.

03:33Those are all well and good.

03:35Those are fantastic.

03:36Indi Hartwell made a name for herself in this industry.

03:40And I think there's a lot of jealousy because the same night that Indi Hartwell showed up here in TNA Wrestling,

03:47that her signing was announced, was the same night that Tessa Blanchard lost her knockouts world title match against Masha Slamvich.

03:54That was back at Rebellion just a few months ago.

03:57Tessa Blanchard's made it very clear since she stepped back into this company that she wants to get back to the knockouts world championship.

04:03And she's seen Indi Hartwell building momentum, is unbeaten in singles competition thus far.

04:09I think Tessa Blanchard sees someone on the rise and wants to take down Indi Hartwell.

04:14I mean, look, if she wants to take down Indi Hartwell, there's no doubt about it, you're right.

04:19The momentum is in the favor of Indi Hartwell in a lot of ways.

04:23If Tessa Blanchard wants to strike down some potential competition on the way to that title, I don't blame her.

04:28Jealousy is a bit of a reach for me, Hannifin, I mean, Tessa Blanchard is an accomplished athlete in her own right,

04:36winning titles all over the world.

04:38I don't think, quite frankly, either one of these two have anything to be jealous about with each other.

04:42I think Tessa Blanchard is jealous of the success that Indi Hartwell has had,

04:46former NXT Women's Tag Team Champion, former NXT Women's Champion.

04:49Tessa joined us on commentary and said, Indi Hartwell's done nothing in this industry.

04:55Tessa's delusional, in my opinion.

04:57All right, now she's getting her clock cleaned, courtesy of her former friend, Indi Hartwell, no doubt about that.

05:04A referee, Frank Castano, charged with this matchup, contentious already in the early going.

05:10And let's not talk about the walking head case.

05:14Victoria Crawford on the outside, the X Factor anywhere she goes.

05:19Hartwell stomping out, Tessa Blanchard in the corner.

05:22All right, Blanchard sliding to the outside, trying to avoid Indi Hartwell, trying to get Hartwell to chase.

05:33A little merry-go-round action here.

05:35Oh!

05:36Oh, and there's Blanchard to meet Hartwell at the ropes.

05:40And here's the thing, I'm worried for Indi Hartwell, if you've listened to her over the past several weeks.

05:46I told you, she was very upfront about admitting what Tessa Blanchard did do for her.

05:52And that's kind, that's well and good, that's humble.

05:54But here, this is the situation.

05:56You can't afford to be humble.

05:57I hope that Indi Hartwell's better nature, her good nature, doesn't cost her.

06:04Well, now Blanchard, oh!

06:06Separating herself from Indi Hartwell.

06:11Lord knows that Tessa Blanchard is not going to have any good-natured intentions towards Indi Hartwell.

06:18Look at this, ooh!

06:23Oh, my God!

06:25Just wrapping around, slamming the head of Indi Hartwell into the apron.

06:32Again, that nasty side of Blanchard that comes out in every time she steps in the ring.

06:40Now Hartwell tossed back inside the ring.

06:42Oh, Blanchard, Demi Hartwell, looking for a cover.

06:48Look to the leg, shoulders down, and a kickout.

06:50Listen, we understand the landscape.

06:52Hold on, cover here amongst the knockouts.

06:55Still to come tonight, it's title versus title.

06:57Winner takes all.

06:58The TNA Knockouts World Champion, Masha Slamovich, versus the NXT Women's Champion, J.C. Jane.

07:05That is a gargantuan matchup.

07:07And at the same time, we talked about it on the countdown to Slammiversary.

07:10Ash by Elegance, one-half of the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions is also the number-one contender to the Knockouts World title.

07:18Cover here.

07:18Cover, oh, and a power out there by Hartwell.

07:20And there is certainly a line forming in the knockouts division.

07:24And right now, Indi Hartwell's not going to be standing in any lines for too long if Tessa Blanchard has her way here.

07:30Oh!

07:31Open palm strike.

07:32That left leg, to your point, Raywald is giving Hartwell trouble.

07:36Oh, my God!

07:37And I think Blanchard was going for a leg DDT.

07:42Close quarters there in the corner.

07:45Almost a drag and screw kind of scenario.

07:47Either way, the leg just further tweaked.

07:49That's a smart move.

07:50I mean, Indi Hartwell has a pretty substantial height advantage over Tessa Blanchard.

07:56That just literally...

07:57Wait.

07:59Dumping Hartwell on the knee.

08:00Here's the cover kick out.

08:01Quite frankly, it chops the tree down, so to speak.

08:04Smart tactic here by Blanchard.

08:10I mean, credit where it's due, Hartwell keeps trying to get up to her feet.

08:14I just don't know how much more she can do.

08:18And this is certainly the toughest competition Indi Hartwell has faced thus far in her time here in TNA Wrestling.

08:24So we're gonna learn a lot about Hartwell tonight, regardless of the outcome.

08:27Ooh!

08:28And a shot right to the back of the knee.

08:29And he barely even gave all that force, and the knee just caught up in the rope there.

08:35Ooh!

08:36Now Hartwell battling out of the corner.

08:43Hartwell knows what it means to be the underdog in a fight.

08:46Taken off her feet, however, by Blanchard.

08:48Here's the cover.

08:49Forearm in the face.

08:50Kick out by Hartwell.

08:51The ferocity, the tenacity of the undeniable diamond on display here.

08:57Again, Indi's having a hard time even just walking.

09:02I don't know how she's gonna be able to mount any kind of comeback here.

09:05If Tessa keeps having her way like this.

09:11Hartwell had a brief flurry in the early stages of the matchup.

09:15It's been all Blanchard ever since.

09:17And an open palm strike, that right leg draped across the second rope.

09:21And Blanchard trying to do damage there.

09:24Very close range.

09:25Blanchard's done this a number of times.

09:27Trying to back Hartwell into the corners.

09:29Wait a second.

09:31Indi Hartwell managing to get a little bit of control of Blanchard.

09:35Here.

09:37But again, how much damage is done to the leg?

09:39How much stability does she have?

09:41Especially in a top rope situation like this.

09:45Oh, now Blanchard off of the top.

09:49Holding on.

09:51Indi holding on.

09:52Going for a Sunset.

09:53Powerbomb there.

09:54And a shot to the back of the right knee.

09:56Hartwell cannot afford to let things like that happen.

10:00Bad position here for Indi.

10:03Oh, and face.

10:05First into the top turnbuckle.

10:06Look at the strength of Hartwell.

10:08Using all her upper body strength that she's got.

10:11And Indi Hartwell showed up here tonight.

10:13And probably the best shape I've ever seen her in her career.

10:15Completely agree.

10:16Hartwell, however, trying to protect the knee as best she can.

10:20Can't seem to do it.

10:21It's hard.

10:22I mean, there's so much you do in that ring.

10:24You can't hide it.

10:25To base for anything at all.

10:36Hartwell chasing down Blanchard on the top turnbuckle.

10:39Hartwell taking a risk here.

10:42Going on to the ropes.

10:43Going after Blanchard.

10:44Can't waste any time now.

10:47Now trying to soften up Tessa Blanchard here up on the top rope.

10:50Again, can she base for this?

10:53Look at this.

10:53All the way up top.

10:56Indi Hartwell with a superplex to Tessa Blanchard.

11:00That took a lot out of Hartwell, though, too.

11:04But it could be the opening she needed.

11:10What a crowd on hand tonight for our 21st annual Slammiversary.

11:15Live around the world on pay-per-view and TNA Plus at the UBS Arena on Long Island, New York.

11:21Right now, both Indi Hartwell and Tessa Blanchard down center of the ring.

11:30Both athletes trying to get back to a vertical base.

11:34Indi Hartwell on one leg, nonetheless.

11:40And now these two former friends, former roommates, go back so many years.

11:48Now just slugging it out in the center of the ring on TNA's biggest stage.

11:54Big shot there by Hartwell, sending Blanchard into the ropes.

11:57Ooh, Hartwell standing and throwing strikes with Tessa Blanchard.

12:06Now Indi Hartwell, latching out.

12:13Hartwell on the move.

12:19And a knee right to the midsection.

12:21Tessa Blanchard slows up Hartwell.

12:23Great wherewithal from Blanchard able to slow things down, but not enough.

12:29And here on one leg, Indi Hartwell trying to turn this matchup around.

12:34Series of clotheslines there by Hartwell is trying to push the pace,

12:38but so difficult to do with the knees injured.

12:42Saw there gingerly trying to land as much on one leg as possible.

12:45Ooh.

12:47Boot right to the face there by Hartwell.

12:49Blanchard down center of the ring, Hartwell's going to the top turnbuckle,

12:54it looks like.

12:55The intense look in the eyes of Indi Hartwell tells the story.

12:59Hartwell, the elbow to the spine.

13:03Here's the cover.

13:04And a power out there by Blanchard.

13:07That was a huge risk.

13:08It paid off for Hartwell, but not enough.

13:12You can't even see it there on the face of Indi Hartwell.

13:17What more does she have to do?

13:20What does she have to pull out of the playbook to put down a former world champion?

13:25Now Hartwell trying to get Tessa Blanchard back up to her feet.

13:34Trying to maybe go for Hertz Donut.

13:38Blanchard felt it coming.

13:40Pulls out one of the injured legs, oh, it creates an opening.

13:44That left leg, however, is taking more damage at this point.

13:47Oh, now look at this, Tessa Blanchard going for a submission.

13:51Got the legs tied up in knots here.

13:55Hartwell, though, able to counter.

13:58Couldn't hold on to it, hold on.

13:59There was a cover.

14:00Close range superkick there by Blanchard, Hartwell to the outside.

14:05And now Blanchard picking up steam here.

14:09Tessa Blanchard wiping out Hartwell.

14:12Yeah!

14:13Blanchard digging in to that Lucha Libre background she honed in Mexico.

14:21Is that enough to open the door to get a win here, is it enough?

14:29Cover hook to the leg and a kick out.

14:33And now it's Blanchard's face who's telling the tale, the disappointment.

14:38It's taken a lot more to put down her former friend than I think even she may have anticipated.

14:44But now, is this the moment Blanchard could be looking to put things away here?

14:58Look at the strength of Indy Hartwell trying to hang on here against Blanchard.

15:04Blanchard to the center of the ring, Hartwell in pursuit, now on the move.

15:08Spinebuster there by Hartwell, hook to the leg, is this enough?

15:13And a power out by Blanchard.

15:14Both these women have hit some of the biggest shots in their arsenal.

15:22And still has not been enough to put either one away.

15:26First time these two have gone one-on-one in seven years.

15:34Hartwell and Blanchard trying to separate themselves.

15:39You can see the gears trying to turn, Indy Hartwell's head.

15:42And again here, trying to maybe hook it.

15:46Wants a hurt, donut.

15:50As the Blanchard feels it coming, well scouted.

15:53Got to give credit to Blanchard on that front.

15:55Hold on, now Blanchard, wait a minute, caught with a head scissors.

15:58Blanchard able to escape.

16:01Wait a second, big forearm shiver there by Blanchard.

16:07Floating over, hell of a counter there.

16:11Uh-oh, the Tiger Driver, here's the cover.

16:15And a kick out by Hartwell.

16:18And Blanchard can't believe it.

16:22But there was a little less oomph behind that kick out, if you ask me.

16:28Indy Hartwell is starting to feel it.

16:30Take a look at this, the Tiger Bomb.

16:33Absolutely, perfectly done, but Indy Hartwell just barely able to kick out.

16:40And now it is Blanchard who scales the ropes.

16:43And now it is Blanchard who scales the ropes.

16:44Hartwell in her sights, could be thinking Magnum.

16:48Oh, wait a minute, instead went after the knee there of Hartwell.

16:51Blanchard trying to figure out how to put this thing away.

16:54Is it time, oh, face first, Hertz Donut, cover.

17:00Oh, and a kick out by Tessa Blanchard.

17:07However, I don't think Indy Hartwell got all of Hertz Donut the way she typically has done.

17:14And now, though, you see Indy Hartwell just trying to get some life back into this matchup.

17:23Digging down deep into the arsenal.

17:25Ooh.

17:31Hartwell sending Blanchard into the top turnbuckle.

17:34Hartwell trying to think of something big here,

17:39went for one of her best moves in her arsenal.

17:42Granted, didn't get all of it, but still,

17:45got to figure out a way to put away Blanchard here at Slammiversary.

17:48What is she thinking here?

17:49What is it going to the head of Indy Hartwell as Blanchard fights back?

17:54Shots right to the back of the neck there by Blanchard.

17:57Dangerous situation here for both these knockouts.

18:00Connor over the top by Blanchard.

18:04And not done yet, immediately going back to the buckle.

18:07There's Blanchard thinking Magnum once again.

18:15Hartwell is stunned, there it is, Magnum, cover.

18:21What a kick out by Indy Hartwell.

18:25How is there still life in Indy Hartwell after all this punishment,

18:33the punishment to the leg, the brutality of Blanchard?

18:37Versus this, this cutter.

18:40Hartwell was on the second rope, and Blanchard immediately follows it up with Magnum.

18:46No one has been able to kick out of Magnum since Tessa Blanchard returned to this company back in December.

18:53And Blanchard cannot believe it.

18:56Kick right to the face, and now will the frustration overwhelm Tessa Blanchard?

19:01We've seen that happen in the past.

19:04And I can't blame her for letting the temper flare.

19:08That's just how personal this thing has gotten.

19:15It's gotten so physical at this point now, too.

19:19Wait a second.

19:20Hartwell, Hartwell, and for Hurts, toned into the ropes.

19:23Rope first, face first.

19:26What a sequence by Hartwell.

19:28Enough!

19:29Indy Hartwell's beaten Tessa Blanchard.

19:33Here is our winner, Indy Hartwell.

19:43A hard-fought victory in a very physical matchup from Indy Hartwell here.

19:52Indy Hartwell persevered and overcame Tessa Blanchard tonight at Slammiversary.

19:59What a sequence there down the stretch.

20:01Hurts Donut into the top rope and immediately fouled it up.

20:05Very smart.

20:08Hartwell withstood it all and came out victorious.

20:12And you have to imagine, up next for Indy Hartwell is keeping her eyes close on the prize

20:20that is the Knockouts World Title.

20:23Indy Hartwell just scored her biggest win today against Tessa Blanchard here at Slammiversary.

20:30She remains unbeaten in singles action here at TNA.

20:34Indy.

20:39Indy, congratulations, a huge victory over Tessa Blanchard.

20:43Momentum is clearly on your side, so what's next?

20:48I mean, when I said I was coming to TNA, I said I was gonna be at the top of the Knockouts

20:52division.

20:53I just beat a former world champion, so what's next?

20:59I'm watching that title-

21:00My God, and Blanchard attacking Hartwell after the fact.

21:05The sore loser and now- Jesus.

21:08Blanchard getting in the face of Gia Miller and now just beating down.

21:14Oh my God, what the hell?

21:16What the hell?

21:17What the hell?

21:18What the hell?

21:19Jesus.

21:20Come on.

21:21What the hell are you doing?

21:24Dan, are you getting- what the Sam hell is this?

21:29Well, Victoria Crawford getting involved, preventing Indy Hartwell from helping Gia Miller.

21:34Can we get some damn security out here?

21:47Come on, come on, come on, come on!

22:17Come on!
