Coming off from No Surrender this past weekend, we continue tonight with TNA Impact to see the results of that event and what is in store for the Knockouts division.
Impact begins with Knockouts singles action as Indi Hartwell takes on Heather By Elegance of The Elegance Brand. And joining the commentary desk is none other than Ash By Elegance, who is talking trash about one Mickie James.
Heather looks to go a little reckless by taking over most of the match against Hartwell. Hartwell drives a hard boot into Heather as she heads up to the top rope. The entire Elegance Brand tries to get involved, and the referee decides to send them packing. Ash becomes furious as the match continues. A Spanish Fly by Heather gets stopped, and Hartwell follows up with a Diving Elbow Drop, only for a two-count. Ash tries to get involved again, but Hartwell drives a Hurt’s Don’t It on Heather to pick up the win.
The new TNA Knockouts World Champion, Arianna Grace, has the mic and addresses her win at No Surrender this past weekend. She renounces her critics and says that everyone doesn’t have to like it, but has to accept it. And that she used everything in her power to get everything she’s ever wanted. Now, she accompanies Stacks in his upcoming TNA International Championship match to become the power couple they were aiming to be.
Tessa Blanchard is set to go up against the No. 1 Contender for the Knockouts title, Jody Threat. Threat won her chance at the title by eliminating Blanchard in the Knockouts Battle Royal. After an altercation backstage at the event, the two face off to see who truly deserved that chance.
The match goes back and forth, and Threat sets up for a Pop-Shove-It, until Victoria Crawford and Mila Moore get involved, causing the disqualification. Blanchard tries to take out Threat for good, but Harley Hudson and Myla Grace make the save.
Elayna Black heads to the ring tonight and calls out Mara Sadé for taking her out of the Knockouts Battle Royal. Sadé arrives to remind her of their history, and says that they’re in TNA now. Black says she earned every single opportunity she’s had, while Sadé has just had handouts and calls her an industry plant. Things get tense, and Sadé says she’s not bitter, but is ready to take her on any place, anytime.
What did you think of tonight’s TNA Impact? Will Blanchard put a stop to Threat’s championship goal? What else does Grace have up her sleeve? Can both Sadé and Black prove their worth? Let us know in the comments below!
