00:00:00He gets his contractual rematch from Bound for Glory.
00:00:03Jason Hodge has been through the battles,
00:00:05but how will he fare in his first ever two-out-of-three-falls matchup
00:00:10in defense of the TNA International title?
00:00:12Standard match rules apply to determine each fall.
00:00:18Oh, and Ali's got the first fall.
00:00:23Oh!
00:00:24Ali with the title foul.
00:00:26Ali's frustration got the better of him,
00:00:28but, hey, it is now 1-1,
00:00:30but he is in a firm advantage after that shot with the title belt.
00:00:38Turnabout is about to be fair play in the hands of Jason Hodge.
00:00:44Man to the face!
00:00:46Is it enough?
00:00:47Jason Hodge retains the international title.
00:00:53We are joined by the TNA World Champion, Leon Slater.
00:00:58We were told that we'd get our opportunity someday,
00:01:02and I'm here to tell you and everybody else in this building
00:01:05that that Sunday is right now,
00:01:08and the world is ours!
00:01:12Matt and Jeff,
00:01:15we're not satisfied until you die.
00:01:18Step into our world.
00:01:20We're waiting.
00:01:22We'll be waiting.
00:01:33We'll be waiting.
00:01:40We'll be waiting.
00:01:45I'm ready to fly
00:01:49I'm ready to fly
00:01:52I'm ready to fly
00:01:54I'm ready to fly
00:01:57I'm ready to fly
00:02:05With Destination X fast approaching, tonight is jam-packed.
00:02:10Two championship matches plus unpredictable carnage awaits.
00:02:15Welcome to TNA Thursday Night Impact.
00:02:20Fuddling his schedule for one fall with a 10-minute time limit
00:02:24and is for the TNA Knockout TV Championship.
00:02:31Introducing first the challenger from Columbia, South Carolina,
00:02:35the Spark Cheetah Stone.
00:02:39Kicking off this episode of Thursday Night Impact on AMC
00:02:42with championship action.
00:02:44The Spark, Jada Stone getting another shot
00:02:47at the Knockouts TV Championship.
00:02:50It's about time somebody got another shot at the TNA Knockouts Television Champion
00:02:54and by Elegance who seems hellbent on ducking competition,
00:02:58especially Elena Black.
00:02:59Hey, she's out here defending.
00:03:01What do you mean she defending the title now?
00:03:02Oh, she's a fighting champion, as is everyone in the Elegance brand, anytime.
00:03:09Elegance.
00:03:16And her opponent, from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, she is the TNA Knockouts TV Champion!
00:03:25And M by Elegance!
00:03:30Look, Elena Black had her shot.
00:03:33She had her opportunity.
00:03:35M by Elegance won.
00:03:37La-di-da!
00:03:38And since then, Elena Black has been nothing but a podster.
00:03:42Trying to drive a wedge in and amongst the Elegance brand.
00:03:46Trying to start this feud rivalry between Heather and M, who are like sisters.
00:03:52As we get set for our first of two title matches tonight,
00:03:56let's take a look at the spotlight presented by LaFrance.
00:03:59Not from here.
00:04:00M last retained her title against Elena Black by running out the 10-minute time limit.
00:04:05Elena made it clear again last week that she wants another shot at the title,
00:04:09but M instead was happy to grant a title match to Jada Stone.
00:04:13Remember, it was M and Stone who went one-on-one in the inaugural title tournament final this past summer.
00:04:20That was a really close matchup, and many believe that had M not gotten her foot on the rope during
00:04:25a late pinfall attempt,
00:04:27Stone would have been the first champion.
00:04:30Hey, Jada Stone, that was part of her argument to get this match with M by Elegance.
00:04:35She had just come off that incredible lethal lockdown match at the time,
00:04:39with no doubt banged up, bruised, and injured.
00:04:43Jada Stone, one could argue, got a raw deal in the call-your-shot gauntlet at Bound for Glory just
00:04:49a few weeks ago,
00:04:50when Big Trouble Ben Bishop tried to take her spot.
00:04:53Oh!
00:04:54Right now, Jada Stone's wasting no time.
00:04:57But wait a second, M by Elegance might look to shut this down early.
00:05:01That was the move that helped M retain it.
00:05:03Oh!
00:05:04Helped M win the title against Jada in the final.
00:05:06Stone tried to put it away right there.
00:05:10And I would like to point out just how quickly M by Elegance was willing to give Jada Stone a
00:05:15title match here tonight.
00:05:18And there's Mr. Elegance up on the rope.
00:05:21Oh!
00:05:21That's kicked in the fence by M!
00:05:23How dare Jada Stone orchestrate that situation?
00:05:27Oh!
00:05:28And it's Jada Stone taking advantage.
00:05:31A little miscommunication there.
00:05:33We're talking about Elena Black trying to break up the Elegance brand.
00:05:38I think they're doing that.
00:05:39Oh!
00:05:39Look on their own!
00:05:40The splinters are obvious!
00:05:42Let's go!
00:05:44These are a unit, they are a brand, and M is nothing but a strong leader in my opinion.
00:05:50We're just getting started with the action tonight here in Dothan, Alabama.
00:05:54Still to come, I do not know what exactly to expect between the Hardys and Sixth.
00:05:59It's the Slaughterhouse Sixth match.
00:06:02That is still to come.
00:06:03Also, the TNA Hall of Famer, Amazing Red, competes in his first match on impact in 15 years
00:06:09as he defends his X Division title against Cedric Alexander of the system.
00:06:15Oh!
00:06:15Also, it's AJ Francis up against John Schuyler.
00:06:20Not to mention, Elijah goes one-on-one with Ryan Nebbitt.
00:06:24That matchup is presented by Stranglehold.
00:06:26And all here from the reigning new TNA World Champion, Leon Slater.
00:06:32Now that his matchup in Destination X's title defense against Trey Miguel is set.
00:06:37Slater later on tonight.
00:06:39And this match has been non-stop action.
00:06:42Take a look at this.
00:06:43This turned the tide for M by Elegant.
00:06:46Throw at Jada Stone!
00:06:47Cover! Cover!
00:06:48Over to the outside.
00:06:50And this is now a huge takeover by the Knockouts TV Champion.
00:06:55And we've seen this ever since the inaugural tournament, which these two parted and made to the final.
00:07:00That's right here.
00:07:00Cover!
00:07:01To retain the title!
00:07:02Another kick out is that this championship has inspired quite the pace.
00:07:07That 10-minute time limit certainly has created an incredible pace of in-ring wrestling.
00:07:12Yeah, and it's that pace that apparently Elena Black couldn't keep up with.
00:07:16Because that's what happened in that match.
00:07:18The 10-minute time limit.
00:07:1910-minute time limit.
00:07:21Excuse me.
00:07:21It's not a situation.
00:07:22It's not a situation where Elena Black couldn't keep up.
00:07:25With the time limit.
00:07:26It's the fact that the reigning champion was actively looking to see when the clock would expire.
00:07:31As opposed to actually trying to out-wrestle and simply pin or submit her opponent.
00:07:35Oh, I'm sorry.
00:07:36I didn't know knowing the rules and keeping, you know, abreast of that was a crime.
00:07:40Oh!
00:07:42Big shot right to the face.
00:07:43Jada Stone trying to keep that pace herself.
00:07:46She knows the time limit is an anime just as much as your opponent is in a match like this.
00:07:53Wake up!
00:07:56Back there, Simran.
00:07:57I hope, I hope Elena Black is watching.
00:08:01And knows that this is what waits for her if she ever even comes close to sniffing the
00:08:07TV title again!
00:08:08Oh, my God!
00:08:10Em going for the moonsault and missed.
00:08:11Here's my question.
00:08:13Do you think Em believes she is better than the rest of the brand?
00:08:17I think Em thinks she's a shining example for the brand of the brand.
00:08:22I think she's very confident in her abilities as she should be as the first ever Knockouts TV champion.
00:08:30Now, look, Jada Stone back in.
00:08:35Athleticism on display trying to pick up this pace.
00:08:38I'll give her a lot of credit there!
00:08:41Jake brought that face and Jada Stone as the champion reeling.
00:08:47Jada Stone can't celebrate too early here.
00:08:51Gotta keep the pedal to the metal.
00:08:53Foot to the floor.
00:08:59To the top rope, Jada Stone.
00:09:01She's going with a split-legged moonsault.
00:09:03Caught up by Em!
00:09:04Great counter, but we have a counter back from Jada Stone to win the title!
00:09:08Trying to hook the legs.
00:09:09Em survives.
00:09:10Super kick!
00:09:12Nasty lights out super kick from Em by Elegance.
00:09:18Using those long legs to her advantage.
00:09:20Distinct size advantage for Em by Elegance in this matchup.
00:09:23But Jada Stone won't quit.
00:09:26He's got a lot of heart, there's no doubt about it.
00:09:28But Em by Elegance matching her every step of the way.
00:09:33On the middle rope.
00:09:34A little kick back there by the champion.
00:09:37Fast by him, look at this!
00:09:39Long off of the spark stunner, there it is!
00:09:41And Em by Elegance wisely.
00:09:44Veteran move there.
00:09:45Em rolling to the outside, escaping Stone.
00:09:49Stone could have won the matchup right there.
00:09:51Avoiding the pinfall.
00:09:53Wise, veteran move there from the champion.
00:09:57And now Jada Stone going up top.
00:10:00A big risk here, big risk!
00:10:03And the big moonsault, are we?
00:10:06It was Mr. Elegance who took the moonsault.
00:10:09So, Em by Elegance and Heather getting out of dodge.
00:10:14The poor Adonis facing the brunt of that one.
00:10:18Oh, now Jada Stone lashing out at Heather.
00:10:21Who has nothing to do with it!
00:10:24Oh, look out, a Spanish fly over the steps!
00:10:28Nasty landing for both, but especially the champ there.
00:10:33TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!
00:10:36TNA!
00:10:36Mr. Elegance in the background, you can see he's enraged.
00:10:41But wait a second now!
00:10:42Oh, it's an emergency.
00:10:43Moe's about the clock.
00:10:45Oh, and the match continues.
00:10:46It's a two count.
00:10:47Heather getting into the ring.
00:10:48To disrupting the referee's cap.
00:10:51Heather seeing great teammate backing up Em by Elegance.
00:10:58Em's asking Mr. Elegance for her title belt.
00:11:02Mr. Elegance just said he quit!
00:11:05Wait a minute, Em trying to hold on.
00:11:08Oh, and that's the move Em used in the tournament final
00:11:12to put away Stone and retains again.
00:11:16Here is our winner, and still the TNA Knockouts TV champion,
00:11:22Em by Elegance!
00:11:25This could have been a disaster for Em by Elegance.
00:11:30Heather tried to get involved.
00:11:31The referee was trying to get Heather out of the ring.
00:11:34Em tried to get Mr. Elegance to hand her
00:11:37the Knockouts TV title belt to use it as a weapon.
00:11:40But I believe Mr. Elegance told Em,
00:11:44quote, I quit.
00:11:45Has Mr. Elegance officially quit on the brand?
00:11:49But we gotta look back.
00:11:50This is a complicated situation.
00:11:53Jada Stone, however, left it all in the ring
00:11:55and outside the ring.
00:11:58Doing everything she could, but in the end,
00:12:01Em by Elegance had the timing,
00:12:03able to drop Jada Stone
00:12:06and get the one, two, three.
00:12:11Chaos might be raining, but so is Em by Elegance
00:12:16and the Elegance brand.
00:12:19Still your Knockouts TV champion.
00:12:25Do you wanna know something?
00:12:29I take back my X Division championship.
00:12:33No seven way.
00:12:34One on one.
00:12:35Me and you, Red.
00:12:36And I bring it back to the system.
00:12:38That's right.
00:12:38If you're going to create the ultimate X Division wrestler,
00:12:42this is the man you will create.
00:12:44This is the best X Division wrestler in the world.
00:12:47And tonight, he is going to single-handedly defeat Amazing Red
00:12:51and become the new X Division champion.
00:12:54What are you laughing?
00:12:55What's going on?
00:12:56Single-handedly.
00:12:56Yes.
00:12:57I was waiting for that.
00:12:58Yeah.
00:12:58Yeah, single-handedly.
00:12:59I know what that means.
00:13:00That means you want Cedric to do this all by himself.
00:13:02You don't believe in what he can do?
00:13:04Hey, chill.
00:13:05Hey, chill.
00:13:06Chill.
00:13:07Look, look, look.
00:13:08Ultimately, this is Cedric's match.
00:13:11Let him make the decision.
00:13:12I am the best X Division wrestler in the world today.
00:13:16And I will be the title back to the system.
00:13:19That's right.
00:13:19That's right, baby.
00:13:20That's what I'm saying.
00:13:21That's what I'm saying.
00:13:22Good.
00:13:23You are making a big mistake.
00:13:31A clear rift within the system.
00:13:34Meanwhile, can Cedric Alexander get it done on his own
00:13:36as he challenges Amazing Red, the TNA Hall of Famer,
00:13:40for the X Division title tonight?
00:13:42Meanwhile, Elijah wants payback against Nick Nemeth
00:13:45for robbing him of a TNA World title shot.
00:13:47But Ryan Nemeth stands in his way.
00:13:49This match is presented by Stranglehold.
00:13:51Also, it's Zero's first match since the disillusion of Order 4.
00:13:56He clashes with BDE next.
00:14:00This is a story about the one.
00:14:02The one who keeps it all moving.
00:14:04He is measured.
00:14:06...in Canada with two nights of total nonstop action.
00:14:09How awesome is it?

00:14:16Are you kidding?

00:14:30The TNA Wrestling family would like to take this time
00:14:33to highlight former TNA knockout Rebel,
00:14:36also known as Tenea Brooks,
00:14:38who has been diagnosed with terminal ALS.
00:14:42Please take the time to visit iamals.org slash rebel.
00:14:46All of us here in TNA send our love and support to Tenea Brooks.
00:14:56Yeah, of course.
00:14:57Because I'm here.
00:14:59I'm glad you understand.
00:15:01Yeah.
00:15:02I'll call you later.
00:15:04Okay, bye.
00:15:05Who the hell are you?
00:15:07Derry, I'm Brian.
00:15:08Shut up.
00:15:09I'm talking.
00:15:13I know who you are.
00:15:15You're that guy that's been repeatedly emailing us for what,
00:15:19a year and a half now trying to get a job?
00:15:21Desperate, kind of pathetic almost.
00:15:23Well, I will let you know, I got a job.
00:15:28That's impossible because I didn't hire you.
00:15:31In fact, I was hired by the TNA board of directors
00:15:34to make sure that I keep eyes on you.
00:15:40You keep eyes on me.
00:15:41Explain that.
00:15:42Well, they are worried with your suspension
00:15:45that it could cause issues moving forward.
00:15:48So if there's any physicality between you and talent,
00:15:50or if you put your hands on someone backstage,
00:15:54I'm the one that's going to email the board of directors
00:15:57and let them know.
00:15:59So let me get this straight.
00:16:00You're like a grown man babysitter.
00:16:04Ew.
00:16:05No, I'd like to think of it more as a...
00:16:09Observer?
00:16:10Great.
00:16:11Why don't you observe this?
00:16:12Me calling the board of directors to get you gone.
00:16:16Okay?
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:18Hello.
00:16:19Yes.
00:16:26I can't believe this.
00:16:28The board thinks they can just send somebody to stifle Daria?
00:16:32I'm okay with it.
00:16:36The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:16:39Introducing first, from Jacksonville, Florida,
00:16:42when you have 235 pounds, zero.
00:16:47This is a matchup I think a lot of TNA fans have been doing.
00:16:50looking forward to Zero's first singles match following the destruction of Order 4.
00:16:59We saw the message from Tasha Steeles, their mission accomplished.
00:17:03They head in their own direction, Zero stands alone.
00:17:07The first one is going live, but we won't be denied.
00:17:10Like John Ray, you ain't wanna keep it on that side.
00:17:12So let's BDE and Ross, you know the vibes.
00:17:15You know the vibes.
00:17:16How are you doing?
00:17:17And his opponent, Brian Lennon, Georgia, winning at 165 pounds.
00:17:24BDE!
00:17:24BDE!
00:17:26BDE is all smiles.
00:17:28It was prior to Bound for Glory that he won his first ever singles match in TNA,
00:17:33nearly a year to the date of him.
00:17:35Arriving in this company for the first time ever,
00:17:37and at our biggest event of the year,
00:17:39BDE challenge for the X Division Championship.
00:17:43Valiant effort in that match at Bound for Glory.
00:17:47I do not envy him here tonight,
00:17:49going up against this monster that is Zero.
00:17:57BDE watches himself right at Zero off of the belt.
00:18:00Smart strategy.
00:18:01Hey, I can't blame him.
00:18:03You gotta strike fast and strike first.
00:18:05Oh, right off of the ropes, let's go for a cross body.
00:18:08Zero, about 265 pounds of pure malice.
00:18:12Oh!
00:18:12You gotta dip, dive, and move.
00:18:14And look, he even got Zero outside the ring.
00:18:17That's no easy feat in and of itself.
00:18:21Wait, what?
00:18:21He's having the referee film this?
00:18:23BDE!
00:18:24Well, the ropes is down.
00:18:26No, Zero!
00:18:27This was remained impartial.
00:18:31Zero toss back inside the ring.
00:18:34An all-out assault here by BDE!
00:18:36Oh!
00:18:38Straight headbutt by Zero.
00:18:40And that's just how quick you can shut it all down.
00:18:47What a close line!
00:18:51Zero, in a matter of milliseconds, completely turning this matchup and BDE himself on its head.
00:19:01There was a time where Mustafa Ali referred to Zero as his personal weapon of mass destruction.
00:19:07We saw for a moment how Tasha Steeles was commanding the mission to Special Agent Zero.
00:19:13But you gotta ask yourself, what is Zero capable of now that he is calling the shots?
00:19:19He is completely untethered, unchained, a release suplex.
00:19:25He can do what he wants, when he wants.
00:19:28And that is a dangerous situation for anybody in the TNA line.
00:19:33Take a look at this.
00:19:35This release suplex nearly halfway across the ring went BDE.
00:19:39Back to live action.
00:19:40Look at the strength of Zero.
00:19:42Tossing BDE!
00:19:45It's an impressive gorilla press.
00:19:48The power of Zero.
00:19:51He can take his time here and punish BDE.
00:19:56Off the leg drop.
00:19:57Here's the cover.
00:19:57On BDE able to stay alive.
00:20:04I admire the kick out, I admire the resilience, but I don't know how wise it was of BDE.
00:20:13Shot to the back there by Zero.
00:20:17BDE trying to fight back, trying to find some distance here.
00:20:24BDE.
00:20:25BDE.
00:20:25Just thinking about the clip cutter.
00:20:26Caught up there by Zero.
00:20:28Zero.
00:20:28Ooh.
00:20:29BDE still finding ways to stay in this.
00:20:33Look at it!
00:20:33The clip cutter takes the big man down.
00:20:37A rare window of opportunity for BDE here.
00:20:41But Zero is back up for his feet just like that.
00:20:45A haymaker of a forearm to BDE and here we go.
00:20:51Could be good night for BDE.
00:20:55The choke bomb.
00:20:57Zero decimates BDE.
00:21:01Here is your winner, Zero.
00:21:06Zero on his own.
00:21:09Stands alone with his arm raised in victory.
00:21:13Oh, wait a second.
00:21:15Wait, he ain't done.
00:21:16Zero is not done tonight.
00:21:18Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:20Another choke bomb delivered by Zero.
00:21:23Wait a second.
00:21:24That's for Swan.
00:21:25Back to your screen.
00:21:26SPD's tag team partner, Rick Swan.
00:21:29And another choke bomb for Swan as well.
00:21:34Zero.
00:21:34And now security's starting to pour into the ring.
00:21:38Oh, my God.
00:21:39Zero, he's not having any of it.
00:21:42Look out!
00:21:43A double choke slam.
00:21:46Zero's taking out five men.
00:21:49And now for good measure, another choke bomb.
00:21:53Who and what can stop Zero?
00:22:00And here come two more members of the security team and they're doing the right thing.
00:22:05I do not blame them one bit.
00:22:07They're leaving Zero alone.
00:22:09If they care about their health, they'll run out of here.
00:22:14I ask again, who or what will stop Zero?
00:22:25At Bound for Glory, I proved why I belong here in TNA.
00:22:30I proved why I'm an international generational talent.
00:22:35And now I want to prove something even bigger.
00:22:38I want to prove why I'm one of the best in the world.
00:22:43So I'm officially announcing that the Young Savage will be part of the World X Cup.
00:22:50And I will be representing my home country, Belgium.
00:22:53Hey, Rick.
00:22:55What's up, man?
00:22:55What's up, man?
00:22:56How you doing, bro?
00:22:56You good?
00:22:57Yeah, man.
00:22:58Dude, I just heard you talking over there that you'll be at the World X Cup, right?
00:23:01Exactly, man.
00:23:02Well, just so you know, I'll be doing the same thing representing my home country of Bella Italia.
00:23:07It's great to hear, man. I mean, it's good.
00:23:10All right.
00:23:11Just one more thing.
00:23:13I know we fought alongside each other.
00:23:15I know I stood beside you at Lethal Lockdown.
00:23:16I know what kind of warrior you are.
00:23:18I know what kind of man you are.
00:23:19And I respect that.
00:23:20But just so you know, if our paths cross in that match, there'll be no alliance and there'll be no
00:23:25mercy.
00:23:25Because that can be only one numero uno.
00:23:28And that's me.
00:23:30I mean, you can call it number uno, number A, number one.
00:23:34But at the end of Destination X, the world will be saying, bang, bang, Sosa Sosa.
00:23:42All right.
00:23:43See you there.
00:23:43Yeah.
00:23:44I'll see you there, man.
00:24:55Have you ever been so obsessed with something that you just can't stop thinking about it?
00:25:02You start losing sleep.
00:25:04You start doing things that you thought you'd never do just to get a little bit closer.
00:25:09Oh, well.
00:25:11For the last year and a half, I have been absolutely obsessed.
00:25:15Come on up!
00:25:17Come on up!
00:25:18Come on up!"
00:25:22Following contest is scheduled for one call, and this for the team A, X Division, Championship!
00:25:30Introducing first the challenger representing the system.
00:25:35From Charlotte North Carolina weighing in at 220 pounds,
00:25:40Cedric Alexander.
00:25:44Right here, right now, we might have a brand new X Division champion.
00:25:50Cedric Alexander won the right to face the Amazing Red after winning that
00:25:56fatal four-way matchup.
00:25:59Cedric Alexander could be just moments away from reclaiming it
00:26:02and apparently doing it all on his own.
00:26:06To your point, Eddie Edwards believes Cedric can get it done on his own.
00:26:09No sign of the system.
00:26:11Brian Myers asked Alexander if he wanted help,
00:26:13and Cedric didn't give a clear answer.
00:26:17And his opponent from Brooklyn, New York,
00:26:20he is a TNA Hall of Saber!
00:26:23The TNA X Division champion, Amazing Red!
00:26:31Meanwhile, Amazing Red might beg to differ.
00:26:34He is a four-time X Division champion.
00:26:37He is a TNA Hall of Famer.
00:26:39He went into the TNA Hall of Famer,
00:26:41and then an hour later won the X Division title head bound for glory.
00:26:45A man whose legacy is embedded into the very bedrock of the X Division.
00:26:52That's why he is the forever face of the X Division.
00:26:58As we get set for Red's first match on Impact in 15 years,
00:27:02let's take a look at the X Factors.
00:27:04Amazing Red had a historic bow for glory as we just outlined.
00:27:08Cedric Alexander recently won a four-way matchup to capture this TNA X Division title shot,
00:27:15thanks to help from the system.
00:27:16This is Amazing Red's first defense of a TNA championship in 16 years.
00:27:26Unreal history made by the Amazing Red.
00:27:32Cedric Alexander looking to spoil that here and do it all on his own.
00:27:36As you can see, perhaps conspicuous by their absence, as you might say, the system.
00:27:41Eddie Edwards fully confident, apparently, that Cedric Alexander can do this all on his own.
00:27:47Eddie Edwards was confident, but Brian Myers and Bear Bronson got involved in the aforementioned four-way
00:27:52to help Cedric Alexander win that matchup.
00:27:55It was no disqualifications.
00:27:57That is not the case in this bout.
00:28:00It's Red versus Ced for the X Division Championship tonight on Impact.
00:28:06Eddie believes Cedric can do it on his own.
00:28:08He's seemingly convinced Cedric that he himself can do it on his own.
00:28:13Bear Bronson, who has been questioning the motivations of one Eddie Edwards as of late,
00:28:18not fully backing the system.
00:28:20But we'll see if Eddie Edwards' confidence is, are fully realized here with Cedric Alexander.
00:28:27Cedric Alexander in the early going, showing he does have the significant size and strength advantage,
00:28:32but that's not a disadvantage that Red is unfamiliar with.
00:28:36No, he's made his whole career fighting over those quote-unquote disadvantages.
00:28:40He's turned them into advantages.
00:28:42His size, his speed, his innovation of what has won him all his championship has made his career.
00:28:49We've got some exciting developments when it comes to Destination X, presented by iHeartRadio,
00:28:55two weeks away from Sunday, live on Pay Per View and TNA Plus.
00:28:58That's November 15th in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
00:29:01You can get your tickets now via TNATickets.com.
00:29:03We know Leon Slater will be defending his TNA World title against Trey Miguel.
00:29:08Return of the World X-Cup for the first time since 2008 as well.
00:29:14Well, look at this!
00:29:15Red take and play!
00:29:16Talk about the X-Cup, you talk about the X-Division.
00:29:19This is what it's all about!
00:29:23Amazing Red flattening Cedric Alexander on the outside.
00:29:29Amazing Red showing what the X-Division is all about.
00:29:33Alexander in red for the championship!
00:29:35This match continues.
00:29:36Woo!
00:29:39I chose the Bachelor's program at Walden University.
00:29:42For the X-Division Championship!
00:29:45No!
00:29:45Impact!
00:29:46Big DVD into the cover to win the title!
00:29:49Alexander, though!
00:29:51Amazing Red out at two.
00:29:53This is Red's first matchup on Impact in 15 years.
00:29:57It's Amazing Red's first defense of a TNA title in 16 years.
00:30:02Can the newly minted TNA Hall of Famer turn away one of the best wrestlers in the world in Cedric
00:30:08Alexander?
00:30:10Alexander has done a great job of doing this.
00:30:13Shutting down Red, taking him to the mat, and squeezing the oxygen out of the Amazing Red, out of the
00:30:19X-Division Champion.
00:30:21Still to come this evening, we'll see the Hardys versus Samuel Shaw and Joseph Sawyer in the Slaughterhouse 6th match.
00:30:29Who knows what carnage awaits this evening.
00:30:31Also, it's A.J. Francis up against John Schuyler.
00:30:35Last week, A.J. Francis and Mila Moore got into an altercation.
00:30:38Schuyler fights in defense of Mila.
00:30:41Like that's A.J. Francis.
00:30:42Meanwhile, Elijah wants to get his hands on one half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions.
00:30:48Ryan Nemeth, this matchup presented by the new movie Stranglehold.
00:30:52That's still to come.
00:30:52And also, we'll hear from the brand new TNA World Champion Leon Slater here in the Impact Zone ahead of
00:30:59his title defense against Trey Miguel at Destination X presented by iHeartRadio.
00:31:04But going into Destination X, who will be the X-Division Champion?
00:31:10Will the Amazing Red be able to walk out of Alabama holding the cold?
00:31:15Four-armed shiver.
00:31:17Amazing Red.
00:31:18Look at this!
00:31:19There it is, the DDT!
00:31:22Satellite DDT, they're planting Alexander who stays in the fight.
00:31:26Cedric Alexander able to get the left shoulder off the mat just in time.
00:31:30We've got to look back at this.
00:31:31This is classic Amazing Red.
00:31:33Unreal speed, coordination, and precision from the X-Division Champion.
00:31:38It is unbelievable to watch Amazing Red in a TNA ring in 2026.
00:31:44It's something we never thought would happen.
00:31:46And still competing at this incredible level.
00:31:50A man who continues to teach and influence young wrestlers all around the world.
00:31:54He's trying to set up for Cold Red.
00:31:56Absolutely, that would have done it.
00:31:58Alexander felt it coming.
00:32:00Alexander now trying to use his strength.
00:32:02Red wanted a backslide, and there's a Michinoco driver.
00:32:05It's a great way, almost here to win the title, but Red kicks out just in time.
00:32:11Alexander checking with the ref, couldn't believe that Red kicked out.
00:32:15Take another look.
00:32:16The power of Alexander with the Michinoco driver.
00:32:20The Amazing Red continues to stick with it.
00:32:29Frustration starting to build within prime, Cedric Alexander, though.
00:32:33You can see it.
00:32:34You can hear it here.
00:32:41Red, not gonna take that long down.
00:32:45Fires back with a chop of his own.
00:32:53Now these two, in a straight up slugfest for the exhibition title.
00:32:59Red, Blue, Red, Blue.
00:33:02The words of the TNA Hall of Famer, the Professor Mike Tenet.
00:33:06It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits.
00:33:09We're trying to find the limits of these two right here, right now.
00:33:15Back and forth.
00:33:17Who can gain the significant advantage here?
00:33:20Red trying to control the larger man in this matchup.
00:33:23Alexander cannot see the man in this matchup.
00:33:25Can he get him?
00:33:26What a power out.
00:33:28So close.
00:33:30Looking for another Mitch in Okinawa.
00:33:32Roll up!
00:33:33Red knew.
00:33:34He had him.
00:33:35Red is finding answers every step of the way.
00:33:37Here we go again.
00:33:39Another roll up here.
00:33:40Does he have him?
00:33:41Alexander at a two.
00:33:44Oh, my God.
00:33:46Big forearm shiver.
00:33:47Nasty strike there.
00:33:50But Red, not slowing down.
00:33:53Off of the ropes, Amazing Red sends Alexander for a ride.
00:33:56There's a big kick.
00:33:58That staggers Cedric Alexander.
00:34:02Red up to the second rope.
00:34:04Face!
00:34:05First goes Alexander.
00:34:07And now Red is starting to roll.
00:34:09Red is starting to feel it.
00:34:11Lighting him up.
00:34:12There it is to Codred!
00:34:15Codred connects!
00:34:17Amazing Red puts down Cedric Alexander.
00:34:21Here is your winner, and still the TNA X Division Champion, Amazing Red!
00:34:30Cedric Alexander gave the Amazing Red one hell of a fight,
00:34:34but the champ stays the champ.
00:34:37You have to wonder what the system is thinking.
00:34:42What a performance by the TNA Hall of Famer down the stretch in this matchup.
00:34:47Amazing Red would endure the size and strength of Cedric Alexander
00:34:52and found a way to connect with Codred.
00:34:55The longevity of Amazing Red has been absolutely incredible to watch.
00:35:00It cannot be understated.
00:35:02But I gotta wonder what Mayor Bronson and the rest of the system are thinking about this result.
00:35:08Congrats.
00:35:10Red's historic run in 2026 continues.
00:35:17Um, Heather?
00:35:18Where's Em?
00:35:19She's out some chute or something.
00:35:22Without you?
00:35:23I guess.
00:35:24Look, let me ask you something.
00:35:26How long are you gonna let her treat you like this?
00:35:29Look, ever since she became TNA Knockouts TV Champion, everything's about her.
00:35:33Her title.
00:35:35Her elegance brand.
00:35:37Look, I see what you're trying to do.
00:35:39You're just trying to start problems.
00:35:41Look, I'm not trying to start anything, alright?
00:35:43I still want that title.
00:35:45But something tells me you want it to.
00:35:50That's all I'm gonna say.
00:35:58Well, right now it's time for the TNA Injury Report presented by Stranglehold.
00:36:03Available to rent or buy now on digital.
00:36:07BDE is currently undergoing medical evaluation after his hard hitting match against Zero earlier on tonight.
00:36:13Sources indicate that BDE is experiencing issues with his back.
00:36:18His current condition remains under evaluation and further updates will be provided as they become available.
00:36:25Mustafa Ali sustained a rib injury during last week's grueling two-out-of-three falls match against Jason Hotch for
00:36:32the TNA International Championship.
00:36:34After reassessing his condition, Ali has not been medically cleared to compete tonight.
00:36:39His status beyond this evening remains uncertain.
00:36:42The TNA medical staff is bracing for what might happen tonight between the Hardys and Six.
00:36:50The location of their match is still unknown.
00:36:53The physical toll tonight could exceed what transpired between these men at Bound for Glory.
00:36:59The Slaughterhouse Six match is still to come.
00:37:03This has been the TNA Injury Report presented by Stranglehold.
00:37:09Still to come this evening, unpredictable carnage.
00:37:13The Hardys meet Shaw and Sawyer in the Slaughterhouse Six match.
00:37:17Also, we're scheduled to hear from the reigning TNA World Champion Leon Slater in the Impact Zone ahead of his
00:37:23title defense against Trey Miguel at Destination X in Edmonton.
00:37:27Meanwhile, Elijah wants some payback against the Nemeth Brothers.
00:37:31He gets his hands on Ryan Nemeth tonight.
00:37:34This matchup is presented by Stranglehold.
00:37:37But coming up next, we're gonna take a special look at the TNA Knockouts World Champion Indi Hartwell, who made
00:37:43her childhood dream into a reality at Bound for Glory.
00:37:47This is next.
00:37:50Looking for a date to AMC, DFS?
00:37:53We've got the most eligible back.
00:37:56The return of Destination X that night.
00:37:58We'll see two Ultimate X matches.
00:38:01The World X Cup is back for the first time since 2008.
00:38:04And Leon Slater makes his first defense of the TNA World title against Trey Miguel.
00:38:10Get your tickets now via TNATickets.com for Destination X, presented by iHeartRadio.
00:38:21We did it.
00:38:25That little girl watching TNA, collecting toy belts, and dreaming of holding the real thing.
00:38:31You were dreaming of a life that we actually get to live.
00:38:34From Melbourne, Australia, Indi Hartwell!
00:38:42At Bound for Glory, we stood in that ring that you're seeing on TV.
00:38:47And somewhere between all of the lights and the nerves, I remembered to think of you.
00:38:53You became like the women you watch on TV.
00:38:56The ones that made you believe that you could do it.
00:38:59Indi Hartwell has made her childhood dream become a very, very stark reality.
00:39:08And now, we get to carry that forward.
00:39:11And somewhere, there's a little girl believing that she can do it too.
00:39:16It's hard to explain how special that feels.
00:39:20I want you to know, it's not going to be easy.
00:39:24You'll slip.
00:39:25You'll fall.
00:39:27Some days, you'll need reminding why you want this.
00:39:31When those moments come, remember how you feel right now.
00:39:36Keep that excitement.
00:39:38Remember how wrestling makes you feel.
00:39:40Because one day, you're going to walk out of Bound for Glory as the Knockouts Champion.
00:39:46And be grateful for the journey.
00:39:54Indi Hartwell is one of the more remarkable stories in TNA Wrestling today.
00:39:58Yes, she suffered heartbreak last year at Bound for Glory.
00:40:02But for her to pick herself up and redeem herself at this year's Bound for Glory
00:40:06and capture the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
00:40:09Wait, wait, wait a second.
00:40:10What the hell is it?
00:40:11Oh, my God!
00:40:12Oh, my God!
00:40:13Zoe Serrano just attacked a member of her ringside security.
00:40:17Shayna Baszler, the team known as Apex, out here.
00:40:21Wait, what the?
00:40:22What the?
00:40:23What the?
00:40:24Listen up!
00:40:25All right, I'm letting everybody know.
00:40:28Daria hired me to face Indi Hartwell at Destination X.
00:40:32One-on-one for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
00:40:36Now, Indi, this feel-good story, this dream of yours, that's all fine and dandy,
00:40:41but you need to understand something.
00:40:42From here on out, it becomes a nightmare.
00:40:46And Shayna Baszler is the thing that haunts it.
00:40:52Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:40:54Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:40:56Absolute chaos out here.
00:41:00What a bombshell announcement from Shayna Baszler courtesy of Daria Ray.
00:41:07It'll be Baszler and Hartwell at Destination X for the Knockouts World Championship.
00:41:24Carly, time is up.
00:41:28We're always looking for one more.
00:41:31And you're the one.
00:41:33That's the beauty of the righteous.
00:41:35It's always better when the garden is full.
00:41:39The righteous are waiting.
00:41:44Harley, next week, we invite you to stand beside us.
00:41:52It's time to become one of the many.
00:41:58With love, Vincent and Dutch.
00:42:02Dig what I'm saying?
00:42:12I accept.
00:42:16Well, we're gonna try and collect ourselves here at ringside,
00:42:19because we're still bracing for this later on tonight.
00:42:22The Hardys versus Shaw and Sawyer.
00:42:24The Slaughterhouse Six match is still to come.
00:42:28Meanwhile, we're due to hear from the new TNA World Champion Leon Slater in the Impact Zone.
00:42:33Slater makes his first defense of the title against Trey Miguel at Destination X.
00:42:39But first, last week on Impact, we saw an altercation between AJ Brances and Mila Moore.
00:42:45Tonight, John Schuyler fights in defense of Mila.
00:42:48The full story in this match, next.
00:42:51A lot has changed since Bob's Open 35 years ago, but our values haven't.
00:42:56Like our Aspen sofa with Velvety Channel upholstery for just $390.
00:43:07Back here on Impact, it's time for the rock-solid moment of the night presented by Blue Chew.
00:43:13Red up to the second row.
00:43:15Face first goes Alexander.
00:43:18And now Red is starting to roll.
00:43:21Red is starting to feel it.
00:43:23Lighting him up.
00:43:24There it is to Code Red!
00:43:26Code Red connects!
00:43:28Amazing Red puts down Cedric Alexander.
00:43:33Here is your winner, and still, the TNA X Division Champion, Amazing Red!

00:43:50You already know what it is.
00:43:52Fire and Flavor are back in the building!
00:43:56And it's about time, because honestly, with Ally, what even was that?
00:44:00It was dead weight.
00:44:02You were holding me down, you were holding me back, and obviously I had to upgrade.
00:44:07Mmm, now that we done dropped the dead weight of Ally, oh!
00:44:10Oh, who wants to join in?
00:44:12That's the Bat Lady Shotzi.
00:44:14You wanted to get your nose in our business.
00:44:17Well, Shotzi, listen, you know what we do when people want to get in our business?
00:44:21What we do?
00:44:21We give them a one-way ticket straight to Pettiville.
00:44:26Bye-bye!
00:44:26Ooh, we give you a permanent residency there.
00:44:29Shotzi, you gonna learn the hard way not to mess with fire and flavor.
00:44:34And as a matter of fact, Shotzi and Ally, if you both think you can swing it, then bring it.
00:44:40And that's on what period?
00:44:47Dolphin, Alabama!
00:44:53My name is Expressions, and if this place is the peanut capital of the world, then everyone must be allergic
00:45:03to peanuts, because nobody wants to live in Alabama!
00:45:14Get on your feet and show some respect for the best big man in the business, DNA!
00:45:23J.J. Francis!
00:45:30I really wish the Hardys had taken out Expressions for Good a few weeks ago.
00:45:33Well, they didn't, and they stand tall here, and nobody stands taller than the big man, A.J. Francis!
00:45:44Funny! Funny! Funny!
00:45:47But in the past week on DNA social and digital platforms, we saw an altercation between A.J. Francis and
00:45:54Mila Moore, where A.J. Francis was disrespecting Mila Moore.
00:45:58Mila laughed at the idea of A.J.
00:46:01Mila Moore laughed at the idea of A.J. Francis running DNA.
00:46:04I agree with Mila Moore. A.J. then insulted Mila, and that prompted John Schuyler to come to the defense
00:46:11of his new girlfriend, Mila Moore.
00:46:14Mila Moore made the mistake. She's laughing at A.J. Francis, laughing at Expressions. That's disrespect! This business is all
00:46:21about respect!
00:46:24I think there's plenty to laugh at when it comes to Expressions.
00:46:27I'll let him hear you say that. Come over here!
00:46:37And his opponent, accompanied by Mila Moore, from Columbia, South Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, John Schuyler!
00:46:46There is a renewed energy, a renewed vigor when it comes to John Schuyler, especially in the wake of Bound
00:46:52for Glory.
00:46:53Emerging from the order of Glory, John Schuyler feels like he's a new man.
00:46:58Look, I can totally respect that. I can understand that when you find the right person, especially someone in your
00:47:03life.
00:47:04It gives you a reason to fight. Someone to fight for. That's what Schuyler found.
00:47:08A.J.'s just salty. The Hardys beat him in Expressions two weeks ago.
00:47:12Francis has a better shot at becoming the new head football coach at Maryland than ever calling the shots here
00:47:17at TNA Wrestling.
00:47:18Meanwhile, I'm just begging Pablo Dore to investigate Expressions' beloved Tottenham Hotspur.
00:47:24I'm with Schuyler on this one.
00:47:25Let's see if that'll be enough to lead him to a victory as well! Expressions!
00:47:29And you saw Expressions hanging out in the literal corner of John Schuyler to try and distract Schuyler as the
00:47:35bell rung.
00:47:36And the match got underway.
00:47:38Schuyler is gonna have to dig down deep in this one.
00:47:40He's got a strong, strong experience advantage over A.J. Francis and immediately sends the big man to the outside.
00:47:52Now John Schuyler over the top and he got enough of A.J. Francis to bring him down.
00:47:58You can see John Schuyler crying too much.
00:48:01Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:48:03Expressions thought he was gonna get a cheap shot on Schuyler.
00:48:06Referee Michael Romo all over this thing and now A.J. Francis attacks Schuyler from behind.
00:48:14And the fix is in. Expressions worth his weight in gold for the big man.
00:48:20Expressions creates a distraction and Francis capitalizes.
00:48:24We've seen that for months here at TNA.
00:48:26And it's been very effective.
00:48:27Yeah, it's called cheating and bending the rules.
00:48:29And it's very effective.
00:48:34Cha-ching! Time to take a sip!
00:48:36A little Tennessee whiskey, courtesy of A.J. Francis.
00:48:41The action continues here in Dothan, Alabama tonight.
00:48:44We hope you'll join us two weeks from Sunday, November 15th for Destination X in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
00:48:51Destination X is presented by iHeartRadio then November 18th and 19th.
00:48:55Two nights of TNA Impact in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
00:48:58Be a part of the biggest Hardy Party ever on December 16th in El Paso, Texas at the Speaking Rock
00:49:04Casino.
00:49:05And on December 18th and 19th, two nights of TNA Impact in El Paso, Texas.
00:49:10You can get your tickets now and plenty of information for all these events at TNAwrestling.com.
00:49:15And Expressions and Mila Moore getting into it at ringside.
00:49:19Expressions made me think if he could move her away.
00:49:24Oh!
00:49:25Schuyler, though, digging down deep, trying to find the fight.
00:49:30Taking it to the big man.
00:49:31And you have to respect the fight, and John Schuyler standing up for Mila Moore.
00:49:35Certainly, no doubt about it.
00:49:37No easy feat when your opponent is A.J. Francis and Expressions on the outside.
00:49:41Boom!
00:49:43Slingshot spear!
00:49:43There it is.
00:49:44Isn't it enough?
00:49:45Paul Francis able to power out.
00:49:49Impressive showing here from Schuyler, though, able to take the big man down on multiple occasions in this match.
00:49:54Listen, we have the self-proclaimed best big man of the business up against the short king, John Schuyler.
00:49:59And the love of a good woman does a body good, I'll tell you that much.
00:50:03Much of the chagrin of Expressions on the outside who, once again, making his presence known.
00:50:14The referee telling Expressions to get off of the apron.
00:50:17Now there's Mila Moore.
00:50:17Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:50:18Oh!
00:50:19And Francis drove Schuyler into Mila!
00:50:24Schuyler, of course, incredibly concerned about Mila Moore.
00:50:27She might have hurt her ankle there.
00:50:29But he's got to pay attention.
00:50:31Turn around, look out, John.
00:50:33The referee's checking on Mila Moore on the outside on.
00:50:36Schuyler attacked from behind by Francis.
00:50:38Man, I can't say I would have done anything different in Schuyler's situation.
00:50:41You've got to look out for your people.
00:50:43But look at this!
00:50:44Off of the ropes!
00:50:46Schuyler's got him!
00:50:47One, two, three!
00:50:50Schuyler could have the win right there!
00:50:51The referee's back into position.
00:50:53Is it up?
00:50:54Oh!
00:50:55Schuyler should have had the victory against Francis right there.
00:50:59Precious seconds passed, though.
00:51:02And that cost Schuyler dearly.
00:51:04Yep, and enough in for Expressions getting involved.
00:51:09Francis driving Schuyler into Mila.
00:51:12Schuyler, obviously, of course, concerned about Mila Moore.
00:51:16Obviously, his mind is in a totally different place.
00:51:19Oh, Expressions, now!
00:51:20Expressions, get out of here!
00:51:22He's just trying to help, though, Tom!
00:51:24Back inside the ring, Schuyler.
00:51:26Oh!
00:51:26He with a TFL!
00:51:28And Francis not telling the exclamation point.
00:51:32The down payment!
00:51:36And just like that, Francis takes care of business against John Schuyler.
00:51:43Here's your winner, A.J. Francis!
00:51:50And the mind, the heart of John Schuyler torn in two different places at the end of this matchup.
00:51:57Nearly impossible for him to focus on what he needed to, but that's the brace.
00:52:03Here's how it went down.
00:52:04Mila Moore trying to get rid of Expressions, but ended up paying the price.
00:52:09That distracted Schuyler, allowing Francis to score big time and ultimately nail the down payment and get the one, two,
00:52:21three.
00:52:23You have to give credit to John Schuyler.
00:52:25He stood up for his girlfriend, Mila Moore.
00:52:27But in the end, the antics of Expressions at A.J. Francis helped them bend the rules once again and
00:52:35score a victory here on Impact.
00:52:38There's gonna be trouble in the household of Schuyler and Moore, you gotta imagine.
00:52:49You okay?
00:52:50I'm good.
00:52:51You good?
00:52:52Are you happy?
00:52:53Are you happy?
00:52:54What I'm talking about, happy about what?
00:52:56Happy about what?
00:52:57You know what?
00:52:58For once, I wanna know something.
00:53:00What?
00:53:01I wanna know if Eddie Edwards has gone soft, because right here, this is your fault.
00:53:07Oh, yeah.
00:53:08This is your fault.
00:53:09Oh, you got a big mouth, big boy, huh?
00:53:10Yeah, yeah.
00:53:11What do you wanna know about it?
00:53:12I'm challenging you.
00:53:14Yeah.
00:53:15No.
00:53:16Yeah.
00:53:17I'm challenging you to a match, because I'm sick of this.
00:53:21Okay, tell me more.
00:53:21I'm sick of the way we're doing things.
00:53:23Tell me more.
00:53:24I'm challenging you to a match, and guess what?
00:53:26If Bear Bronson wins, Bear Bronson calls the shots in the system.
00:53:32I love it.
00:53:33I love it.
00:53:33How about this?
00:53:34I like that.
00:53:34You win, you call the shots.
00:53:35If I win, you will shut your mouth, you will fall back in line, and the system will roll
00:53:41on like we're meant to.
00:53:42Guys, come on.
00:53:44I like it.
00:53:44Let's do it.
00:53:45Come on, guys.
00:53:46Let's do it.
00:53:47Let's do it.
00:53:48Let's do it.
00:53:49Come on.
00:53:49Let's do it.
00:53:50Let's do it.
00:53:51You're on.
00:53:52You're on, Eddie!
00:53:55Are we witnessing a system meltdown?
00:53:58Meanwhile, come Destination X in Edmonton, we will witness Leon Slater's first defense
00:54:03of the TNA world title against Trey Miguel.
00:54:06Slater will be in the impact zone next.
00:54:11Time to party in here.
00:54:16We take over Edmonton, Alberta, Canada for Destination X.
00:54:21Then we visit Calgary for two nights of impact on November 18th and 19th.
00:54:26On December 16th, join us for the biggest party party ever at the Speaking Rock Casino
00:54:31in El Paso, Texas, followed by two nights of impact on December 18th and 19th at the El Paso County
00:54:38Coliseum.
00:54:39You can get your tickets now for all these events via TMAwrestling.com.
00:54:49How was your conversation with the board?
00:54:51Not great, considering you're staying.
00:54:53Correct.
00:54:55And you were appointed by the board, so I can't suspend you or fire you or hit you or really
00:55:03anything.
00:55:05So, since you're going to be following me around like my little puppy dog, let me explain something to you.
00:55:11You're going to see the way things really work around here.
00:55:15That'd be great. Thank you.
00:55:18You were pretty desperate, huh? Trying to get a job for what, a year and a half?
00:55:21Emails? Phone calls?
00:55:24Listen, I would do anything to keep a job here at TNA. I'm a company man.
00:55:32Interesting.
00:55:40I'm glad to see Bryan Johnson's here to provide some oversight when it comes to Derriere.
00:55:44But perhaps she sees something in Bryan Johnson that she didn't before.
00:55:50Meanwhile, back here in the Impact Zone, we're joined by the TNA World Champion.
00:56:01Please welcome the TNA World Champion, Leon Slater!
00:56:09Two weeks from Sunday on November 15th in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
00:56:15We'll be live on Pay Per View and TNA Plus.
00:56:18Leon Slater will defend his TNA World Championship against Trey Miguel at Destination X, presented by iHeartRadio.
00:56:27The first defense in the historic reign of Leon Slater, the youngest TNA World Champion of all time.
00:56:37But we know Trey Miguel is highly motivated as well.
00:56:40It was a classy move by Leon Slater last week at the conclusion of Impact to support Jason Hodge after
00:56:45he defeated Mustafa Ali in defense of the TNA International Championship.
00:56:50The rising stars of TNA are taking over.
00:56:54Dolton!
00:56:56You good, yeah?
00:56:57Yeah!
00:56:59Nah, nah, nah, nah.
00:57:00It might be the accent.
00:57:01I kind of get in trouble with it.
00:57:03I said, Dolton, are you good, yeah?
00:57:06Yeah!
00:57:08That's why I like it, man.
00:57:10That's why I like it.
00:57:11And I can't lie, I'm doing pretty good as well because I'm stood here as your TNA World Champion.
00:57:22I mean, honestly, my life since Bound for Glory has been a dream and it's one that I don't want
00:57:29to wake up from.
00:57:31Because I remember a time in my life when my life wasn't so dreamy, you know?
00:57:37And it was looking a little bit more like a nightmare.
00:57:44You know, growing up how I grew up with my dad's absence, it wasn't easy.
00:57:53And it would have been easy for me to stray down a bad path, you know?
00:57:58And do the wrong thing just to get to the right place, but I didn't.
00:58:03Because my mum and my sister always believed in me.
00:58:12They always believed I can do it and for that, they always sacrificed.
00:58:19And you know that sacrifice is something that I'm still trying to pay off to this day
00:58:23because they used to drive me up and down and left and right all across the country
00:58:28just to get to training to have an opportunity to stand here in front of you guys today.
00:58:50You know, feeling that way, it made me make a promise to myself that I would pay that debt off
00:58:55and I would make it all worth it.
00:58:57So now I am more than proud to say, here is your TNA World Champion, that I'm paying it off!
00:59:21You guys are trying to make me cry like you did at Bound for Glory or what?
00:59:24Seriously, man. Seriously.
00:59:28And you know, I'm no stranger to being a champion here in TNA.
00:59:31I mean, I'm a two-time and the youngest ever X Division champion in company history.
00:59:38And with the X Division title, I laid a blueprint for exactly what I want this world title reign to
00:59:44be.
00:59:44I broke records that will never be broken again.
00:59:47I had matches that will forever be remembered and I took on all challenges.
00:59:56Which, funnily enough, brings me to Destination X and brings me to someone I have the utmost respect for in
01:00:03Trey Miguel.
01:00:07And Trey, I know you're back there, brother.
01:00:09Last week you walked up on me backstage and I feel like we got off on the wrong foot
01:00:13and I'm never the type of guy to talk behind someone's back.
01:00:17So, why don't you come join us out here, man? I got something to say.
01:00:37Trey Miguel has been a part of TNA Wrestling for the better part of the last eight years.
01:00:41He's only earned one other singles TNA World Title shot in his entire career. That was six years ago.
01:00:52Trey Miguel has been preparing himself for this opportunity at Destination X.
01:00:56Trey vocal, Trey vocal, what's up?
01:01:10What's up…
01:01:10What's up champ?
01:01:12You got something to say?
01:01:13I'm here to hear it, brother.
01:01:16You know, Trey
01:01:18While we stand here in Dolphin
01:01:23I wanted to be honest with you
01:01:25I wanted to look you in the eyes when I tell you this
01:01:27I think me and you are more similar than we even realize
01:01:30You've been through a lot in your personal life
01:01:32And you've been through a lot here in TNA
01:01:34But the one thing we have in common is that we keep on fighting
01:01:43But Trey
01:01:45I'm afraid that that's where the similarities may end, my friend
01:01:50Because the difference between me and you
01:01:52Is that you've never held this
01:01:59And I don't want you to think that I'm taking you lightly
01:02:02Or I'm overlooking you
01:02:04Because I appreciate the challenge that you present
01:02:07I know y'all gonna give me everything at Destination X
01:02:11I know you might even try and shoot one of them little webs at me too
01:02:14And I'm prepared, brother
01:02:20But Trey
01:02:23I truly believe
01:02:25That the world can be yours
01:02:29And there's no shame in losing in a match that's gonna last forever
01:02:35But it can't be yours
01:02:37Until I'm done with it first
01:02:39I hear you, Leon
01:02:55But before I shake your hand
01:02:58I need you to listen to me
01:03:00You are absolutely right
01:03:05We have a lot in common
01:03:07We have both fought for everything that we have
01:03:12But when you say that
01:03:13You fought your entire life
01:03:16It doesn't mean quite the same as when I say
01:03:18I fought my entire life, Leon
01:03:23You are so young
01:03:26It has been eight years since my first match in TNA
01:03:30And you were only 14 years old when that happened
01:03:34It's been six years since the last time I got an opportunity at that TNA World Championship
01:03:44Like I said last week, I don't know when I'll have another opportunity
01:03:49And I don't know if I'll have another opportunity
01:03:55You have no idea what this entire year has been like for me
01:03:59I've been abandoned by the rascals
01:04:01I had to stand on my own two feet when there was no one left for me
01:04:04Tell me
01:04:06Tell me, I can see it in your eyes
01:04:08Tell me, tell me
01:04:10You know what, Leon?
01:04:11Leon, I respect you though
01:04:14I respect you
01:04:15There's no need to get that hot
01:04:17You set out to do something
01:04:19And you did it
01:04:21And you got to have that moment with your family
01:04:24And the people that love you
01:04:25And the people that you love
01:04:26And I want the same thing for me
01:04:29My people deserve the same thing
01:04:39So hear me when I say this
01:04:41I will not stop until every fiber in my being is dried up
01:04:46And even then
01:04:47I will keep going
01:04:49I will keep scratching
01:04:50I will keep clawing
01:04:51Until I meet that light at the end of the tunnel
01:04:53And I finally, finally, finally
01:04:56Become the TNA World Champion
01:05:16Trey Mikkel
01:05:18Is focused
01:05:20Leon Slater
01:05:22Is confident
01:05:24There is an energy between these two
01:05:27I have not felt in a long time
01:05:29I cannot wait for Destination X
01:05:33If you can see it
01:05:34And you can speak it
01:05:36The world is yours
01:05:38Who will own the TNA World title
01:05:41In the wake of Destination X
01:05:46If it wasn't for Christmas

01:07:07On digital
01:07:08You know what Tom
01:07:09I am told
01:07:10Oh look
01:07:10The Stranglehold
01:07:11There it is
01:07:12Right there
01:07:12I am told
01:07:13Ryan didn't even have to audition
01:07:14For the movie
01:07:15Straight up offered by the director
01:07:17Clark Duke
01:07:18That's the kind of opportunity
01:07:19You get
01:07:19When you're the Hollywood hunk
01:07:21And you've got gold
01:07:21Around your waist
01:07:22The Stranglehold was written by the Duke brothers
01:07:24Clark and Chandler
01:07:25Maybe they relate to the Nemeth brothers on some level
01:07:28Yeah
01:07:29No kidding they do
01:07:30They want to be the greatest brother team in show business
01:07:32So why not
01:07:33You know
01:07:34Follow after the greatest brother tag team
01:07:36In the wrestling business
01:07:39Big chop across the chest there by Elijah
01:07:43Elijah has got his issues with the Nemeth brothers
01:07:45He wants to get his hands on Nick Nemeth
01:07:47But Ryan Nemeth shot his mouth off recently
01:07:50And oh
01:07:51Elijah bound to kick both the backsides of both the Nemeth brothers
01:07:56Whether I like it or not
01:07:58He's doing a good job right now
01:07:59Right here with Ryan Nemeth
01:08:01You have to imagine
01:08:02Nick Nemeth watching somewhere with
01:08:04Not exactly a smile on his face
01:08:09But I give Ryan Nemeth
01:08:11The Hollywood star I might add
01:08:13Shout out Stranglehold
01:08:14We see you
01:08:17You better be careful around the face of Ryan Nemeth
01:08:20That's all I'm going to say to Elijah here
01:08:21I think Elijah can do whatever he wants
01:08:23No no no this is not no disqualification
01:08:25Hey hands off the merchandise
01:08:29Face first into the apron
01:08:31Where steel meets wood
01:08:32Elijah back inside
01:08:35Remember it was weeks ago
01:08:37During the ladder match created by the Hardys
01:08:39To determine the number one contender
01:08:41To the TNA World Championship
01:08:42From Destination X
01:08:44Presented by iHeartRadio
01:08:46Elijah looked like he was going to win that match
01:08:49And become the number one contender
01:08:51And then Nick Nemeth
01:08:52Screwed Elijah out of the title shot
01:08:55And there's no denying
01:08:56Elijah was literally fingertips away
01:08:58From that contract
01:09:00From having his opportunity at Destination X
01:09:04But Nick Nemeth
01:09:05You know you said it
01:09:07Absolutely perturbed
01:09:09Absolutely pissed off
01:09:11I may as well just say
01:09:12That his contractual rematch
01:09:14Was not granted to him
01:09:15Off the neck breaker
01:09:16Ryan Nemeth
01:09:17They were able to turn things around
01:09:18Can you blame Elijah?
01:09:20You and I have known him for years
01:09:22Elijah is still pursuing his first
01:09:24Major championship in professional wrestling
01:09:26That's very true
01:09:27But I also can't blame Nick Nemeth
01:09:30For being so upset
01:09:31And Santino Morello
01:09:33For not granting his rematch
01:09:34Well Ryan Nemeth
01:09:36Won half of the TNA World Tag Team Champions
01:09:39Alongside his brother Nick
01:09:42Curious what Ryan's got planned here
01:09:45Oh wait
01:09:46He's got the handkerchief
01:09:47I think it's another stranglehold
01:09:49Baby
01:09:50You can buy a rent right now
01:09:54Digital and on demand
01:09:55Courtesy of Ryan Nemeth
01:09:57Very clear plan for Ryan Nemeth
01:09:59In this matchup
01:10:00Whoa, whoa, whoa
01:10:01Oh
01:10:03Elijah taking down
01:10:05One half of the Tag Champs
01:10:08No, no, no, no, no, no
01:10:09This will make Hollywood superstar
01:10:11Clark Duke
01:10:12Very upset
01:10:14Oh my God
01:10:15Get that weapon out of his hand
01:10:17I think Rod Perlman
01:10:18Might love this actually
01:10:21That's a weapon
01:10:21That is a foreign object
01:10:25Now Elijah
01:10:26Oh charging at Ryan Nemeth
01:10:27Ryan gets the boot up in time
01:10:30Ryan
01:10:31Ryan now
01:10:31Looking for a
01:10:32Oh no
01:10:33Oh nobody wants to see
01:10:34Window of opportunity here
01:10:36Nobody deserves to see that
01:10:38Big connection there
01:10:40With the kick by Elijah
01:10:41Ryan Nemeth is stunned
01:10:47And now the Highwayman's farewell
01:10:50Good night Ryan
01:10:53Elijah's got a stranglehold
01:10:54On the Nemeth brothers
01:10:56Here is our winner
01:11:02Elijah
01:11:03Elijah
01:11:03Elijah
01:11:03Firing the first shot
01:11:05At the Nemeth brothers
01:11:08But you have to wonder
01:11:09Where
01:11:10And I was just going on
01:11:12To say
01:11:12Nick Nemeth
01:11:13Oh there's the wanted man
01:11:14Nick Nemeth
01:11:15The former
01:11:16TNA World Champion
01:11:17Who's been incensed
01:11:19Ever since
01:11:19Bow for Glory
01:11:20He took it out
01:11:22And Elijah
01:11:22In that ladder match
01:11:23And now
01:11:25Continues that assault
01:11:29Backing up
01:11:30The Hollywood Hulk
01:11:31Backing up
01:11:32His brother
01:11:32That's what a good brother
01:11:34And tag team partner
01:11:35Does
01:11:37Nick Nemeth
01:11:38Checking on his brother
01:11:39Ryan
01:11:40Nick threw an absolute
01:11:41Temper tantrum
01:11:43A few weeks ago
01:11:43On Impact
01:11:45As the Hardys
01:11:46Made Nick and Ryan
01:11:47Face each other
01:11:48That night
01:11:48And now
01:11:50Wait a second
01:11:52Look out
01:11:53No
01:11:56Thank goodness
01:11:58Nick Nemeth avoided
01:11:59The contact
01:12:00But poor
01:12:00Ryan
01:12:01Paid the price
01:12:06Maybe the Duke brothers
01:12:08Will make another movie
01:12:09Featuring Elijah
01:12:10And Ryan
01:12:11Nemeth
