The road to Slammiversary gets heated tonight on TNA Impact as some Knockouts inch closer towards the gold.
The IInspiration is set to take on Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard in tag team action tonight. Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay have their sights set on the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships, but Crow and Blanchard have some score to settle after their fumble at the previous Battle Royal. In commentary for this match is Indi Hartwell supporting her fellow countrywomen.
The match is off to an IIconic start, but Lee quickly gets cornered at the hands of Blanchard and Crawford. McKay makes the hot tag in and sends Blanchard spilling to the outside. Hartwell and Blanchard have a confrontation meanwhile The IInspiration hits the IIdolizer on Crawford to pick up the win.
Post-match, Hartwell and Blanchard start brawling as security tries to break them up. Hartwell then announces that she wants to face her at Slammiversary.
The match between Hartwell and Blanchard is made official. Meanwhile coming off their win, The IInspiration officially has their shot at the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships at Slammiversary, which The Elegance Brand holds.
The TNA Knockouts World Championship is on the line tonight as Masha Slamovich defends against her former tag team partner Killer Kelly. This bout is set to be a chain match, and these two are no strangers when it comes to some whips and chains.
The chain itself provides very unique offense for both competitors. Both continue to go back and forth around the ring with the chain and end up on the stage ramp. Kelly suplexes Slamovich on the ramp and drags her back to the ring only for a two-count.
Kelly hits the Angel Wings only for another two-count and Slamovich retaliates with The Snowplow only for a near fall as well. Slamovich realizes she must do whatever it takes and chokes out Kelly to retain her title.
Post-match, Fatal Influence attacks Slamovich from behind and Jacy Jayne seems very interested in adding the Knockouts Championship alongside her NXT Women’s Championship. Lei Ying Lee and Xia Brookside come to make the save, but Fatal Influence made their message heard.
Santino Marella and Arianna Grace announce that at Slammiversary the Knockouts Championship will be contested in a Title vs Title match with Jayne’s NXT title also being on the line. The fate of the NXT title and Slammiversary will be decided at WWE Evolution as Jayne defends her title against former Knockouts Champion, Jordynne Grace.
Next week, we are in store for some more Knockouts tag team action as The Elegance Brand takes on Myla Grace and Harley Hudson, along with Jayne and Fallon Henley taking on Slamovich and Lee.
