Report: Chelsea Green Not In WrestleMania Plans, Pitches Were Made

The WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green is currently not involved with this weekend’s WrestleMania card. Fellow mid-card champion, Lyra Valkyria (WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion) is in action but with Bayley going after the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles currently held by Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez.

In a report by Fightful Select, although Green is not scheduled for a match, pitches were made.

Sources have told Fightful that certain pitches such as the idea of Green hosting the show, as well as her feud with Zelina leading to a match. There were also takes about Green holding an open challenge for her title. Among the names thrown out were Alexa Bliss and Nikki Bella

Fightful has not heard of any plans adjusting so far for Green, but they were told that there is a possibility things could get added to WrestleMania as the format is finalized and things adjust.

In a recent signing, Nikki Bella discusses wanting to face Green and is waiting for her to have an open challenge. “Chelsea Green,” Nikki said on a Fanatics Live Signing when asked who she wanted to face. “I’m waiting for her to have an open challenge. I might just show up. I keep all my stuff on me, just in case.” Nikki has been said to be returning to WWE in a possible part time contract following her return at the Royal Rumble earlier this year.

Masha Slamovich and Joe Hendry Are Unbreakable; Victoria Crawford Gets Involved

Knockouts action is back-to-back tonight as after Impact, TNA is live in Las Vegas for TNA Unbreakable.

In an interesting turn of events, the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Masha Slamovich, teams up with TNA World Champion, Joe Hendry, to take on Frankie Kazarian and Tessa Blanchard.

Before tonight’s match, Blanchard says that she’ll take the title at TNA Rebellion but has plans to break her before that.

The stars are out in Vegas tonight as a former WWE legend, Victoria Crawford aka Alicia Fox, is in attendance!

Blanchard and Slamovich make their way into the match and the Knockouts Champion is fired up tonight. Slamovich takes a dive out to the ring and Blanchard is flustered until Crawford puts her hands on Slamovich. Unfortunately, this allows Blanchard to take advantage.

Slamovich tries to survive the onslaught of Blanchard and Kazarian, but in a miscue Kazarian lariats Blanchard. This allows Hendry to finish off Kazarian and pick up the win.


ROH: La Catalina Becomes No. 1 Contender, Red Velvet Returns!

0

Hello everyone, welcome to the honor club! Last night in a special YouTube prelude episode, Taya Valkyrie faced off against La Catalina in a number one contenders match for a future ROH Television Title match.

Before the match started, we got the return of La Chef and the reigning ROH Women’s World Television Champion, Red Velvet.

Speaking in Spanglish, she sent a message to her future possible contenders, labeling them as “pendejas” and assuring them that she does not care who wins since she always gets her lick back and she does not back down.

Valkyrie, who made her career in México, is no stranger to La Catalina’s Lucha Libre style, and with zero miedo shook La Diva’s hand, trying to intimidate her contender eye to eye.

La Wera Loca took control for most of the match, taking the fight to the outside. She threw La Diva to the barricade to later work on her leg with an ankle lock.

Motivated by the crowd La Catalina fought back only to be hit right back with a meteora to the corner followed by a blue thunder bomb for a near fall.

La Catalina channeled her inner diva, hitting the X Factor, yet it was not enough. With lipstick on her teeth, Taya hit a spear for a two count. She then took time to taunt the audience; such distraction allowed the Chilean Amazon to hit an electric chair and a diving plancha for the win.

The match has yet to have an official date, but with Grand Slam México being freshly announced, we should expect more crossover matches soon.

Toni Storm & Kris Statlander Have A Staredown To End Collision

AEW Collision was on a special night and aired on Thursday, April 17 instead of its normal Saturday showing. In the main event, the team of Kris Statlander & Julia Hart took on Mercedes Moné & Harley Cameron. The AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm was on commentary.


In a shocking result, Statlander and Hart picked up the win. This is the second time in a month that Moné and Cameron lost in tag team action. The first was against Hart and Athena. Both times Cameron took the fall and Moné still hasn’t been pinned or submitted in AEW.

Post-match, Statlander and Storm had a staredown. There are three women left vying for the Owen Hart cup victory, the winner to challenge Storm at All In. Moné has punched her ticket to the finals after a win over Athena and Statlander will challenge Jamie Hayter on Dynamite next week.

Megan Bayne was in action on Collision as well. She defeated both Ashley Vox and Rebecca Scott in less than 90 seconds.

Triple Dose of TNA Knockouts Action on Countdown To Unbreakable

It’s the Countdown to Unbreakable on this version of TNA Impact! as the Knockouts are finally back in action tonight as they take on the forces of NXT.

First up, Xia Brookside is in one-on-one action against NXT’s Jazmyn Nyx. Nyx is of course accompanied by Fatal Influence, but on Brookside’s corner is Lei Ying Lee.

Brookside locks up with Nyx and does a little showboating, but Nyx finds an opening by playing a bit dirty. Nyx’s offense is halted as Brookside lands a hard kick to her skull. 

In the corner, Brookside lands Broken Wings, but Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne decide to get involved with a distraction. Out of the blue, Rosemary appears and mists Jayne in the face. Nyx attempts to get the advantage but ends up getting rolled up as Brookside picks up the win.

NXT’s Chemical X have had their eyes on the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions that Ash and Heather By Elegance hold. With Ash currently on vacation, Heather and George Iceman have taken interest in TNA’s newest Knockout, Maggie Lee. Heather hopes to take Lee into the Elegance Brand as they face Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley tonight.

Iceman introduces Lee and says she looks very homely…

Lee starts it off with Dolin, but Heather refuses to tag Lee in as she gets a dose of Chemical X. However, Iceman causes a distraction for Lee and Heather to take control of the match.

Chemical X manages to isolate Lee to the outside and double-team Heather to get a victory over one-half of the tag team champions.

Heather is backstage panicking about what Ash will think but is soon to be overwhelmed by all the competition. She doesn’t care who it is but gives them all a title shot to get them off her back.

Next, we hear from the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Masha Slamovich, as she teams up with Joe Hendry to take on the likes of Tessa Blanchard and Frankie Kazarian tonight on TNA Unbreakable.

The Meta Girls of NXT have sights for the TNA tag titles but have crossed paths with the former champions, Spitfire for a while now. Tonight, Jakara Jackson has a chance to face Dani Luna, one-on-one.

Jackson takes the fight to Luna but learns real quick what the former Knockouts tag champ has up her sleeve. Legend however sees an opening and takes down Luna on the ring apron. The referee attempts to eject Legend from the ring but says it’s not going to be that easy.

Despite that, Jakara is in the driver seat for a moment until Luna gets her footing back. She hits the Luna Landing and picks up the win against Jackson.

What did you think of tonight’s TNA Impact? Who comes out on top in this tag team division? Does Rosemary have more in store for Brookside? And can Slamovich live up to her word? Let us know in the comments below!

TNA Knockouts Tag Team Titles Four Way Match Added To Rebellion

TNA and NXT are set to battle it out for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Titles!!

Three teams have valid claims and reasons why they should be getting a tag title shot: former champions Spitfire, NXT’s Meta-girls, and NXT’s Tatum Paxley & Gigi Dolin. They all approached Heather by Elegance who broke down (without her co-champion Ash) and agreed to take on all of the teams.

This is the second Knockouts match that has been added to Rebellion. Masha Slamovich will be defending the Knockouts World Title against Tessa Blanchard.

The Meta-Girls and Paxley/Dolin have an opportunity to become double tag team champions if one of them wins at NXT’s Stand & Deliver this Saturday and then defeats the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champkons. They are in a Fatal Four Way which includes Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez and Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Jacy Jayne). The winner of that faces the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions on the April 22 episode of NXT.

The current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions are Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, but they face Bayley and the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria this weekend at WrestleMania.

So could the Meta-Girls of Paxley/Dolin be walking into TNA’s Rebellion already as champs? Rebellion takes place on April 27.

Chelsea Green On Rematch With Penta: “I Don’t Think So Pal, We’re Good”

Chelsea Green at one time had a match with Penta in Lucha Underground and she isn’t ready for a rematch.

While having her recent sit down interview with Chris Van Vliet, she was asked about her LU match with Penta in 2018. At the time, Green went by the name Reklusa. When asked about the match and now that Penta is in WWE, it has sparked some attention. Green says she recently ran into Penta in the hallway during a show in Toronto, and he asked her for a rematch.

”We ran into each other in the hall in Toronto and he was like, ‘you and me, rematch?’ I don’t think so pal. I think we’re good. We did our one match and everyone loves it, let’s not.”

Green goes on to say how everyone in LU was so kind to her. Penta would go on to win the match, but Marty Martinez (Martin Casaus) and Reklusa would go on to douse Penta in gasoline and light the lighter. Both Green and Van Vliet share sentiments of how niche LU was, especially to a WWE audience.

Tiffany Stratton Says Split Screen Promo Was Charlotte “Being A Big, Mean, Veteran”

0

The WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton is continuing to use her rookie, albeit champion, status to her advantage. In the build to her WrestleMania match against Charlotte Flair, Stratton has been on the receiving end of some brutal moments. One being the split screen promo a number of weeks back between the two competitors.

While speaking in an interview with Gorilla Position, Stratton commented on the promo that happened in the split screen moment. Flair was said to have benefited the most from that exchange with some fans even saying she “buried” the champion.

“Of course I hear all the noise. Twitter didn’t let me not hear all the noise. Congratulations to Charlotte, a fifteen-year veteran who buried a rookie in an interview. I hope she got all the TV time she so desperately needs because clearly she needs it more than I do. Going into WrestleMania, I’m focused on beating her. If it were to happen where Charlotte beats me, I’ve got another WrestleMania, at least ten more,” said Tiffany. (Transcript: Fightful)

Asked if she thought Charlotte was testing her, Tiffany replied, “I don’t know about test. I do feel like there was a little bit of interrupting and kind of not letting me get anything I wanted to say out. I wouldn’t say test. Moreso being a big, mean, veteran.”

This interview was taped before the following offscript moment between the two took place in the ring a couple of weeks later.

Stratton will have her first WrestleMania match this weekend and walk in as a champion. She has held the gold since cashing in on Nia Jax in January.

Diva Dirt’s Top 30 Women Wrestlers Under 30, No. 14: Kelani Jordan

0


Diva Dirt has kicked off our Top 30 Women Wrestlers Under 30 as of April 1. Below you will find links to the list so far as well as the newest name on the list. 

14. Kelani Jordan 26yo NXT

Kelani Jordan is one of the current biggest names in NXT and she is one of the fastest rising stars. Already having the accolade as the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion, she is attempting to become the first two-time champion this weekend at Stand & Deliver.

Kelani, real name Lea Mitchell, has a background as an artistic gymnast and is a homegrown talent with NXT. She signed with WWE in 2022 and made her debut almost a year later in 2023 as Dana Brooke‘s protege. In her short two plus years with the company, Kelani has participated in big matches such as the Iron Survivor Challenge and participated in the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament.

Kelani has already worked with a number of main roster talent including Michin, Jade Cargill, and Bianca Belair. She is currently testing the waters as a heel character.

Countdown to WrestleMania: Ranking All Women’s WrestleMania Matches No. 8 & 7

The countdown to this year’s WrestleMania is in full swing. WrestleMania 41 takes place on the weekend of April 19 and 20. 52 (really 55) matches in the history of WrestleMania include women. Diva Dirt will countdown two matches daily to rank all 52 leading up to this year’s event. You can check out the full list so far at the bottom of this article.

Now onto 8 & 7!

NOTE: It is getting extremely hard to pick the rest of this list and rank them as there are really no “bad matches” left.

A bonus article with two additional matches from WrestleMania will go up later today.

8. WrestleMania 22

Mickie James def. Trish Stratus (c) – WWE Women’s Championship

Probably one of the most memorable women’s matches during its time. This Mickie James gimmick is also (outside of Hardcore Country in TNA) is what she is most remembered for. The deranged, obsessive, psycho side of Mickie is what so many that have come after her have been inspired by. And the build up is exactly what you need for a match of this caliber.

The ending…the crotch grab..the gesture…Mickie winning. Priceless.

7. WrestleMania 40

Rhea Ripley (c) def. Becky Lynch – Women’s World Championship

Mad respect for both of these women for this match. I feel like it is going to go underrated. Rhea headed into this match with a nagging wrist injury and Becky was sick heading into this with a prior fever…and they both laid out everything they had. The no quit in Becky during this match was so fun to watch. It definitely picked up about midway through the match and you can tell both women were running on pure adrenaline by the end. Finisher after finisher and each one just kept kicking out getting the crowd fully behind them and was a great first match of the WrestleMania weekend.

The final sequence was so well done. Becky had the DisArmHer locked in while Rhea lifted her up on her shoulders. They flipped to the outside over the ropes as Rhea gave her challenger the electric chair on the outside! Rhea followed up with a frog splash and Becky STILL kicked out! Finally, Becky went for a ManHandle Slam from the ropes but Rhea countered and delivered not one, but two Riptides to secure the championship. Great ending.

Boston’s CEO Takes Down The Fallen Goddess To Advance In Owen Hart Cup

AEW Dynamite’s Spring BreakThru is in Boston, Massachusetts and a dream match for many is set to take place tonight.

To open the show is a semi-final in the Owen Hart Cup Tournament as “The CEO” Mercedes Moné takes on the forever ROH Women’s World Champion Athena. Moné aims to collect all the belts she can in this hunt and has the hometown advantage tonight.

The Boston crowd erupts at the opening bell, as the two take it all in. They begin to lock up but end up towards the stage.

The CEO and The Fallen Goddess are quick at each other, but Moné looks to take charge and locks in a Statement Maker as Athena finds a way to escape. Athena gets stuck on the ropes, but Moné miscalculates as she gets hit with a Stunner for her own good.

The Fallen Goddess hits a wicked dive to the outside, as Moné tries to slug it out with her. Moné powers out of a piledriver and drives her knees into Athena only for a two-count. Giving it all she’s got, The CEO hits a wild DDT to send Athena dazed.

As Moné pops Three Amigos, Athena tries to triple powerbomb her back. The CEO attempts to powerbomb her back to the outside, but Athena gets the high ground and sends Moné crashing on the apron.

The two spill to the outside and climb on the barricade in front of the Boston crowd. Athena looks to go high risk, but as Moné gets out of dodge Athena dropkicks her hard into the barricade.

Athena props up for The O Face, but Moné catches her and rolls her up to advance in the tournament.

Post-match, the AEW Women’s World Champion, “Timeless” Toni Storm arrives to see her potential challenger.

What did you think of tonight’s AEW Dynamite? Did the right woman walk out victorious? Did the match live up to expectations? Let us know below!

Diva Dirt’s Top 30 Women Wrestlers Under 30, No. 15: Momo Watanabe

Diva Dirt has kicked off our Top 30 Women Wrestlers Under 30 as of April 1. Below you will find links to the list so far as well as the newest name on the list. 

15. Momo Watanabe 25yo STARDOM

Momo Watanabe made her debut for STARDOM at the age of 14 in late 2014. She is yet another young talent in STARDOM who has made a name for herself and just recently branched out to the United States.

Watanabe has belonged to three different stables since being with STARDOM. First was with Queen’s Quest as a former leader, Oedo Tai, and currently with H.A.T.E. She is a 2018 Cinderella Tournament winner and has a decorated career thus far being three-time Artist of Stardom Champion, a three-time Goddess of Stardom Champion, and holding the white belt – Wonder of Stardom Championship one time. She defeated Io Shirai in 2018 for this title.

Watanabe has been searching for gold outside of STARDOM recently. She challenged Mercedes Mone on two separate occasions, once for the NJPW STRONG Women’s Title last August and once for the AEW TBS Championship in March. She has come up short for both. She earned the TBS Title match after winning the co-promotion International Women’s Cup.

Momo is another talent who could spread her wings anywhere she would want to go if she chose to wrestle outside of Japan.

Now onto 10 & 9

NOTE: It is getting extremely hard to pick the rest of this list and rank them as there are really no “bad matches” left.

10. WrestleMania 35

Winner Takes All: Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Ronda Rousey (c) – Raw Women’s Championship and SmackDown Women’s Championship

I have a lot to say about this match. It wasn’t bad by any means, and yes the end was botched. It is memorable, maybe for some bad reasons but also it being the first time women main evented WrestleMania. The thing is, the build to this really shot everyone in the foot here. It was very convoluted to get to what we got.

Asuka had to drop the SmackDown Women’s Title to Charlotte. Becky, who won the Royal Rumble, was at some point no longer in the Mania match somehow. Then she was put back in and won it…the whole thing was what?

And when it comes down to it, many think/feel the only reason why the women main evented was because of Rousey. Because of her appeal and star power. This is no shade to Rousey at all, but she was not needed to main event a WrestleMania. You had Charlotte and Becky, and Asuka, and all of these other big names who could have simply done it without her. It is just weird how much weight they put on the idea of Rousey having to be around for big moments over the wrestlers that had been there for years.

Charlotte arriving in a helicopter though, I mean come on…that was an entrance.

9. WrestleMania 38

Sasha Banks & Naomi defeated Carmella & Queen Zelina (c), Liv Morgan & Rhea Ripley, and Natalya & Shayna Baszler – WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships

Just a fun match that had to crowd eating it up!!! Liv and Rhea did so good here and I was slightly surprised they never won gold as a tag team. The ending of Sasha getting the pin still gives me chills just watching it back. What a fun moment.

Lola Vice Qualifies, Thea Hail Returns, and Stage Is Set For NXT Women’s Title Match At Stand & Deliver

0

The road to Stand & Deliver just hit its final turn. From ladder match qualifiers to last minute vignettes, NXT made its final moments count—let’s get into it.

Jordynne Grace’s voice hits before we even see her—low, confident, grounded. It’s a highlight reel of her entire journey. She says she had a “negative aura” when she first started and was trying to find her place in a world that didn’t fit her. But then she found strength—literally. She became obsessed with building her body like an A-bomb and refused to be overlooked. The goal? Make the WWE Universe say, “WWE women are killing it, but have you seen Jordynne Grace in TNA?” She forced her way into the conversation and now she’s staring down her biggest opportunity yet at Stand & Deliver. No fluff, no doubts—just Jordynne knowing exactly what she has to do.

Meanwhile, Sol Ruca and Zaria were hyped about the Women’s North American Title match—until Kelani Jordan cut in to remind everyone she’s got that “nobody does it like Lani” energy. Izzi Dame wasn’t impressed. She misses the old Kelani, and in classic Culling fashion, made it clear she’s not interested in nostalgia—just more gold.

That brings us to our final NA ladder match qualifier of the night: 

Tatum Paxley vs. Lola Vice

They locked up and rolled through reversals early, Tatum pulling out slick pins and Lola snatching a crossface out of nowhere. They kept countering holds until Lola caught a shot to the gut, hit a takedown, and started planting Paxley with confidence. 

The match really turned when Tatum crawled under the ring (because of course she did), lured Lola in, and slammed her shoulder-first into the steel frame. Gigi Dolin got involved, barking at Lola, and chaos simmered as we cut to break.

Back from commercial, Tatum went on a roll—corner splashes, a neckbreaker, and a sunset flip for two. But Lola fired back with kicks to the spine, a hip attack, and dragged Paxley out of the corner for a nearfall. 

Tatum climbed up for a superplex that landed flush, but Lola stayed alive. Tatum tried to springboard in, and that’s when Lola cracked her with a spinning backfist that sent shockwaves. Game over. Lola Vice is going to Stand & Deliver.

Winner: Lola Vice

Giulia, watching from the shadows as always, got the spotlight next. She recalled seeing Stephanie Vaquer with double gold and never getting her rematch. No matter—Giulia says friendship ends where the Women’s Title begins. She reminded Vaquer what Beautiful Madness is last week, and she plans on making Jordynne feel Strong Style up close. Jaida’s strong, Jordynne’s obsessed, but Giulia? She’s more dangerous now than she’s ever been. Last year she made her debut at Stand & Deliver. This year, she’s leaving with the title.

Backstage, chaos continued. Gigi and Tatum—fresh off their match—wanted another opportunity. Ava granted it: a triple threat women’s tag next week, with the winners earning a Tag Title shot. Roxanne barged in, furious she wasn’t booked, and Ava threw shade about her loss on SmackDown. Roxanne, in desperation mode, said she’d enter the match solo. Ava wasn’t having it. But then Cora Jade returned and offered a lifeline: does the match matter enough for Roxanne to say she’s sorry?

Then came Jaida Parker’s vignette—and it was a mic drop. She talked about assumptions people make about her, how she came up in Port St. Lucie making a name for herself, and how the locker room never wanted her to succeed. Her uncle, her rock, passed away—and since then, she’s trusted no one. Life made her hard. She doesn’t need friends. She needs defining moments. And Stand & Deliver? That’s her moment.

Over in Chile, Stephanie Vaquer spoke about how proud she is to represent her country on the biggest stage of her NXT career. She shared that her dad never got to see her wrestle, so she brought home replica titles just for him. It was a rare soft moment from someone who’s usually sharp steel—but make no mistake, she’s entering Stand & Deliver with fire in her chest and national pride in her fists.

Thea Hail returned backstage and reminded Andre Chase that she’s not mad. He didn’t ruin her life. She’s no longer part of Chase U, but she’s not done. And she proved it immediately by qualifying for the NA ladder match.

Thea Hail vs. Karmen Petrovic

Karmen Petrovic tried to shut her down early, landing some stiff shots and a big spinning lariat. But Thea caught a kick, headbutted her way out, and went wild with clotheslines, a neckbreaker, and a press slam. The crowd was with her. The Coffin Drop hit, but she wasn’t done. She locked in a tight double underhook into a Kimura Lock—and Karmen tapped.

Winner: Thea Hail

Thea’s back. And Stand & Deliver just got even more unpredictable. Sound off in the comments below with your thoughts on the go home show!

Diva Dirt’s Top 30 Women Wrestlers Under 30, No. 16: Jacy Jayne

0

Diva Dirt has kicked off our Top 30 Women Wrestlers Under 30 as of April 1. Below you will find links to the list so far as well as the newest name on the list. 

16. Jacy Jayne 28yo NXT

Jacy Jayne ranks on this list just a few spots up from her former Toxic Attraction teammate, Gigi Dolin. Much like Dolin, Jayne started her career on the indies. She wrestled under the name Avery Taylor at the age of 20. She wrestled for popular promotions such as Shine, wXw, and Evolve.

By 2020, Jayne was signed with WWE for its NXT brand. She quickly was put into a tag team with Dolin and they were scouted by Mandy Rose who became the third member and leader of Toxic Attraction. Jayne would go on to win the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships on two different occasions with Dolin. Jayne had a short singles stint when Toxic Attraction broke up which mainly consisted of feuding with Dolin. This is where Jayne and Dolin’s career have taken a slightly different route.

Jayne has been part of Chase U and currently Fatal Influence with Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley. She’s even tangoed with the current TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich!

A main roster call up seems to be a necessity at this point for Jayne who has now been in NXT for five years. The question is though, will she move up with or without Fatal Influence?

Fatal Four-way Tag Team Elimination Match Added To Stand & Deliver

A Fatal-four way match has been added to the pre-show for NXT Stand & Deliver which takes place this Saturday ahead of WrestleMania 41 Night 1. It will be a tag team elimination match with the winners becoming the number one contenders for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles.

The participants will be Tatum Paxley & Gigi Dolin, Meta-Girls, Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne & Fallon Henley), and Roxanne Perez & Cora JadeThe winners will take on the tag team champions on April 22. But who will be the tag tram champions come April 22?

At WrestleMania, the tag team titles will be on the line as the champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defend against Bayley and the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, Lyra Valkyria. This match takes place on Night 2, April 20.

Knockouts Tag Team Match Added To April 17 TNA iMPACT!

A third Knockouts match has been added to this Thursday’s TNA episode.

Previously, it was reported that Xia Brookside will be taking on NXT’s Jazmyn Nyx while we have NXT’s Jakara Jackson having a match with Dani Luna. Now, the newest Knockout Maggie Lee will team up with one-half of the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, Heather by Elegance, to face NXT’s Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin.

These matches will start at the normal 8 PM ET start time and be considered the Countdown to Unbreakable. Unbreakable will have a mixed-tag match between the TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich and the TNA World Champion Joe Hendry taking on Tessa Blanchard and Frankie Kazarian. Slamovich will defend her title against Blanchard later this month at Rebellion.
