00:00Deaner stayed out of Jake's way three weeks ago as Jake Something defeated Khan.
00:07Now Jake Something has a huge opportunity next week.
00:10It's Joe Hendry versus Jake Something who will qualify for the TNA World title match at Slammiversary.
00:17People of Chicago!
00:20I just talked to Santino and he said he is very excited that me and my cousin Jake are back in the tag team division.
00:32So much so that he said if I want, if we win this match tonight, that puts us in line for a tag team title shot.
00:45But I had to tell Santino that it's not about what I want. It's not my choice. It's not Jake's choice.
00:56It's the people's choice.
01:00Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:05I don't know why you'd want to listen to these people anyway, because we all know that Chicago sucks!
01:14And if I may add, why would you deserve a number one contendership?
01:23The last time you guys faced RSCL, you lost.
01:27And if the last time I checked was correct, didn't you guys have to have a singles match against each other just so you could get on the same page and be a tag team again?
01:35That ain't ever been us. So I think that the people have another choice.
01:40And that is watch the both of you forfeit right now. We get a ref to raise our hands, RSCL up in this piece. What y'all think about that?
01:47No champ!
01:51There's another choice that the two of you didn't mention.
01:57First of all, you shut up.
02:03And then I think ABC will go ahead and choose to start this match right now.
02:10Oh, and look out! Chris Bay over the top!
02:16This triple threat tag team match is about to officially get underway here on Impact Picture in Picture.
02:27And it is absolute bedlam here. Triple threat tag team matchup has just started in chaos.
02:36And referee Daniel Spencer, I think he's having flashbacks to the countdown to Against All Odds where he couldn't get Callaghan and Gretchen in the damn ring to start the match.
02:45Oh, there's the bell. Nice job, Spencer.
02:49So here we go. This triple threat tag team matchup is underway. The Rascals up against the ABC and the team of Jake Something and Cody Diener.
03:00Cody Diener, who every time we see this idiot, seems to have tattled off to Santino every time.
03:08I talk to Santino. I talk to Santino. It's like it's his dad or something like that.
03:15Stop listening to Santino Marella. Stop listening to the stupid people and make a decision for himself for once in his damn life.
03:22Oh, and a big right hand as Zachary Wentz.
03:25In this triple threat tag team match, only two teams are legal at a time, but you can tag in any competitor on the apron that is legal.
03:33Sometimes, as you well know, in a match like this, you have to make some desperate decisions and tag in even an opponent.
03:40That's on top of just having to watch your back to what corner you're in.
03:44Because you may never know. You may get a blind tag that you were not expecting from another team.
03:48And all of a sudden your team is out of the out of the equation.
03:52A tag made Cody Diener and Jake Something.
03:54I do think Cody Diener wanting an immediate number one contendership after potentially winning this matchup is maybe a little premature.
04:03He and Jake have not exactly been completely on the same page and limited opportunities recently.
04:09Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
04:12Wentz, Wentz went to the throat and Miguel is distracting the official.
04:17Stop, stop. You're worried about what Zachary Wentz is doing.
04:20What's happening with training? Oh, thank goodness.
04:22Oh, he's fine.
04:24Thank God. It was touch and go there for a second.
04:27Oh, yes.
04:29Do not underestimate the danger of a loose kickback.
04:32The earth stood still and a kick out there by Cody Diener.
04:35My heart did. That's for Daniel.
04:37That is what the rascals are willing to do to win a match, gain an advantage, whatever you want to call it.
04:42I'll bend the rules.
04:44Wasn't it in this building, Raywald, in October last year, bound for glory, that the rascals lost the tag team titles to the ABC, as a matter of fact?
04:52Check that's time number 52.
04:54You've mentioned that this week.
04:56Cover and a kick out.
04:57Well, we are in Chicago.
04:59Yeah, of course.
05:00You got to remind it.
05:01The question is here.
05:02I mean, Diener went out for himself and his cousin to be a number one contender.
05:07Can anybody, whoever wins this, be the number one contender?
05:10How about that?
05:11That's a fair choice that people might like.
05:14The only team that actually has a contractual rematch for the tag team titles are the ABC.
05:20They're putting the pressure on themselves to win this and get themselves back into the position of challenge for the tag team titles currently held by the system.
05:30Tag made.
05:32And we are back here on TNA Impact.
05:34This is a triple threat tag team matchup.
05:36The rascals up against the ABC and the team of Jake Something and Cody Diener.
05:41Only two teams can be represented legal in the matchup at a time.
05:46However, you can tag in any competitor to join into the matchup.
05:50Certain instances where you do need to tag in an opponent to save yourself.
05:55I'd like to avoid that at all costs.
05:57You want to be the one in the ring.
05:59Obviously, when that decision goes down, you want to have any agency you can and how it all happens.
06:06Whoa.
06:07Uh-oh.
06:08Inverted atomic drop.
06:10Look at this.
06:11Look at this.
06:12Chase, the Motor City Machine.
06:13Young Saban and Shelly there by the rascals.
06:16A nice job by our official Daniel Spencer directing traffic.
06:19Wentz is legal and a kick out by Diener.
06:22As I mentioned moments ago, it's Joe Hendry versus Jake Something next week here on Impact in a Road to Slammiversary qualifying matchup.
06:29Hendry's got tons of momentum.
06:31His surprise appearance on NXT recently is WWE's most viewed clip on X in 2024.
06:3818 million views and counting.
06:41It's Diener now.
06:42Oh, what'd I tell you?
06:44Backed into the ABC corner and in comes Ace Austin able to make a tag.
06:49Even an inadvertent one like that.
06:51Diener didn't see that tag coming, but the ABC get themselves involved in the frame.
06:57The ABC requested to be put into a match type like this so that they could test whether or not they were ready to enact their contractual rematch for the TNA World Tag Team title.
07:07They lost the championship to Myers and Edwards back at Sacrifice.
07:12Click, click, boom, there by Austin.
07:15And I'll tell you, getting a big win at Against All Odds against Eric Young and Josh Alexander, two former world champions.
07:22That was a great start.
07:24But right now we're going up against former tag team champions and the rascals as well here in this triple threat tag team matchup.
07:31Chris Bay, he was thinking about a cutter perhaps.
07:34Oh, super kick there by Miguel, knee by Wentz.
07:37Back to back by the rascals.
07:39Look at this teamwork here.
07:43Reminiscent of Bound for Glory last year.
07:46What a battle these two teams had for the tag team titles.
07:49Right here in this very building.
07:52Look at the fluidity here from the rascals.
07:56Setting them up.
07:57Oh, trying to feed them to the lions.
07:59There's the cover, shoulders down on it.
08:01It's broken up by Bay.
08:04Still so much more action to come tonight.
08:06Kushida, the time splitter, returns to action.
08:09Also, more Road to Slammiversary qualifying matches.
08:13Steve Macklin goes one-on-one with Sammy Callahan.
08:16And in our main event, Nick Nemeth goes one-on-one with Rich Swann.
08:20Those two matches will determine who will go on to challenge for the TNA world title at Slammiversary.
08:27Oh!
08:29And that, are you kidding me?
08:31And that, are you kidding me?
08:33That counted as a tag.
08:34Isn't this wild?
08:36Back and forth triple threat tag team matchup.
08:39It's a crazy environment.
08:41Oh, wait a minute.
08:42Jake something just mowed down the rascals.
08:46He's not stopping.
08:53Like a runaway CTA train.
08:58You ride the pink line, don't you?
09:00Hell yeah, I do.
09:02Look out!
09:03A sit-out powerbomb by Jake something on a kickout by Austin.
09:09Take another look at this, Tom.
09:11The way Ace Austin bounces off this powerbomb from Jake something.
09:17And now a tag made.
09:18In comes Cody Diener.
09:20Great opportunity two-on-one here.
09:24What a win this would be.
09:26Trying to set up for a double team here.
09:28Oh, double superkick by the rascals.
09:33Oh!
09:34Right to the back of the head.
09:37Miguel and Wentz rocking and rolling.
09:39And Jake something is still standing, however.
09:42He absorbed it.
09:43And now Trey Miguel looking to go to the air.
09:46Great counter.
09:48Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
09:49Oh, dear God.
09:50Jake something's got hold of Miguel.
09:54Well, now Wentz trying to save his rascal brother.
09:57Again, something counters.
10:01Oh, he launched Miguel at Wentz.
10:06D-I-N-A! D-I-N-A! D-I-N-A! D-I-N-A!
10:10Jake something throwing people like medicine balls here.
10:14What the hell?
10:15Jake something has control of Ace Austin
10:19and dumped him onto the rascals.
10:22An absolute animal is Jake something.
10:27D-I-N-A! D-I-N-A! D-I-N-A! D-I-N-A!
10:31Jake something wrecking house tonight in Chicago.
10:34Feeds Austin to Cody Diener.
10:36And now it's Chris Bay from the ropes.
10:38Oh, trying to slow down Jake something.
10:41Now, Ace and Bay here looking to take care of business.
10:46Oh, the setup for the art of finesse.
10:48That was it.
10:50Oh, forearm shiver.
10:52Jake something's out of the equation.
10:54Here you go. Here's the one.
10:56Here's the finesse.
10:57There's the two.
10:58The fold.
10:59There it is.
11:01The ABC win.
11:05Here are your winners, the ABC.
11:10Another incredibly impressive win for the ABC.
11:15Let's take a look back at this matchup.
11:17Jake something was wrecking house.
11:19And he's going to need that next week
11:21as he goes one-on-one with Joe Henry
11:23in a Road to Slammiversary qualifying matchup.
11:26Now, the ABC wisely tried to neutralize the threat of Jake something,
11:30then connected with the one-two sweep on Diener to score the win.
11:36If you ask me, the ABC are more than ready for a tag team title matchup.
11:53It is my destiny. It is the truth.
