so this is a special circumstance as you can see on your screen there are three referees and there are eight wrestlers in each corner now at any given time there are only two wrestlers committed standing on the apron in the corner of your respective team at a time there were three referees because of all the uh combustible elements a lot of parties the ringside so that’s just to make sure that there’s no uh infractions on the outside of the ring so there’s some strategy that has to go into this with each team and on top of having to strategize together you also have to work together and coexist together and already we are starting to see some things maybe uh break down a little bit here and uh good luck to the referees no kiddy good thing we have more than one all 16 combatants are in the ring the Champions too Toe with the allstars are officials trying to restore some more order here in the early stages of this match oh man Mt Hardy heading up goes right after moose and the battle is on the Champions challenge match is just getting started on impact we are back here on TNA Impact this is our main event the Champions challenge a 16 person tag team match of all the active champions in TNA against a slew of All Stars never before has every active champion in TNA teamed up in the same matchup this is the largest Tag Team Matchup in the history of TNA that’s over 22 [Music] years and as you can see watching here in Alban New York AJ Francis and Rick swan first class watching up from their private box here trying to scope out some of the champions in action decide where they want to put their efforts in attaining some Championship gold for first class right now you have The Knockouts world champion Jordan Grace against a former knockout SCH tag team champion and Danny Luna of Spitfire these two familiar with each other from Singles competition last year no doubt Lars Frederickson paying very close attention to how Spitfire rebounds from under SI here’s a cover by grace and a kick out obviously if you’re the champions in this one you got to feel pretty confident there’s a reason you are all wearing gold you’re the best of the best but there is one hell of a team on the other side of the Ring oh roll up here from Jordan Grace said enough o Lun Luna trying to catch Grace in a kick out Danny Luna here very crafty with these covers but Grace strikes back as I mentioned before the break only two competitors per team are allowed up on the apron and in your team’s respective corner at a time just because of the sheer volume of bodies involved you would be able to touch the ropes you didn’t get anything done exactly you have to be holding on to the tag rope with both feet on the apron to make a legal tag so there’s some strategy that’s going into this obviously with both teams and let’s be honest there’s some members on each of these teams that don’t necessarily like each other yeah there’s no doubt about it of course we know everything with we mentioned with Matt Hardy Ryan neemo and the system of course Spitfire and slamovich Anda Edwards too Luna Luna the cover on the digital media Champion kick out by Laredo kit and then yeah throw all that into a blender and now each side has to kind of decide who needs to be on deck which two members of their eight person team is going to be there ready to tag in oh and seander tags herself in the hard way for the allstar team none none too pleased that sdl inserted herself into the equation like that obviously women can face men men versus men women versus women this is TNA Wrestling ladies and gentlemen and that is Masha slamic one half of The Knockouts World Tag Team Champions this a match full of opportunity badasses and we got two of them face to face in the ring right now but oh the to Lander not so bold without KH more than happy to tag out to jod Fred who would love to get her hands on Masha slamovich again and history between threat and slamovich who was Spitfire who took the titles originally from MK Ultra back at sacrifice looked like for a moment there Jody Dre yeah wants to get her hands on Alicia come on now absolutely Alicia Edwards and MAA slamovich who took the titles from Spitfire two weeks ago at Under Siege I get she’s angry about that but hot damn you got to obey the rules of this already tense matchup well there’s a reason she’s called The Wild Child and can you blame her for the way Alicia Edwards was crowing last week about the title win there’s the cover and a kick out you mean celebrating cro God forbid celebrating her first championship in the illustrious history of Alicia Edwards here in TNA gloating as well forgot to mention gloating undeniable that’s what Elicia back elbow three referees assigned to this match up one in the ring one in each quarter I hope that will be enough the TR well as we saw before the break uh it nearly didn’t but we’ve regained some order right now the Wild Child though letting loose on slamovich here breaks before the referees count of five oh a launching slamovich cover to win this for the allstar team and a kick out think about what could be gained for either side and the individuals involved you never know how Santino Morel is going to gaug a match or an outcome I never know what Santino Mel is gonna anything and anything the way this guy makes these matches these decisions let’s just say they’re uh they’re unique oh into the top turn buckle now it’s Alicia Edwards legal one half of The Knockouts World Tag Team Champions representing the system now Edwards targeting threat oh the cross body Alicia Edwards showing exactly why she is a tag team champion cover look to the leg oh and threat able to pop out there at one as Sammy Callahan is riling up the fence here in Albany New York always been good at that no look out threat on the Run oh double knees and then the release German suplex threat bounces into the cover Alisha able to get the Shoulder up in time meanwhile you can see the little things happening happening in the background here ran neith and Danny Luna up on the corner just pointing out Samy Callahan is is very much on edge here in this tense situation last time we saw Callahan in a match where was one versus two and he won beat the good hands by himself now look at this inside the ring stalling suplex here oh and launching Alicia Edwards into the Champions quarter and a tag made slamovich is legal and as I was saying that the strategy starting to form at different times now in the champion Corner moose is up on the apron available for a tag in the allstar Corner Ryan neit and Danny Luna kick out are waiting in the wings you can see how Jordan Grace conversing with moose I I’m not entirely sure how chummy that relationship potentially could be it has to be at least for the night for the sake of this match of Danny Luna and to sa her tag team partner now SP fire working well together trying to overcome some adversity oh and there are the Tag Team Champions Edwards and Meyers ladies and gentlemen we’re about to take our last commercial break for the evening when we return the Champions challenge will be presented commercial free until its conclusion this match rolls on oh we are back in our main event which is presented commercial free until its conclusion this is the Champions challenge match the largest tag te match in TNA history a 16 person B all the active champions in TNA against oh a team of all stars in The X Division champion Musta Ali Miss in comes Ryan neemo the brother of Nick neemo Ryan neemo who’s stuck his nose into the systems business as of late now looking to make a name for himself here possibly and Ryan nth who saw from a front row seat in Las Vegas that the system destroyed his brother and the lead up to Under Siege and following Rebellion the Heartbreak that Nick neth experienced at Rebellion coming up short in the TNA World title match against moose where it looked like oh Nick nth shoulder was off the mat Ryan nth canting the aid of Matt Hardy last week to spoil the systems Championship celebration and look he came he came in as you’ve said as a guest now but just finding himself inserting his way in to the ring here in TNA getting a chance b and a management to fight and fight on behalf of his brother look look I go way back with Ryan neemo I I’ve trained with Ryan neemo I know how capable he is DDT on the reigning X Division champion it’s broken up by Eddie Edwards but he better be careful about fighting off more than he can chew with the system here neith wants a piece of the system was distracted there the system got his attention and Ali hit the neck breaker well timed out there by the exhivision champion and now the TNA World Champion might be sending a message home to Nick Nemo not Mike definitely is oh it takes a shot at broken Matt Hardy and the de machine Sammy Callahan oh you better believe moose wants to dismantle Ryan neth the way he did his brother Nick tag made Eddie Edwards is legal moose uh in the face of Ali there and Ali wanted to tag moose not giving it to him saying this is system business essentially oh Eddie Edwards who got the victory against Nick nth on that first episode of impact following rebellion and it was moments after that a chair was wrapped around the throat of neth and smashed with another chair by Moose the system swarm cover and a kick out by Ryan nth system attempted to deliver that same fate to Broken Matt Hardy that’s where Ryan neth came into the equation and now for his trouble he’s found himself in the poor poor Graces of the system back right there moose moose here taking his time with the wanted man’s younger brother at broken Matt Hardy chomping at moose his eyes set on the championship of the world here in TNA back elbow not even letting Ryan emit get off the blocks here on a tag and Ali’s been denied a few tags here by the system again just trying to solidify that this right now again especially especially with Mr hunk himself Ryan nemit this is system business now this is about sending a message the system they trust each other I don’t know if they trust in Ali exactly look I trust in Ali the world trusts in Ali but the system got to look out for each other I get it oh Sunset flip here the Hollywood hunk going for the cover here Myers’s able to make a tag at Edwards is legal on a knee right to the [Applause] [Music] spine Ali valiantly wanting to get into this matchup wants the tag Allie’s demanding a tag Edwards refus and in comes most and now this is just a bit of unnecessary disrespect to the exhivision champ whoa Al’s bailing out I am officially withdrawing from this competition you hear me I am withdrawing from this competition my name will not be Associated why you you heard it he made it very clear officially officially Mustafa Ali has withdrawn from this race if you will now meanwhile trying to focus back on the action here we’re all distracted by Mustafa Ali Alicia Edwards assaulting Ryan neth there and now it’s Meyers who’s legal against Neo whatever happens here is not on the conscious on the record of Mustafa Ali anything on his conscience yes I mean bettering competition bettering the exhivision but that’s a conversation for another day CU right now the system continues to lay out Ryan nem C shoulders down kick out by nth so now the Champions team is down aass so it was a 16% taxing match now it’s eight on seven and we talked about some of the strategy earlier on in this match of only two competitors per team are allowed on the apron you have to be holding the tag rope with both feet on the apron to make a legal tag so the strategy involved in this match up now inevitably has to change for the Champions I mean look if I’m the system I’m leaning on the system I’m leaning on my brethren I’m leaning on the people I know I can Myers caught the danger zone take another look here as Ryan neemon seemingly out of nowhere hits the danger zone sending a little message of his own back to the systems Corner move out of desperation there by Ryan tags broken Matt Hardy to meet the TNA World Champion the face of the franchise moose and this is what Matt Hardy has won it since coming back to TNA War take it to the champ his goal the TNA World title uh-oh hi toss there by hardy hardy acknowledging that the system won the battle at under sieg but he’s focused on a war off the side effect kick out by Moose Hardy coming in this must be like a Hardy House of fire smashing that thick skull of Moses into the [Applause] turnbuckles broken Matt Hardy intent on deleting the system oh go for the twist F twist of fate oh alitia Edwards all over Hardy ride or die indeed in every sense of the word I hope Queen Rebecca was watching oh back elbow there to Eddie Edwards oh down goes Edwards and now Matt Hardy makes the tag in comes Callahan the Callahan death machine what a history between these two and that shot to the orbital bone certainly woke up Eddie Edwards the death machine rides again here in TNA oh Al Han wants to put this one away for his team a one of the cactus driver 97 a tag made by Brian Meyers take them trying to set up there for a double team perhaps oh set it two for one for the death machine alahan takes down both members of the TNA Tag Team Champions and now a tag made it comes Joe Henry for the allstar team I guess hry Mania is running wild and a Fall Away slam to [Applause] Meyers listen to The Believers here tonight at T impact and another one to Eddie Edwards [Applause] here oh now Myers uhoh cover a Power Bomb cover oh and it’s broken up on basically the entire Champions team and here we go we knew I remember the Champions are down a man must Ali took a walk it’s eight versus seven but frankly it’s bedlock yeah whatever it is it’s absolute chaos we had three referees for this thing and it’s still pure chaos in the champions challenge there goes Edwards to the outside Callahan’s not done oh boot to the face [Music] oh oh remember it was Callahan who came to Jordan Grace’s Aid at Rebellion but bet are off here in the main event and now Eric Young levels up WS got it offense are off Champions versus All Stars oh now look at this the digital media Champion Leno K wiping out plenty of bodies and now look at the Wild Child always ready for a hell of a stage day oh that’ll make Loris Frederickson proud We have got to take a look back at this all of this action to the outside here in this Champions challenge unbelievable chaos tonight in our main event bodies flying everywhere resulting in bodies strewn everywhere around the arena [Applause] great respect show of the fans here tonight in ALB New York and now it’s down to Henry and Meyers oh now Edwards wait a second on the tag Champs oh trying to prevent Henry’s momentum uh-oh oh sent into the ropes by Edward spare by Meyers that’s it that’s it cover Joe Henry is still alive what and there’s first class watching from their private box here this evening in Al New York with Swan and AJ Francis their eyes are on any Championship gold here in CNA and obviously they are no fans of Joe Hendry hold up oh Eric Young took Eddie Edwards out of the equation Standing Ovation so Henry wins it for the all stars here are your winners broken Matt Hardy Ryan n Samy
