TNA Under Siege notes: Spitfire disbands, Cody Deaner, Raj Singh

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Here are some notes coming out of Friday’s TNA Under Siege.

Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) failed to win the Knockouts Tag Team titles from Ash & Heather by Elegance on Friday after Ash defeated Threat with the rarified air (swanton) after sending Luna through a table. Per the stipulations of the title match, Spitfire must now split up as a team.

Cody Deaner failed to win a TNA contract, losing to Eddie Edwards in a match where if he won, he would officially join the TNA roster. Alisha Edwards was the deciding factor, low blowing Deaner and giving Eddie Edwards the opportunity to strike with the Boston knee party for the win.

After the match, the rest of The System came out to mock Deaner for his loss and also insulted Canada. That brought out The Northern Armory to issue a challenge leading Eric Young, Judas Icarus, and Travis Williams to defeat Moose, Brian Myers, and JDC.

Raj Singh ended up replacing Ace Austin in a six-man tag team match pitting Order 4 (Mustafa Ali, Tasha Steelz, John Skyler, and Jason Hotch) against Indi Hartwell, The Rascalz, and Singh, who came out and cut a promo saying Ali was a narcissist with a God complex and everything he’s said is nothing more than him “being full of s***.” Ali ended up getting the win, hitting the 450 splash on the former Campaign Singh.

During an injury report update, TNA said that as a result of Mustafa Ali injuring Austin’s knee on Impact, he would be out of action “indefinitely.” It was reported on Thursday that Austin was leaving TNA due to his contract expiring.

The TNA Knockouts Tag Team titles will be on the line at this month’s Slammiversary.

Announced on Tuesday, current titleholders Masha Slamovich & Alisha Edwards of The System will put the belts up against former champions Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) on the Saturday, July 20th pay-per-view from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Slamovich & Edwards, also known as The Malisha, defeated Spitfire for the titles back at May’s Under Siege and have defended the titles just once, upending The Hex on the Against All Odds pre-show in June. Spitfire also has a win over The Hex, also coming in June.

Musician and wrestling fan Lars Frederiksen of Rancid has been training Spitfire in recent weeks and having them compete in separate 10-minute challenge matches to show they are ready for the rematch.

Here’s the current card:

  • TNA World Champion Moose defends against Nic Nemeth, Josh Alexander, Steve Maclin, Frankie Kazarian & Joe Hendry
  • TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace defends against Ash by Elegance
  • AJ Francis vs. PCO
  • TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions Masha Slamovich & Alisha Edwards defend Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat)

TNA Sacrifice results & notes: New champions, technical issues

Posted on by Josh Nason

Both sets of Tag Team titles changed hands as part of Friday’s TNA Sacrifice — a show that had some streaming viewers frustrated by early technical issues.

The System’s Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers defeated ABC (Chris Bey & Ace Austin) to take home the men’s Tag Team titles following the heels hitting Austin with a Roster Cut/Boston Knee Party combo to pick up the win.

It’s the sixth-such title reign for Edwards and the second for Myers. The victory ends the 139-day second title run for Bey and Austin.

Later on the show, the Knockouts Tag Team titles found a new home with a relatively new team as Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) defeated MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly).

After Kelly was rolled up by Threat for the surprise win, Slamovich shoved Kelly in frustration after the match.

It’s the first TNA title run for either Luna or Threat while the win ends the short second reign of MK Ultra that began just two weeks ago with their win over Decay (Havok & Rosemary).
