Jordynne Grace issuing another open challenge for TNA Knockouts title

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Jordynne Grace is issuing another open challenge for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.

At TNA Against All Odds earlier this month, Grace retained her title against NXT wrestler Tatum Paxley. It’s now been announced that Grace will hold another open challenge at TNA Wrestling’s television taping in Philadelphia this Friday.

“Send me someone better than me,” she tweeted about the open challenge.

It remains to be seen whether the challenge will be answered by a member of the TNA roster or someone from outside the company.

Grace has held the Knockouts title since January. It’s her third reign with the championship.

Grace has played a key role in the growing relationship that exists between WWE and TNA. She appeared in the women’s Royal Rumble match this January and later had two matches for NXT, including losing to NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez at Battleground. TNA wrestlers Joe Hendry and Frankie Kazarian have appeared for NXT as well, competing in a battle royal on the June 18 episode of the show.

TNA is holding tapings at Philly’s 2300 Arena this Friday and Saturday. Here’s what’s been announced:

Night one (Friday, June 28) —

  • Jordynne Grace open challenge for the TNA Knockouts World Championship
  • Matt & Rebecca Hardy vs. Eddie & Alisha Edwards

Night two (Saturday, June 29) —

  • Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers vs. Matt & Jeff Hardy

Title change takes place at TNA Wrestling TV taping

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A title change took place at TNA Wrestling’s television tapings in Newport, Kentucky over the weekend.

AJ Francis (former WWE wrestler Top Dolla) defeated Laredo Kid on Sunday to win the TNA Digital Media Championship. Outside of the indies, this is the first championship that Francis has held in his career.

Francis made his TNA Wrestling debut at Hard to Kill this January. After playing in the NFL, he had two separate stints with WWE from 2020-2021 and 2022-2023. That second stint came to an end when Francis was released in September 2023.

In TNA, Francis is part of a heel tag team with Rich Swann. First Class is the name of their duo.

Francis has also competed for MLW and the NWA following the end of his WWE run.

The Digital Media Championship was first introduced in 2021. Since then, Jordynne Grace, Matt Cardona, Swann, Brian Myers, Joe Hendry, Kenny King, Tommy Dreamer, Crazzy Steve, Laredo Kid, and Francis have held the title.

Laredo Kid’s reign only lasted for a month after winning the title from Crazzy Steve at Rebellion.

Matches from the Newport, Kentucky tapings will air on upcoming episodes of TNA Impact.

Ash by Elegance to make in-ring debut at TNA TV taping

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The former Dana Brooke is making her TNA Wrestling in-ring debut this weekend.

TNA has announced that Ash by Elegance will be in action at the promotion’s television tapings in Orlando, Florida this Saturday (January 20). It’s the second night of a two-night TNA taping at Osceola Heritage Park in Orlando.

Brooke’s opponent for the match has not been announced.

At Hard to Kill last Saturday, Brooke made a surprise appearance and was shown watching the Knockouts Championship match between Trinity and Jordynne Grace. Grace defeated Trinity to win the title.

It was officially confirmed on Wednesday that Brooke has signed a TNA contract.

Brooke was a guest on Busted Open Radio this week and explained her new Ash by Elegance character:

So Ash by Elegance is a different side of me, but I try and live my life every single day as being super elegant. Elegant is a word — but I feel like it has a variety and many multiple meanings of it. It’s classiness, it’s elegance, it’s beautiful, it just means so much that I’m definitely going to bring that element into the ring and show everyone what class and elegance truly means.

Brooke was released by WWE in September 2023 during a round of roster cuts. Saturday will be the first non-WWE match of her career.

The announced lineups for Friday and Saturday’s TNA tapings are listed below. The matches will air on future episodes of Impact.

Friday, January 19 —

New TNA World Champion Moose has a match set for this weekend’s TNA television tapings.

Moose won the TNA World Championship from Alex Shelley in the main event of TNA’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view last Saturday night. After the title match, Hard to Kill ended with an angle where Moose was laid out by the debuting Nic Nemeth (formerly known as Dolph Ziggler in WWE).

Moose is part of a new faction named The System in TNA. The group consists of Moose, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, and former NFL player DeAngelo Williams.

At TNA’s Snake Eyes tapings after Hard to Kill, Moose, Myers & Edwards faced Shelley, Chris Sabin & Kazuchika Okada in a six-man tag team match. Spoilers from that taping can be found here.
