Earlier tonight, the NXT-TNA liaison Arianna Grace was backstage as Tessa approached, who bragged about how Santino tried to get the match restarted but Robert Stone overrode him and let the decision stand. Tessa said she’s going to get rid of Santino and then she’ll be next. Grace stepped up to Tessa and said she really loves talking down to people…Tessa slaps Arianna and walks away smiling.
After being slapped by Tessa earlier in the show, Arianna Grace is backstage talking with Santino and says she wants Tessa Blanchard in the ring at Under Siege. Santino says that Arianna didn’t come to TNA to step into the ring.
Mr. Stone walks up and says that’s the best idea Santino has ever had – Arianna Grace in the ring. He’s going to get it approved by the higher ups.
The match is made official.
Arianna will have her father – Santino Marella – in her corner, and Tessa will have Robert Stone in her corner. Who will prevail? We’ll have to tune in to find out.
Also, we’ll see Mike Santana take on FIR$T CLA$$ member AJ Francis (w/KC Navarro).
Last week, Mike Santana was showing respect to Sami Callihan after his Barbed Wire Massacre match a few weeks ago. Both men were interrupted by KC Navarro and AJ Francis – who Santana told to shut up. AJ said they didn’t come here to talk to Mike, but they wanted to attempt to recruit Sami to the group. Sami turns them down and walks away. Santana asked AJ if they had a problem, which AJ said he doesn’t have problems – he’s the solution.
During tonight’s episode of iMPACT, AJ and KC did a Penthouse segment where they trashed talked Los Angeles. This promoted OShea Jackson Jr to come out and defend the city, and then Mike Santana made his way through the crowd and approached AJ & KC – at which time they fled to the back.
Former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champions Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) cashed in their contractual rematch at Under Siege and will challenge Heather & Ash By Elegance.
Will Spitfire win back the titles, or do Ash & Heather continue their reign?
