Following successful title defense against Kiera Hogan Last week’s TNA Knockouts Television Champion M By Elegance will now turn her attention to Elaina Black. The former WWE star earned a future title shot by winning a fatal four-way match Thursday night’s edition of “TNA Impact.”
Black, Gabby Forza, Harley Hudson, and Jada Stone faced off in a four-way, with Black charging into the gate, hitting Forza, which “The Gnomie” immediately turned into a power slam to the mat. Stone and Hudson looked to knock Forza off balance with a flurry of strikes in quick succession, only to be taken down with a double clothesline. Forza continued his offense, crushing Hudson in the corner. Black eventually broke things up, however, blasting him with an elbow and a hurricanrana, the latter of which sent Forza flying across the ring.
At the end of the match, all four women faced off at the top of the turnbuckle. Forza then sent them all crashing right off his vertical suplex into Stone. Once they got to their feet once more, Stone and Black nailed Forza with a double dose of superkicks. Stone followed Black’s back with a double, and Hudson fell soon after. Forza connected again with a melee elbow to Stone. However, his momentum was short lived as Stone successfully connected with the Spark Stunner. Forza then rolled out of the ring, leaving Stone to DDT Blacks.
With his victory, Black will challenge M for the Knockouts Television Championship at a time and place yet to be announced. M won the title by defeating Stone in the tournament finals on August 27. According to the new title, it will be protected exclusively on Impact programming, along with a strict 10-minute time limit.
