Check out these must-see matchups that have been made official:
Fans around the world will be walking with Elijah as he challenges the TNA World Champion — whoever that may be — at Against All Odds. The high-stakes championship showdown was made official on the first iMPACT! after Under Siege.
But before we get there, new TNA World Champion Trick Williams must make his first defense of the title since dethroning Joe Hendry at WWE Battleground, as he collides with Mike Santana on NXT. Who will walk into Against All Odds as TNA World Champion, and will they have what it takes to overcome Elijah?
Masha Slamovich kept her trend-setting Knockouts World Championship reign alive as she defeated Victoria Crawford at Under Siege. But when Slamovich offered a well-deserved title opportunity to Léi Yǐng Lee, Sheriff Stone made her earn it.
Less than one week later on iMPACT!, Lee triumphed over one half of the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, Ash By Elegance, solidifying her place as the #1 Contender. Lee vows to become Knockouts World Champion for the very first time when she meets Masha Slamovich at Against All Odds.
Joe Hendry’s world came crashing down when he was dethroned as TNA World Champion by NXT’s Trick Williams. But as the old saying goes, there’s no rest for the weary — especially in TNA Wrestling.
While Hendry’s ultimate goal of reclaiming the TNA World Championship undoubtedly remains, he must first settle an old score with one of his fiercest rivals, Frankie Kazarian. The two will meet in a highly-anticipated grudge match at Against All Odds.
Ever since his arrival, NXT’s Robert Stone has been on a collision course with Director of Authority Santino Marella. Stone wants one thing: total control of TNA Wrestling — but Marella won’t let him have it.
After asserting his power as the Sheriff and stacking the deck in favor of his supporters Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard, Stone continued to make life difficult for Marella and his daughter, NXT’s Arianna Grace.
Following a tag team match that saw Stone and Crawford defeat Marella and Grace, the stage is now set for the final showdown. Robert Stone will battle Santino Marella at Against All Odds, where the winner will become the official TNA Director of Authority.
After retaining the TNA World Tag Team Championship over Matt Hardy and Leon Slater at Under Siege, the brash and arrogant Nemeth brothers must now turn their attention towards their next challengers.
An adrenaline-pumping Four-Way Match would determine the #1 Contenders on iMPACT!, as The Rascalz toppled FIR$T CLA$$, The System and Laredo of the Aztec Warriors. Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz are former TNA World Tag Team Champions in their own right, and will look to make it two-times against Nic and Ryan Nemeth at Against All Odds.
Steve Maclin has been on a roll since becoming the first-ever TNA International Champion. Following victories over Eric Young and Matt Cardona, Maclin must now face his toughest challenger to date — the unhinged Mace Warner.
There is no line that Warner will not cross — now imagine what he is willing to do with the TNA International Championship at stake. Who will leave Against All Odds with gold over their shoulder?
Stay tuned for more news on Against All Odds.
