TNA Under Siege notes: New champions crowned, Hammerstone pulled

Friday’s TNA Under Siege only had three title matches on the card, one of which saw a title change with another one announced due to necessity.

The Knockouts Tag Team Championship is now owned by Masha Slamovich & Alisha Edwards after their victory over Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat). 

It’s the fifth title change for these belts this year alone and Slamovich’s third overall. Her prior two were with Killer Kelly who is currently taking some time off from the promotion. It’s Edwards’ first title reign of any kind in TNA.

The win ends the two-month run for Spitfire who had just one successful title defense in that time.

The other title bouts saw X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali successfully retain his gold by besting former champion Ace Austin, while Digital Media Champion Laredo Kid defeated KC Navarro.

The card saw several matches change from the originally announced lineup.

Alexander Hammerstone was set to face Jake Something, but Hammerstone was “not medically cleared” to wrestle and thus was pulled. It’s unknown what the injury is as both Hammerstone and TNA had posted on social media about the match just hours before the show started.

As a result of that change, Something was then booked against Rich Swann. Swann had been set to face Digital Media Champion Laredo Kid in a non-title match. 

Kid then was signed to the aforementioned title defense against KC Navarro who hadn’t been announced for the show.

After an extended absence, a new deal with the company and vignettes heralding his return under unique circumstances, Jonathan Gresham introduced his new look which includes wrestling under a mask in addition to trunks.
