TNA All‑Stars Pin Champions in Champions Challenge to Earn Two Title Shots

Pinned upsets on the May 28 iMPACT created immediate challenger programs while TNA has not yet set dates for the title matches.

Overview

  • TNA staged a Champions Challenge on May 28 that paired teams of current titleholders against all‑star teams with the rule that any all‑star who pins a champion wins a future title shot.
  • On the men’s side K.C. Navarro surprised Mustafa Ali by pinning him after a Blessing in Disguise move to earn a future TNA International Championship match against Ali.
  • On the Knockouts side Xia Brookside pinned Knockouts World Champion Léi Yǐng Lee after outside involvement, including former UFC fighter Keith Jardine stopping a cheating attempt by the Elegance Brand.
  • Both finishes involved ringside interference or outside objects that directly affected the outcomes, and TNA has confirmed the results on its social channels but has not announced dates for either title match.
  • The Champions Challenge continues TNA’s current TV strategy of using taped touring shows and cross‑platform broadcasts to fast‑track underdog challengers into title programs and to build personal rivalries ahead of formal title bouts.
