TNA started the new year with a bang on January 9, 2025, delivering a thrilling night of action that will be remembered as one of the company’s finest moments. Two standout matches captivated the audience: the hard-hitting battle between Jordyn Grace and Tessa Blanchard, and Lei Ying Lee’s emotional victory over Savannah Evans.
Jordyn Grace vs. Tessa Blanchard: A Show-Stealing Classic
The long-awaited clash between Jordyn Grace and Tessa Blanchard exceeded all expectations. Both competitors entered the ring with something to prove—Grace, showcasing her power and dominance, and Blanchard, demonstrating why she’s still one of the most technically sound wrestlers in the business.
Blanchard set the tone early, using her speed and cunning to keep Grace off balance. Her relentless strikes and strategic submissions pushed Grace to the limit. But Grace, fueled by raw strength and determination, turned the tide with a series of thunderous power moves, including a jaw-dropping Grace Bomb that nearly ended the match.
The decisive moment came when Blanchard attempted her Magnum finisher. Grace countered mid-air, catching Blanchard and driving her into the mat with a devastating Grace Driver to secure the pinfall.
After the match, Grace stood tall, soaking in the cheers from the crowd. “Tessa’s tough, but I’m tougher,” Grace declared. “This is just the beginning of my reign in TNA.”
Lei Ying Lee’s Redemption
In another emotionally charged match, Lei Ying Lee faced Savannah Evans, seeking revenge after Evans’ brutal chair attack weeks earlier. The bad blood between these two competitors was evident as Lee charged into the ring, wasting no time taking the fight to Evans.
Evans, leveraging her size and strength, dominated the early stages of the match. But Lee’s speed and tactical precision kept her in the fight. The crowd erupted as Lee executed her breathtaking Dragon’s Flight moonsault, leaving Evans stunned.
Seizing the moment, Lee locked in her signature Dragon’s Snare submission, forcing Evans to tap out in a powerful display of resilience and skill.
With tears in her eyes, Lee addressed the crowd post-match: “This was for everyone who’s ever been knocked down. Savannah tried to end me, but I’m still standing—and I’m coming for more.”
What’s Next for TNA?
With Jordyn Grace’s dominance on full display and Lei Ying Lee proving she’s a force to be reckoned with, the TNA landscape is more exciting than ever. Will Blanchard demand a rematch? Could Lee’s win catapult her into the Knockouts Championship conversation?
One thing is certain: 2025 has just begun, and TNA is already delivering unforgettable moments.
