And new.
At TNA Sacrifice on March 8, ABC’s Ace Austin and Chris Bey defended the TNA World Tag Team Championship against The System’s Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers in the second bout of the main card.
After an intense back-and-forth battle, Alisha Edwards interfered at ringside by tripping Ace Austin. This allowed Myers to hit the Roster Cut clothesline and then Edwards hit his Boston Knee Party knee strike for the pinfall victory.
This is now The System’s first tag team title reign, while it’s Edwards’ sixth and Myers’ second, respectively.
Below is a play-by-play recap of the match courtesy of WrestleZone’s live coverage:
TNA World Tag Team Championship: ABC (c) vs. Eddie Edwards & Brian Myers
Myers and Ace start the bout. Ace and Bey trade quick tags to double-team Edwards for a beat. Myers spears Ace on the apron, marking a change in control. Back inside, Myers hits Bey with a suplex and then pivots to a headlock to keep him grounded. Ace finally gets a tag and meets Eddie with clotheslines followed by a flurry of offense.
Bey tags in for double-team offense. Bey lands a huge cutter on Myers before The System regroups outside with Alisha. Alisha gets on the apron but Bey leaps over her to wipe out Eddie and Myers. ABC continues to double-team Eddie until he fights back. Ace does his best to fight back against The System until Eddie hits the back pack stunner followed by Myers’ elbow drop; Bey breaks the cover.
Bey throws punches to both men and then gets dropped. Ace nearly pins Eddie off a roll-up. Alisha trips up Ace, allowing for Myers to hit Roster Cut. Eddie then hits Boston Knee Party for the win.
Winners and NEW: The System
