A new championship match has been made official for the upcoming TNA Victory Road special event, which will stream live on TNA Plus on Friday, September 26. It was confirmed on the September 18 episode of TNA iMPACT! that “The War General” Steve Maclin will defend his TNA International Championship against the veteran “King of TNA,” Frankie Kazarian. The addition of this high-profile championship bout adds another layer of intrigue to what is shaping up to be a loaded card for the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada event. The feud between Maclin and Kazarian has been building in recent weeks, and their championship encounter is expected to be a hard-hitting and intense affair.
The announcement of this match finalizes a card that is packed with championship defenses and personal grudge matches. In the main event for the TNA Knockouts World Championship, the reigning champion, Ash by Elegance, will defend against the formidable Masha Slamovich, with the number one contender, Indi Hartwell, serving as the special guest referee. The winner of that match will go on to face Hartwell at Bound For Glory in October. Also on the show, the TNA X-Division Championship will be on the line as Leon Slater defends against Myron Reed, and The Elegance Brand will defend their TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championships against The IInspiration. In a major non-title singles match, Moose will face Mustafa Ali.
