TNA Global Impact 2014: TNA Champion Magnus vs. Kai
They begin with a feeling-out process as several TNA wrestlers come out to watch. Neither man can gain an advantage in a battle over a top wristlock, so Magnus takes Kai down into a headlock. Back up, Kai fires off three straight dropkicks, but Magnus stops his momentum with a forearm. The fight spills onto the ramp, where they battle over a suplex on the stage before Magnus takes Kai over. Magnus settles into another chinlock before transitioning into a camel clutch. Kai fights free and sends Magnus to the floor, then follows with a suicide dive to take control. Magnus fights out of a powerbomb attempt and fires back with kicks, but Kai drops him with a clothesline. The two trade heavy shots, with Kai hitting a Falcon Arrow for two. Kai heads to the top, but Magnus cuts him off and lands a superplex. The champion can’t capitalize, though, and Kai answers with a springboard enzuigiri followed by a running boot to the face for two. A powerbomb gets another two-count on Magnus, but the champion catches Kai with a Michinoku Driver for a near fall of his own. The top-rope elbow gets the same result, and Magnus follows with another Michinoku Driver before hitting a second top-rope elbow to retain the title.
Your winner, Magnus!
