Don West is with Tara in the ring for an interview and Don asks Tara about her time in WWE. She says that it was a dream but all good things come to an end. Tara says that she was not sure if she would be happy. She wanted to leave with a passion for the business so she could tell her kids. Don asks Tara about her decision to come to TNA. She says that it has been a tremendous experience so far. She watched Awesome Kong and she wants to wrestle her. Don asks Tara about Angelina, Velvet, and Madison. Don mentions the ‘controversy’ at Victory Road. Tara mentions the sexual favors Madison gave Slick Johnson and Don stops her because it is a family show. Tara says that she is in the best shape of her life and she came to TNA to prove that she still has ‘it’. She says that she does not start anything that she finishes. Don mentions Poison and Tara says that she needs to introduce Poison to Don.

Winners: ODB, Tara, and Awesome Kong

Lauren is in the back with Tara. She says she’s here to be number one in TNA and is out to prove she’s the best. She has a few words for Slick Johnson and wraps up the promo with a closeup of her spider.

Traci Brooks won the TNA Knockouts Battle Royal. Daffney was the first lady out. Madison Rayne was second and Slick Johnson checked on her on the outside. Sojo Bolt takes third. Then it was (in order): Velvet Sky, Taylor Wilde, Alissa Flash, Angelina Love, ODB, Sarita, Awesome Kong, and Tara. Traci “Knockout Law” Brooks wins the the match, $50,000 and becomes a member of the Main Event Mafia.

Kong and Tara continued to brawl outside until Tara turned her sites on Slick Johnson. She nut shotted him and left him laying.

Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, and Madison Rayne come out to the ring and Angelina has a mic and a beekeeper suit. Velvet has Spider spray and Madison has a broom.

Angelina says that she has filed a formal complaint with PETER, whoever that is against a certain new TNA knockout who was trying to endanger her with a big freaking spider. Angelina tells Tara that she is a big ugly freak show and there is no place for her in TNA. Angelina says that the match last week did not happen and it was a fluke. It was not an official match so Angelina says that she is still the champion. There was no contract signed and it was never official. Angelina says that she will make it official on Sunday.

Tara’s music plays and she comes out with her title match. Tara says that the belt around her waist says that she is the TNA Women’s Champion. Tara says that she will have to confirm it on Sunday night. Tara says that Angelina doesn’t have to worry about Poison because Poison likes dark and warm places. Tara put Poison in Angelina’s beekeeper suit. Angelina freaks out at the thought that the spider in in the suit.

Tara with a kick and then she hits the Widow’s Peak.

VELVET SKY vs. TARA
Tara came to the ring with her tarantula. Tara went right after Sky, but Sky did some choking on the mat. She pulled her hair and again and sent her face-first to the mat for two. Love was going to hit Tara with the belt, but the ref caught her before she could. Tara came back with right hands. Bodyslam by Tara, who then stalked Sky. Widow’s Peak ended it.

WINNER: Tara

Tara got the spider as Love and Madison Rayne freaked out at ringside. She was about to put the spider on Sky when Love grabbed the mic. Crowd chanted “do it, do it.” Love tried to distract Tara by challenging her to a match right then. Tara said it would be no problem as long as the Knockouts Title was on the line. She said she would, preventing Tara from putting the spider on Sky. The match is next.

ANGELINA LOVE vs. TARA – KNOCKOUTS TITLE MATCH
Love was rolled up right after the bell, then Tara got a backslide and small package for a triumvirate of near-falls. That caused Love to go to ringside and try and stop herself from having a panic attack. Rayne pulled Tara off the apron, right in the sight of now unemployed referee Rudy Charles, causing him to throw her out. Love was attacking Tara on the outside as he was doing so. Love threw Tara into the safety rail and West hilariously complained about the guy helping Tara free her foot from being stuck in the guardrail, saying fans shouldn’t be touching the TNA Superstars. Love made a few pins on Tara in the ring, to no avail. Boot to the face of the challenger for a two-count. Whip into the buckle by the champion, but she missed a charge. Tara came back with right hands (closed fists, according to West). Tilt-a-whirl back-breaker by Tara for two. Widow’s Peak hit and we’ve got a new Knockouts Champion.

WINNER: Tara

They focused on Tara celebrating with the title as the announcers discussed it. Give’em credit for staying on the scene longer than usual.

-Lauren met Tara backstage after coming down the stairs from the entrance tunnel. She said anything can happen in TNA and said that she was once at a point in her career when she didn’t think she could have happiness, but she’s more than happy to be in TNA. She also thanked her spider, Poison.

Madison Rayne had a giant poster of Victory Road with the Beautiful People on it with her as she accompanied her team to the ring. Apparently, Tara is short for “Tarantula,” and she brought one in a box to the ring with her. West talked about texting back-and-forth with Velvet at four or five in the morning about Tara. That was pretty funny. Tara worked over Velvet with a few arm-drags. Tara had Velvet by the arm and Awesome Kong made the tag, not allowing Sky to get away. Finally, after sending her into her corner, Love tagged in. Shots to the throat and head by Kong, then she tossed Love into the corner. Tara came back in and Madison got on the apron to distract the ref while Velvet interfered. That rarely causes a DQ anyway, so was the distraction even necessary? Sky and Love double-teamed Tara in the ring, then Velvet dropped an elbow that got two. Hair toss into the heel corner by Velvet, and Love came back in, but they did a double face-drop. Kong made the tag and Velvet’s offense had no effect. She took out Love too. Awesome Bomb coming up, but Love got involved, as did Tara. Love got sent into the post on the outside while Kong hit the Implant Buster for the win.

WINNERS: Kong & Tara

After the match, Tara brought the tarantula out of the box and even Kong seemed creeped out by it. Love and Rayne were already on the ramp and Tara put it on Sky’s stomach as she lay in the ring.

TNA KNOCKOUT WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Champion Angelina Love vs. Tara

Tara has decent music. She and Rayne trade some standing submissions, but Tara cartwheels out and grounds Rayne. She keeps working a wrist lock, so Rayne goes to the ropes where her peeps can pull her out. Tara knocks back Sky and Love, rolls Rayne back in, and hits a cool Slingshot Leg Drop for two. Is that new? Tara gets distracted by Love for a moment, which lets Rayne take control with a knee to the gut. She hits a few more knees to Tara’s head, then hits a Neck Breaker for two. She hits some mounted punches, continually going for covers. Rayne goes for a dropkick off the top rope, but Tara rolls out of the way. She catches Rayne with a right hand as she gets up. She hits a few more, than gets a Snap Suplex and rolls into the cover for two. She follows up with a Body Slam and a Standing Moonsault (no shimmy-shake) for two more. Annoyed, Tara hits the Widow’s Peak for the kill.

WINNER: Tara

Love gloats about her title on the way out.

WWE.com has released 8 wonderful photos of Victoria in her “Tough Cookie” Photoshoot! Be sure to check out the full set by clicking the link above!

Victoria and Beth Phoenix vs. Kelly Kelly and Mickie James. Kelly and Victoria started it off and Kelly ate a headlock take down before grabbing a head scissors. Kelly showed some nice chain wrestling stuff that was punctuated with a roll up but then she got punched in the face. Victoria got all mean and what not and ripped Kelly up over her shoulders by her hair a few times before slamming her to the mat. Kelly had enough and Mickie tags in. Mickie started doing her fun old head scissors and a hangman’s neck breaker. Mickie went to the top rope but Beth wiggled her off shaking the rope. Beth came in and began tossing Mickie all about but almost got tapped on a nice guillotine choke. The hell ensued shortly thereafter though as Beth tossed Mickie to the corner. She tagged Victoria who dumped Kelly to the outside. Beth was still dazed on the outside and Victoria taking her eye off the proverbial ball cost her, as Mickie hit the implant DDT for the win. Winners: Mickie James & Kelly Kelly

Armed with one of the most devastating finishing maneuvers in all of professional wrestling, the Widow’s Peak, Victoria is one of the most vicious Divas in WWE history. Don’t let her impeccable good looks fool you. She may be one of the hottest Divas around, but the vicious vixen’s beauty is only matched by a mean streak that has helped drive her to two Women’s Championships.
Victoria has also been a pioneer in the Women’s Division. At WrestleMania XX she defeated Molly Holly in the first-ever Women’s Division Hair vs. Championship Match. After defeating Holly to retain her gold, Victoria humiliated Molly in front of a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden by shaving her head.
Outside of the ring, Victoria has been involved in various programs,speaking on behalf of WWE’s Smackdown! Your Vote program, encouraging the youth of America to exercise their right to vote. While Victoria has always stressed the importance of children to be physically active, she believes it is also imperative to get a good education. Victoria studied biology at several colleges: Riverside Community, Loma Linda University and UCLA. She worked at the Inland Eye and Tissue Bank in Redlands, Calif., for three years.
Victoria has also shown over the years that she feels that success should only come from hard work. She’s a strong believer that nothing should be handed to you in life.
“I want little girls to look at me as, yeah, I’m a T-and-A, but I can freakin’ kick your a**, too. And I have some smarts behind me,” she once said. “So I’m a well-rounded individual. I want little girls to look up to me and say, You know what? I could do that,’ and believe in themselves.”
