Former friends have become bitter rivals in recent weeks as Xia Brookside’s relationship with Léi Yǐng Lee completely broke down amid their quest for the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) World Knockout Championship.
When Lee finally won the title, Brookside’s desire grew even more. This all led up to their title match at Slammiversary on Sunday night.

Lee set the tone from the start, using his agility and speed to completely knock Brookside down. Multiple kicks combined with a dropkick kept her from staying in front of Brookside. She then hit a nasty German suplex and a thrust kick after that. As they exited the ring, Lee hit a diving shoulder block to Brookside.
But Brookside only needed a moment to get back into the game. She pushed Lee into the ring post, twisting Lee’s left knee. She started working on the knee, finding the best opening to do some damage to the champion.

Lee was unhappy with Brookside’s punishment. Even though she was taking damage from Brookside’s submission, she wanted “more.” The trash talk continued for the rest of the match. Brookside’s kicks were countered by Lee, who countered and put his opponent into a submission maneuver of his own.
