For the second time, Elayna Black fell victim to the TNA Knockouts Television Championship time limit. In this case, Black challenged M By Elegance, the inaugural champion, for the title on Thursday night's episode of "TNA Impact."At M's request, the entire Elegance Brand, excluding herself, was banned from ringside for this KO TV Title match. That didn't stop M from resorting to questionable tactics, however.At one point, the defending champion dragged Black to the outside with the intention of stomping on her hand while it sat atop the steel steps. Black managed to move out the way and stomp on her hand instead. The challenger then dropped M with a suplex onto the floor.When the action returned to the ring, M fired off kicks in the corner and bridged into a Northern Lights Suplex for a near fall. The Elegance Brand member continued her momentum by cinching in an arm bar while simultaneously wrenching back Black's fingers. A knee to Black's ribs followed, as did a drive-by single-leg dropkick along the apron.In the match's final moments, M went up top, looking to deliver a moonsault on her way down. Instead, she met the mat and a knee to the face. After taking a suplex next, M rolled outside the ring, asking how much time was left on the clock. When she reentered, she and Black traded roll-ups, the latter of which was followed by a Black Out from the challenger. Unfortunately for Black, this move ultimately proved pointless as the bell rang before the referee could count three on her subsequent cover.M captured the title by defeating Jada Stone in the finals of a competitive tournament on August 27. Black originally took on former "NXT" star Wendy Choo in the tourney. Due to the strict 10-minute time limit attached to the championship, however, both were disqualified when the clock ran out in their opening round bout. Black later earned a second chance to pursue it by winning a recent fatal-four-way match.
