Zachary Wentz vs. Chris Bey

Zachary Wentz makes his IMPACT in-ring return against Chris Bey as he looks to prove that the Rascalz deserve a shot at the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles! Bey is in control as Wentz retreats to the outside. Austin and Miguel almost come to blows as Wentz knocks Bey off his feet. Wentz distracts the referee, allowing Miguel to choke Bey on the ropes. Bey turns things around with a top rope clothesline for two. Bey hits Code Red but it’s still not enough to keep Wentz down. Miguel gets up on the apron but Austin has had enough as he pulls him down to the floor. Miguel gives him a thumb to the eye, followed by a superkick. Wentz uses a foreign object on Bey, then connects with a headlock DDT to win.

Winner: Zachary Wentz via Pinfall.

Jean goads Hendry into entering the ring, drawing the referee’s attention and allowing King to illegally attack Uemura from the apron. King pummels Uemura with a series of strikes but Uemura uses his quickness to evade the follow-up attack. Uemura tags in Hendry as the champ goes on the assault. Hendry hits a Fallaway Slam on King before things start to break down. King plants Uemura with a Tiger Driver. Hendry rips off King’s hoodie and the crowd begins to chant “Stripper Kenny”.

Moose charges towards Callihan but the “Death Machine” pulls the top rope down, sending him toppling to the outside. Swann superkicks Moose as Callihan tosses Myers to the floor as well. Callihan launches his own partner into Moose and Myers as Swann connects with a somersault off the apron. Myers attacks Swann on the outside to give his team the advantage. Moose and Myers cut off the ring and begin to wear Swann down. Swann creates some much-needed separation as he counters a powerbomb into an Enzuigiri kick. Swann tags in Callihan and the pace quickens as he gets two for one with a DDT Flatliner combo on both of his opponents. Moose avoids the Cactus Driver 97 and both men are down following in-sync clotheslines. Myers inadvertently superkicks Moose. Swann has Myers beat following the Handspring Cutter but Moose pushes Callihan into the pile to break up the pin. Moose and Myers have another miscue, leading to the Death Valley Driver from Callihan and 450 Splash from Swann. Somehow, Moose is able to kick out at two. Myers has the referee distracted as Moose delivers a low blow to Callihan. Moose spears Callihan to score the victory.

Impact Knockouts World Championship Open Challenge Match
Jody Threat vs. Deonna Purrazzo (c)

Just 48 hours before she defends the Knockouts World Title against Trinity, Deonna Purrazzo holds an open challenge for the Knockouts World Title in tonight’s main event. Purrazzo is here to remind the entire Knockouts Division exactly who she is and all that she’s accomplished.

The undefeated Jody Threat answers the open challenge! Threat bounces off the ropes and hits double knees to the face of Purrazzo. Threat charges into the corner but Purrazzo avoids the incoming attack. Purrazzo begins to target the left arm of Threat as she snaps it back on the mat. Purrazzo locks in the Fujiwara Armbar but Threat makes it to the bottom rope to break the hold. Threat hits a suplex out of the corner to create separation. Threat successfully hits the running double knees, followed by a German suplex for two. Threat counters Queen’s Gambit, then soars with a top rope cannonball. Threat hits a running clothesline for another two count. Purrazzo locks in another Fujiwara Armbar but this time, Threat rolls through and escapes. Threat attempts the F-Bomb but Purrazzo counters into Venus de Milo to win by submission.

Winner: Deonna Purrazzo via Submission to retain the Impact Knockouts World Championship.

After the match, Purrazzo and Threat are shaking hands when they’re blindsided by Gisele Shaw, Savannah Evans and Jai Vidal. The Death Dollz join the fray as they drop Evans and Vidal. The Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, The Coven, attack the Death Dollz until Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly shift the momentum. The IMPACT Zone erupts as Trinity is out next to clear the ring of Shaw, Evans and Vidal. Purrazzo and Trinity go face to face in the middle of the ring but when Trinity grabs the Knockouts World Title, Purrazzo delivers a straight right hand to her jaw. The fight is on between champion and challenger this Saturday at Slammiversary when referees and security break things up.
