Here are the quick results from tonight’s TAPED Impact Wrestling from Atlanta, GA (POTENTIAL SPOILERS for west feed viewers in case AXS TV does not simulcast nationwide, in which case it would air at 8 PM PT. These are from the Impact+/Ultimate Insider version that premieres at 8:30 PM ET/5:30 PM PT and is the same as the AXS broadcast but with no commercials. This DOES NOT include the Before The Impact Pre-Show available FOR FREE on YouTube. Also note that although the show is taped well in advance I DO NOT read spoilers beforehand to I do not know what happened before the show airs):
IN MEMORY OF JAY BRISCOE, 1984-2023
Hard To Kill PPV highlights open the show.
NEW Impact Knockouts Champion Mickie James comes out first. Quickly interrupted by Bully Ray. This led to Tasha Steelz coming out for a challenge and a near-beatdown with Savannah Evans on James but Frankie Kazarian & Jordynne Grace quickly made the save. After all this new “Director Of Authority” Santino Marella came out. Soon after he started talking Ernest Miller came out. They make a match involving everyone out in the ring. Which led to…
Match 1: Frankie Kazarian, Jordynne Grace & Mickie James beat Bully Ray, Tasha Steelz & Savannah Evans. James pinned Steelz. Afterwards, new #1 Knockouts contender Masha Slamovich came out for a staredown with James. Grace does have rematch rights too as former champion.
Marella announces a Golden 6 Shooter Match to determine the #1 contender to Impact World Champion Josh Alexander at No Surrender, scheduled for 2/24 in Las Vegas, NV (Damn, that’s the day after I leave Vegas after my vacation there next month!). There will also be 2 days of events after that on 2/25 & 2/26. 2/24 will be available LIVE on Impact+ & Ultimate Insider on YouTube (with subscription) and FITE (PPV for $9.99).
