Jordynne Grace got some help from a returning Sami Callihan.
Grace retained her title over Steph De Lander at TNA Rebellion, but it was not an easy win by any means. Grace had to deal with interference by the Good Hands, PCO and Big Kon. It was Callihan who ended up showing at the end of the match, evening the odds with a baseball bat. Callihan then shoved SDL in the ring so Grace could bring it home.
Check out a recap of the match, courtesy of our live coverage page:
Knockouts Championship: Jordynne Grace (c) vs. Steph De Lander
Grace whips SDL outside and takes her out with a splash into the barricade. Grace goes for a suplex on the apron but SDL rakes her face and snaps Grace’s head on the top rope. SDL pummels Grace in the back of the head and sends her into the ropes. Grace cracks her with an elbow, but SDL knocks her right back on the mat. SDL showboats a bit and dares Grace to hit her. SDL hits Grace in the back and gets a two count.
SDL slams Grace onto the turnbuckles and kicks her in the ribs, then connects with a suplex for two. SDL tries to ground Grace in the corner, but Grace jumps up and applies a sleeperhold with leglock. The Good Hands jump on the apron to cause a distraction, and SDL tries to hit Grace with the title. The ref catches her, but he ends up taking an inadvertent elbow strike. SDL attacks Grace and tries to go for the pin, with Jason Hotch taking the ref’s shirt and declaring himself the official.
The lights go out as he counts, then they come back on to reveal PCO in the ring. PCO takes the Good Hands out of the match, then SDL tries to butter PCO up and flirt with him. She takes his coat off and rubs his head, but he grabs her arm and tries to chokeslam her. Big Kon runs in and stops PCO, then slams PCO onto the floor. Grace is stalking Kon and shoves him, and he piefaces her forcefully onto the mat. Grace hits him in the balls and smirks, then lifts him up in a fireman’s carry. The Good Hands run back in and attack Grace, and Kon threatens to snap her neck.
The lights go out again… and this time it’s Sami Callihan in the ring! Sami attacks everyone with a baseball bat and hits Cactus Driver ’97 before going after SDL. He whips SDL in the ring, and Grace hits a Juggernaut Driver to retain.
Winner – Jordynne Grace
