As we start the road towards Bound For Glory, TNA Impact! looks to gain the credibility of some fresh faces and continue the rivalries within the Knockouts Division.
Tonight’s Impact immediately kicks off with WWE NXT’s Wendy Choo teaming up with Rosemary to take on TNA Knockouts World Champion, Jordynne Grace, and a mystery partner. The NXT and TNA liason, Arianna Grace, announces that Sol Ruca will be on the side of our Knockouts Champion.
Grace and Ruca immediately get off to a strong start with Ruca hitting a moonsault to the outside and Grace hitting a dive to the outside, all before the opening bell. The bell finally rings, but Rosemary and Choo immediately begin their assault on Ruca and isolate her in their corner.
Ruca reverses the double suplex with a neckbreaker, and hot tags in a fresh Grace. Grace takes down both opponents and Ruca’s athleticism make for a thunderous pairing against the demonic duo. Ruca hits the Sol Snatcher on Rosemary, and victory is in their eyes until Tasha Steelz interrupts the match.
Steelz interruption is put to a halt as Masha Slamovich comes in to make the save. Choo, Rosemary and Steelz retreat, but the grudge held between these Knockouts is far from over.
After a series of fiery vignettes, Lei Ying Lee is set to make her long-awaited TNA debut tonight as she takes on Hyan.
The two lock up and Hyan tries to get in a little shove to start off the match. But, immediately regrets it as Lee confidently gets the best of Hyan. Hyan tries to slip out of the ring to avoid aerial contact but is met with a running kick from the apron. Hyan attempts to put a stop to Lee’s momentum, but it’s just not enough as Lee takes complete command and spin-kicks Hyan in the head for the win.
Next, Heather Reckless is in action tonight against Xia Brookside. Reckless has been looking to gain the interest of one Ash By Elegance and looks to prove herself worthy of a makeover.
Brookside hasn’t forgotten the trouble Reckless has put her through and gains the quick advantage in true Texas fashion. Reckless has had enough and starts hammering on Brookside, meanwhile Ash and her personal concierge show up to get a closer look at this match.
The “Angel of The Ring” comes back and takes out Reckless to the outside. She catches the eye of Ash and also a couple of hair extensions. Ash taunts Brookside to get her throat caught on the top rope, allowing Reckless to hit Rarified Air from the top rope for the win.
Backstage, Iceman tells Reckless that she’s missing some extensions, but is also missing a lot of Elegance as well. Iceman takes her away looking to fix these problems.
What did you think about tonight’s TNA Impact? Did Lee impress in her debut? Did Reckless finally get the makeover she’s looking for? And where does the Knockout title scene go from here? Let us know your thoughts below!
