IMPACT is finally back as TNA today as Hard to Kill takes place. There are two Knockouts matches on the card with the return of the Ultimate X match.
The matches are –
Trinity (c) vs. Jordynne Grace – Knockouts World Championship
Gisele Shaw vs. Xia Brookside vs. Jody Threat vs. Tasha Steelz vs. Dani Luma vs. Alisha Edwards – Ultimate X Match
PREDICTIONS
Ultimate X
COLBY: I’m thrilled to see the Knockouts are getting another Ultimate X match, and what better time and place than the return of TNA. I also like this field as it’s a good mix of three familiar Knockouts plus three relative newcomers including Xia Brookside’s debut. Tasha and Alisha obviously took part in the first one and will be able to lead the charge here, but I don’t think either of them are the likeliest of winners. While Dani Luna would be a good shout, I think Gisele Shaw has the best shot at winning. I just feel like 2024 is the year she finally wins a title.
WINNER: Gisele Shaw
NICK: I know a lot of people aren’t impress with this line up but it could be a breakout for half the women in this match. I still see it as a pretty good match waiting to happen. With names in it that likely won’t win, this is a prime time to boost up Gisele. So that’s my winner.
WINNER: Gisele Shaw
Knockouts World Title Match
COLBY: I’d like to complain about the lack of build here, but the match does write itself on spectacle alone. I’ve seen many fans sharing how hyped they are on social media and I have to agree. The result won’t be as predictable as we don’t know 100% yet what Trinity’s status is in wake of rumors she could be returning to WWE. While I wouldn’t mind her reign continuing on, I think it would be fitting for Jordynne to regain the title to kick off the new TNA era seeing as though she signed a new deal to the company. Plus, Jordynne has been looking for that true bit of redemption ever since losing the title in last year’s Hard To Kill main event.
WINNER: Jordynne Grace
NICK: I really think it depends on when Trinity is leaving. Regardless, I think she is going to retain here and the Ultimate X winner is gonna cash in quick.
WINNER: Trinity
