Your winners and new Impact Tag Team Champions, The North!
Good match and story.
Backstage, Rosemary, Taya and John E. Bravo were "meeting someone." Havok showed up. Rosemary said she'd see Bravo at the altar. She and Havok left. Taya asked Bravo how much he's told Rosemary. He yelled at her to stop. Taya wanted him top be his own man and now he is and when he marries Rosemary, he'll wear the pants in the relationship and stormed off.
Madison Rayne joined the commentator's table. She blew off Josh and fawned over Don Callis.
Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo with Kimber Lee vs. Kylie Rae.
Kylie did not come out. They foreshadowed this earlier when they said no one had seen Rae.
Deonna took the mic and said she wishes she was surprised but she's not surprised. She said she will defend her title tonight and that's what she will do. Any man or woman who is alive in the locker room, she'll face right now.
Su Yung's music played and the Undead Bride returned. Deonna and Lee were not thrilled. I am guessing anyone who ordered specifically for the match isn't thrilled either but given the storyline of late, this sort of makes sense as a replacement but it still sucked.
We are told that Kylie Rae was legitimately not at the building at all today and the company had to change plans.
Yung tossed Deonna around the ring. They battled to the apron, Yung in control all the way. She nailed a sideslam on the apron outside and went under the ring. Yung emerged with a chair but Kimber Lee distracted her. Yung pursued her around the ring. Yung returned and they exchanged strikes and near-falls. Yung took her down and scored a two count.
Purrazzo took control and stomped away at her. She worked over Yung for some time, nailing kicks to the face and locked her up in a straitjacket submission like a pretzel around the ropes. Yung mounted a comeback but was stomped down. Purrazzo nailed a German suplex three times. Yung came back with a DDT for a two count. She worked over Purrazzo and dragged her around the ring. Yung nailed a dive to the floor, taking Purrazzo out. She tossed the champ back into the ring.
Purrazzo tried to beg off. Yung nailed her with a Pedigree for a two count. Yung pulled on her glove and went for the Mandible Claw. Purrazzo ducked and went for a move. The referee was almost wiped out but avoided it. Deonna went for a pump kick but got the referee by accident. Yung took out Purrazzo but there was no referee. Lee hit the ring and nailed Yung with a chair. Deonna went off the ropes but was placed in the Mandible Claw. Lee hit the ring but was hit with the mist.
Purrazzo locked on an armbar but she got the Mandible Claw placed in her face and had to break. Purrazzo nailed a big pump kick to the face. She went for another German suplex but was caught with a stunner. Yung nailed the Switch and scored the pin.
Your winner and new Knockouts Champion, Su Yung!
This got better and better as it went on, although not announcing Kylie wasn't there until the moment of the match wasn't cool.
The company officially announced the return of the Knockouts Tag Team Championship. They announced the titles would return at Hard to Kill on 1/16/21. That's the next PPV.
Impact Champion Eric Young vs. Rich Swann
Young went right after the leg but Swann escaped. Swann nailed a nice rana and a dropkick. He teased a dive but Young walked off so Swann bounced off the ropes and rebounded backwards in the ring. Swann followed him to the floor and blasted him into the ring post. Swann chopped him and smashed him into the apron. Swann sent him back to the ring but Young rolled right back to the floor, where he was nailed with a dropkick through the ropes.
Back in the ring, Young tried to take down Swann's leg. Swann fought him off and nailed a flip off the apron to the floor. Swann nailed him with a right hand. Swann backdropped him into the ropes from the floor and Swann landed on his head and shoulder. He began grabbing at the neck. Young, seeing a weakness, went right after it. Swann was almost counted out but beat the count.
Young elevated and draped him on the ropes, crotching him, then began working him over with shots to the back and neck. He elevated and slammed Swann off the top, slamming him to the mat. Young covered him for several two counts. Young continued to work him over, sending him hard into the buckles. Young continued to beat him down, but Swann kept kicking out at the last second. Young nailed a neckbreaker for another two count. Swann was stomped in the corner as Young screamed at him to stay down.
Young continued to measure and beat down on Swann. He kept berating Swann to go away, beating him but Swann kept returning to his feet. Swann's facial expressions were awesome here. Swann fired back and whipped him across the ring. Young went up and over and ran for the opposite corner but Swann caught him and superplexed him off for a two count. Swann came up bleeding heavy from the mouth so they must have clunked heads or he hit his face on the mat.
