Rosemary offered to bring Crazzy Steve to the ring to help Taya win tonight. Taya said that she knows she can beat Deonna Purrazzo alone. They offered to keep Purrazzo's lackies at bay. Taya finally agreed and said when she wins, they are going to Slamtown. They left, and Acey Romero, wearing the detective's cap, entered Taya's locker room. Did Taya shoot John E. Bravo?
Ace Austin came to the ring with Madman Fulton. Since his interview was cut off earlier, he's going to take his time now. He questioned the idea that the best way to use him is to talk about a Josh Alexander match on the Countdown show. He declared he was entering the X-Division Championship match since he was the Super X Cup winner. Scott D'Amore, doing his best Paul Heyman, came out and said that he's not getting the X-Division title match, but he's got a special opponent for Ace Austin...out walked the former Zack Ryder, Matt Cardona.
Matt Cardona vs. Ace Austin
Cardona looked great early on with a neckbreaker and a sliding kick on Austin, but was caught on the floor and nailed. Austin nailed a series of kicks to the chest and back in the corner. He went for a splash in the corner but Cardona nailed a leaping knee. Austin drilled him and came off the top with a crusher. Nice intensity to this so far.
Austin missed a twisting splash into the ring. Cardona nailed a flapjack and hit a running clothesline in the corner. He nailed the Reboot in the corner but Madman Fulton attacked him.
Your winner by DQ, Matt Cardona!
Cardona fought back and nailed a Rough Ryder on Fulton. They played this up as a successful first match for Cardona. The finish was lame but it was more about the moment and this can easily be the start of a program, so there's at least something that can come out of this.,
X-Division Champion Manik vs. Chris Bey vs. Rohit Raju.
Bey and Raju tried to double team Manik but were outclassed early. Bey and Raju quickly turned on each other and battled back and forth. Lots of nice action. Raju slammed Bey and tried to take off Manik's mask. Bey pulled Raju to the floor and drilled him with a right hand. Raju returned and sent Manik into the ropes. He held onto the ropes. Raju charged but Manik moved and Raju crashed to the floor.
Manik trapped Bey in a modified Texas Cloverleaf. Raju returned and grabbed Manik's arm, wrenching it, but Manik hit a back suplex, sending Raju rolling to the floor. Bey was trapped in the leglock the entire time. Manik nailed a leaping kick off the buckles on Bey. Raju attacked them both and went for the mask. He pulled it off but underneath, TJP had a fully painted face, so you couldn't "tell it was him." He nailed Raju and went to the top but after leaping off Bey caught him with a cutter in mid-air. Bey nailed the Ultimate Finesse and covered Manik but Raju broke up the pinfall.
Bey and Raju battled on the top rope. Manik caught Raju with a rana off the top, kicked Bey and hit a double stomp on Raju but Bey broke up the pinfall. They went into a crazy sequence of big moves and near falls. Raju went for a STO but Manik broke free. Bey was caught with a springboard spike DDT. He nailed a Crucifix Bomb for a close two count.
Raju charged and drilled Bey for another close two count. Raju nailed a double stomp on Bey, who was hanging off the ropes. Raju locked on a Regal Stretch but Manik fought towards the ropes. Bey nailed them to break up the submission attempt. Raju hit Bey with a small package for a two count. Raju nailed a slideby knee on Raju but Manik rolled him up and scored the pin.
Your winner and still X-Division Champion, Manik!
Good action, although the idea Manik and TJP aren't the same person at this point is razor-thin.
Backstage, Alisha Edwards wanted to go to ringside for the Barbed Wire Massacre. Eddie Edwards said, "What are you going to do? Fight Ken Shamrock?" That was a great line for some reason. He asked her to go home and take care of their daughter as he doesn't know what he's in for, whether he'll get home or even if he'll be walking after.
Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo (with Kimber Lee and Susan) vs. Taya Valkyrie (with Decay).
Taya was in control early on, chasing Deonna to the floor. Lee nailed Taya from behind. Decay got into it with Lee and Susan. The referee threw all the seconds out of the ringside area.
With all distractions out of the way, Taya cleaned house with a big boot but was cut off when Deonna snapped her arm and attacked that extremity. Taya's arm was bent backwards on the mat and stomped. Purrazzo worked her over for a long time, with Taya really having to fight from underneath to make a comeback. Taya finally tackled her down for a two count. Taya came up with her knee and shoulder bothering her.
Taya went for The Road to Valhalla but her knee buckled, but Purrazzo slipped out and nailed a dropkick to the legs. They battled back and forth with near falls. Taya did a really nice job selling the pain of the knee and psyching herself up. She tied up Deonna's legs and pulled her up for a curb stomp, smashing her into the mat.
Taya locked Deonna in a STF but Purrazzo made her way to the ropes. They fired back and forth with big rights and forearms. Purrazzo snatched her in a Fujiwara armbar. Taya turned it over into a pinfall attempt but was snapped back into it. Purrrazzo gained control and it was turned into the Venus de Milo. Taya submitted.
Your winner and still Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion, Deonna Purrazzo!
This was very good. Taya was excellent here in selling and Purrazzo is in another world on the mat these days. Backstage, Acey Romero found John E. Bravo. He said that he doesn't care, he knows Larry D shot him. Romero said that perhaps Larry did it, but he was set up. Romero said he's been looking in the shadows and found Ring Rust cologne in the Knockouts locker room. Bravo asked who's bag he found that in. ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER.
