Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo vs. Jordynne Grace: Should Grace fail to win, she will not be allowed another title shot as long as Purrazzo is Champion
The story was Purrazzo was trying to grapple and Grace wanted to fight and use her power. Purrazzo used a series of knees to the back and snapped her with a neckbreaker to the apron outside, which looked brutal. Purrazzo nailed a flip off the apron. Grace battled back and gained control. She nailed a German suplex with a bridge for a two count. Purrazzo battled back and nailed a Side Russian Legsweep into an armbar but Grace turned it into a pinfall attempt. Purrazzo kicked out and attacked Grace, scoring a flip suplex for another two count.
Fans went back and forth chanting for the competitors. Purrazzo nailed a back elbow. Grace halted a move but was caught in a piledriver variation for a two count. Purrazzo called for the Queen's Gambit but Grace escaped. She nailed a spinning backfist and a powerbomb. She drilled the champ with a Jackhammer but Deonna kicked up at the last second.
Grace tried to position Purrazzo on the ropes but she slipped out and trapped Grace between the buckles and kicked her. She nailed a powerbomb. Grace went for a pinfall but Deonna nailed the Queen's Gambit. Grace kicked out at the two count, which the announcers were shocked at. Deonna was wondering what most she needed to attack Grace with. She attacked the arm and went for the Fujiwara armbar. Grace fought her way out and an inverted piledriver for another two count.
The battled continued with stereo clotheslines and they both go down. They battled to get to their feet, but not before going nose to nose as they rose up. They drilled each other back and forth. Grace kicked off a charge in the corner. She went went to the top and attempted to hit the Grace Driver from the top. Purrazzo fought her way out and nailed The Queen's Gambit off the ropes into the ring for the pin.

Another really good match with some strong wrestling and a good story of power vs. finesse told. Grace and Purrazzo always have really good chemistry in the ring and still was no exception. Very well done.
Grace rolled out of the ring, upset with her loss.
Impact Wrestling Champion Steve Maclin vs. PCO - No DQ.
They brawled at the bell. PCO hit a Cactus clothesline over the top to the floor, then hit a tope con hilo. He worked over Maclin with body blows. He caught PCO and suplexed him on the ring steps, which looked evil. He tossed some plunder into the ring and nailed PCO with a cookie sheet. He worked over PCO and dumped him to the floor. Maclin went for a dive but PCO struck him with a cookie sheet.
PCO began pulling chairs out from underneath. Maclin came up bleeding heavily. PCO nailed him with a trash can across the head. That didn't help matters. There was a lot of blood. PCO went to use a staplegun but was lowblowed. Maclin brandished a chair and drilled PCO with it. Canada chanted "Jersey sucks." Maclin kept beating PCO. He wedged a trash can in between the buckles. Maclin beat down PCO and hung him by the tree of woe, upside down. He nailed the Crosshairs, smashing PCO into the can for a two count.
Maclin used the staplegun on PCO's face and...he actually stapled him. WHAT THE HELL. PCO fought him off and then yanked the staples out. Yeah, that's disgusting. Even if there was some sort of sleight of hand here, it's still disgusting.
Maclin tossed some pieces of concrete into the ring after nailing PCO with a sledgehammer. He placed the concrete over his back and smashed them with the sledgehammer. PCO writhed in pain on the mat. Maclin covered him but PCO kicked out. PCO made a comeback and nailed the Deanimator. He went back to the top where Maclin slammed him with a chair. He grabbed PCO's arms and yanked him down, forcing PCO to crash down across the apron.
Maclin was beaten down and set up a group of cinderblocks in the ring. He placed Maclin across them and went to the top. Maclin stopped him and nailed a DVDR on the blocks, then hit a KOA and scored the pinfall.
Your winner and still Impact Wrestling Champion Steve Maclin!
This was absolutely insane, bordering on disgusting, but at the same time, a gritty, gritty brawl. PCO takes far too much abuse. I don't think anyone this short of Abyss or Mick Foley has taken as much as him.
Maclin took the mic and demanded Scott D'Amore stay true to his word, that if Maclin defeated PCO, he would come out and strap the belt around him and shake Maclin's hand. Scott made his way to the ring, looking forlorn. He entered the ring and strapped the belt around his waist. He offered his hand but Maclin walked out. He said that whatever position he was in, Maclin was Scott's boss.
Scott watched him walked out but didn't realize Bully Ray entered the oither side of the ring and attacked D'Amore, lashing him with a belt. He leaned over to Maclin and said, "Get the table." Maclin agreed and brought it into the ring. Ray pulled out lighter fluid. Matthew Rehwoldt, who sides with the villains on commentary, hit the ring and told him this was going to far. Ray sprayed him with the lighter fluid and attacked him, laying him out and splraying him even more.
PCO returned to the ring as Rehwoldt was pulled from the ring. He attacked Ray and Maclin, but was smashed into a cinder block outside. The Motor City Machine Guns tried to make the save but were laid out and tossed. Bully used even more lighter fluid on the table as Maclin pulled Scott up. They lit the table on fire and powerbombed him through the table. Ray leaned down and said Scott was the person who signed him and he's never ever going leave Impact. He said he was taking Scott and the entire company down.
Ray raised Maclin's arm as they went off the air.
