IMPACT’s big summer event Slammiversary takes place tonight July 15. There are three matches set involving the Knockouts as follows –
Jody Threat and Death Dollz vs. Savannah Evans, Gisele Shaw, and Jai Vidal – Preshow
The Coven (c) vs. Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly – Knockouts World Tag Team Titles
Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. Trinity – Knockouts World Title
Below are the predictions from the Diva Dirt staff-
Jody Threat and Death Dollz vs. Savannah Evans, Gisele Shaw, and Jai Vidal – Preshow
COLBY: I could get used to Gisele Shaw being in everyone’s business. After attempting to insert herself into the Knockouts title picture, she defeated Courtney Rush to kickstart this new tag feud. Jody Threat and Jai Vidal are now involved to make this a six-person tag bout that is sure to be entertaining bell to bell. Logic says Threat and The Death Dollz are probably going over, but I’m going with Shaw’s team as I want to see her and Savannah go after the tag team titles.
WINNERS: Gisele Shaw, Savannah Evans & Jai Vidal
GARY: Shaw and Co are definitely the ones I would like to see win this match, I feel they need it just a little bit more but I just don’t see it happening! Dollz and Threat will get the victory, most likely with Jai Vidal eating the pin at the hands of Threat to keep her momentum going.
WINNERS: Jody Threat and Death Dollz
NICK: Generally in these instances I feel that Shaw and Co always tend to lose. So I will keep with that and say that Jody and Death Dollz will win. But a win for Shaw and Co wouldn’t hurt my feelings.
WINNERS: Jody Threat and Death Dollz
The Coven (c) vs. Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly – Knockouts World Tag Team Titles
COLBY: When Masha and Kelly were feuding prior to Slammiversary, I told a friend that I wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up as tag team partners, especially because The Coven was lacking competition. Here we are! They’ve executed it well thus far with the new partners getting a little… kinky. The Coven have been fine as champions and I would like to see them have a longer reign with more competition. However, it’s hard to imagine Masha and Kelly losing here.
WINNERS: Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly
GARY: I think back to The Coven’s formation and the debut of KiLynn King against Killer Kelly who never really got her chance at revenge until now. The Coven have been fantastic champions but I can see this going to the new pairing of enemies turned allies as we crown new tag team champions! It’s the perfect revenge and a nice full circle moment for Kelly.
WINNERS: Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly
NICK: The KO tag division really needs more teams and I think throwing Masha and Kelly together (even tho I like them together) won’t solve the holes. However, I think it is time to move on from The Coven holding the gold and they will end up going back to chasing the gold.
WINNERS: Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly
Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. Trinity – Knockouts World Title
COLBY: It should be the main event, and we’ll see if that happens. If so, it would be the third Knockouts PPV main event in a row! Trinity and Deonna have done an excellent job of making this an enticing babyface vs. babyface program. I feel like it’s hard to predict in a way, yet there’s an obvious chance here for Trinity to prove herself to the naysayers. Purrazzo was granted a do-over three years ago when she quickly won the title. Now it’s time to pass the torch in a sense.
WINNER: Trinity
GARY: Biggest event of the year for Impact, they are the Main Event, the stage is perfectly set for Trinity to climb atop the division as the new Knockouts Champion… which is why I hope it doesn’t happen yet. Stick with me for a moment, Trinity WILL be Knockouts Champion, it’s only a matter of time and this is arguably the perfect time to do it on such a grand stage but I’d rather Trinity fall short here, take her first loss in Impact (perhaps due to the interference of a returning wrestler?) I don’t want to fantasy book too much but I’d like something shocking to happen tonight and if Trinity wins, I’m not sure who she moves on to yet. My pick is Purrazzo but like many of you, I will be ecstatic if Trinity wins.
WINNER: Deonna Purrazzo
NICK: I don’t understand the people say it is “too soon” for Trinity to win the gold and in the same breath says her time with the company has been boring. Like what do y’all want? Anyway, Trinity winning here is a no brainer. She would be winning and defeating a 3 time champion. If that doesn’t put her over what will?
WINNER: Trinity
Results from Slammiversary will be up after the show tonight.
