The final episode of IMPACT before Slammiversary concluded with Deonna Purrazzo putting her Knockouts World Championship on the line in an open challenge. Her opponent? Jody Threat.
The two showcased their confidence at the start before Threat took control. Purrazzo was able to turn things around with a Side Russian Legsweep and Fujiwara armbar, which weakened her challenger.
They each attempted their own finishers but were met with counters. Threat drove Purrazzo into the mat after breaking free from another armbar. The champ remained resilient, though, and trapped Threat in the Venus de Milo to retain.
As Purrazzo and Threat were celebrating, Gisele Shaw, Savannah Evans, and Jai Vidal attacked the two. This brought out The Death Dollz, followed by The Coven and eventually Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly. Trinity ran down to clear the ring and then came face to face with Purrazzo. When they both reached for the title, Deonna threw the first shot and referees had to break them up.
Below is the final advertised card for Slammiversary on Saturday:
- Knockouts World Championship: Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. Trinity
