The last IMPACT before Multiverse United 2 saw Deonna Purrazzo go one-on-one with KiLynn King in the show’s opener.
The bout showcased Purrazzo’s technical skills against King’s strength while Taylor Wilde largely stayed out of it. King nearly won the bout with a Gotch-style neutralizer. But when she went for King’s Gambit, Purrazzo escaped and locked in the Fujiwara armbar for a third time. Purrazzo switched it to Venus de Milo to officially score the victory.
It was officially confirmed that Giulia will defend the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship against Purrazzo, Gisele Shaw, and Momo Kohgo in a four-way this Sunday in Philly.
We also saw a three-way bout as Killer Kelly battled Savannah Evans and Jessicka. The bout kicked off with Jessicka and Evans having a staredown while Kelly tried to get involved. The tag champ was finally able to intervene with a double crossbody off the top rope. From there, all three women slammed each other around until Kelly planted Evans onto Jessicka with the DVD and pinned Jessicka for the win ahead of Emergence.
Next week on the Emergence go-home show, Knockouts World Champion Trinity battles Jody Threat in a non-title bout.
