We’re less than a month out from TNA Rebellion and we now know who will challenge Jordynne Grace for the TNA Knockouts World Championship.
The March 28 IMPACT opened with the first Knockouts 8-4-1 match. It started out with Havok, Masha Slamovich, Jody Threat, and Alisha Edwards taking on the team of Rosemary, Xia Brookside, Dani Luna, and a returning Steph De Lander.
De Lander ended up filling in for Ash By Elegance, who had to sit out because of her recent lip filler. Nevertheless, Ash sat at ringside to watch the action as SDL and Havok started it off with a staredown.
Alisha was an early target by the opposing team until Masha and Luna clashed, followed by Threat and Xia. Masha and Jody argued over who would be legal before Xia nearly put Masha away. The action broke down between everyone until it came down to Luna and Masha again. In the end, Luna caught Masha in a roll-up to win it for her team.
From there, it became a four-way with Rosemary vs. Xia Brookside vs. Dani Luna vs. Steph De Lander. Masha decided to take out Luna because of the loss. Rosemary and Xia then targeted Steph until Xia was bumped off the apron onto Ash. Ash was so furious because of the physicality that she tossed Xia into the ring post only for the ref to eject her.
Back inside, Rosemary fired up but a returning Matt Cardona ran in and hit her with Radio Silence. This allowed De Lander to hit Rosemary with TKO for the win.
As a result, Steph De Lander will now challenge Jordynne Grace on April 20 in Las Vegas.
It was also announced that Ash By Elegance will take on Xia Brookside next week.
