The Knockouts World Championship match is now confirmed for Hard to Kill.
The December 1 episode of IMPACT was headlined by a highly anticipated rematch pitting Mickie James against former rival Deonna Purrazzo. Like their previous matches, Hardcore Country and The Virtuosa held nothing back as both women had their own vendetta. Purrazzo nearly had it with her armbar, but Mickie rolled her up and used the tights to secure the three-count.
Post-match, Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace made her way down and made it simple: James accomplished what she set out to do, and Grace defeated Masha Slamovich twice. Grace laid down the challenge for Hard to Kill, and James accepted with a firm handshake. Their first-time-ever clash will be a Title vs. Career match on Friday, January 13.
Elsewhere on the show, Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans argued backstage about how they lost the tag title match at Over Drive when Jessicka pinned Steelz. Steelz challenged Evans to take on Taya Valkyrie next week, and it has been confirmed.
