X-Division, Knockouts title matches set for Impact Under Siege
The final pieces of the Impact Under Siege lineup puzzle were put into place Thursday as both the X-Division and Knockouts title matches were finalized for Saturday’s show in addition to a few other matches.
Havok defeated Rosemary to open the show, earning a shot at Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo Saturday. Afterward, the champion and her crew came out to attack the challenger but Purrazzo got a piledriver for her trouble. Havok is a former Knockouts Champion, holding the title for just a few days in 2014.
In the other title match that was finalized Thursday, X-Division Champion Josh Alexander will face New Japan’s El Phantasmo after ELP survived a six-way scramble that involved Petey Williams, Ace Austin, Rohit Raju, TJP and Acey Romero. Alexander will be looking for his second defense of the title while ELP will be looking for his first taste of Impact gold.
Thursday’s show also saw two other matches made: a four-way for a shot at the Impact Tag Team titles featuring TJP and Petey Williams vs. Ace Austin and Madman Fulton vs. XXXL vs. Rohit Raju and Shera; and Kimber Lee and Susan vs. Tenille Dashwood and Taylor Wilde.
