Hello and welcome to Impact Wrestling Results! Tonight looks like it’s going to be a fun one as we make the final stop before Victory Road.
We’ve got the popcorn so let’s dive in!
Before The Impact (BTI) – Ace Austin w/Chris Bey vs. Jason Hotch w/John Skyler
This will be a fun one to kick off the night, and ABC was easily the crowd favorite after Skyler’s opening commentary.
Ace went for a wrist lock to start, and Hotch reversed it as they traded holds. Hotch gained the early upper hand with a right and a hip toss, but Ace took him down with a trip and a kick to the back as he took over.

Hotch sent Ace to the apron, then took out Ace’s footing on the ropes to send him into the ropes ribs first to gain the advantage and he then locked in an abdominal stretch.
Ace fought out of it, but Hotch went for a couple of pin attempts to wear Ace down before sending Ace chest first into the corner.
Hotch locked in another abdominal stretch, but Ace managed to hip toss Hotch to break it, and then he fired off a series of kicks and a side Russian leg sweep followed by his Click! Leg drop.
Hotch used the ropes for a springboard backbreaker for a pair on pin attempts.
Ace countered an elbow off the top rope by getting his knees up and avoided a rolling neckbreaker. Ace followed it with a kick and the Fold for the pin while Bey kept Skyler from getting involved.
Deonna Purrazzo vs. Dani Luna
This should be a good match, though it feels more like a warm up for Purrazzo as she gets ready to face the returning Jordynne Grace at Victory Road.
Luna overpowered Purrazzo to start the match and backed her into a corner, and they traded holds on their second lockup.
Purrazzo rolled her up for a quick pin attempt and then went for a Fujiwara armbar, but Luna immediately grabbed the ropes to break the hold.

Luna nailed Purrazzo with a shoulder and fallaway slam followed by a sliding clothesline for a near pinfall. Luna hit two suplexes before Purrazzo blocked her attempt for a Three Amigos, and they took their fight to the apron.
After exchanging blows, Purrazzo hit a arm ringer onto the apron and then a backstabber in the ring for a near pinfall.
Luna fired off some rights since her left arm is injured and followed that with a dropkick. Luna hit a powerbomb and stack up for another near pinfall.
Purrazzo locked in a Fujiwara for the win after Luna was unable to reach the ropes.
