Hello and welcome to Impact Wrestling Results!
Tonight looks like it’s going to be a fun one with some good looking matches and a triple threat for te Digital Media Championship.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
Before The Impact (BTI) – Gisele Shaw w/Jai Videl, Savannah Evans vs. Heather Reckless
This should be a fun one to get us ready for tonight’s show as Reckless has the home town advantage, but that’s never bothered Shaw before.
Reckless got in her face early on, and nailed Shaw with a right after Shaw shoved her down.
After Reckless avoided Shaw’s first couple of clotheslines attempt, Reckless was caught and throw into a corner for a couple of clubbing blows and then she spun Reckless around by her head before throwing her across the ring.
Reckless caught her with a head scissors that sent her to the floor and Shaw took a minute to regroup.

Back in the ring, Shaw caught her crossbody and slammed her down for a pin attempt.
Shaw kicked Reckless to the floor where Evans held her for Vidal, but Reckless got loose and Vidal kick Evans and ate a clothesline by Reckless.
When she got into the ring, Shaw hit a Pump Kick for a pin attempt, but she pulled Reckless up at the last second to inflict more punishment.
Reckless fought back with some rights and lefts, but Shaw caught her off the rope with a sidewalk slam for a near pinfall.
Reckless caught Shaw with a boot and fired off a series of shots before going for a cutter Shaw caught and slammed her, then hit a backbreaker and flatliner combination for a pin but she pulled Reckless up once more.
Shaw hit a twisting neckbreaker and a running knee for the win.

Trinity opened the show by coming to the ring to celebrate winning the Knockouts World Championship. She’s come full circle since her Impact Wrestling debut in Chicago.
She talked about how Chicago has a special place in her heart after debuting there, and how not too long ago she was at her lowest and contemplated giving up wrestling.
She went from her lowest to her highest when she debuted in Impact, and that night she said she’d become the Knockouts champion and the fans chanted “Yes you did.”

Deonna Purrazzo’s music played and interrupted her celebration.
Purrazzo said if they’re reliving her debut it’s only fitting she interrupts her and then she congratulated Trinity on beating her.
She knows the position Trinity is in because she did it too, then cited how the difference between them is she’s not a quitter and the fans chanted “you tapped out.”
Trinity pointed out she quit in their match, and Purrazzo told her no one beats her twice and Trinity wanted to bet her she could, and that brought out the Coven.
King wasted no time in calling them out for starting the show and said no one wants to hear Trinity talk or see Purrazzo’s face as they entered the ring.
King asked her who her opponent was that night and Wilde pointed out it was her. King called Trinity lucky that night, and if things had been a little different they’d have a different Knockouts champion.
Wilde took over the mic and she hates that the Coven was beaten by Trinity and Trinity called her out.
So, Wilde threw tarot cards in Trinity’s face and they went after Trinity and Purrazzo eventually got into it as security came out to break them up.
Santino Marella came out and made a match and it’s happening next.
