Hello and welcome to Impact Wrestling Results! Tonight looks like a stacked card with plenty of good looking matches and backstage antics to keep us entertained.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
Before The Impact (BTI) – Champagne Singh w/Shera vs. Kevin Knight
Knight and Singh started it off by trading arm holds before Knight hit a knee on Singh’s left arm and looked to continued working it over before switching to a head lock.
Singh tried to claim Knight pulled his hair and then tried to pay off the ref, who told him to shove it and that he has no hair.
Knight turned it up and went for a springboard crossbody, and Singh caught him with a shoulder, and then a body to stop Knight’s next attempt to gain the advantage.
