We look back on last week, with Alisha Edwards’ triumph in the 10 Knockouts Battle Royal as the focal points and the six-man main event.

Deonna Purrazzo vs. Daniel Luna
Purrazzo starts best with his technical moves to the arms, both standing in the ring and on the canvas. The two take the measurements at ringside and Deonna takes advantage and chains up a brutal Facebuster against the apron. Already on the canvas, Luna manages to overpower Deonna with a few hard punches but The Virtuosa takes the fight back to the canvas and applies the Armbar to win via submission.

Winner: Deonna Purrazzo.

At an unknown location, Crazzy Steve talks about failure and being rejected for not being “in good shape”. He assures that he is not crazy and that he is aware of his actions, so he will show Black Taurus what he is made of to get in his way. He resents Rosemary and Jessicka for leaving him, so in Victory Road he will behead Decay and they will all be his enemies.

Behind the scenes, Tommy Dreamer explains that every action has its reaction so now, after Kenny King’s remarks, he will put his career on the line to prove that this business is his life. He remembers his parents and how they introduced him to this world for what it will do for them and their children. Heath appears and interrupts his promo but he tells him he loves him and tries to convince him that it’s not a good idea to expose himself like this with someone like King and blurts out that it’s not the case. Dreamer assures him that if this is the end, there will be another chapter for him.

Champagne Singh and Shera vs. BIJOU (Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura)
Hendry whips Singh against the canvas repeatedly and relieves with Yuya. The Japanese chained elbows to the canvas but Singh stopped him with a shot against the ropes. Shera comes in and attacks him with a boot then does a Powerslam. Singh’s brutal flatliner to the center of the ring but Yuya controls the count well. He tags Hendry and Hendry whips them both but resists Shera’s Slam for a Vertical Suplex. Shera clothesline. Yuya comes in to defend him and Singh is distracted by Yuya. Combined finisher of the two and count of three.

Winners: BIJOU.

Behind the scenes, Maclin is obsessed with Alexander but Ray is more concerned with the PCO as he is immortal. He did everything to take care of him but it was impossible, so they have to focus on him before everyone else. Josh is easy but he’s a monster. Ray tells him to play his games but Maclin wants to do it his way.

Backstage with Gia Miller, Alexander isn’t worried about Maclin as they have things to sort out and will do so tonight and tomorrow at Victory Road. He feels familiar with both of them and with the help of the PCO it will be very painful for them.

SUBCULTURE (Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster) vs. Rich Swann and Sami Callihan
The British put up a good fight, with lots of movement, but they couldn’t do it with the speed of Swann and the ferocity of Callihan, which stinged Morgan Webster’s eyes. They both take out Callihan and Flash against Swann and Sami at ringside. SUBCULTURE controls the situation but Sami arrives and destroys the two before connecting a DDT to Andrews. Double Falcon Arrow to Sami but resists the three count. Lariat at Andrews but he reverses with a slumdog millionaire. Swann stops Andrews’ dropkicks.

Rascalz does a promo against Motor City Machine Guns and their zero chances on Victory Road, but The Good Hands interrupts them and assures them that they deserve a chance so maybe after Victory Road they’ll give it to them.

Lio Rush vs. Kevin Knight
Rush runs away from Knight and taunts him from ringside but as soon as he gets in the ring he gets some quick moves and falls to the canvas but resists on the two count.

Santino Marella, in the center of the ring, presents the signing of the contract for the Knockout World Championship. Alisha Edwards comes out first, accompanied by her husband Eddie. Trinity walks out alone, with her title at her waist. Alisha laughs at Marella’s accent but he laughs it off. She also makes fun of the Canadian accent but doesn’t care if she doesn’t understand them because what she says matters, especially to Trinity. He assures her that she was in IMPACT for a long time and knows who should be champion. She beat nine knockouts to get there and she’ll beat her for the world championship, so she’s looking at the new champion. Alisha signs and hands over the contract to Marella.
