Greetings and salutations! We are just a few weeks away from the next Impact Wrestling Impact Plus Special. We learned last week that Deonna Purrazzo will challenge Trinity for the Knockouts title. I hope to find out how Trinity reacted to that news. We also have the 4-team tournament to crown number one contender for the Tag-Team Championships. All this and more so without further ado, let’s get to the show!
Trinity Speaks…
The show kicks off with Trinity in the ring. She says that Chicago will always be special to her since that’s where she made her Impact debut. Trinity said she promised she’d be Knockouts champion when she came back to Chicago, and she is! (Knockouts Champion)
Deonna Purrazzo is out she joins Trinity in the ring. She said if they are recreating her debut then its only right that she come out. She congratulates Trinity on winning but the difference is that she isn’t a quitter. Purrazzo then said that no one can beat her twice.
The Coven is out and the two in the ring were not impressed. KiLynn King told Trinity that she got lucky om her debut match against her, but she was lucky. Wilde gives the tarot cards and all 4 women go at it. Santino Marella is out and calls on security to break the fight up. Santino makes the match with the 4, Purrazzo demands it starts now…
