We are ten days away as TNA sets its sights towards Rebellion. This week on TNA Impact! features a contract signing between Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace and Steph De Lander, as they are set to face for the title at the pay-per-view.
Before the contract signing, we see Ash By Elegance backstage confronting Director of Authority Santino Marella, as George Iceman vouches for her opportunity at the Knockouts title.
The contract signing gets underway as De Lander makes her way to the ring along with Matt Cardona, and the Juggernaut arrives shortly after. Cardona immediately touts De Lander as the “Queen of the Deathmatch,” “the Powerhouse Predator,” and the “next Knockouts Champion.”
Grace isn’t impressed, stating that she’s earned every one of her accolades and history-making moments. De Lander responds by saying that Grace’s head might not be in the game as she’s too focused on bodybuilding and her Royal Rumble appearance. But, Grace’s top priority is to represent TNA as its Knockouts champion. Whether she beats her, Cardona, or Cardona’s wife, she states she’ll retain her title and beat De Lander and her “bitch” all over again.
The two go for a handshake, but the respect is cut short and chaos erupts. Unfortunately for Grace, Cardona gets involved and De Lander chokeslams Grace through the table.
Shortly, we see Masha Slamovich confronted by Alisha Edwards and The System trying to convince her again to become tag team partners. Edwards doesn’t understand a word she says, but seems hopeful they can become contenders for the tag titles.
Later on in the night, we see Decay approach Marella as they invoke their rematch clause for the Knockouts World tag team championships. Marella makes the match official, and Spitfire now has challengers at Countdown to Rebellion.
What did you think of the contract signing? Will Edwards and Slamovich come to an agreement? Let us know what you thought of tonight’s TNA Impact!
