When #1 Contender Kylie Rae no-showed Bound For Glory, Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo stepped up to keep the show going. The Virtuosa gave an open challenge to anyone in the knockouts division for her Knockouts Championship. She had no idea the risk she was taking, as the villainous Su Yung emerged to answer. After a full year under the alter ego of the cutesy-but-strange Susie, The Undead Bride made her presence known. Su Yung took advantage of a visibly shaken Deonna Purrazzo. Deonna Purrazzo recaptures the Knockouts Championship. ___________________ The following week, Deonna Purrazzo stormed into IMPACT! Wrestling executive Scott…

2020 has been an interesting year for IMPACT! Wrestling. At Hard to Kill in January, Tessa Blanchard became the first woman to hold the IMPACT World Championship, signalling a new dawn for the company. Then, in March, the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. For the rest of the year, IMPACT! Wrestling produced their shows from Skyway Studios with no live audience. Tessa Blanchard found herself stranded in Mexico, and IMPACT Wrestling stripped her of her title. Then, at Slammiversary, we saw the debut of The Good Brothers, along with the returns of Eric Young, Brian Myers, EC3, and the Motor City…

In addition, The North will defend the IMPACT World Tag Team Championship against The Good Brothers, Rich Swann will defend his IMPACT World Championship against Sami Callihan, and Deonna Purrazzo will face Su Yung in a…

Last week’s episode of IMPACT! Wrestling ended in tragedy, as a mystery assailant shot John E. Bravo at his wedding. The attack on John E.

Bravo berated his wedding party, followed by a recap of the wedding itself. After the video package, IMPACT! Wrestling executive Scott D’Amore informs Tommy Dreamer that Bravo is in a coma, but his condition has stabilized. Dreamer then takes charge of the investigation, claiming everyone is a suspect.…

Last week’s episode of IMPACT! Wrestling ended in tragedy, as John E. Bravo suffered a gunshot at his wedding. This week, we find out who the suspects are. Though the attack on John E. Bravo leaves a cloud over the show, there’s a lot of great wrestling action in store. Two champions have a trade of place as IMPACT! World Champion Rich Swann competes in tag team action, and IMPACT!
