#4 Ace Austin vs TJP for the IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Championship - Sacrifice 2021

When it comes to IMPACT Wrestling, their strength resides in every single division containing several contenders who could challenge for the titles at any moment. For the world title there's Moose, Willie Mack, Eddie Edwards, Eric Young, Rich Swann, and Sami Calllihan. The Knockouts have Jordynne Grace, Rosemary, Havok, Kiera Hogan, Tasha Steelz, and Tenille Dashwood.

The X-Division might be the most loaded that IMPACT Wrestling has, though. Chris Bey, Rohit Raju, Petey Williams, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Trey Miguel and current champion Josh Alexander. Add to all that the possibilities of including Jake Something and Black Taurus and the possibilities for meaningful title matches feel limitless.

At IMPACT Wrestling Sacrifice, TJP put the X-Division Championship on the line against Ace Austin. Austin and TJP are just phenomenal competitors, and we got to see them bring the best out of each other on this night. TJP had more trouble than usual on this occasion, as Madman Fulton was there to watch Austin's back.

While TJP is a prized technician, these two focused on the high flying game. Austin landed on top of TJP with a Fosbury Flop and followed with a double springboard roundhouse. TJP responded with a springboard DDT and a triangle dropkick.

It was a wild twelve minutes, ending with Austin knocking the champ off the top before he could hit the Mamba Splash. Austin planted him with a double stomp facebuster before finishing the night with The Fold, earning him his second reign as IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion.


#3 Fire 'N Flava vs Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering for the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Titles - Under Siege 2021

It would be criminal to do a list regarding IMPACT Wrestling and their best matches without talking about Fire 'N Flava. The now two-time Knockouts Tag Team Champions have everything you need to be major players in professional wrestling. Both of them. Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz are money, plain and simple.

Their opponents this time around? One of IMPACT Wrestling's greatest weapons, Jordynne Grace, and a fresh face to the company Rachael Ellering. At Rebellion, Ellering's debut match shocked Fire 'N Flava, as they didn't know exactly what to expect from the duo. There was no tape to study. There was no way to play the mind game going into the pay-per-view.

At Under Siege, though, it was very different. Hogan and Steelz managed to convince Jordynne Grace that she was the weak link in the team, as she'd tried to take the belts before with the legendary Jazz. Grace couldn't get those comments out of her head, leading to Fire 'N Flava with a prime target - Grace's ego.

While on paper it was about strength vs speed, Fire 'N Flava were just smarter than their opponents, and have been two steps ahead of any team they've faced in 2021. Ellering and Grace had great showings of their power.

Hogan managed to take Ellering to the floor with Sliced Bread No. 2, leaving Grace in the ring one-on-one with Steelz. It was time for Grace to prove herself. She went for the Grace Driver...but failed to connect, allowing Steelz to drop her long enough to hit a frog splash for the win.

Grace and Ellering have been struggling to work together ever since, while Hogan and Steelz continued their dominance in the IMPACT Wrestling tag division.
