#2 Former WWE star debuts on IMPACT Wrestling

Josh Alexander cut a promo on this week's IMPACT Wrestling stating how he wanted to get back on the path to regaining his World Championship. He stated that JONAH was an obstacle in his journey and reflected on his hard-fought victory at Hard To Kill.

As he was about to send out a challenge to Moose, former WWE superstar Charlie Haas made his IMPACT debut. Haas stated how he and Alexander share the same passion for wrestling and challenged the Walking Weapon to a match.

Alexander stated that while it would be an honor to face him, he is focused on winning the World Title first. It led to Haas striking him, leading to a pull-apart brawl following which Alexander accepted his challenge and the match was made official for next week.

#1 Title vs Title match on IMPACT Wrestling

After losing her Knockouts Championship match at Hard To Kill, Deonna Purrazzo had one more chance at becoming a double Champion as she faced the reigning ROH women's World Champion Rok-C. They put on a fantastic bout and Rok-C showed incredible resilience.

Towards the end of the match, Purrazzo locked in the Venus de Milo, forcing Rok-C to tap out. She retained her AAA Reina de Reinas Title and captured the ROH Women's World Championship to become a double titleholder once again.

Following the match, Maria Kanellis stepped into the ring and confronted The Virtuosa. The rest of the renegade ROH group showed up as well. Matthew Rehwoldt, Willie Mack, and Rich Swann came in for the rescue but ROH had the numbers advantage and stood tall to close this week's IMPACT Wrestling.
