Johnny Swinger's next choice? It was IMPACT Wrestling veteran SuperMex! Hernandez said he'd be happy to tag with Swinger and Chris Bey tonight...if Swinger could beat him in an arm-wrestling contest. Clearly, Swinger didn't win. Hernandez did have a consolation prize for him, though, a Rhino Microbrawler!
Swinger ran into Taya Valkyrie as he was leaving, and offered her an opportunity to be the "first woman to ever wrestle a man." Valkyrie outright declined him before running off to look for John E. Bravo, someone Swinger also wanted to use for a partner.
Ken Shamrock came down to the ring for his match but was attacked by The North. Shamrock was able to quell the numbers advantage for a while but was eventually trapped in an ankle lock by Josh Alexander. The IMPACT World Tag Team Champions tore Shamrock apart.
Taya Valkyrie w/John E. Bravo vs Susie on IMPACT Wrestling
Taya Valkyrie bullied Susie a bit while dropping her to the mat, calling her a little girl. Susie nearly caught her with a schoolboy and took Valkyrie down with a series of snapmares. A running bulldog gave Susie a two-count.
Valkyrie avoided a splash in the corner, sending Susie across the ring with a German suplex. Bravo choked out Susie while the former Knockouts Champion distracted the ref. Valkyrie continued to pelt Susie with right hands.
Susie crawled toward the rope while in a modified STF. She just barely made it there, leading to Valkyrie getting pretty heated. Susie blocked an attack in the corner, rocking Valkyrie with a boot. A spinning back kick and headscissor into the corner nearly knocked Valkyrie out. She began to build up momentum before getting taken out with a flying clothesline. Susie kicked out at two on IMPACT Wrestling.
Valkyrie set Susie up for her running knee strike, but missed. Susie rocked her with palm strikes and took her to the mat with a Thesz press. A jackknife cover earned Susie a close call. Valkyrie responded, bouncing Susie's face off the mat with a leg trapped curb stomp. Still, Susie kicked out.
Susie managed to escape the Road to Valhalla for another roll-up. However, Valkyrie kicked out, and ultimately planted Susie with the Road to Valhalla for the win on IMPACT Wrestling.
Results: Taya Valkyrie defeated Susie via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: B+
Valkyrie continued to trash Susie, claiming it was embarrassing to fight her like she did tonight. She was cut off by Smiling Kylie Rae, who rocked Taya with a pinpoint superkick on IMPACT Wrestling.
Backstage, Jimmy Jacobs attempted to get an interview with Ace Austin. He was met at the door by Madman Fulton. Austin followed. Jacobs wanted to know what Fulton thought about this alliance with Austin. The Ace of IMPACT Wrestling said it wasn't about what Fulton thought, but what about he's capable of.
