En route to her scheduled Knockouts World Title defense against Trinity at Slammiversary, Deonna Purrazzo will renew hostilities with longtime rival Gisele Shaw on Saturday, July 1st at the IMPACT Down Under Tour in Australia. At Against All Odds, Purrazzo joined forces with Trinity in a winning effort over Shaw and her head of security, Savannah Evans. However, Shaw’s impressive performance in that match has earned her a crack at the title. While Purrazzo has now held the Knockouts World Title for more than 500 cumulative days, we know that Shaw will stop at nothing to claim the spotlight for herself. If Shaw is able to dethrone Purrazzo, the match at Slammiversary will become a three-way with Shaw joining the fray.
The action continues on July 1st as champions collide in a star-studded bout with the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles on the line. It was back in March when ABC triumphed over the Motor City Machine Guns to become the new IMPACT World Tag Team Champions. Just a few months later, Alex Shelley is now the IMPACT World Champion and Chris Sabin, the X-Division Champion. The Guns will have an opportunity to add even more gold to their collection as they challenge ABC in a highly-anticipated rematch.
On July 1st, there’s no rest for the weary as Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry will put his title on the line against Moose just 24 hours after successfully defending vs Eddie Edwards. Moose has had issues with Hendry in the past and if one thing is certain, the action will be as physical as ever in this championship showdown.
Recently on IMPACT!, Steve Maclin and Bully Ray toppled Frankie Kazarian and Eddie Edwards in tag team action. While Kazarian was unable to form a winning strategy with Edwards, he will have an opportunity to even the score when he battles Maclin in singles competition on July 1st. Maclin could be the new IMPACT World Champion coming into this match as he receives his contractually-obligated rematch against Alex Shelley on night one of the Down Under Tour. Meanwhile, Kazarian could also be holding gold as he battles Chris Sabin and Robbie Eagles for the X-Division Title.
Australia’s own Steph De Lander locks up with Killer Kelly on July 1st. De Lander competed for IMPACT back in January of this year and is looking to make a statement at the expense of her opponent. Kelly has proven that she’s willing to sacrifice it all in order to obtain victory, but will it be enough to overcome the powerhouse in her home country?
It’s a three-way match of epic proportions as Brian Myers, Adam Brooks and Robbie Eagles lock horns on July 1st.
After failing to capture the Digital Media Title from Joe Hendry, Eddie Edwards looks to bounce back when he battles Slex on July 1st.
The Natural Classics take to the ring for tag team action on July 1st. Opposing them will be the VeloCities as the two duos vie for the all-important victory.
