In the main event of Against All Odds, Alex Shelley realized his dream over 20 years in the making when he dethroned Steve Maclin to become IMPACT World Champion for the very first time. But there’s no rest for the weary as we learned just one week later on IMPACT! that Maclin would receive his contractually-obligated rematch on Friday, June 30th at the IMPACT Down Under Tour in Australia. Maclin is incensed on reclaiming the IMPACT World Title which begs the question, does Shelley have what it takes to beat him not once but twice? With Shelley currently scheduled to defend against #1 Contender Nick Aldis at Slammiversary, this match has the potential to shake up that card.
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.
