Impact Crowns Inaugural Knockouts Television Champion

Overview

• The 16-woman tournament concluded at Impact’s live show in Brampton with the final between M by Elegance and Jada Stone and an inaugural Knockouts Television Champion being crowned.
• M by Elegance entered the final as a two-time Knockouts tag champion with ringside backing from the ‘Elegance Brand’ while Jada Stone was presented as a rising singles prospect.
• The episode doubled as Lockdown fallout and continued Impact’s push toward Bound For Glory, advancing a major world-title program that includes Leon Slater cashing Option C for a shot at Nic Nemeth’s world title.
• Lockdown’s recent reshuffle left the Nemeths holding the tag titles, Mustafa Ali as International Champion, and the X Division title vacant, which has shaped booking decisions on weekly Impact.
• The new Knockouts Television belt is meant to give more regular storyline opportunities on TV for female wrestlers and raise the short-term stakes for the division as Impact builds to its October pay-per-view.
