IMPACT Wrestling on AXS TV: Results, Highlights and Grades for Nov. 19

Jordynne Grace vs. John E. Bravo and Taya Valkyrie

Taya Valkyrie and Jordynne Grace start this off, but the Knockouts Champion immediately tags to her manager. John E. Bravo pokes Jordynne in the chest, but Big Mama Pump runs right at Taya, knocking her off the apron. Jordynne sends Bravo to the outside before hitting a suicide dive on him.

Back in the ring, she stomps out Bravo in the chest before hitting a series of forearms. Taya tries to cause a distraction by sweeping Jordynne’s leg from the outside, but Jordynne pulls Taya by her hair onto the apron, but that’s enough for Bravo to get the jump on her with Taya.

Bravo helps Taya hit a series of assisted chops before they whip Grace into the corner for back to back clotheslines. They attempt it once more, but Grace fights back. She tosses Taya into Bravo (putting him in a DDT position), then dropkicks Taya, forcing her to DDT her own manager.

Grace starts kicking Bravo in the face repeatedly before executing a senton. Bravo begs for the tag, but Taya (out of fear) drops from the apron and makes her way to the back with her title. Bravo offers his pet, plush dog as a peace offering, but Grace kicks the dog out the ring and into the crowd. Bravo hits Grace from behind, but Grace no sells it and goes postal on the manager. She drives him into the ring post, then an Elijah Express (look it up), uppercut, then a Vader Bomb for the win.

Winner: Jordynne Grace

Grade: B

This was hella (as the kids say) entertaining. Not a masterclass of in-ring wrestling, but it was never supposed to be. Good way to progress the feud between Taya and Grace as we ease our way closer towards an actual one on one title match.

Backstage, Desi Hit Squad get berated by their manager, Gama, for once again losing earlier tonight. Gama threatens to leave them and go back to India and storms out.

Angered, they bully Fallah Bahh while on his lunch break and slap the food out his hand. This causes a fight and, obviously, two on one is two much, even for the big man, who gets a production box tossed into him, sending him back first into the wall. While Fallah is passed out, they order him for when he wakes up to tell the locker room that The Desi Hit Squad are not losers.

Back from commercial, RVD has an “important update.” He says while he promised last week he and Katie Forbes would return to IMPACT tonight, he changed his mind because of their party, but because everyone in the locker room does all of his moves anyway, no one will notice he’s gone.

Then, a backstage segment with “Suzie,” who runs into the Sinister Minister himself, Father James Mitchell. Mitchell “introduces” himself to the former Su Yung, asking what a nice girl like her is doing there. She doesn’t know, but understands she’s drawn to IMPACT for some reason.

He calls the locker room “a shark tank,” so he offers protection for her to take her under his wing. She agrees to follow him outside to his Cadillac. Suzie makes her way out, but suddenly, while Suzie’s gone, Rosemary appears behind Mitchell, who says she knows that Mitchell is trying to suppress what’s left of The Undead Bride. But their father (Satan) wouldn’t like that.

Instead, Rosemary wants to re-release that Undead Bride onto the world so she can realize her full potential. Mitchell takes the warning in stride.

Backstage, a signature Rascalz promo that gets interrupted by Trey’s mom. Trey reminds his mom that “no girls allowed in the treehouse,” but Mama Trey knows exactly what they’re doing. She’s concerned about his wrestling after seeing them get attacked earlier. She promises to make an appearance herself in New York.
