Four-way no. 1 contender’s match finalized for Impact No Surrender

Posted on by Josh Nason

The final two spots in a four-way no. 1 contender’s match at next Friday’s Impact No Surrender are set.

On Thursday’s Impact on AXS, Heath and Steve Maclin both qualified, joining PCO and Brian Myers for the bout to determine the next challenger for the Impact World title.

Heath defeated Edwards while Maclin beat Rhino. Maclin has been in hot pursuit of his first World title shot and has not been shy about showing his frustration in not getting one.

In another new match, Joe Hendry will defend the Digital Media title against Moose for the second time. However, the rematch will be held under Dot Combat (anything goes) rules. These two did battle at January’s Hard to Kill with Hendry picking up the win.

Moose went looking for Hendry Thursday and smashed the window of what he thought was the champion’s car, only to find it was Santino Marella’s instead:

There will also be a live Busted Open Radio segment hosted by Dave LaGreca, Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer. Ray and Dreamer will compete in a Beat the Clock Challenge next Thursday with the winner getting to speak first at No Surrender.

Here’s the current card for the Friday, February 24th streaming special from Las Vegas, Nevada:

  • Impact World Champion Josh Alexander defends against Rich Swann
  • Knockouts Champion Mickie James defends against Masha Slamovich
  • Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Death Dollz defend against Hex
  • Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry defends against Moose in a Dot Combat match
  • No. 1 contender’s four-way: PCO vs. Brian Myers vs. Heath vs. Steve Maclin

  • Live Busted Open Radio segment with Dave LaGreca, Bully Ray & Tommy Dreamer

Posted on by Josh Nason

The first contender for new Impact Knockouts Champion Mickie James is official as she will defend against Masha Slamovich at No Surrender.

The Impact Plus streaming special takes place on Friday, February 24th in Las Vegas.

Slamovich won a four-way no. 1 contender’s match at last Friday’s Hard to Kill — the same show where James defeated recent Slamovich rival Jordynne Grace for the title.

On Thursday’s show, Slamovich came out at the end of James’ show opening promo and issued her a “death warrant” to make the match official. This will be their first-ever meeting.

Impact World Champion Josh Alexander will also defend his title on the show, but he won’t learn who his contender is until next Thursday which will feature the first-ever Golden Six Shooter match where six former World Champions will compete for the opportunity to face Alexander.

Moose, Eddie Edwards, Callihan, Rich Swann, Chris Sabin and Rhino will all vye for the shot.

Here’s the current lineup for No Surrender:

  • Knockouts Champion Mickie James defends against Masha Slamovich
  • Impact World Champion Josh Alexander defends against TBA

Alexander becomes number one contender to Impact X-Division title

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Josh Alexander is the new number one contender for the Impact X-Division championship.

He won a triple threat revolver match at tonight’s Impact No Surrender pay-per-view event to become the number one contender for the X-Division title. It was a gauntlet match where three men started and whenever someone was eliminated, another person would enter. The final three participants in the match were Trey Miguel, Ace Austin, and Alexander, with Alexander taking out Miguel, then Madman Fulton who was at ringside. He then submitted Austin for the win.

Later in the show, TJP successfully defended the  X-Division title against Rohit Raju. After the match, the announcers mentioned that the next title match would be TJP against Alexander.

Alexander had been the longtime tag team partner of Ethan Page. However, Page left Impact Wrestling in December, leaving him as a singles wrestler. Most recently, he teamed with Matt Cardona to defeat Austin & Fulton in a tag team match.
