Three titles change hands at Impact Sacrifice

Three championships changed hands at Saturday’s Impact Sacrifice event. 

Tasha Steelz defeated Mickie James to become the new Impact Knockouts World Champion, pinning James after hitting a cutter. 

Steelz attacked James before the match began, then Chelsea Green’s presence at ringside distracted James throughout the contest, as Steelz’s second, Savannah Evans, attacked Green, and the combination of factors led to the title change. 

Later in the show, Violent By Design’s Joe Doering and Eric Young won the Impact Wrestling World Tag Team titles, defeating The Good Brothers. Deaner was at ringside as part of the Violent By Design trio, who observe the Freebird Rules. 

Violent By Design have now begun their second reign with the Impact Tag titles, while The Good Brothers saw their second reign with the titles come to an end. 

In the night’s first title change, The Influence’s Madison Rayne and Tenille Dashwood defeated The IInspiration’s Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay to capture the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championship. 

Rayne has now held the Knockouts Tag titles on three separate occasions with different partners.
