Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace & Masha Slamovich Sign the Contract for Bound For Glory
IMPACT Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore facilitates the contract signing for the Knockouts World Championship match between Jordynne Grace and Masha Slamovich at Bound For Glory. The champion and challenger make their way to the ring and sit across from each other at the table. When asked to deliver a final address, Slamovich remains silent and signs the contract. Grace does have something to say, however, and tells Slamovich that while she may be undefeated, she’s not a two-time Knockouts World Champion, former Knockouts World Tag Team Champion and first-ever Digital Media Champion. That makes Grace the first Knockout ever to become a Triple Crown Champion. Grace says that Slamovich has never had the opportunity to learn from losing and at Bound For Glory, she’s going to teach her that difficult lesson. Slamovich utters “Masha’s going to kill you” in Russian before flipping the table on top of Grace. Slamovich Snowplows Grace through the table and stands tall to end the show.
The final IMPACT! before Bound For Glory goes off the air.
