Impact Report, 11/3/20

The show begins with a synopsis of the wedding of Bravo and Rosemary.  It features the the sudden anger and rude behavior exhibited by Bravo and him eventually being shot at the alter.  lol.  This is a story that still has much to be told.

Who shot Bravo?

Tommy and D’Amore discuss the well being of Bravo to start the show.  It is noted Bravo is in stable, but critical condition.  lol.  Dreamer puts on his best Sherlock Holmes outfit and begins his quest to find the gunman.

Match 1.  Deonna Purrazzo (With Kimber Lee) VS Impact Knockouts Champion, Su Yung

Yung will defend her championship in this return match from Bound For Glory.  This is a great match to start the show.

Purrazzo attacks Yung from behind to start the match, but Yung will have none of that.  Yung goes for the Panic Switch, but Deonna breaks free.  Yung flings Deonna several times across the ring by her hair.  Purrazzo reverses a 3rd attempt and takes Yung down and begins working on the arm.  She stomps Yungs elbow to the ground as the hand is bent backwards.  Yung hits a reverse kick and swinging head scissors off the top rope.

The two double close line each other.  The ref begins a 10 count.  They both get to their feet.  Yung locks on the mandible claw.  Purrazzo tosses in a chair.  Yung Smiles and grabs the chair from Purrazzo. Yung hits Kimber and Deonna with the chair and the ref calls for the bell.

The ref disqualifies Su Yung.

Winner by DQ,  Deonna Purrazzo

Rhino and Heath are in the negotiating room ready to sign Heath’s new deal.  D’Amore gives congrats to Rhino on his win at BFG.  D’Amore begins to question if Heath is healthy.  He says the contract will be ready for him to sign when Heath can get back in the ring and compete.  Heath leaves disgusted, because he knows he is hurt.   Heath says he will be back.

Barrister Evans comes in and says Deonna’s title shot was great, but not a total success for his client.  She won the rematch, but it was not fair. D’Amore agrees and says that Deonna will get another title shot at Turning Point.  The match will be a no DQ, Anything Goes Match… with Su Yung.  Barrister Evans begins back peddling and he leaves knowing Deonna will not want this type of rematch.

Eddie Edwards is the back with Rich Swann.  The two will team up against of Sami Callahan and Eric Young.  They start singing and amped for the main event.

Match 2.  Chris Bey VS Trey Miguel

This is an X Division contender match.  These two will put on a fast paced show for sure.

Bey starts with an arm twist.  Trey reverses and takes Bey to the ground.  Trey then stands out and runs up the ropes, still holding the arm and flips off the ropes, twisting Bey.  They then trade drop kicks and arm drags.  The two just go at it so fast it is impossible to call.  The moves are incredible between these two.  The two mix lucha and American High Flying styles so well.  They are so evenly matched.

Bey gouges the eyes of Trey.  This is the first slow down in the match.  Bey begins stomping and gloating.  Miguel reverse flips out of a waist lock, and double kicks Bey in the back.  He then hits a reverse 619 into a Colorful Combination.  (That is one of his move sets)

Trey climbs the ropes.  Bey crotches him on the top.  Bey tries for a suplex, but Trey sunset flips out, but Bey holds on to the ropes.  Trey steps back on the ground and kicks Bey.  Bey then kicks Trey while still on the ropes, but stays perched.  Trey stumbles to his feet and Bey flies off the ropes and hits a cutter for the win.  What a move.

Winner.  Chris Bey
