Result: Grace defeats Ryan with the Grace driver to retain the Impact Knockouts Championship.

Match: Madison Rayne brought out Lacey Ryan to challenge Jordynne Grace. Ryan and Grace started with a strong collar and elbow tie up that the referee had to break up. Grace used a headlock take down and a shoulder tackle to take Ryan down to the mat twice, but Ryan answered with a shoulder tackle of her own. When Ryan climbed to the top rope, Grace tossed her off and followed up with a clothesline for the near fall. Lacey Ryan secured an advantage with a slingshot elbow and a DDT, but couldn’t lock in a cross-arm breaker.

Grace tossed Ryan into the post and hit double knees and an elbow in the corner. After a snap mare, Grace hit a Vader Bomb for a two count. Ryan surprised Grace with two kicks and a running knee strike before again climbing to the top rope and again getting caught. After a muscle buster, Ryan again kicked out of the pinfall attempt. Ryan stood up from two powerslams and then hit a rolling senton and a frog splash for a near fall. Grace managed to hit the Grace Driver for the pinfall victory.
