Match

Edwards took the early advantage, and he tagged out to Tessa Blanchard. Alexander used his strength to manhandle Tessa. On Tessa’s third attempt, she finally knocked Alexander over the top rope. Tessa fell into the corner and Edwards tagged himself in and chopped both of the tag team champions in the corner. Edwards hit a suicide dive and Tessa flew off the top rope to the floor onto both members of the North as Impact went to commercial.

Back from the commercial, Tessa and Eddie had control over the North. It didn’t last very long though as The North took back over isolating Eddie Edwards. Tessa Blanchard came off the top rope with a cross body on both members of the north. She then hit a suicide dive on both members of the North and a cutter on Ethan Page for a near fall. Edwards hit Alexander with a blue thunder bomb and Tessa followed with a destroyer, but that only earned a two count.

Alexander caught Blanchard when she went for Magnum. They nearly put Tessa away, but Edwards broke up the pin. Tessa refused to tag out to Eddie Edwards and The North hit their finisher on Tessa and Josh Alexander pinned the World Champion.
