Mickie James Opens Up About Heartbreaking End To Reign As IMPACT Knockouts World Champion

Mickie James, a seasoned professional wrestler and the reigning IMPACT Knockouts World Champion, recently opened up about her bittersweet experience of relinquishing her coveted title. After successfully defending her championship belt against Jordynne Grace in a thrilling Title vs. Career match at IMPACT Rebellion 2023, James had continued to reign supreme over the women's division with her unparalleled skill and tenacity. ## However, her illustrious reign was cut short when an unfortunate injury befell her, forcing her to withdraw from her scheduled title defense at IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United. Upon further diagnosis, James was found to have suffered a broken rib, and it was with a heavy heart that she made the difficult decision to relinquish her championship. As a result, Deonna Purrazzo went on to claim the coveted title by defeating Grace at IMPACT Rebellion. ## During her appearance on Busted Open Radio, James poured her heart out about the heart-wrenching experience of letting go of the championship she had worked so hard to win and defend. Her words echoed the emotions of countless fans who had witnessed her remarkable journey and were left in awe of her unwavering passion and dedication to the sport. ## "It is heartbreaking. It’s not how I wanted this whole thing to end, for sure. I’m so grateful for everything and these matches I’ve had. It’s been some of my best stuff ever. I’ve had so much fun and I really tested myself and had some of the best matches I think I’ve ever had. The women now are incredible, and that’s just it. I don’t know. I’m a bit heartbroken and sad, but it’s okay. I’m so grateful for my career," James said. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Deonna Purrazzo Captures IMPACT Knockouts Championship For The Third Time At IMPACT Rebellion

Deonna Purrazzo has once again claimed the title of IMPACT Knockouts Champion, emerging victorious in a thrilling main event at IMPACT Rebellion against Jordynne Grace. ## Purrazzo sealed her win with her signature move, the Queen's Gambit, after a back-and-forth battle with Grace, who showed incredible resilience. The two competitors shared a moment of mutual respect, embracing after the hard-fought match. ## However, on the latest episode of IMPACT, Mickie James was forced to relinquish the IMPACT Knockouts Championship due to a rib injury. James was originally scheduled to face Jordynne Grace at IMPACT Sacrifice, but her injury prevented her from competing. ## As a result, Grace advanced to IMPACT Rebellion to face Purrazzo, who had earned her spot in a singles bout against Masha Slamovich, Gisele Shaw, and Miyu Yamashita at IMPACT x NJPW Multiverse United. If James had been cleared to compete, the match at IMPACT Rebellion would have been a triple threat showdown. ## This marks Purrazzo's third reign as the esteemed IMPACT Knockouts Champion, a testament to her exceptional skill and determination in the ring. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

PCO Defeats Eddie Edwards In Brutal Last Rites Match At IMPACT Rebellion

In a fierce rivalry that had been brewing for months, former Honor No More stablemates PCO and Eddie Edwards clashed in a brutal Last Rites Match at IMPACT Rebellion. Edwards had gone to extreme lengths, even burying PCO alive, but "The French Frankenstein" proved his resilience by returning and seeking revenge. ## PCO wasted no time as he launched himself onto Edwards with a dive at ringside. However, during the match, PCO appeared to dislocate his shoulder, adding to the intensity of the battle. Despite the setback, both men were unwavering in their determination to put their opponent in the casket. ## PCO delivered a punishing chokeslam to Edwards onto the ramp, but the interference of Alisha Edwards momentarily shifted the momentum. Alisha struck PCO with a shovel, but he seemed unfazed. ## Edwards capitalized on the distraction, but accidentally knocked down Alisha with a misplaced kick. Seizing the opportunity, PCO slammed Edwards once more, placed him in the casket, and closed the lid to claim victory. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
