Knockout Returns From Short Absence, Title Vs. Title On Next Week's Impact, Laurel Van Ness - Allie
- On tonight's Impact, Taya Valkryie made her return to Impact Wrestling after being off their shows since November. When Impact headed to Canada for Bound for Glory and a set of tapings, Valkryie had to be left off due to the possibility of her not being able to get back into the United States. Valkyrie was born in Canada, but permanent residency in the U.S. wasn't completed in time. Tonight, Valkryie renewed her feud against Rosemary by attacking her after Rosemary's quick victory over Hania.
- After weeks of sneak attacks and brawls, Knockouts Champion Laurel Van Ness will defend her title against Allie at next week's Impact Crossroads. Tonight, Laurel attempted to commit to her championship title, but the ceremony was broken up by Allie who was in disguise at ringside.
