#4 Mercedes Martinez debuts on IMPACT Wrestling; Monster's Ball match added to Knockouts Knockdown card

Ahead of the Knockouts Knockdown tournament, the participants were involved in six-woman tag team match with Mercedes Martinez making her IMPACT Wrestling in-ring debut. Tasha and Savannah took turns to attack Brandi and keep her away from her corner, but Lauren fought them off to tag Kimber who went on the offensive.

Tasha and Savannah, however, refused to tag Martinez in so she decided to enter the ring and took Kimber out with a Double underhook suplex. Tasha rolled up the latter to secure the win.

After the match, Alisha attacked Kimber and Brandi and demanded a match. Gail Kim upped the ante and announced a Monster's Ball match involving Alisha, Kimber Lee, Jordynn Grace, and Savannah Evans to honor the late great Daffney.
