IMPACT Wrestling Hard to Kill 2022 Preview and Predictions

2. Deonna Purrazzo Wins the IMPACT Knockouts Championship over Mickie James in a Texas Death Match

The decision to move the IMPACT Knockouts Championship off Deonna Purrazzo last year was questionable. Purrazzo is one of the best performers in the industry and Mickie James is at a stage where she doesn't need a championship. However, it turned out to be the right move in hindsight.

IMPACT has made this match feel fresh with the way the story has been told. The "Texas Death Match" stipulation will generate a level of interest and intrigue. New talent has also been brought into the Knockouts Division, so if Purrazzo regains the title, she will have some fresh opponents to work with.

3. Chelsea Green wins the Ultimate X Match over Jordynne Grace, Lady Frost, Rachael Ellering, Rosemary and Tasha Steelz

Who Will be the Number One Contender for the IMPACT Knockouts Championship?

IMPACT has one of the strongest women's rosters in all of wrestling. The Ultimate X match is a great way to show off the talent outside of the championship match. In reality, any of these women would be fine contenders for the championship. However, Chelsea Green is new to the company and would receive a significant boost off of a title shot.

Should Deonna Purrazzo win the IMPACT Knockouts Championship over Mickie James, Green would be the perfect babyface challenger. Green and Purrazzo are reportedly friends outside the ring and this would make the storyline even more intriguing.
