Blanchard has moved up for the top rope Magnum, but Callihan knocks her aside. Get Out of Here shoulder breaker only garners a two-count.

Callihan gets trapped in the corner for a step up Magnum! Callihan still kicks out!

A kick to the knee cap doesn't keep Blanchard down, as she responds with a Samoan drop!!

Both competitors get in before the ref's ten count, where they again trade punches and chops. Blanchard demands that Callihan doesn't hold back.

Magnum on the apron!! Callihan is out cold but Blanchard's knee is too damaged to get up and put him in the ring.

Both meet on the apron and trade shots. Callihan demands Blanchard's best then gouges his challenger's eyes. Blanchard does the same in kind!!

The Undeniable One barely makes the ten count! Callihan cracks a wicked smile, then tears away more of the cushioning over the concrete floor.

Callihan drags Blanchard out and sets up for a powerbomb through a table. Blanchard holds onto the ropes and connects with a superkick. Callihan catches a senton, though, still managing to powerbomb Tessa trough the table!!

Every time Tessa gets some offense in, Callihan takes out her knees. A modified sit-out knee breaker puts a stop to her momentum.

Indian Deathlock in the middle of the ring sees Blanchard on the verge of tears, but she refuses to tap.

Callihan tells Blanchard that this vile despicable Sami Callihan is what she asked for. She kicks him in the face in response, forcing Callihan to take it a step further.

Fans are erupting for Tessa Blanchard! A dive from the top takes Callihan out on the floor!

Blanchard responds with a top rope Magnum!! Callihan kicks out too!

As the bell rang, the Cactus Special connected!! Blanchard kicks out!!

Callihan just rocked Blanchard with a pump kick before the match even began!!

Will Tessa Blanchard become the first woman to hold the belt, or will Sami Callihan prove the naysayers right? This has a real big match feel to it, folks.

And here we go, it's time for the IMPACT World Championship match!

The North defeat Willie Mack via pinfall.

Page tried to get DQ'd, but Mack talks the ref out of it. Page is caught with a stunner. Alexander breaks out of it, though, and the North demolish Mack with a series of strikes. The Lochness Lowdown ends Willie Mack's incredible run.

1!! 2!! ETHAN PAGE PULLS THE REF OUT!!

Alexander is out cold and Mack takes out Page on the outside with a dive!! can he do it???

Willie Mack stacked Alexander on top of Page and hits a FLYING SUPER CANADIAN DESTROYER!!!!!!

MACK KICKS OUT!!!

Six Star Frogsplash is prevented thanks to Page. Alexander and Page hit a lifting double powerbomb and the Monster Mash double Gotch Piledriver.

Mack is putting on the match of a lifetime right now! Maybe Chocolate Thunder can do it!

Dr Ariel will not clear @GottaGetSwann for action. @Willie_Mack has to go it alone. #HardToKill pic.twitter.com/3IG0pMybrX
