SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Impact Wrestler of the Week: Taylor Wilde
Taylor made her in-ring return to Impact on last week’s TV show in a victory over Kimber Lee. Despite a ten-year absence, Taylor had an impressive performance and displayed some cool moves. She will add a spark to the already strong Knockouts division. It seems like she will start off in an angle with Tenille Dashwood but I suspect she will move on and eventually contend for the Knockouts title or team up with someone to go after the tag team titles.
Match of the Week: Josh Alexander vs. Ace Austin
Josh Alexander’s first defense of the X Division Title was against former champion Ace Austin. After 12 minutes of back-and-forth action, Alexander took the victory with an ankle lock submission. A great start to Alexander’s title reign and I’m looking forward to the other challengers that are on the horizon.
