SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Impact Wrestler of the Week: Rosemary
Impact does a good job of rotating which Knockouts they feature in title programs. Rosemary is in line next for a title shot. To set it up, she got the surprise pin on current champion Deonna Purrazzo during a five-on-five match on last week’s Impact TV show. Deonna rarely loses, so the victory did an effective job of positioning Rosemary as a logical contender. Their match at Against All Odds has potential to be really good.
Match of the Week: TJP & Fallah Bahh vs. Petey Williams & Josh Alexander
Not a spectacular match, but on a week that was light on in-ring action, this was the best of the bunch. TJP and Alexander are constant highlights of Impact and their exchanges in this match were a good prelude to what should be an epic Iron Match match on the BTI (Before The Impact) pregame show this week.

-TJP & Fallah Bahh beat Petey Williams & Josh Alexander
