Winner and Still Knockouts Champion Mickie James

Very good show overall. A nice little surprise of PCO Vincent and the Kingdom all debuting, I have a feeling it will be revealed in the near future that at least the Kingdom is signed since there were rumors about Bennett signing with Impact leading up to this show. A decent first try for the Knockouts Ultimate X, also a very good Jonah/Alexander and Hardcore War in the middle of the card, capped off by a really good main event with Mickie/Deonna. I'm kind of surprised Mickie retained seeing as she's going in to the Rumble in a few weeks, also you set her up against Tasha Steelz, and Deonna/Rok C for if ROH does come back. Thanks for reading I will be back later this week with the Hard to Kill fallout version of the Impact Recap.
