IMPACT Knockouts World Tag Team Championship: The Influence (Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne) (c) vs. Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie
Rayne and Valkyrie start the bout, and they feel each other out. Rosemary tags herself in and bites Rayne. Dashwood tags in, but she gets double-teamed by Valkyrie and Rosemary. The challengers maintain the upper hand, but Rayne drops Rosemary at ringside to gain some momentum. Dashwood grounds her and keeps her isolated from Valkyrie. The champions continue to control the match, but Rosemary rallies by suplexing Dashwood. Valkyrie makes the hot tag with a flurry of offense. She hits a Blue Thunder Bomb on Rayne for a two count. Rosemary goes for the Spear, but Dashwood nails her with a kick to the head. The challengers send their opponents into each other with an Irish whip and drop them with Spears.
Dashwood catches Valkyrie with a neckbreaker through the ropes. The Influence drop Rosemary with The Collab. Rosemary fires up and slams Rayne for the win.

“I feel like it’s a combination because I’ve always had kind of a career that has been a different path. I have not followed the conventional way of getting into wrestling by any means and really I’ve written my own story. So it’s kind of fitting that in a way, of course, this is what happens to me,” she explained, “but I also find motivation in all of it. I have something to prove to myself. I just had to remind myself of who I was. And so right now, it is about finding that new mountain to climb. But it’s also just kind of continuing my legacy and building, continuing my story.”
