Maria and Mike Make a Statement
Maria comes out and talks about how the Knockouts Division is broken. She goes on to say that she can fix it and make it better again. Gail Kim comes out and talks about how Maria is a businesswoman and Kim is a wrestler. She tells Gail that she can make her mainstream. Maria says that Gail stinks as the leader of the Knockouts Division and as Knockouts Champion. Gail tells Maria to fix the problem. Maria and Gail gets into a shoving match. Maria rolls out of the ring and leaves.
Later in the night, Mike Bennett attacks Drew Galloway after his match with Tyrus. Bennett and Maria made a big statement tonight. First, the Knockouts Division is one that sees the same women over and over and over again. Rayne, Sky, Kong and Kim are always going to be there. This is a great time for Maria to throw her hat in the ring and get involved. It also adds intrigue that Mike Bennett seems to be feuding with the number one contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Drew Galloway can lose a few times if need be and keep the briefcase to cash in whenever he wants. Let those two work together because Galloway needs a really strong storyteller outside of the ring to make himself feel more important. Bennett is that guy.
