Contract Signing
Scott D’Amore is in the ring and welcomes out Masha Slamovich and Jordynne Grace for a contract signing. D’Amore hypes both of them up before handing the contract to Masha first since she is undefeated. Masha doesn’t say anything and signs it. Jordynne grabs a mic and says she has something to say. She says she is nowhere near ready to give up her title. Masha may be undefeated, but Grace is a two time champion, a former tag champion, and the first ever Digital Media Champion. She is the first triple crown Knockout in company history. Jordynne is ready to teach Masha a lesson at BFG. Masha picks up the mic and says “Masha’s gonna kill you.” Masha turns over the table on Jordynne and unloads with punches. Masha clears the chairs out and moves the table. Jordynne throws punches and places Masha on the top rope. Jordynne goes for Muscle Buster, but Masha counters and drives Jordynne into the table with Snow Plow. Masha stands tall with the title 24 hours before BFG.
