SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
Impact Wrestler of the Week: Deonna Purrazzo
At Under Siege, Deonna turned back the challenge of Havok to continue her dominant reign as Impact Knockouts champion. Many fans consider Impact to have the strongest women’s division in all of wrestling and Deonna continues to set the pace for the division. With Deonna recently turning back the challenges of Tenille Dashwood and Havok and no obvious number one contender on the horizon, this would be an excellent opportunity for AEW to send one of their women’s division wrestlers over to get some in-ring time against the best that Impact has to offer.
Match of the Week: Josh Alexander vs. El Phantasmo
The X Division match at Under Siege stole the show with 16 minutes of back-and-forth action that saw Alexander retain the title when ELP submitted to an ankle lock. Alexander has really risen to the occasion since being awarded the X Division title and ELP has added a fresh element to the X Division mix. Based on post-match interviews, it appears this feud may continue in NJPW.
