Mickie&#8217;s confrontation with Deonna was a highlight of last week&#8217;s show and the fans reacted enthusiastically to her appearance. The Mickie vs. Deonna showdown at BFG should be a great one.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact Match of the Week: Josh Alexander vs. Ace Austin<\/h3>\n<p>Fresh from declaring that he was cashing in &#8220;Option C&#8221; to get a world title shot at Bound For Glory, Josh Alexander continued his momentum in the main event of last week&#8217;s TV show by defeating Ace Austin. The 16 minute match saw Alexander come out on top after getting the C-4 Spike on Ace. Ace and Fulton attacked Alexander after the match but Christian Cage and the returning Christopher Daniels ran in for the save.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact TV Results (9\/23\/21):<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>David Finlay beat Hikuleo<\/li>\n<li>Rohit Raju beat Chelsea Green<\/li>\n<li>Rich Swann &amp; Willie Mack beat Brian Myers &amp; VSK<\/li>\n<li>Josh Alexander beat Ace Austin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>In the News:<\/h3>\n<p>Mercedes Martinez, Lady Frost, and Renee Michelle have all been announced for the upcoming Knockouts Knockdown special in October.
