He was victorious in a four-way match that also included <strong>Ace Austin, Chris Bey<\/strong>, and <strong>Laredo Kid.\u00a0<\/strong>He replaced <strong>Jake Something<\/strong> who picked up a win in a singles match on the pre-show against <strong>Madman Fulton.<\/strong> Now the two winners from the pre-show of <em>Hard to Kill<\/em> will face off in Bailey&#8217;s first appearance on IMPACT television. Bailey will look to use his speed and martial arts technique to combat the strength and size of Something.

Purrazzo promised to win the IMPACT Knockouts Title from <strong>Micke James<\/strong> at <em>Hard to Kill<\/em>. Her goal was to challenge Rok-C in a winner take all match. <em>Hard to Kill<\/em> did not go the way Purrazzo had planned and she came up short against James. She will still get her match with Rok-C, but she will instead be defending her <strong>AAA<\/strong> Reina De Reinas Championship. Two wrestlers will enter, only one will walk out with two titles, this week on IMPACT!<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
