At Bound for Glory, these two pushed each other to their limits in an extremely physical and back-and-forth match. In the end, it was Grace that had her hand raised as she retained her Knockouts Championship. This ended a 2022 winning streak for Slamovich in IMPACT. This did not sit well with Slamovich. Following a match between Grace and <strong>Gisele Shaw,<\/strong> Slamovich attacked Grace from behind before suplexing her into a pile of chairs on the entrance ramp.<\/p>\n<p>It is clear there is still some unfinished business between these two. Now Slamovich has the chance to capture the Knockouts Championship from Grace in a Last Knockouts Standing match. Both of these competitors bring strength to the ring. Slamovich has made it clear she is comfortable using chairs and other dangerous methods to get a message across. Buckle up for this one, it promises to be a hard-hitting match at Over Drive 2022.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 533px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/iNYgeBu.jpg\" alt=\"Over Drive 2022 - Josh Alexander vs. Kazarian \" width=\"533\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo \/ IMPACT Wrestling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Option C is Invoked<\/h3>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t take Frankie Kazarian long to invoke Option C. Kazarian defeated <strong>&#8220;Speedball&#8221; Mike Bailey<\/strong> at Bound for Glory 2022 for the X-Division Championship. The following week on IMPACT he vacated the X-Division Championship for a chance at Josh Alexander and the IMPACT World Championship. The two successfully teamed up to defeat <strong>Aussie Open<\/strong> on a recent episode of IMPACT Wrestling. At Over Drive they will put any friendship aside to compete for the biggest prize in IMPACT Wrestling.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander is no stranger to Option C. He successfully utilized Option C at Bound for Glory 2021 to defeat Christian Cage for the IMPACT World Championship. His celebration was short-lived as <strong>Moose<\/strong> cashed in his Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy to defeat him moments later. Alexander knows how successful Option C can be. He is looking to stop Kazarian from successfully cashing in at Over Drive 2022.<\/p>\n<p><em>Header photo &#8211; IMPACT Wrestling.
