Allie has come a long way in Impact, initially debuting with the company as the timid assistant to <strong>Maria Kanellis<\/strong> in 2016 (although she&#8217;d previously competed on <em><strong>One Night Only<\/strong> <\/em>events under her real name <strong>Laura Dennis<\/strong>). Her first Knockouts Championship was a fluke win during her time, when she inadvertently won a Fatal Five Way for the title against the Champion of Kanellis&#8217; stable,<strong> Sienna<\/strong>, alongside <strong>Jade<\/strong> (Mia Yim), <strong>Marti Bell<\/strong> and <strong>Madison Rayne<\/strong>. She would lose the title the following week to Maria herself. This time, the spotlight is squarely on Allie, as she looks to become one of the Knockouts Division&#8217;s focal points in 2018.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">What an awesome moment.
