//->> OPENING WORDS FROM THE EDITOR
Colin Vassallo -[mailto:editor@...]-

Not sure how I feel about Tessa winning the Impact World title. There's a reason why there's a men's and a women's title. You won't see a man going for the women's title. Yeah, there's the shock value and it got people talking but long term, not sure if it was a great booking idea.

HARD TO KILL PPV RESULTS

- Here are the results from last night’s Hard To Kill pay-per-view which took place from The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas. Ken Shamrock defeated Madman Fulton; Ace Austin defeated Trey Miguel to retain the X Division title; Taya Valkyrie defeated Jordynne Grace and ODB in a triple threat match to retain the Impact Knockouts title; Rob Van Dam defeated Daga; Eddie Edwards defeated Michael Elgin; Moose defeated Rhino; The North defeated Rich Swann and Willie Mack to retain the Impact Tag Team titles; Tessa Blanchard defeated Sami Callihan to win the Impact World title.

TESSA BLANCHARD DELIVERS SPEECH AFTER HISTORIC WIN, SAYS NO ONE IS PERFECT

- Tessa Blanchard wrote her name in the pro wrestling history books last night at the Hard To Kill pay-per-view becoming the first woman to win a promotion’s world title. She defeated Sami Callihan in the intergender main event, wrapping up a year-long storyline that saw Blanchard rise to the top. Her weekend wasn’t all going great though as after a tweet meant to unite the females in the wrestling community, several of her former co-workers fired back, exposing her as a bully and a racist, statements which Blanchard denied on social media when replying to her accusers. But her victory speech last night after Hard To Kill went off the air somewhat addressed those rumors, saying that she hasn’t been perfect. “Nobody in this life is perfect. We’re all human,” Blanchard said. “It doesn’t matter what you call me. I’ve got one of the strongest minds that I’ve ever known. So whenever you come for me, you come for all these people.” Blanchard, the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Tully Blanchard, wrapped up her speech by telling fans that she is now the standard bearer of the promotion. “Man or woman…pound for pound…I am one of the best in the world, and I am now your world champion.” You can see her speech at .

BRIAN CAGE HEADING TO ALL ELITE WRESTLING

- Multiple industry insiders are reporting that Impact's Brian Cage has signed a deal with All Elite Wrestling. The news was originally broken by SoCalUncensored.com. Cage was supposed to wrestle Rob Van Dam yesterday at Hard To Kill but an injury prevented him from doing too much physical stuff. Van Dam then ended up wrestling Daga instead. The 35-year-old Cage worked for Impact between 2012 and 2014 and then returned in 2018 where he won the Impact World title. Cage was also supposed to take part at the Double or Nothing Casino Battle Royale back in May but his appearance was pulled due to some creative differences between AEW and Impact Wrestling who opted not to have their world champion competing in a battle royal. Cage's wife, Mellissa Santos, refuted the online reports that her husband is now part of AEW. On Twitter, Santos wrote, "Really?? How can you confirm something that isn't true???? I'm his wife and I can CONFIRM, he hasn't signed on any dotted line."

NEXT IMPACT PPV REBELLION TO TAKE PLACE IN NEW YORK CITY

- The next Impact Wrestling pay-per-view, Rebellion, will be taking place in New York, New York in April, although the exact date was not revealed yet. The show will be held at Terminal 5, a 3,000-seater music venue located 610 West 56th Street, close to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal. This is the second time that Impact will hold Rebellion, a new pay-per-view which made its debut last year in Toronto at The Rebel Complex.

PAIGE JOKES ABOUT ENTERING MEN'S RUMBLE MATCH AMID RETURN RUMORS

- There have been several rumors lately that just like Edge, Paige will be soon stepping back in the ring and be part of the women's Royal Rumble match later this month. Paige also recently signed a new WWE deal, giving more fuel to those rumors. Taking to Twitter to address these rumors, Paige joked that she is indeed coming back to the ring at the Royal Rumble. "I’m entering myself into the men’s and being number 2 and taking that bish to suplex city then go on to win the whole thing," she wrote, adding a funny GIF of one of her entrances. Then, to make matters worse for her, Triple H also talked about the rumors of both Edge and Paige returning, saying it's solely a medical decision and if their medical experts say that they believe this person has done whatever needs to be done to get in shape and there's no risk, then they allow them to return. "When you're talking about people as talented as Edge and Paige, who wouldn't want them to return? I'm a fan just like everyone else. Yeah, we'd love to see them step back in the ring. More importantly than that though, I'd love to see them live a long healthy life," Triple H said. The former NXT and Divas champion was not amused though. "Even my boss jokes about me.. no wonder you guys still do it too," she wrote.

THE REVIVAL APPLY FOR TRADEMARK POSSIBLY OF NEW TAG TEAM NAME

- Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder have filed for the trademark of Shatter Machine, presumable the name of their tag team should they depart the WWE as they are believed to do so in a few months. The trademark, filed on January 8 under the entertainment and merchandise section of goods and services, is listed under their real name of Daniel Wheeler and David Harwood. The attorney on record is Michael E. Dockins from Toledo, Ohio, the same attorney who filed several trademarks for Cody Rhodes last year as well as Charlotte Flair. Dawson and Wilder are expected to be departing WWE in a few months after their contract runs out. While WWE has been aggressively trying to lock them in for another deal, the former tag team champions seem to be exploring their options.

SIX-MAN "FISTFIGHT" HEADLINES RAW TONIGHT

- Four matches have been announced for Monday Night Raw tonight as the show goes head-to-head against the NCAA football game which is expected to draw monster ratings on ESPN. The four matches are Rusev vs Bobby Lashley, Aleister Black vs Buddy Murphy, Randy Orton vs AJ Styles, and a fistfight involving Big Show, Samoa Joe, and Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins and the Authors of Pain. Apart from these four matches, Brock Lesnar will also be in the house, his second appearance in a row this year as the road to the Royal Rumble continues.
