TNAWrestling.com has announced a Knockouts Championship match for Slammiversary IX, in which champion Mickie James will defend her title against Angelina Love. Slammiversary IX will take place on Sunday, June 12th.
It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Okay, so maybe a couple of moments. We’ve seen weeks upon months of back and forth between all competitors in tonight’s matches. Whether it’s the self-proclaimed “Queen” of the Knockouts division or the Queen of the Mountain, I have a feeling that tonight, someone is going to get overthrown. So much is on the line tonight. The Knockouts Championship and the contract of a scorned henchwoman, to the physical stature of Little Mama and Big Daddy. The return of a female phenomenon to the ring after ten years has the Impact Zone on fire tonight. I have a feeling there are definitely going to be fireworks. I hope you brought the marshmallows for roasting because there’s going to be heat.
Our real and true action for TNA Sacrifice starts out in the form of Jeff Jarrett and his Queen of the Hillside, Karen Jarrett. They slowlly make their way onto the stage, hand on the ribcage, crutches in hand and a boot on the foot. Say what?! Karen is dressed like she’s on her way to the prom, heel and all. Jeff hands her the crutches and they make their way to the ring, slow enough for another population to have enough time to develop on a foreign planet. When they finally reach the apron, Jeff helps her up and through all the pain and anguish, she limps to the middle of the ring. Jeff takes to the microphone, stating that unfortunately, and being an adorable, caring wife and mother. Please, give him all of your attention because he has a very important announcement to make! Listen people! Listen!

In her first match back after several years of self-imposed wrestling exile, Chyna proved to be a comeback queen tonight at TNA’s Sacrifice pay per view.
Chyna, teaming with Kurt Angle, was victorious in her in-ring return over Karen and Jeff Jarrett.
Perhaps the most popular person in the Impact Zone during the entire PPV, fans chanted to see Chyna step into the ring, giving the one-time 9th Wonder of the World a huge ovation.
Going into tonight’s Sacrifice pay per view, Tara had a choice — her allegiance with Madison Rayne or her freedom courtesy of Mickie James. She went for the latter. Helping Mickie win her Knockouts Championship match at the pay per view, Tara clocked Rayne with a punch with the self-professed Queen’s own loaded glove. The … Read more
Tonight at TNA’s Sacrifice PPV, Chyna returns to the ring teaming with Kurt Angle to take on Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett. Plus, Madison Rayne vs Mickie James one more time for the Knockouts Championship. If Madison loses, Tara is free! Watch the PPV live from 8pm ET. Discuss the show in the comments!
The Diva Dirt team weigh in on tonight’s Sacrifice pay per view:
Chyna & Kurt Angle vs Karen & Jeff Jarrett
Cryssi: I don’t expect Karen Jarrett to actually get in the ring. So we’ll either see Chyna/Kurt Angle versus Jeff Jarrett in a handicap match, or the more likely scenario of Kurt Angle versus Jeff Jarrett part whatever it is. So this will be a no-contest for the ladies. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. =)
Diva Dirt’s Eric is at the FWE show in Brooklyn, NY where TNA Knockouts Winter and Rosita will compete with Christy Hemme as special guest referee. Jillian was supposed to wrestle but backed out of the booking due to personal reasons.
Results below:
The show began with an announcement that Jillian Hall would not be in attendance. They played a message from Jillian apologizing for her absence but offered to sing a song. She began to sing “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears.
The crowd rudely boos and Winter comes out looking so fierce. Winter expresses disappointment at not facing Jillian since she travelled all that way to disgusting Brooklyn. She also said New York was like London but with no class. She announces that she has a replacement and its Rosita, coming out to the Mexican America theme and looking amazing. Absolutely gorgeous in person. Rosita says she is excited to face Winter again since she beat her for the tag belts.
