No matter what people may think about her reign as the Knockouts Champion, Taya Valkyrie will always have a plan in mind to ensure she walks away still the champ. That was exactly the case this week as she once again had to defend her gold against the monstrous Havok.

Havok dominated the majority of this championship bout, looking like she was about to lift the Knockouts Championship for the second time in her career. After hitting a chokeslam though, that's when John E. Bravo struck. He pulled the referee from the ring and shoved him to the floor, resulting in a disqualification victory for Havok, but another championship defence for Taya Valkyrie. Once again, Taya has technically successfully defended that title.

Even though Tenille Dashwood - who provided guest commentary for this match - got the last laugh here as she Valkyrie and Bravo packing from the ring, you can't be taking anything away from the champion. She got absolutely destroyed throughout this contest, and still managed to head back through the curtain with the title intact, albeit controversially.
