10 Ups & 2 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling (30 Sep)
7. At Least They're A Proper Team
A rare Up has been sent the way of Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne, who have earned a Knockouts Tag Team Titles match vs. Rosemary and Havok on 9 October, doing so in a semi-decent match.
The match benefitted from Grace and Ellering's superb tandem offence. They've gelled tremendously since first teaming in April, combining their different in-ring styles to create this slew of tag team moves. Even individually, they were great; the impact of Grace's Vader Bomb on Madison was equal to that of the man himself. They didn't carry the Influence to a great match per se, but they certainly allowed it to flourish.
Intervention from Kaleb With A K at ringside led to Dashwood and Rayne securing a three count, debuting a new tandem finish to put Ellering down. Coupled with their slightly matching gear and general cohesion as a team, they've earned their Up for this week. Only just.
They were the correct winners, as they've yet to challenge for the titles, while Jordynne and Rachael are previous champions themselves. Whenever there's an opportunity for a fresh match, you must always seize the chance.
