6 Ups & 4 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling (5 August)

2. The Flava Without The Fire

Fire N Flava's final match was a blast, with a loss to Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering signifying the end of their union.

Though the match was a tad slow in places, Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz told their story well. It had been teased earlier in the night, with Tasha saying she knew what a great tag team partner looked like. This was followed by some slight miscommunication during the match. The end, for example, came when Kiera received a tandem Rock Bottom variant, all while Tasha was laying at ringside, having been taken out prior.

The duo officially disbanded after the bell, with the debuting Savannah Evans kicking the piss out of Hogan's face, with Steelz departing alongside this new behemoth.

As a match, it was delightful stuff. Seriously. Grace and Ellering were wearing some new matching gear and utilised some neat tag team manoeuvres, too; only now are they a proper tag team. For Fire N Flava, they couldn't have told a grander story. This felt huge. Savannah got a reaction when she appeared, with both Kiera and Tasha delivering great acting also. The perfect culmination to Kiera's time in IMPACT.
