It isn't known just yet if this is something permanent, or if he is set to defend both titles individually. In what may be a sign, at the tapings held on January 10, the Grand title was defended with♒out the usual rules and was held as a regular match. Matt Sydal retained the title that night against Fallah Baah.

Meanwhile Allie, who has been the perennial challen🐻ger to the title since last year, defeated Laurel Van Ness tonight to win the Impact Knockouts championship for the second time. Van Ness held the title for 66 days, winning the title when it was vacated by Gail Kim after Bound For Glory foll🐻owing her retirement.
