Summary

Arianna Grace retained the Knockouts World Championship in the main event of the April 2 episode of TNA iMPACT, defeating Xia Brookside with help from her fiancé, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo.

The finish made the next title defense official. Grace is now set to defend the Knockouts World Title against Léi Yǐng Lee at TNA Rebellion on April 11.

Brookside had entered the bout after earning a shot at Grace on the same episode of iMPACT, but the champion escaped with outside help before the focus shifted to Rebellion.

Winner

Arianna Grace defeated Xia Brookside to retain the Knockouts World Championship, with assistance from Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo.

What Arianna Grace vs. Léi Yǐng Lee Means for Rebellion

Grace now heads into Rebellion with a rematch against the woman she beat for the title at No Surrender in February, which gives the Knockouts title picture a direct piece of continuity heading into the pay-per-view.

It also gives Léi Yǐng Lee an immediate chance to avenge that loss on a bigger stage, while TNA locks in a championship match that is already tied to recent history instead of starting a new feud from scratch.
