Impact Hard to Kill notes: New Knockouts no. 1 title contender, AAA partnership

There is a new no. 1 contender for the TNA Knockouts title.

In a multi-woman Ultimate X match at Saturday's Hard to Kill, Gisele Shaw survived and won the match, giving her a future opportunity at the gold.

The end came when Shaw, Dani Luna and Tasha Steelz were all vying for the X, leading to Luna and Steelz falling to the mat. Shaw held on and grabbed the X to pick up the win in a match that also included Alisha Edwards, Jody Threat and Xia Brookside.

Despite having several opportunities, Shaw has never held the Knockouts title

Current Knockouts Champion Trinity will defend against Jordynne Grace later on the pay-per-view.

TNA & AAA signed a partnership during Saturday's Hard to Kill -- one that AAA head Dorian Roldan Pena hopes will "change the landscape of wrestling."

During the broadcast, TNA president Scott D'Amore and Pena came out on the stage which led to highlights of past TNA/AAA matches airing. Pena said he wants to bring more lucha libre to TNA before making his statement about changing wrestling.

The two promotions recently held a co-promoted show in Monterrey, Mexico, that was featured on Impact on AXS TV.
