Knockouts Championship Match
Gail Kim (champion) vs. Mickie James

We get a tale of the tape, which is basically a run-down of the storyline. “Velvet’s Touch” is a pink & white cage for Madison to dance stand scream in. Mickie is out first, looking fine as usual. Gail is out with Madison, who isn’t appropriately dressed to dance in that cage. Thursday’s thong would have been more appropriate. Gail holds up both belts as Madison isn’t happy about this cage she is seeing. Oh c’mon Madison, it can’t be the first time…

Her reluctance brings Velvet Sky out to ringside, to a nice pop. And she’s popping alright, right out of that top. Velvet tries to open the cage door, but is having a hard time with it. I wonder if Sabin has experienced that same issue with her. Velvet slams Madison into the cage, and she’s locked up now. The cage is lifted, and Taz knows that Madison is afraid of heights.

We’re underway as Gail immediately has Mickie stuck in the corner. She follows up with a diving clothesline, followed up by a knee to the back. Mickie with a quick roll-up, but gets two. Mickie on the offensive and “nails” a seated dropkick (she missed). Gail sends Mickie into the corner, but Mickie is out with an elbow. Mickie is on the apron, and Gail connects with a knee, bringing Mickie in face first. Gail gets two.

Mickie tries to comeback, but Gail thwarts each attempt. Gail with some knees in the corner; then sends Mickie to the opposite corner, followed up by a shoulder to the gut. Gail kicks Mickie in the back repeatedly, as we get a shot from around Madison’s cage. She’s still not dancing. Mickie turns things around with a dropkick, but Gail is quick to regain the advantage. Velvet is still on the outside, and Taz loves when she claps. Mickie gets an arm & head drag, followed up by forearms and clotheslines. The crowd is pumped for Mickie, who gets caught in an Octopus. Mickie drags her into the corner, then drops her to the mat for two.

Mickie sets Gail up for the DDT, but Gail pushes her off. Mickie sends Gail out, right in front of Velvet. Gail drags Mickie out, and gets kicked in the face. Mickie follows up with a ‘rana off of the apron. Mickie with the Thesz press off of the top, and it gets two. Madison drops something down to Gail, and it bounces to the floor. Madison sends a second set down, but Mickie gets them and nails Gail! Ref sees that, and calls for the DQ.

Winner and STILL Knockouts Champion: Gail Kim (by disqualification), 6:27, ***

Screwjob finish to what was a good match. Velvet is hot as ever, but what else can she do? We’ll see as she gets the expected feud with Gail.

In a pre-match backstage interview conducted by Jeremy Borash, Karen Jarrett let it be known that she has full confidence in Gail’s ability to bring home the Knockouts Title by defeating reigning champion Velvet Sky. Gail would be on her own without any help at ringside. Gail said it would be a walk in the park and there’s no need to worry.

Knockouts Championship:

This match started out strong with the two competitors going back and forth however, due to a distraction from Karen Jarrett, Rayne was able to interfere unnoticed and hit Sky and almost allowing Kim to land a splash off the top rope.  When Sky was distracted it allowed for Gail Kim to hit Sky and get the pin to become the new Knockout’s Champion.

The dastardly trio now holds all of the gold in the Knockouts division, and looks to be unstoppable!
