Impact Wrestling Taps Out at the MegaCorp Pavilion

Newport, Kentucky - May 18, 2024 was a night to remember as Impact Wrestling brought its unique blend of high-flying action and hard-hitting drama to the MegaCorp Pavilion. And I'm here to give you the lowdown on all the excitement that went down.

Santana Soars Past Wentz

The evening kicked off with Mike Santana taking on Zachary Wentz in a singles match. This was a battle of contrasting styles, with Santana's flashy offense pitted against Wentz's gritty determination. In the end, it was the former champion who came out on top, securing the win at 7:50 with a picture-perfect diving elbow drop.

Belle and Slamovich Engage in Thrilling Tussle

Next up was Marti Belle looking to bounce back from a tough loss against Masha Slamovich. These two women put on a show, trading near-falls and delivering some of the most vicious strikes you'll ever see. In the end, it was Belle who emerged victorious at 4:35 with a well-timed roll-up.

Luna Shines in Steelz Showdown

Dani Luna continued her winning streak against Tasha Steelz in a match that showcased both women's impressive athleticism. The action spilled outside the ring, with Luna ultimately securing the win at 11:56 with a thrilling top-rope splash.

By Elegance Outsmarts Stone

Ash By Elegance pulled off a major upset by taking down Jada Stone in a singles match. This was a masterclass in strategy and misdirection, with By Elegance using her quickness and cunning to outmaneuver the more powerful Stone. The victory came at 3:53 via a series of rapid-fire elbow strikes.

Nemeth Brothers Dominate ABC

Finally, Nic Nemeth and Ryan Nemeth put on a clinic in a tag team match against Ace Austin and Chris Bey (ABC). These four men delivered a wild and woolly ride, with the Nemeth brothers ultimately emerging victorious at 21:00 after a brutal powerbomb-and-finisher combo.
