Wrestling Woes: A Night of Upsets at Impact's World Cup Pay Per View
Orlando, Florida - In a night that saw more twists and turns than a WWE storyline, Impact Wrestling's World Cup pay per view event left fans scratching their heads as the unexpected emerged victorious.

In the women's division, Angelina Love outlasted ODB in a match that saw both competitors give it their all, ultimately resulting in a win for "The Queen of Mean" in 7:06 minutes. Ethan Carter III, on the other hand, had to dig deep to overcome Davey Richards, emerging victorious after 11:23 minutes.
