A big champion vs. champion match is set for Sacrifice, as Impact World Champion Tessa Blanchard will take on X-Division Champion Ace Austin at the Impact Plus exclusive event.
This comes after the X-Division Champion recently got a win over the third-generation star in a tag team match. Austin pinned Trey Miguel during the tag team affair; however, the X-Division Champion was the man to steal a victory from Blanchard at Bound For Glory.
In a wild ladder match, Austin defeated Jake Christ, Tessa Blanchard, Acey Romero, and Daga. The finish saw Blanchard seconds away from being the new X-Division Champion; however, the 22-year-old snuck into the ring, climbed the ladder, and then smashed a baton over Tessa’s head before grabbing the title.
Thus far, this is the first match confirmed for the Impact Plus exclusive event. The show will take place on February 22.
