This specific stipulation came to fruition following another beatdown between James and Purrazzo at a meet and greet session on tonight's show. It was Gail Kim's call to make this contest into a Texas Death Match.

James snatched the Knockouts Championship from Purrazzo at this year's Bound For Glory, making this her fourth run with the title. As for Purrazzo, should she win, this will be the third time she has held the belt.

Once the dust has settled from this rivalry, it was reported that Purrazzo will face Ring of Honor Women's World Champion, Rok-C, post-Hard To Kill. It wasn't confirmed if their Winner Take All match will happen at Impact or through another promotion. Purrazzo appeared at ROH Final Battle last weekend, calling out the Women's World Champion for a future Title vs. Title Match. Purrazzo currently holds the AAA Reina de Reinas belt.
