Xia Brookside remains supreme after another successful Knockouts World Title defense, this time against Wendy Choo on Thursday’s episode of “TNA Impact.”
In the last match of the night, the champion put her title on the line against the “WWE NXT” and EVOLVE Superstar.

Brookside slammed down on Choo’s spine with a double knee takedown, only to land a one count. Firing on all cylinders, Choo thought she had it in the bag with her Snooze Button finisher, but that high impact maneuver only provided her with a two count. Starting to fade in a sleeper hold, Brookside switched from sleepy to sharp when she reversed the hold and landed her Dark Side DDT to retain. After her match, Elayna Black, who’s been eyeing her shot at the title for some time now, came into the ring, and both women had a staredown.
