Determined to get that Title Belt back!

"Individually, I don't think there's enough juice for the six-man tag match to sell the PPV. But, that's OK this month, as the main event is complemented by the aforementioned Booker vs. Roode match and Kong vs. ODB vs. Gail Kim. The women's feud has been a ratings draw for months, and the intrigue of seeing the three top women in a match for the Title is reason enough to order the PPV."

James Caldwell, PWTorch

"TNA Women's Championship Match: Awesome Kong © vs. Gail Kim vs. ODB
What Should Happen: Obviously Kong should keep her title. There's nothing wrong with a monster heel running wild for a few months. Kim and ODB do a fine job in the ring, which should make this match a decent contest. When was the last time that was ever said about a WWE women's match? It's been a long time.
What Will Happen: Kong will keep her belt."

"Is there really going to be a holy war in the Women's Division?"

What the Critics are saying continued ...

"They are the three best female in ring and on mike performers in the entire world today and they are high up on a mountain of great TNA Knockouts. This will be a women's match for the ages and will rival the Machismo match in popularity. Look for a new champion to be crowned and don't expect it to be Kim ... I think that ODB just might find some gold around her waist."

(courtesy PW Insider, Extra)

and ..

Awesome Kong © w/Riesha Saeed vs. ODB vs. Gail Kim

William Bumgarner: Another solid candidate for the main event. Kim and Kong are solid athletes and proven champions, and ODB is a fast-rising star (not a fan of her promos, but she can go in the ring and seemingly has the fans behind her, judging by crowd reaction and how well her T-shirts are selling). A loss wouldn't hurt Kong at this point (she's been dominating since she showed up), and Kim could easily come back from one in a week or so. I say ODB nabs the win here and cements herself in the upper-tier of the division.

Winner and NEW Knockouts Champion: ODB

Andy Clark: This should be really good, especially if they get time. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of wacky double pin with Kim and ODB both having to pin Kong just to keep her down.

Winners: Gail Kim & ODB by Double Pinfall

Michael Weyer: Now this should be the match of the night. All three are able to work great on their own, put together, they should do some good. I'm torn on the ending as Kim is hot, ODB is hotter and Kong is so dominant as a champion. I'll go with Kong retaining but this should be a great example of the one thing TNA is really doing right.

WINNER and still Women's Champion: Awesome Kong

Dave Grone: I never cared even a little about women's wrestling until the Knockout division came along. This feud has been pretty kick ass since (shock of all shocks) it's actually putting over the importance of the title. This should be a good match, and if it's your standard triple threat where the champion does not have to be pinned to lose the title, I can see Kong losing the belt. I'll go with that and say ODB pins Gail Kim for the belt.

Winner: ODB

Owain J. Brimfield: And here's your sleeper match of the night. It'll be interesting to see how this works once the inevitable team-up on Kong gets out of the way. I'm not sure she's quite cemented in her title reign yet though so she probably will retain.

Winner: KONG

Bayani Domingo: This should be pretty damn good actually. I'm not a fan of ODB's work, but she's a good character and her inclusion adds an interesting element. If it was straight 1 on 1 with Kim and Kong the outcome would be predictable, but I think ODB here takes the pinfall, I'm just not sure from whom. I will say that the "chase" just hasn't reached the peak yet so that really makes a title retention make sense. My guess is that Cheerleader Saeed gets involved and we end up with a Tag match at the next PPV which would just rock your face. Trust me…it would.

Winner: Awesome Kong

T.G. Corke: Will this close the show? No way, Fernando! Which is a bit of a shame, since it's the only other title match on the card. Oh well, never mind. I guess the backlash would have been pretty substantial from the bigots who hate women even being involved. Which is hypocritical, since TNA itself is run by an 'inverted penises by the name of Dixie Carter. As for the match, I'd have to assume Kong's retaining here, but the triple-threat environment does lend a slight element of doubt since she doesn't have to be pinned. I don't think Kim has a chance of winning, but ODB does if they want to get one more name on the (so far very short) honor roll for the title. I don't remember seeing many women's three-ways, at least not in...way too easy. So, I'm looking forward to this match in particular. I'll stick with my assumption that Kong's retaining.

Winner: Awesome Kong

JT: Ah yes, the most enjoyable part – in my eyes – of TNA right now. There's not much to break down here. The booking has been great and all of these ladies work well with one another regardless of combination. I don't think TNA will go with NO title changes and I'm just not sure ODB is quite ready.

WINNER: And NEW TNA Knockout Champion, Gail Kim

Matt Short: Do they have another challenger lined up for Kong after this? I could see this leading to an ODB/Kim feud for number one contender after the dust settles, but Kong will probably just be left by herself. If Roxxi or someone else is built up properly they could be a nice mid-term challenger while ODB and Kim settle things. That's going to end up being the main story after the dust settles from this match.

Winner: Awesome Kong

Larry Csonka: I think that it would be a mistake to drop the title off of Kong here. They have established her run well, but I just don't think that now is the time. Kim and ODB will not get along and that is what will cost one of them to take the pin. Hopefully the ladies continue their trend of delivering on PPV.

Winner: Kong

The staff picks Kong 6, ODB 2, Gail Kim 1, ODB and Gail Double Pin 1!

Gail Kim...ALWAYS a Champion!!

VERY interesting predictions by the wrestling writers. More picks for ODB than Gail :o :-/ Not sure about that & more shocked that there are FOUR different picks than Kong ^o)

I'm not sure about ODB winning the title or, even, Gail winning. I just think that everybody wants Gail v Kong at Lockdown. But, it is possible that Gail & ODB will have a feud over the next months, though that would leave Kong without a challenger & I'd rather have Gail v ODB feud over the title ;)

Interesting scenario by one of the writers about Saeed getting involved & setting up a tag team match at Lockdown I don't see that happening, in ANY kind of way!!

"Awesome Kong vs. Gail Kim vs. ODB (Women’s Championship)

Awesome Kong has been a force to be reckoned with in the women’s division. She
defeated Gail Kim for the title earlier in the year and has also successfully
defended it against ODB last month at Against All Odds. Kong looks seemingly
unstoppable and is now looking to further her dominance by taking on Kim and ODB at
the same time.

Much like the X Division title match, this match also has an opportunity to steal
the show. These three are the best the division has to offer and I don’t think it
will disappoint. Gail Kim and ODB have shown that they can work together and they
will need to do to stop Kong, but they also have their own agendas, which will
probably prevent either of them from winning the gold. Kong won’t win this match as
easily as she defeated Salinas this past Thursday, but she will still win the match.

Starman’s Prediction: Awesome Kong to retain the gold."

From Richard Trionfo ... PWInsider ...

"The tension between Gail and ODB will go away at the start of the match when they realize that they have a chance to win the TNA Women's Title. After trying to work over Kong with no success, they decide to try to get her out of the ring, and we will see a number of near falls between Gail and ODB. Kong will get back into the ring and she will go after Gail Kim. Kong and Kim will be rejoined by ODB and the three women will alternate pairing off for a few minutes. As things get back under control, we will see Kong remind everyone why she is the most dominant force in the Women's Division. While Kong deals with Gail Kim, Raisha Saeed will take care of ODB and allow Kong to finish off Gail Kim with the sit out power bomb."
