Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 22, 2016

Drew Galloway starts tonight's show. He has waited for the past 15 years for this moment, and asks everyone to look at TNA and the World title differently as he looks to put TNA on the map again. An angry Matt Hardy shows up, calling Drew's win "felony robbery" after Drew "stole" the title from him. Drew says he saw an opportunity and took it. Matt says he will either get his title re-match, or he will obliterate Galloway. Drew tells Matt Hardy to bring it, then Jeff Hardy shows up and says there's a line for the World title, and that he's first in line as he was taken out of last week's match by Eric Young and Bram. Matt Hardy tells Jeff to go away, but Jeff says he's not going anywhere until he gets his title shot. He is then attacked from behind by Eric Young and Bram, and Matt Hardy and the rest of his cronies do the rest of the work as Young and Bram ready a table before the commercial break.

After the break, Matt Hardy, Tyrus, Rockstar Spud, Eric Young and Bram use the numbers game to their advantage against Jeff Hardy and Drew Galloway until Ethan Carter III rushes into the ring with a steel chair, chasing them all away before they can put Jeff through a table that was set up before the commercial break. EC3 then challenges Drew Galloway for the title, having lost it twice without being pinned or submitted, and tells Jeff to sit this one out. "The Miracle" Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis show up, and Bennett wants a title shot on the grounds that he was the last person to pin Drew Galloway. Drew says he'll fight everybody for the title. Dixie Carter shows up, and says this is going to be done the right way. Everyone wanting a title shot is placed in a gauntlet match tonight, and the winner gets the first title shot against Drew Galloway.

Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) namedrop some past TNA World Tag Team Championship teams on their way to the ring for their open challenge tonight, implying they could be potential challengers. At one point, Storm mentions America's Most Wanted ("The Cowboy" James Storm and "Wildcat" Chris Harris), and Roode says that would mean that Storm would have to fight on both teams. Storm still likes the idea, calling it "awesome."

Jeremy Borash interviews "The Miracle" Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis. Bennett commends Drew Galloway on the Feast or Fired cash-in from last night, but says he's going to win the gauntlet match and get the first title shot. He then draws a number for when he appears in the Gauntlet match. When Maria asks what number he got, Mike says he's got this.

Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) show up in the ring for their tag team open challenge. Robbie E suddenly shows up and says he's got two guys who are willing to take them on who used to do everything together: The Bro Mans. It's official - Robbie E and Jessie Godders are back together as The Bro Mans.

Beer Money ("The Cowboy" James Storm and Bobby Roode) beat The Bro Mans (Robbie E and Jessie Godders).

Decay (Abyss, Crazzy Steve, Rosemary) challenge Eddie Edwards to a no-disqualification match after they gloat over Davey Richards recently getting injured, after Abyss says the three of them have come together for reasons that none of us could possibly understand.

Eric Young and Bram pick their numbers for the gauntlet match after Young declares himself the most dangerous man in professional wrestling. After they do, we find out that Willow is real, and as soon as Eric says he sees him, he disappears.

Eddie Edwards show up, and says he doesn't care which member of Decay (Abyss, Crazzy Steve, Rosemary) he faces as long as he gets a fight. He ends up getting Crazzy Steve.

Eddie Edwards beats Crazzy Steve in a no-disqualification match after Eddie tricks Steve into knocking Rosemary off the apron.

Maria Kanellis says that unlike Gail Kim, she's going to change the Knockouts Division forever.

Dixie Carter tells Lashley that he's lucky he's only been fined after what happened last week. Dixie Carter then gives Lashley what he wants...but what is it? Lashley says that "not one of those men are ready for me."

Jeremy Borash interviews Jeff Hardy and Ethan Carter III. Hardy is finally glad to get his potential World title shot, while Ethan Carter III wants to get his hands on "The Miracle" Mike Bennett. Both men then draw their numbers, and they like what they see, especially EC3, who says he's number one.

Before the next match, Maria Kanellis says she's asked for control of the Knockouts from TNA...then The Dollhouse (Rebel, Jade, Marti Bell) show up. Maria says they have so much potential, but she wants them to become women. Marti Bell thinks that Maria is trying to break The Dollhouse up, but Maria says she's making them stronger. Maria then gives up her shot at the Knockouts title, after she has asked TNA for permission to give up her shot at the title, and then has The Dollhouse fight each other, and the winner gets a shot at the Knockouts title.

Maria Kanellis guests on commentary for the next match.

Jade beats Marti Bell and Rebel to become #1 contender for the TNA Knockouts Championship.

Matt Hardy says he can't even trust Jeremy Borash as he, Tyrus and Rockstar Spud draw their numbers for the gauntlet match.

Grado and Mahabali Shera talk about the party they're going to have next week to celebrate Grado getting re-hired.

Drew Galloway shows up and says that the chaos that led to this gauntlet match is what we can expect when he is Champion. We then find out that Lashley is the first man in the gauntlet match, as Lashley congratulates Galloway on becoming the new champ only for Galloway to say he doesn't respect him for his actions as of late. Lashley then says he's in the gauntlet because nobody's as dominating as him. Drew Galloway is about to fight Lashley when Ethan Carter III shows up for the gauntlet match.

Jeff Hardy beats Rockstar Spud, Ethan Carter III, Lashley, Tyrus, Bram Eric Young and Matt Hardy in a Gauntlet Match to become #1 contender to the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and face Drew Galloway next week.
