Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 31, 2016

Dixie Carter is seen talking to someone at the beginning of the show...and Dixie is giving that person the show for tonight!



"The Miracle" Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis show up. He knows that Dixie has put someone in charge, and that he knows it's not the either of them. Maria says that if anyone should be in charge, it should be her. Bennett then calls out whoever is in charge...and it's Ethan Carter III. EC3 tells Bennett that the rematch between them is on for Slammiversary, and gives him the night off so he can have him at 100%...but he's not off the hook yet. EC3 makes Bennett the janitor for tonight as the head of the custodial department pushes a mop bucket to the top of the entrance ramp, and when Maria complains, EC3 announces that she's getting a job evaluation, and if she doesn't pass, she's fired. When EC3 tells them to get out of the ring, Bennett refuses. EC3 threatens to kick Bennett's ass, and Bennett says he's only leaving because he wants to leave. He kicks the mop bucket as he and Maria leave. Lashley then shows up, and wants to fight EC3. But EC3 reminds Lashley that Drew Galloway will be picking his opponent for him. Drew Galloway then makes an appearance.



"The Miracle" Mike Bennett finds out from Ethan Carter III that he has his work cleaning toilets tonight cut out for him.



Drew Galloway tells Lashley that his opponent for tonight is Bram.

Bram beats Lashley by disqualification after Lashley hits him in the gut with a steel chair. Lashley then hits Bram with two Spears after the match before Drew Galloway rushes into the ring with a steel chair and forces Lashley to retreat. Eli Drake then rushes in and cashes in his King of the Mountain title shot. After a brief match, Eli Drake beats Bram to become the new TNA King of The Mountain Champion.





Raquel tests the focusing ability of The Bro Mans (Robbie E and Jessie Godderz) by walking around the pool in a gold swimsuit.



After cleaning the bathroom, "The Miracle" Mike Bennett finds out his next task is learning how to referee, courtesy of Earl Hebner!



Eli Drake celebrates his new title win with some wine...that nobody else gets to drink.



Matt Hardy has invited us - and "Brother Nero" Jeff Hardy - to his home in North Carolina for the contract signing for the match between him and Jeff Hardy at Slammiversary.



The Bro Mans (Robbie E and Jessie Godderz) beats Rockstar Spud and Tyrus with the Adonis Crab in a match with "The Miracle" Mike Bennett as the (reluctant) special guest referee to become the #1 contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championships.



Jeff Hardy heads to Matt Hardy's home...





Maria finds out from Ethan Carter III that she will be in the ring next for her job evaluation.

Ethan Carter III and Maria are in the ring, and Allie and Sienna are told to leave the ring for the job evaluation. EC3 brings out Gail Kim for the evaluation, and Gail Kim makes it clear that she wants a match with Maria at Slammiversary. Maria refuses, saying she is the leader of the Knockouts division, and EC3 tells Maria she is only a leader in theory and makes the match official. Maria then has no choice but to tell that at Slammiversary, she will kick Gail's ass. EC3 then puts Sienna and Allie in a tag team match right now against Gail Kim...and Jade.



Gail Kim and Jade beat Sienna and Allie.



Jeff Hardy runs into Reby Sky when he makes it to Matt Hardy's house, and she says she's not sticking around. Jeff goes into the house and finds Matt.



"The Miracle" Mike Bennett enters the ring, saying he is sick and tired of refereeing and cleaning toilets and that he is a wrestler and that Maria is not. Ethan Carter III reneges on giving him the night off from wrestling, and puts him in a match against "The Cowboy" James Storm.

"The Miracle" Mike Bennett beats "The Cowboy" James Storm after Maria distracts and slaps Storm. After the match, Ethan Carter III tells Bennett he will beat him at Slammiversary, then leaves Bennett with a Last Call superkcik to the face from Storm.



Al Snow is in the ring. He says he is making wrestling great again, and has some new recruits from London, who he introduces as "his tribunal." Basilie Baraka (formerly Sylvester LeFort) amd Judge Baron Dax (formerly Marcus Louis). They call themselves judge, jury and executioner and will take down anyone in their way, and that they now do it for Al Snow as The Tribunal. Snow says he needed only one wrestling move - the Snow Plow - to beat Grado last week. Grado shows up and says he's lying, saying he needed The Tribunal and weapons to beat him, but Al Snow says the video is doctored, and also makes "your mom" jokes towards him and Mahabali Shera. Shera and Grado brawl with The Tribunal, and Al Snow hits Grado in the back with a chair before doing the same to Shera, allowing The Tribunal to come out on top in this brawl.



We meet Braxton Sutter for the first time, and he tells us about himself. (Braxton Sutter has performed in TNA in the past under his indies name Pepper Parks.)



Matt Hardy has Jeff Hardy follow him outside to a shed and into a ring...



Lashley announces Drew Galloway's opponent: Decay (Crazzy Steve, Abyss, Rosemary).

Drew Galloway beats Decay (Crazzy Steve, Abyss, Rosemary) after Lashley inadvertently Spears Crazzy Steve instead of Galloway.



Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy finally sign their contract for their Slammiversary. As Jeff asks Matt if he really wants to end it where it all began, Reby Sky shows up and tosses Maxel to Jeff...only to reveal that it's a plastic doll and not her real child. Matt then hits Jeff from behind and puts him through a nearby table.
