Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for August 25, 2016

Ethan Carter III and Drew Galloway meet on a rooftop...



Lashley guests on commentary for the next match, and "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero gives up his seat for Lashley begrudgingly.

"The Miracle" Mike Bennett wins an open invitational battle royal, last eliminating Moose and Eddie Edwards simultaneously, to earn a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.



Drew Galloway tells Ethan Carter III that he has cost him the World title three times.

Moose is angry with "The Miracle" Mike Bennett for what he did in the battle royal, and Maria Kanellis-Bennett gets the cameraman out of there.



"Broken" Matt Hardy shows up. In his hand is as he talks about his broken brilliance. Brother Nero shows up soon after. When Matt asks Nero why he's here, he says he's here to work. He then says he wants Decay (Rosemary, Crazzy Steve, Abyss) rendered obsolete. Rosemary shows up, saying that Matt Hardy cares too much what people think of him and gave up on that long ago. She says Decay gave up on that long ago, and that they have something The Hardys want but can't have. Abyss shows up and says he can't wait to destroy the Hardy legacy, and Crazzy Steve tells Matt Hardy and Brother Nero they have a lot to lose...and that they will shatter them. After Steve says The Hardys won't see Decay coming, Matt Hardy says he knows who tried to kidnap his son Maxell, and that he will eat them. Abyss then says he wants Matt Hardy in one more match, but Brother Nero attacks Abyss and Abyss gets Nero instead.

Abyss beats Brother Nero after Crazzy Steve accidentally spits red mist into Abyss' eyes, "Broken" Matt Hardy bites Steve for being the man in his premonition and Rosemary spits green mist in Brother Nero's eyes. After the match, he tells Decay that their day of deletion will come at his hands. He then tells Brother Nero that his airborne attacks cost everything, and says that they will not cost him the tag team titles. He tells Brother Nero to stop fighting him, realize that he is broken and learn to embrace his brokenness.



Maria Kanellis-Bennett finds out Billy Corgan went over her head and made a Knockouts title match against someone who stuck their nose in last week's match...and says there may be more than one person to take on...



Lashley meets "The Miracle" Mike Bennett backstage. He plans to beat Lashley for the World title, but Lashley says his reliance on help will backfire on him. Bennett says that Lashley should be worried about him, but Lashley tells him he should be worried about Moose.



Allie beats Sienna, Marti Bell, Jade and Madison Rayne in a no-disqualification match to win the TNA Knockouts Championship after Marti Bell knocks Allie out with the steel baton, sending her crashing into a downed Madison Rayne for the accidental pinfall.



Aron Rex says he wants to make an impact in TNA, and asked to be the special guest referee for Ethan Carter III vs. Drew Galloway. By the end of the night, one man will be Bound for Glory, and he guarantees it.



Ethan Carter III tells Drew Galloway he's not World champ because he lost.

Allie is ecstatic that she is TNA Knockouts Champion, but she never considered what Maria would think.



Ethan Carter III and Drew Galloway meet on a rooftop. Drew Galloway tells Ethan Carter III that he has cost him the World title three times, even though he knows he didn't mean to do it. Ethan Carter III tells Drew Galloway he's not World champ because he lost. Galloway is looking forward to Bound For Glory, but Ethan Carter III tells Galloway he's going to hit Galloway as hard as Galloway hits him. They have a whiskey toast, then Galloway pushes EC3 into the pool, signifying that the two are friends again.



Moose runs into Lashley, who asks him to swing by for dinner to discuss his future.



It's time for Fact of Life with Eli Drake with the X Divison as special guests. He wants the King of the Mountain title back, but knows it's not going to happen because TNA management are dummies. Next week, there will be a new X Division champion, and asks everyone in the ring who they think have no chance at winning the title. Rockstar Spud says it's Braxton Sutter, who calls him a blubbering crybaby who wears braces. Spud goes off on everyone else before saying he will win the title and Eli Drake cuts him off. DJ Z says Eli and Lashley have no idea what the X Division is all about, and says that he will be the one person in the X Division who will beat Lashley. Eli Drake hits the dummy button repeatedly, and DJ Z dares him to hit it one more time. When he is about to, DJ Z pushes the table down and everybody brawls.



Next week: An X Division Championship Gauntlet Match! "The Miracle" Mike Bennett vs. Lashley for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship!

Ethan Carter III beats Drew Galloway after reversing a Future Shock DDT into a jackknife pin to continue on to Bound For Glory in a match with Aron Rex as special guest referee. After the match, Aron Rex congratulates Drew Galloway for a valiant effort only for Galloway to viciously attack him.
