Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for January 12, 2017



The Broken Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy" and Jeff Hardy) tell The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) that the hunt will be rendered obsolete, and they will prove it tonight as they delete The Wolves as mandated by the Seven Deities.



Ethan Carter III shows up. He sits near a few people in the crowd, saying he wanted one clean title match last night, but he couldn't get it because of Lashley bringing in a chair and Davey Richards hitting him with it. He says that The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) are in collusion, and call them out for costing him the World title. Instead, he gets Lashley. Lashley says he'll do whatever it takes to win the World title, and EC3 won't. He then says Eddie Edwards stuck his nose in their business and screwed them both over. However, he wants to eliminate EC3, and proposes a Last Man Standing match for #1 contendership. After asking the Anthem Owl for guidance, EC3 says he doesn't want the match tonight, he wants it right now. Lashley and Ethan Carter III brawl briefly before referees rush in to pull them apart.



Lashley beats Ethan Carter III in a Last Man Standing match to become #1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

We see footage of someone putting a ring on their pinkie and then sticking it out.

Next week: Race for the Case! There are four cases to fight for, and the contents of each case will be revealed on Open Fight Night in two weeks!



Eli Drake and Tyrus raise a ruckus, and through a backstage stand, Eli Drake says that he is taking his voice away from the fans before announcing he will win the Race For The Case. He then beats up the backstage hand.



Rockstar Spud, dressed in a light blue doorman's uniform, introduces Aron Rex, who is in a white robe. Aron Rex says that a few months ago, he had an epiphany: nobody has paid for the sole purpose of seeing him perform in the ring. As he takes off his robe, Robbie E shows up, asking what the heck the fans are looking at, then questions why Spud is still here before saying that it's a new beginning in TNA yet Aron Rex is still the same old jackass. This earns him a two-on-one beating from Aron Rex and Rockstar Spud, which ends with Aron Rex knocking Robbie E out with his ring-adorned fist.





The DCC ("The Cowboy" James Storm", Bram, Eddie Kingston) says it's a new year, but some memories can never be forgotten. Bram can't forget Decay (Rosemary, Abyss, Crazzy Steve) kidnapping him and leaving him in the boot of a car. Kingston says he has 15 years of memories of people saying he is too violent and doesn't belong in the business, but now he has found a place in the DCC. Storm says the devil whispered in his ear that he can't handle the storm, before saying he is the storm and they are the Death Crew Count.



Allie is backstage when Maria Kanellis-Bennett confronts her yet again. She tells her she will never be a wrestler and cannot get it through her head, and that "The Miracle" Mike Bennett will put Braxton Sutter in a body cast and end their relationship.



Decay (Crazzy Steve and Bram) vs. The DCC (Eddie Kingston and Bram) end when the match gets out of control. Both teams continue to fight each other all over the ring.

The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) talk about how they have a match for the tag team titles on their first match back. Davey apologizes to Eddie for what happened last week.



McKenzie Mitchell interviews the returning Brooke. She took time away to heal, spend time with family and even start one of her own. Now she is back full-time as a member of the Knockouts roster, and can't wait to meet the new faces and take back the Knockouts Championship. She returns next week.



Braxton Sutter beats "The Miracle" Mike Bennett with a surprise jackknife pin after Maria forces Allie to watch Bennett mercilessly destroy Sutter only for Bennett to pay for wasting too much time putting him away.



"The Miracle" Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis-Benett talk backstage, and blame tonight's loss and 2017 not being their year on Allie. When Bennett tells Maria that she owns Allie and that Allie does anything she tells her to, Maria gets an idea...



Before the next match, Rosemary says that Gail Kim and Sienna were but the first, and that Decay will spread like a virus until the Knockouts feel, taste and become the darkness. Suddenly, Jade shows up and says she's still here, then tells Rosemary that she wouldn't be champion if it weren't for the mist. Jade then demands a rematch for the Knockouts Championship. Rosemary laughs, and invites her to a Monster's Ball match. Jade says Rosemary is a monster, but so is she, and accepts the invitation. As Jade leaves, Rosemary tries to attack her with the Knockouts title, but Jade sees it coming. This starts a brawl where Jade comes out standing tall.



The Broken Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) retain the TNA World Tag Team Championships against The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) after Davey Richards gets upset with Eddie Edwards for taking care of Matt Hardy on the outside, leading to miscommunication between the two of them.
