Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 30, 2017

Earlier today, Josh Mathews is left out of the backstage meeting to the point that Bruce Prichard and Jeremy Borash find him extremely annoying. Also, Karen Jarrett shows up and asks everyone to tell Sienna she is looking for her if they see her.



Karen Jarrett shows up to start the show. She is embarrassed and ashamed to talk about Maria Kanellis-Bennett leaving the company, saying that her spot being open has caused some extremely ugly and unprofessional behavior in the Knockouts locker room to the point that bullying is taking place. Karen calls out Sienna, who shows up. Karen says she has not heard one positive word about her anywhere, and says her behavior, actions and words will not be tolerated. Sienna says that Allie is to blame for her being called out, but Karen tells her to step back. Sienna says she got here on her own talent, not through who she married. Karen tells Sienna she doesn't have a clue who she got here, and admits she has done some things in Impact that she regrets, and gives Sienna the chance she never had: 15 seconds to apologize to her face. As Karen counts down, a man shows up and tells Karen to wipe the smile off her face. He introduces himself as "KM," and says Sienna is his cousin and family. He demands Sienna be given respect, and gives Karen 15 seconds to respond to him and his family. Braxton Sutter and Allie shows up, and Sutter brawls with KM until KM and Sienna retreat. Karen Jarrett then puts KM in a match with Sutter later tonight.



The X Division talks about what makes Impact great.

Andrew Everett beats DJ Z by reversing a ZDT into a small package. After the match, Gregory Shane Helms and Trevor Lee show up, and Helms tells Everett he has a long way to go. However, because he is feeling generous, he gives Everett a chance to climb the ladder next week.



Jeremy Borash interviews Rosemary, who says the age of shadow is all-consuming and that the darkness has spawned the greatest Knockouts champ of all time. She says that the Knockouts Division should accept their inevitable decay...then ODB shows up and introduces herself to Rosemary, saying Rosemary wouldn't be standing in the ring if it wasn't for her. She toasts Rosemary for being the champion, but says she will take the title and toast herself. Rosemary leaves the ring saying ODB feels worthy, but "The Hive" disagrees. She is obviously not interested in the match, and the Knockout Division shows up to force her back in the ring. Madison Rayne wants a shot at the Knockouts title, while Brandi Rhodes wants a piece of Rosemary. Diamante, on the other hand, wants to fight, and all the Knockouts have an impromptu fight.



Ethan Carter III shows up. He apologizes for the end of last week's show, saying that Impact has changed and that he must change with it by reasserting his past dominance. He says he must become "the real EC3." He says he will win the World title for a third time and join an elite squad of multiple-time world champs, then "Cowboy" James Storm shows up, asking why he wasn't mentioned. EC3 says Storm won the world title once. Storm tells EC3 that he built Impact while EC3 was in high school and college, then says both of them want to be World champ. Storm then says they both want the World title, and EC3 says the fans should decide who gets the title shot against Lashley. Both men agree on this.



We see a video package about Laredo Kid and Garza Jr. talking about lucha libre and what they plan to accomplish at Impact.



Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend) want to make an impact at Impact.



Moose retains the Impact Grand Championship against Cody Rhodes by split decision. During the first round, Cody Rhodes goes for a superkick on Moose outside of the ring only to accidentally knock out one of the judges. Beofre the third round, Brandi Rhodes tells Cody "I love you more than anything, but you and him are acting like idiots! Kill each other if you want to, I don't give a goddamn!" before storming off to the back.



We see a video package of what has happened between Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards. Next week, both men square off in a Last Man Standing Match.



Eli Drake says that Impact allows for the unexpected to happen, whether it's something you don't expect or up-and-coming stars in the making.



Karen Jarrett gives Jeremy Borash some news: there will be a Knockouts Gauntlet Battle Royal to determine a new #1 contender for the Knockouts title.

KM beats Braxton Sutter after Sienna grabs Allie from behind, distracting Sutter and allowing KM to hit Sutter with a powerbomb into the back of his knees. After the match, Allie fights Sienna, Sutter gets back in the ring to fight KM, and an impromptu tag team brawl takes place until a drunk Laurel Van Ness shows up and screams at Allie and Sutter from the entrance ramp.



The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Homicide, Santana, Ortiz, Diamante) go over their plan for tonight's tag team title match.



The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) beat the team of Laredo Kid and Garza Jr., Decay (Crazzy Steve and Abyss) and Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend) to win the Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Championships!



Here's tonight's episode in 60 seconds!
