Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for August 31, 2017

Eli Drake and Chris Adonis are seen arriving into the building in footage from earlier today, as is America's Top Team. Scott D'Amore shakes Dan Lambert's hand, then an argument is seen between Jeff Jarrett and Lambert.

Eli Drake and Chris Adonis show up. There are zebra print ottomans and a zebra print couch in the center of the ring. Eli Drake says he has busted his keister all over the world for the last 14 years, and now he is a world champion. However, he is not happy that it took him this long, due to all the politics. After talking about how an older woman approached him by the pool, he says that nobody can stop him now that he is champ, not even Johnny Impact or Jim Cornette. Johnny Impact shows up, and says Eli Drake he can do what he wants, but he speaks for the locker room when he says he is sick of hearing him and wants him to shut up. He, the locker room and the crowd all want Eli to shut up, and says he's had more names than Eli has had titles. Even as AAA Megas Champion, he still wants the Global Championship. Suddenly, Eddie Edwards shows up and says this isn't his first rodeo and that he knows how things work around here. If you want something, you have to speak up, and says he outranks Johnny Impact in this department. He says that the Global Championship belongs to him and wants it back. Johnny says he doesn't care who he has to take to Slamtown first, as long as he becomes champion. He respects Eddie, but tells him he's had his shot. Suddenly, Jim Cornette shows up and says anybody could win the Global Championship at this point. Cornette then makes a tag team match for tonight: Johnny Impact and Eddie Edwards vs. Eli Drake and Chris Adonis. If Eli or Adonis win, Eli doesn't have to defend the title. If they lose, Eli has to defend the Global title against whoever pins Eli.



Allie meets Taryn Terrell backstage, and wants to know what's going on between her and Gail Kim. Taryn Terrell asks Allie to send her a message by beating the heck out of her.

Ethan Carter III shows up, wondering why he's not invited to TripleMania. Turns out, he's defending the Impact Grand Championship against El Hijo del Fantasma.



Petey Williams beats Caleb Konley in his first singles match in the company in eight years. After the match, Trevor Lee - who has accompanied Konley into this match - attacks Williams only to be forced to retreat when Sonjay Dutt runs into the ring.
