Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for September 14, 2017

GFW starts the show by urging people to donate to the American Red Cross to help people affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

We see footage from earlier of America's Top Team showing up, attacking a backstage hand and laughing about it.

Garza Jr. beats Braxton Sutter. Garza Jr. helps Allie to the ring as he leaves, then Sutter yells at her after she checks on him. Allie is sad, and Sutter tries to make up with her, but Allie isn't following him...not yet. Sutter says something, then Allie hesitantly follows Sutter to the back.



Ethan Carter III retains the GFW Impact Grand Championship against El Hijo del Fantasma. After the match, El Hijo del Fantasma has words with judge Hector Guerrera for costing him the deciding vote for Round 3, and grabs him only to be pushed back.





Down in Mexico, Konnan, Santana and Ortiz of The Latin-American Xchange meet up with Homicide and partake in some adult entertainment. At the strip club, Konnan says they have business taken care of and their match for tonight in their pocket.

LAX (Santana and Ortiz) wins the tag team title match against oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) - which also contains two other teams conisting of members of the CRASH! Wrestling roster - with some help from Homicide. After the match, oVe meet LAX elsewhere in the arena. Konnan tells oVe to get out before they make them disappear. The rest of the CRASH! roster isn't as welcoming, either.



Grado beats William Weeks in his farewell match. After the match, Grado says there are no words. Tomorrow, his flight heads to Scotland, and he thanks the GFW fans for everything. Suddenly, Joseph Park shows up. Joseph Park shows up. He announces that his offices have opened up a sports entertainment management division. Grado will be his first client in that division. Park says he has sponsored his visa, allowing Grado to stay. Park hands Grado the paperwork, which Grado signs. Park says it's time to get to work, and find Grado some bookings, photo shoots and podcast appearances so they can make a ton of money, and put some hustle behind that muscle.



Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Johnny Impact. He says there are only a few people in the business who truly innovate. He and Low-Ki are two of them, and says he has wanted a match with him. Now we will have the match, and he will take Low Ki to Slamtown.



Jim Cornette has a meeting with Lashley and America's Top Team. Lashley says he is going back to MMA. Cornette tells America's Top Team to leave the premises, and that if Lashley wants to be released from his contract, all he has to do is beat Moose one-on-one without America's Top Team at ringside.



Trevor Lee beats Sonjay Dutt in a Falls Count Anywhere match to become the GFW X Division Champion after he and Caleb Konley work together to beat him up and Trevor Lee uses a support beam for leverage.



"The Stand-By Wrestler" Richard Justice meets America's Top Team...who promptly beat him up and laugh. The last member to leave lays an America's Top Team on top of a downed Richard Justice.



We see a preview of the first episode of "Global Forged," where we see up-and-coming wrestlers try to work their way into GFW.



Taya Valkyrie makes quick work of Amber Nova in her GFW debut match.



Eli Drake and Chris Adonis say they smell the desperation of the locker room, as Drake is on another level. Now two men have a shot at him and the GFW Global Championship, and they will be watching this match closely.


Johnny Impact beats Low Ki to become the #1 contender to the GFW Global Championship. After the match, Eli Drake shows up and distracts Johnny from the stage, and Johnny is attacked from behind by Chris Adonis. After Adonis puts Johnny out with the Adonis Lock, Eli Drake picks Johnny up and hits him with the Gravy Train.



Jim Cornette asks Lashley to reconsider. He is leaving, and after he faces Moose, he'll return to MMA where he's appreciated.



Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley take a victory lap.



Taya tells Karen Jarrett to take a good, hard look at what she does in the ring, as she is what a true queen looks like.



Lashley is in the ring. Over the last few months, he has had to choose between pro wrestling and MMA. Lashley says he should not have to make that decision, as he can do well at both. However, he has been forced to make it. He has had friends from America's Top Team coming to the Impact Zone to tell him to come back to MMA. Because of that, he is making that decision tonight. He has decided to go back home to America's Top Team and MMA. He says the fans got what they wanted and that tonight is his last night in GFW. He plans to show his dominance one last time, and calls out Moose to the ring so he can face him in a match. Moose shows up and hits Lashley with a cheap shot. This starts a brawl that goes through the crowd, onto the ramp and back into the ring which ends when America's Top Team shows up from out of the crowd and attacks Moose. Security tries to eject America's Top Team from the building, but security fares no better. Referees show up as Lashley and America's Top Team celebrate their handiwork to close out the show.
