Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for February 22, 2018

The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley) beat The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) after Trevor Lee pulls down Ortiz's shorts during a jackknife pin.



"The Machine" Brian Cage quickly beats Hunter Law.



In the locker room, Eddie Edwards tells Lashley they don't have to like each other, but they have a common goal and that they are both sick and tired of oVe (Jake and Dave Crist), and they should go out and there and fight. Lashley agrees.



In Mississauga, Ontario, Canada for Destiny World Wrestling, "Reborn" Matt Sydal retains the Impact Grand Championship against Petey Williams after countering the Canadian Destroyer into a piledriver. After the match, Sydal mentions that before the match, he received a scroll. It is a proclamation from his spiritual adviser: on March 8 at Crossroads, he will face Taiji Ishimori for the Impact X-Division Championship.



Jimmy Jacobs says he and Kongo Kong did want to be any louder or clearer, but Joseph Park forced them to take it as far as they did. He says that tonight is the night that Abyss will walk down the ramp and get in the ring against Kongo Kong.

Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong show up. Jimmy says he does not care what other people think of him, but he is a good guy, not a bad guy. He says he politely asked Joseph Park to bring out Abyss, and that they did not want to decimate Chandler Park, but Joseph Park forced their hand. Jimmy then says he is done talking to Joseph Park, and that he is now going to talk to Abyss, and asks where Abyss is. All of a sudden, an old woman shows up, and she is immediately identified as Grandma Jenny. She immediately calls them "sissies," and says she has had enough of how they have treated his grandson Joseph Park, whom she says is like a son to her. She tells Jimmy to "stop [his] habit or else." Jimmy gives her credit for having more guts than Joseph, but says he asked for Abyss and not "some old hag." This immediately earns Jimmy a slap in the face, which leads to Jimmy sicking Kongo Kong on her. Suddenly, Joseph Park shows up and confronts Jimmy, then gives Grandma Jenny belated thanks for the Thanksgiving dinner. Jimmy tells Joseph he asked for Abyss, not for him. Joseph tells him one more time that Abyss is never coming after all that Abyss has done and that he would stay buried. Jimmy tells Joseph that Chandler was just the beginning and that he would hate it if something would happen to Grandma Jenny. Joseph then tells Jimmy that Grandma Jenny taught him to never lay his hands on another man, but in this case, he will make an exception. Joseph grabs Jimmy, but he is attacked from behind by Kongo Kong. Jimmy once demands that he get Abyss or else as Kongo Kong pummels Joseph in front of Grandma Jenny, then eventually pulls Kongo Kong off Joseph Park.



Backstage, "Reborn" Matt Sydal talks to his spiritual adviser, telling them that he has read their proclamation and that he will become a dual champion.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Ethan Carter III and Tyrus. EC3 says Tyrus has returned, and compares Tyrus to The Incredible Hulk while he fancies himself a combination of Captain America and Iron Man. Tyrus tells EC3 not to sell himself short, and adds Thor. EC3 agrees, as he considers himself to be "pretty godlike," then says that when a relationship goes horribly wrong, the best thing to do is get back together. Tonight, the #1 contendership to the Impact World Championship is at stake, and he will meet Johnny Impact at the crossroads because the #1 contender will be the One Percenter.

Johnny Impact retains #1 contendership for the Impact World Championship against Ethan Carter III. During the match, Tyrus pulls at Johnny Impact's legs as Johnny goes for Starship Pain, and Ethan Carter III tries to take advantage only for Johnny Impact to kick out. Ethan Carter III confronts and shoves Tyrus for letting him down, and Tyrus shoves back harder before leaving EC3 high and dry. Johnny Impact is then able to hit Starship Pain to stay #1 contender for the Impact World Championship. After the match, Austin Aries shows up and shaks hands with Johnny Impact.
