Alberto El Patron shows up to start tonight's show, and says he is ready to get down to business and ready to fight. He says that he finally has a real champion in Austin Aries, and it does not get any better than them squaring off for the first time in history at Redemption. He then says that he, not Austin Aries, is the greatest man that ever lived, but he already knew that. Alberto is about to leave with Austin Aries shows up. He says that even though he and Alberto come from two different worlds, they are a lot alike: they punch anyone in the face who disrespects them, they love professional wrestling, and they have competed for championship at the highest level. However, Austin Aries calls himself not only the greatest man that ever lived, but also the truth, as there is nobody more real than him in an industry full of fake people. He says that he calls it like it is, and says that when he looks in someone's eyes, he knows what kind of person the person he is looking at is, and says that Alberto is "full of B.S." He then says he hates laying games, as games are for boys, and prefers to handle this like men, and if Alberto wants a shot at him for the Impact Wrestling World Championship at Redemption, he's got it. He then asks that the B.S. be put aside. Alberto says it will happen soon, then asks Aries to meet him face-to-face as he has something to say to him: Aries has something to prove, but he is not the true champion until he beats him. Alberto also says he wants his redemption, and he wants the whole world to see it. He then says he will die for the fans, he wants the world to see it, and he wants Aries at Redemption. Aries admits they both have chips on their shoulders, but his is larger, and when he steps on Alberto's, he will dwarf him. Alberto tells him to enjoy the Impact World Championship while he can, because the title belongs to him. Alberto then asks the production crew backstage to play Aries' music, then heads to the back. Aries stops Alberto for a second, and tells him that he appreciates his appreciation and for acknowledging that he is Impact World Champion, but he asks that Alberto's music play. He then tells Alberto to enjoy his entrance theme, as this will be the opportunity he will hear his theme play last and he will still be Impact World Champion after Redemption.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Petey Williams backstage. Petey says he was here before in the first-ever Feast Or Fired Match when he won the X Division title briefcase and won the title.

He says that from here on out, he will be "The Canadian Destroyer."

He asked to be in the Feast Or Fired match he is a risk-taker, and there is a chance that he could get a shot at any title or getting fired, but he will think about it when he gets there. He plans to become Impact Wrestling World Champion this year.
Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Eli Drake backstage. Eli Drake says he has been fired from just about every job he has ever been in, but he stands holding on to championship titles and briefcases shortly after being fired from every other job, and says that if he is fired, he will only come back stronger.
Allie retains the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship against Sienna. Before the match begins, it is announced that Eddie Edwards is making his way back to the hotel where his wife Alisha Edwards is staying, and that updates will be forthcoming. After the match, Braxxton Sutter shows up, and says that he knows that things have been rough between them and that he is trying to re-evalutate some things in his life. He says that when he closes his eyes to sleep at night, he says that Allie is the most important thing he sees. As he says this, he accidentally calls Allie "Laurel." Braxton says that Allie looks beautiful and that she makes a great champion, and that he loves her. Braxton then proposes that the both of them spend the rest of their lives together, but Allie is having none of it. Suddenly, someone in pink gets in the ring and attacks Allie from behind. That person is none other than independent wrestler Su Yung, who drives Allie onto the top of her head.
Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Ethan Carter III, who says his briefcase holds his destiny and future. Tyrus walks across and says "Hope he gets fired." As EC3 continues to talk, Moose and Richard Justice both walk by and say the same thing, Fallah Bahh walks by and says "no, no, no," then Taiji Ishimori just walks by. Johnny Impact then shows up and says he hopes EC3 gets fired, then Lashley shows up, looks at the camera, and does a throat-slash gesture, indicating that EC3 will be fired.

Jeremy Borash moderates the Feast Or Fired Match briefcase opening. Eli Drake's briefcase (numbered 1) contains a shot at the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Championships, which Eli Drake is not happy about. He tosses the briefcase out of the ring before leaving with it. Petey Williams' briefcase (numbered #2) is a shot at the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship. Ethan Carter III and Moose open their briefcases (#3 and #4, respectively). Moose says "Let's do it," while EC3 says "See you never, Moose!" Moose gets a shot at the Impact Wrestling World Championship, while Ethan Carter III gets the pink slip and is unceremoniously - or ceremoniously, depending on how you look at it - fired. (In reality, Ethan Carter III is leaving Impact Wrestling to head to NXT, having recently signed with WWE.) Ethan Carter III tries to get out of being fired, saying the title belongs to Taiji Ishimori and that he would not pick #3. He then says there is not a man, woman, child or god alive who will not make him open the briefcase. Jeremy Borash opens the briefcase, and Ethan Carter III is fired from Impact Wrestling. EC3 thinks this is a joke, but Borash tells him it is not a joke. Ethan Carter III says this is not how it ends for him, as he is the face of the company and the man who has held the company on his shoulder for the last four years. He says that he is a Carter, and that the company still needs him. After screaming that he is Dixie Carter's nephew, he finally accepts his fate, and says that things like this can light a spark that can carry one to absolute greatness. As the crowd chants "Thank you, Ethan," he quotes the end of The Great Gatsby: "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." EC3 then heads towards the back, then attacks Borash with the briefcase. All of a sudden, "The Machine" Brian Cage shows up, and after one punch from EC3, Brian Cage plows EC3 head-first into the mat to end the show.
Here are the top five moments from tonight's show!
