Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for April 26, 2018

Austin Aries - now with his right elbow in a sling - meets with the rest of the roster, and says he refuses to make excuses for losing the Impact Wrestling World title before saying that he still has the Impact Grand Championship. Moose says Austin Aries is making a lot of excuses, then tells Austin to go screw himself and leaves. The rest of the roster soon follows.

"The Machine" Brian Cage beats Trevor Lee.

Eddie Edwards is seen making his way to the arena when Tommy Dreamer tells him to go back home. Eddie says oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) is at the arena, and that he has to be here, even arguing with Dreamer over whether or not his wife Alisha Edwards is fine.

Eddie Edwards suddenly shows up unannounced. He says that he put Sami Callihan in the hospital where he belongs at Redemption, but his job is still not done, because the rest of oVe (Jake Crist and Dave Crist) are not in the hospital yet. He then says that if the Crist brothers do not have the balls to face him in the ring, he will get in a car, drive to Dayton, Ohio and put both of their wives in the intensive care unit. It doesn't take long for oVe to show up, but they come after Eddie from behind. Eddie hits a tope suicida, but oVe get the upper hand for a little while. After a clothesline to Jake Crist, Eddie pulls a Kendo stick out from underneath the ring. As he enters the ring, footage plays on the TitanTron of Sami Callihan in a wheelchair hiding his face, entering Alisha Edwards' room and revealing his battered face, telling Alisha "I just wanna talk." Eddie runs to the back.

We see a video package documenting the Impact Wrestling World Championship match at Redemption.

After the match, the fans chant "Happy birthday" to Moose, who congratulates Pentagon Jr. for winning the Impact Wrestling World Championship before telling him that he might be the World champion, but he is "Mr. Impact Wrestling" and the guy who will take the title from him.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews "Reborn" Matt Sydal, who says that his spiritual guide has told him that he does not need him and that he has all of the answers inside of himself. Sydal says he has opened up his third eye, and nobody will be able to take the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship from him as his third eye is open and he is ready to tune in, turn on and take off against Taiji Ishimori next week. Suddenly, a backstage stand shouts for help, and it is revealed that someone has been knocked out with a red card on top of them, with a circle with an X inside of it on the card.

At the Latin-American Xchange clubhouse, Santana and Ortiz try to figure out what to do next now that Konnan has gone missing and they no longer have the Impact Wrestling tag team titles. Santana says that he and Ortiz have to get in contact with every person that they can, including Homicide, but Ortiz says they should be more focused on the titles so LAX does not fall apart. Santana is not convinced, especially since "King" has not called back.

Allie retains the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship against Taya Valkyrie. After the match, several women sharing the same "undead bride" appearance as Su Yung show up carrying a coffin to the ring. They leave the coffin near the ring, and when Allie leans forward to get a closer look, the lights go out. When they come back on, Su Yung is in the ring. She attacks Allie from behind and hits her with a draping double underhook facebuster from the second rope. The lights then go out again, and when they come back on, Su Yung is face-to-face with Rosemary. The lights then go out a third time, and when they come bac k on, Su Yung has disappeared.

Backstage, Fallah Bahh is met by KM, who asks Fallah to hear him out. KM says he regrets fat shaming him and that he did not deserve it. He tells Fallah that he has changed his ways and that he will prove it when he stands side by side with him in a tag team match. Fallah is surprised.

At the hospital, Eddie Edwards looks for his wife Alisha Edwards. He finds her room, where Alisha is resting. Eddie asks Alisha why talk to Sami Callihan, but Alisha asks Eddie why he would leave her here alone. Eddie runs out and finds Sami Callihan, and attacks him in his own hospital bed. Two hospital workers get him off of Sami and tell him that the police are here. Eddie runs off.

Next week: Rosemary vs. Su Yung! Drago, El Hijo del Fantasma and Aerostar vs. DJ Z, Dezmond Xavier and Andrew Everett!

We see a video package chronicling the recent events between Johnny Impact and the team of Kongo Kong and Jimmy Jacobs.

Before the next match, Scott Steiner asks if there was any doubt in anybody's mind when he says he and Eli Drake would become tag team champions, then says the fans can boo all they want as he was trending #6 worldwide because he is world famous. He then says Taco Bell had a discount on burritos and that Konnan showed where his priorities were. Steiner then tells The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) that if they want to take him and Eli Drake on for the tag team titles, then they can get in the ring.

Eli Drake and Scott Steiner retain the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Championships against The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) after Eli Drake counters the Street Sweeper by turning his body in mid-air to hit Santana with a cross body. During the match, it is announced that Eddie Edwards has been arrested by the police after his actions at the hospital. After the match, Eli Drake says his tag team title reign with Scott Steiner is no fluke and that the tag titles are going nowhere, and that as he stands with the tag team titles, he stands with a shot at the Impact Wrestling World Championship. Eli then says it is just about time to cash in his chance at the World title, and puts everyone who thinks they might be carrying the World title any time soon on notice, saying he cannot be stopped. Suddenly, Austin Aries shows up. Aries says he did not come here to cause trouble, as his elbow is still in a sling. After Scott Steiner helps him into the ring, Aries says he has the Impact Grand Championship, and that it is the most important title around at the moment as the man makes the belt. Aries then says that every time he has faced Eli Drake, he has always won, and that whether Eli Drake faces him or Pentagon Jr., the World title will be back around his waist. Eli Drake tells Austin Aries that he came out the winner at Redemption, and that it makes no difference to him who the World Champion is as he will take the World title from them, even if the opponent is Austin Aries. Eli then wishes Aries the best of luck in the world, as he wants Aries to come out with the World title when he cashes in. Suddenly, Pentagon Jr. shows up and says she shows zero fear, then Eli Drake and Scott Steiner attack Aries and Pentagon Jr. Pentagon Jr. comes out on top in the brawl, then Austin Aries and Pentagon Jr. fight over the World Championship. Both men left up the World and Grand Championships up, then Aries leaves and Pentagon Jr. celebrates in the ring to end the show.
