Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 10, 2018

The show starts with an announcement that Don Callis was supposed to receive a "Comeback of the Year" award from Anthony Carrelli (the real name of WWE alumni Santino Marella) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was then that he was attacked by Sami Callihan in revenge for Callis throwing in the towel on behalf of Eddie Edwards at Wrestlecon and saving Eddie's life. We then see footage where Sami Callihan accuses Callis of robbing him of "the one moment [he] should have had" at Wrestlecon to end Eddie's career once and for all, telling him he will pay. We then see footage of the presentation of the Destiny World Wrestling Comeback Award to Don Callis as well as Callihan's brutal attack on Callis with a baseball bat, then it is announced that senior management of Impact Wrestling are in a meeting to determine the fate of Sami Callihan, which is still ongoing, and that the decision will be announced as soon as it is made.





Z&E (DJ Z and Andrew Everett) beat The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) after DJ Z counters the Street Sweeper with a hurricanrana to Ortiz.



Backstage, Grado stretches with Joseph Park, and Grado tells Joseph Park that his girlfriend will be here. All of a sudden a woman with brown hair shows up. She turns out to be Grado's girlfiend, Katarina. (Katarina is former Impact Wrestling Knockout Winter, who has not been seen in the company since 2012.)



Austin Aries says that things got a little out of hand last week and that he meant it when he wished Eli Drake luck, and that he hopes to reclaim the World title from Eli Drake.

Grado beats Rohit Raju.



It is revealed that Joseph Park has been attacked backstage. Once again, a red card with a black circle with an X inside is left at the scene of the attack.



We see a video package of Tessa Blanchard.



Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Eli Drake and Scott Steiner. Eli says he and Scott Steiner are the greatest tag team to ever grace Impact Wrestling, and tonight, he will cash in his world title shot. The tag team titles mean the world to him, but being world champion means even more. He then says there is a new belt collector in town. Scott Steiner says game recognizes game, and when he said Eli Drake is great, he meant it, and he has Eli Drake's back. Eli appreciates Scott's help, but he wants to handle this on his own.



El Hijo del Fantasma beats Drago, Aerostar and Taiji Ishimori in a four-way match contested under lucha libre rules to become #1 contender to the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship.



Eddie Edwards bursts into the senior management meeting, demanding that Sami Callihan not be fired so he can end Callihan once and for all. Senior management reneges and tells Eddie that Callihan will stay, but tells Eddie not to do whatever he is planning to do within Impact Wrestling.



For House of Hardcore in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Moose beats Kongo Kong by disqualification after Jimmy Jacobs hits Moose in the back with a steel chair, which has absolutely no effect. Moose is about to beat up Jimmy Jacobs when Kongo Kong attacks hm from behind, and Moose quickly comes back on top, sending Kongo Kong out of the ring. Jimmy Jacobs then keeps Kongo Kong at bay.



Backstage, KM gets Fallah Bahh in the best shape of his life. Fallah Bahh exercises until he collapses while KM eats the whole time.



For Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan, "The Machine" Brian Cage beats Takashi Siguira.



The Global Wrestling Network classic match of the week is is the Ultimate X Match at Destination X 2009.

Allie is in her dressing room when a knock on the door is heard. Allie opens the door, then looks down and finds an undead bride doll with a note pinned onto it.

During the match, it is announced that House of Hardcore has offered to host Eddie Edwards vs. Sami Callihan in a Street Fight next week, "The Machine" Brian Cage's world tour continues in Canada, El Hijo del Fantasma faces "Reborn" Matt Sydal for the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship, and Su Yung will host a funeral for Rosemary in which Allie is an invited guest.
