Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 17, 2018



Z&E (DJ Z and Andrew Everett) beat Eli Drake and Scott Steiner to become the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions after Scott Steiner inadvertently nails Eli Drake in the head with a steel chair from the outside.



Backstage, Z&E (DJ Z and Andrew Everett) are surprised that they have won the tag team titles after all the injuries they have overcome, and are joined in celebration briefly by "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams as DJ Z says that he and Everett are just getting started.



Madison Rayne is back at Impact Wrestling to provide commentary for Knockouts matches.

Tessa Blanchard beats Kiera Hogan, then continues to attack Kiera after the match. Madison Rayne heads to the ring and goes after Tessa Blanchard, who retreats.





In footage from earlier today, Grado and Katarina confront Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong, with Grado thinking that they attacked Joseph Park. Jimmy denies taking part in the attack on Joseph Park, and says Grado will be laid out if they keep accusing him and Kongo Kong. This leads to Katarina claiming that Grado is not afraid of them and can beat them in a match, and Jacobs accepts the challenge, much to Grado's chagrin.



We see a video package for tonight's Street Fight between Eddie Edwards and Sami Callihan, taped at House of Hardcore.



Pentagon Jr. says that he has a surprise for us: El Hijo del Fantasma, whom he will be teaming with tonight against Austin Aries and "Reborn" Matt Sydal. Fantasma says he will be the next X Division champion when he beats Sydal.



Kongo Kong beats Grado. After the match, Katarina walks away before Kongo Kong sends Grado into the steel steps. Before Kongo Kong can toss Grado into them like he did Johnny Impact, Moose shows up and brawls with Kongo Kong, coming out on top.





Backstage, The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) are conducting business when The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley) show up and mock Konnan's absence, which Ortiz does not take to very well.



In footage from earlier today, Tommy Dreamer tells Eddie Edwards that his feud with Sami Callihan is over after tonight's Street Fight, but Eddie says it is over when he says it is over and when Sami Callihan is no longer breathing.

For House Of Hardcore, Eddie Edwards beats Sami Callihan in a Street Fight. After the match, Eddie chokes Callihan out with a baseball bat, and security runs in to get Sami Callihan to the back while avoiding being smacked with a baseball bat. Tommy Dreamer then shows up to try to talk sense to Eddie Edwards.



For Destiny World Wrestling, "The Machine" Brian Cage beats Facade.



The Global Wrestling Network Flashback Moment of the Week is Austin Aries vs. Brian Kendrick for the TNA X Division Championship at No Surrender 2012.

In footage from earlier today, KM runs into Fallah Bahh and notice he has lost weight. This leads to another montage where KM gives Fallah Bahh a make-over. When they come back to the arena, Fallah Bahh hits on Kiera Hogan.

Next week: El Hijo del Fantasma vs. "Reborn" Matt Sydal for the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship! Moose vs. Kongo Kong! oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) vs. Drago and Aerostar! In two weeks at Under Pressure: Austin Aries vs. Pentagon Jr. for the Impact Wrestling World Championship! Su Yung vs. Allie for the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship! Tessa Blanchard vs. Madison Rayne!

Su Yung and her undead bridesmaids hold a funeral pyre for Rosemary.



El Hijo del Fantasma and Pentagon Jr. beat Austin Aries and "Reborn" Matt Sydal after Pentagon Jr. counters a top rope Shooting Star Press from Sydal with a superkick.
