Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 24, 2018



oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) beats Drago and Aerostar by disqualification. During the match, Eddie Edwards is seen entering the arena with a Kendo stick as his wife Alisha Edwards screams at him, telling him his feud with Sami Callihan is over. Eddie heads into the ring and attacks oVe and Sami Callihan, choking Callihan out with his Kendo stick as referees to get him to break the hold. Security has to jump in to pull Eddie off of Callihan. Sami calms down, then smashes all the members of security with the Kendo stick.



Backstage, Alisha Edwards confronts Eddie Edwards, telling him he is becoming like Sami Callihan. Eddie does not care, saying the Street Fight was not enough, that he wants no referee and no ropes, and that it is not over until he destroys him.



The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley) beat The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) after they stop a double-team from LAX and Konley grabs the tights during a roll-up.



Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong. Jimmy Jacobs says Impact Wrestling is a funny place and that people think he is a bad guy, but he is really a good guy and that Grado has been accusing him and Kongo Kong of attacking him. He says that he and Kongo Kong had to go out to the ring and teach Grado a lesson, and that Moose had to stop them as they were righting a wrong. Tonight, he wants to see Kongo Kong break Moose into a million little pieces.



Backstage, KM and Fallah Bahh come across Grado and Katarina. KM is both amazed and mortified that Grado has a girlfriend.



The GWM Flashback Moments of the Week are Mr. Anderson vs. "The Cowboy" James Storm and the final promo for Jeff Hardy vs. Bully Ray on the episode of Impact Wrestling before Lockdown 2012.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Madison Rayne, who was excited to come back to Impact Wrestling. She did not want to come back as a wrestler; she wanted to come back as a commentator. She says the Knockouts division was not built on building, and says that when something like what happened last week takes place, somebody needs to do the right thing. She is then confronted by Tessa Blanchard, who tells her to stay at home before telling her that they should meet face-to-face next time they are both in the ring.



Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Z&E (DJ Z and Andrew Everett). DJ Z says it is surreal that they are champions, especially when Eli Drake and Scott Steiner were twice their size, and that they have proven that they can hang with the rest of the tag team division. Everett says that time and time again, they have been painted as the underdogs, but every dog has its day. Suddenly, Scott Steiner and Eli Drake, and Steiner says Z&E only won because they "slipped on a banana peel" and that they could not beat him and Eli Drake ten times out of ten. Eli Drake tells Scott Steiner to calm down and that they will get the titles eventually, but when Steiner says that if Eli Drake had been at the right place at the right time, none of this would be happening. This leads to an argument between Eli Drake and Scott Steiner that sees Scott Steiner walking away.



"Reborn" Matt Sydal retains the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship against El Hijo del Fantasma.



At the Latin-American Xchange clubhouse, Santana and Ortiz are angry about the lack of answers concerning the disappearance of Konnan as well as their losing streak. Finally, the person known as King - who is none other than former DCC member Eddie Kingston - shows up and tells them that Konnan has been attacked, but he is in a safe place and Homicide is with him. He tells him that shipments are good and that he has everything under control, and reminds them that the streets are watching LAX. He tells them to step their game up and bring back the hunger that they had before they were tag team champions.



We see a video package chronicling the recent events involving Austin Aries and Pentagon Jr. and previewing their match for the Impact Wrestling World Championship next week at Under Pressure.



Dezmond Xavier beats Petey Williams to face "The Machine" Brian Cage next week at Under Pressure. Petey Williams raises Dezmond Xavier's hand in victory after the match.



We see footage of Allie in her dressing room interspersed with Su Yung's funeral for Rosemary. Allie is then seen putting on a black hood, and she is wearing the same facepaint as Rosemary. She then grabs a crucifix that has been sharpened into a stake and walks out. The words "-B, DON'T LET THE DARKNESS CONSUME YOU! -R" are seen written on the dressing room mirror as Allie is heard saying "I'm sorry...I know this isn't what you want, but this is how it has to be."



Jimmy Jacobs is mysteriously absent as Kongo Kong - who repeatedly looks towards the backstage area - heads to the ring before the next match.

Moose beats Kongo Kong. During the end of the show, the show is mysteriously taken over by a video package containing the circle with the X in it as well as footage of the mystery person's past backstage victims. It is then revealed that Jimmy Jacobs has been laid out backstage and that a red piece of paper with the circle-X symbol is laid next to him.





Here are the top five moments from tonight's show!
