Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 14, 2018

We see footage from earlier today of Moose entering the arena.



Before the next match can take place, Eddie Edwards shows up and strikes Grado with a Kendo stick before scaring Katarina out of the ring. He then takes a microphone and says that last week, he had Sami Callihan beaten and bloodied, and he was about to kill Callihan and end him once and for all until Tommy Dreamer ruined it, saying that everyone loves him and that he has everyone fooled. He calls out Tommy Dreamer so he can expose him as a thief and a schemer, and Dreamer shows up. Dreamer tells Eddie to calm down, but Eddie says he will take the show hostage until he does what he has to do. He tells Tommy he ruined his chance from ending Callihan, but Dreamer says that he stopped him from making the biggest mistake of his life as he had beaten Callihan earlier. Eddie says he did not want to beat Calihan; he wanted to end him. Dreamer says he knows how that feels, but he also knows what it is like when friends of him can no longer wrestler and asks if he would change a thing. Dreamer admits he is a hypocrite and that he and the other wrestler didn't know about head injuries back in the day, and says he also obsessed over a man and nearly lost everything. Eddie wants to know why Dreamer won't let him end Callihan, and Dreamer tells him that he has already beaten Callihan and that he should move on, as he has to potential to become Impact World Champion again; instead, he wants to keep being bloodthirsty and ending a man. Eddie says he was going to ride out into the sunset with his wife Alisha Edwards, but now she will not even return his calls. Dreamer says he knows Alisha does not talk to him anymore, and this leads to Eddie pushing Dreamer into a corner and screaming at him not to talk to his wife. Dreamer pushes him away and tells him to move on, and when Dreamer tries to help him up, Eddie responds with a Kendo stick shot to the head before leaving.



Backstage, Tommy Dreamer is met by Scott D'Amore, who says that he is taking care of everything, but Dreamer says he is not, and he tells him to "check [his] boy" before saying that he is out of here.



Taya Valkyrie beats Rebel. After the match, Taya Valkyrie asks everyone to give Madison Rayne a round of applause for returning to the Impact Zone, then says it has been a really long time since Madison has been here, and that things are different and that this is her kingdom. Next week, she will show her and "all these idiots" why she is not only lucha royalty but also Knockouts royalty.





The GWN Flashback Moment of the Week is a match between AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and Chrostopher Daniels, where AJ Styles wins the TNA X Division Championship for the fifth time.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews "Reborn" Matt Sydal, who admits that "The Machine" Brian Cage is a big man. However, he sees things from a higher perspective and that Cage's strength is a facade. He says he could have shown him the path to inner strength, and knows that his path is the path to enlightenment, and a path where the universe conspires in one's favor.



We hear from oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan). Sami Callihan says things might now have went as planned last week, but he calls last week a win as Eddie Edwards has lost his mind, and he will eventually lose his wife Alisha Edwards before lsoing everything else. Tonight, they have a different agenda, as Jake Crist will take out El Hijo del Fantasma as they take people out and do what they want because they are for Ohio, by Ohio and taking over everything.



The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley) beat KM and Fallah Bahh after Caleb rakes Fallah Bahh, causing a blinded Bahh to hit KM with a Samoan Drop. After the match, KM yells at Fallah Bahh and pushes him to the mat before telling him "You'll always be a goddamn loser! I'm done!"



We see a video package of the events leading to tonight's match between Eli Drake and Moose, with the winner facing Austin Aries for the Impact World Championship at Slammiversary XVI.

At the Latin-American Xchange clubhouse, everyone is playing cards when King announces that Santana and Ortiz have a shot at the Impact World Tag Team Championships, and that there will be more money coming in when they win. Diamante hesitates to join in the toast to the tag team title shot at first, but eventually joins in. After Diamante, Santana and Ortiz leave, Santana becomes serious for a moment and puts his feet up on the storage box that is used as a table and says to himself "The world is mine."



For House of Hardcore, Moose beats Eli Drake to face Austin Aries for the Impact World Championship at >Slammiversary XVI.



Tessa Blanchard beats Kiera Hogan in a no-disqualification match.



We see a video package chronicling the recent events concerning the series of backstage attacks over the last few weeks.

El Hijo del Fantasma beats Jake Crist with a roll-up. After the match, Dave Crist picks El Hijo del Fantasma back up outside of the ring, but El Hijo del Fantasma fights back until Sami Callihan shows up and strikes him with a baseball bat. The Crist brothers then get El Hijo del Fantasma up to take his mask off when the lights suddenly go dark and Pentagon Jr. shows up. Pentagon Jr. takes down both Crist brothers before staring down with Sami Callihan. Callihan then retreats.



"Reborn" Matt Sydal retains the Impact X Division Championship by count-out. During the match, Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong show up and watch from the ramp. When the match goes to the outside, Kongo Kong attacks Cage from behind after Cage gets Sydal back into the ring and sends him back into the steel steps, handing Cage his first-ever loss.



"The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams is arrested when he is seen by Sonjay Dutt dropping the red card with the X in a circle on Fallah Bahh. A security guard handcuffs Petey and carries him off to the side, then proceeds to beat him up before telling him he is under arrest for the crimes he should have committed. He then proceeds to choke Petey out with his nightstick before revealing a bunch of tattoos on his back and laying the red card with the black X in a circle on Petey. He then turns to the camera, says "You should probably call the police," and leaves, revealing that he is the mystery attacker.



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