Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 21, 2018

The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) beat Z&E (DJ Z and Andrew Everett) to become the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions!

Backstage, Jimmy Jacobs says "The Machine" Brian Cage walks around like he owns the place and that he can do what he wants without consequence. Jimmy says he is the one who always gets what he wants, and what he wanted is to prove that Cage is beatable. Now he wants to show the world that Brian Cage is no match for Kongo Kong.

We see a video package chronicling the events between Fallah Bahh and KM.

KM shows up. He says he tried to take Fallah Bahh underneath his wing, and when he is here, ratings go up. He says that he is bigger than Impact Wrestling, and that the company should be renamed "KM-Pact Wrestling," as it is all about him and he was trying to make it about him, too. He calls out Fallah Bahh so that he can face him, and Bahh shows up. Fahh pulls out a note from his trunks, then says goodbye to KM and struts away. KM reads the note, which tells him that he is a bully, that he needs to grow up, and that instead of facing him, he will be facing a wrestler on stand-by. KM accepts the challenge, assuming that he is facing "The Stand-By Wrestler" Richard Justice. Instead, he gets Scott Steiner.

Scott Steiner beats KM with the Steiner Recliner.

We see footage of the Slammiversary XVI press conference in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. During the press conference, Austin Aries announces that he is merging the Impact Grand Championship into the Impact Wrestling World Championship.

It is announced that Impact Wrestling will soon be appearing on 52MX in Mexico starting in July, with details to come on Impact Wrestling's website.

In Boston, Massachusetts, Eddie Edwards tries to return home only to find out he is locked out. He breaks into the home only to find out that the place is empty and barren and that his wife Alisha Edwards is nowhere to be seen. When he looks into a mirror, he sees Sami Callihan looking at him with his thumb pointed downward. He breaks the mirror, blaming Sami Callihan for everything he has lost.

We see camera footage from oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan). Callihan says he is sick and tired of people sticking their noses into their business. He says that they had El Hijo del Fantasma where they had him until Pentagon Jr. showed up, and that they are going to make an example out of him. Tonight, the Crist brothers go to war against El Hijo del Fantasma and Pentagon Jr., and that Pentagon Jr. and El Hijo del Fantasma will get their asses kicked.

Madison Rayne beats Taya Valkyrie. After the match, Madison says it always exciting to come back home to Impact Wrestling, and admits that this has been quite a return as she did not intend to be an in-ring competitor. However, everything happens for a reason, and reasons are meant to be capitalized upon, and in the last couple of weeks, she has been creating career moments by beating some of the toughest women she has ever stepped into an Impact ring with. She then says that management has promised her that if she could defeat Taya, they would give her one more opportunity to make a moment for herself. She says she will take that moment not just for herself, but for her daughter at home as well as the fans who have supported her over the years. At Slammiversary XVI, she will beat Su Yung and become a six-time Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion. Suddenly, Su Yung makes her presence known when the lights go out and a picture of the moon is on the TitanTron, with Su Yung's laughter heard throughout the arena.

At the Latin-American Xchange clubhouse Santana and Ortiz celebrate their tag team title victory with King and Diamante. All of a sudden, Konnan returns, and tells King that they need to talk. King tells Konnan that all five boroughs in New York City have been looking into who took Konnan out of action, and that Homicide is in Brooklyn will call him when he finds anything out. Konnan thinks that King may have something to do with the attack on him, and tells him that his ambitions sometimes overrides his intelligence. Konnan says that if he finds out he has something to do with the attack on him, he will find him unless he somehow jumps off the Earth's gravitational axis and leaps into a black hole.

We find out that the mystery attacker is known as Killer Kross (who has also been known as Kevin Kross). Kross says that fear is a funny thing, as it is meant for the art of survival. Somewhere in society, however, fear became something to be embarrassed about, and that there is a difference between being courageous and being intelligent. Kross says he has a body of work to show, and that the big question that everyone is asking was "Why?" He says that the answer is simply "Why not?" and that there is no continuity in the universe; only mayhem. He encourages everyone to exercise a little fear within the circumstance, as he wants to turn the wrestling industry upside down and divebomb it on its head to see where the pieces fall, for he is the new beginning.

Coming soon: The Desi Hit Squad!

The GWN Flashback Moment of the Week is Sonjay Dutt vs. Low Ki for the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship in Mumbai, India.

El Hijo del Fantasma and Pentagon Jr. beat oVe (Dave and Jake Crist). After the match, Sami Callihan attacks Pentagon Jr., and takes out Eli Hijo del Fantasma before planning to do the same to Pentagon Jr. Pentagon Jr. fighs back, kicking Sami Callihan in the groin. He is about to break Jake Crist's arm when Callihan hits him with his baseball bat and chokes him with him. He then hits Pentagon Jr. in the site of the head before tearing at the mask of Pentagon Jr. All of a sudden, El Hijo del Fantasma is back up, and he rushes into the ring with a steel chair in his hands, forcing oVe and Sami Callihan to retreat.

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