Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for July 5, 2018

Fenix beats Rich Swann. After the match, oVe (Dave and Jake Crist) rush into the ring and attack Fenix in an attemp to remove his mask and send a message to Pentagon Jr., but Pentagon Jr. shows up and clears oVe out of the ring. Afterwards, Pentagon Jr. kicks Fenix in the groin and hits him with the Fire Thunder Piledriver before revealing that it is really Callihan under the mask. oVe tries to unmask Fenix, and Rich Swann tries to stop them only to be laid out. As Callihan tries to rip Fenix's mask off, the real Pentagon Jr. - with his mask on - shows up and takes out oVe, forcing them to retreat.

Backstage, KM tells Fallah Bahh he screwed up and deserved the beating he got from Scott Steiner, but he is still dedicated to their team and he will prove it tonight.

Madison Rayne says she has faced nearly every Knockout to ever set foot in the Impact Zone, but she knows little about Su Yung. If she plans to step into darkness with Su Yung and her undead bridesmaids, there is nobody else she would rather have in her corner than Allie, who has walked through that darkness and came out through the other side. Allie says Rosemary told her not to let the darkness consume her, and she did. She danced with the devil and paid for it, but she does not regret it and she has learned that you need both light and darkness, good and evil. She tells Su Yung that instead of killing her, she brought another side of her to life.

Killer Kross beats Fallah Bahh with a rear chinlock in his Impact Wrestling debut, then continues to beat on Fallah Bahh. KM tries to fight Kross, but he also gets choked out. "The Canadian Destoyer" Petey Williams shows up and grabs a steel chair, but the strike to the back has absolutely no effect. Petey manages to get away with a chance shot to Kross' face.

Jimmy Jacobs says people around here think he is a bad guy, but he is a good because he tells the truth and has told everyone that Kongo Kong is the monster after he has taken out Abyss and Johnny Mundo, and says the real bad guy is "the Machine" Brian Cage. He says Cage perpetuates the lie that he is "the machine," as he showed a range of emotions after he lost to "Reborn" Matt Sydal and felt pain at the hands of Kongo Kong. He says that Cage is a man, and says Cage will be victimized and brutalized tonight.

This week's classic Slammiversary moment is Sting vs. Rob Van Dam for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Slammiversary VIII.

Backstage, Gama Singh tells The Desi Hit Squad (Rohit Raji and Gursinder Singh) that is not easy to win the world, and that with his guidance, he will take them to the guidance. He then tells them that they must be obedient and must pay attention if they are to run Impact Wrestling, win the tag team titles and bring pride to the people of India by any means necessary.

A new Knockout is coming soon to Impact Wrestling!

Allie and Madison Rayne beat Su Yung and The Undead Maid of Honor. During the match, the undead bridesmaids try to get involved, and when Su Yung goes for the Panic Switch, Rayne's legs inadvertently hit the referee. Rayne hits Cross Rayne, then Tessa Blanchard shows up as the ref is still blinded to attack Rayne from behind. Allie gets in the ring and takes care of Tessa Blanchard, and Rayne hits The Undead Maid of Honor with Cross Rayne to win.

At the Latin-American Xchange clubhouse, Santana, Ortiz and King are playing dominoes. Santana asks King to go easy on Konnan, as they got him and Ortiz off the street. King says he should heave beaten Konnan like he didn't even know him for how Konnan repaid him. King also says that his loyalty got him nowhere, and dares Konnan to produce proof that he took him out. He says that there are snakes everywhere and to keep your grass cut, and while he never intended to take Konnan's spot, sometimes these things happen. He says that if Konnan has proof, he wants to see it.

We see Gama Singh disciplining The Desi Hit Squad (Rohit Raju and Garsinder Singh).

We hear from oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan). Callihan is wearing Pentagon Jr.'s mask, but not for long, and says it smells like "so much bullshit" as he takes it off. He tells Pentagon Jr. that he could have stayed out of their business until Slammiversary, but he had to go out and save Fenix and Rich Swann, ruining everything. Next week, there will be a six-man tag match, and they will be lucky if they do not take Pentagon Jr. and Fenix's masks as well as Rich Swann's entire face. He then says he will take everything from Pentagon Jr. at Slammiversary.

We see a video package of Austin Aries' journey to Slammiversary XVI.

At the Latin-American Xchange clubhouse, Konnan is on the phone with somebody, saying he will expose King for the fraud that he is. When that happens, the war games will begin.

We hear from Tommy Dreamer, who says he has tried so hard and has not yet succeeded at a lot of things. He has learned from those failures, as he had guys like Terry Funk, Mick Foley and Paul Heyman. He says Eddie Edwards has it all and is throwing his career way on an obsession over Sami Callihan. He doesn't wanted to come home to a busted-up face, and he has never turned his back on or betrayed anybody. He also says he carries a lot of baggage, but he just wants to give everything for the business and help others get to the next level because there were men and women who opened the doors for him. He tells Eddie to get a grip on reality, and that if Eddie has an obsession with Callihan, then he has an obsession with Eddie, because nobody busts his forehead open on his own show.

Eddie Edwards vs. Tommy Dreamer in a House of Hardcore Rules Match is now official for Slammiversary XVI.

Next week: DeAngelo Williams will have an update on Moose!

Katarina beats Rebel.

Backstage, Grado congratulates Katarina on her victory tonight, and Katarina surprises Grado with Joe Hendry, who announces that he is now in Impact Wrestling.

"The Machine" Brian Cage beats Kongo Kong.

Konnan shows up and calls King out so they can clear the air. King shows up with Santana and Ortiz, and Konnan says he is not so mad about King putting a hit on him, and that what really pisses him off is that this all happened after everything he did for him. King asks Konnan where his proof is. Konnan says that the phone calls to him from the hospital never happened, and after calling King "a walking, talking glory hole," he says that the more things change, the more things stay the same, and King was a "punk-ass bitch" then and a punk-ass bitch now. King then admits that he put the hit on Konnan, much to the surprise of Santana and Ortiz, because Konnan is the past and he is the future. He tells Konnan that he does not need his help anymore, and that he should walk out in the sunset before he gets put out of his misery out back like Ol' Yeller. King says he did what he had to do for the group, and thanks to him, the tag titles came back and the money came up. He tells Santana and Ortiz that Konnan is the past and that he is the future, but Santana and Ortiz flip him off. Konnan tells King that he didn't get the job done, but King asks "Did I...or didn't I?" All of a sudden, Homicide and Hernandez - two of the original members of LAX - attack Santana and Ortiz from behind while King chokes Konnan out with the Puerto Rican flag. Members of security try to get involved, but Hernandez lays them out. The Mexican and Puerto Rican flags as well as an LAX shirt are all draped on top of Konnan, Santana and Ortiz, and King tells them that when you come at the King, you'd best not miss. He then proclaims that he, Hernandez and Homicide are LAX.
