Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for November 29, 2018



The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix) beat Rich Swann and Willie Mack. After the match, The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) show up, and Ortiz says that the match was "pure fuego." He says that it also got him thinking who is next for LAX, and asks who could be better than The Lucha Bros. Santana says they have beaten every team Impact has to offer and defended the titles around the world to beat the best the world has to offer, but there is one thing they want to do: give The Lucha Bros. - who he views as brothers - a title shot at Homecoming and give the people what they want. The Lucha Bros. accept the challenge, then both teams raise each other's hands in a sign of sportsmanship.





We see a video package of "The Machine" Brian Cage talking about his match with Johnny Impact for the Impact Wrestling World Championship at Homecoming.

Backstage, Konnan chews out Santana and Ortiz for giving The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix), saying it was not time yet and that he is worried that friendships will be shattered beyond repair after past experiences. Konnan then says he has to take care of something.



Jordynne Grace beats Katarina with a bear hug.



In footage from earlier today, KM apologizes to Fallah Bahh for coming up short against The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz), but says this is not the end of the road and just a minor setback before they go gambling. Seven minutes later, they have lost everything at the casino. Suddenly, "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux shows up and says they were at the top of their list, but now they are at the bottom, and if they want to impress her, there is a lot of competition.

The GWN Flashback Moment of the Week is the Ultimate X Match from April 20, 2017.

Backstage, Tessa Blanchard is met by referee Brandon Tolle that she attacked a few weeks ago, saying that just because she is champion does not mean she cannot put her hands on officials. He says that it is his way out in the ring, and she will learn. When asked if they are clear, Tessa says they are "very clear."

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Tommy Dreamer, who says that Eli Drake is everything he hates about society in 2018, saying Drake has this entitlement where he is always right and that he does not care about anyone else in the business. He mocks Eli Drake for sounding like The Rock as well as blaming everyone else for his mistakes, and says that Drake lost the World title and settled for complacency when he could have been the face of the company. Meanwhile, people will say that he gave everything for this business and that he did everything for Impact while Eli Drake will be looked at as nothing more than a dummy.

Taya Valkyrie beats Ray Lyn by submission. After the match, Taya is attacked from behind by Tessa Blanchard, and when referee Brandon Tolle tells him to get off Taya, Tessa punches him to the mach before choking him.Scott D'Amore, Sonjay Dutt and three referees try to stop her, but Gail Kim - who hasn't been seen in some time - yanks Tessa off Taya and throws her to the corner. Taya then hits Tessa with a Spear, and Tessa retreats.





We see a video package where Johnny Impact talks about his World title defense against "The Machine" Brian Cage at Homecoming. Suddenly, Johnny is approached by Killer Kross, who tries to get Johnny to ally himself with him, but Johnny wants none of it.



The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz) beat Chris Bey and Mike Sydal (Mike Sydal is the brother of "Reborn" Matt Sydal.).



Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Kiera Hogan, who says that Rosemary does not have Allie like she thinks she does, and that Allie did not hurt her when she had the chance and knows that the real Allie would not hurt her. She says that Allie has been with her since the beginning, and they promised that they would have each others' backs no matter what. She tells Allie to fight the darkness and prove that she is stronger than this, and asks her "Please come home."



At Shady Acres in Baltimore, Maryland, Alisha Edwards tells her that she has had him committed to keep him from going to jail for more than 20 years, and says that she has lost him once and does not want to lose him again. When asked why Eddie is not speaking, the doctor says that they are doing everything they can for Eddie and that the medicine takes time to work, and when it levels out in his system, he will be okay again. For now, he needs some rest. Later, Eddie is met by Moose, who brags that he is a better man than Eddie before producing a book about Eddie and asking why recent events aren't covered before saying that while Eddie may eventually get out, he will check on Alisha on the way home, saying that she seems upset.



Next week: qualifying matches for the Ultimate X Match at Homecoming!

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Eli Drake, who says the issue is with Impact Wrestling, not hardcore wrestling, and that nobody seems to understand. He says that he has struck a nerve with Tommy Dreamer, and says that Dreamer has a soft ego who thinks he can stand up to a real man. He says he has already sent a business career to the graveyard, and Dreamer's is going to the retirement home before he buries his career in the ground.

Backstage, "Reborn" Matt Sydal tells Ethan Page that he knew the path to enlightenment was not going to be straight and that it would be fraught with suffering, but he knew that if he looked deep within his third eye, he would eventually find it. Unfortunately, he keeps stumbling along the way. Ethan tells Sydal that the old him would have been furious that Sydal has been losing, but he knows the universe has a plan. Sydal says this is not exactly the right path, and says that the X Division Championship is part of the right path when they face each other to qualify for Ultimate X at Homecoming next week. Sydal says there is a lesson, and Page says that he is willing to learn it.

Tommy Dreamer beats Eli Drake by count-out after Eli Drake allows himself to be counted out at ringside...almost. After the match, Josh Mathews gets word from Impact officials will be restarted and it will be no-disqualification.



Eli Drake beats Tommy Dreamer in a no-disqualification match after putting a steel chair around Dreamer's neck and smacking it with a paddle in response to Dreamer kicking out of the Gravy Train.



Backstage, Eli Drake finds a letter addressed to him after his match with Tommy Dreamer. After reading the contents of the letter, he is incensed.
