Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for January 3, 2019

Rich Swann, Willie Mack and The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz) beat "Reborn" Matt Sydal, "All Ego" Ethan Page and oVe (Sami Callihan, Jake Crist, Dave Crist). After the match, Callihan attacks Willie Mack with a baseball bat before demanding that Jake Crist get a table out from underneath the ring so the three of them can put Willie Mack through it. Afterwards, oVe taunt Rich Swann before leaving.

We see a video package chronicling the recent events between Eddie Edwards and Moose.

Eli Drake shows up with a paddle. He says the conspiracy continues, because Impact management does not think highly of him after the last few weeks. He says there is no chance of Abyss showing up after what he did to him, and says Impact can do all they want to intimidate and scare him, for he is a survivor and adapter to become exactly what he hates to beat anyone he wants at their own game, for he is a dying breed, he is that good and he is hardcore. Suddenly, Tommy Dreamer shows up with a steel chair and fends off Eli Drake before hitting a DDT. As Tommy puts Eli Drake's head through a steel chair, the lights go out. When they come back on, Raven is in the ring. Dreamer tells Raven to get out, then Eli Drake tells Raven to fight Dreamer. Raven and Dreamer then attack Eli Drake instead and stand together.

Before the next match, Gama Singh dedicates the match to "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux. After Fallah Bahh and KM make their entrance, Scarlett shows up and sits on a chair on the stage to watch the match.

Fallah Bahh and KM beat The Desi Hit Squad (Rohit Raju and Raj Singh).

We hear from The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix). Pentagon Jr. says that The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) are brothers like them and that they are a lot alike, but since Konnan left their corner, they have been nothing but trouble they have not learned how to communicate. He says that Konnan was right when he said it would not be a friendly match at Homecoming, and ever since he showed Santana zero fear and Santana pushed, he has crossed the line of respect. At Homecoming, it is not just for the tag titles; it is for pride, honor and respect which will all go out the window they become tag team champions. Fenix tells Santana he will really beat him and that LAX will be wrestling the best tag team in the world who will sacrifice everything in the ring to win the titles.

Allie beats Kiera Hogan. After the match, Allie and Su Yung attack Kiera, then Jordynne Grace shows up and fights off Allie and Su Yung at the same time before helping Kiera out of the ring.

In footage from earlier today, Trevor Lee confronts Impact management and demands a match after watching people who he says can't compete at his level. Scott D'Amore and Don Callis give him a match for tonight.

We hear from The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz), who say that all they ever wanted to do was to become professional wrestlers, and growing up, everyone else wanted to be a basketball player, rapper, or hustler on the street corner, but not them. Their drug of choice was pro wrestling, and they were the ones who found the school and went to work just to live their dreams. Ortiz says that he was the one to pick Santana up when times were tough, and that Santana did the same for him. He says that they know they are something else, but the one time Konnan was not in their corner, they lost. He says that they have to fact the fact that Konnan is not always going to be there for them, and that they need to prove to him, the fans, themselves and everyone else that they can do this on their own. Santana says Konnan is worried they will break up the family, but time and time again, they have proven that they are better. They wanted to be one of the best, and they now stand as one of the best in Impact Wrestling. He asks how they could have gotten back to the block, their city and his daughter if they did not give a title shot to The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix), and at Homecoming, they will make history.

Trevor Lee's opponent is revealed to be Killer Kross.

Killer Kross beats Trevor Lee with the Kross Jacket. After the match, Kross address Johnny Impact, wishing him luck in his match against "The Machine" Brian Cage at Homecoming and to do whatever it takes to win. He says that sometimes it feels like he is not getting through to Johnny, and shows what happens when diplomacy fails by grabbing the timekeeper, taking him to the corner, pulling a cinder block from and asking the timekeeper to hold the block up to Trevor Lee's head so he can punch through it and send his fist into Trevor Lee's face. After scaring the timekeeper to the point that the timekeeper runs away through the crowd, Kross then says "I'll be watching, John! Don't disappoint us!"

During the break, Impact referees and management help Trevor Lee to the back.

At Homecoming: Sami Callihan vs. Willie Mack! Allie and Su Yung vs. Kiera Hogan and Jordynne Grace!

This week's GWN Flashback Moment of the Week is Jerry Lynn vs. Sean Waltman (as Syxx-Pac) from Sacrifice 2005.

The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix) beat "The Machine" Brian Cage and Johnny Impact following miscommunication between Cage and Johnny. After the match, Cage and Johnny argue in the middle of the ring. age tries to leave, but Johnny drags Cage back into the ring, starting a brawl between the two men. Referees have to run in to break the brawl apart, but they are quickly overpowered before Cage and Johnny begin brawling again. Security runs in to separate both men, and they end up having to pull Cage off of Johnny. Suddenly, the impact locker room have to step in, but Johnny Impact takes out everyone with a double corkscrew off the top rope before both men have to held back on the ramp.

The show ends with the cold open for Homecoming.
