Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 22, 2019



Moose beats Trey Miguel.



We hear from oVe (Sami Callihan, Jake Crist, Daeve . Callihan says Rich Swann could have a family who would have had his back, but he turned his back on them. He promises that after they take care of Willie Mack, it will be just him and Swann and he will take everything away from him. Callihan then proclaims that he will take the X Division title tonight.

Backstage, Melissa Santos interviews Tessa Blanchard, who says she is just getting started and that she has talked to her lawyers, saying Impact is completely responsible for Gail Kim's actions last week. She demands Gail Kim apologize to her for everything she has done to her, and that Impact relinquishes Gail Kim of her duties, for she is no longer welcome here.

Eli Drake and Eddie Edwards beat Fallah Bahh and KM after Eddie tosses Kenny the Kendo stick to Eli Drake as he distracts the referee, which allows Eli Drake to smack Fallah Bahh with a Kendo stick.



Rolando Melendez interviews Johnny Impact and Taya Valkyrie about their actions last week outside of the arena. Johnny tells him to "buy a ticket and find out like the rest of the marks."

The GWN Flashback of the Week is Fenix vs "The Machine" Brian Cage for the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship at ReDefined.

Backstage, Rolando Melendez is pushed into a trash can by Taya Valkyrie as he looks for answers from Johnny Impact and Taya for their actions from last week.

Backstage, Willie Mack tells Rich Swann he has his back tonight. Swann thanks him for that, and tells him that it's just between him and Sami Callihan. As Willie Mack says he will take care of Jake and Dave Crist to ensure that, Ethan Page shows up and reminds Willie he has a match with him, and after he's done with him, he's coming for the X Division title.

Ace Austin beats Damian Hyde.



Someone debuts in two weeks...

We see a video package chronicling all the events leading up to Sami Callihan vs. Rich Swann for the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship.



Josh Mathews interviews Johnny Impact and Taya Valkyrie in the ring. Johnny says he did what he did because everyone is just a bunch of "Internet smart marks," and while he said he would be a fighting champion, he says people only watch Impact Wrestling for the carnage. He then says everyone switched their allegiance over to "The Machine" Brian Cage after Homecoming, says Cage is too dumb to understand the fans don't care about him, and says he cannot be loyal to the fans when the fans were not loyal to him. Johnny then says he cheated on the fans with himself and that he enjoyed it. Taya Valkyrie then talks about her Knockouts title defense against Jordynne Grace, making fun of her size before exclaiming that the fans do not dictate what goes on around here. She then says that she will call the shots about when and where the next title defense is, because she and Johnny make the rules. When asked if Cage will get his one-on-one title defense, Johnny says that Cage will get it at the next pay-per-view, saying he beat him once and can do it again. He says that he will be prepared for war and hopes that Cage stays healthy. Johnny then says he used to care about the fans, but now only two things matter to him: the Impact Wrestling World Championship and his wife Taya Valkyrie.



Father James Mitchell is met by Rosemary, who demands Allie's soul. Mitchell tells Rosemary that he stuck to his word in returning Allie, and that she knows who to see to get Allie's soul back. Rosemary says she is not afraid to talk to "him," but Mitchell says he cannot let her do that. Rosemary says she does not care what he allows, and that she will do whatever it takes to get Allie's soul back before she disappears.



Willie Mack beats Ethan Page.



Backstage, Johnny Impact and Taya Valkyrie make fun of Rolando Melendez before Johnny comes face-to-face with Killer Kross, who congratulates him on his actions from last week. After Kross whispers something into Johnny's ear, Johnny replies "This day just keeps getting better and better!"

Rolando Melendez interviews Glenn Gilberti before the bar. Gilberti is taking a few shots, saying he does not have to train for a match against a girl, as it will be a one-star match at best. He calls the women's revolution a "nonsensical hoax," and that he will prove next week that a woman cannot beat a man.

Backstage, Melissa Santos interviews Gail Kim as she leaves the management office. Gail Kim says she will do what she needs to do regarding Tessa Blanchard. After this, The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) and The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix) are seen and heard brawling nearby. Security shows up to break the brawl up, and Konnan tells The Lucha Bros. that if they want their rematch, they're going to get it.



Backstage, Willie Mack is ambushed by Jake and Dave Crist. Willie Mack is the one coming out of the room, however, closing the door while carrying a steel chair in his hands as he says "They need better security around here."

Next week: Killer Kross vs. "The Machine" Brian Cage! Jordynne Grace vs. Taya Valkyrie for the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship! Rosemary returns to the undead realm!

Rich Swann retains the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship on a surprise schoolkid pin after Callihan showboats. After the match, Callihan attacks Swann, but Swann gets the upper hand. As Swann has the steel chair that Callihan brought into the ring, Madman Fulton - formerly Sawyer Fulton in NXT - shows up and dismantles Swann. As Fulton places Sami Callihan on the top turnbuckle and reveals an oVe shirt under his jacket, Willie Mack gets into the ring, but Fulton picks him up and slams him like he is nothing. Fulton then holds Swann up so that Callihan can hit Swann with a baseball bat.
