Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 26, 2020

In memory of Shad Gaspard, 1981 - 2020. In memory of Hama Kimura, 1997 - 2020.



Ace Austin beats Hernandez to advance to the finals of the Impact World Championship #1 Contender's Tournament after working on Hernandez's knee throughout the match.



We sees a video package of Cody Deaner on a four-wheeler after yelling at a guy on a motorcycle.

Backstage, Johnny Swinger tells Chris Bey that they will get along time as a tag team and that he has all the tricks up his sleeves. Chris Bey just wants Swinger to get in the ring and get the job done.

We see The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) in a white limousine, making fun of Cody Deaner's neck of the woods. They are suddenly welcomed by a strange man, who tells them that something happened to the last people who laughed at the Deaners before running.

We hear from Michael Elgin, who tells Trey Miguel that it is time for him to stop running and be serious, for he will always be the number one contender for the Impact World Championship.

Chris Bey beats Cousin Jake following the distraction by Johnny Swinger. After the match, Swinger and Bey stomp on Cousin Jake, then Willie Mack shows up and forces them to retreat.



Backstage, Rohit Raju wants to know what his next opportunity is, as there is nothing next for him. Suddenly, Chase Stevens shows up and accuses him and TNA originals of taking his spotlight. Stevens says that his resume pales to Rohit's, which consists of being slapped around by Gama Singh. Rohit takes offense to this and challenges him to a match next week. Stevens is not exactly stressed out about this.

Kimber Lee beats Havok by disqualification. During the match, Kimber Lee rakes Havok in the eyes and gets her brass knuckles, but when she is about to strike, Neveah shows up and attacks Kimber Lee and kicks her brass knuckles out of the ring, ending the match. Havok and Neveah team up and annihilate Kimber Lee, then celebrate in the ring.



Backstage, Kylie Rae runs into Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz. As Kiera and Tasha confront Kylie Rae, who yells at them, Susie shows up and tells them to stop. Tasha hits Kylie with a cheap shot to the gut, then she and Kiera stomp on Susie. This action awakens Susie's dark side.

The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) approach the Deaner compound. When the door refuses to open, they turn back, but the guy from last time shows up and runs away again. Suddenly, the doors open up and The North are welcomed to the compound.

Backstage, Joseph P. Ryan meets with oVe, asking them to come into the ring so as to learn how to deal with problems like #CancelCulture (Rob Van Dam, Katie Forbes, Ryan).

At Cody Deaner peps up the rest of the Deaner compound members, The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) show up and demand a 2-on-2 match. Cody insists that everything is fair, and the referee from last week shows up. Suddenly, a woman shows up on a tractor, but when The North find out she is not Wheels, Page begins to verbally bash the place and throws a toy car that belongs to Wheels: a big man who takes offense to his cars being touched.



The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) retain the Impact World Tag Team Championships against Cody Deaner and Wheels at the Deaner Compound in the middle of Canada after The North's announcer from the past few weeks gets involved in the match by hitting Wheels with a low blow, revealing that he is wearing a referee's shirt, and making a fast count to help The North retain the tag team titles after the original referee knocks himself after missing a top rope 450 splash. After the match, The North and their announcer/referee are chased out of the Deaner Compound.

Backstage, TJP and Fallah Bahh are interviewed. TJP says their are still on The North's ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) trail, and it was not too long ago that they had the whole tag team division in the ring. Suddenly, The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz) show up and say that they are ahead of TJP and Fallah Bahh in the line, and TJP challenges them to a match next week. The Rascalz accept.

At the treehouse, Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz mention their backstage meeting with TJP and Fallah Bahh from earlier. Suddenly, Moose shows up and hands Trey Miguel a pair of sunglasses. Moose tells Trey Miguel that he should come after the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and be like some of the greatest TNA alumni. When he asks Trey if he wants to be like him, The Rascalz laugh. Moose tells them to remember what happened the last time they made fun of him, then leave.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the Week is Moose vs. Cody Rhodes for the Impact Grand Championship on March 30, 2017.

We hear from "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo, who says that she has outstanding technical ability and boasts that she unlocked parts of her brain to be faster than the competition.

At the bar, Rosemary talks with John E. Bravo about a guy that he used to date as well as Father James Mitchell. Bravo says he feels he has sold his soul to Taya Valkyrie (whom he does not mention by name), but Rosemary tells him he has a demon in his corner. Rosemary proposes they find someplace different next week, and tells Bravo that she does not sacrifice somebody on an altar on the first date.

Next week: The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz) vs. TJP and Fallah Bahh! Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz vs. Kylie Ray and Susie! Crazzy Steve vs. Joseph P. Ryan! Chris Bey guests on Locker Room Talk! The finals of the Impact World Championship #1 Contender's Tournament!

Trey Miguel beats Michael Elgin to advance to the finals of the Impact World Championship #1 Contender's Tournament after Sami Callihan's "ICU" graphic pops up and white noise is heard throughout the arena, distracting Elgin and allowing Trey to win with a jackknife pin on a distracted Elgin. After the match, Michael Elgin is furious for having lost.
