Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for January 12, 2021

Kimber Lee beats Taya Valkyrie after Rosemary confronts Deonna Purrazzo for getting involved only for Susie to show up and attack Rosemary alongside Deonna. Taya is soon distracted by this, and this allows Kimber Lee to roll Taya up for the win.



In Kenny Omega's tour bus, Don Callis meets with Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), saying they need a victory coming into Hard To Kill and that Karl Anderson needs to win against Rich Swann tonight. Anderson says he will definitely be able to handle Rich Swann himself tonight when it is addressed that nobody will be allowed at ringside in the match.

We see another paid ad from Tony Khan and Tony Schiavone. Khan states that Impact had a good 2020 because of AEW, then he and Schiavone run down the card for Night 2 of New Year's Smash.Afterwards, Khan is surprised that The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) were on AEW, then says Impact did at least one thing right last year before asking Impact to bring more people to AEW.

We hear from Sami Callihan, who says that his next match with Eddie Edwards is three years in the making and that it will be a "barbed wire massacre." He says that Eddie has no idea what is coming to him in this type of match at Hard To Kill.



Chris Bey and Rohit Raju beat Suicide and Manik.



Backstage, Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie are not happy with losing to Kimber Lee tonight. Rosemary says she will keep a more watchful eye next time. When Taya tells Rosemary she wants to return the favor and be at ringside for her match tonight, she reminds Taya that she has a title match this Saturday and tells Taya she has a plan.

Cody Deaner - now known as "Deaner" beats Tommy Dreamer by disqualification after Deaner slaps Cousin Jake only for his legs to be taken out from under him on the ring apron. After the match, Eric Young and Deaner attack both Dreamer and Jake. Rhino shows up from the back after being ejected early in the back and lays out Young, but Joe Doering - also coming back from being ejected from the ring - confronts Rhino and fells him with one clothesline. Deaner then hits Jake with the Deaner DDT and Eric Young piledrives Dreamer.



We see a video package of the Knockouts Tag Team Title Tournament so far.

Backstage, the contracts are signed for the Knockouts Tag Team Title Tournament finals. Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz brag that they have the match already won, then Havok and Neveah grab them by the throat and tell them they will win. Suddenly, Brian Myers asks Scott D'Amore who he has yet to beat, then Josh Alexander shows up and says Myers won by disqualification in their last match. D'Amore puts them in a no-disqualification, much to the irritation of Myers.

Rosemary beats Tenille Dashwood after Crazzy Steve shows up from underneath the ring and chases Kaleb all around the ring for confronting Rosemary. As this happens, Kaleb tosses a bottle of hairspray to Tenille, but Rosemary points the hairspray nozzle at Tenille, blinding her and allowing her to get the win.



We hear from Rich Swann, who says that he and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) will win at Hard To Kill, but tonight, he and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson are strictly one-on-one with everyone else in their Hard To Kill match banned from ringside. Rich Swann says that Anderson will get a little taste of what he will get at Hard To Kill, then he can go back to Kenny Omega's tour bus and make it known that Omega and company will get their asses kicked.

We see a video package of the events leading up to "All Ego" Ethan Page vs. Karate Man at Hard To Kill.

Moose beats Matthew Palmer by referee stoppage following two powerful uranagis.



We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) vs. Rich Swann and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) at Hard To Kill.

Rich Swann beats "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson with a surprise schoolkid pin. After the match, The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) are attacked by "The Big LG" Doc Gallows and Kenny Omega. Rich Swann and Karl Anderson soon jump in, and the brawl ends the show.
