Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for February 23, 2021

We hear from Ace Austin, Chris Bey and Madman Fulton. Austin says he has no idea that his team will be on the same page tonight, even if they have to go on to face each other in a three-way match, then thanks Chris Bey for helping him along the way to become Impact X Division Champion, which he says is inevitable. Bey says he will become X Division Champion and not Austin, but Fulton and Austin start talking about Austin's recent accolades. Decay (Rosemary, Crazzy Steve, Black Taurus) then shows up, and Rosemary says Austin loves talking "a lot of bull" before bringing their own into the mix. Rosemary then asks what will happen when Austin and Bey have to face Taurus next week when they win tonight.

We hear from Jake Something, who tells Deaner that he is the same guy despite all the change he has made, and that he relies on a cult to get him by. Jake says he does not have a family or anybody to lean on, and that Deaner will get "the bare Jake Something." He also says Deaner will not solve anything from putting him through a table, and says he has no problem or regrets putting Deaner through a table.

Backstage, Deonna talks with Susie and Kimber Lee, saying they all need to be on the same page. Kimber Lee says she is ready for a crown jewel of her own, while Susan says that she has a plan. Deonna tells Susie to stick to her plan.

Jake Something beats Deaner in a Tables Match. After the match, Jake is put through a table by Moose, who gets a chair, sits down and says that unless Rich Swann gives him a shot at the Impact World Championship, there will be no show tonight. After the commercial break, Jake Something is helped to the back while Moose is still waiting for Rich Swann to give him a shot at the Impact World Championship. Suddenly, Scott D'Amore shows up. D'Amore tells Moose to get out of the ring, but Moose insists on his World Championship match. After D'Amore tells Moose that Swann is not in the building and not medically cleared, Jake Something shows back up wanting to fight Moose. D'Amore finally gives Moose a shot at the World Championship, saying that Moose has walked around for a year with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. He then makes the TNA World title an official title and makes Moose defend the title against Jake Something.

We hear from Decay (Rosemary, Crazzy Steve, Black Taurus). Rosemary says it has been five years since Decay was summoned to Impact Wrestling, and says that patience is a virtue. Crazzy Steve says it is time to rejoice, as their resurrection is coming. Rosemary says that they will take the Impact X Division Championship first before taking the rest of the gold, for they are bringing forth a new era of shadows.

We see another paid advertisement from Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan, who are surrounded by AEW wrestlers. Khan says he has such a big heart that he loves doing paid ads for Impact, then the wrestlers mock Impact as Khan and Schiavone run down the card.

Backstage, Havok talks with Neveah, saying that they need to step back and rethink things, but Neveah insists that she needs some time.

At Swinger's Palace, "The Cowboy" James Storm and Chris Sabin are winning at blackjack. Rohit Raju shows up and joins mid-game, but dealer John E. Bravo wins with a 21.

Bravo to see Scott D'Amore and make the match official.

Backstage, The Good Brothers meet with Juice Robinson and David Finlay and brag about tonight's win. Robinson and Finlay are not impressed, with Robinson saying "Took you long enough," and The Good Brothers talk about how good they are before Robinson and Finlay tell them they are only the best when they are hung over. Robinson and Finlay leave, with Anderson holding Gallows back.

Before the next match, Brian Myers says he would love to face Eddie Edwards, but he cannot, as he has been advised not to. Myers' new attorney, Mark Sterling, then appears on the video screen. Sterling says the unsafe working environment and working conditions has led to irreversible eye damage and has advised Myers not to wrestle tonight. He also states that according to Myers' new contract, which he has on card stock, in case Myers cannot compete, a replacement can be made, and Myers is replaced with Myers' "homie," Hernandez.

D'Amore then puts Myers in an Eye For An Eye Match against Eddie Edwards next week, with Matt Cardona as the referee. When Myers asks D'Amore if he is serious about the Eye For An Eye stipulation, D'Amore says that the Eye For An Eye Match is a dumb idea and asks who in their right mind would create such a match in a moment where Impact pokes fun of WWE.

Jordynne Grace and Jazz beat Kimber Lee and Susan to become #1 contenders to the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championships. During the match, Deonna Purrazzo distracts Jazz, allowing her to attack Jazz behind the referee's back until ODB runs in and brawls with Deonna, which leads to both ODB and Deonna being ejected from ringside.
