Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 23, 2021

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Trey Miguel, who refuses to answers any questions when asked about how he feels following his loss to Sami Callihan last week.

We hear from "Inevitable" Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Fulton gives himself a round of applause when he made himself a full-circle career moment at Sacrifice and beat TJP to become a two-time X Division Champion. He says that he knows what is like to be champion, and as soon as the championship is around his waist, the challengers are already lining up and wanting to be first in line to face him. Austin says everyone is hung up on the past, but he is not, and he calls the shots. He says that TJP will not walk all over him like he did when he arrived in Impact, and says that this rematch tonight will be his last and he will still be X Division Champion.

Backstage, Don Callis is met by Sami Callihan as he heads into the arena. Callihan says he is very rarely wrong about people, yet everyone thinks he is the bad guy. He says that he was doing the entire world a favor when he beat him up a few years ago, as he knew who he was since day one. Callihan says Callis is more worried about himself, but Callihan says that everything has been going great for him before wishing him well. Callihan tells Callis that he does not care who wins between Kenny Omega and Rich Swann, as they will have a death with the Death Machine and he will come back to take back what is his.

Tasha Steelz beats Alisha in the pre-show match.

Kenny Omega and Don Callis enter Impact Wrestling's offices at the start of the show.

Deonna Purrazzo beats Jazz after Susan hits Jazz with a shoe after a successful distraction from the outside.

Backstage, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) are telling stories when Eddie Edwards shows up wondering why there are backstage, and tells them they are not "the boys" and are not welcome in the locker room. The Good Brothers leave, and Decay (Rosemary, Crazzy Steve, Black Taurus) laugh at them on the way out.

We hear from Johnny Swinger, who advertises Swinger's Palace, complete with testimonials from John E. Bravo, Alisha and a security guard.

Backstage, Rohit Raju encounters Fallah Bahh, who is sleeping in a tent in the studio. Rohit tells Fallah Bahh that he has lost all his money and tells him to get his life together, but Fallah threatens to beat him up. He leaves, then Rohit tears up the tent.

TJP beats "Inevitable" Ace Austin by disqualification after Madman Fulton breaks up a pinfall as TJP has the match won. After the match, Austin and Fulton attack TJP, but "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander runs into the ring and chases Austin and Fulton out with a chair.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Matt Cardona, who says that he loves it in Impact and that the handcuffs are off and he is ready to wrestle some new competition. Cardona says that always being ready is not just a catchphrase, and that being on top and always ready makes everything that much sweeter. As for his Twitter feud with Brian Myers, his showing up soon after Myers is a coincidence, and he is here to make his own opportunities. He says it is time for Myers to put up or shut up, and challenges him to a match. He also says that after that match, they are done regardless of who wins or loses.

Backstage, XXXL (Acey Romero and Larry D) confront Trey Miguel as he goes off and throws things around. Tommy Dreamer shows up and challenges them to a Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match as a joke, then tells him to go to Scott D'Amore to face Acey Romero tonight. He also tells Trey Miguel not to let Sami Callihan get into his head, as it will only set him back when he has all the tools to become champion and it will send him down the same route as Tommy Dreamer went in the past.

Rohit Raju beats Fallah Bahh after jumping into the crucifix bomb and using Fallah's own momentum against him to pin his shoulders to the mat while also grabbing the tights following another Banzai Drop in the middle of the ring as Rohit goes for a Sunset Flip.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Don Callis and Kenny Omega. Don Callis says he is going to the ring for what he has to say.

We see another paid advertisement from Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan, with Don Callis and Kenny Omega joining them. The card for tomorrow night's Dynamite is announced. During the advertisement, Omega says there is no chance that Matt Sydal will get a AEW World Championship match against him, but Tony Khan says anything can happen on Dynamite. Omega and Callis then walk out.

Backstage, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) head to Kenny Omega's dressing room, but Kenny is not there. It does not take them long to head elsewhere.

Kenny Omega and Don Callis head to the ring. Callis says that Omega will not only make a home in Impact, but that he will also take the Impact World title. He mentions his conversation with Rich Swann in the ring last week, and says that the one thing Swann cannot get out of his head is the One-Winged Angel. Callis says that Swann can prepare all he wants, but Omega just has to hit that move once, as nobody has ever kicked out of it. Omega says he gave Swann a taste of things to come, then he and Callis agree that he needs more championship gold. Callis says he is willing to do anything to suck every drop of blood out of the company if it helps Kenny Omega, then debuts a vignette that pays tribute to the One-Winged Angel. After the vignette, Omega says that everyone started walking on eggshells when he arrived, and that the only reason he is here is for the Impact World Championship. He says that while Rich Swann wants to be part of history like him, he will become a footstep in history when he wins the Impact World Championship, and says that while his debut was the greatest day in Impact history, for him, it was Tuesday. He then says that it will become evident that Impact has nobody who can even compete with him, and that he will lose the Impact World Championship when he is dead. He says that he will beat Swann for the title, for it is history. Omega then tells everyone to get ready for the show, and Callis says that they will make history at Rebellion.

We hear from Eric Young, who says that remorse is a symptom of "the disease." He says that Rhino had what it took to be a monster in his DNA, and that he just had to awaken it. As he says this, Rhino is baptized in the holy waters of change and indoctrinated into Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner).

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Havok and Nevaeh. Nevaeh says they are doing well as a team, but as Havok says this could be momentum to go for the Knockouts tag team titles, Fire 'n Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz) show up. Hogan tells them that they can step up to the plate if they want to, but that they will have to earn a tag team title shot before she and Steelz leave. Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb with a K then show up. Tenille mocks Neveah for nothing winning a match on her own, saying she has not found the right partner yet. As Kale tries to take a picture of Tenille and Nevaeh, Havok is forced to stand between them.

Trey Miguel beats Acey Romero. After the match, Larry D attacks Trey Miguel from behind and Acey Romero joins in. Suddenly, Sami Callihan teleports into the ring and hits Acey with a bat. Trey goes for a superkick on Sami when Larry D grabs him, but Sami ducks and Larry gets kicked instead. Sami then teleports out of the ring.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Rich Swann, who says he is not flustered by what Kenny Omega and Don Callis had to say earlier as he has to face adversity his whole life. He says that he had to go through a lot to become Impact World Champion and that mind games will not throw him off, and while he will give Omega credit for beating him, he has gotten the best of Omega when it is just them one-on-one. He says that all he has to prepare for is the One-Winged Angel and asks Omega how he will prepare for all the situations he got the best of him as he says that he will come out on top.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Cowboy" James Storm and Chris Sabin. Storm hopes to make his 1000th match in Impact Wrestling special with some beer, then says that if Violent By Design wants to increase their numbers, that is fine, for he has done and seen it all in Impact Wrestling. He says that his and Eric Young's history in Impact goes all the way, and says that if he wants to go, he's his huckleberry. Suddenly, Scott D'Amore shows up and makes Storm vs. Young the main event for next week.

"Machine Gun" Karl Anderson beats Eddie Edwards after Anderson kicks out of a roll-up and sends Eddie head-first into a chair being held by "The Big LG" Doc Gallows. After the match, Juice Robinson and David Finley show up on the video package and mock The Good Brothers (Gallows and Anderson), saying that they will be having a good time and a few drinks just like old times.
