Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 30, 2021

We hear from "Inevitable" Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Austin says that last week, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander stuck his nose in business where it does not belong, and because of that, he and Fulton are in a tag team match against TJP and Alexander tonight. Austin admits it has been a while since he and Fulton have been in a tag team match, especially since he has been busy as a singles wrestler, but Fulton says that at least he and Austin are a tag team. Austin says TJP and Alexander have had a week to get on the same page, although their focus may be on something else such as the X Division Championship, but their victory is inevitable. We then hear from TJP and Josh Alexander. TJP says that Alexander is the "monster of his own," and while Fulton has an ace, he is dealing with a joker, and he has what he considers the high card. Alexander says he is only here to be X Division Champion, and Ace and Fulton are the ones he has to go through to do that. He says that the enemy of his enemy is his friend and that TJP is his friend for tonight only, and that they will go out tonight to become the best two wrestlers in the company, and after tonight, their partnership is over. TJP gets the message that Alexander wants to start, and that if Alexander wants him to, he will finish it, and say that they will throw all the chips on the table, lay all their cards face up and let everything fall where it may.

Rohit Raju and Hernandez beat Shera and Fallah Bahh after Hernandez blasts Shera with a chair behind the referee's back.

During the match - and throughout the show - it is announced that Impact Wrestling is moving to Thursdays starting April 8th at 8 PM Eastern/7 PM Central. (The move is due to NXT moving to Tuesdays after WrestleMania.) After the match, Nevaeh attacks Havok from behind and hits her with a Spear, then plants her with a DDT.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Cowboy" James Storm. He says that as much as his 1,000th match in Impact should be a celebration, he was not supposed to even have one. He talks about how Bob Ryder got Impact to employ him and Chris Harris week after week. As for Eric Young, he expects Eric Young to show up and bring his friends, and says he has friends of his own in the form of Chris Sabin and Jake Something, who also bring in Chris Harris. Storm and Harris hug.

Meanwhile, Don Callis, Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) have been watching this footage. They commend Juice and Finlay for getting better, then Omega passes an idea on to Callis, who passes it on to The Good Brothers, who like the idea.

Backstage, Trey Miguel is met by Sami Callihan, who says he is not here to fight. As Sami and Trey argue, Sami says that Trey still lacks passion and needs to harness his anger to get to the next level, saying he got him there by getting that anger out of him. He offers to be his mentor, then says he will get with Scott D'Amore and demand a tag team match against XXXL (Larry D and Acey Romero) with Trey as his tag partner, even though he can have a tag team partner of his choice. Sami then gives Trey a week to think about it and give him his answer.

Brian Myers beats Suicide. After the match, Myers says that Matt Cardona is trying to get the rub by challenging him to a match, and says it is not going to happen because Impact Wrestling is his.

Backstage, Jazz tells Tommy Dreamer she wants to get her hands on Deonna Purrazzo. Dreamer proposes the two of them in an Ultimate Jeopardy match at Hardcore Justice, and Jazz says she will put her career on the line to get the Knockouts Championship. Dreamer tells Jazz she's got the match.

Backstage, Willie Mack is met by Don Callis, who says he is a fan of his work and shows him the video package of Kenny Omega beating Rich Swann when Swann shows up and confronts Callis. He says that Callis will not get to him or his friends, and that if Callis was not his face, he would slap the sunglasses off his face. Callis then gives Swann an opportunity to smack him around, and this leads to Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) attacking Swann. Willie is also attacked, and Eddie Edwards runs into the room to even the odds. Omega and The Good Brothers soon retreat.

We see a vignette for something come soon to Impact in April 2021.

Backstage, Rohit Raju proposes being tag team partners with Hernandez, but Hernandez wants money more than anything else.

We hear from Eric Young, who says that "The Cowboy" James Storm challenging him is a mistake, for violence is the path and the only thing that the disease understands. He says that the olive branch will not be extended to all and that 1,000 matches means that Storm is too far gone and that the disease has taken hold, then says that the world belongs to Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhino).

Backstage, Tommy Dreamer holds a meeting for Hardcore Justice. Deonna Purrazzo tells everyone to get their goodbyes to Jazz ready before she lays her to waste, then issues an open challenge for tonight.
