Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 9, 2021

We hear from Chris Sabin and "The Cowboy" James Storm. Sabin tells Rohit Raju and Mahabali Shera that he will not get angry and that he will give them a calm, stern warning that they made a big mistake attacking them, for they are Impact Wrestling tag team royalty, and when they have their match, they will kick their ass. Storm says Sabin is the yin to his yang and that while Sabin is calmly going to tell Rohit and Shera what they will do to them, he will show them exactly what they will do and says that he is the kind of guy whom the devil curses his continued existence every time he wakes up in the morning.

We hear from Rohit Raju and Mahabali Shera. Rohit says they have everything under control, and admits that while they lost, they left Chris Sabin and "The Cowboy" James Storm. Rohit reminds Storm that he should be worried about Shera, for they have a past, while he and Sabin have a future. Shera says he remembers every slap Storm ever came him, and says that he will break Storm limb from limb. Rohit says they have a statement to make, for Storm and Sabin are on the marquees and the highlight reels, and they are taking and smashing everything for Storm and Sabin represent the glory they want. He says that in the future, everyone will talk about how he and Shera laid waste to Sabin and Storm as they teach them a lesson tonight.

We hear from Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Fulton says there has always been a plan and a direction, and that TJP has the unfortunate task of stepping into the ring with someone twice his size, and step one is to hurt TJP. Austin says that step two will be him swooping in and becoming a two-time X Division Champion. He says that TJP may have stopped his undefeated streak, but things have changed, and everything will come full circle.

We hear from TJP, who says that it may seem like he does not care - and he does not - and that he is not afraid of Madman Fulton because of what he has already done and Fulton will never done. TJP says he hsd had to take from the hands of people who have built just like Fulton, and hopes that Madman Fulton is willing to kill for the X Division Championship, for he is willing to die for it.

Backstage, Havok thanks Neveah for having her back last week. Neveah says she does not know what the future holds, and Havok proposes they bring their tag team together and see how Neveah feels when they take on Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb with a K at Sacrifice. Neveah is in for the match.

We hear from Sami Callihan, who says that Trey Miguel should have just listened to him, as he gave him every opportunity to walk away and quit, but Trey stuck around just a little bit longer. He then says that he has to make an example out of Trey and everyone he cares about, which is why he went to his wrestling school last week. He says he did mean for things to get messy, and says he just wanted to talk to him like a man, but his hands were tied and Trey sealed their fates. He then says he found someone with potential and passion while he was there, and says that one cannot teach passion.

D'Amore says the more Myers has to argue, the less of a case he has. He then says that Myers and Eddie can settle things in a "Hold Harmless" Match, which is a no-rules match, at Sacrifice. Myers irritably walks away.

Before the next match, Sami Callihan calls Trey Miguel a quitter, and says the only thing he has done correctly is train the person he is about to bring out, who is now his protege and has the passion that Trey lacks: Sam Beale.

Trey Miguel quickly beats Sam Beale by submission. After the match, Trey confronts Sami Callihan only for Sami to teleport from the stage to the ring, where he hits Sam Beale with a package piledriver. Trey goes after Sami, but Sami teleports out of the arena.

Backstage, Chris Sabin says he and "The Cowboy" James Storm have known Eric Young for a long time and that Eric disgusts him.

Storm makes it clear to Eric Young that they will kick his ass. Suddenly, Jake Something shows up, saying he knows Eric Young will be at ringside and wants to have their back. Young and Sabin accept his help.

As they keep drinking shots of Talkin' Shop Whiskey, both team keep daring each other to have another shot before signing the contract.
