Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 3, 2021



"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander retains the Impact X Division Championship against TJP two falls to one (2-1) in a 60-minute Iron Man Match that starts on the BTI pre-show and continues onto the main show. Josh Alexander scores the first fall at less than 40 minutes to go with a suplex bridge pin following a series of pinfall attempts. TJP scores the second fall with five seconds to go with a bridge pin out of an Alexander ankle lock, forcing sudden death. Alexander scores the third and final fall following a double underhook piledriver. Later on in the match, Trey Miguel and Chris Sabin plead with Josh Alexander to not slam an exhausted TJP on the stage, and this allows TJP to recover and slam Alexander on the stage himself. Soon after this, members of the locker room slowly start watching from behind the barricade and ringside, which are both lined with members of the locker room by the time the main show starts.
