Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 24, 2021



TJP and Fallah Bahh beat Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus) on the pre-show.



Backstage, Kenny Omega and Don Callis find out that they are not on the EVP list and are now on the talent list from the security guard near the door. Callis goes off on him, tells him who he is and says he can go wherever he is.

Rosemary beats Kiera Hogan.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Chris Bey. Chris Bey says the hardest part of the business is minding your own and that picking a side can be dangerous. As he says he will become a two-time X Division Champion, Trey Miguel and "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams show up. Trey Miguel says that everyone is turning against Madman Fulton, and wants to know which side he is on. Petey Williams says that the lone wolf is the first to get eaten, and that he will have to choose a side before a side chooses him.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Tommy Dreamer. He says that he hates seeing someone lose his job, but professionally, he had to fire Don Callis and do what needed to be done. Suddenly, Scott D'Amore shows up. D'Amore says that while Tommy Dreamer could have handled things differently last week, he says that there is validity to what he said, and that he did not take care of things that he should have. He thanks Tommy for having the company's best interests at heart, and Tommy thanks D'Amore for having his back. D'Amore says that he can take things from here, but Tommy says he has been asked to stay on as a consultant. D'Amore is surprised.

Deonna Purrazzo beats Susan by submission. After the match, Deonna puts Susan in the Venus de Milo, and Kimber Lee has to pull Deonna off of Susan. Deonna shoves Kimber Lee and yells at her for touching her, saying she is done with her and Susan and that Kimber is nothing but a loser before walking away.



Backstage at Swinger's Palace, TJP and Fallah Bahh are at the Blackjack table. Fallah keeps losing but TJP is on a roll. Willie Mack and Rich Swann show up and join in. When Rich Swann puts one of his feet on the table, John E. Bravo shows off his shoes as well. Swann and Mack catch up with TJP and Fallah, and the two of them declare that they are gunning for the Impact tag team titles. TJP asks Swann when he last tagged with Mack, and Swann asks if this is a challenge. TJP says "Maybe." This leads to both teams agreeing to face off in a match next week.

Backstage, Tommy Dreamer is met by Don Callis, who says that there are no hard feelings after last week, saying he would rather be on the street than be in Scott D'Amore position. He says that while Dreamer is in a good position in Anthem, he knows he still wants to wrestle, and challenges him to a six-man tag team match against Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson).

Rohit Raju and Shera beat "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams and Trey Miguel. During the match, Ace Austin and Madman Fulton show up for a closer look at the match, and this distracts Petey Williams, allowing Rohit Raju to hit the Drive-By for the win. After the match, Austin, Fulton, Rohit and Shera attack Petey and Trey, then Josh Alexander shows up and fights off all four men only to be overpowered. Chris Bey shows up on the stage, but records the brawl on his phone as he makes a video.



Backstage, Gia Miller runs into Sami Callihan and Tommy Dreamer. Tommy Dreamer says he is trying to convince Callihan of the good he has been doing and wants him to join hi steam next week. Sami says he has no problem kicking Dreamer's ass again, but if joining his team means he gets close to beating up Don Callis, he is in. Moose then shows up, says "I'm in," then leaves. Dreamer wonders if he should tell him he is tagging with Callihan, but Callihan says "Why play by the rules?"

Rachael Ellering is in the ring. She says that a lot needs to be said and said the right way. She says that when she became a tag team champion, she walked around with rose-colored glasses and did not see the red flags. She says that she wants to get through this, but she cannot do this without Jordynne Grace, and asks Jordynne to come to the ring. Jordynne heads to the ring, and Rachael thanks her for coming. Rachael calls becoming a Knockouts Tag Team Champion one of the greatest moments in her life and was happy to have Jazz and Jordynne as part of that moment. She says she has reflected on that moment since then, and says that a year ago, she was at the lowest part of her entire life, for she was not herself and it was hard just to get through a day to the point that she hated being pushed into a "pool of positivity" by those she loved.She then says she forced that on her, and says she should have not done that. As she talks about what is going on with Tennille Dashwood, Jordynne says she does not care about Tennille and says she had accomplished a lot before Rachael came along. Rachael says she knows that and wants her to do that, then mentions Tennille again. Jordynne says that if she mentions Tennille again, she will drop her on her head. Suddenly, Jazz shows up. Jazz says she loves the both of them, and says she knew that combining the two of them together would lead to nothing but great things. She calls their tag team title loss a hurdle, and says she knows they can get over it. Jazz says that Jordynne is letting her ego get in her way and needs to get whatever is in her head out. Rachael says this is all on her, and that she wants their tag team title reign to be the start of their journey, not the end. She says that she would love to keep teaming with Jordynne, but she does not know if Jordynne wants the same thing. Jazz tells Jordynne the ball is in her court, but Jordynne says she needs some time to think and leaves. After Jordynne leaves, Kaleb and Tenille show up. Tenille tells Rachael she is just embarrassing herself at this point and says things are not working out with her and Jordynne, and says she is the solution. Tennille says that she could have a lot with her and Kaleb, and says that Rachael cannot see what it standing in front of her. Rachael tells Tennille that them as a team is not happening, and only wants to be in the ring with her as an opponent. Rachael proposes that they have a one-on-one rematch, and Tennille goes for a cheap shot only for Rachael to duck. Jazz punches Kaleb when he gets involved, and Rachael plants Tennille with a spinebuster.



Brian Myers gives Sam Beale some pointers before his match backstage.

Jake Something beats Sam Beale after Myers tosses a chair to Beale only for Jake to keep him from using it. After the match, Brian Myers tells Sam Beale to blame Jake Something for his loss, saying he is not a professional and brought a foreign object into the match. He then tells Sam Beale to do the opposite of what Jake Something does.



Backstage, Willie Mack and Rich Swann wish Eddie Edwards and Satoshi Kojima luck in their tag team title match. Eddie says that when they win the tag titles, Willie and Swann get the first shot.

Violent By Design (Deaner and Joe Doering) retain the Impact World Tag Team Championships against Eddie Edwards and Satoshi Kojima.
