Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 31, 2022



Black Taurus beats Deaner in the BTI match.

In the intro to tonight's show, it is revealed that this past Saturday at Destiny World Wrestling, Moose hit "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander's wife with a Spear. Backstage, Scott D'Amore meets with Josh Alexander and tells him that Moose has been sent home and will be fired and stripped of the Impact World Championship. Alexander pins D'Amore to the wall and tells him that that he wants Moose, who has made this far too personal. Alexander says that he hopes Moose pays attention to what he has to say tonight.

Before the next match, Jonathan Gresham says he came to Impact Wrestling to share the true essence of Ring of Honor and professional wrestling with the world, but along with that came Honor No More. Gresham says the foundation of Ring of Honor was made by men like himself, Samoa Joe and even Eddie Edwards. He says Eddie is no longer the man he once knew and represents something completely different, and that they will finally meet at Rebellion. Kenny King shows up and says Gresham disgusts him, as he simultaneously sees on the greatest wrestlers of a generation as well as a chump and stooge for Impact Wrestling who is bringing prestige to their company. He then says that Gresham should be part of Honor No More, then says that he is "The Octopus" because he is all arms and no brains and balls, then says he is not interested in Pure Rules or "the piece of metal from a dead company" before declaring he wants to bury him.

Jonathan Gresham beats Kenny King by pinfall with the Figure Four Leg Lock after King's leg gives out completely. After the match, Gresham is attacked from behind by Eddie Edwards, and Kenny King holds Gresham down so that Eddie can hit Gresham with the Boston Knee Party. Rocky Romero shows up to even the odds, and he and Gresham clean house.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley). Alex Shelley says that "Switchblade" Jay White should know The Motor City Machine Guns' accolades and what they bring to the table, and says that they have won before and will win again. Chris Sabin says that he will beat Jay White at Multiverse of Matches and that tonight, he and Shelley will prove why they are "the best damn tag team that ever lived."

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Deonna Purrazzo. Purrazzo says that the Knockouts Division is learning that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns, and that she has been pushing boundaries and will continue to do so at Multverse of Matches. She says that with tons of fans comes tons of options over who to face, and that "the champ-champ" is here.

Before the next match, Johnny Swinger says that if Zicky Dice listens to him, he will become "the next Adrian Adonis." He then calls out two "ham-and-eggers" to a match for "The Chump-Chump Challenge." The challenge is answered by The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson).

The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) quickly beat Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice in The Chump-Chump Challenge without Swinger even getting in the match. Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Good Brothers. Anderson says that what happened in the ring is how they became the best tag team in the business and that they are back to beating people up. Gallows says they got screwed last week by Honor No More, but they are going to Rebellion and going through seven other teams. As for Multiverse of Matches, they will see how many bullets are in The Briscoes' (Jay and Mark Briscoe) gun. Suddenly, PCO is seen in the parking lot screaming JONAH's name.

Backstage, PCO is still screaming JONAH's name. He is suddenly attacked from behind by JONAH with a metal hand truck. JONAH places PCO on the hand truck and sends him into a bunch of cones. JONAH and PCO then brawl in the parking lot, and the brawl ends with JONAH powerbombing PCO and hitting him with a sledgehammer before placing a cement slab on PCO and breaking it on him with the sledgehammer. This only fires PCO up, and PCO grabs JONAH by the throat, much to the surprise of JONAH, who tries to fight back. PCO then slams the door of a nearby truck into JONAH's right shoulder before shoveling what looks like asphalt on top of JONAH.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Madman Fulton with the ankle lock. After the match, Alexander refuses to let go of the ankle hold until Ace Austin tries to get in the ring, when Alexander finally lets go and forces Austin to think twice about getting in the ring as soon as he glares at him. Fulton tries to attack Alexander again, but Alexander fends him off and breaks Fulton's ankle with the ankle lock while Ace Austin slowly backs away.

Backstage, Trey Miguel meets with "Speedball" Mike Bailey before asking what his relationship to Ace Austin is, then tells him not to expect Ace Austin to have his back.

In backstage footage from last week, Mickie James says she thought she has someone who looked up to her and was trusting in Chelsea Green only to find out that she was as much of a sell-out as Matt Cardona. She says that she sees Chelsea Green's true colors now, and if Matt Cardona thinks he can get away with putting his hands on her, then she and Nick Aldis will have their way with "The Mid-Cardonas" at Multiverse of Matches.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Chelsea Green, who says Mickie James asked her repeatedly not to help her, yet Mickie James came to save her anyway. She says that Mickie was too tied up to give her a title shot, and now she will get a shot at Mickie. Matt Cardona says that they will beat Mickie James and Nick Aldis, whom he says has accomplished nothing, and prove that they are the power couple of pro wrestling.

Tasha Steelz guests on commentary for the next match.

Rosemary last eliminates "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw and Lady Frost in a Knockouts World Championship #1 Contender's Battle Royal to earn a shot at the Impact Knockout World Championship at Rebellion. During the match, Kaleb with a K inadvertently catches Jessie McKay when she is knocked off the apron, briefly saving Jessie from elimination.



We hear from Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner). Eric Young says The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) experienced another symphony of violence, and the crescendo was when they took their power and control and everything they held dear. He then tells them to imagine what people will say when they run roughshod through seven other team and retain what matters to them: power and control. Eric Young says that he proved that the sickness still exists when he lost to Black Taurus. He says that the sickness can still take, and that Decay (Rosemary, Crazzy Steve, Black Taurus, Havok) now has their undivided attention and that they will take back what Deaner lost as well as their power and control.

Brian Myers provides alternative commentary for the next match.

Bhupinder Gujjar beats Aiden Prince. After the match, W. Morrissey shows up as Brian Myers tries to leave, and Myers and Morrissey brawl. Myers grabs Aiden Prince's foot in order to escape the BQE and run away, then Aiden Prince shoves Morrisey. This leads to Morrissey overpowering Aiden Prince and putting him through a nearby table with the BQE.

Masha Slamovich beats Abby Jane.

Bullet Club ("Switchblade" Jay White and Chris Bey) beat The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley).
