Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 16, 2022

Laredo Kid beats Blake Christian in the BTI Match.

Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans beat Jordynne Grace and Mia Yim after Jordynne inadvertently hits Mia Yim. After the match, Gia Miller interviews Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green - who has been watching from backstage - and asks if they are going to be a team in Queen of the Mountain. Deonna says there are no teams in Queen of the Mountain, but Chelsea says that with all the alliances, it would not make sense for them not to team up. When asked if it was between them, Deonna says there can only be one Queen of the Mountain. As Deonna walks off, Chelsea says "She's not wrong."

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Wes Brisco and Garrett Bischoff. Garrett says his time in Impact was the greatest time of his life, and Brisco says nobody on the roster can mess with Aces and Eights. Suddenly, Honor No More shows up, and Vincent says that Honor No More runs things in Impact. Kenny King mentions Garrett and Brisco's family ties and tells them to get out, and this starts a brawl that officials break up. One of the officials is D'Lo Brown, who says that they don't handle things like they used to anymore. Brisco asks D'Lo if he remembers being an Aces and Eights member, and Garrett tells him to dig down deep because they want a piece of Honor No More. D'Lo Brown says the best part of being part of the office is that he can talk to Scott D'Amore and make the match official, and says he will take care of that.

We hear from "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, who talks about his Impact World Championship victory and how holding the title always means there is a target on his back. He also says that he has been a fan of TNA and Impact, and that Eric Young inspired him to chase his dream. Eric Young says the perfume of victory is a very sweet taste and that the images are burned in his mind forever, and that since then, he has moved on from the past and that the world belongs to him and Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner). Alexander says he is the present standard of Impact, but Eric Young says he knows what makes Alexander tick and that Alexander does not have that advantage against him. Eric Young says the world belongs to him, but Alexander says it does not.

Trey Miguel beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey after countering the running spin kick to the corner with an inside cradle, giving Bailey his first Impact singles loss.

We see a video package chronicling the injury and return of Sami Callihan and his current feud with Moose.

Masha Slamovich quickly beats Alisha Edwards, bringing her win streak to 11-0. After the match, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw checks on Alisha Edwards, and Masha takes an interest in Gisele.

Backstage, Taya Valkyrie meets with Rosemary, saying that they can beat The Influence (Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne) for the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championships at Slammiversary. She also offers to help save Havok.

The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) guest on commentary for the next match.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Bullet Club ("Switchblade" Jay White and Chris Bey) with a schoolkid pin from Mark Briscoe to Chris Bey.

We hear from Raj Singh and Shera regarding the Reverse Battle Royal at Slammiversary. As Raj Singh says Shera will win it all, Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice show up, and Swinger says he will be winning. Zicky Dice brags about how quickly Johnny Swinger got eliminated in the Gauntlet For The Gold Match, but Raj Singh reminds him that the Reverse Battle Royal works differently. Johnny Swinger says he has some tape watching to do.

Wes Brisco and Garrett Bischoff are joined by D'Lo Brown before their match.

We see a video package for Honor No More vs. Team Impact at Slammiversary.

It is announced that Nick Aldis will be returning to Impact at Slammiversary as part of Team Impact.

Honor No More (Vincent and Kenny King) beat Aces and Eights (Wes Brisco and Garett Bischoff) following the distraction from Eddie Edwards. After the match, Honor No More surround D'Lo Brown, but D'Lo Brown fends them off and hits Kenny King with the Sky High. When he goes for the Lo Down, however, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett attack D'Lo. Suddenly, The Motor City Machine Guns and Frankie Kazarian show up and make the save for D'Lo Brown.

Scott D'Amore moderates a contract signing between Eric Young and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander for their Impact World Championship match at Slammiversary. Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) arrive first, followed by Alexander. Eric Young says he does not care about history and only cares about himself, the future and being Impact World Champion, then demands Alexander sign the contract first. Alexander is surprised that Eric Young does not care about history when he himself was part of it and says that Impact Wrestling showed him a different style of pro wrestling that made him want to chase his dream even when he was in a hospital bed. He says that both he and Eric Young owe so much to the company, and if Eric Young does not care about Impact's history, he does, and he knows no better way to celebrate than kicking Eric Young's ass. He signs the contract. Eric Young says Alexander is lying to himself and the fans, as he is a thousand times better than the fans will ever be, then says the fans' opinion does not matter and that he will open Alexander's eyes to the fact that he rides the line between chaos and order. After saying that chaos can be beautiful and that he will open Alexander's eyes to the truth, he signs the contract, then dismisses Scott D'Amore to talk to Alexander "alone," but Alexander knows what is going on. Eric Young accuses Alexander of being scared, but Alexander says he is coming into Slammiversary with the company and its history on its back, then mentions the Eric Young that used to be a fan favorite that he and everyone got behind. When Alexander says the fan favorite Eric Young would be disgusted at the present Eric Young, Eric Young topples the table and strikes at Alexander, and Scott D'Amore takes a shot at Deaner. Violent By Design overpower both D'Amore and Alexander, and Eric Young choke Alexander out with his own jacket as Deaner and Doering tear up the ring so that Eric Young can cut Alexander with a turnbuckle hook. Violent By Design then tear up the ring and expose the wooden planks before choking Alexander out with a ring rope, and Eric Young hits Alexander with a piledriver on the exposed planks to end the show.
