Alan Angels beats Crazzy Steve in the BTI match. During the match, Angels demands to ring announcer Jade Chung that he be known as "Windsor's favorite wrestler," but Crazzy Steve responds by having Jade Chung ask the fans if they want to see him take "Windsor's favorite wrestler" and bite his face off. After the match, Angels is hit from behind by Heath with a Wake-Up Call.
Scott D'Amore is in the ring to start tonight's show. D'Amore thanks the crowd for their support and making Slammiversary one of the greatest nights of his life, and says that standing in the ring with A1, Eric Young and Darren McCarty is a moment he will remember forever. He then announces that since his politics with Bully Ray are over, so is his leave of office, and with Santino Marella getting ready to face Dirty Dango tonight, he is the acting Director of Authority. He also announces that we will hear from "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander for the first time since his return at Slammiversary, and that ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) will have their tag team title rematch against Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) tonight. As he is announcing that Jake Something is here tonight, The Good Hands show up. John Skyler calls D'Amore "a typical Canadian" and a coward by hiding behind his position of authority before they can hand him a receipt. D'Amore dares them to get in the ring, which they do, and Jason Hotch calls D'Amore a thorn in The Good Hands' side as well as a roadblock before Skyler says D'Amore is overdue for a beating from them. D'Amore responds by saying that "good hands need to throw down," then announces their opponents for tonight: Rich Swann and Sami Callihan, who head to the ring for the next match.
Rich Swann and Sami Callhan beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch).
Backstage, we hear from ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey). Chris Bey says Slammiversary was supposed to be the best night ever, but The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) stopped them from retaining the World Tag Team titles. He tells The Rascalz to go somewhere else and that they will take their titles back. The Rascalz show up, and Trey Miguel wants a fight. Chris Bey stops Ace Austin at first, but then he throws the first punch. Security stops the brawl, and Scott D'Amore ejects The Rascalz from the arena. Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice then show up, and Swinger asks what he has to do to get a win. D'Amore admits the "fifty wins" idea was misguided, and says that if Swinger wins one match, he has a title shot. He then says the match is against Zicky, and if he loses, he is gone from Impact. Zicky tells Swinger he will lay down for him when D'Amore leaves, then D'Amore comes back and makes the match a Loser Leaves IMPACT match, putting Zicky's job at IMPACT on the line as well.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Eric Young, who says it feels "amazing" and "right" to be back home and that he has a story to tell and a history to address. He says that as much as he loves history and tradition, he loves change, then "The National Treasure" Nick Aldis shows up. Aldis welcomes him back and admits he does not like his loss from Slammiversary, then says that they both know each other and that he has a colleague in his war against Internet darlings who want to take over the company. Eric Young says he has mentioned what his new direction is, and while Nick Aldis has some good points and history is beautiful, he says that neither of them will be put in a box before saying they can have a match as part of "a beautiful history." Aldis and Eric shake hands.
We hear from Jake Something, who says that he is back and that everything in IMPACT will be his.
Jake Something beats Kevin Knight.
Courtney Rush beats Savannah Evans after Jessicka pulls "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw off the apron to stop her distracting the referee while Jody Threat shows up and carries Jai Vidal off after grabbing him by the ponytail.
We hear from The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) Taylor Wilde is irritated that Trinity is IMPACT Knockouts World Championship, and says that she and KiLynn King got screwed by Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly, now known as "MK Ultra." KiLynn King tells Dani Luna and Trinity that they are coming to kick their asses and make a statement, and Taylor Wilde says The Coven does not need batteries to glow.
IMPACT Wrestling thanks Windsor, Ontario, Canada, St. Clair College, Windsor Councillor Renaldo Agostino for their hospitality as last weekend was proclaimed and declared "IMPACT Wrestling Weekend" in the city of Windsor by Councillor Agostino. It is also announced that Slammiversary marked IMPACT's highest-attended event in four years, and that IMPACT hopes to return to Windsor in the near future.
In footage from earlier today, Tom Hannifan interviews Jonathan Gresham, who says that he can no longer hold his title anymore after Slammiversary, and asks why the X Division is not governed by a set of rules. He says that he fought for this in Ring of Honor, then says the X Division has no rules. Gresham then says this environment may not be for him, then leaves.
Dirty Dango beats Santino Marella after a person in riot gear shows up and attacks Santino as he goes for the Cobra. After the match, the person in the riot gear is revealed to be John E. Bravo.
Backstage, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw and Savannah Evans run into MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly) as they look for Jai Vidal. Gisele tells them to get out of her way, and Masha tells her to make them. Jody then returns Jai Vidal and tells them this had better be the last time she carries him off. Jai Vidal is shaken as Gisele demands a wardrobe change.
Backstage, we hear from Eddie and Alisha Edwards. Alisha says Traci Brooks being the equalizer at Slammiversary was not going to happen and that Traci is not half the woman she is. Traci shows up with Frankie Kazarian, then both sides brawl and security has to rush in.
Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) retain the IMPACT World Tag Team Championships against ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) after The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) show up. Wentz distracts the referee while Trey attacks Ace Austin from behind, and after a chain of pinfall reversals between Chris Bey and Mark Andrews, Andrews rolls Bey up to retain.
"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring. Alexander proclaims that it is good to be back, and that there is nothing that could wipe the smile off of his face right now. Alexander says that he loves the fans and that he loves Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and admits it is a little bittersweet being here, because the last time he was in an IMPACT ring, it was in Windsor, and it was one of the toughest days of his career and his life as he relinquished the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship that he fought so hard to win and keep. He tells the fans not to worry, as he will earn some gold, and with that being said, he took a lot of pride in being IMPACT World Champion, as he got to realize his dream when IMPACT took a chance on him and gave him the opportunity he needed and got, and he made the most of that opportunity. Josh then says it was all taken away from him in an instant due to a freak accident and he had to relinquish his title, and he promised that he would come back better than ever. Josh states he believed that promise wholeheartedly, but afterwards, he doubted himself for the first time in a long time as to whether or not he would follow through on that promise. When Rebellion happened, he watched as a fan, and at the end of the night, he saw Steve Maclin holding up the IMPACT World Champonship and got all the fuel he needed, and the sling come off and he went to work to get better. Josh says he worked to rehab and work more than the day before, and now, he is standing on his own two feet "100% medically cleared for in-ring competition." He then announces he is not here just to compete, but to take back the IMPACT World Championship. Josh admits he wanted to say this to Steve Maclin's face, but then Alex Shelley shocked the world and cemented his name amongst the greats when he became IMPACT World Champion at Against All Odds, and he was not surprised, for he knew how good Alex Shelley was. Josh then asks "Is Alex Shelley good enough to beat Josh Alexander?" Alex Shelley shows up, and says that while Josh coming back in four months is impressive, he knew he would consider the World Championship his because he never lost it. He then says the World Championship is his now, as he challenged for it twice and beat Maclin's ass the second time after having lost to Alexander. Shelley then reiterates Josh's question from earlier and talks about how Josh was able to live a dream as world champion, then tells Josh that at some point, he has to wake up. As for a rematch, Shelley says they should have one. Lio Rush then shows up and reminds both Josh and Shelley that he beat Chris Sabin and won the X Division Championship like he said he would, then states that if he wants to be World Champion, then there is only one thing he has to do: exercise Option C. KUSHIDA then shows up with the X from the Ultimate X Match around his neck and raises the microphone up before telling KUSHIDA there will be no Option C until Lio Rush faces him. Bully Ray then shows up, and as everyone in the ring is focused on him, Shelley, KUSHIDA and Josh are attacked from behind by Moose and Brian Myers, and Bully Ray joins in. Moose, Bully and Myers then give Lio Rush the opportunity to blast Shelley with the X Division Championship, but he walks out, and the three of them lay out Alex Shelley to end the show. (When the segment airs on AXS TV, it airs with absolutely no sound, and the show goes off with no warning after Bully Ray's entrance. The segment is also muted on Fight Network as well. Meanwhile, the YouTube members-only premiere was unaffected. As a result, the segment is aired in full on YouTube soon after the show goes off the air, and IMPACT Wrestling apologizes to the fanbase for the technical issues.)
