Emergence 2023 - The LIVE Results

"Speedball" Mike Bailey beats Alan Angels on the Countdown.

Before the next match, John Skyler states that he and Jason Hotch are from the United States of America and that the Canadian fans should be thanking them and thanking America for without America, all they would have is Tom Green and Nickelback (which leads to a "Nickelback" chant). Jason Hotch says that American protects Canada and that it is the only reason nobody wants to invade "this wimpy little country." Skyler says nobody can protect Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura from the beating that they will give them. Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura then head to the ring with their own team entrance under the new team name "JOYA."

Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura - now collectively known as "JOYA" - beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) on the Countdown.

He says John Lennon needed Paul McCartney, Paul Simon needed Art Garfunkel, and Daryl Hall needed John Oates. Right now, "Joe needs Yuya." When Hendry asks Yuy a question, Yuya takes the microphone and says "Can I get a JOYA?" Gia Miller, initially hesitant, gives them a "JOYA."

Kenny King retains the IMPACT Wrestling Digital Media Championship against Johnny Swinger despite Sheldon Jean being ejected and Heath hitting Kenny with the Wake-Up Call as the referee is ejecting Sheldon Jean. After the match, Kenny King and Sheldon Jean attack Johnny Swinger, and referees show up to stop the attack before Tommy Dreamer shows up with security. King then attacks Dreamer completely unprovoked before he and Sheldon Jean leave.

We hear from "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) backstage. Shelley says that if Bully Ray, Brian Myers, Moose and Lio Rush want to keep attacking them, they can do it in the ring where the action belongs. He says that they are the four pillars of IMPACT and represent the excellence of the industry, and tonight, they do it in their own back yard. Sabin says he cannot wait to get his hands on Lio Rush and give him a taste of the beating he will give him in the future after Lio ducked him at Slammiversary. Alexander says there is nowhere left to run or hide, and he is excited to make a return to an IMPACT ring against Bully, Myers, Moose and Lio Rush. KUSHIDA says that tonight, there is no escape.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) beat Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) to become the IMPACT Wrestling World Tag Team Championships!

Despite Webster tagging in, The Rascalz are able to double-team him to win the titles.

Backstage, we hear from Brian Myers, Lio Rush, Moose and Bully Ray. Myers says that tonight is the night and that "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) do not have what it takes. Bully Ray states that as of tonight, he is proud to say that Lio Rush is on their side after having done so much for them and that he is proud of him for that as he hugs. Lio Rush says that he is a man of his word and that he has been ready and focused, then asks if he can trust Bully Ray regarding PCO. Bully says he has everything worked out for tonight, then Moose says that they are all great and that they are all scumbags, and tonight, they will show the world why they are the greatest assembly of scumbags ever put together.

SANADA beats Jake Something. Both men shake hands after the match.

Bully Ray, Moose, Brian Myers and Lio Rush beat "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) in an eight-man tag team match. During the match, Alexander has Moose in a Sharpshooter when Brian Myers gets on the top turnbuckle and takes out the referee as Moose is tapping out. With the referee down, Moose is able to put Chris Sabin with a table with a Uranage, and Lio Rush is able to put KUSHIDA through a table with The Final Hour. As Bully Ray is about to put Chris Sabin through a table from the entrance ramp, the lights go out, and when they come back on, PCO shows up and beats up Bully Ray, but Brian Myers stops PCO with a low blow before he can choke slam Bully Ray through the table. This allows, Moose, Myers and Bully to hit PCO with a three-man powerbomb through the table, which PCO immediately gets up from to the shock of all three men. After back body dropping Moose and Myers back into the ring, PCO chases after Bully Ray, but he is attacked by a man in a jacket who happens to be Steve Maclin, who has not been seen in months. Alexander sees Maclin and immediately attacks him on the stage, which leads to a brawl that has to be broken up by security officers after Maclin attacks Alexander's surgically repaired left tricep. Alexander is able to get back in the ring and keep going, but Myers eventually shoves Alexander into Shelley, which causes an argument between the both of them before Shelley walks out on the match, allowing Moose to hit the Spear on a distracted Alexander for the win.
