Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling recap for October 5, 2023

Savannah Evans beats Jessicka in the BTI Match.

Tasha Steelz beats Killer Kelly after "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo pulls the referee out of the ring as Kelly has Tasha in a sleeper hold.

Backstage, John Skyler asks Savannah Evans to be her tag team partner. "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw says everyone knows Skyler has been begging online, but Skyler calls Savannah "the first girl" he has asked. Jai Vidal tells Skyler he just messed up, but Gisele mentions Jai Vidal costing her a victory recently and makes him Skyler's tag team partner, much to Skyler's aggravation.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Jonathan Gresham. As Gresham talks about incompetent refs and wrestlers getting away with things, "Speedball" Mike Bailey confronts Gresham wanting to know what he is doing. Gresham walks away.

Tommy Dreamer heads to the ring. Dreamer says he has asked IMPACT for this time to address Crazzy Steve, and calls Crazzy Steve out. Crazzy Steve shows up and heads to the ring with his Feast or Fired briefcase. Dreamer mentions Steve's attack on him with the Feast or Fired briefcase, then mentions that he and Steve have been friends for a long time and that Steve is also legitimately blind. Dreamer also talks about the one night he taught Steve how to drive and how it was the one time he felt normal, then compares what Steve had to go through his mother with what he had to go through with his own father. He says that if Steve wanted a Digital Media title shot, all he had to do was ask, as he and the fans love him, and at the end of the day, it is all about creating moments and Steve is his friend and he deserves it. A visibly sobbing Crazzy Steve hugs Dreamer, but it is all a ruse to stab Dreamer in the back with a fork. Steve tells Dreamer that he is not his friend as referees and security plead with Steve to stop, then leaves with his briefcase.

Jake Something, Dirty Dango, Champagne Singh, Eric Young and Jordynne Grace beat Brian Myers, Shera, KiLynn King, Jody Threat and Bully Ray in a ten-person tag match after Jake Something attacks Dirty Dango and the rest of his team and hits Shera with Into The Void. His team will go on to the five-way match next week that will determine the #1 and #20 spots in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match at Bound For Glory.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Josh Alexander. He says it may not be the wisest decision to take on Kon tonight, but having been a champion, he does not back down from a challenge. He says that iron sharpens iron and that is how one challenges one's self. Alex Shelley shows up and says a champion's mentality can get one in a lot of trouble, and while he has a lot of respect for Alexander for what he has done, he wants to make sure Alexander is at his best at Bound For Glory and will be in his corner to ensure that.

We see a video package chronicling Mickie James' relinquishing of the Knockouts Championship and her return to the championship scene against Trinity at Bound For Glory.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Trinity. Trinity says Mickie James' rematch was to be expected as she never lost the title, but she has known Mickie for years and she owes it to her to bring her best. She also plans to walk out the same way she walks in: as champion.

Before the next match, John Skyler calls the Memphis, Tennessee fans "a bunch of insufferable, illiterate pigs," and says that when he tosses Ace Austin and Chris Bey out of the ring "despite [his] horrible tag partner," he wants the fans to whip them with their good hands.

ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) beat John Skyler and Jai Vidal in a Fans' Revenge Match.

We see a video package chronicling the feud between the team of Eddie and Alisha Edwards and the team of Frankie Kazarian and Traci Brooks.

Moose beats Bhupinder Gujjar. After the match, Steve Maclin shows up and heads to the ring. After the commercial break, Maclin says that the Feast or Fired Briefcase and the World title shot that comes with it is his and that Rhino stopped him from getting it, and demands that Moose hand him the briefcase. Moose says Maclin may be crazy, but he is not dumb, and says there is two of him and one of Maclin, and thinks this is a trick by Bully Ray. Maclin says this is no trick and that Bully Ray has gone soft, then says he is not scared of PO after beating him and he is not scared of Moose. He says that Moose will either give him the briefcase, or he will take it from him. The lights go out, then lightning strikes, and when the lights come back on, PCO is in the ring. Moose and Maclin fight over the briefcase after Myers is booted out of the ring, and PCO clotheslines them both. As Maclin makes his way to the back, he is Gored from out of nowhere by Rhino.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) tag the tag team titles with a big green "R," and as Director of Authority Santino Marella chews them out, ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) shows up and challenges The Rascalz for the titles at Bound For Glory. Sami Callihan and Rich Swann show up and mention that they have beaten Subculture, then Santino locks in ABC's cash-in at Bound For Glory before giving a title shot to Sami and Swann.

We hear from Chris Sabin, who says that he and KENTA will make history when they face each other for the first time at Bound For Glory and that he will be walking out as the X Division Champion.

Alex Shelley guests on commentary for the next match.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Kon. During the match, the ref goes down after Big Kon's boot hits him as Alexander tries to keep him up. Deaner tries to hit Alexander with a chair on the outside, and Shelley takes the chair away only for Alexander to inadvertently hit him.
