Before the next match, Joe Hendry says tonight is a momentum occasion because for the first time, all of the champions are in the same match at the same time, and while it is exciting, it is also concerning, as it is the perfect site for an outbreak of "Hendry-Mania." He says that he has just gotten off the phone with the Surgeon General, and to control the symptoms, one must incessantly chant "We Believe."

We hear from Crazzy Steve. He says what who he is is simple, but what he is is more complicated. He says he is a artist, wrestler and teacher or the delicate art of misery, and that one must instill hope only to take it away. He says that this is why he defends the Digital Media title when he gets in the ring, and regardless of his opponent, the story of their life will be their death.

Eric Young heads to the ring. Eric says Sacrifice is not just a show name, but a way of life, and that he has given his heart and soul to TNA and will do it again, and would give a thousand lifetimes to stand where he is standing now. He says that he desires the TNA World Championship and that Moose is holding it, and guarantees that he will keep coming forward, and while Moose may be one of the best to ever do it while all is said and do it and may destroy him, the dead don't get deader, and he will play for keeps. Moose shows up and calls Eric a world class maniac, as he has "all the stupid idiots" believing "all the bullcrap" that is coming out of his mouth, yet he has been in TNA for a very long time, and at Sacrifice, his time is over. He says Eric can bring all his passion and determination, but the outcome will still be the same and he will still be TNA World Champion. Moose says he has done his homework and that he knows Eric loves a good fight much like he does, and says they might as well go at it right now in a New Orleans street fight. He teases getting in the ring, but decides against it, saying that is not how the system works. Eric is suddenly attacked from behind by Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards. Myers and Eddie hold Eric down so that Moose can hit him with the Spear, then Alisha Edwards shows up with a chain and hands it to Moose.

JOYA (Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura) head to the ring for Yuya Uemura's goodbye ceremony from IMPACT Wrestling. Hendry says he usually does his best to be motivational, but tonight, he is not thrilled to talk about what happened at Feast or Fired leading to Yuya Uemura's firing and departure from IMPACT. He then says that one has to be thankful for the memories one does have, and that he has no regrets tagging with Yuya Uemura after giving 100% to entertain the fans before starting a "Thank you, Yuya" chant. Hendry then gives Yuya Uemura a chance to say his piece, but as soon as Yuya thanks the fans, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) show up. Trey says that while Yuya has been fired, JOYA has a excuse for why they will never be champions, and Wentz says that if they did challenge them for the tag team titles, they would fail. Hendry says "the second and third best Rascalz" know plenty about failure, then Hendry is talking a big game for someone who is about to be alone next week. Hendry says he will be alone, but not tonight, and JOYA brawl with The Rascalz before Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up. Santino says this is why we cannot have things and that The Rascalz had to spoil a beautiful send-off, then puts both teams in a match.

He then says he should be sitting on his throne, but Eric Young has returned. He says that he will return to his throne in his tower, and he will sit at his throne with the man he can trust: Kon. Deaner says the tower will be rebuilt on his shoulders, and the rebuilding starts with Josh Alexander, the man where Kon's journey began, and states that Alexander will not end well.

Chris Bey then proposes they have a "Fans' Revenge" match where fans have leather straps to hit The Good Hands with, but John Skyler shows up to state that Jason Hotch is at home with his newborn kid. Ace Austin dares Skyler to find someone in the locker room that he can tag with, asking Skyler "You have friends, right?"

Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling recap for August 3, 2023

"The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw beats Heather Reckless in the BTI match.

Trinity heads to the ring to start tonight's show. She says that Chicago, Illinois holds a special place in her heart, as this is the very building where she made her IMPACT debut and it is so surreal to her because not long ago, she was at her lowest and considered giving up on wrestling. She then reached her highest when she debuted in IMPACT Wrestling, and on that very night in that very same building, she said she would become Knockouts Champion, and now, she has done it. "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo suddenly shows up and states that if they are recreating Trinity's debut, it is only natural that she show up and interrupt her. The crowd chants "You tapped out" as Deonna says the only difference is that the role of champion and challenger and reversed as she congratulates her, and says she knows that while she knows what it is like to win the Knockouts Championship on the first opportunity after having done it herself. She then says the difference between herself and Trinity is that she is not a quitter. This leads to another "You tapped out" chant, which Trinity reminds her about. Deonna tells Trinity that she will get her title rematch and that nobody beats her twice, to which Trinity responds "I bet you I can." The Coven shows up, and KiLynn King says this is not "The Trinity and Deonna Show" and that nobody wants to hear Trinity speak or see Deonna's face again. KiLynn then mentions that she was Trinity's opponent during her debut, and the crowd chants "You lost." KiLynn tells Trinity that she got lucky that night and says that if things turned out differently, there would be a different Knockouts Champion in the ring right now. As she says that her loss does not sit well with her the more she thinks about it, Taylor Wilde mentions the fact that they are in Chicago and how she hates having been beaten by Trinity. Trinity dares The Coven to do something about it, and KiLynn proposes that Taylor give Trinity "a little card reading." Taylor throws her cards at Trinity and attacks her, and Deonna has to fend The Coven off with Trinity. Security separates all four women before Director of Authority Santino Marella arrives and makes a tag team match between all four women for later tonight. Deonna says she is here for a fight and wants the match right now, and the fans agree, leading Santino to make the match the first one of the night before security leaves.

The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) beat Trinity and "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo after Trinity inadvertently kicks Deonna in the head.

Backstage, we hear from The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz). Trey says this is their first tag team match in an IMPACT ring in three years, then says it should be for the tag team titles before saying they will beat Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham on the way to the titles. Wentz says that they will soon get their match with Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) and make the tag team titles theirs. Scott D'Amore shows up and docks them two weeks' pay for returning to the building after being ejected from it before telling them they will still have their tag team tournament tonight. He then tells them that if they interfere in any tournament matches, they will be suspended indefinitely.

Backstage, we hear from Eddie and Alisha Edwards. As Alisha brags about running Traci Brooks out of IMPACT, Jody Threat shows up and says Traci has decided Alisha is not worth her time. When Eddie tries to bully Jody, Jody pushes back, and when Alisha threatens to run Jody out of IMPACT, Jody challenges Alisha to a match next week. Alisha accepts.

Heath beats Alan Angels with the Wake-Up Call after ducking the Halo Strike.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Eric Young. Eric Young says he had a feeling that The Design (Deaner and Kon) would attack him and that he will deal with it very shortly. On the subject of his "death," he says the world who saw the video thought they knew the truth and that it was furthest from the truth, and that the world will see what really happened tonight.

Jake Something beats Davey Vega.

Backstge, Bully Ray, Brian Myers and Moose meet with Lio Rush. Bully Ray says they are excited and proud that he has joined them, but Lio Rush insists that he is not here to make friends, but Moose says they do not want him as a friend, but as a member of a team. Lio Rush says he can be trusted, but tells them that this will not last for long. Bully Ray says this can last forever if Lio lets it, then says that management does not like them and that he wants Lio to experience their trust. After mentioning that they want him to be on their team in a six-man tag match next week, Bully says that they can trust Lio unless he gives them a reason not to, then he, Moose and Myers leave.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says life is all about lessons, and he has learned that life is short and his title reigns are long. He then says that because life is short, one should tell their friends how they truly feel, including letting friends interject themselves into your title match and letting friends say the two magic words "We believe." After Yuya Uemura makes his entrance, he simply introduces himself as a champion.

Kenny King retains the IMPACT Wrestling Digital Media Championship against Yuya Uemura and Joe Hendry after Sheldon Jean pulls Hendry out of the ring from the outside and Kenny shoves Uemura into Hendry before hitting the Royal Flush to retain.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the Week is Mike Bailey vs. Jack Evans for the IMPACT Wrestling X Division Championship from Emergence 2022.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "Speedball" Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham. Gresham says he is feeling confident in beating The Rascalz, especially with Bailey, but Bailey says he had to convince Gresham that they stand a chance of winning together due to rules not being enforced. Gresham reminds him that he lost his last match because of cheating, but Bailey says they can win as long as they have the right mindset and optimism. Gresham says optimism does not win matches and that they must watch each others' backs.

We hear from Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA), who want a match with Moose, Brian Myers, Bully Ray and Lio Rush at Emergence.

Backstage, The Death Dollz (Courtney Rush and Jessicka) try to figure out how to get a Knockouts Tag Team Championship match when they run into Crazzy Steve. Steve says they need to talk, but Courtney and Jessicka are too busy trying to get a tag title match.

The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) beat "Speedball" Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham to advance in the #1 Contender's Tag Team Championship Tournament after Wentz tosses a can of spray paint to Trey, who sprays paint into Gresham's eyes behind the referee's back.

We see a video that shows what happened after Deaner supposedly killed Eric Young. Deaner puts the bloody shank on the table, then Eric Young suddenly comes back to life and crawls to his motorcycle before riding off into the night. Eric Young ponders both life and death, particularly death itself and its finality, then says that death can be beautiful and that he is not dead yet. He says he has lived a thousand lives in the business and that while a man can be killed, a body can be disposed of, and flesh can be removed, an idea is eternal and can live forever. Eric Young says that he is more than a man, more than life, more than death, then says that he is an idea and that he will live forever.

Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling LIVE recap for July 6, 2023

Dirty Dango beats Crazzy Steve in the BTI match following a thumb to the eye. After the match, Dango says that even when he wins, he still hates professional wrestling, and that something he will love is putting an end to "that stupid puppet show" Director of Authority Santino Marella next month in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He says Santino should be ashamed of himself for putting on a puppet show, then Santino shows up and tells Dirty Dango that he has had enough of him and that he will give him the beating of a lifetime after what he said about his family. Santino goes on to call Dango a "son of a bitch," and as he tells Dango what he will do to him, Dango is hit from behind with a Wake-Up Call by Heath.

Eddie Edwards beats Frankie Kazarian. During the match, Alisha Edwards distracts the referee, and Eddie rams Kazarian - who has him in the crossface chickenwing - right into the back of the ref in the corner. As the ref is down, Alisha hits Kazarian in the back with a Kendo stick as he goes for the Flux Capacitor. Eddie then hits the Boston Knee Party for the win.

We hear from Chris Sabin, who says that if Lio Rush wants to jump the line to face him for the X Division Championship, then he will give him what he wants at Slammiversary so he can get his ass whipped by the greatest X Division Championship of all time.

Gia Miller interviews Lio Rush. Lio Rush says he is not here to make friends, and he does not care if people do not like what he did last week. As he says he is here for the X Division Championship, "The National Treasure" Nick Aldis confronts Lio Rush for getting in his business, saying that he is here to make history - not friends - and that their championship aspirations are the only thing he has in common. He says that the two of them have to get the win tonight and go their separate ways before telling him not to let his ego or any momentum he has get in either his way or his own way.

Backstage, Frankie Kazarian congratulates Eddie Edwards on winning tonight by any costs before saying that it is not how Killer Kowalski trained either of them. He then says they have won one match each and proposes a rubber match at Slammiversary, and says that she will bring his wife Traci Brooks ringside to even the odds.

Rich Swann and Sami Callihan beat Champagne Singh and Shera.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Moose and Brian Myers. Myers says he and Moose are the best team in IMPACT and that they are focused and ready for Slammiversary, and Moose says Rich Swann and Sami Callihan may have had reps, but they do not have the real competition that they will give them at Slammiversary. Moose says he has something to prove, and while Rich Swann beat him, they will beat Rich Swann and Sami Callihan.

We hear from Dirty Dango. He says that he hadn't watched pro wrestling since "it was cool" in 1998, and when he got into the business, he was let down by how much it had changed. He says that the nearby concrete buckling is more fun than getting in the ring with someone who is nervous and will injure him, and tells the IMPACT roster to go back to school. He calls Director of Authority Santino Marella "a one-hit wonder" who is still living in 2005 and is the wrestling equivalent of "Yoko Ono performing in concert and yodeling the whole time." He also calls Heath, who he will face next week, as "another hanger-on" who will never get the jump on him again before telling him he should find work at Home Depot, and says the last thing Heath should be doing is becoming the next Santino Marella.

Jonathan Gresham beats Angels with the Octopus. After the match, Deaner tells Angels to leave the ring when Gresham offers to shake Angels' hand. Deaner gets in the ring and confronts Angels, but as he points at him, Angels grabs his hand and repeats his point before shaking Gresham's hands and walking away while an angry Deaner yells at Kon.

We hear from ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey). Austin says Slammiversary is on the horizon and that they have the match to look before, and while the deck is stacked against them, it is nothing they cannot handle, and Bey says they will do the courtesy of teaching Moose and Brian Myers the alphabet. Suddenly, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) show up wanting a shot at the tag team titles, but Bey tells them that while they have won tag team gold elsewhere, they have never won it in IMPACT, and that they need to go to the back of the line. Zachary proposes a match between himself and Bey where if he wins, The Rascalz get a shot at the tag team titles. Bey likes the idea and accepts the challenge.

Backstage, PCO is seen playing with live jumper cables while Scott D'Amore enjoys what is going on.

We see a recap of the sights and sounds of Wagga Wagga, Australia from IMPACT Wrestling's recent Australian show as well as scenes from a meeting at Indie School, an alternate school for those with mental health and traumatic issues.

Backstage, Trinity meets with "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo to thank her for having her back last week, but questions the speed at which he helped her out. Trinity says she does not need anyone's help, and Deonna says she does not need anybody's help, either. She proposes that they prove that next week when she issues a championship open challenge so she does not forget that. Trinity says she will not forget if Deonna educates herself before Slammiversary.

Before the next match, John Skyler says picked a fight with Scott D'Amore, who has taken a leave of absence from IMPACT Wrestling, only to have a fight with PCO, who has taken a leave of absence from reality. He says that monsters are usually scary, but after looking at the crowd, he cannot tell between PCO and "the mutants out here in Georgia" before stating that PCO will be the monster who is slain by "these good hands."

PCO beats The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) in a two-on-one handicap match. After the match, Jason Hotch confronts Scott D'Amore, and when he pokes D'Amore in the chest, D'Amore takes his glasses and watch off. Hotch slaps D'Amore, but D'Amore fights back and hits him with the Sky High. Before he can hit Hotch with a Canadian Destroyer, Bully Ray shows up, and Steve Maclin shows up from behind and hits PCO with a low blow before smacking D'Amore with a chair. Bully Ray gets in the ring and hits both PCO and D'Amore with the chair before Maclin handcuffs D'Amore to the top rope. Maclin instructs Hotch to get a table out from underneath the ring, and a handcuff D'Amore spits at Maclin before Bully Ray throws D'Amore's watch at him. D'Amore can only watch as Buly Ray and Maclin put PCO through the table. Bully Ray then teases hitting D'Amore with a chair before he and Maclin throw PCO down an exit ramp leading backstage. D'Amore then throws a chair at Bully, and Bully Ray and Maclin briefly surround the ring before leaving and attacking PCO backstage. Bully chokes PCO with the chair before Maclin pours battery acid into PCO's mouth. Bully Ray then pours two bottles' worth of lighter fluid before lighting him up with a match. A flaming PCO gets up and stumbles a few feet before falling onto the cameraperson.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Scott D'Amore as D'Amore frantically searches for PCO.

Backstage, Kenny King and Sheldon Jean are constantly reminded of the "Stripper Kenny" video from last week. Joe Hendry shows up, and Kenny King tells Hendry that he made his life hell after last week and that he will make his life rough. Sheldon Jean says he cannotb elieve anything that comes out of Hendry's mouth and that he and Kenny always back up what they say, and that Hendry has nobody in his corner. Hendry suddenly summons Yuya Uemura, and Kenny and Sheldon leave. Hendry asks Uemura what the Japanese word for "champion" is, to which Uemura answers "Champion."

Lio Rush and "The National Treasure" Nick Aldis beat The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) with a low blow from Lio Rush to Chris Sabin as Sabin goes after Aldis before hitting the Final Hour for the win.

Dustin Starr interviews "The Best of the Best" Austin Lane and "Smokin' Hot" Nikki Lane - the former of whom has been recently fined and suspended for a month - at the announce desk. Nikki demands that Austin be shown some respect, and Austin says he does not care how much people boo him because the fans do not sign his check, then says that the championship committee gives more television time to goofballs who want to dress up and have a good time than to him and that he plans to fix that. He then says that The Posse (Simon and Mr. Roberts) gets main events for attacking Tommy Dreamer, as does "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts for attacking Mike Anthony, yet he gets suspended for attacking Jerry Lynn, who can stay at home with his family and leave the business to people like him. He then says he will not return to the ring until the free wrestling event at Beale Street later today.

He says it was not long ago when he was the most hated man in Memphis Wrestling, but now he is respected by all. He then says that redemption comes with a heavy price, and while he put "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts down in a matter of seconds, Roberts brought his family out for back-up. Mike Anthony then calls out any member of the Roberts Family Legacy (Aaron Roberts, Cordale Roberts, Big Red) to fight him in the ring. The Roberts Family Legacy surrounds the ring, and Cordale Roberts faces Anthony.

Mike Anthony vs. Cordale Roberts ends with "The Problem Child" Aaron Roberts and Big Red attacking Mike Anthony.

She also admits things got intense between Jordynne Grace and "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo, and while one on them will walk out as champion this weekend, she has her own business to take care of "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw, who she says is more of drama queen than a diva who has Jai Vidal doing her dirty work. Trinity says she has won in her debut and looks forward to beating Gisele at Under Siege.

We see a video package for PCO vs. Steve Maclin for the IMPACT World Championship at Under Siege.

Nick Aldis guests on commentary for the next match.

Kenny King and Sheldon Jean beat Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus). After the match, Kenny King says that what happened to Decay is what happens to people who take him on. He then says he is happy that Nick Aldis got a front row seat before claiming he will shove his royal boot up Aldis' "pompous British ass." Nick Aldis says Kenny King can talk all he wants, but he has heard nothing about him and keeps his name in his mouth, and only wants to make a name for himself at his expense. He then says he needs to work his way up to being a man and not a little bitch, then says he trotted Sheldon Jean out just so he could tap out in five minutes before proposing a "2-for-1 bitchslap special." After Nick Aldis beats up Sheldon Jean, Kenny flees the ring and tells Aldis he will see him tomorrow.

Backstage, Jessicka's hourglass has nearly run out as Jessicka heads to the ring for a match.

Taylor Wilde quickly beats Havok. After the match, The Coven attacks Jessicka. After the match, the door to the Undead Realm opens, and Courtney Rush - not Rosemary - suddenly shows up and fights off The Coven just before time runs out. After The Coven flee, Rosemary and Courtney Rush hug.

We hear from Dirty Dango, who says he watched during the Attitude Era while most of the locker room is from "The Gratitude Era" and don't want to be starters. He says he does not need to be in IMPACT because he gets money elsewhere, then says everyone is too preoccupied with social media than the live crowd, which tells him that the business is heading towards hard times. He says that if they were men like him, he would not be as concerned. Dango then says people pay to see him and that he is a star and that he is money. Dango also considers Santino Marella a joke that is stuck in 2010, then says he used to like Joe Hendry until realizing he is "just another stooge" with "a toy belt" and like everyone else.

We see a video package for the six-way match to determine a #1 contender for the Impact World Championship at Under Siege.

Chris Bey beats John Skyler after fighting off Brian Myers.

Steve Maclin heads to the ring. He says that his World title match with PCO at Under Siege is not happening, as while PCO is not human, he is dead because he killed him. He then states he will defend the IMPACT World Championship against an opponent of his own choosing, who is the most up-and-coming talent in Impact: Champagne Singh. Champagne Singh and Shera heads to the ring. Singh says he will finish his story on "the long and winding road to the World Championship" at Under Siege only to get booed. Singh then unrolls a paper containing names of people he wants to thank, but he only mentions Gama Singh before Scott D'Amore shows up.Singh says that he has D'Amore's name on the list and says D'Amore can put pen to paper and make the match official, but D'Amore says that this match is not happening. Maclin accuses D'Amore of stacking the deck against him to take the World title away from him at any cost, but D'Amore says his paranoia has taken over before saying the person he really wants as champion is the best in the world. Maclin says it is him, but D'Amore says he has to compete with the best to prove that, as iron sharpens iron and Singh is "far from iron." He says that he is fine with Maclin being world champion as long as he proves himself night in and night out. Maclin says he proved himself by becoming the champion and mentions D'Amore throwing the title into his face when he won it. D'Amore apologizes and offers to shake his hand and hand him the belt respectfully if he wins at Under Siege. Maclin says the time came and went at Rebellion, then tells Scott D'Amore to give him the respect he deserves, for as long as he is champion, D'Amore title means nothing and the world title means he is his boss. He says that D'Amore will know his place and put the title around his waist if he wins, and D'Amore obliges. Maclin says it is time he came to his senses, then wants to know who PCO's replacement is. D'Amore says there is no replacement because he will face PCO. D'Amore then says that PCO is here tonight, and the lights go out. PCO is in the ring when the lights come back on, and Maclin retreats before PCO lays out Singh and Shera. Maclin then screams "I killed you!" to PCO, who screams "You can't kill me!" back.

Backstage, Scott D'Amore admits to "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander that going sixty minutes with "Speedball" Mike Bailey went better than expected, but Alexander says that was not his intention even though Bailey is the real deal. When Alexander says he will call out Bully Ray tonight, D'Amore tells him that Bully has a match and not to interfere with it. Tommy Dreamer shows up and apologizes to Alexander for thinking Bully Ray was trustworthy, and extends his hand. Alexander refuses to accept his apology, as he feels Dreamer was in on everything Bully Ray was doing. D'Amore says Dreamer is one of the most honest people he has ever known, but Alexander is not having any of it.

Bully Ray quickly beats John Skyler. After the match, Tommy Dreamer heads to the ring and confronts Bully Ray that they were friends and that he vouched for him, and that he thought for one moment, he had changed. He says that Josh Alexander will kick Bully Ray's at Hard to Kill and that he will not be part of his of negativity, then tells him that he is here not to fight him, but that their friendship is over and that he will have nothing else to do with him again. Tommy Dreamer says that if he wants to put him on the spot, then he will put Bully on the spot. Bully is unflustered and tells Dreamer to walk away, and says that Dreamer is nothing but "a jealous coward" and "a nobody." He says that if D-Von Dudley walked in his shadow, then Tommy Dreamer walked ten steps behind at all times, then says he was a bigger star than him in ECW, WWE, Impact and all over the world. Bully Ray says that some consider Tommy "a failure in the wrestling business," and when Tommy gets on the ring apron, Bully Ray tries to keep him out of the ring before saying Tommy will not take a swing. He says that Tommy became "a fat bastard" while he became "a wrestling machine," then admits that he attacked Ace Austin and knew that Dreamer would go to bat for him, and that he used Dreamer and got what he wanted. Dreamer starts crying, then Bully calls him a bitch. Dreamer says that Bully knows what he has gone through, especially with his mother, and says that he did what he did for the business because he loves it.

Bully tells Dreamer that he is in his head on his way to the back.

The Major Players (Matt Cardona and Brian Myers) beat Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus). Before the match, Crazzy Steve is attacked from behind by Trey Miguel, who then tags Crazzy Steve in the back with spray paint. Despite the cheap shot, Crazzy Steve is still willing to compete.

Backstage, Scott D'Amore presides over a contract signing between Jordynne Grace and Mickie James for their title vs. career match at Hard To Kill. Jordynne says that she knows means to the both of them, then says she will say her peace in the ring and signs the contract. Mickie says Jordynne is acting like this is a foregone conclusion and that she has already won. Jordynne denying this, saying she is letting Mickie have her moment, but Mickie says she has many moments against the greatest that Jordynne could only dream about. She says that she will have one more at Hard To Kill, then signs the contract before Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans show up. Tasha Steelz says that Mickie James has yet to defeat her and that "The Last Rodeo" is not complete without her. Mickie says there is a month until Hard To Kill and that she has a lot of time. Jordynne says it is a little too late and that the paperwork is already signed, but Mickie says she does not need Jordynne's help. D'Amore then says that since everyone wants to fight, Mickie James and Jordynne Grace can take on Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans in a tag team match next week.

In backstage footage from last week, "Speedball" Mike Bailey gets a standing ovation, and Kenny King says that despite his beef with Bailey, he has appreciation for what he has done. He then spits water in his face and shoves him, and that gets him kicked out.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "Speedball" Mike Bailey, who says Kenny King is trying to get under his skin. If Kenny wants to face him in the ring, he will do that, but he will not play along with his games and continue on his quest to be the best.

Sami Callihan beats Alan Angels, now known as just "Angels." After the match, Deaner and Callihan have a staredown until Callihan is attacked from behind by Kon.

Backstage, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw and Jai Vidal meet with "The Virtuousa" Deonna Purrazzo and wants to get back together as a tag team, but Deonna says that Gisele broke up VXT and should be apologizing to her. After Jai Vidal stops things from getting out of hand, Gisele Shaw says that they need a fresh start, and that even though Deonna wants the Knockouts Championship, the Knockouts Tag Team Championship are sitting there waiting to be taken. Deonna reluctantly agrees, then the three of them huddle together to form a plan.

We see a vignette of Taylor Wilde using tarot cards.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says he has no idea what goes on in Swinger's Dungeon, but he does hear a lot of screaming, slapping, moaning and whining when he passes by. He then says that in Hendry's Dungeon, you only hear one joyous sound of "We Believe," and that everyone believes in Joe Hendry.

Bhupinder Gujjar and Joe Hendry beat Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice. During the match, Moose suddenly jumps the barricade to attack Joe Hendry, but Joe Hendry sees it coming. Moose goes after Hendry with a steel chair as Hendry backs up to the back and says that they can "settle things with HR." This leaves Bhupinder Gujjar fighting solo, and he handily wins the match against Johnny Swinger and Zicky Dice.

Backstage, John Skyler sits with Jason Hotch. Hotch says there is no respect in Impact Wrestling, and Skyler notes that Hotch does not get any respect and that everyone just calls them "good hands" like some sort of backhanded compliment. Hotch says he gets it and says he would love to step in the ring with him, and Skyler says he would also love to do that, but as part of a tag team. Both men shake on it not with a handshake, but with a "hands shake."

We hear from Steve Maclin, who says he was trained to do everything by the book and that getting everyone home was the reward. He says that is not the case in Impact Wrestling, as he can do anything to beat former world champions yet gets no reward for it. He then says that he must change up his tactics to get closer to the Impact World Championship, and that Rich Swann is the wrong place at the wrong time in the world of the wrong guy.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) beat Heath and Rhino to win the Impact World Tag Team Championships for the third time. The Major Players (Matt Cardona and Brian Myers) are banned from ringside during this match. During the match, Rhino hits Sabin with a Gore as Shelley tries to distract the ref, but Sabin kicks out of the Gore.
