That person is Adam Cole, whom he invites to the ring.

He says that he can see the fire in Breakker's eye, but he sees a fire that he has to stomp out and a roadmap for the pain he has to inflict, for the ring is his theater and he plans to tear the meat from his bones and become NXT Champion. Breakker says he has never been in the ring with someone like JD McDonagh, and after studying his NXT UK career, he says that McDonagh is so smart that he knows to target his mind. He then says everyone has a plan until he breaks them in half. He says that when the NXT Championship is on the line, he is an animal, and McDonagh will be in a lot of pain. McDonagh says the both of them believe everything that comes out of their mouths, but the difference between them is that Breakker endures pain while he welcomes it. When it comes time to sign the contract, McDonagh says he sees fear and apprehension in Breakker's face and demands Breakker sign first. Breakker signs after saying he does not fear anything with a heartbeat. McDonagh says this summit will not end in violence, but it will end in blood. He then pricks his finger and signs the contract in his own blood, much to the surprise of Breakker and Wade Barrett. Breakker raises the NXT Championship when McDonagh goes for a handshake.

She says she does not want to be associated with Cora - who she knows better than anyone - again.

He says that while Goldberg is an icon who is still capable of annihilating anyone, he challenged "The All Mighty." He says that while Goldberg is a gladiator, Lashley is a larger than life kaiju. The fans then chant "Goldberg," and MVP says that if Lashley accepts Goldberg's challenge, it could be the last match of Goldberg's career. MVP then asks Goldberg if he wants to be remembered as a champion or a casualty, then Goldberg shows up. Goldberg says that if anyone should be worried about losing something, it should be Lashley who should be worried about losing the WWE Championship, and says MVP is "nothing but scared" while Lashley looks scared. He says that he knows that Lashley sees him as a high-level athlete and a gladiator, but questions himself and shows weakness, and asks if he is up for the challenge, for the first time he saw him, he saw him as the next victim. Goldberg tells him that Chicago, Illinois is not Lashley coliseum and that the fans in the town can smell fear a mile away, and that Lashley is either scared or out of his mind. He then says that no matter his age, "Goldberg will always be Goldberg," as he lives by the Spear and Lashley will die by the Spear, and at SummerSlam, Lashley is next. After Goldberg leaves, MVP points out Goldberg's son Gage in the front row, and Lashley confronts him.

Priest responds by telling Miz and John Morrision that they are out of their minds. He says that Sheamus was medically cleared and knew what to do, then asks The Miz what is wrong with his knee, if he will ever wrestle again or if he has a "different situation" between his legs. Miz says he has never been injured in the sixteen years in his business and is so injured he cannot stand, and says if he was not injured, he would smack the taste out of his mouth. Priest dares him to. Miz does not. As Priest says that he has seen tough guys like Miz before, Morrison stands up and threatens to moisten him with a Drip Stick before saying that Miz's wheelchair will be in a museum while kids will want to grow up to be like Miz and Morrison. Priest there is not a kid who wants to grow up to be second fiddle to The Miz or a loudmouth who will use anyone to get what he wants, including Morrison. He then says he was here to challenge Sheamus, but now he is royally pissed and wants a match with Morrision. Miz tries to squirt Priest with a Drip Stick.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for August 2, 2018



Allie and Kiera Hogan beat Su Yung and The Undead Bridesmaid. At the beginning of the match, Allie and Kiera Hogan have to fight through Su Yung's undead bridesmaids before getting to Su Yung and her tag team partner. After the match, Tessa Blanchard gets in the ring and blindsides Allie before hitting her with a Hammerlock DDT.





We see footage from during the break where Tessa Blanchard states that she can see right through Allie, who can't even save herself even though she wants to help and save everyone else, and couldn't save herself from her at Slammiversary. She says Allie cares about one thing: the Knockouts Championship, and she is trying to weasel her way into another opportunity by "doing the right thing." Blanchard says the difference between her and Allie is that she knows who she is and what she wants, and unlike Allie, she does not hide from that truth. She says Allie only want to help herself, and if she thinks she is getting another title shot before her, she is sadly mistaken.

Next week: Eddie Edwards vs. Austin Aries for the Impact World Championship!

The OG'z (Homicide and Hernandez) quickly beat Nathan Smokes and Ray Steele. After the match, King hits one of The OG'z beaten opponents with a sling before saying that The OG'z took The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) out before taking the tag titles and making them their own. He asks where the "two young boy bitches and the old man" are, and mocks the crowd for chanting for LAX before saying that The OG'z are the streets and that LAX is dead, whether the people like it or not. Suddenly, Santana and Ortiz storm out and brawl with Homicide and Hernandez while Konnan directs traffic, and The OG'z are tosses out of the ring before Santana takes them out with a tope con hilo. Suddenly, Ortiz pulls out a small hand ax, and two members of security have to take the ax away from him. The two members of security are quickly made work of, and Ortiz has the ax in his hand again. Konnan has to hold TLAX back while King holds back The OG'z, and Homicide almost uses the ring bell as a weapon.





Backstage, Konnan tries to calm Santana and Ortiz down, telling them not to come out with anger as they walked into a potential trap. He tells them that he know what The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez) are going to do before they do it, and while they are acting out of anger, jealousy and greed, they are still scared. All The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz) did was hit and run, and that timing is everything. When the time is right, The OG'z will be kissing the ring and will become nothing more than a distant memory like everyone else who has tried to take them out.



It is announced that LAX (Santana and Ortiz) and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) will do battle at Chris Jericho's Rock 'n Wrestling Rager at Sea in October!

He is proud of the time he has put into the championship, and says that what he has lost is a material thing. Material things mean nothing to him, and that being a champion is an un-permanent state that had to end, and it ended with an opponent he thought he could beat. Cage may have taken the title from him, but he has given him a lesson and has shown him that he does not know the way fully just yet, as there is more in store for him in this universe than even he expects. The X Division Championship is no longer his destination anymore "as the stars and their courses have no destination, the train of events will arrive at no station, and the most and ultimate self of us all is laughing on nothing and having a ball." He thanks Cage for the lesson and the X Division Championship for the love, and says that he needs to look deeper into himself, open his third eye even wider, and ask the deepest, truest questions as one must think for themselves and question everything.
