Eddie Edwards is looking for Davey Richards backstage...

Brandi Rhodes and Moose congratulate each other on a job well done backstage.

Eddie Edwards shows up, and says he's here to whip Davey Richards' ass...something he thought he'd never say until the events of last week's main event. He calls out Davey, telling him to take his ass whipping like a man. Angelina Love shows up, saying he only gets Davey when she says he gets Davey. She wants to know where Eddie was when Davey tore his ACL and was healing from his injury, and says Eddie was out doing his own thing. She then brings out Davey, and Eddie tells Angelina to give Davey his balls back so he can explain himself. Davey says he made Eddie as well as the Wolves Nation, and if Eddie is smart, he will walk away before he exposes him like the little bitch that he is. Eddie immediately runs towards him, starting a brawl, and security has their hands full. Eddie gets back in the ring and challenges Davey to an anything goes street fight tonight.

In footage from last week, "The Miracle" Mike Bennett and Braxton Sutter are at a bachelor party for Sutter that Bennett has set up. It becomes pretty obvious that Braxton Sutter doesn't want to be here and the people that are here for the party aren't exactly friends of Sutter, either.

The Broken Hardys ("Broken" Matt Hardy and Brother Nero) are at the arena in Tijuana, Mexico, for the search of some tag team champions.

Maria Kanellis-Bennett, Sienna and Laurel Van Ness run into Allie's decorations for Laurel's bachelorette party, and Maria is not impressed. Maria wants Allie to step it up as Laurel Van Ness is marrying Braxton Sutter...which makes Allie sad pretty quickly.

Jessie Godderz beats Eddie Kingston. When the lights go out after the match, Jessie wisely gets out of the ring before they come back, allowing him to avoid "The Cowboy" James Storm and Bram.

One of the guys at the bachelor party tries to get Braxton Sutter to loosen up. Braxton Sutter tries to leave, but "The Miracle" Mike Bennett tries to get him to stay. One of the guys at the party gets drunk, climbs up a ladder, and falls on the guy who tried to get Sutter to loosen up.

One Night Only: February 2017 is available now!

At the bachelorette party, Allie tries to get Maria-Kanellis Bennett to cheer up, but Allie is not even interested in her choice of decor for the bachelorette party. Sienna only cares about the champagne and wants to drink it now.

Tyrus hots Fact of Life, and his guest for tonight is Eli Drake, the usual host for the show. Eli Drake tells Tyrus he left him last week because he didn't watch his back and didn't stay in the background like he has his entire career. He says he could have picked a stipulation for his match with EC3, but he didn't. He tells him to stay in the background, like he has his entire career, and that he owns him. Tyrus grabs him by the throat, tells Eli he doesn't own him, and challenges him to a match next week.

In Tijuana, Mexico at the Auditorio Municipal, Konnan sets up an impromptu meeting with The Broken Hardys, who are only here for tag team gold and aren't interested in getting paid. He gets a match for them against Super Crazy and Psychosis booked right away, and tells his assistant to quickly make some Hardy memorabilia.

Maria Kanellis-Bennett, Sienna and Laurel Van Ness drink champagne, and Laurel gets some lingerie as a gift. Maria bosses Allie around again, ordering her to get some white bridesmaids' dresses. She also tells Allie that she won't be a bridesmaid, and that she will be the ring bearer instead. Allie is not happy.

In Tijuana, The Broken Hardys ("Broken" Jeff Hardy and Broken Nero) head to their match against Psychosis and Super Crazy, and ask Vanguard-1 to come up with a successful exit plan. Vanguard-1 is eventually surrounded by some of the female talent from the promotion The Broken Hardys are wrestling in. They win the tag team titles from Psychosis and Super razy, and when Konnan finds out that they have won the tag team titles for his promotion, he goes after them, but Vanguard-1 helps The Broken Hardys escape. Next week: The Broken Hardys try to win the Mid-Atlantic tag team titles!

Brooke says she will beat Sienna tonight and shut Maria Kanellis-Bennett up once and for all.

Brooke beats Sienna with a roll-up.

Braxton Sutter tries to leave the bachelor party again. "The Miracle" Mike Bennett brings out Roxy after George brings up watching a lewd DVD, but after he sees her, he immediately regrets it and switches to the lewd DVD.

Eli Drake tells Tyrus he will put his hands on him next week and lay him out.

Lashley shows up. Lashley brags about his World title victory from last week, then says there is not a fighter alive who can hang with him. Suddenly, former UFC Heavyweight Champion John Barnett is here. After a friendly salutation, he tells Lashley he is not living up to the fans' expectation and wants him in the ring to bring him to the level he knows he is capable of. Lashley welcomes Barnett to the Impact Zone, but tells him not to enter his world as there are no rules, unlike MMA. Barnett immediately responds with an arm bar, which immediately gets Lashley ticked off. Barnett says he is not afraid to fight any man, and challenges Lashley to a wrestling match. Lashley accepts his challenges and tells him he will whip him like he does everyone else.

As everyone is passed out during the bachelor party, Braxton Sutter makes his escape plans. But first, he dials Maria Kanellis-Bennett's number on "The Miracle" Mike Bennett's phone.

Next week: the wedding of Braxton Sutter and Laurel Van Ness!

The antyhing goes street fight between Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards ends with Eddie's wife Alicia being cuffed to the ring ropes by Angelina Love before Davey rams a chair repeatedly into Eddie. The match - and the show - ends with Angelina Love kicking referee Earl Hebner in the groin.

He says there is nothing that can stop him from taking the World title, and calls out Eddie Edwards, who shows up. Eddie tells Lashley he doesn't have to answer to him and that he owes him nothing, but he knows what Lashley is doing and why he is doing it, as Lashley knows he wants to be a fighting champion, and wants to know his master plan to take the World title. Lashley says Eddie is no fighting champion as he relies on fluke wins and his friends, and calls him a "feel-good champion." He then demands a World title shot in a 30-minute Iron Man Match. Eddie gives him the match so he can prove that Lashley is his bitch. Lashley jumps him for this statement, and Davey Richards has to rush in with a chair to get Lashley to back off.

Jarrett appears first with his wife, Karen, followed by Dixie. Both sides are allowed a few words, starting with Dixie. She finds it sad that the situation has come down to this, and insists that she never removed Jeff Jarrett from power and that Jeff left, and that she was hopeful they would together rewrite the ending for this company, but it is now all in the past. She's at the table for TNA, the fans and the roster that she's willing to invest in, and signs her contract. Karen tells Dixie she's delusional, and Dixie retorts by saying "And I'm not speaking with you." Jeff says that tonight is a moment in history, and that tonight the professional wrestling business forging forward. He brings up Eric Young allowing Chris Mordetzky to beat Drew Galloway last week, saying that EY is investing in him and Karen while he was still under TNA contract. Jeff says that the first dollar invested in TNA was his, and he has the right to be at the table. But he insists that Dixie Carter made a fatal mistake in removing him from power, and setting the wheels in motion for the hostile corporate takeover, which he plans to complete tonight with the Lethal Lockdown victory so he can assume the mantle of two professional wrestling companies. He plans to send Dixie Carter back to the outside of the wrestling business looking in, then signs his contract.

The fans chant "Hardy," and Hardy is told to ask the fans to stop chanting for him, and he does with little effort after initial reluctance, after EC3 tells him he needs the personal assistant job to support his family. Suddenly, Rockstar Spud appears and talks about how the current situation looks familiar, and says he'd wear the suit Hardy is wearing if it didn't have EC3's face on it. He says he came to EC3 for a job in TNA and did everything he had to do, but reminds him that his new personal assistant is, of course, Jeff Hardy, and says that he's garbage compared to Hardy. As the fans chant "You are garbage," he asks Spud if garbage is an undefeated TNA champion who has beaten everyone in his path and is something the company is built on, then hits Spud in the head with the mic.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for September 9, 2015

He then says to the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils for EC3 is a new personal assistant in Jeff Hardy.

Roode is about to fight Jarrett, but Karen stops it, telling Jeff that he's jeapordizing everything if he fights Roode, and telling Roode that he should be more concerned about securing his spot now that he's a week away from answering to Jeff. Karen goes on to say that Roode and Dixie Carter are both outnumbered, as is TNA, and says that Roode should consider teaming up with Jarrett like he has time and again.

Final Impact - Impact Wresting recap for August 26, 2015

The show begins with The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) showing up. Jeff apologizes for breaking his leg and promises he'll make it up to the fans. He then says that in the beginning, only he, Jeff and the fans believed they would make it...and here they are. Jeff then says that Matt needs one more shot, and if he can get it, he can become TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Matt says it's been one year since TNA welcomed him back, and everyone from the company to the fans to his family have been incredible to him. He says that his last match with Ethan Cater III was incredible and could have went either way, and says he feels he is the man who can carry TNA into the future, and tells EC3 that he's taking the World title. Just like Jeff, he feels he can become World champion with one more shot. Ethan Carter III and Tyrus show up. EC3 says that in 1999, he was at a live event for a match that involved ladders...and the Hardys. Now that he's dealing with them, he says he couldn't be any more disappointed, and says that he was victorious in his last meeting with Matt...and that he's not getting his one more chance. EC3 and Tyrus turn around to leave, but Jeff Hardy wants to know from EC3 why he's a "grade A jackass." EC3 says he is a franchise, and says the World title is "top guy stuff." He calls Jeff "a daredevil who can't stick a landing" and tells him to tread lightly. Jeff knows he's not medically cleared, but he's ready to throw down with a steel chair. EC3 whispers into Tyrus' ear, then says he's a granter of opportunities. He says that if the crowd can chant "Matt 4 Champ," he'll grant the rematch. He grants it, but there's a caveat: if Matt wins, he becomes World champion. If EC3 wins, Jeff has to be his personal assistant and has to do all his menial work.

Eric Young tells Chris Melendez he can't be held responsible for what happens to him, and says he's crazy to accept another match from him. He's taken everything he can from him, and now he plans to take the one thing he has left: his prosthetic leg.

Jeff and Karen Jerrett says they're happy to be here and that tonight will be a huge night on Impact Wrestling.

Eric Young beats Chris Melendez after putting legs hand on the ropes during the pinfall. EY takes Melendez' leg, calls himself a "big game hunter," then says that "it's going on the mantle."

Brooke beats Velvet Sky by disqualification when Jade and Marti Bell attack Brooke outside of the ring. Jade and Marti Bell continue their attack on Velvet Sky, but Rebel shows up to make the save...or so we think. Rebel kicks Velvet Sky in the back of the head, and the three of them attack Velvet Sky.

Dixie Carter shows up. She says that when someone sincerely offers their help, you listen and be a team player, and do not let stubbornness get in the way. She says that she was one of the few people who knew that the opportunity for Jeff Jarrett to help was there, and says she couldn't be any happier. She asks him to come to the ring, and he does. Jarrett says that the new chapter in their relationship was so out of the blue that it was the very last thing he was expecting, but he's glad it happened. He says that he's glad that Dixie accepted his help after what has happened since that phone call, as it is win-win for TNA, Global Force Wrestling and the wrestling fan. He says they've kept it going, but they've got to keep it growing. Dixie says that together, he and Jarrett are unstoppable, and that the show needs a leader. Before Dixie can make a decision on whether to make Jarrett that leader, Drew Galloway crashes the proceedings. He says that the TNA-GFW partnership has gotten everyone in the back fired, and respects Jeff Jarrett for what he's doing, but says that he found out something twenty minutes ago: security footage showing the license plates of the two getaway cars from the attacks, both sharing one name: Jeff Jarrett. Galloway knows that with him and Bully Ray out of the picture, Jarrett has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Jarrett vehemently defends himself, but Galloway threatens to drop him where he stands if he's lying about who it was. Suddenly, the perpetrator reveals themselves: Karen Jarrett, who says she did it for her family and for Global Force Wrestling, saying that Jeff deserves this. She says that Jeff started TNA, and that one little spark can cause a giant inferno. All of a sudden, Jeff Jarrett kicks Drew Galloway in the balls, and as his Global Force Wrestling storm the ring and attack Galloway, Jarrett tells Dixie that sometimes, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Rockstar Spud and the TNA locker room rush in to counter them, but it turns into an all-out brawl where the GFW roster comes out on top. The show ends with the GFW roster and the Jarretts celebrating the start of a hostile takeover of TNA.

Austin Aries shows up to start the show. He says there is nobody better than him in the business right now, and he's not happy with Bully Ray because he's not in contendership for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Bully Ray shows up, and says he can't give him a shot to either the World or tag titles because he's lost to Kurt Angle and The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) respectively. He also tells Aries that he runs his mouth a little too fast, and it just might get him into trouble. Bully says he can give him an X Division title shot, but Aries says the title is for those who will never make it to the main event...like Rockstar Spud. Spud, having heard this, shows up and he's not very happy to have heard this from Aries' mouth. He has respect for him, but Aries decides to be a realist about it...to the point that he's a jerk.

After the match, EC3 shows respect to Spud and shakes hands with him, saying that Spud doesn't deserve to have his hair shaved tonight and that he proved that he was a man, but it was all a set-up for EC3 to attack him and shave his head in the corner.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for January 16, 2015

MVP shows up with Samoa Joe, Low Ki and Kenny King. MVP has us all fooled again, and he's back in the driver's seat. He's looked within "the family" for like-minded individuals, and has recuited Joe and Low Ki as a result, and has now created what he calls the Beat Down Clan. Eric Young, while not a member, has helped MVP out last week and MVP brings him out anyway. Eric Young says he attacked Bobby Roode because Roode never reciprocated the same kind of friendship Young gave him. He took the gold from Roode, and tonight, he plans to take everything else. MVP then brings out Lashley, but Lashley doesn't show up. When MVP re-introduces Lashley, Kurt Angle's music plays instead and Kurt Angle shows up. While Angle can't book matches anymore, he can make the whole Beat Down Clan tap. Samoa Joe gets out of the ring and gets in Angle's face only to be smacked in the face. When the rest of the Clan approaches Angle, security keeps them away from Angle. Angle then decides to fight Samoa Joe, right here, right now.

Samoa Joe beats Kurt Angle with the Rear Naked Choke after sending Angle into the ref and kicking him in the nuts. After the match, the Beat Down Clan (MVP, Kenny King, Joe, Low Ki) and Eric Young all beat up Angle, but they are forced to retreat when Bobby Roode rushes in with the steel chair.

Bobby Roode is in the ring. He's trying to hold back his anger, but stuff has gone too far, especially with Eric Young. He plans to make Eric Young pay for what he's done...tonight.

The Revolution - featuring "The Cowboy" James Storm, Abyss, The Great Sanada, Manik and now Mahabali Shera - watch the next match from the nosebleed seats.

The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) beat The Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) to become #1 contenders for the TNA World Tag Team Championships.

Next week on Impact Wrestling: Feast or Fired!

As MVP and Kenny King chat backstage, it becomes readily apparent that Eric Young is preoccupied with Bobby Roode.

Ethan Carter III and Tyrus take control of the camera station, and use it to harass Jeremy Borash, challenging him to a match against EC3 next week and giving him 30 minutes to make a decision on whether to accept it before they can do worse than shave his head.

Lashley has arrived...

Eric Young beats Bobby Roode in a no-disqualification match. The Beat Down Clan (MVP, Kenny King, Samoa Joe, Low Ki) show up, and MVP mocks Bobby Roode before announcing that Lashley will be here later tonight.

Austin Aries defends the X Division title in a rematch against former champion Low Ki...and knows he's in for a war now that Low Ki is part of the Beat Down Clan (MVP, Kenny King, Samoa Joe, Ki).

Brooke calls Robbie E a "classless Jersey douchebag" before her match tonight.

The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky) beat Brooke and Taryn Terrell after Robbie E distracts Brooke and Velvet Sky grabs Brooke's tights during the schoolgirl pin. After the match, the lights go out, and Awesome King is in the ring when they come back on. Angelina Love eats an Implant Buster, and DJ Z is choke slammed when he unwisely thinks he can take her on. After this, Havok shows up, and both Havok and Kong have a staredown. Security rushes in to quickly separate both of these titans.

Ethan Carter III finds Jeremy Borash backstage, and gets to JB enough to get his goat and make JB fight him next week.

"The Cowboy" James Storm introduces us to his new disciple: Mahabali Shera, now known as "Khoya," the Hindi word for "lost." Storm says he was lost when he found him...but he is now found. Next week, we see Khoya in action.

Low Ki beats Austin Aries to win the TNA X Division Championship, thanks to the distraction and behind-the-back interference from the rest of the Beat Down Clan (Samoa Joe, MVP, Kenny King).

The Beat Down Clan (MVP, Kenny King, Samoa Joe, Low Ki) and Eric Young are in the ring. MVP introduces Lashley into the ring, and this time he shows up. MVP says he made Lashley and that the TNA World Heavyweight Championship belongs to the Beat Down Clan, but Lashley begs to differ. It becomes obvious that both MVP and Lashley are going their separate ways, so MVP decides to be merciful...but it's all a trap and the Beat Down Clan and Eric Young all beat him up in response. MVP steals the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Lashley, declaring that it belongs to the Beat Down Clan, ending the show.
