Josh Mathews and Gia Miller are in the ring to start tonight's show. As they talk about how Christian Cage has won the Impact World Championship, W. Morrissey and Eddie Edwards brawl their way into the ring. As W. Morrissey goes for a powerbomb on Eddie Edwards in the ring, Sami Callihan jumps in, and Eddie saves him from Morrissey. Both Sami and Eddie almost come to blows, but Eddie knocks Morrissey out of the ring just in time for security to show up and hold Morrissey back. Eddie tells Sami he didn't need his help, then Sami grabs the microphone and says he wants his match started right now.

Sami Callihan and Chris Sabin beat "Inevitable" Ace Austin and Moose after Sabin tags himself in to hit Austin with Cradle Shock. After the match, Sami raises Sabin's hand, then spikes him with a piledriver for stealing his moment.

We see footage from last Saturday's NJPW Resurgence, where The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) retain the Impact World Tag Team Championships against Jon Moxley and Yuji Nagata only to walk away when The Guerrillas of Destiny (Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa) show up. We then hear from The Good Brothers, who brag about their victory at Resurgence before the two of them tell The Guerrillas of Destiny that getting in their faces is not worth it before Gallows calls tonight's match with Joe Doering "an appetizer." Gallows then blames Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhyno) for making tomorrow night's tag team title match at Emergence a three-way match.

Backstage, we hear from Sami Callihan, who says Chris Sabin poked him one too many times and made himself fair game just like in tomorrow night's World Championship #1 contender's match. He then says he made good on his promise of taking a piece of Kenny Omega until the Impact World Championship was off Omega's waist, then Eddie Edwards says that he does not need his help just because they teamed together one time. Sami says that he is not a team player and that he has things to attend to.

Matt Cardona beats Shera after Chelsea Green stops Rohit Raju's distraction attempt.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the week is Christian Cage beating Jeff Jarrett for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on Feb 13, 2006.

It's time for Locker Room Talk. Tonight's guest is Tennille Dashwood after Johnny Swinger mentions Swinger's Palace. We find out that Tennille Dashwood is on the set of All About Me, and that Madison Rayne is the guest for tonight's show. Tennille says that she allied herself with Madison because she and Kaleb have been looking for a partner, and while it happened a year ago and it did not work out, Tennille thinks it can work out now. It is mentioned that Madison Rayne was Tenille's first tag team partner, and Tennille notes that this situation has gone full circle before saying that her range and Madison's experience make them "the influence." Kaleb and Swinger then have an argument after Kaleb states they don't have to take crap from Scott D'amore anymore.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. Alexander says he intends to be the face of the company going forward, and while Christian Cage may be the new Impact World Champion and became a legend here, he will not be carrying the Impact banner as Jake Something shows up. Alexander says he is not concerned about how big and strong he is, and Jake Something says he will give a reason to be concerned and pay attention by approaching Kaleb and Scott D'Amore as they argue, wanting a match. Kaleb, saying he is medically cleared even though he isn't, is wanting a match, and D'Amore puts Kaleb in a match with Jake Something and makes it a no-disqualification match, much to the horror of Kaleb.

Christian Cage heads to the ring. He says it is good to be back in the Impact Zone after nine long years as Impact World Champion, and even though he wrestles for AEW, it was an honor to take the championship from Kenny Omega and bring them back where it belongs. He talks about how he left WWE in 2005 and took a chance on himself, which lead to Impact taking a chance on him and allowing him to up his stock and compete in the main event for championships, which is all he ever wanted. Christian says this is surreal for him, and he thanks the fans, who chant "You deserve it!" He says that talking about history in Impact has made him realize that this is not about his history anymore and that he had some talks with Scott D'Amore, and as much as the TNA World title means to him, he says it is time to retire it. He says that it is about the future, and that the Impact World Championship represents that future, which means a lot for the locker room. He then says the Impact World Championship will be the biggest prize in the company. Christian then says that the TNA World Heavyweight Championship's lineage will be emblazoned in his and Impact's souls forever, then hands the title off and relinquishes it once and for all. As Christian gets down to business, Brian Myers and Sam Beale show up. Beale carries a notebook with "Christian Not My Champ" written on it as Myers states he is the #1 contender and that he has killed it on Impact for the past year. Myers proclaims that the Impact World Championship belongs to him tomorrow night, and Christian tells Myers it took him long enough to get out of Matt Cardona's shadow before mocking him and Beale. Myers proclaims that the Impact World Championship belongs to him tomorrow night, and Christian tells Myers it took him long enough to get out of Matt Cardona's shadow before mocking him and Beale. He goes on to say that while Myers is the most professional wrestler, he is the best professional wrestler. This leads to a staredown between Myers and Christian. Myers fails to cheap shot Christian with Sam Beale, who gets rocked with a right by Christian.

Security, medics and referees have to help both men out of the crater made in the stage. Gallows is helped out first, and he crawls to the ring. When Doering gets out, it is under his own power, and he also goes back to the ring. Doering gets the win after clotheslining Gallows out of the air.

Callis also congratulates The Good Brothers on their victory tonight, and says that after delivering some of the best buyrates, Omega should be given some respect, but instead, he has to defend the Impact World title at Emergence. He mentions the #1 contender's battle royal for the Impact World title, then says that Tommy Dreamer will not work Omega to the bone. Suddenly, Sami Callihan shows up. Callihan says he will jump off a cliff if he has to listen to Callis and Omega again, then says they are "a bunch of bitches" and says Omega should be lucky he did not beat him to death at Slammiversary. He says that Slammiversary was just the beginning and that he is not done, and that he will win the battle royal to give Omega another date with the Death Machine.

After Moose reminds him that he is talking about American Top Team, he says he had Lashley beat in a one-on-one match until they jumped in, and that he had Lashley beat in a tag team match only for them to jump in again. When he had Lashley beat at Bound For Glory, they jumped in a third time.

Every time Dan Lambert speaks, Storm calls it "poo-poo," and the crowd chants it. Storm then tells Dan Lambert he wants him one-on-one. Lambert says he cannot figure out why professional wrestling chose to pick a fight with MMA, and he will never figure out why American Top Team was singled out.

He then says he had to stand on the ramp a few weeks ago and hear him go on and on about his love for pro wrestling and the fans as well as how he puts his body on thel ine and how he lives for the fans. He says it make sit want to puke, but he now sees this as an opportunity.

If he can cut the head, then Impact Wrestling can "no longer sell its snake oil." He says that if he wants to face him, he must put his career on the line, and if he loses, he has to leave Impact forever. Storm tells Dan Lambert he has a deal, but after he kicks his ass, he, Lashley and the rest of American Top Team can get out of his company.

Before he can finish that statement, however, Lambert spits in his face, and Lashley hits Moose with a cheap shot. As Lambert directs traffic, Storm threatens to hit him with the Last Call Superkick.

Konnan wants a tag team title match. Callihan accepts, but on the condition that if the Latin-American Xchange loses, they have to leave Impact. Konnan tells him that if he reneges on this deal, he will screw up his entire life and those of everyone he knows and he will be so toxic that they would work with very trashy celebrities before they ever work with him again.

Before the next match, Eli Drake asks that everyone hold up contractually that they will wear the turkey suit if they lose. Everyone solemnly swears to put on the turkey suit if they are pinned.

Eddie Edwards, "The Standby Wrestler" Richard Justice, Fallah Bahh, Garza Jr. and Allie beat Chris Adonis, Caleb Konley, El Hijo del Fantasma, Laurel Van Ness and KM in a Turkey Bowl Match after Eddie Edwards rolls up Chris Adonis. After the match, Eli Dake says there will be a random draw to see who will wear the turkey suit, as Adonis will not wear the suit. Jeremy Borash reminds him that an oath was taken and that Adonis must wear the turkey suit. Adonis refuses and leaves the ring, but security guards show up and force him to go back. Adonis appeases them and tries to run to the back, but more show up and top him, and Adonis is reminded that he is contractually obligated to wear the turkey suit. If he does not wear the suit, the turkey suit will go on Eli Drake. Eli Drake tries to get him out of it, but Adonis is forced back into the ring. Adonis reluctantly wears the suit, then when Adonis leaves the ring, Eddie Wdwards throws food at him. This starts a food fight between the two teams. Eli Drake holds down Eddie Edwards in the ring, but when Chris Adonis tries to tries to hit Eddie with a cherry pie, Eddie ducks and hits Eli Drake in the face instead.

LAX may claim to be family, but they are brothers and a tag team this birth. They have heard talk that LAX is the best tag team on the scene...but that was before they showed up. They are the best in the world, and they plan to prove it by taking the tag titles. Konnan says he LAX are the ones who dictate the terms, and tells them to head to The Crash to show what they're made of. oVe is up for the challenge.

Taryn Terrell and Sienna beat Gail Kim and Allie after Sienna uses Allie's momentum against her to get on top of Allie for a pinfall after a top rope cross body.

Jim Cornette shows up. He thanks everyone at home for tuning in, as is a great time for GFW with the international competition and new talent. After plugging the GFW Global Championship main event, he says that he sees Eli Drake cracking and Matt Sydal coming on strong. After he predicts that Matt Sydal will become the new GFW Global Champion, Johnny Impact shows up. He says Cornette is talking about who the man is. He says he is the man. He then challeneges the winner of Drake vs. Sydal. Johnny says he respects Sydal and would love to face him. He doesn't respect Drake, but also wants to face him, too. Whomever he faces, worlds will collide. Suddenly, The Latin American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz, Low Ki, Diamante) shows up. Konnan says Johnny's opinion on the title scene is as worthless as his AAA Megas Championship. He says Cornette overlooked LAX. Cornette tells LAX they are not being discriminated against, nor are they getting any favors. Low Ki and Johnny scream at each other. Low Ki tells Johnny this is GFW, not WWE or Lucha Underground. Johnny responds by fighting LAX himself. Amazingly, Johnny manages to hold his own, and security has to rush in and separate all of LAX from one man. Not surprisingly, some of the security guards get knocked out, and LAX has to hold back one of their own in Low Ki. Security guards try to hold Johnny Impact back, but he tries to get his hands on Low Ki one more time before LAX get out of there. Cornette tells LAX to get out or else they will all be suspended.

We hear from Matt Sydal before his match against Eli Drake for the GFW Global Championship.

Eli Drake retains the GFW Global Championship against Matt Sydal. During the match, Chris Adonis places the GFW Global Championship on the apron, then places a steel chair inside the ring. This distracts the referee, allowing Drake to attempt to hit Sydal in the face with the Global title only to fall victim to a knee. After a near-fall, Sydal goes up top again, but when Chris Adonis gets on the apron, Sydal hits him instead of going for the top rope Shooting Star Press on Eli Drake as originally planned. This last-second deviation causes the ref to be pre-occupied on checking on Chris Adonis, and Eli Drake tries to use the Global title as a weapon behind the referee's back again, this time successfully.

Here's this week's edition of After Impact!

He introduces us to his little brother, El Hijo del Dos Caras - who he says we will see more of soon, and his father, Dos Caras. Last week, he had the most difficult fight of his life, and if it weren't for the fans, he would have given up that night. He calls Lashley "a tough son-of-a-bitch," and says he will respect him every single day of his life because of it. But tonight, he stands in front of everyone as the undisputed champion. El Patron says he is a fighting champion, and every opponent he faces will have an opportunity at the World title. If someone wants a piece, he is here. He says "come and get it." Suddenly, Lashley shows up, and calls El Patron "a huge egomaniac" before talking about how he dominated week after week as the champ, and said he never had any parties or confetti. Lashley tells El Patron that he is celebrating because of a fluke win, and he would be embarrassed after something like this. He then questions if Dos Caras and El Hijo del Dos Caras should be here, and says they should be "kept where they belong" with a wall built around them. Dos Caras slaps Lashley, and referees and officials have to keep both men apart as Lashley threatens to beat him up. At this point, Lashley wants to throw down.

Prichard then states that TNA is dead, and that Impact called him to come back to make it great again, as he has been in the business for quite some time. He then introduces the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Lashley, whom he calls "walking armageddon." Lashley says he has done what he said he would do, and has walked through numerous opponents and represented the current president of the United States, too. Prichard tells Lashley that everyone will eventually have to decree him as the absolute best, as there will soon be nobody in the back to challenge him. Suddenly, music hits and out comes Alberto El Patron. Alberto tells Lashley to shut up, and that Lashley has yet to beat him. Suddenly, Ethan Carter III shows up and tells Alberto he has to earn his title shot, and challenges Lashley for the World title. Lashley tells EC3 he's beaten him week after week and that he's done and doesn't deserve a shot. Lashley dares Alberto to step up, and Alberto wants to fight Lashley right now. Bruce Prichard then makes it official: this match is happening tonight.

He says he earned the nickname "Dirty" the hard way by going all over the world and facing everyone he could. He says that he was called up much like Bruce Prichard to help make Impact great. He was here eight years ago, when AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Kurt Angle, Sting and a litany of popular names were here. As time passed, all of them - and Dutch - left due to a lack of leadership, vision and respect. He says the fans, however, have never left. Dutch then says he's back and he's here to listen to the fans, as the fans are the ones that make Impact great.

Jeff Hardy faces the kangaroo which houses the spirit of "Smokin'" Joe Frazier. He and "Broken" Matt Hardy then head to their next destination in their expedition of gold.

Alberto El Patron beats Lashley to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship - refereed to on-air as the Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship - after using the title as a weapon. During the match, Ethan Carter III shows up to watch the match from the stage. After the match, Lashley almost beats up one of the two referees, and Alberto El Patron declares himself the new World Heavyweight Championship.

After Impact went off the air, Lashley is in disbelief, and Bruce Prichard tells Alberto El Patron that he did not win the title against Lashley cleanly and that he can win the World Championship that way. Alberto El Patron doesn't care, saying he's the champion regardless.
