TJP and Fallah Bahh beat The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander).

Backstage, Gabi Loren interviews Tessa Blanchard to start tonight's show. Tessa says that Taya Valkyrie might have a lot of history, and while she beat her for the Knockouts Championship, that was over a year ago and Taya is now stepping into the ring with a different Tessa Blanchard who is now World Champion. She says that tonight feels special and that history will be made, and when people look back on tonight, they will see it as the night when two women stood across from each other for the first time for the World Championship. Suddenly, Eddie Edwards shows up and says he has respect for her, and it is because of that respect for her that he is letting her know that he will be waiting if she retains tonight, for when he beats Michael Elgin and retains the Shoot Your Shot Trophy, he will be calling his shot for the World title at Rebellion. Tessa tells Eddie that she hopes to see him there, then they tap the Women's title and the Shoot Your Shot Trophy together.

Moose beats Petey Williams.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the week is Amazing Red vs. Kid Kash for the NWA X Division Championship on April 3, 2003.

Backstage, Madison Rayne has some women exercising as part of her own boot camp. She eliminates Mazzerati as well as a woman with green hair, then Kiera Hogan shows up wanting to know what is going on. Madison says she is giving back and that she is a philantrophist trying to create the next generation of Knockouts, which she tried to do with Hogan before Hogan "didn't follow the plan." As Hogan takes exception to this, one of the women (who is independent wrestler Lacey Ryan) gets in Hogan's face. She ends up "winning" boot camp while everyone else leaves, including Hogan.

Acey Romero beats Joey Ryan when Ryan decides against flipping Acey after making Acey "touch it."

Su Yung - now no longer "Susie" - beats Havok in a no-disqualification match. After the match, Su Yung's undead bridesmaids return with a coffin, and as Rosemary tries to put Havok in a coffin and send her to the undead realm, Havok fights back and escapes to the back.

After the match, the mysterious "ICU" strikes again, and a short, mysterious video is played.

We see a vignette of Tenille Dashwood in Las Vegas, Nevada.

We see another edition of Gut Check. Scott D'Amore is not impressed with any of the prospects, including Tony Gunn, who comes off to him and the trainers as disrespectful. John E. Bravo chews out Tony Gunn for the disrespect as well as spitting on his opponent and the ring, as well as for taking a picture of himself in front of the ring in the Can-Am Dojo. Scott D'Amore decides not to sign anybody from last week.

Backstage, Gabi Loren interviews Taya Valkyrie, who tells Tessa Blanchard that she has somehow convinced the wrestling world that she is the best in the world, and while she is World Champion, she sees right through her. She calls Tessa "selfish" and a "master manipulator" who has gotten the fans drunk on her Kool-Aid and says that she is the only sober person here. Taya then says Tessa's fairy tale is over, and the bad guy wins, with the bad guy being her.

Tessa Blanchard retains the Impact World Championship against Taya Valkyrie after John E. Bravo's distraction backfires.
