IMPACT 1000 - IMPACT Wrestling recap for September 14, 2023

Jody Threat beats KiLynn King in the BTI Match after KiLynn gets her foot on the rope and Jody pulls it off.

Scott D'Amore introduces everyone to the 1000th episode of IMPACT Wrestling, and talks about how he, Eric Young and Team Canada kicked the first episode off, and now, he could not be prouder to be IMPACT Wrestling President. He calls the next two weeks a combination of the company's past, present and future, then says nobody can talk about IMPACT without talking about the Knockouts Division and its most distinguished alumni, IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Famer Gail Kim, whom he introduces to the ring. Gail Kim thanks everyone in IMPACT from the fans to those in the company for making the Knockouts Division the best women's division in history, as they always been about raising the bar and showing, not talking about, what they are made of. We then see a video package chronicling the history of the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Division, and as Scott D'Amore says the video package got him right in the heart, The Beautiful People - Angelina Love and Velvet Sky - arrive. Angelina compliments Gail Kim on the video package, then asks if that is really the best of the Knockouts Division that she can show as the two of them were absolutely perfect while everyone else in the video package was ugly just like Gail Kim. Velvet Sky says there were some good clips of them, while the other looked like security cam footage from Walmart or "the before-and-after photos from a dermatologist's office with just the befores." Gail Kim welcomes them back and compliments them on doing what they do best - being rude and obnoxious - before The Beautiful People call her a "before" and wish she did not talk. As Gail says she can do more than talk, the SHAWtourage ("The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw, Savannah Evans, Jai Vidal) arrives. Gisele Shaw apologizes to The Beautiful People for Gail Kim being rude to them and apologizes on behalf of the Knockouts Division before welcoming them back, saying there would be no "Quintessential Diva" without them. She says that The Beautiful People paved the way for Knockouts like her to take what they did and improve on it, but Velvet Sky asks what is so great from Gisele's generation when Jordynne Grace shows up. Jordynne says that there are two constants in every generation, and that while there are people like ODB, Tara, Traci Brooks and Gail Kim, there are also some people who are "vapid bitches." "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo shows up and says she is here to represent her generation, as IMPACT has been in her age since she stepped in and beat Jordynne for the Knockouts Championship. Trinity then shows up, and says that she respects everyone in the ring for paving the way for her in their own ways, then says she is the one currently blazing a trail for she is in her moment and the proof is around her waist. Deonna tells Trinity to come see her when she's a three-time champion, and Gail tells Deonna to come see her when she is a seven-time champion. Suddenly, Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed. After the commercial break, Saeed wants to know who will be the first to be crushed by Awesome Kong tonight. Tasha Steelz suddenly shows up for the first time in some time and says nobody cannot have 1,000 episodes or talk about the history of the Knockouts Division without talking about her. She says the "generation talk" means nothing without "Generation Flava" and that she will be the fifth member of Team Beautiful People along The Beautiful People, Gisele and Deonna. Tasha then says that everyone wants to be the best, but they cannot be the greatest to beat the greatest and that she will be the greatest to beat the biggest when she beats the biggest. Suddenly, Mickie James shows up for the first time in six months. Mickie says she does not have to remind everyone of who she is or what she is done or convince anyone she is the greatest because she is the greatest, and all she can really say is that she is back as the fifth member of Gail Kim's team alongside Gail Kim, Awesome King, Jordynne Grace, and Trinity, which she calls "Team Over." Mickie says tonight may be a celebration of 1,000 episodes of IMPACT Wrestling and a celebration of the history of the Knockouts Division, next week will be a fight, and it will be the greatest fight in Knockouts history.

Backstage, Eric Young celebrates 1,000 episodes with America's Most Wanted ("The Cowboy" James Storm and "Wildcat" Chris Harris). After Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up, Shark Boy accidentally drops a beer bottle and apologizes, and Santino gives Shark Boy the chance to be Deputy Director, which he accepts.

Chris Bey gets Briefcase #3, Crazzy Steve gets Briefcase #1, Yuya Uemura gets Briefcase #4 and Moose gets Briefcase #2 in the first Feast or Fired Match in five years. Near the end of the match, Rhino shows up for the first time in months and Spears Briefcase #2 out of Steve Maclin's hands, causing it to land in Moose's hands on the outside.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Chris Sabin. Sabin admits he admires Lio Rush for taking advantage of every opportunity he has gotten in IMPACT and making the most of them, yet he does not respect how he has been an overall bad guy to do it. He says that this will end tonight when he beats him, makes history and forges a legacy.

The Desi Hit Squad - Rohit Raju and Champagne Singh - are in the ring. Rohit asks the fans are going to have a celebration without them, and asks them to name a tag team who has done more for IMPACT than them. Bully Ray shows up to the Team 3D theme and brings Brother Devon with him, and this starts a match.

Team 3D (Bully Ray and Brother Devon) beat The Desi Hit Squad (Rohit Raju and Champagne Singh) in their first match in seven years. After the match, Rohit Raju gets a Bully Bomb through a table.

Backstage, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander runs into a very rude Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) who are eating pizza and making a mess in the hallway. Alexander throws Trey's bag across the hall when Trey says Alexander is ten pounds lighter without championship gold, and takes it as a challenge, aggressively telling Trey he should not be a problem for him now that he is ten pounds lighter.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring. After Alexander mentions what he has done in IMPACT Wrestling, he says that sometimes he has to pinch himself, because after over 21 years, he has always been an IMPACT fan. He says his 15-year-old self who discovered IMPACT would never have believed that he is celebrating 1,000 episodes or standing in an IMPACT ring as the man who never lost his IMPACT World Championship. As Alexander says that he has to make that right, Alex Shelley shows up in a suit and tie and heads to the ring. Shelley tells Alexander that the title is not his anymore and that if anybody is going to celebrate 1,000 episodes around here, it will be him. He also says "You're welcome" to Alexander for the hard work he himself has put in so that Alexander can make a living in IMPACT.Alexander thanks Shelley for everything that he has done and states that nobody was happier than him when he won the World title while watching from home, but Shelley asks Alexander if he is a bigger fan for him or a bigger mark. Alexander says he has always been a fan, but says the more Shelley talks, the more that the saying that one should not meet their heroes comes true, and says Shelley should thank him for taking the fall so that he could be World Champion. Alexander admits that Shelley has been in IMPACT longer than him and has more experience than him, but reminds Shelley that he could not beat him for the World Championship. Shelley says he is a different man now and so is Alexander, then says he is the main character now and that Alexander is a side-quest. He says that he wants that rematch, as it will prove to both of them that he is the better man. Alexander says he wants this match and that they can do this anywhere, then both men are attacked by The Racalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz). Alexander and Shelley fend them off at first, but Shelley walks away when Alexander is attacked again.

Backstage, Deputy Director of Authority Shark Boy confronts The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) as they laugh about what they have just done and puts Trey Miguel in a one-on-one match with "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander next week. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and congratulates Shark Boy on a job well done when all of a sudden, Kenny King and Sheldon Jean show up angry, and Kenny King wants his Digital Media Championship match against Tommy Dreamer. Santino says that cannot be done, and puts Kenny King in a match with Eric Young next week.

Frankie Kazarian and Traci Brooks beat Eddie and Alisha Edwards in a mixed tag match after Traci Brooks hits Fade To Black on Alisha. The match is Traci's first in an IMPACT ring in twelve years. After the match, Kazarian says it has been a great night celebrating 1,000 episodes of IMPACT, but there is much more to celebrate. We then see a video package where Traci Brooks is announced as an inductee into the IMPACT Hall of Fame at Bound For Glory. Kazarian and Brooks celebrate in the ring with their son Rebel.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Lio Rush. Lio Rush says Chris Sabin is shook because of what he did to him at Slammiversary, then says he is not worried about Sabin. He says that if Sabin wants to make history, he will give him a shot at trying to do the impossible in beating him, then tells him to stay prayed up because he is coming in hot like he always does.

Backstage, we hear from Tommy Dreamer. He says he cannot explain the emotions from Victory Road, as it is all about creating for one's self and for others, and after all the doom and gloom he has been through, he cannot thank the fans enough. He says he will defend the Digital Media Championship against anyone and anywhere, as professional wrestling should be fun.

Chris Sabin beats Lio Rush to become a ten-time IMPACT Wrestling X Division Champion! Nineteen years after main eventing the first ever episode of IMPACT, Sabin also main events the 1,000th episode. After the match, members of the IMPACT Wrestling locker room celebrate with Sabin.

After the match, Katarina chews Grado for being an embarrassment who keeps losing week after week, and tells him she does not love him; instead, she is in love with Joe Hendry. After saying that Joe loves her and kisses him, Joe Hendry is surprised at Katarina's actions and calls Katarina the embarrassment in this situation. Katarina slaps Joe in the face and leaves.

Backstage, Joe Hendry and Grado are still amazed by Katarina's actions, and Joe says he should have seen this coming. Grado tells Joe that he knows he can trust him now after this.

Backstage, Bobo praises "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux when KM and Fallah Bahh show up. KM thanks her for the advice from a few weeks ago. Scarlett tells them that she loves a man with power who takes what he wants and has confidence, and says she would do anything for a man like that as it is "simply intoxicating." KM tells Fallah Bahh there might be something to that after Scarlett leaves with Bobo.

Eli Drake shows up. He says he has had fun coming to the ring the last couple of week, as they have been dummies who have been trying to impress him and have failed to do so. He then says he feels a bit adventurous tonight, and calls out anybody who wants to face a former world champion. He gets Stone Rockwell, and after some introductions, Eli Drake tells Rockwell not to fall victim to his own ambitions. When Eli asks Rockwell what his last adventure was, Rockwell talks about a train ride to Budapest, then Eli Drake brings out a referee to start a match. It doesn't take long for Eli Drake to beat Stone Rockwell with a single Gravy Train.

We hear from The Lucha Brothers (Fenix and Pentagon Jr.). Fenix says they have been fighting together since they were kids, and Pentagon Jr. sends a message to "The Machine" Brian Cage: if he wants ot know how to inflict pain, they has to team with them. He says that they can beat oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) on their own and that they are not obstacles for them.

Backstage, Austin Aries, Moose and Killer Kross are met by Alicia, who is told that she will find out why Moose did what he did last week at the same time as everyone else. All of a sudden, Alisha Edwards shows up and confronts Moose, and Austin Aries tells her to separate the business from the personal as he, Moose and Kross leave.

Tessa Blanchard retains the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship against Su Yung. After the match, the undead bridesmaids show up with a casket, lay it down and open it up. As they leave, Su Yung attacks attacks Blanchard from behind and hits her with the Panic Switch. She then places Su Yung in the coffin, but Allie and Kiera Hogan show up and double-team Su Yung, making the save for Tessa Blanchard, who is less than thankful for their help as she says that she does not need friends.

We hear from "The Machine" Brian Cage, who says he saved The Lucha Brothers (Fenix and Pentagon Jr.) because he could, and the lat time he checked, he is the X Division Champion and the measuring stick around here. He says that if oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) thinks they can do whatever they want, they have another thing coming as there is nobody bigger than him.

Konnan and King meet in a restaurant, where some older gentlemen are sitting at a table. The man in the center says that this get-together has been set-up because the violence that has been happening in public as of late has been unbearable and they cannot afford this kind of heat. He says that business has been good, and the violation of the G Code is brought up. Konnan chews out King for running Richie over, and King complains about being kept down and crucified for doing the same thing everyone else in the gang is doing, saying he did what he had to be done. The three men at the table converse among themselves, then decree that a cease-fire will continue until October 14th at Bound For Glory in New York City. There, they will battle over who is king of the street there, as The Latin-American Xchange (Santana, Ortiz, Konnan) and The OG'z (Hernandez, Homicide, King) will square off in a final war. Konnan tells King he should have finished him off along time ago, but he let his emotions trick his logic into think it was the right thing to do, and on October 14th, he will not miss. Konnan extends his hand, but King laughs and walks away.

Next week: Kongo Kong vs. "The Machine" Brian Cage! The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) in action! The Lucha Brothers (Fenix and Pentagon Jr.) vs. The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley)!

oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) beat Zachary Wentz, Ace Austin and Tre Miguel. After the match, Callihan hits Ace Austin with a piledriver, then says that oVe is the best trio walking the planet today without a shadow of a doubt. As for The Lucha Brothers (Fenix and Pentagon Jr.), their feud will never end and they will do this forever. He proposes making this interesting, and tells "The Machine" Brian Cage that if he wants to stick his nose in their business, then they will never, ever forget.

Austin Aries, Killer Kross and Moose show up. Aries says everyone wants to konw why Moose did what he did last week and standing with him and Killer Kross, and decides to let Moose explain everything. Moose says Eddie Edwards has everyone fooled, calling him a selfish, lying fraud and threatening to expose him. He says that when Eddie Edwards was going though with his issues with his wife Alisha, laid in the hospital with his face broken from Sami Callihan and had issues with Tommy Dreamer, he was there for him, but when he was laying in the hospital contemplating retirement, Eddie was nowhere to be found. He says the only person who checked on him was Killer Kross, who asked him how it felt to be abandoned. After that, he got a phone call from Austin Aries, not Eddie Edwards, who admitted that Moose is talented but would never be the #1 guy in the company or the industry if he catered to the fans. He thanks Aries for being the truth as well as the greatest man that ever lived. Aries thanks Moose for listening to reason, as Eddie Edwards only cared about getting shots at the World Championship instead of Moose, who now has the mastermind of professional wrestling as well as the baddest man walking the streets guiding him. Aries says everything has changed in Impact Wrestling, and nobody is safe and nobody is taking the Impact Wrestling World Championship away from him. Suddenly, Johnny Impact shows up, and Aries calls Johnny a nobody before Johnny says Killer Kross would be more ambitious than to play Austin Aries' bodyguard. Johnny also says he forgot to mention that at Bound For Glory, Austin will be defending the World title against him. Aries says they don't have to wait until Bound For Glory, and asks Moose and Killer Kross to clear the ring so they can go at it right now. Johnny tells Aries he's seen this before and knows that Killer Kross and Moose will jump him along with Aries. Johnny then advertises Boone: The Bounty Hunter, which is now available on DVD, much to the chagrin of Aries, who tells Johnny to get in the ring and stop advertising his movie on his time. Johnny then dares Aries to fight him on the ramp, but Aries refuses. Johnny then tells Aries that he can stay in the ring and prove that "the banana in his pocket is as small as everybody thinks it is." This is enough to get Austin Aries upset and charge at Johnny Impact, and both men brawl on the entrance ramp. Aries, Kross and Moose all get superkicked, and it soon becomes a three-on-one beatdown on Johnny Impact. Security shows up, but they are easily laid out by Moose before he, Kross and Aries place Johnny's head into a steel chair and smash another steel chair into the legs of the first one to target Johnny's neck.

Here are the top five moments from tonight's show!

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for August 23, 2018

Eddie Edwards shows up to start tonight's show. Eddie says that he is an honest man, and that he can admit that for the last two weeks, he has gotten his ass kicked. He says that he was down, but he has picked himself up, dusted himself off and is once again standing in the ring looking for a fight. Eddie says he has been called every name in the book, and while he may be all or none of those things, he is just a man, and no person would be able to go through what he has been through with his wife, getting hit with a baseball bat, Sami Callihan or Tommy Dreamer without coming out the same person, and says that he loves what he has become: a person with nothing to lose as well as a dangerous person. Eddie goes on to say that he has had a vision of himself swinging a Kendo stick through the air and cracking it off the skulls of Austin Aries and Killer Kross, and proposes that his dream come true tonight. He then calls out Aries and Kross, saying they can either come down to the ring or he can find them himself. Aries and Kross show up, and Aries says that is no problem. He even says that he and Kross will make it easier for him, and tells Eddie he had his chance and he blew it. He also tells Eddie he is crazy, stupid and dangerous, then says he found someone who is crazier and more dangerous. Aries then tells Eddie that if he wants to fight somebody, he and Kross will make it easy for him, and tell him that if he has a chance against him and Kross with a Kendo stick, he has another thing coming. Before Aries can finish that statement, however, Eddie tosses the Kendo stick to Kross and punches Aries in the head before taking the Kendo stick and hitting Kross in the back of the leg with it. Aries eventually hits a chop block on Eddie, and Kross and Aries put Eddie in a submission hold at the same before referees rush in. Kross scares all of the referees away, then Aries grabs a steel chair and puts it around Eddie's neck. He is about to swing another steel chair into the first one when Moose shows up - his first appearance since Slammiversary - with a steel chair of his own, forcing Aries and Kross to retreat.

We hear from oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan). Sami tells Dave he should be upset with Pentagon Jr., as everything that has happened to them recently is Pentagon Jr.'s fault, then says he and Pentagon Jr. will settle the score once and for all. As Sami speaks, Jake Crist is mimicking him to the letter.

Backstage, Moose tells Eddie Edwards that he has his back, and that they will take care of Austin Aries and Killer Kross. Meanwhile, Alisha Edwards shows up, and Eddie thinks he and Alisha are back together. Alisha tells him that's not true, and that she has a match to get ready for.

Before the next match, Sydal states that life had felt like "an impossible assignment" since losing the X Division Championship until last week, when he experienced enlightenment. He says that transcendence is ineffable and that it is his duty to awaken all beings on earth.

"Reborn" Matt Sydal beats Zachary Wentz.

Backstage, The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley) celebrate their recent success with Eli Drake, but Eli Drake tells them that they are not exactly friends, and that he picked them to do one thing for him, and he did all the work while they just stood there. He tells The Cult of Lee that they can now take a walk as neither of them could beat Joe Hendry or the two men who step out of a nearby set of double doors. The Cult of Lee challenge these two men to a fight, and Trevor Lee says they will prove that Eli Drake is their best friend when they beat them in the ring. Eli Drake, totally not believing what he is seeing, says he has to see this before leaving.

It is announced that for the first time ever, Impact Wrestling TV tapings will take place in Mexico City, Mexico on September 13th and 14th.

We hear from "The Machine" Brian Cage, who says he came to Impact Wrestling because the company was going somewhere and he knew that he could stand out there and be better than anyone else. He boasts about his two victories against Lashley, and says nobody can do what he does in the ring. He says he came to Impact to take over the X Division and bring in a new era for the division. Cage admits that he has nothing bad to say about Fenix, but says that he can do whatever Fenix can do and that Fenix will learn that at Redefined.

This week's GWN Flashback Moment of the Week is "The Cowboy" James Storm vs. Christopher Daniels, which sees the return of AJ Styles.

In footage from earlier today, Fallah Bahh gives KM a gift. The gift is a bag with Fallah Baah's face on it, and when he looks inside, a surprised KM asks if the contents are really going to help them win a match.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading to tonight's Mexican Death Match between Sami Callihan and Pentagon Jr.

Before the next match, KM shows up in a pair of trunks similar to Fallah Bahh's. On the way to the ring, Bahh has KM take off his boots. It is also noticed that while Bahh has a panda on his trunks, KM has a ferret.

Fallah Bahh and KM - now finally on the same page - beat The Desi Hit Squad (Rohit Raju and Gursinder Singh).

Backstage, Katarina and Joe Hendry talk with Grado. Katarina is concerned about Grado losing matches, but Joe Hendry feels that Grado will get a win next week. Katarina and Hendry leave, but Grado suddenly hears smoke gushing out. Behind him is "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux, who invites him to her show to help him with his women problems in exchange for doing something for her and Bob Kapoor (aka "Bobo"). That something is Grado pole dancing in front of Bob and Bordeaux.

Kiera Hogan beats Alisha Edwards. After the match, Allie congratulates Kiera on her victory tonight, and while she doesn't want to take away from her win, she has something to say. Allie calls out Su Yung again for taking Madison Rayne and Rosemary away as well as forcing her into the darkness, which she admits changed her and showed her her purpose of putting an end to Su Yung. However, every time she tries to do that, she has to look over her shoulder for Tessa Blanchard, so it seems all she can do is get both Blanchard and Su Yung in the ring with her at the same time. She then challenges both of them to a three-way match next week.

We see footage from earlier today where Johnny Impact is attacked by Kongo Kong at a pool party in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Johnny fights back with a leather belt, and sends Kongo Kong into the pool.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to the three-way match between Allie, Tessa Blanchard and Su Yung, which is now official for next week.

In footage from earlier today, Alicia interviews Rich Swann, who has now signed a long-term contract with Impact Wrestling. Swann says Impact is one of the hottest companies with the biggest buzzes right now, and he wanted to be part of something special. Now that he is in Impact, his ultimate goal is to win the X Division Championship. He says he has seen some of the greats that have shaped the division and held the title. Next week, he will face "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams at Redefined. Swann says he has been getting ready for the match, and he plans on setting himself in stone and putting his name in lights.

We hear from Pentagon Jr., who tells Sami Callihan that he is the king of the Mexican Death Match, a match about honor, dignity, pride and respect. He plans to make Callihan respect him and inflict so much pain on him.

Alicia interviews Austin Aries and Killer Kross. Aries says he thought he was done with Moose after Slammiversary and that he would have some sense slammed into him, and says the first time, he crushed his dreams. This time, he and Kevin Kross will end Moose's career. He says Moose could not beat him last time, and asks what makes him think he can do it now before challenging Moose and Eddie Edwards to a tag team match next week. Kross screams "One week!" into the microphone three times.

Eli Drake guests on commentary for the next match.

Brandon Tidwell and Mr. Atlantis get an upset win on The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley) as Brandon Tidwell counters the Gravy Train from Caleb Konley with a schoolboy pin.

As they head to the car, a kid named Richie gets run over by The OG'z.

Sami Callihan beats Pentagon Jr. in a Mexican Death Match with a piledriver off the top rope into a table.

Here are five extreme moments from tonight's Mexican Death Match!

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for August 9, 2018

The show begins with a brawl between The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) and The OG'z (Homicide and Hernandez) somewhere in the arena.

"The Bone Soldier" Taiji Ishimori and "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams beat The Desi Hit Squad (Rohit Raju and Gursinder Singh).

We hear from Pentagon Jr., who says that "Reborn" Matt Sydal was once a champion just like he was. He says that Sydal talks about the cosmos and the universe, but he plans to take Sydal to his universe where only one thing exists: pain. If Sydal does not believe him, he can ask Sami Callihan. He mentions Sydal's "third eye," then says he has two words: cero miedo.

Backstage, Alicia interview Allie and Kiera Hogan. Allie says it is typical of Tessa Blanchard to attack her from behind. She says that Tessa will soon get hers, then says she will not be distracted again. Allie says that she made a promise to stop Su Yung so that nobody else gets stuffed in a casket. Next week, she wants a match against Su Yung. As for Tessa Blanchard, who thinks this is a ploy to get her hands on the Knockouts Championship, she tells her this is about her stopping Su Yung. She does not even care if the title is on the line; she just wants her in the ring. Kiera Hogan tells Su Yung to bring her undead bridesmaids, and is Tessa Blanchard wants a part of it, she can join in, too. Kiera tells Su Yung her time has come, but Allie corrects Kiera, saying Su Yung's time is up.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading up to Eddie Edwards vs. Austin Aries for the Impact World Championship.

Backstage, Alicia interviews Austin Aries, who wants to know what has happened to Eddie Edwards after having known him for years. He says something has happened to him and says what he is doing is lunacy. He would rather get in the ring with the old Eddie Edwards, but tonight, Eddie Edwards is unpredictable and dangerous, and that has him a little worried. However, he is World Champion for a reason, and no matter how unpredictable and dangerous the match will be, he will still come out on top.

Backstage, Grado wants to know from Joe Hendry and Katarina what happened last week. Katarina tells him that Hendry was yanked off the ring apron before saying that Eli Drake never tagged out and Grado still could not beat him. She then says that Joe Hendry has done it, and will do it again next week. Hendry says he will take care of Eli Drake just like he had Grado's back in primary school. Grado says that Joe Hendry has saved him before and will do it again, and promises to do better next time.

Tessa Blanchard beats Alisha Edwards, who is now going simply by Alisha. After the match, Tessa says she made an example out of Alisha, and tells Allie that she may have everyone else fooled, but she has not fooled her as she knows what her intentions are and she can see through her. She says the only thing Allie cares about is helping herself and taking the Knockouts title. Next week, if Allie is going after Su Yung and the Knockouts Championship, then she is coming after her.

Bob Kapoor is seen carrying all of "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux's bags.

Alicia interviews "Reborn" Matt Sydal. He may have lost the X Division Championship, but he still has the spirit of the division and he plans to prove that against Pentagon Jr. tonight. He praises the wrestling gods for matches like this, for this is why he wakes up in the morning. He says he does not have a problem with anyone, but he is glad to be in the spotlight with Pentagon Jr. as he will soon open everyone's third eyes.

This week's Global Wrestling Network Flashback Moment of the Week is Chris Sabin vs. Chris Sabin in the 2006 World X Cup tiebreaker.

Backstage, KM and Fallah Bahh have an argument over whether to cheat in their matches when "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux walks by, stopping the argument entirely.

"The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux spends some time with the powers that be, saying that ever since she got here, the other Knockouts have been mean to her and that they are jealous of her, and she does not feel comfortable getting in the ring with them. The two unseen men give Scarlett her own show, which is almost immediately named "The Smoke Show" and is scheduled for next week. Scarlett thanks them, then leaves.

Pentagon Jr. beats "Reborn" Matt Sydal. After the match, oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Calliah) is seen on the video screen, with Sami saying he is tired of losing and that there will be consequences. He demands that one of the Crist brothers shave their head, and gives them both ten seconds to decide. Jake decides at the last second to volunteer to have his head shaved, but Sami, seeing Dave's hesitation, makes Jake cut Dave's head so that they can "look like a family," much to the sadness to Jake.

The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz) show up. Konnan talks about how they beat The OG'z (Homicide and Hernandez) in the 5150 Street Fight in Slammiversary as well as how The OG'z jumped them in the building earlier today. He then calls King and The OG'z out so that they can finish their brawl, but The OG'z are seen up near the lights. Konnan calls King a "walking, talking glory hole," but King says they have their tag team titles and that LAX won a battle, not the war, and that Konnan was right to believe they were setting LAX up. King tells Konnan to stop being scared and instead of ending the war in the ring, to end it in the streets. Konnan says he raised The OG'z in the streets, and that the streets are not only watching, they are listening, and the only group that runs them is LAX. King says The OG'z are the streets, but Konnan tells him you can kill a revolutionary but not the revolution. This street fight is then announced for next week.

Austin Aries retains the Impact World Championship against Eddie Edwards. During the match, Aries' tried-and-true tactic of teasing using a championship as a weapon, handing the title to the referee instead and going for a low blow as the ref takes the title out of the ring backfires when Eddie Edwards catches and counters it. Eddie Edwards' feet inadvertently knock down the referee as Austin Aries gets him in the fireman's carry position and spins him around. Afterwards, Aries tries to use the Impact World Championship as a weapon, but Eddie blocks it with a kick to the gut followed by a double arm DDT. He goes for a pinfall, but the referee is still down. Eddie takes advantage of the situation by grabbing a Kendo stick and hitting the referee in the back, but Aries kicks him in the groin and goes for the brainbuster. Eddie escapes the movi and hits Aries in the back of the head with the Kendo stick, sending Aries falling into the corner. As Eddie chokes Aries out with the Kendo stkick in the corner, Killer Kross suddenly shows up and grabs Eddie, laying him out with a Saito suplex before leaving the ring and placing the World title in the corner. Aries then goes for the brainbuster and hits it, and the referee come to just in time to count the pinfall that allows Aries to retain the title.

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.

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.

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.

Scarlett asks if he is new around here, as she can remember a face like his being around.

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."
