However, everything happens for a reason, and reasons are meant to be capitalized upon, and in the last couple of weeks, she has been creating career moments by beating some of the toughest women she has ever stepped into an Impact ring with. She then says that management has promised her that if she could defeat Taya, they would give her one more opportunity to make a moment for herself. She says she will take that moment not just for herself, but for her daughter at home as well as the fans who have supported her over the years. At Slammiversary XVI, she will beat Su Yung and become a six-time Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion.

He says that the answer is simply "Why not?" and that there is no continuity in the universe; only mayhem.

She says the Knockouts division was not built on building, and says that when something like what happened last week takes place, somebody needs to do the right thing. She is then confronted by Tessa Blanchard, who tells her to stay at home before telling her that they should meet face-to-face next time they are both in the ring.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Z&E (DJ Z and Andrew Everett). DJ Z says it is surreal that they are champions, especially when Eli Drake and Scott Steiner were twice their size, and that they have proven that they can hang with the rest of the tag team division. Everett says that time and time again, they have been painted as the underdogs, but every dog has its day. Suddenly, Scott Steiner and Eli Drake, and Steiner says Z&E only won because they "slipped on a banana peel" and that they could not beat him and Eli Drake ten times out of ten. Eli Drake tells Scott Steiner to calm down and that they will get the titles eventually, but when Steiner says that if Eli Drake had been at the right place at the right time, none of this would be happening. This leads to an argument between Eli Drake and Scott Steiner that sees Scott Steiner walking away.

We hear from oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan), who tell Eddie Edwards that if he thinks he can stick his nose in the business, then they will take it personally and they will have people everywhere watching him. He says oVe is a religion, and they will hurt him to prove a point as they take control of everything.

El Hijo del Fantasma beats Braxton Sutter. After the match, he asks if this is it for him and says Allie isn't out here because she ruins lives. He says he has been kicked, spit on and disrespected too many times, and no matter how many times he goes to management, he is the biggest star everyone has ever seen and he did not even get an entrance tonight.

Suddenly, Taiji Ishimori shows up and hands Sydal a scroll in which Ishimori demands that Sydal defend the Grand Championship in their match as well so he can take two titles back to Japan and tell everyone how Sydal is a choke artist. He also goes on to call Sydal a douchebag.

Kongo Kong then chokes Joseph Park out with a scarf, and Jimmy says they do not have to come out this way before he asks him again two more times. Joseph Park cannot answer due to being choked out, and Jimmy Jacobs tells him that they are just getting started.

The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley) are having a celebration, saying that they have The Latin-American Xchange shook and that they are going to take the tag team titles.

They try to shove The Cult of Lee's faces into the pool before throwing them in, and tell them they will be coming back for the bandannas they stole.

Alberto El Patron tells Johnny Impact and Austin Aries they have taken the spot that belongs to him, and that it should be him competing to be the Impact World Championship. He says it doesn't matter, and they can pretend to do something amazing and be real men. At the end of the day, they will have to face him, for if you are not with him, you are against him. He says that Johnny and Aries are just faces for him, and that the main goal is destruction and becoming Impact World Champion.

Rosemary beats Hania the Huntress. After the match, Rosemary says Hania thought she wanted to play, but she is nothing more than a puppy dog and she is still the alpha bitch. She asks the fans if they should prove that once and for all and take back the Impact Knockouts Championship, and says she will stop at nothing to reclaim it. Suddenly, Taya Valkyrie shows up for the first time since January, and asks Rosemary if she missed her, saying her fans did. She has been listening to what Rosemary has had to say, and she finds it hilarious as the "bitch part" is the only truth in it.

Both women get on the apron on opposite sides, but Taya attacks as soon as Rosemary turns her back before hitting Road To Valhalla on the ramp.

KM brings the Impact Knockouts Championship out to the ring and asks as the minister for the ceremony. KM reveals that he is an ordained minister and that he has married both straight and gay couples, but tonight, he will be marrying a woman with an inanimate object. When he asks if anybody has any objections as to why Laurel Van Ness should not marry the Knockouts Championship, someone shows up. That person is Braxton Sutter, who is now in a neck brace after being plowed into the mat by Brian Cage, and that your life does not flash before your eyes before you die. He says the only thing he saw that was important to him was Laurel Van Ness, and that one year ago, he made the biggest mistake of his life when he left her at the altar, and says that Allie ruins people's lives. He says that Van Ness is doing great, and while he is not here to stop the marriage, he loves her, and proposes that the two of them - and the Impact Knockouts Championship - live in holy matrimony. Laurel Van Ness says no, and tells him to get out. KM asks for any more objections on Van Ness' behalf, Van Ness wants to make sure. All of a sudden, someone sneaks into the ring dressed in all black, and this time, it is Allie, who goes after Laurel Van Ness and beats her up.

Eli Drake has made the challenge, and he is going to take it. He has been the company for a long time, through the good times and bad, but there has been a rebirth and he can make a difference. He can only make a difference if he is on top, and to stay on top, he must remain champion. He tells Eli Drake he has never stepped into the ring with someone like him, and he hopes Eli Drake has prepared himself as he does not expect to beat him in 60 seconds. Whether it takes 60 seconds or 60 minutes, he will walk out Impact World Champion.

When asked what will happen if he loses the title on a non-Impact show, he says that he will have to make sure that does not happen.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Ethan Carter III. EC3 says there is a lot of speculation and controversy about where he stands, but says he is the best guy here, there and anywhere, and if anyone thinks he will not fulfill his destiny of becoming a three-time World Champion, they are fools. He will hunt Moose, he will drink Alberto El Patron's shot, and Johnny Impact is an impact in name only, as he is the real impact player and he is EC3.

The Pluto TV Rewind of the Week is "Wildcat" Chris Harris hitting a leg drop off the top of a cage.

We hear from "Reborn" Matt Sydal and Taiji Ishimori backstage. Sydal says that if there is one thing his spiritual adviser has helped him, it is to harness the power of another champion, absorb what they put out, and put it in your heart and soul.

He wishes Ishimori the best of luck, then says he can feel and absorb every ounce of what goes on in Impact Wrestling.
