Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for November 18, 2021

Brian Myers beats Sam Beale in the BTI match with two Roster Cuts. After the match, Myers pulls out two chairs from underneath the ring, then attacks Beale with one of them. He then hits Sam Beale with a Con-Chair-To. Rich Swann and Willie Mack run into the ring, and Brian Myers leaves with VSK and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice as Swann and Willie check on Sam Beale.

Steve Maclin beats Laredo Kid to enter the X Division title match at Turning Point.

Backstage, Rich Swann and Willie Mack are in the trainer's room. Rich Swann says that what Brian Myers did was despicable and not what leaders do. Swann challenges Myers to a match at Turning Point so he can hit him with a switch from the learning tree and show what a real leader does.

Backstage, we hear from Trey Miguel. He says Steve Maclin could not beat him last time and blamed other people for it, and somehow bitched enough about deserving to be in the X Division title match at Turning Point to get another shot. He says that he will stay champion after Turning Point.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "Inevitable" Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Austin says there is no reason to accept another match from Chris Sabin because he has beaten him already. Sabin shows up and says that Austin is supposed to be the future of the company, but cheats or relies on Fulton to win. He says that if Austin can beat him without cheating, all he needs to do is accept the challenge. Austin accepts only because Sabin wants a rematch so bad, then goes for a cheap shot. Sabin somehow fends Austin and Fulton off, and while Austin escapes, Sabin is able to trap Fulton in a storage closet.

The IInspiration (Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee) beat The Undead Bridesmaids (Kimber Lee and Brandi Lauren). After the match, Decay (Rosemary, Havok, Crazzy Steve, Black Taurus) shows up and surrounds The IInspiration in the ring, then Rosemary and Havok raise the Knockouts Tag Team Championships before Decay as a whole slowly slither out of the ring.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the Week is Heath and Rhino vs. Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend) from Victory Road 2020.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona. Chelsea says she knew she had to have the Digital Media Championship, and when she wants something, she gets it. Matt Cardona says he hopes Eddie Edwards does great at Turning Point, then says he came close to beating Moose. He then says that whoever wins at Turning Point, he wants the World Championship. W. Morrissey shows up and says that Matt Cardona is not going to get a title shot because he is in his way. Cardona takes this as a challenge and says he will see him at Turning Point.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Eddie Edwards. Eddie says it has been a long time coming and that the history he and Moose has makes their match sweeter. Suddenly, Eddie is attacked from behind by Moose. The brawl soon makes its way to the stage and down the ramp, where Moose slams Eddie into the ring apron with a uranagi followed by a powerbomb. Moose then pulls out a table from underneath the ring and sets it up, but Eddie grabs a chair and hits Moose with it. Moose soon has the chair, and he puts Eddie's head through it before sending Eddie into the ring post. Eddie manages to avoid a shot from another chair and free himself, then hits Moose in the back with the chair in the ring. After a few more chair shots, Eddie hits a Tiger Driver '97 followed by a Boston Knee Party. Moose ends up lying on the same table he set up, but Eddie reaches underneath the ring and pulls out a ladder. He throws a chair at Moose, then sets up the ladder and climbs all the way up, but Moose is able to get up and escape. Backstage, Moose says that if Eddie Edwards wants to come at him and wants to think he is evil, he should see what he is capable of at Turning Point. Scott D'Amore shows up and says that Moose cannot leave well enough alone, and announces that Moose and Eddie Edwards' match will be a Full Metal Mayhem Match.

Backstage, we hear from Mercedes Martinez, who says that mutual respect ended when she dropped Mickie James on her head. She tells Mickie James not to turn her back on her, then says she is here to dominate Impact Wrestling and that in two days, she will take Mickie out and begin her legacy.

"The Big LG" Doc Gallows beats Hikuleo after "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson is able to distract Chris Bey and El Phantasmo by distracting the referee.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Deonna Purrazzo and Matthew Rehwoldt. Purrazzo says she has been at home and other places in the last month. When asked when she will return, Purrazzo says she does not know. She also says that nobody deserves an explanation for her disappearance or anything from her, for she is a two-time Knockouts Champion and she can analyze her mistakes moving forward. Purrazzo then says that everyone will have to wait to see what her next moves are before she and Rehwoldt leave.

Backstage, we hear from FinJuice (Juice Robinson and David Finlay). David Finlay says that their time in Las Vegas, Nevada has not been kind to them and that they have lost their recent tag team title shots. Juice Robinson says they have lost before and can do it again. Scott D'Amore shows up and says that he knows they have hit a rough patch and need to find their focus again, and at Turning Point, they will face Decay and show what FinJuice is all about.

We hear from Eric Young, who asks what freedom is and what it it like to truly be free. He says that Rhino was free when he was pure and knowledgeable of the truth and that he was a part of something special, but he made a choice with ramifications he is not ready for. He then says that Heath and Rhino want Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) at Turning Point, an event name he finds apt, because it will be when he builds a monument of violence on their backs. He tells Rhino to understand that he made the wrong choice, and at Turning Point, he will end everything between them forever.

Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus) and The Demon beat Johnny Swinger, Hernandez and Fallah Bahh with a sleeper from The Demon to Johnny Swinger.

Backstage, John E. Bravo checks on Johnny Swinger, but Swinger feels like he has hit rock bottom. Suddenly, Rosemary and Havok teleport in, and John E. Bravo says he just wants Swinger to be happy after all he has done for him. Rosemary says she can make that happen for a price: his sweet virgin blood.

Backstage, we hear form Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering. Jordynne says that while she respects Chelsea Green, she is Digital Media Champion for a reason. Ellering mentions Jordynne's other Impact accolades, then Jordynne says Chelsea could not get it done and can't do it again now. We then hear from Mickie James, who says that she respected Mercedes Martinez for a long time and thought she was helping a friend. She says she will not make that mistake again, and tells "the original OG" to prepare for an "original ass whuppin'."

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander beats Minoru Suzuki.

Backstage, Decay invites The Influence (Kaleb and Madison Rayne) and the staff of the former Swinger's Palace to Wrestle House 2, which starts next week.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for October 21, 2021

W. Morrisey beats Jake Something in the BTI match.

Bullet Club (Chris Bey and Hikuleo) vs. Finn Juice (Juice Robinson and David Finlay) ends in controversy with neither team winning. During the match, the referee is inadvertently hit by Chris Bey's boots and knocked out as Finaly hits a uranagi. A second referee shows up to call the match, and when the first referee comes to, he counts a pinfall for Chris Bey while the second referee counts a pinfall for Juice Robinson. This leads to both referees not knowing who the winner is.

Backstage, FinJuice (Juice Robinson and David Finlay) and Bullet Club (Chris Bey and Hikuleo) argue along with the two referees. Scott D'Amore stops the argument by saying somebody will be challenging The Good Brothers for the Impact World Tag Team titles, and he will make a decision tonight.

The team of John Skyler and Tenille Dashwood beat the team of Fallah Bahh and Jordynne Grace and the team of Chelsea Green and Crazzy Steve in a three-way tag team match.

Rhino is in the ring. As Rhino is about to speak, Heath shows up. Heath says it has been a while and says that he and the fans are confused and that it is definitely because of Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner), then tells Rhino that if there is anything he can take away from tonight, it is that he loves him and that he is his best friend and his family misses "Uncle Rhino." As Rhino flashes a smile at Heath, Violent By Design shows up. Eric Young says Violent By Design is forever and something one does not walk away from him, and reminds Rhino he made a pact and promise to him and that Violent By Design is his family now. Heath tells Rhino not to rejoin Violent By Design, and Eric Young tells Rhino he told him the truth and made him into his pure form. Heath tells Rhino he is being brainwashed, but Eric Young has none of it. This soon leads to Violent By Design attacking Heath only for Rhino to pull Deaner off of Heath. Eric Young commands Rhino to break Heath in half, and Rhino teases hitting the Gore only to roll out of the ring and leave. Violent By Design then continue to attack Heath, and Eric Young breaks the flagpole of the Violent By Design flag on Heath's back.

We see a video package for Minoru Suzuki, who is coming soon to Impact.

Mickie James beats Savannah Evans in a Pick Your Poison Match that is also Mickie's first match in Impact in six years. During the match, Deonna Purrazzo shows up to watch the rest of the match. After the match, Deonna Purrazzo taunts Mickie James, laying a hand on her - but not hitting her - in the process, then has Matthew Rehwoldt attack Mickie from behind.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Deonna Purrazzo, who says she followed the rules of the no-contact clause, did not hit Mickie and that she did not even have to hit Mickie James. When Scott D'Amore shows up, D'Amore tells Purrazzo that she still made contact with Mickie when she touched her, but tells her that he would rather have lose the Knockouts title in the ring than a courtoom. He also bans Matthew Rehwoldt from ringside at Bound For Glory for breaking the intent of the no-contact clause.

Backstage, Brian Myers cuts Manny Lemons and Sam Beale from the learning tree and leaves Zicky Dice and VSK as part of his learning tree.

Backstage, Scott D'Amore is met by Hardy Evans, The IInspiration's (Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee) entertainment barrister (and formerly Deonna Purrazzo's barrister). Rosemary and Havok teleport into the room. Scott D'Amore has Rosemary, Havok and Hardy Evans sign the contract for the Knockouts tag team title match. Rosemary has to be stopped from signing the contract with Hardy Evans' blood. They all sign. Rosemary then says that she and Havok cannot wait to bite The IInspiration's faces off.

Trey Miguel beats Alex Zayne. After the match, Steve Maclin runs into the ring and attacks Trey Miguel from behind and takes Trey out with a piledriver. Bullet Club then runs into the ring and gangs up on Maclin. El Phantasmo superkicks Maclin, then punches Trey in the groin.

It is announced that both will get a shot at The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) and the Impact World Tag Team Championships at Bound For Glory.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring. Alexander talks about his match for the World Championship at Bound For Glory, and says that while it is a risk, the risk for this match is nothing compared to nearly having his career ended by injury and coming back to the sport he loves. Alexander then says that he has worked for every opportunity that has led him to this and that he will take risks all day long, and the one risk he is not willing to take is telling his sons not to chase their dreams, as the biggest risks have the biggest rewards. Christian Cage shows up, and says that while he understands the enormity of Alexander's situation having been on the biggest stages in the industry, Alexander will be able to deal with the pressure if he can keep his emotions in check. He also says that as much as he respects Alexander, Alexander has done nothing to show that he has it in him. Alexander says he has heard his critics over the years, saying it is similar to what Christian has received and has given him a chip on his shoulder a mile wide. He mentions Christian Cage wanting to come to Impact to make a difference for younger talent, then says he will never be a full part of Impact as long as AEW pays him and that he will bring the Impact World title back where it belongs. Alexander then says he will slam the Forbidden Door in Christian's face and prove that anyone else who wants to walk through the door will see him on the other side. Christian says Alexander is not the best wrestling in the ring, let alone Canada, and that he will stay champion. Alexander takes Christian down with a double leg takedown, starting a brawl that security has to break up. Members of the locker room also have to get involved and keep both men apart.

Callis and Omega agree that real men and women don't quit, they get fired, then Callis says everything has been going pretty great after the events of Slammiversary. 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. He then says that two weeks is too long to wait, and says that thanks to Scott D'Amore, he has a six-man tag match against Omega and The Good Brothers next week.

He then calls Francine, who takes offense to not being Myers' first choice despite all the support he has given her before saying Myers is not even in her league. She then asks how Myers even got her number before hanging up on her.

Rich Swann and Willie Mack beats Violent By Design (Deaner and Rhino).

At Swinger's Palace, Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona wants to know who is favored for Homecoming. Alisha mentions that not all the teams are known, and that there is room for a Swinger's Palace team. "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams and Jordynne Grace show up in chainmail headwear to give some Steiner Math, then W. Morrissey - who is unimpressed with Swinger's Palace - tells Alisha that after Homecoming, Eddie Edwards will not be coming home to her safe and sound ever again. Chelsea Green tells Matt Cardona that next time, she picks where they go on a date.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Eddie Edwards, who says that W. Morrissey has made it known that nobody cares for him and that he has nobody to care for, and that he came to Impact to rethink his career. He says that he has had it worse and that he had Morrissey beat in the parking lot, and that he will take whatever Morrissey has in their hardcore match at Homecoming.

Sami Callihan heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Sami says that ever since Kenny Omega showed up in Impact, all he has been seeing is "a bunch of bullcrap," which is why The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) cost him the match at Under Siege, for they are afraid of him. He says that one can plan for a guy like Moose or Rich Swann, but that one cannot plan for a guy like him, and says Don Callis will do everything in his power to keep Omega away from him because he is scared and knows what will happen if Omega gets in the ring with him. Sami then calls out Kenny Omega, but gets Moose instead. Moose says that Sami is doing a lot of complaining, then says nobody cares, because the last time he checked, Sami is not the #1 contender for the Impact World Championship and did not beat five other men at Under Siege. He then tells Sami to stay out of his business, because Kenny Omega is his business until Against All Odds, and when he beats Kenny Omega to become Impact World Championship, Sami can continue to complain so he can beat him too. Sami says Moose should find it suspicious The Good Brothers are attacking him and not Moose, because Don Callis knows he is unsafe and dangerous. Suddenly, The Good Brothers show up. Anderson asks Sami if he will blame them for not catching a fish or his wife divorcing him while saying he and Gallows are tired of being blamed for things, and Gallows tells Sami to stay out of Kenny Omega's and Moose's business, for they are on Moose's side.

TJP and Fallah Bahh beat "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews W. Morrissey. Morrissey says that says all he cares about is other people hearing what he has to say, and that he has a realistic view of the wrestling business, as people kicked him while he was down and fans made fun of his pain. He says that when he was at his lowest point, nobody wanted to contact him and everyone laughed at him, and when he came back, everybody acted like they were happy to see him again to try to be friends with him because he is doing great. On the subject of Rich Swann and Willie Mack, Morrissey says they are not friends, and that Swann is only looking to boost his ego and that Swann and Mack are the same as everyone else who laughed at him. W. Morrissey then looks at the camera and says "Who's laughing now?" before he is suddenly superkicked by Rich Swann. Security has to jump in to separate both men.

We see a video package for the Knockouts division.

Rachael Ellering says she will fit in, but Jordynne reluctantly goes with it.

We see a video package where Jake Something and Rohit Raju talk about their history with each other, followed by Jake Something and Rohit Raju hating each other. Jake Something thinks Rohit Raju's mind has been warped, while Rohit Raju feels that Jake has been catered to while his talent has been swept under the rug. Both of them make it clear they want to win their tables match.

Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhino) heads to the ring. Eric Young says that violence may be scary, unpredictable and chaotic for some, but to them, it is a tool, a vehicle and a well-lit path from where they are to where they want to go. He says he needed like-minded people with their eyes open who knew that the disease needed to be obliterated, and that he picked Joe Doering because he cut his own path of violence. As for Deaner, he found him when he was sick and at his lowest, and he opened his eyes and showed him the truth when he had no drive or motivation and allowed him to be "his pure self" and his most diabolical, violent, righteous and perfect version of himself. He then says that Rhino was sick, weak and a shadow of his former self until he opened his eyes and brought back "the war machine" with the most violent instincts in the business and a Call Your Shot trophy that they waited to use, and says it was all by design. He says that Juice Robinson and David Finlay are back in Japan and cannot get a rematch, then says that Violent By Design have come back more pure and more violent than before, and that the wrestling world will belong to them.

Backstage, Joe Doering accepts Satoshi Kojima's challenge. Suddenly, Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus) show up, and when Deaner tells them not to interrupt, Steve tells Deaner he is in Eric Young's shadow. As Deaner says that he has never seen more clearly and that he is in his purest form while calling Steve is a "sick freak clown," it is the clever ones who play the fool and that the foolish ones "do not see him" for it.

Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus) beat Johnny Swinger and Hernandez.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 23, 2021

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Trey Miguel, who refuses to answers any questions when asked about how he feels following his loss to Sami Callihan last week.

We hear from "Inevitable" Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Fulton gives himself a round of applause when he made himself a full-circle career moment at Sacrifice and beat TJP to become a two-time X Division Champion. He says that he knows what is like to be champion, and as soon as the championship is around his waist, the challengers are already lining up and wanting to be first in line to face him. Austin says everyone is hung up on the past, but he is not, and he calls the shots. He says that TJP will not walk all over him like he did when he arrived in Impact, and says that this rematch tonight will be his last and he will still be X Division Champion.

Backstage, Don Callis is met by Sami Callihan as he heads into the arena. Callihan says he is very rarely wrong about people, yet everyone thinks he is the bad guy. He says that he was doing the entire world a favor when he beat him up a few years ago, as he knew who he was since day one. Callihan says Callis is more worried about himself, but Callihan says that everything has been going great for him before wishing him well. Callihan tells Callis that he does not care who wins between Kenny Omega and Rich Swann, as they will have a death with the Death Machine and he will come back to take back what is his.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Matt Cardona, who says that he loves it in Impact and that the handcuffs are off and he is ready to wrestle some new competition. Cardona says that always being ready is not just a catchphrase, and that being on top and always ready makes everything that much sweeter. As for his Twitter feud with Brian Myers, his showing up soon after Myers is a coincidence, and he is here to make his own opportunities. He says it is time for Myers to put up or shut up, and challenges him to a match. He also says that after that match, they are done regardless of who wins or loses.

Backstage, XXXL (Acey Romero and Larry D) confront Trey Miguel as he goes off and throws things around. Tommy Dreamer shows up and challenges them to a Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match as a joke, then tells him to go to Scott D'Amore to face Acey Romero tonight. He also tells Trey Miguel not to let Sami Callihan get into his head, as it will only set him back when he has all the tools to become champion and it will send him down the same route as Tommy Dreamer went in the past.

We see another paid advertisement from Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan, with Don Callis and Kenny Omega joining them. The card for tomorrow night's Dynamite is announced. During the advertisement, Omega says there is no chance that Matt Sydal will get a AEW World Championship match against him, but Tony Khan says anything can happen on Dynamite. Omega and Callis then walk out.

Backstage, The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) head to Kenny Omega's dressing room, but Kenny is not there. It does not take them long to head elsewhere.

Kenny Omega and Don Callis head to the ring. Callis says that Omega will not only make a home in Impact, but that he will also take the Impact World title. He mentions his conversation with Rich Swann in the ring last week, and says that the one thing Swann cannot get out of his head is the One-Winged Angel. Callis says that Swann can prepare all he wants, but Omega just has to hit that move once, as nobody has ever kicked out of it. Omega says he gave Swann a taste of things to come, then he and Callis agree that he needs more championship gold. Callis says he is willing to do anything to suck every drop of blood out of the company if it helps Kenny Omega, then debuts a vignette that pays tribute to the One-Winged Angel. After the vignette, Omega says that everyone started walking on eggshells when he arrived, and that the only reason he is here is for the Impact World Championship. He says that while Rich Swann wants to be part of history like him, he will become a footstep in history when he wins the Impact World Championship, and says that while his debut was the greatest day in Impact history, for him, it was Tuesday. He then says that it will become evident that Impact has nobody who can even compete with him, and that he will lose the Impact World Championship when he is dead. He says that he will beat Swann for the title, for it is history. Omega then tells everyone to get ready for the show, and Callis says that they will make history at Rebellion.

We hear from Eric Young, who says that remorse is a symptom of "the disease." He says that Rhino had what it took to be a monster in his DNA, and that he just had to awaken it.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Havok and Nevaeh. Nevaeh says they are doing well as a team, but as Havok says this could be momentum to go for the Knockouts tag team titles, Fire 'n Flava (Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz) show up. Hogan tells them that they can step up to the plate if they want to, but that they will have to earn a tag team title shot before she and Steelz leave. Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb with a K then show up. Tenille mocks Neveah for nothing winning a match on her own, saying she has not found the right partner yet. As Kale tries to take a picture of Tenille and Nevaeh, Havok is forced to stand between them.

Trey Miguel beats Acey Romero. After the match, Larry D attacks Trey Miguel from behind and Acey Romero joins in. Suddenly, Sami Callihan teleports into the ring and hits Acey with a bat. Trey goes for a superkick on Sami when Larry D grabs him, but Sami ducks and Larry gets kicked instead. Sami then teleports out of the ring.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Rich Swann, who says he is not flustered by what Kenny Omega and Don Callis had to say earlier as he has to face adversity his whole life. He says that he had to go through a lot to become Impact World Champion and that mind games will not throw him off, and while he will give Omega credit for beating him, he has gotten the best of Omega when it is just them one-on-one. He says that all he has to prepare for is the One-Winged Angel and asks Omega how he will prepare for all the situations he got the best of him as he says that he will come out on top.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Cowboy" James Storm and Chris Sabin. Storm hopes to make his 1000th match in Impact Wrestling special with some beer, then says that if Violent By Design wants to increase their numbers, that is fine, for he has done and seen it all in Impact Wrestling. He says that his and Eric Young's history in Impact goes all the way, and says that if he wants to go, he's his huckleberry. Suddenly, Scott D'Amore shows up and makes Storm vs. Young the main event for next week.

"Machine Gun" Karl Anderson beats Eddie Edwards after Anderson kicks out of a roll-up and sends Eddie head-first into a chair being held by "The Big LG" Doc Gallows.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for January 19, 2021

In footage from last Saturday, Don Callis congratulates Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) on their win at Hard To Kill before heading to the hotel. After Omega and The Good Brothers leave, Callis addresses the fans. He says that Omega and The Good Brothers are already planning what is next, then says he will be taking a hiatus and "taking care of business in Jacksonville," before making a return.

Eric Young beats Rhino with the Figure Four Leg Lock after Joe Doering slam's Rhino's leg into the ring post. After the match, Young refuses to let go of the hold, and Violent By Design (Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) wraps a chair around Rhino's leg. Doering stomps the chair while Deaner takes down and holds down Cousin Jake.

In footage from last Saturday, Moose throws Rich Swann into a door, then tells him he has kept his promise of being the best teammate he ever had, and now that the match is over, the Impact World Championship will be his soon. We then hear from Swann, who says that he is tired of the games and that he is giving Moose a chance to prove he is the real world's champion tonight.

Backstage, Acey Romero meets with Tommy Dreamer and shows Dreamer the bottle of Ring Rust, and says that whoever had it turned Larry D into "Lawrence D" before stating that only one set of fingerprints was on both the bottle and the gun.

The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) show up. Anderson asks Gallows how many more times they have to continue proving that they are the draw of the entire wrestling world as he talks about how they set the wrestling world on fire Saturday and made headlines. Gallows says this is what they do and why they are the placeholders of the industry, and that they will keep the Impact World Tag Team Championships as long as they please. Suddenly, Chris Sabin shows up. Sabin says that while he knows The Good Brothers want to treat Impact like their own personal tour bus, he cannot tell if they are drunk or stupid, as The Motor City Machine Guns were not pinned when they lost the tag titles. Sabin demands a tag team title rematch, but Gallows tells him he has no business doing so because he has no tag team partner, but Sabin says he has a partner who knows a lot about tag team wrestling: "The Cowboy" James Storm. Storm introduces himself to The Good Brothers, then says he and Sabin want the tag team titles and tells them to put up or shut up. Suddenly, Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) - members of the All Elite Wrestling roster - show up. After talking about their six-man tag team match against Matt Sydal and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) tomorrow night on Dynamite, he announces that he has brought Private Party in for a warm-up match. Storm tells Matt Hardy this was a private conversation, not a private party, but Hardy says everyone else should be praising him for putting Impact Wrestling on his back and saved it from bankruptcy in 2016, and also mentions how he and Jeff Hardy lost the tag team titles in a "teleportation gone wrong" angle. He then says the warm-up match should be against The Good Brothers, and after mentioning how he and Jeff Hardy lost the tag titles, Gallows says Private Party and the team of Sabin and Storm should fight it out to see who faces them for the tag titles. Matt Hardy then says he will get his lawyers to meet with Impact's lawyers to make it official, then tells Private Party that they must get vicious and get the win.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Matt Cardona. Cardona says he has been asked why he is in Impact Wrestling, and says he wants an opportunity after making the most of opportunities throughout his career, and that he wants to prove himself and his fans right.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Taya Valkyrie when John E. Bravo confronts her, saying she sprayed Larry D with Ring Rust. Suddenly, Tommy Dreamer and Acey Romero show up, and Taya fesses up, saying she never supported Bravo's relationship with Rosemary. After Taya regrets that John E. Bravo didn't die and states that John E. Bravo is useless, she is hauled off. (As Taya is carried away by security, Tommy Dreamer, Acey Romero and John E. Bravo joke that Taya might do time in Jacksonville, Florida; Stanford, Connecticut or Baltimore, Maryland - references to All Elite Wrestling, WWE and Ring of Honor respectively.) Rosemary scares security away and confronts Taya for her behavior. Taya says she does not regret having Rosemary as a friend regardless of what happens. Taya is hauled off, and Crazzy Steve shows up. Rosemary says this is why she does not have friends, as it never works out. After Rosemary asks if this frightens Steve, Steve says this excites him. (This ends up being Taya Valkyrie's last appearance in Impact Wrestling, as her contract has expired.)

We hear from Tony Schiavone, who takes it to Tony Khan and Jerry Lynn. Khan says he and Jerry will be watching closely as Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) appear on tonight's show. Khan puts Private Party on a pedestal, then Tony Schiavone runs down the card for tomorrow night's episode of Dynamite. Afterwards, Khan says Matt Hardy is at Impact because he asked him to be there and that he expects results. It is then revealed that Jerry Lynn and Tony Khan are in the arena right now.

Rich Swann shows up. Swann says he felt the pressure of being Impact World Champion and leading the company into war at Hard To Kill, saying he lives and thrives off that pressure and that he, Chris Sabin and Moose left their hearts in the ring. He admits he had some trust issues with Moose given what all Moose has done, but that his attention was on Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson). Now that Moose has his attention, he wants him to get in the ring so they can settle things. Moose shows up and reminds Swann that people make bad decisions when they are angry and that those decisions tend to make him angry, then says nothing between them will be settled until he gets a World title shot. Swann then gives Moose a World title shot right then and there, but Moose says he says when they will go at it because Swann is on his time. Swann asks what they will do now before starting a brawl. After punching Moose in the face, Swann tears Moose's shirt and hits a few chops before dodging a tackle in the corner and hitting a Phoenix Splash.

Brian Myers beats Fallah Bahh with a kick to the groin following an inadvertent eye poke from Fallah Bahh.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Austin says what happened at Hard To Kill was a tragedy, as he was forced to sit on a countdown show panel and comment on a match, and says "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander's time as a tag team champion is done and that Alexander should fade into the background. Ace Austin also shows his disgust with having to face Matt Cardona instead of taking part in the X Division Championship match. Suddenly, Alexander shows up and says he will make sure Austin will not reach his potential and that opportunities are earned. After Alexander shoves Austin, Fulton grabs Alexander from behind. As Austin is about to punch Alexander, Matt Cardona shows up and beats up Austin, forcing Austin and Fulton to retreat.

Backstage, a trainer tends to Eddie Edwards and tells him not to do barbed wire matches anymore. Suddenly, Brian Myers demands the doctor tend to his poked eye while calling Eddie "a backyarder." Eddie then challenges Myers to a match next week to show him what a professional wrestler and professional wrestling is really like.

During the match, Tony Khan and Jerry Lynn are seen watching the match from behind the guardrail, with Tony Khan taking notes.

Anderson says that for months, rumors were circulating and people wondered where they would go after being released from WWE, and that they are beyond excited to be in Impact Wrestling. He says that Slammiversary trended worldwide because of them, and they became the talk of the wrestling world. Anderson says they are not only the best tag team in the world, but the best big man and the best wrestler in the world. After Anderson says that they turned the wrestling world upside down, Gallows says there is a reason Impact's Internet shop sold out of Good Brothers were quickly sold out, and after plugging "Talk 'N Shop-A-Mania," he says they don't need a "Too Sweet" these days. The two of them are about to have a beer in the ring when Ace Austin and Madman Fulton show up. Austin says he will forgive The Good Brothers for Saturday, as he knows they want to make a statement with their grand entrance, and gives them a chance to apologize as he and Fulton are "the guys" around here.

He says that this journey is over and that it is time for a new journey to begin, then says that stability has been missing for the last few months. Eddie says he plans to be a champion that everyone can be proud of. He says that the only thing harder than becoming champion is staying champion, and says that there have only been a few title defenses this year and the last title defense was five months ago. Eddie says this will change, and that he will defend the title each and every week against anybody deserving of a shot, then says he is proof that anything is possible. He says that he will bring credibility and stability to the title, then Eric Young shows up. Eddie tells Eric that the only thing he deserves is a good old-fashioned ass kicking, but Eric calls Eddie pathetic and says he has no sway or power in the fate of the World Championship going forward, as Impact Wrestling belongs to him. He also tells Eddie that he should be thanking him for targeting Rich Swann and not him, as those who stand in between him and what he deserves will get broken. Eric says that none of Eddie's hard work matters, and that they are talking about the World Championship mattering only because he made it so. Eddie dives into Eric Young and attacks him, and referees have to break up the brawl.
