Final Impact - GFW Impact Wrestling recap for October 19, 2017

In footage from earlier today, "The American Psycho" Stephan Bonnar and Moose show up at the arena with all those titles from America's Top Team, who are also seen entering the arena.

Johnny Impact beats Chris Adonis. After the match, Eli Drake runs in, and Johnny Impact rips his pants off before hitting him with his leather belt. Adonis hits Johnny from behind, then Eli Drake chokes Johnny with his shirt. Suddenly, Garza Jr. runs in with a steel chair, chasing Eli Drake and Chris Adonis out of the ring.



The Pluto TV rewind of the week is Samoa Joe hitting Sting with a running drop kick on the steps in the crowd.



Texano Jr. beats "The Cowboy" James Storm, Eddie Edwards, Ethan Carter III and El Hijo Del Fantasma in a five-way dance after Texano Jr. dares Storm to attack El Hijo del Fantasma's father, El Fantasma - who is on commentary in this match - with a steel chair. Fantasma notices this and kicks the steel chair into Storm's face, but Texano Jr. takes advantage of the ensuing chaos to get the pinfall.



Meanwhile, in Tijuana, Mexico, oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) return. At the arena, Konnan finds out oVe has returned. Konnan wants oVe to put their tag team titles on the line tonight.



Back in Mexico, Eddie Edwards tells "The Cowboy" James Storm and Ethan Carter III that they have to be on the same page. Storm tells EC3 they will come back, and they will finish this.



Dan Lambert yells at Jim Cornette and Scott D'Amore in Cornette's office.



Dezmond Xavier beats Andrew Everett. During the match, it is announced that Taryn Terrell is out for Bound For Glory, and the Bound For Glory Knockouts title match is now a three-way match. (The next day, it is announced on Twitter that Taryn Terrell has left the company.)



Despite the distraction from Trevor Lee, Dezmond Xavier beats Andrew Everett.

Next week: Trevor Lee's X Division title defense in Tijuana, Mexico!



oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) look for Konnan backstage in Tijuana, Mexico. They are told they have to put the tag team titles on the line if they want to meet Konnan. They accept.



"The American Psycho" Stephan Bonnar and Moose check out America's Top Team's trophies and belts.

We see a video package of Grado becoming a member of Park, Park and Park only to find out he has been cheated.

Grado shows up, and immediately calls out Joseph Park. Park shows up. Grado tells Park he will stand trial in the court of public opinion, and he will be judge, the crowd will be jury, and he will be executioner. Grado tells Park he stole his money, took advantage of his good nature, and embarrassed him in front of everyone. He had him work all over the world for little money and treated him like dung. Park tries to joke his way out. It doesn't work. Park admits that he could not resist the temptation, but tells him if it weren't for him, he would not be here. Park reveals that he owns his visa, and Grado says if he were any kind of man, he would hand the visa back. Park teases Grado with the visa, and says he has a better idea: a match for Bound For Glory. If Grado beats him, he gets to stay. If Grado loses, he's gone forever. Grado accepts the challenge and signs without hesitation. Grado also signs without hesitation, and tells Park he will kick his ass before he and the fans go for the American Dream. Park stops him. Grado did not read the fine print, and he learns that the match at Bound For Glory is a Monster's Ball Match, and it is going to be Abyss.



We see a video package of what has been going on between Lashley and Moose as of late.



Lashley and America's Top Team are seen backstage.

Grado wonders what he has done as he leaves. He tries to calm down by listening to the radio. Suddenly, Father James Mitchell is in his car. Mitchell warns him that he and Abyss will send him straight to Hell and that Bound For Glory will be doomsday, and Grado runs out of his car.



oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) retain the GFW World Tag Team Championships against Black Diamond and Black Danger at The Crash in Tijuana, Mexico.



Jeremy Borash is in the ring. He is announcing Bound For Glory when America's Top Team shows up, takes the microphone away and shoves Jeremy Borash out of the ring. Dan Lambert says that they came down here as a favor to Jeff Jarrett, and that he has sat back for years and waste his MMA potential while working for Impact. He did this out of respect for professional wrestling, but he finds it ironic as he is the biggest professional wrestling fan in the building and has been so for 40 years. He was introduced to MMA by Japanese professional wrestling promotions Pancrase and UWF. He also finds it ironic that professional wrestling is why he is running America's Top Team, and that he is being looked at as the "anti pro-wrestling guy" and the bad guy when he has more knowledge of pro wrestling than anyone else in the entire arena. He claims to have the best and largest collection of professional wrestling memorabilia, and even though none of the fans in the crowd deserves to look at it, he is willing to make an exception. He also claims to have in his possession Bruno Sammartino's WWWF Championship belt, which he pulls out of his bag. He also pulls out a NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling Tag Team Championship belt that was held by Road Warrior Hawk of The Road Warriors (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk). He then pulls out one-half of the Jim Crockett Promotions Tag Team Championships, which was the first title ever held by "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, and verbally rips a fan as he says that his partner was Rip Hawk. He then mentions Jeff Jarrett and how Jarrett's family has been in the wrestling business for five decades, and how one of those decades featured Jerry "The King" Lawler defeating Curt Hennig for the American Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Championship. He then pulls it out of his bag as well. He then says that the saddest irony out of this is that he now controls the biggest team in MMA in the world today, and yet professional wrestling came into their home and disrespected everything everything they know, every fighter they have trained, and every title they have won. Now, he is here to say they not only poked the bear, they shoved a red hot poker up the bear's ass. Now the bear is angry and is coming to the Impact Zone in the form of Bobby Lashley and King Mo, who will do everything in their power to take back the respect Moose and "The American Psycho" Stephan Bonnar ripped from them last week. He will ask them - again, ironically - to destroy wrestling, which he loves - and expose it as a bunch of wanna-be tough guys who have no idea what it is like to be in a real fight and bottom-feed in the world of the combat sports arena. He then challenges Bonnar and Mosoe to a match at Bound For Glory to a fight - not a wrestling match, but a fight - against Lashley and King Mo that he claims professional wrestling cannot win and will spell the end for Impact Wrestling. Moose and Stephan Bonner show up with some of the titles they stole last week, but they are attacked from behind by Lashley, and the rest of America's Top Team follows. Lambert mocks the fans as Moose and Bonnar both get Speared by Lashley. America's Top Team then hold referees and security at bay, and members of the Impact locker room run into the ring but fare no better.





At Tijuana, Mexico, oVe (Dave and Jake Crist) meet up with Konnan. After they demand their pay, The Crash's locker room surrounds the ring. oVe puts up a fight, but it is not long before the numbers game catches up. Konan tells them he will see them at Bound For Glory.



We see a teaser for Episode 5 of "Global Forged."

We see a video package for Rosemary vs. Taka Valkyrie recapping the events leading up to the match.

Taya Valkyrie beats Rosemary. After the match, Taya tries to put Rosemary in the Road to Valhalla, but Rosemary spits red mist in her face and tells Taya that they have a knack for making each other see red and that at Bound For Glory, she will paint the Impact Zone wit her blood. Taya crawls out of the ring and to the back.

Global Force Wrestling arrives in Japan with Pro Wrestling Noah.



The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz, Diamante) show up. Konnan announces that LAX is exercising their rematch clause for the tag team titles at Bound For Glory. Santana wants whatever kind of match it takes to get oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) to accept their challenge. oVe shows up, and tells them to name the match and they've got it. Konnan proposes a 5150 Street Fight. oVe tells them they've got it. Konnan asks if they know what that even means, but they do not care. Konnan says LAX will send them back to the Ohio trailer park that they came from, and Diamante tells them that "5150" means they're fighting all of LAX, not just Santana and Ortiz. She slaps one of the Crist brothers, starting a brawl where oVe is taken out.

After the match, Rosemary says nothing excites her like finding an opponent worthy of her brand of violence and destruction. She asks Taya Valkyrie to join her in the ring and accept a dance with the demon. Taya Valkyrie shows up, stands with Rosemary for a few seconds, then spits red mist into her face before Rosemary can do the same to her. She then hits Rosemary with Road To Valhalla.



We see a video recap of Moose on the hunt for Lashley. We then see Moose on the phone, telling someone he will see him at America's Top Team's facility.



Taryn Terrell shows up. Now that she has a title shot at Bound For Glory, she decides to focus on Gail Kim. She does not even know why people are fans of her or why people cheer for her, or why her husband Robert is even married to her. She then says that everyone will see how pathetic Gail Kim is to the point that Robert and Gail Kim will be on Divorce Court. Gail Kim shows up, and says she is only here to talk to Taryn. She says her mind games and "psychological babble BS" does not work on her, and she also belives in karma and that karma will slap her in the face before she does. She then slaps her anyway before beating the crap out of her.





Sienna tells Mackenzie Mitchell she is here to prove she is the greatest Knockouts champ of all time, and how better to prove that than by beating up Allie. Texano Jr. says that AAA is the most important company in the world, and that "The Cowboy" James Storm that he is the only cowboy around here. Caleb Konley says he is taking over for Trevor Lee in his match, and that he is going to show what North Carolina is all about.

Bakstage, Taya Valkyrie says she isn't the only one who is unpredictable and that she has secrets of her own when asked where she got her red mist.



Jim Cornette announces that next week, Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie will go one-on-one in the ring.

Grado walks his way to the arena, while Joseph Park shows up in an expensive sports car with beautiful women. Joseph Park says the women are "interns," and one of them calls Grado a "meal ticket."



We see the stars of Global Force Wrestling talk about Bound For Glory.



Global Wrestling Network is now available, with a $7.99 premium membership giving you additional ad-free access.

We see Episode 5 of "Global Forged."



At the clubhouse, the Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz, Diamante) are playing dominoes and brag about the beating they gave oVe (Jake and Dave Crist). Konnan says that oVe are in over their heads and that Homicide will be returning at Bound For Glory.



We see Moose on the phone, telling someone he will see him at America's Top Team's facility. This time, it is at night. Moose returns to America's Top Team's facilities, and this time, he has an ally in "The American Psycho" Stephan Bonnar. Both men carry metal pipes to the facility.

Final Impact - GFW Impact Wrestling for October 5, 2017

In Memoriam of Lance Russell, 1926 - 2017. Pray For Vegas.

Eli Drake and Chris Adonis show up to start tonight's show. Eli Drake says it's a celebration tonight, for last week, he got in his car, drove down Victory Road, and made it to Slamtown. He then turned it into a parking lot, built his palace on it and built Eli's Cakes. He says that Johnny Impact will not be here tonight, as he is finding another place to get a check and hone his craft. He says he will never come back, as Johnny begged for mercy as he took him on the Gravy Train. Eli Drake goes on to say the Global title is going nowhere, as Jim Cornette has done all he can to take it from him and failed. He says that Cornette is sending him to Japan to find someone who will take the title off of him, but his reign isn't ending. He says that anybody who takes him on doesn't have what it takes to do so. Eli Drake then says he has the night off, so tonight is a celebration. He asks all the attractive women to meet him at the Doubletree. In the meantime, he has set Chris Adonis up with a match tonight, saying he will run over his competition like he does everywhere else. That match is against Garza Jr. Eli Drake then guests on commentary for the match.



Chris Adonis beats Garza Jr. by disqualification. During the match, it is revealed that Johnny Impact is backstage in the building. Eli Drake leaves for backstage as Adonis goes for an Adonis Lock on Garza Jr., which Garza Jr. escapes from. Johnny Impact makes it to the ring and beats up Adonis, and swings at Garza Jr. when he tries to pick Johnny up. Referees and security run into the ring in an attempt to restore order, then Jim Cornette shows up and says that if Johnny Impact and Garza Jr. want to fight each other, then they should at least wait until they are getting paid to do it. He puts them in a match for next week, then tells Eli Drake that there will be no free ride for him this time as the winner of that match will face him for the GFW Global Championship at Bound For Glory. He then says he does not know how long Eli Drake plans to hold on to the Global title, but the countdown clock to Bound For Glory is ticking. Afterwards, Johnny Impact and Garza Jr. start fighting each other again as referees and security try to quell the second wave of aggression.





We see a video package concerning what has been going on with Moose and Lashley lately. Moose says he will find Lashley and make him finish what they started as he is at America's Top Team's facilities.



oVe (Dave and Jake Crist) says that being tag team champs is amazing, and that nobody can sleep on them any longer. Meanwhile, at the Latin-American Xchange, Konnan chews out Santana and Ortiz for losing the titles and the winner's purse. Konnan says that the competition wants dissension among them, and says they need to figure something out. Santana flips out. Ortiz tells him he is getting angry at the wrong people.





oVe (Dave and Jake Crist) beat Tre Miguel and John Bolin.



Sienna and KM show up. Sienna says Bound For Glory is fast approaching, but she does not have a match. She says that if GFW wants her to keep wrestling, she will eventually have to wrestle men as she has dominated the Knockouts Division. Sienna then says she knows what GFW is planning and that she is flattered, and that she is being inducted into the GFW Hall of Fame. Sienna says she will have to retire as champion at this point - something Gail Kim has yet to do. Suddenly, Gail Kim shows up. Gail Kim says she has fought long and hard for the Knockouts Division, and says Sienna would not have beat her without Taryn Terrell. Gail Kim wants a rematch for the GFW Knockouts Championship at Bound For Glory. Suddenly, Taryn shows up. Taryn says it's time for a history lesson. She says she is the longest reigning Knockouts Champion ever - longer than either Sienna or Gail Kim. Taryn says Gail Kim should be worrying about beating her. Suddenly, Allie shows up. Allie says Sienna may be Knockouts Champion and Taryn may be the longest-reigning champion ever, and Gail Kim is a Hall of Famer, but she is Allie. She has worked hard, and wants a title shot, too. Karen Jarrett shows up. She says nobody will be honoring Sienna in the Hall of Fame at Bound For Glory. Also, Sienna will be defending the Knockouts title against Gail Kim, Taryn Terrell and Allie at Bound For Glory.









Joseph Park and Grado are at Grado's first VIP photo shoot. After all is said and done, Grado gets $20.



Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams and Matt Sydal beat Trevor Lee, Andrew Everett and Caleb Konley. After the match, Dutt calls out Trevor Lee, and challenges him for the X Division Championship at Bound For Glory. Suddenly, Petey Williams says Trevor Lee is his. Sydal says he also wants the title and will fight Dutt and Williams if he has to.



We see Episode 4 of Global Forged.



Sonjay Dutt, Petey Williams and Matt Sydal are arguing in Jim Cornette's office over who gets Trevor Lee. A frustrated Cornette quickly walks out of the office, unbeknwonst to Dutt and Sydal.

Laurel Van Ness is now on an electric scooter. She kisses a man in the crowd.



Moose is at America's Top Team's facilities. Moose finds Lashley, but it isn't long before Moose gets ganged up on and tossed out.



El Texano Jr. and El Hijo del Fantasma beat "The Cowboy" James Storm and Ethan Carter III after Pagano, who shows up in the middle of the match, grabs at Storm's leg during a vertical suplex and holds on to it, pinning him under El Hijo del Fantasma.



Konnan tells the Latin-American Xchange they have a solution to their oVe (Dave and Jake Crist) problem: the 5150 Street Fight. Konnan tells Santana and Ortiz to take oVe to school.

Final Impact - GFW Impact Wrestling recap for September 21, 2017

In Memoriam, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, 1944 - 2017.

Johnny Impact is seen looking for Eli Drake backstage before he heads into the Impact Zone. Johnny calls out Eli, wanting his title shot right here, right now, (even though Eli Drake is in Mexico) and says he will not leave until Eli Drake shows up. KM shows up instead, dragging a referee to the ring. He tells Johnny has a better idea: wishing in one hand and crapping in the other to see what happens first. He tells Johnny that Eli Drake is still in Mexico, but Johnny says he has seen his car in the parking lot, and accuses Eli Drake of being scared of him and pissing his pants instead of getting in the ring. KM says the fans suck, and the fans tell him he sucks right back. KM asks if Johnny is calling him a liar, and Johnny says yes and that a kid in the front row is also calling him "a doucherocket." KM tells Johnny to put his #1 contendership for the GFW Global Championship on the line. Johnny asks the fans if they want to see it. When the fans say they want it, Johnny starts the match with a superkick.



Johnny Impact beats KM to stay #1 contender for the GFW Global Championship.



Pagano is seen backstage telling someone "you know what to do" before meeting up with El Hijo del Fantasma.



Taya Valkyrie quickly beats Ava Storie. After the match, Taya says lucha royalty has arrived. She introduces herself, and says she is here for one reason: to become Knockouts Champion. She gives Karen Jarrett a little advice: don't waste her time. Suddenly, Rosemary shows up. She says the hive finds it funny that Taya deserves a title shot before she does. She says if anybody deserves a title shot, "it's us." Taya shoves her, and Rosemary shoves right back before the takedown. Sienna runs in and throws Taya off Rosemary before throwing some right of her own. She and Taya then fight over Rosemary, until Rosemary shoves Sienna into Taya only for the numbers game to catch up. Suddenly, Allie runs in and evens the odds. Taryn Terrell then gets in the ring and jumps Allie, and Allie and Rosemary are on the losing end. Gail Kim runs in and takes out Tara, Taryn and Sienna. Allie tosses Taryn out, and Rosemary is saved.







Meanwhile, in Mexico, oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) finds out where The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Homicide, Santana, Ortiz, Diamante) hangs out, and go in. They pass by Homicide, who lets Konnan know they're coming in.



oVe (Jake and Dave Crist) enter the strip club and wait for The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Homicide, Santana, Ortiz, Diamante), who show up. Both sides agree to have a match for the GFW Tag Team Championships next week at Victory Road.



We see Episode 2 of "Global Forged."



Allie says nobody messes with her friends. Gail Kim says they could have put Sienna, Taya Valkyrie and Taryn Terrell on stretchers. Rosemary says they can, and that they will have so many toys to play with next week.



We see Petey Williams talk about last week's X Division Championship match, the X Division, and his desire to win the title again.



Bound For Glory is live, Sunday, November 5th on pay-per-view!



We see Grado's first gig on the job as a client of Park, Park and Park's sports entertainment division.



El Hijo del Fantasma and Pagano beat Ethan Carter III and Eddie Edwards after Eddie is powerbombed by AAA wrestler Texano Jr. After the match, El Hijo del Fantasma, Pagano and Texano Jr. take the boots - and the bullrope - to EC3 and Eddie until "The Cowboy" James Storm shows up and fends all three men off. Storm then stares down EC3.



Johnny Impact looks for Eli Drake. He learns that Eli is in Mexico and that El Hijo del Fantasma can speak English. Texano Jr. confronts Johnny Mundo, and says he does not like him at all. Johnny then says Eli is not here, but Texano Jr. is, and puts his #1 contendership for the GFW Global Championship on the line again tonight, this time against Texano Jr. Texano Jr. accepts the challenge.



Kongo Kong beats Mahabali Shera.



We see footage of Eli Drake in Mexico, saying Johnny Impact "ran away from home" when he came to AAA and that he will show the people of Mexico what a true champion looks like.



We hear from Moose, who says he never needed someone in his corner like Lashley has, and that he does not know what America's Top Team is doing, but says that they had better not get in his way. He calls Lashley a coward, and he hopes to drag him into the ring so he can finish what they started.



Johnny Impact beats Texano to retain his #1 contendership for the GFW Global Championship.



Laurel Van Ness - with lipstick smeared all over her mouth - is seen in the stands, looking for a husband.

Sienna, Taryn Terrell and Tara Valkyrie meet with Karen Jarrett, wanting a match against Gail Kim, Allie and Rosemary.

Final Impact - GFW Impact Wrestling recap for September 7, 2017

We see footage from earlier today where Eli Drake, Chris Adonis and Matt Sydal enter the building.

Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt beat Caleb Konley and Trevor Lee.



The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) beat John Bolin and Zachary Wentz. oVe (Dave and Jake Crist) are seen watching from backstage as LAX dominates. After the match, oVe shows up. 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. After the match, Taryn Terrell and Sienna attack Gail Kim and Sienna, then Rosemary runs in and fights them both only for the numbers game to catch up. Suddenly, the moment is broken by the debuting Taya Valkyrie (also known as just Taya in Lucha Underground), who steps in the ring and stares down Sienna before attacking Rosemary and hitting her with a Widow's Peak.







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



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.



A red-in-the-face Cornette makes Johnny Impact vs. Low Ki to decide a new #1 contender for the GFW Global Championship official for next week. He hopes they beat each other to death.



At the behest of Joseph Park, Grado tells Laurel Van Ness the wedding is off. Van Ness snaps after Grado leaves.

We see a mini-video documentary of GFW at AAA's TripleMania XXV, where we see and hear about the experiences of the GFW talent and staff as they spend time in Mexico. The incident between Sexy Star and Rosemary is briefly discussed.















We learn more about Dezmond Xavier.



AAA's Pagano is coming soon to GFW.

It is announced that Eddie Edwards is the first American-born wrestler to win Pro Wrestling Noah's GHC Heavyweight Championship.



We learn more about Garza Jr.



"The Stand-by Wrestler" Richard Justice is still backstage, even if Kongo Kong has caused him to be in serious pain. He tells Mackenzie Mitchell "Never take yourself out of the game, because you might not be able to get back in."



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!

Final Impact - GFW Impact Wrestling recap for August 10, 2017

The show starts with a brawl between the team of Santana and Ortiz of The Latin-American Xchange and The Veterans of War (Mayweather and Wilcox) outside of the building.

Sienna is seated in the center of the ring. She calls herself the epitomy of a true champion, and says she has destroyed every obstacle Karen Jarrett has thrown at her. She says she will sit in the ring until she finds out who her opponent for her Knockouts title defense next week is. Karen shows up and says she never liked her and never will. Karen goes on to call Sienna the kind of woman other women hate. Sienna skips the formalities and wants to know who would be ready for her in a week, but Karen tells her that her opponent next week is always ready, and it happens to be Gail Kim. Gail says she sees Sienna running her mouth, and tells her she was only great six weeks ago. After Gail makes it clear she will retire as champion, Sienna strikes at Gail from behind, and this starts a brawl that referees have to stop.







Joseph Park tells Grado it's time to buck up in their handicap match tonight.



It is announced that LAX versus Veterans of War for the tag team titles is now a Street Fight.

El Hijo del Fantasma and Naomichi Marufuji beat Laredo Kid and Garza Jr.



oVe! - Ohio Versus Everything! - shows up next week.



Kongo Kong beats Joseph Park and Grado in a handicap match. After the match, Kongo Kong attacks both men again, and is about to hit them both with a top rope splash when Laurel Van Ness shows up, tells him to stop and slaps him. Kong is about to slam Laurel Van Ness into the mat when Tyrus shows up and stands face-to-face with Kong until Van Ness tells Kong to get out of the ring.



Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Trevor Lee, Low-Ki and Lashley. Trevor Lee says he will show Sonjay Dutt who the real champion is. Low-Ki tells Alberto El Patron he had an opportunity, but wasted it and paid the price. He says he will show him that he can be beaten. Lashley tells Matt Sydal he is in the ring tonight with some heavy hitters, and tells him he has been warned. He then tells Lee and Low-Ki they are associates, not partners.



We hear from Sonjay Dutt and Trevor Lee before their match at Destination X next week.



We hear from Jeff Jarrett concerning America's Top Team.



Dutch Mantell interviews Matt Sydal and Lashley for "Down and Dirty with Dutch." Lashley says he did not disrespect anybody, he merely reacted. He considers himself a "top 3 wrestler." Sydal says he has never put himself in one particular category, and does not rate himself as an X Division wrestler. Sydal says that just like Lashley, his resume speaks for himself, as he has faced giants. He rates himself within the top 3. Lashley and Sydal argue. Lashley says he will beat Sydal within an inch of life. Sydal says he comes in peace, but also to win. Lashley says he is tired of people stepping up, and if Sydal has a problem with him, he should step up. This leads to a near-brawl.



It is announced that Bruce Prichard will make an announcement that will affect Impact Wrestling next week. This is following footage of a private conversation from Prichard and Karen Jarrett from last week.
