We hear from The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose, JDC). Eddie says everyone was praying for them to fail, but they got a "System reboot," and Myers says everyone saw what the reboot was all about. He says that they will annihilate The Hardys on their way to Victory Road. JDC says they are hungry and that they will forget their manners. Moose says that Alisha will still be queen of the Knockouts, JDC will still be a loose cannon, Myers will become a three-time tag team champion, Eddie will continue to be a legend, and he will be a four-time World Champion.

Backstage, Steve Maclin says that Eric Young showed him respect at Emergence, then Eric Young shows up. Maclin thanks Eric Young for having his back, then Eric Young says respect is a two-way street and that they will show Hammerstone and Jake Something that it is about the size of the fight in the dog at Victory Road.

We see another vignette of the female wrestler, formerly known as Xia Li in WWE.

Matt Cardona heads to the ring, and demands that Steph de Lander head to the ring with him. Cardona takes the microphone from Steph before she can say much, then says it is obvious that Director of Authority Santino Marella has it out for him, as he has come back from a life-threatening injury only to be in a tag match with Rhino and PCO on his first match back. He says this is an unsafe working environment, then says he can pick his own tag team partner. He then introduces his tag team partner for Victory Road as none other than Steph de Lander. Cardona insists that Steph does not commit any funny business, because if she does not do as he says, he will send her back to Australia. Suddenly, PCO shows up and heads to the ring. Steph kicks Cardona in the groin, then PCO hits Cardona with a choke slam before hugging Steph.

Backstage, Spitfire (Jody Threat and Dani Luna) is met by Gia Miller.

Joe Hendry heads to the ring. Joe Hendry wants to know if Josh Alexander lives by the mantra of "Say his name and he appears," then calls him out for what he did to him. Alexander shows up in the upper seats, saying it is for Hendry's safety, and tells him to go ahead and play what funny video he has of him. We then see a music video where Joe Hendry makes fun of Josh Alexander and the fact that he never smiles before calling him "Kurt Angle from Wish." An angry Alexander says he has nothing to smile about and that he should be the one in NXT snapping ankles and dropping people on his heads while , but they picked the one guy who can't back it up when the bell rings. He then says he traveled the world for two decade and did everything the right way only for Joe Hendry to steal his thunder and take opportunities from him with a few videos that went viral. He then says that if Hendry wants to see him smile, he will not be able to see it after he destroys him at Victory Road and the fans start chanting for him again. Hendry, seeing that Alexander is frustrated, notes that he saw a sign earlier saying "Walking Weiner." This starts a "Walking Weiner" chant. Alexander tells Hendry he has dug his own grave a little bit deeper and that he will end him at Victory Road once and for all so the fans can see what a real professional wrestler looks like. Hendry says he has also traveled the world and made believers out of people, and says that Alexander sounds like all of his critics. He also says the fans will chant that they believe even louder when he beats Alexander at Victory Road.

Backstage, Jordynne Grace meets with Arianna Grace, saying that she and Karmen Petrovic are welcome here, but Wendy Choo is not. Arianna says Wendy is not in the building and promises that nothing will happen to Jordynne at Victory Road, but Jordynne is skeptical, saying that promises mean something in TNA as opposed to NXT.

We hear from Mike Santana, who says that everybody knows where he has been and what he has done and that his sights are set on the World Championship and Victory Road. He says "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth has taken the World Championship all over the world, but he hopes that Moose wins the world title, as it will be another thing that he takes from Moose along with his pride and dignity when he makes him suffer.

Before the next match, personal concierge George Iceman makes fun of the fans for being fat and toothless before telling them that they will be witnessing history and introducing Ash By Elegance.

Ash By Elegance beats Xia Brookside after personal concierge gets on the ring apron to beg Brookside off. This allows Brookside to avoid another Meteora to the back of the neck, and also allows Heather Reckless to suddenly show up and pull Brookside by the arm to ram her shoulder into the ring post, giving Ash the win.

We hear from "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth, who says that Moose had his chance to look him in the eye and blew it when he took to social media to complain. He says words do not hurt him, but they seem to hurt Moose, and that he has been in the ring with Moose's heroes and that there is only one way to go at Victory Road: him kicking Moose in the face as hard as he can. He says Moose was the best, but now he is the rest, and he is the one getting the victory while Moose just gets the road.

Backstage, Ash By Elegance checks herself in the mirror when she finds out Heather Reckless is behind her. Personal concierge George Iceman likes Heather's attitude, but not her wardrobe, and Ash finds Heather's actions interesting.

Santino tells Cardona that he has just stooged himself off and that he will prosecute him and have him sent to jail unless he signs a contract for a match against PCO in Tampa, Florida.

This leads to Mike Santana vs. Moose still being on.

Moose beats Mike Santana. After the match, Joe Hendry shows up with a metal folding chair and chases The System out of the ring.

Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling LIVE recap for July 6, 2023

Dirty Dango beats Crazzy Steve in the BTI match following a thumb to the eye. After the match, Dango says that even when he wins, he still hates professional wrestling, and that something he will love is putting an end to "that stupid puppet show" Director of Authority Santino Marella next month in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He says Santino should be ashamed of himself for putting on a puppet show, then Santino shows up and tells Dirty Dango that he has had enough of him and that he will give him the beating of a lifetime after what he said about his family. Santino goes on to call Dango a "son of a bitch," and as he tells Dango what he will do to him, Dango is hit from behind with a Wake-Up Call by Heath.

Eddie Edwards beats Frankie Kazarian. During the match, Alisha Edwards distracts the referee, and Eddie rams Kazarian - who has him in the crossface chickenwing - right into the back of the ref in the corner. As the ref is down, Alisha hits Kazarian in the back with a Kendo stick as he goes for the Flux Capacitor. Eddie then hits the Boston Knee Party for the win.

We hear from Chris Sabin, who says that if Lio Rush wants to jump the line to face him for the X Division Championship, then he will give him what he wants at Slammiversary so he can get his ass whipped by the greatest X Division Championship of all time.

Gia Miller interviews Lio Rush. Lio Rush says he is not here to make friends, and he does not care if people do not like what he did last week. As he says he is here for the X Division Championship, "The National Treasure" Nick Aldis confronts Lio Rush for getting in his business, saying that he is here to make history - not friends - and that their championship aspirations are the only thing he has in common. He says that the two of them have to get the win tonight and go their separate ways before telling him not to let his ego or any momentum he has get in either his way or his own way.

Backstage, Frankie Kazarian congratulates Eddie Edwards on winning tonight by any costs before saying that it is not how Killer Kowalski trained either of them. He then says they have won one match each and proposes a rubber match at Slammiversary, and says that she will bring his wife Traci Brooks ringside to even the odds.

Rich Swann and Sami Callihan beat Champagne Singh and Shera.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Moose and Brian Myers. Myers says he and Moose are the best team in IMPACT and that they are focused and ready for Slammiversary, and Moose says Rich Swann and Sami Callihan may have had reps, but they do not have the real competition that they will give them at Slammiversary. Moose says he has something to prove, and while Rich Swann beat him, they will beat Rich Swann and Sami Callihan.

We hear from Dirty Dango. He says that he hadn't watched pro wrestling since "it was cool" in 1998, and when he got into the business, he was let down by how much it had changed. He says that the nearby concrete buckling is more fun than getting in the ring with someone who is nervous and will injure him, and tells the IMPACT roster to go back to school. He calls Director of Authority Santino Marella "a one-hit wonder" who is still living in 2005 and is the wrestling equivalent of "Yoko Ono performing in concert and yodeling the whole time." He also calls Heath, who he will face next week, as "another hanger-on" who will never get the jump on him again before telling him he should find work at Home Depot, and says the last thing Heath should be doing is becoming the next Santino Marella.

Jonathan Gresham beats Angels with the Octopus. After the match, Deaner tells Angels to leave the ring when Gresham offers to shake Angels' hand. Deaner gets in the ring and confronts Angels, but as he points at him, Angels grabs his hand and repeats his point before shaking Gresham's hands and walking away while an angry Deaner yells at Kon.

We hear from ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey). Austin says Slammiversary is on the horizon and that they have the match to look before, and while the deck is stacked against them, it is nothing they cannot handle, and Bey says they will do the courtesy of teaching Moose and Brian Myers the alphabet. Suddenly, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) show up wanting a shot at the tag team titles, but Bey tells them that while they have won tag team gold elsewhere, they have never won it in IMPACT, and that they need to go to the back of the line. Zachary proposes a match between himself and Bey where if he wins, The Rascalz get a shot at the tag team titles. Bey likes the idea and accepts the challenge.

Backstage, PCO is seen playing with live jumper cables while Scott D'Amore enjoys what is going on.

We see a recap of the sights and sounds of Wagga Wagga, Australia from IMPACT Wrestling's recent Australian show as well as scenes from a meeting at Indie School, an alternate school for those with mental health and traumatic issues.

Backstage, Trinity meets with "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo to thank her for having her back last week, but questions the speed at which he helped her out. Trinity says she does not need anyone's help, and Deonna says she does not need anybody's help, either. She proposes that they prove that next week when she issues a championship open challenge so she does not forget that. Trinity says she will not forget if Deonna educates herself before Slammiversary.

Before the next match, John Skyler says picked a fight with Scott D'Amore, who has taken a leave of absence from IMPACT Wrestling, only to have a fight with PCO, who has taken a leave of absence from reality. He says that monsters are usually scary, but after looking at the crowd, he cannot tell between PCO and "the mutants out here in Georgia" before stating that PCO will be the monster who is slain by "these good hands."

PCO beats The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) in a two-on-one handicap match. After the match, Jason Hotch confronts Scott D'Amore, and when he pokes D'Amore in the chest, D'Amore takes his glasses and watch off. Hotch slaps D'Amore, but D'Amore fights back and hits him with the Sky High. Before he can hit Hotch with a Canadian Destroyer, Bully Ray shows up, and Steve Maclin shows up from behind and hits PCO with a low blow before smacking D'Amore with a chair. Bully Ray gets in the ring and hits both PCO and D'Amore with the chair before Maclin handcuffs D'Amore to the top rope. Maclin instructs Hotch to get a table out from underneath the ring, and a handcuff D'Amore spits at Maclin before Bully Ray throws D'Amore's watch at him. D'Amore can only watch as Buly Ray and Maclin put PCO through the table. Bully Ray then teases hitting D'Amore with a chair before he and Maclin throw PCO down an exit ramp leading backstage. D'Amore then throws a chair at Bully, and Bully Ray and Maclin briefly surround the ring before leaving and attacking PCO backstage. Bully chokes PCO with the chair before Maclin pours battery acid into PCO's mouth. Bully Ray then pours two bottles' worth of lighter fluid before lighting him up with a match. A flaming PCO gets up and stumbles a few feet before falling onto the cameraperson.

Backstage, Kenny King and Sheldon Jean are constantly reminded of the "Stripper Kenny" video from last week. Joe Hendry shows up, and Kenny King tells Hendry that he made his life hell after last week and that he will make his life rough. Sheldon Jean says he cannotb elieve anything that comes out of Hendry's mouth and that he and Kenny always back up what they say, and that Hendry has nobody in his corner. Hendry suddenly summons Yuya Uemura, and Kenny and Sheldon leave. Hendry asks Uemura what the Japanese word for "champion" is, to which Uemura answers "Champion."

Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling recap for June 15, 2023

Champagne Singh and Shera beat Laredo Kid and Jack Price. After the match, Heath hits Singh from behind with a Wake-Up Call and does the same to Shera.

The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) head to the ring to start tonight's show. Sabin talks about how he had a dream where the two of them ran against all odds and walked away with gold, but instead of tag team gold, it was singles gold when he became the first nine-time X Division Champion while Shelley became World Champion after more than twenty years. He then realized that it was not a dream, but instead a dream come true. Shelley then says "Yup." Shelley admits he ugly cried because for twenty years, he had a feeling of inadequacy and that he was not good enough, but after winning the World title, he was. He says that he made wrestling a better place and has had a Meidas Touch with some of the people he influenced. Shelley says he had to draw a line in the sand and say it was his turn, and now he has to prove it to himself. He says he is World Champion not just because of everyone has worked with, but because of the fans, and that this is a new era and champion in IMPACT. Suddenly, Nick Aldis shows up, then says he called his shot and did what he said he would do just like the Machine Guns did, and that he stayed away backstage because he did not want to ruin his moment. Aldis says that he is proud of Shelley and that he deserves this moment, and says this means a lot to him on a personal level because Shelley reached out his hand and pulled him up when he came to America. He then tells Shelley that he is not looking at the same man, as he kept climbing when he was pulled up, and now that they are equals, the fans will have a champion to be proud of at Slammiversary. Aldis then says he will do everything in his power to make sure it is him. Trey Miguel shows up and belches into the mic, saying he is gassed from all the smoke that everyone is blowing up themselves. After stomping his water bottle on the ramp and saying this is why janitors get paid, he takes offense to not being mentioned earlier. After Trey asks where his respect is, Sabin tells him to shut up after whining about not getting the respect he deserves and that he has to earn it, and that he would have earned it if he said everything to his face in the ring. Trey says "No," then Kenny King and Sheldon Jean show up. Kenny says the only person he hears speaking the truth is Trey and that they had to claw and inch their way to everything in IMPACT unlike Nick Aldis and the Machine Guns. He also calls it a disgrace that Aldis and the Machine Guns for trying to getting Trey into a 3-on-1 situation, then Sabin proposes a six-man tag match. As Kenny, Trey and Sheldon head to the ring, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw, Jai Vidal and Savannah Evans show up. Gisele says that what Kenny said rings true and that the spotlight should be heard, but when Trinity showed up in IMPACT, they rolled out the red carpet for her just like with Aldis and the Machine Guns. She asks if any of them deserve what they have, and Shelley says "Yup," then Shelley says he and Sabin had to install the carpet before mentioning that Gisele's problem is with Trinity, not them. "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo shows up and announces that as of today, she has surpassed 500 days as champion in IMPACT, and if people are getting knocked out, she should be involved as she is Knockouts World Champion. Trinity says "Until Slammivesary," then Aldis says some things will change come that day before Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up. Marella makes tonight's main event will be the Machine Guns, Aldis, Trinity and Deonna vs. Trey, Kenny, Sheldon, Savannah and Gisele in a ten-person tag match.

We hear from Steve Maclin, who says that it took him two years to become IMPACT World Champion only to lose it in a match that should never have happened. He then yells that he should still be World Champion.

We hear from The Design (Deaner, Angels, Kon). Deaner says The Design did not come to fruition, then asks who the blame should be put on before blaming it on Angels for not getting the job done the way he wanted it done. Angels says he joined for change and did everything Deaner told him to do only to get bossed around and to get a baseball bat to the face. He then says it is Deaner's fault and tells Deaner to get out of his face, but Deaner reminds him who brought him to IMPACT. Kon yells at them to stop and tells them that this is what Sami Callihan wanted, and that is destruction from in the inside out. He then says they should make IMPACT their territory.

Rich Swann beats Moose with a roll-up.

Backstage, Heath says that since he came to IMPACT, his journey has been nothing but a rollercoaster ride, and that he loves rollercoaster rides with being out for almost a year, Rhyno being in Violent By Design (Eric Young, Deaner, Joe Doering) and later injured by Honor No More, and winning and losing the tag team titles before Rhyno got hurt again. He says he has had to think about what is best for him, then says it is time to show everyone who he is and give anyone sleeping on him a Wake-Up Call.

Backstage, Moose is met by Brian Myers, who mentions Moose's recent losses and says that this would not have happened if they were still partners. Moose says he is not in the mood for a lecture, but Myers says he has not been doing well, either. He then proposes they team up again.

Bully Ray shows up with a piece of paper in his hand. He says that he is a victim of Scott D'Amore, atrocious management, unnecessary violence at D'Amore's hands and the system that is IMPACT Wrestling, as he was on his way to becoming #1 contender to the World Championship when D'Amore cost him that victory. Bully states that he wanted to represent his fans as World Champion, but D'Amore took that away from him and everyone, and states that everyone agrees when he says that he is the victim. He then reveals that the piece of paper is a copy of a letter he has sent to Anthem seeking justice, as he has been made uncomfortable in the workplace. Bully states that he has not received an answer yet and that his mental health is declining. As Bully Ray demands answers, Scott D'Amore shows up. D'Amore says he has seen a lot of things, but he never thought that Bully Ray would be "a stooging, whining bitch." Bully tells D'Amore he will not be talked to like that, but D'Amore says that if Bully is going to be a jerk, someone will be a jerk right back. As D'Amore says that he is holding on to a human resources complaint, Bully states that D'Amore's actions have cost him physical and mental harm. D'Amore states that he has had to stand in front of the Anthem Board of Directions, and that the board has stated that his actions were "unbecoming a President." A surprised Bully demands that D'Amore state that he was right while D'Amore was wrong. D'Amore then states that afterwards, the Anthem board dictated that he should take a leave of absence as President. Bully then calls this music to his ears, as D'Amore bosses screwed D'Amore like D'Amore screwed him. After Bully Ray demands that D'Amore get out of his ring and not let the door hit him on the way out, D'Amore states that there is one thing he could not do if he were still President before attacking Bully. Steve Maclin shows up and attacks D'Amore, then Bully and D'Amore gang up on him.Bully Ray screams at D'Amore for putting his hands on him, then Bully and Maclin attack him with chairs. As Bully puts one chair to D'Amore's neck and Maclin is about to smack Bully's chair with his own, the arena goes dark. Lightning strikes, and when the lights are back on, PCO is in the ring. Steve and Maclin attack PCO with the chairs, but PCO does not go down and punches a chair into Bully's face before levelling Maclin. D'Amore drop kicks Bully in the head, then declares that before taking his leave of absence, he made his first match in a while and puts Bully and Maclin in a tag team match against PCO and himself.

Backstage, Steve Maclin brings his frustrations with his inability to take PCO down to Bully Ray and that even the two of them cannot take PCO down. Bully Ray tells Maclin to act like a Marine, as PCO is just a man. Suddenly, Frankie Kazarian says PCO is the man who took them both down and that they have screwed around and will find out. As Maclin yells at Kazarian, Eddie and Alisha Edwards shows up and tells Maclin he has bigger things to deal with than Kazarian. Bully tells Eddie, Kazarian and Alisha that they will find out. When Kazarian aks Eddie why he stepped in, Eddie states that the only one who can mess with "a Kowalski guy" is another "Kowalski guy," and makes peace with Kazarian, much to Alisha's amazement.

ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) beat Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus). After the match, ABC come across The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley). Sabin says that the tag team division are well taken care of with ABC, and both teams shake hands. Bey states that ABC is proud of the Machine Guns for winning IMPACT's X Division and World titles.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Bhupinder Gujjar. We see a preview of the newest episode of "Diary" starring Bhupinder Gujjar airing next week, then Dirty Dango shows up and asks why anyone would watch a documentary about Gujjar when he sits there and waits to be a star. He says that he should be the one getting a documentary before Gujjar says he does not have one because he is "a bitter asshole" and leaves.

"The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazo, Trinity, Nick Aldis and The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) beat "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw, Savannah Evans, Sheldon Jean, Kenny King and Trey Miguel in a ten-person tag match. After the match, Nick Aldis decks Chris Shelley in the face with the Impact World Championship, and Chris Sabin chases Aldis out of the ring.

Maclin soon gets a chair, but KUSHIDA manages to fight him off and punch him in the face until security arrives to break up the brawl. When Maclin tries to get back in the ring, KUSHIDA knocks him off the apron with a backspring kick to the face.

Backstage, Jessicka Havok and Rosemary stop in front of a coffin. Rosemary tells Havok that the dark forces that kidnapped Taya Valkyrie would have been lying in wait for them if they went after them, then tries to go into the Undead Realm alone. When Rosemary opens the coffin, she finds out that their way to the Undead Realm is being blocked, and Havok says that The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) is responsible for this and that she will take care of Taylor Wilde tonight. Rosemary then says that she will need more time to plan.

Backstage, we hear from Eddie and Alisha Edwards. Alisha admits she was the harshest towards Eddie recently, and she was excited when Eddie put the past behind him only to find out that PCO was holding him back. As a result, she intervened. Eddie says that PCO keeps coming back and that it must come to an end, and it will come to an end at Rebellion.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says that the tandem of him and Dirty Dango is so inspiring that it will make everyone say "We believe," which Dango gets right this time.

Dirty Dango and Joe Hendry beat The Design (Callihan and Angels) after Callihan inadvertently hits Angels, starting ana rgument between Callihan and Deaner that allows Hendry to hit the Standing Ovation on Angels for the win.

We hear from Bully Ray, who says that nobody knew anything and that there is no leader in Team Bully (Bully Ray, Kenny King, Masha Slamovich, Jason Hotch, John Skyler, Moose, Brian Myers), and that they all have the same mission of defeating Team Dreamer (Tommy Dreamer, Frankie Kazarian, Yuya Uemura, Killer Kelly, Bhupinder Gujjar). He says he cannot think of anyone different that he would put on his team, and that his team is the team Tommy Dreamer should be worried about and losing sleep over every night. Bully then says that if Dreamer thought Sacrifice, what his team will do at Rebellion will be worse. He asks Dreamer why he buries himself and brings other people into this, and tells him that screwing with him will not get him anywhere.

We hear from Mickie James, who is alone in a now-darkened arena.

She says that she could not do this without the fans. Jordynne Grace and Deonna Purrazzo watch from backstage as Mickie James says there is always someone better waiting to knock one off their perch, and while it would have been an honor to be defeated, the one thing she cannot handle is time.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 9, 2023

Frankie Kazarian and Rich Swann beat Shera and Raj Singh in the BTI match.

Bully Ray shows up to start tonight's show. Bully Ray still takes offense to Tommy Dreamer saying "someone like you" at No Surrender, and asks the fans what they meant by "someone like [him]." He then says that all he knew is that he threw hot coffee into Dreamer's face, then addresses Dreamer's challenge to a Busted Open Match. He says he does not know what a Busted Open Match is, but it does not matter, as Dreamer will not make it to Sacrifice. He says that Dreamer suffered a burned retina and is issuing a fake challenge to look like a hero, as he knows that he will make it to Sacrifice and the doctors will not medically clear him and that match will never happen. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and inadvertently starts a "Bobby Ray" chant, much to Bully's chagrin, before stating that Dreamer will be at Sacrifice and making the Busted Open Match official. All of a sudden, Bhupinder Gujjar shows up and speaks to Bully in Hindi, and Santino assumes that Bhupinder has insulted Bully and challenged him to a match right now. Bully says he does not want a match, but Santino says "Too bad."

Bhupinder Gujjar beats Bully Ray by disqualification after Bully hits him with a low blow. After the match, Bully attacks Bhupinder with the steel chain. All of a sudden, Tommy Dreamer gets in the ring and punches Bully a few times, but Masha Slamovich slides into the ring and hits Dreamer with the low blow before he can hit the Death Valley Driver. As Bully Ray is about to hit Dreamer with a piledriver, Mickie James shows up with a Kendo stick and hits Bully in the back to no effect. Mickie avoids a big boot and attacks Masha with mounted punches, but Bully chokes her with the chain until Dreamer gets back up with a steel chair.

We see PCO in the desert with a shovel. He says that last time, Eddie Edwards tried to bury him here, but he is alive. He then calls Eddie Edwards out for a fight.

Backstage, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander meets with Rich Swann about Time Machine's (KUSHIDA, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley) challenge to a six-man tag match at Sacrifice. Swann tells Josh he has his back, then Steve Maclin shows up wanting to be the other partner, wanting to scout Alexander and also make sure he stays healthy for their Impact World Championship match. After Alexander says it is too late to scout him, Maclin finds out that Frankie Kazarian has beaten him to the punch and is part of the team.

Rhino beats Callihan after Angels grabs Callihan's ankle and Kon hits Callihan with a chair behind the referee's back, allowing Rhino to hit the Gore for the win.

Backstage, Dirty Dango is speaking with Director of Authority Santino Marella when Trey Miguel shows up and wants to know what Impact is doing for him. Santino says he will have a hand-picked opponent for Trey, and that there will a six-man "mega match" for the X Division Championship at Multiverse of Matches. Suddenly, Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice show up to measure Trey Miguel as they look for an opponent for Swinger. Trey leaves, then Swinger tries to get a job with Dango, who threatens to use his powers as Assistant Director of Authority. Santino has to remind Dango it is not his job, but Dango says it is not a job, but a lifestyle.

Backstage, Ace Austin, Chris Bey and KENTA are met by Shane Haste. Haste congratulates Austin and Bey on winning the Impact tag team titles, as does Rich Swann, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Frankie Kazarian. Austin says he looks forward to seeing their match against Time Machine (KUSHIDA, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley), who he says he and Bey softened up. Kazarian says he, Swann and Alexander have never teamed up before and that they should get some reps for challenging Austin, Bey and KENTA to a six-man tag match next week. Bey says he, Austin and KENTA are not warm-ups, but Alexander tells his team to wear their championship belts or wear their insecurities.

KUSHIDA beats Jonathan Gresham with the Hoverboard Lock. Both men shake hands after the match.

We see footage of Eddie Edwards being driven to the desert.

Killer Kelly sits in a metal folding chair in the middle of the ring. Kelly says she is not very with Taylor Wilde's games with her tarot cards and magic tricks, then calls Taylor Wilde out to entertain an idea of her own game. Taylor Wilde shows up. Taylor says she is not here to play games, as the spirit sends her messages through the cards, and the cards say this is not about Kelly, but about the future and what is meant to be. She then has Killer Kelly pick a card, but Kelly says her destiny does not come from cards and that she makes her own destiny by taking destiny by the throat and choking the life out of it. Taylor says that if Kelly does not choose her own fate, she will choose it for you, and draws The Tower, which is "massive change, upheaval, destruction and chaos." All of a sudden, Kelly is attacked from behind with the metal folding chair by KiLynn King, who then lays Kelly out and lays the Tower card on her.

PCO is seen striking a rock with a shovel as he waits for Eddie Edwards.

Backstage, Killer Kelly is met by The Demon Dollz (Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Jessicka). Rosemary says witches cannot be trusted, and had Kelly come to them first, she would have given her insight. She then says that Kelly is a stone cold, single-minded killer and that there is a world out there she is failing to grasp before calling Taylor Wilde a charlatan. Rosemary then says Kelly knows where to find them if she needs their help, but Kelly says she does not and that she is not afraid of two-on-one situations before leaving. Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King then show up, and Taylor says Rosemary almost hurt her feelings and is jealous she can channel black magic. KiLynn then dares The Demon Dollz to stop them if they do not like that, and Rosemary says that if they want a taste of the Knockouts Tag Team Championships, they will make it happen if KiLynn and Taylor renounce their magic. KiLynn accepts, then says The Coven does not kick the door down; they break it down. The Demon Dollz then tell them that witches get stitches at they leave.

Eddie Edwards looks for PCO in the desert with a tire wrench in his hand. He calls PCO out, and PCO nearly attacks him with a shovel. Both men then brawl in the desert, but PCO plants Eddie on the ground. PCO then drags Eddie into a shallow pit where he tries to hit him with a shovel only to be hit by a car. Eddie gets up and gets in the car, and the car drives off.

"The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo guests on commentary for the next match.

Mickie James retains the Impact Wrestling Knockouts World Championship against "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw after "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo reverses a pinfall attempt by Gisele Shaw as Jai Vidal and Savannah Evans distract the referee.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for February 2, 2023

Jonathan Gresham beats Aiden Prince by submission after repeatedly ramming Prince's left knee into the mat. After the match, Gresham says that a couple of months ago, he turned his back on professional wrestling and said that he was done. He then says that he loves the business so much, and that the company that he loved so much closed its doors and he had to look for something better. Gresham says that as he looked at the industry, his eyes fell on Impact Wrestling, and says he has always wanted to come here to face the best that the business has to offer. He then says he is issuing a challenge at No Surrender before calling "Speedball" Mike Bailey out for a match.

Bullet Club ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) beat KUSHIDA and Kevin Knight after Chris Bey counters a dive from Kevin Knight with the Art of Finesse. Bey and Austin hit another Art of Finesse and The Fold for the win.

Backstage, The Design (Deaner, Kon, Angels) meets with Callihan. Deaner warns Callihan that there will be consequences for losing the Golden Six Shooter match, and says that no mercy will be given, just like when Deaner was in his position. He then tells him that tonight's match is redemption, which is step four. Deaner tells Callihan that he must win tonight.

We see a vignette for Steph de Lander, who debuts next week. (Steph de Lander is best known for her time in NXT as Persia Pirotta.)

"The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw beat Savannah Evans after Jai Vidal distracts the referee. After the match, Gisele Shaw says a lot of people refer to her as "the black widow of Impact Wrestling" because she destroys every tag team she touches, but she does not care anymore. Gisele says she does not care if Tasha Steelz, The Influence (Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne) or Chelsea Green are gone because of her, because she is not meant to be in a tag team; she is meant to destroy every single competitor she steps in the ring with, because the spotlight will always belong to her.

Backstage, Kenny King chastises two people backstage for not talking about him. Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice show up laughing, and when Kenny King is about to yell at them, Zicky Dice challenges King to a match with Swinger. King accepts and says he will try to get a match with Swinger from Swinger from Director of Authority Santino Marella, then leaves. When Swinger asks Zicky why he did this, Zicky says Swinger needs some wins under his belt if he wants a championship.

Backstage, Kenny King gets his match with Johnny Swinger from Director of Authority Santino Marella, then leaves. Steve Maclin then shows up wanting a shot at the Impact World Championship at No Surrender. Santino tells him that he has four singles matches with the winners in a four-way match to decide a #1 contender for the Impact World Championship, and that Maclin is in one of those matches. Dirty Dango then shows up and tells Maclin to back off, then tells Santino he will do anything for him to be in one of those matches. Santino says he is in one of them, then Dango leaves.

Crazzy Steve beats Sheldon Jean. Afer the match, Trey Miguel attacks Black Taurus from behind with a can of spray paint, then does the same to Crazzy Steve. Trey tries to tag Steve, but Steve bites his hand, takes his can of spray paint, and tags himself with Trey's logo. Trey retreats.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Jordynne Grace, who mentions her contractually obligated rematch for the Knockouts Championship before challenging the arriving Steph de Lander to a match next week.

Director of Authority Santino Marella meets with Raven backstage. Santino asks for advice, and Raven tells Santino to make his champion if he wants to make the company money. Santino says he will consider it, then leaves. All of a sudden, Reese shows up and asks him if he is getting the Flock back together. Reese says "Shut up, Yeti," then Reese says that he hates it when Raven is mean to him and that sometimes he cries at night.

Bully Ray heads to the ring after tearing a "Bully Ray Sucks!" sign and staring down a child. The crowd chants "You tapped out!" and boo Bully as he says he is starting to get the feeling that people in Impact from the management to the fans - and even the wrestling world itself - do not like him. He also has the feeling that Director of Authority Santino Marella does not like him due to Santino not putting him in the Golden Six Shooter Match, then tells Santino to remember what happened the last person who was in charge around here. He then says that Tommy Dreamer really does not like him and never has, then says that he never liked him either. Bully then says he is "the most real guy in the room" and that he tells it like it is, and says Dreamer has been lying to everyone all these years. Bully says Dreamer has everyone believing he is the good guy and that Bully is the bad guy, then says Dreamer is "the biggest phony the business has ever seen," as he wants to be loved by everybody, then says it is unrealistic. He then says Dreamer is "nothing more than a snake in this business," then Mickie James shows up. Mickie says that since Bully ruined her celebration last time, she might as well return the favor, and says that she has watched for years as Bully Ray refuses to get along with anyone and comes to Impact to bicker. She also says being a politicking snake has been Bully's M.O. his entire career, then says that she is being straight and honest with him just like how Bully is straight and honest with everyone else, and tells Bully to get out of Impact Wrestling. Bully takes the microphone from Mickie's hand and asks what is wrong with her before threating to slap the smile off of her face, then warns her that he knows she is trying to save face and that he will take that shot. Bully reminds Mickie of what happened two weeks ago and asks what would happen if he did it again or did worse, and that he has done worse to other women and that Mickie is worse than those women. He says he could have taken the high road - or he could take the high road right now - but he will give her what she deserves and take the low road before calling Mickie a tramp. Mickie takes off the Knockouts title and slaps Bully in the face. Bully responds by grabbing Mickie and scoop slamming her and calling for The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch), who immediately show up and produce a table from underneath the ring before Tommy Dreamer forces all three men to retreat with a Kendo stick. Dreamer tells Bully they are thirty years in the making and that it will be settled sooner or later, then calls out The Good Hands for attacking him at Bully's behest before challenging them to a tag match against himself and Mickie James. The Good Hands are about to back up the ramp when Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and makes the match official for next week, and bans "Bobby Ray" from ringside for the match.

We hear from Killer Kelly. She says that when she beats opponents, she is done with them, but for some reason, Taylor Wilde is obsessed with her. Suddenly, Taylor Wilde shows up and says she does not want to face her, but to join her side-by-side. When Kelly asks who she is going to play with, The Death Dollz (Rosemary, Taya Valkryie, Jessicka) teleport into the room. Rosemary says Taylor calls from the spirits of the dark realm, and says that she is spawned from those dark spirits before proposing a tag team match. Rosemary and Taylor laugh. Taya Valkyrie and Jessicka also laugh, albeit awkwardly.

Kenny King quickly beats Johnny Swinger with a capoeira kick and a Royal Flush. After the match, Kenny King says he is out here to "beat the piss out of that weird old man" and to let all the champions in Impact on notice. He says that he has exposed "Speedball" Mike Bailey as the "homicidal maniac that he is" and that anyone who is champion is a target.

Backstage, Masha Slamovich is approached by Bully Ray, who says it is good to meet her and says that Mickie James has been disrespectful to her to the point that she acts like Masha does not even exist and that Masha is not a threat to her title. He says that if he were Mickie, he would not be sleeping at night, as Masha is on her mind, and that after The Good Hands take out Mickie next week, Masha can become Knockouts Champion. He then says that if he were Mickie, he would never show these levels of disrespect or let her get away with it again. Masha replies to Bully in Russian, then leaves.

Backstage, Matt Cardona tells everyone backstage that he will beat Joe Hendry to become a two-time Digital Media Champion and give him a taste of his own medicine. Cardona then premieres his own answer song to Hendry's. After Cardona applauds himself on his own work, almost everyone is gone, and the one person left has something against Cardona taking Hendry's mother on a date. Another person shows up and says he loves Hendry's song, much to Cardona's chagrin.

The Design (Deaner, Kon, Angels) and Callihan beat "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Frankie Kazarian, Yuya Uemura and Rich Swann in an eight-man tag match.

Here are all of this week's backstage segments!

"Outlandish" Zicky Dice beats Carlie Bravo in the BTI Match.

Trey Miguel retains the Impact Wrestling X Division Championship against Mike Jackson. After the match, Trey Miguel looks for his spray paint underneath the ring, but he finds Crazzy Steve instead. Crazzy Steve comes out from underneath the ring, and his body is covered with the word "Trey" while Trey's logo is on the back of his head. Steve then tags himself with Trey's logo with red spray paint, and as Trey backs away, he runs into Black Taurus on the ramp. Trey is forced to hop the barricade to escape.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander. Alexander says the field is stacked in tonight's Golden Six-Shooter Match and that he will defend the world title against anybody. He says everyone in the match has known what it is like to be champion, and no matter who wins, he is the longest-reigning for a reason. Steve Maclin shows up and says he has defeated everyone in the match and says that he wants the world title as well. He tells Alexander to keep one eye over his shoulder, as Scott D'Amore is not here to protect him anymore.

KUSHIDA and Kevin Knight beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) with a Kimura Lock from KUSHIDA to Jason Hotch.

Backstage, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw finds out from Director of Authority Santino Marella who her tag team partner is. The tag team partner is not shown, but Jai Vidal is delighted by the choice and regards them as a legend.

Backstage, Mickie James thanks Jordynne Grace for giving her one of the best matches of her career at Hard To Kill, but mentions Jordynne helping her last week and is confused by the whole situation. Jordynne says she showed up to protect her investment, as she still has a championship rematch. She also says Mickie tapped out at Hard To Kill and that the title will come back to her soon. Mickie says she will beat her after she beats Masha Slamovich, but Jordynne says that hinges on if she beats Masha.

The Death Dollz (Taya Valkyrie and Jessicka) beat "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw and Tara in what is Tara's first match in Impact in nine-and-a-half years after Gisele Shaw refuses to tag Tara in to the point that she disrespects her. Tara confronts Gisele, and this leads to Rosemary, Taya and Jessicka all eating popcorn in the corner while Gisele and Tara argue until Tara hits Gisele with the Widow's Peak and leaves the ring.

We see Taylor Wilde thank the spirits guiding her on her path, then sees a message in her tarot cards. She finds out that she will be seeing more of Killer Kelly in her future.

Director of Authority Santino Marella and Busted Open host David LaGreca are met by Bully Ray, who takes offense to not being in the Golden Six-Shooter Match and mentions interference by Tommy Dreamer and Josh Alexander's wife in his title match. Santino tells him that he lost, then Bully Ray admits that he finds Santino entertaining and that he put him over all the time and reminds him of what happened to Scott D'Amore before leaving. Santino asks LaGreca how he can deal with Bully Ray, and LaGreca says that the only person who can is Tommy Dreamer.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans. Tasha says that Mickie James did not beat her one-on-one. On the subject of difficulties between her and Savannah Evans, Tasha says nothing is working out, and then leaves.

Bullet Club ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) beat The Major Players (Matt Cardona and Brian Myers) with a double-team pinning combination that leaves Cardona disoriented. After the match, Joe Hendry shows up and mentions Matt Cardona wanting a shot at the Digital Media Championship before telling him he accepts his challenge. He says he respects Cardona about being the original Internet Champion, then says that Cardona has been green with envy and feeling left out, which is the last thing he and the fans want Cardona to feel. We then hear Joe Hendry's parody song about The Major Players and Chelsea Green. This leads to an "Edge's Bitch" chant from the crowd.

Backstage, Moose is met by The Major Players (Matt Cardona and Brian Myers), who tell him that Impact has a Joe Hendry problem and that they will take care of Hendry.

Jonathan Gresham beats Sheldon Jean.

Rich Swann beats Rhino, Eddie Edwards, Chris Sabin, Moose and Sami Callihan in a Golden Six Shooter Elimination Match to become #1 contender for the Impact Wrestling World Championship. Eddie Edwards is eliminated by Chris Sabin after PCO show up and security and referees stop him from entering the ring. Near the end of the match, The Design (Deaner, Kon, Angels) shows up, and Deaner tells Callihan to take him out. After the match, Deaner tells Callihan to finish the job, but Swann confrons Deaner over this. Kon and Angels attack Swann, and Deaner tosses Swann to Callihan. Yuya Uemura runs into the ring, but he is also attacked. Frankie Kazarian and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander then run into the ring to even the numbers, and they are able to fend off Sami Callihan and The Design.
