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.

Brian Myers and Sam Beale head to the ring. Brian Myers asks Jake Something to head to the ring. Jake Something shows up, but brings Matt Cardona with him. Myers is incensed, but Cardona tells him to be professional, be a man and keep to his word. Myers tells Jake Something he is a professional, but that does not mean he is going to be a star, as he does not look the part. He then says that the only thing going for Jake is his name, for he will only be something. This starts a brawl between the team of Beale and Myers and the team of Jake and Cardona, and Cardona comes out on top. As he has Myers where he wants him, Cardona is suddenly hit with a low blow. The culprit is Tenille Dashwood, who has brought Kaleb with her. She and Myers attack Cardona while Kaleb takes pictures.

We hear from Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner, Rhino). Eric Young says that last week, change came to pass and it was violent, and this week, they will show that it was by design.



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. Moose says The Good Brothers may be on his side, but he is not on theirs, and attacks Gallows when he wraps his arm around his shoulder. Sami joins Moose in cleaning house. Backstage, Don Callis meets with The Good Brothers, who gives them a match against Moose and Sami Callihan.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Don Callis, who says that The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) vs. Moose and Sami Callihan is official due to his being Executive Vice President of Impact, then Scott D'Amore shows up. Scott D'Amore is shocked that Callis would make a match without telling him, but Callis is more concerned about meeting with Kenny Omega.

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.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Rachael Ellering, Tenille Dash wood, Rosemary and Havok. Rosemary says they will show no mercy and leave no survivor. When asked where Taylor Wilde is, Tenille and Kaleb do not know and have the feeling she will not make it. Rachael Ellering offers to replace Taylor Wilde with Jordynne Grace, and as Tenille is reluctant, Jordynne Grace shows up unhappy with being a "substitute." 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. Suddenly, the lights go out, and when they come back on, Satoshi Kojima of New Japan Pro Wrestling fame shows up. Satoshi Kojima stares down Joe Doering and says "Against All Odds," then leaves the ring.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Dr. Ross, who says that Matt Cardona has a fractured orbital bone and should be out of action for twelve weeks. Brian Myers then says weeks is not enough and wants to destroy Matt Cardona for good. Sam Beale shows up and unintentionally interrupts, then Brian Myers looks at him and tells him that while he could slap the tattoos off of his body, he will show him how to be a professional.

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.



Backstage, Don Callis talks with The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), saying they are family while Moose and Sami Callihan cannot stand each other and that they should have no problem winning.

The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) beat Moose and Sami Callihan after Moose and Sami refuses to get along when Sami tags in as Moose is about to hit the Lights Out. Moose pump kicks Sami, and when Sami kicks out of a schoolkid pin, he hits Moose with a pump kick of his own. After the match, Moose hits Sami with the Lights Out.

Bey says he will become X Division Champion and not Austin, but Fulton and Austin start talking about Austin's recent accolades.

He also says Deaner will not solve anything from putting him through a table, and says he has no problem or regrets putting Deaner through a table.

Crazzy Steve says it is time to rejoice, as their resurrection is coming. Rosemary says that they will take the Impact X Division Championship first before taking the rest of the gold, for they are bringing forth a new era of shadows.

We see another paid advertisement from Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan, who are surrounded by AEW wrestlers. Khan says he has such a big heart that he loves doing paid ads for Impact, then the wrestlers mock Impact as Khan and Schiavone run down the card.

We then hear from Decay. Crazzy Steve says that "the best hand in the house" is made of flesh and bone, and it can be cut or broken, and when it does, the house begins to crumble.

She says the fear will bring them down like everything else and will bring them to their own decay.

We see a video package of what has happened recently between Moose and EC3.

Backstage, John E. Bravo is ticked off that he has nothing for the wedding with only week to go, and Kaleb - Tenille Dashwood's photographer - is revealed as the photographer for the wedding. Taya Valkyrie shows up to an angry John E. Bravo, who walks out of the room ready to give up.

We heat from Deonna Purrazzo, who says that Impact Wrestling has been the place to be for the last nearly twenty years for women's wrestling to be taken seriously, and says that at Bound For Glory, she will rise to the pressure, and that Kylie Rae cannot do the same. She says that it will not take long for her to get Kylie Rae to become unhinged and make rash decisions and mistakes, and that she will not only celebrate a victory, but become delighted that Kylie Rae lost.

Kylie admits that her anger sometimes gets the best of her, and says that she tries to be a good person at the end of the day. She says that Deonna made their match personal when she broke Susie's arm, but it will not be revenge when she beats Deonna for the title.



The men in the EC3 jackets take Jimmy Jacobs out of the van and take him into another building where the bag is removed. He is then met by EC3, who says there is nowhere to go and that it is just the two of them.

After the commercial break, EC3 tells Jimmy Jacobs that they are captives in their own narratives and that right now, Jacobs is in his. EC3 says that narratives change, as his adversary has emerged, and while all of him is wounded, he lives with those wounds everyday. EC3 says he saw the Moose that Moose should always have been and has the potential to be, and saw that potential in Moose's eyes when Moose hit him as hard as he could. He then says Moose's narrative is his to control, not Moose's. He says that Moose must learn what he must become, but he must learn that lesson by his hands in order to destroy his past and burn its legacy to the ground. EC3 says he must beat Moose inside his own narrative in order to fulfill his purpose, and says that the only glory at Bound For Glory is when he burns the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and its legacy into dust. He congratulates Moose on becoming what he must be, then tells Moose he has been warned.

Eric Young is interviewed. He says he has tried to give people an easy path and a means to avoid him, but nobody is learning. He says that if anyone wants to break his boundaries, they will have to live with the consequences like he has done through his career. He says that people have learned the hard way and that bodies will continue to pile up if this continues, and says that he is now angry and has a purpose and a target, and knows what has to be done regarding Rich Swann. As Young says that Swann's actions will be his responsibility, he is suddenly attacked by Eric Young, who take their brawl outside of the building until the camera capturing everything is knocked out.

Chris Bey retains the Impact X Division Championship against Willie Mack.



Luke Gallows (now known as "The Big LG" Doc Gallows) and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson - now known as The Good Brothers - show up. 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. Austin says the best big man in the business is Madman Fulton, then propose that The Good Brothers share a beer with their apology before knocking the beers out of their hands. Ace Austin then goes for a cheap shot, but The Good Brothers are ready for it and they easily overpower Austin and Fulton.



Backstage, Heath Slater - now known as just Heath - finds out he is not on the show tonight. Heath calls Rhino, who is currently in an argument over money with Hernandez where they put their money on the line in a match.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the week is Eddie Edwards vs. Bobby Lashley for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship from October 6, 2016.

Rhino quickly beats Hernandez with a single Gore.



Backstage, we hear from The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander). Alexander asks when they get to celebrate, as they have etched their names as the best tag team in Impact history, as they dominated the tag team division. Page says that was until The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) disagreed with them, and says that while they may have changed the game back then, their words are opinion, and they have held the tag team titles for over a year. Page says that the Machine Guns' opinion will be beaten by their fact tonight.

We see a vignette for a masked wrestler in a hoodie.

We see a video package where we hear from the victors of Slammiversary's matches from Saturday.

Kylie Rae shows up and says she looks forward to facing her for the Knockouts Championship after becoming #1 contender in a Knockouts Gauntlet Match. When Deonna offers to shake her hand after saying she looks forward to it, she pulls her hand back and tries to break it. This starts a brawl that is quickly broken up.

Eddie Edwards shows up. Eddie says that being the Impact World Champion feels right, and mentions that his journey for the last few years has brought him back to the title. 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.



Backstage, Moose says he will not be a fighting champion like Eddie Edwards, as his title is the most prestigious in the world and that one must receive an invitation to a title shot to get one. Moose says that Fallah Bahh will get his invitation tonight, and tells Fallah Bahh that he will see him in the ring.

Backstage, Eddie Edwards says that Impact Wrestling has the best wrestlers in the world and that he is willing to defend against anyone. Suddenly, Trey Miguel shows up and propose that they have a World title match next week. Eddie accepts.

Moose retains the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Fallah Bahh after raking his eyes to get out of the Samoan Drop prior to hitting No Jackhammer Needed to retain the title. After the match, Ethan Carter III shows up out of nowhere and hits Moose with a reverse DDT.



Outside of the arena, Ace Austin and Madman Fulton mock The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson), who are then attacked from behind by Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend). The Good Brothers turn the tables on them, then Austin and Fulton speed off.

Backstage, Rosemary and John E. Bravo head to John E.'s place. Rosemary asks John E. Bravo what he could have out of anything in the world, then Taya Valkyrie shows up. Rosemary - knowing that Taya loves a good party - summons some of the Impact Wrestling roster to the house with a snap of their fingers, then Crazzy Steve starts looking around until he finds a camera and says that this is the craziest reality show ever. We then find out that "Wrestle House" starts next week.

We hear from Crazzy Steve, who says he is so sick of hearing the word "no," yet #CancelCulture (Rob Van Dam, Katie Forbes, Joseph P. Ryan, Jacob Crist) loves to use that word and pigeonhole him. He says he is a fully-functioning homicidal artist, and next week, he will make a macabre masterpiece.

Before the next match, Johnny Swinger says he has brought a "young buck" named "M. Jackson," then introduces Mike Jackson, who clearly is an older gentleman and not one of The Young Bucks (Katt and Nick Jackson). Jackson says he loves Impact Wrestling, but he does not like Swinger trying to take advantage of the young guys in the locker room and do things for him, and says he is "a 70-year-old Old Buck" who is here to kick his butt.

Johnny Swinger beats Mike Jackson after using the ropes for leverage. (During the match, it is announced that Rebellion will be a two-week event taking place for the next two weeks, and this announcement is repeated throughout the show.)



We hear from Ace Austin, who says that Willie Mack think it is his time, but unlike Rich Swann, he does not like Willie's odds and he makes his own luck.

In his hot tub with Katie Forbes, RVD apologizes for not being there for Joey Ryan last week, saying that everyone is trying to stay safe and practice social distance, especially from The Deaners, whom Katie does not like. RVD and Katie then make out.

Hernandez beats Rohit Raju.



It's time for Locker Room Talk with Madison Rayne. Johnny Swinger is the co-host, and he celebrates his win tonight before Rayne introduces tonight's guest, Kylie Rae. As Madison talks with Kylie Rae, Johnny Swinger tries to hit on Kylie Rae, who is excited for her match with Kiera Hogan at Rebellion. Kylie says she loves the women's division when asked about Kiera. Madison tries to get Kylie to be more honest with herself regarding Kiera Hogan, but it doesn't work. When Madison brings Kiera Hogan into the room, Kiera tells Kylie she will humiliate her and wipe the smile off her face. Kylie snaps and tells her to stop, then says that Kiera has pushed her too far and that she is not very nice before storming off.

We see footage of Eddie Edwards and Michael Elgin wrestling in Qatar for Qatar Pro Wrestling. Michael Elgin beats Eddie Edwards to become the QPW Middle Eastern Champion after Edwards inadvertently knocks out the referee and "The Machine" Brian Cage shows up and beats up Edwards.

Ace Austin beats Trey Miguel after grabbing the tights during the pinfall attempt.



We hear from Willie Mack, who tells Ace Austin not to play mind games with someone who is used to playing. He says that while Austin got to some people, including Rich Swann, he is going to beat some respect to him when he takes the X Division Championship.

Tenille Dashwood beats Taya Valkyrie with a Sunset Flip after Taya brings a steel chair into the ring ony to have it taken away. After the match, Taya hits Tenille with a steel chair followed by a garbage can. She then places a few steel chairs on top of Taya, and demands John E. Bravo brings her more chairs. Taya then keeps stacking chairs on top of Taya while hitting the chairs with a garbage can lid, and shoves Bravo to the mat when he says that she has done enough before going up to the middle rope. Suddenly, Jordynne Grace shows up with a Kendo stick and attacks Taya with it. Bravo tries to stop Jordynne, but Jordynne hits him with it too before Bravo and Taya retreat. Jordynne then checks on Tenille Dashwood.





Backstage, Tommy Dreamer says that he and Rhino have been at war with oVe for a long time, and that it will come to an end next week. Rhino says that next week, things will get extreme, and he might Gore all three members in half.

We see a video package of everything leading up to Sami Callihan's return and the contract signing between him and Ken Shamrock.

Josh Mathews moderates a contract signing between Ken Shamrock and Sami Callihan in the ring. Shamrock is introduced first, followed by Callihan. Callihan makes his own entrance on his own terms, takes the microphone and tells Mathews to get out of the ring before sitting down at the table. Callihan says he knows that Shamrock wants to put his hands on him and destroy him, but cannot due to the no contract rule put into place that will make the match null and void if he does. He goes on to say that their match would be the most important match of Shamrock's career, and that Shamrock knows it will give him more buzz than he has ever had. Shamrock signs the contract and shoves it towards Callihan, who is impressed with him being strong and silent before saying that he makes stars, buzz and ratings and that hitting Eddie Edwards with a baseball bat is the best thing to ever happen to Eddie. As Callihan says that Shamrock wants the same thing to happen to him, Callihan mentions Shamrock's family, which gets his dander up. Callihan tells him to stand there or else he will find out what happens when he press a button. After Callihan calls Shamrock "The World's Most Dangerous Bitch," Shamrock flips the table, then the lights go out. As they go inand out, men in hoodies wearing poster boards with a square face with X eyes on them are seen surrounding the ring. These men eventually head to the back, and Shamrock chases after them. Scott D'Amore tries to calm Shamrock down, but to no avail, and when he gets in his car, he gets a call from Callihan, who tells him to tip his driver. The driver is one of the masked men, and the rest of the masked men surround the car and try to tip it over. This ends the show.

The superstars of Impact Wrestling are interviewed about what they remember about the rules of the King of the Mountain Match.

Scott Steiner shows up. He says that when he heard Impact was coming to town and TNA was invited to show up, he says that there was no way he wouldn't be coming, as he is the reason TNA has TNA and he does not care if he is politically correct. He says that Petey Williams will be his tag team partner in a four-way match at TNA: There's No Place Like Home, then cuts a Steiner Math promo and says he has a 141 2/3% chance of winning because he is Big Poppa Pump. Suddenly, Joey Ryan shows up. Joey Ryan states that he knows what TNA means, then says he does not know what a Big Bad Booty Daddy, genetic freak or Big Poppa Pump is. He then says Steiner should have been cancelled a long time ago just like TNA was. He then offers him a chance at redemption by joining #CancelCulture, saying goodbye to "Big Poppa Pump" and saying hello to "Big Proper Pump." When Ryan offers to shake his hand, Steiner beats him up and tells him and "the snowflakes" to kiss his ass.
