Taiji Ishimori beats Trevor Lee to become the Impact Wrestling X Division Champion!

We hear from Alberto El Patron and Eli Drake before their match tonight for Wrestle Pro in Rahway, New Jersey.

Backstage, Taiji Ishimori runs into Dezmond Xavier, who congratulates him on the ring before telling him he wants a shot at the X Division title in their rematch. Both men then shake hands.

Konnan is angry about what Sami Callihan did to him last week, and he feels like taking matters into his own hands.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews "The Cowboy" James Storm. Storm says he is usually happy-go-lucky, but tonight is a little different. He says Adam Lambert came into Impact and disrespected the company, and Storm says he is the company and has been around since day one. He has given his life and everything he has had to the business and to Impact, and Impact has given him life and given him everything. He promises he will finish Lambert tonight and send him back to Florida, as Lambert has no idea who he is or what he does, as all he knows him for is wrestling when he also helps the young talent in the back. He tells Lambert that to fight him is to fight everyone in the back, and he will see him in a few moments.

Ethan Carter III retains the Impact Grand Championship against Matt Sydal and Fallah Bahh by judge's decision.

We hear from Johnny Impact, who says he is sick and tired of the "Golden Boy" moniker.

We see footage of Moose entering the building only to be attacked from behind with a steel chair by KM.

We look back on the origin of Joseph Park, as well as his match at Slammiversary X against Bully Ray.

Chandler Park beats John Bolin in his debut match after Joseph Park punches John Bolin in the face for saying "Screw you and screw your Grandma Jenny!" when Joseph Park tells him that Grandma Jenny would be ashamed of him.

We hear from Matt Sydal, who says that Ethan Carter III is scared of him. He says tonight's defeat feels like a victory to him as well as a way to take the Impact Grand Championship away from EC3.

We hear from Alberto El Patron and Eli Drake before tonight's main event.

In a pre-recorded match from last Saturday night in Wrestle Pro in Rahway, New Jersey, Eli Drake retains the Impact Wrestling Global Championship against Alberto El Patron after pushing El Patron into the referee before hitting him in the head with the title.

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.

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.
