Matt Bloom meets with Bubba Ray Dudley, Booker T and Terry Taylor. Terry Taylor gets Mike DeRudder, who he does not want flipping and flying - saying less is more - and Harley Riggins, who is returning from injury after just understanding tag team psychology. Bubba Ray gets Masyn Holiday, who Matt Bloom wants to focus more on strikes more than her big moves, vs. Bayley Humphrey, who is getting things together. Bubba Ray wants to make sure that everything both women do mean something, and notes that Bayley is a little afraid of hurting people in the ring. Booker T gets Kali Armstrong, whose time in WWE is coming, vs. Layla Diggs, who has gotten comfortable in front of the camera and needs to find herself.

Bubba Ray Dudley meets with Masyn Holiday and Bayley Humphrey and tells that he wants to see and hear intent and impact. He says he wants the match to be move-for-move and size-for-size, and has both of them do a staredown before stepping back and going into a lock-up. He leads them into the corner and then into the clean break. Masyn finds this helpful when it comes to getting the audience to understand what is going on for their match.

Bayley Humphrey beats Masyn Holiday. After the match, Bubba Ray Dudley says the match was very good because they understood the story and the psychology. He reminds Bayley to "fire up big," telling her that she needs to be more vocal when yelling at the crowd and to find her inner animal. He also mentions that he was hearing the crowd more for Masyn than anyone else. Matt Bloom also praises the match, and also mentions that while Masyn had the crowd, he wants her to react when the crowd is with her.

Booker T meets with Layla Diggs and Kali Armstrong. Kali mentions that Booker T wants to focus on the little things, such as the clap before locking in a submission hold. Layla notes the passion that Booker has for the business, and Booker T coaches her on looking like she has control in the match, and also agrees that she needs to focus on the little things.

Kali Armstrong beats Layla Diggs. Shawn Michaels and Matt Bloom approve of the match, as does Booker T. Booker T notes that Layla Diggs did not give a dominant position and says that she could have fired up before going to the top rope after the backflip into the Pele Kick. He also notes that Kali worked on the little things that he wanted her to focus on. Layla feels that she is getting better. Booker T says that Kali has passed the test and that it is a matter of time, and Matt Bloom agrees, saying the possibilities for her could be endless.

Backstage, Kevin Patrick interviews "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Omos.

Omos says he was simply scouting the competition for Styles earlier in the battle royal. After Styles accuses Kevin of giving Omos grief for what The Viking Raiders did to him last week, Styles says that Riddle is banged up tonight. He says that with Riddle tired, it will be a little easier to win tonight's triple threat qualifier, win Money In The Bank, and become WWE Champion for a third time.



Backstage, The Lucha House Party (Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik) compliment Nikki Cross on her new superhero outfit, then Sarah Schreiber interviews Nikki Cross.

Kofi Kingston heads to the ring. Kofi says there are certain moments in our lives that occur and change us for better or worse, and says he does not know how last week has affected him yet after seeing Xavier Woods screaming and writhing in pain in the Cell. She says that Xavier Woods was there to have his back, but once he was in the Cell, he could not do anything for him. He says that people have disrespected Woods for a long time, thinking he is not up to snuff, and that Woods proved what kind of competitor he is. Kofi says that it is time to put some respect on Woods' name, then says that while Bobby Lashley won that match, what MVP did after that match was not okay, as MVP kept Woods locked in both the Cell and Lashley's Hurt Lock. He says he cannot get this image out of his mind, and promises that he will make Lashley pay when he beats him at Money In The Bank, takes everything from him and becomes WWE Champion. MVP shows up with his entourage and says that Kofi saying he will beat Lashley for the WWE Championship is the most ridiculous thing he has heard from him, then says he is looking forward to Money In The Bank and a live audience while looking past Kofi. MVP says Kofi is no threat to Lashley, who is currently on vacation and has passed a message to MVP where he states that he enjoyed doing what he did to Woods and that he looks forward to doing the same to Kofi. After MVP says that what Lashley will do to Kofi will make Brock Lesnar look like's child play, Kofi reminds MVP that Drew McIntyre beat Lashley within an inch of a life and would have won had it not for MVP, then says he has beaten Lashley and can beat him again. Kofi says that Lashley is more beatable than ever, as layers of Lashley's mystique have disappeared to the point that he is scrambling to grab a piece of his former success like MVP is doing. MVP says he has done what he has done for Lashley because he has deserved it, but Kofi says he has deserved to become WWE Champion and never took a day off when he was champ, taking the title to Ghana and returning to television the next day while Lashley is distracted and taking vacations. He says that Lashley's eyes are off the prize and that somebody else will take that prize, and that this somebody will be him. MVP says he respects Kofi's optimism and says that Woods was extremely optimistic about beating Lashley in Hell In A Cell. He then says that Lashley injured Woods to the point that he is not here, and that the odds of Woods returning next week are as slim as Kofi's title chances. Kofi says that Woods will show up next week as he has heart and determination, and says that MVP has been milking a knee injury for six months.

Charlotte says that tonight, the three of them will prove that respect is earned.

When R-Truth asks if he can borrow the strap afterwards to whip Tozawa with, he gets no response as Ryker keeps hitting himself.

Jaxson Ryker beats Elias in a Strap Match.

The Impact Plus Moment of the Week is Abyss and Taylor Wilde vs. Raven and Daffney in a Monster's Ball Match at Slammiversary in 2009.

At a church in Boston, Massachusetts, Eddie Edwards prays before confession, where he tells the priest he has lost a lot on the path of doing bad things he is on. He then finds out he is talking to Killer Kross. Kross tells Eddie he is looking for forgiveness in all the wrong places, and asks if Eddie is losing himself or finding himself. Eddie tells Kross that while there are rules in the church, there are none outside and that he will be waiting outside, but Kross says he will make himself comfortable here. Kross is then met by the same priest who talked to Eddie earlier, and says he confesses his sins everyday before asking the man how much time he has.



Backstage, John E. Bravo brags about his time with Johnny Impact with the referees and security, but they make fun of Bravo's closeness to Johnny and laugh at him. John E. Bravo takes offense to this and threatens to do something to Rich Swann. Swann shows up, and so Johnny Impact and Willie Mack, and all four men have to be held back. Rich Swann challenges Bravo and Impact to a tag team match against him and Mack. Bravo accepts on Impact's behalf.



Sami Callihan beats Fallah Bahh. During the match, Madman Fulton gets ejected for getting involved in the match. After the match, Sami Callihan says he is as over as a male performer can be and that he is tired of Knockouts being considered as equals. He threatens to hold the show hostage and sits down. He then calls out Tessa Blanchard, who shows up and jumps over the top rope when Sami opens the ropes up for her. Sami notes that Tessa is wearing heels and says she will do nothing to him because he is a man, and says that if Tessa wants to be seen as an equal, she will get what she wished for before booting her in the face. After saying that this is what happens when a Knockout gets in the ring with him, Tessa gets up and pounds on Sami Callihan. Jake and Dave Crist show up to hold Tessa down, and Sami hits Tessa in the gut with a bat. Sami and The Crist Brothers tease leaving the ring, then Sami hits Tessa with a spike piledriver after Tessa spits in his face.





The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz) beat Laredo Kid and The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz).



Backstage, Melissa Santos interviews Madison Rayne says she should be proud of her win against Jordynne Grace, but the finish was clouded in controversy when Kiera Hogan got involved. Kiera Hogan shows up as Madison says Jordynne is deserving of a rematch, saying Jordynne is deserving of nothing and that Madison reminds her of the old her before saying everyone in the division is a bunch of "selfish bitches." Hogan then states that unlike the other women in the division, she is not afraid to admit how selfish she is. Madison Rayne says that Kiera Hogan is right to a point and that the rematch with Jordynne can wait, and if Kiera wants to pull the dark out of her, then they can get in the ring and she can show how ugly she can get.

The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz) head back to the treehouse after their match. When Trey Miguel says he is a credit to the team for hitting the Meteora from the top rope for two big wins - one of them being the match where they won and then lost the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Championships - the three of them argue over who will team with who before deciding on having a Triple Threat Match where the loser doesn't go to Slammiversary.
