Havok beats Masha Slamovich. After the match, Father James Mitchell tells Rosemary to take care of her anger problems, as she leaves collateral damage every time she causes trouble. He says that he tried to warn her after she stole Su Yung and reminded her of the consequences of her actions, but then she put her hands on him, and for that, he sicced Havok on her.

Johnny says he is just offering help, but Elgin says he does not need it from him or from John E. Bravo.

We hear from Rosemary, who says that Father James Mitchell loves the sound of his own voice and that she is a creature of action. While Havok and Mitchell may have gotten the better of her last week, she asks what will make Havok any different when Mitchell could not control Su Yung. She then says that the shadow has put her on a mission to take back the Knockouts Championship, and if Mitchell wants that collateral damage he keeps talking about, she is more than happy to give it to him.

He says he is also sick and tired of "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin's bragging about putting him in the hospital, and says that whether he is clear or not, he will be defending the Impact World Championship at Slammiversary.

We hear from Moose, who says that Killer Kross is too self-centered and psychotic to have his back and that The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) is not good enough to have his back, and that from this day on, he has to handle things himself.

Before the next match, Glenn Gilberti takes the microphone and says that to show he is not that bad a guy, he will give Tessa Blanchard credit for being one of the most talented women's wrestlers, then says it's like being the best player on the Philadelphia Flyers, as it does not count for much. She says that while the women's revolution is a road to stardom, it is a road full of potholes that can lead one off a cliff, and that the women's revolution is a car crash waiting to happen due to "how women drivers are." He then mentions Tessa's father being Tully Blanchard, and says that if she still has daddy issues tonight, he'll be her daddy. Tessa beats up Gilberti and very quickly gets the win.

Before the next match, Glenn Gilberti shows up and says that when "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux beat him, it was a "once-in-a-lifetime" fluke and says it was hard enough to watch one woman wrestle; now Impact is trying to get kicked off TV with ten women wrestling. He then says that the only way this match will be happening is if it is a bra and panties battle royal, but after seeing who is in the ring, it is better than they kept their clothes on. The bell ring, then all ten women in the match stomp Gilberti out of the ring. Glenn Gilberti then guests on commentary for the match to complain about women's wrestling.

After Johnny says it is time for the next contender, Moose shows up. Moose says all he hears backstage is Johnny Impact crying and whinng, and tells him he is a crybaby and the worst champion Impact Wrestling has ever had. He says the only reason he is not World Champion is because of Killer Kross - who he thought was his best friend - and "The Machine" Brian Cage. Suddenly, Killer Kross shows up. Kross calls Moose a "defiler," a "betrayer" and a "son of a bitch," and says Moose should know better than anybody else not to cross a killer, and says that dealing with him tests his patience. Johnny stops the argument that happens between Moose and Kross briefly, then Moose tells Kross he "benched" him for going against Johnny twice and says it is his time to become World Champion.

Callihan offers the oVe shirt - and a place in the oVe family - to Rich Swann once again. Swann tries to walk away, but Callihan says all of this was possible because he saved him. He says that if it weren't for him, Swann would be dead on the side of the road in Baltimore, Maryland and he would not even be able to take care of his family, whom Callihan mentions by name, angering Swann. Callihan tells Swann that oVe is his real family, and tells him to step up and join them. Swann says the shirt is the right size, but it is not the right fit.

He says that Kross is skilled, but all people will remember about his is how much of a piece of garbage he is. Right now, he is focused on Kross, and if Moose will be at ringside, that means he won't be hiding during the match. Tonight, he will take a piece of garbage to the Slamtown dump.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for January 11, 2019

Johnny Impact shows up to start tonight's show. Johnny says the World title is important, but right now, nothing is more important to him than his wife, Taya Valkyrie. He says the end of Homecoming should have been a celebration, but Taya has been in the hospital since Killer Kross attacked her. He says that Kross has angered him with his backstage acts and cryptic actions, but after what he did to Taya, all he can think about is what he wants to do to him when he gets his hands on him. All of a sudden, "The Machine" Brian Cage shows up. Cage says he had Johnny beat for a count of ten, and that his friends on Survivor as well as "an idiot referee" saved him. He says he is the rightful champion and that everyone knows it. He then demands his World title rematch right here and now, but Johnny says now is not the time or place. Cage says he doesn't care, since Johnny doesn't care about him; all he cares about is the championship. As Johnny is about to give him that rematch, Killer Kross shows up. He calls Johnny Impact "the great impostor," and says that Cage had him beat at Homecoming, yet Johnny is still a champion. He says that Johnny has shown his true colors and proven he has only cared about his image, and as soon as Taya returns to Impact, he will put her right back in the hospital. Johnny tries to go after Kross, but Cage stops him. Cage gets superkicked, then Johnny hits a tope con hiro. When Johnny gets Kross in the ring, Cage his Johnny with a clothesline.

Tonight, he plans to rip Johnny out of his own skin, and tells him "it's over."

Josh Mathews interviews Rich Swann in the ring. As the crowd chants "You deserve it!", Swann says Homecoming marked one of the biggest moments of his career, for there was a vision of a division in The Asylum and it was the X Division. After name-dropping notable X Division alumni and mentioning they changed the company and the industry, he says that he stepped into the ring with three of today's best X Division wrestlers in Ultimate X and came out on top. He says it's not about weight limits, it's about no limits, and he is "the No Limit Soldier of the X Division" and he is ready to take on all comers. Suddenly, Sami Callihan shows up, and Josh Mathews leaves as Sami threatens to beat him up and tells Don Callis to stop talking back to him. Sami says there have been rumors about what is going on between him and Rich Swann, and says that he and Swann have a long history that the fans don't deserve to learn at this point. Sami then tells Swann that family is everything, and tells him to do what is best for him and accept his offer. He produces a shirt with the oVe logo on it from the merchandise table and tells Swann to put it on before tossing it at his face. As Sami tells Swann to "come on home to Ohio," Willie Mack shows up and brawls with Sami Callihan.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for October 18, 2018

Johnny Impact shows up to start tonight's show. Johnny says that wrestling is a crazy business, then the fans chant "You deserve it!" He says that a kid, that craziness attracted him to professional wrestling, and while it was not the coolest thing to be into as a kid, he thought it was cool and got his dad to take him to wrestling shows at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles, California. He says he was into weird stuff as a kid, such as breakdancing and parkour, but he is that kind of guy and if he wants something, he'll go for it. He was told that self-financing his own movie about a bounty hunter would not work, but it's now on Netflix and he is still proud of it even if he sees "in the dollar bin at Dollar General." He thought it would be cool to be on Survivor, so he did that, too. However, one thing that every kid who dreams of being a professional wrestler dreams of being a World champion, and while he has come close and has looked like a champion, but it wasn't always his night. He says he heard it so much he almost believed it, but now he is Impact Wrestling World Champion, and all the training, fighting and believing he has done has led to this and he believes that this business is what everyone makes it. He is now the guy at Impact Wrestling, and he will not be the guy who hides between two guys, politics out of business and makes passive-aggressive tweets due to not having what it takes, and if anyone deserves a shot at the title, he will give it to them. Suddenly, Fenix shows up and congratulates Johnny on winning the world title, then says that he has won championships around the world, but never in Impact Wrestling. He feels it would be an incredible opportunity to face Johnny for the world title, and challenges him to a World title match next week. Johnny says that was a pretty convenient time because he could not say all that he said and say no, but he promises that the match will be a fight and that if it happens to be Fenix's night, he will shake his hand, as they are both friends and professionals. He says that next week, they will tear the house down, because that is what they do.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Tommy Dreamer. He says to expect the unexpected, and while Moose may be one of the greatest to go from NFL to professional wrestling, he always wants to take a shortcut to success and lost at Bound For Glory. He also says he saw the beatdown given to Eddie Edwards and felt the pain in Eddie's back that he has felt throughout his entire life. He tells Moose to expect him to beat his ass and wrap a steel chair around his head like he hasn't done in a long time, as he has never been politically correct and he is "damn proud of it."

We see footage of Moose and Killer Kross outside of the arena, where they are interviewed by Mackenzie Mitchell. As Moose talks about his custom-made Shaolin monk suit, he tells Tommy Dreamer that the chants have gotten to his head. Killer Kross cuts him off, and says that Dreamer thinks he is control, saying he may be "The innovator of Violence," but he is not the arbitrator of all decisions. He says that Moose does not accept because he does not have to. Instead, the two of them accept his challenge, and chalks up Dreamer's lack of fear to brain damage that is about to get worse tonight.

Taya Valkyrie beats Katarina. After the match, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Taya in the ring. Taya says her match with Tessa Blanchard was all about humbling Tessa Blanchard, saying that Tessa resorting to the tactics she used at Bound For Glory disrespected her, and while she used to respect Tessa Blanchard, she does not respect her anymore.

Backstage, "Reborn" Matt Sydal is glad Ethan Page has joined him, as they are on a path to transcendence and enlightenment and to show the world a little of what they are here to enjoy. They are here to open hearts, minds and thir eyes, but sometimes the pain is fraught with suffering, and at Bound For Glory, they suffered defeat. Ethan Page says that he has suffered worse, but ever since meeting Sydal, he has become more in tune with himself, and together, they are almost one mind. Sydal says that suffering leads to growth, and tonight, Ethan Page can reveal what growth he has achieved when he faces Trevor Lee and shows him how to open his third eye and see his path to transcendence. Page says that he will make Trevor Lee suffer too, and Sydal responds by saying that pain is universal.

Outside the arena, Gama Singh hits Hakim Zane with a broom again. He tells Hakim has passed the first test, and that he has the ultimate test to pass next: a match against Gama Singh himself. He gives him seven days to prepare.

Ethan Page beats Trevor Lee.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Rich Swann and Willie Mack. Swann says this week has been a roller coaster week since they beat "Reborn" Matt Sydal and Ethan Page after "Mack mode" showed them what was up. Willie Mack says that as soon as he got the call to take out some "enlightened jokers," they got the job done, but tonight, Swann is on his own, but he knows he can win the X Division title. Swann says the X Division title is within his reach, and while "The Machine" Brian Cage is a machine, he has charisma, athleticism and raw talent that will not be held down when Cage gets the fight of his life tonight.

Eli says he looks back on Bound For Glory and sees a conspiracy where everybody wants a piece of him and a man who is not part of the company wants to swing a steel chair at him. He is also not happy with Abyss putting him through the table, then says Impact Wrestling has become an unsafe working environment, using the Concrete Jungle Street Fight between The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz) and The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez) as an example. He says he does not want to be here and needs to protect himself, and that he will be suing Impact Wrestling for an unsafe work environment.

We see The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz) in a bar celebrating the end of The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez). All of a sudden, The OG'z shows up to deliver a message to Konnan. They had a meeting wtih the bosses, who were kind enough to let The OG'z keep a piece of New York on the condition that both factions stay on their respective side. Konnan tells King to get out, since he is not on his respective side, then leave so that LAX can get back to guzzling down shots at the bar.

We see footage from earlier today from oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan). Sami Callihan says "You're welcome" as far as Bound For Glory being sold out is concerned. As for tonight, one of the Crist brothers is getting a big opportunity, and he gives it to Jake to give him a chance in the spotlight against "The Machine" Brian Cage to go from "the mini-draw" to "the medium draw." Sami says that tonight, they know how to beat "The Machine" Brian Cage and that Jake Crist is going to hand Cage his first loss in Impact Wrestling. Jake is reluctant at first, but Sami Callihan soon fires him up.

We see footage of Eli Drake in Mexico City, Mexico taking in the sights and tastes of the city on the way to the arena to challenge any takers.

"The Machine" Brian Cage beats Jake Crist. After the match, Sami Callihan attacks Cage from behind and stomps Cage in the groin before the lights go out. When they come back on, Dave Crist is suddenly gone. The video screen then shows The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix), who are holding Dave Crist hostage and hitting him with 2x4s before superkicking him. Sami Callihan is enraged, and he and Jake Crist turn around to a double clothesline by Brian Cage, who is now back up, followed by a tope con hilo.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Austin Aries, Moose and Killer Kross. Aries gives Mackenzie credit for lasting one week longer than El Texano, whom he says came up short. He says that he is World champion because he takes care of business, and now he feels very bad for some unlucky souls as Moose and Killer Kross are going to take care of business their way: total destruction. Moose says he told himself that he would not lose his composure tonight, but Eddie Edwards is getting to him just a little bit. He says that he and Kross are dangerous, not Eddie, and tells Eddie to bring his kendo stick as he finds out why he is still a legend. Killer Kross says he knows what Johny Impact is doing as he positions himself in all sorts of wrestling promotions, saying that he corrupts everything he touches like a virus. He says that the three of them have plans for Impact Wrestling, and that Johnny's future is very bleak. Tonight, he plans to make Johnny Impact "Johnny Neckbrace."

After the match, The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez) are on the video screen last week, sarcastically thanking LAX for their victory before telling them that he won last week after showing what he will do to LAX at Bound For Glory. King makes a reference to Konnan's past as a masked luchador before producing the mask that Konnan lost in Mexico City and saying it was the beginning of Konnan's end, which he says led to Konnan leeching off other people. He tells Santana and Ortiz that they don't need Konnan, as he, Homicide and Hernandez has realized they don't need Konnan either after Konnan leeched off them just like he is leeching off Santana and Ortiz. He then says that while losing the mask was the beginning of Konnan's end, but at Bound For Glory, he will end Konnan. Konnan's old mask is then burned on a steel can.
