He also says that Suzuki is in action, and that Alexander can use the match to scout Suzuki.

Backstage, Brian Myers teaches leading by example. Myers calls last week the most embarrassing loss of his career, but "Outlandish" Zicky Dice says he made a lot of money off that loss and VSK says he beat Sam Beale on his own two weeks ago. Zicky Dice gets slapped twice. Brian Myers then challenges Sam Beale, whom he calls the worst student he has ever had, to a one-on-one match next week, and says that Sam Beale is a dead man.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Moose, who says that he has three men pissed off at him for different reasons, and while they are dangerous, he is the most dangerous man in the locker room and that whoever wins should be concerned.

Decay (Rosemary and Havok) beat Kimber Lee and Brandi Lauren (who are now officially known as "The Undead Bridesmaids"). At the beginning of the match, The IInspiration (Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee) show up to watch the match from the stage.

Backstage, we hear from Heath and Rhino. Heath says the last year has been rough, but he has busted his tail to come back at Bound For Glory, reunite with Rhino and beat Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner). He thought that would be the end of it, but there is still tension. He then says that Rhino got his voice back, and Rhino says it is still so raw to him and that the last year seemed to happen to someone else. He says that there is a poison in his mind and soul and Eric Young put it there, and that with Heath's help, he can purge it. He says that at Turning Point, he and Heath will purge that poison when he tears Violent By Design in half.

Backstage, we hear from The IInspiration (Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee). McKay says The Undead Bridesmaids (Kimber Lee and Brandi Lauren) had one job, and Lee says that if they can't get a simple task done, then they will have to take them out of their tag team division next week.

Backstage, we hear from Chris Sabin. He says Ace Austin looks and sounds ridiculous in an "I Beat Chris Sabin" T-shirt when they have had only one match and he needed Madman Fulton to help him cheat to beat him. He says that at Turning Point, he wants to challenge Austin to a one-on-one match, take the shirt, wipe his ass with it and shove it down Fulton's throat.

In backstage footage from last week, Madison Rayne and Kaleb complain about what happened last week regarding both Mickie James and Mercedes Martinez, then Scott D'Amore shows up and says that Madison Rayne is in a match with Mercedes Martinez next week.

Scott D'Amore shows up, and after Trey Miguel proposes putting Maclin in the X Division Championship match at Turning Point, D'Amore puts Maclin in a match against Laredo Kid next week. If Maclin wins, the X Division Championsip match at Turning Point is a three-way match. D'Amore then tells Maclin to stop interfering in stuff that doesn't involve him if he loses.

We hear from Sam Beale, Rich Swann and Willie Mack. Sam says he was the first student under Brian Myers' learning tree, which he says meant everything to him. He says that next week, they come face to face, and while it is one thing to refer to all of Myers' knowledge, it is another thing to have that knowledge nowhere in sight. He says having nothing to refer to is the real challenge. Beale says that last week, he beat Myers, and that it could have gone the other way. He says he has seen Myers up close and personal and knows how good he truly is, and the challenges that come with their matches. Sam Beale says he has to take on Myers on his own and prove he can stand on his own two feet, and when he comes to the ring, all he brings is what Myers taught him and that it may be him who teaches Myers the lesson.

In backstage footage from last week, Rohit Raju and Raj Singh meet up with Rocky Romero. Rohit says that Romero's experience carries weight, but he cannot walk into his house without wiping his feet and just get an X Division title shot when he has went through so much to get to where he is. He says that management has given him what he wants and that he is standing in his spotlight, and that he plans to push him out of the way and prove he is better than Romero and everybody else.

Rohit Raju beats Rocky Romero.

Backstage, we hear from Hernandez and Johnny Swinger. Hernandez says that Swinger is old-school just like him and gave him a job when no one else would, and if Swinger has a problem, he has a problem. He then says he has gotten a match with Scott D'Amore and says they have a match next week against The Demon and Decay (Crazzy Steve and Black Taurus), then John E. Bravo shows up and says he can solve their problems. He then says he is not wrestling, but Fallah Bahh is. Swinger says he does not trust Fallah, but Fallah says he wants to team with him so that Swinger can owe him.

Backstage, we hear from Chelsea Green. Chelsea says she knew she had to have the Impact Digital Media Championship when she first heard about it, but when she had a shot at the title, John Skyler cheated to beat her. Now that Skyler has lost to Jordynne Grace, there needs to be a new #1 contenders. She has spoken to Scott D'Amore and has gotten a #1 contender's four-way match where it is her vs. Alisha Edward vs. Matthew Rehwoldt vs. Jake Something. Chelsea tells Jordynne to watch closely, because when she wants something, she gets it, and she is about to walk away with her title.

Cousin Jake heads to the ring. He thought he had it all figured out until Deaner betrayed him, and says that while there is another path, it is not the way he thought it would be. Suddenly, Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) shows up. Eric Young says that Cousin Jake is starting to figure things out and that there is only one answer, and tells Jake to open his eyes, "become the best version of Jake" and take back his life as he hands him a red vest. Jake tosses the vest away. Jake says that if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything, and says that he stands for "Jake Something." He attacks Eric Young, but the numbers game quickly catches up. As they wrap a steel chair around Jake's neck, Deaner tells the rest of the group he wants this. Eric Young then tells Jake he made the biggest mistake of his life, and that everything will end for good at No Surrender.

We see another paid advertisement from Tony Schiavone and Tony Khan. Khan says he was "The Forbidden Door" all along and that he had to open himself to new experiences following KENTA's debut before tomorrow night's card for Dynamite is run down. Khan thanks Kenny Omega and Don Callis for everything they have done in Impact and changing him to the point that he opened "the forbidden door," and says he wants more ratings and more people showing up. He also says he will be back in Impact sooner rather than later to show that "the forbidden door" swings both ways.

We hear from The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson). Anderson says that while "The Cowboy" James Storm and Chris Sabin are good, they are not The Good Brothers and they are not the tag team champions, and tonight, they will do what they do best: beat them up.

XXXL (Larry D and Acey Romero), Tennille Dashwood and Kaleb with a K are in the ring.

Backstage, Matt Hardy tells Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) that they took control and put themselves at the front of the line, and says that he wants them to get the Impact Wrestling tag team titles before Scott D'Amore shows up.

Private Party are shocked, and Matt Hardy is livid.

Scott D'Amore moderates the contract signing between Tommy Dreamer and Rich Swann for their Impact World Championship match at No Surrender. Swann signs first, then passes the contract to Dreamer.

Dreamer says he had to create history by beating two of his best friends - Taz, who was the best man at his wedding, and Christian - and tells Swann that he knows that Swann has a bad leg and that he will not hold back when he goes for it. As Dreamer is about to sign the contract, Moose makes his entrance. Moose says he rarely gets angry, then says the match taking place pisses him off as Swann promised him a world title shot first and says he is taking the night off. D'Amore tells Moose to be a man of his word and stand down, and tells him that if he gets involved, he will suspend him indefinitely. Moose says he has no reason to interfere, as he can beat Swann and Dreamer. Moose says he has beaten Dreamer before, and that he can hurt Swann before as he is the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Swann says he is the real world champion, then Dreamer tells them to shut up and mentions a text message he got from Moose. Dreamer says Impact was about to cut Moose loose and that he needed Dreamer to light a fire under his ass, then says Moose does not get it and that everyone is united in their love for wrestling, saying he wrestles for the future, not for money. Dreamer says that he may get knocked down, but he will keep getting back up and that while he is still alive, he will continue to use his platform for good, and if he wins the Impact World Championship, his platform will be bigger. He tells Swann that it will be an honor to tear it up with him and help the world forget their troubles for three hours, and says he will leave the ring with him united in the love he has for the business. He signs the contract and shakes Swann's hand.

Anderson asks Gallows how many more times they have to continue proving that they are the draw of the entire wrestling world as he talks about how they set the wrestling world on fire Saturday and made headlines. Gallows says this is what they do and why they are the placeholders of the industry, and that they will keep the Impact World Tag Team Championships as long as they please. Suddenly, Chris Sabin shows up. Sabin says that while he knows The Good Brothers want to treat Impact like their own personal tour bus, he cannot tell if they are drunk or stupid, as The Motor City Machine Guns were not pinned when they lost the tag titles. Sabin demands a tag team title rematch, but Gallows tells him he has no business doing so because he has no tag team partner, but Sabin says he has a partner who knows a lot about tag team wrestling: "The Cowboy" James Storm. Storm introduces himself to The Good Brothers, then says he and Sabin want the tag team titles and tells them to put up or shut up. Suddenly, Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) - members of the All Elite Wrestling roster - show up. After talking about their six-man tag team match against Matt Sydal and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) tomorrow night on Dynamite, he announces that he has brought Private Party in for a warm-up match. Storm tells Matt Hardy this was a private conversation, not a private party, but Hardy says everyone else should be praising him for putting Impact Wrestling on his back and saved it from bankruptcy in 2016, and also mentions how he and Jeff Hardy lost the tag team titles in a "teleportation gone wrong" angle. He then says the warm-up match should be against The Good Brothers, and after mentioning how he and Jeff Hardy lost the tag titles, Gallows says Private Party and the team of Sabin and Storm should fight it out to see who faces them for the tag titles. Matt Hardy then says he will get his lawyers to meet with Impact's lawyers to make it official, then tells Private Party that they must get vicious and get the win.

Suddenly, Tommy Dreamer and Acey Romero show up, and Taya fesses up, saying she never supported Bravo's relationship with Rosemary. After Taya regrets that John E. Bravo didn't die and states that John E. Bravo is useless, she is hauled off. (As Taya is carried away by security, Tommy Dreamer, Acey Romero and John E. Bravo joke that Taya might do time in Jacksonville, Florida; Stanford, Connecticut or Baltimore, Maryland - references to All Elite Wrestling, WWE and Ring of Honor respectively.) Rosemary scares security away and confronts Taya for her behavior. Taya says she does not regret having Rosemary as a friend regardless of what happens. Taya is hauled off, and Crazzy Steve shows up.

Rich Swann shows up. Swann says he felt the pressure of being Impact World Champion and leading the company into war at Hard To Kill, saying he lives and thrives off that pressure and that he, Chris Sabin and Moose left their hearts in the ring. He admits he had some trust issues with Moose given what all Moose has done, but that his attention was on Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson). Now that Moose has his attention, he wants him to get in the ring so they can settle things. Moose shows up and reminds Swann that people make bad decisions when they are angry and that those decisions tend to make him angry, then says nothing between them will be settled until he gets a World title shot. Swann then gives Moose a World title shot right then and there, but Moose says he says when they will go at it because Swann is on his time. Swann asks what they will do now before starting a brawl.

Ace Austin also shows his disgust with having to face Matt Cardona instead of taking part in the X Division Championship match. Suddenly, Alexander shows up and says he will make sure Austin will not reach his potential and that opportunities are earned. After Alexander shoves Austin, Fulton grabs Alexander from behind.
