He says that the same has happened to Muhammad Ali and Colin MacGregor, but at the end of the day, people will appreciate what he has done and they will love him. He then says that one is dangerous until someone unbreakable comes around concerning Ken Shamrock, and that Sami Callihan will learn that words don't hurt and he does when they get in the ring. Elgin says that he will be Impact World Champion and that what he says happens.

Jake is convinced is a test and that Sami is his best friend as all three men agree they are for Ohio, by Ohio and taking over everything.

Moose quickly beats "The Natural" Chase Stevens. After the match, Moose continues to attack Chase Stevens, then grabs a steel chair and hits Stevens with it as more referees show up to tell Moose to stop. As Moose is about to put the chair around Stevens' head, Scott D'Amore shows up and says that if Moose wants a piece of TNA, all he has to do is turn around. He turns around and meets a top rope drop kick from Suicide, who has a more rugged outfit than usual.

We see a vignette from #CancelCulture (Rob Van Dam, Katie Forbes, Joseph P. Ryan), where Joseph P. Ryan is supposed to be a safe space, but it is ruined by the toxic masculinity of The Deaners, who will be cancelled next week. We then see The Deaners (Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake) on their farm. Cody Deaner doesn't seem to know why Cancel#Culture wants to cancel him, and has no idea why he is cancelled or what "cancelled" even means. All Cody knows is that he has to beat Joseph P. Ryan.

Sami Callihan hacks the show, who says that he is in the mood for isolation due to the state of the world and the Internet, and refuses to answer questions about his actions, saying it is for him to know and us to find out.

Su Yung and Havok fight each other with a sword and a crowbar, respectively, but Rosemary is able to grab the noose and choke Havok out. Suddenly, a man in a black mask breaks free of his bindings and hits Su Yung with a baseball bat. As the man is about to finish her off, Su Yung cuts him down with the sword and threatens to kill Mitchell before Havok wraps the noose around Su Yung's neck. Su Yung hits Havok with a crowbar, then gets the noose off as Havok grabs a hook. She takes the hook to Su Yung's mouth, but Rosemary locks in the Mandible Claw and is about to kill Havok with the sword when Mitchell congratulates her. As he says that Su Yung proved herself and that Havok is a disgrace, Mitchell then says it is time to remove them both from her life, and Mitchell's minions grab them both and send them into the Undead Realm. Before they know it, Su Yung and Havok are now in a seemingly endless desert area.

Michael Elgin and Taya Valkyrie beat Tessa Blanchard and Eddie Edwards.

In the Undead Realm, Su Yung and Havok are met by Rosemary, who offers to help them against Father James Mitchell if they trust her one more time.

After Taya says that she has lost everything, Rosemary tells her that she has lost everything as well, and says that it is after you have lost everything that you are free to do anything, and it should be cause for celebration, not mourning.

Backstage, RVD finds Katie Forbes, who says that nobody deserves to see them after recent opinion of them. RVD says people bought tickets, then Joey Ryan shows up, saying he gets where they are coming from.

Backstage, Gabi Loren interviews Jordynne Grace, who says that Taya Valkyrie tried to use loopholes to escape matches, but she is not like that and she will take on anyone. Suddenly, Madison Rayne shows up and takes offense to Jordynne taking her idea of issuing opening challenges, but says that Jordynne should be a fighting champion, as there are so much young, hungry talent waiting to dethrone her. She says that some of them need a locker room leader, then says that she is not challenging her. However, she will make sure Jordynne has a suitable opponent tonight.

In footage from Saturday, Rohit Raju says that his actions were all about making sure The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz) did not win the tag team titles, as he feels that they keep getting title shots that The Desi Hit Squad (Raju, Mahabali Shera). He says that The Desi Hit Squad now refuses to wait for opportunity and will now take what they want to become the tag team champions.

Rohit Raju beats Zachary Wentz despite Dezmond Xavier and Trey Miguel stopping Mahabali Shera from interfering. After the match, the mysterious "ICU" image shows up on the video screen.

Backstage, Ace Austin says that he has a little problem with tonight's match, as Tessa Blanchard has a shot at his title first and he has Option C on his side. When he wins tonight, nothing will matter, and he will soon become the youngest World champion of all time. He says that while Tessa is undeniable, he is inevitable, and he always has an ace up his sleeve.

We hear from oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Madman Fulton). Dave Crist says that they are losing everything by the week, and that Sami Callihan has gone missing. Dave feels they need a new leader, but Jake Crist says they are "Ohio strong," and that they will continue to take over everything.

Jordynne Grace retains the Impact Knockouts Championship against Miranda Alize.

Backstage, Gabi Loren interviews The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander). Page says that The North is the living, breahing embodiment and standard bearers of tag team wrestling in the world, and that the mold is being built around them. He says that other teams want to be built in the mold because it has worked before, and says he understands why TJP and Fallah Bahh want to be like them. Alexander tells TJP and Fallah Bahh to follow lightly, for they will eventually run into them if they follow in their footsteps long enough.

Bakstage, Havok is encountered by Rosemary. Havok tells Rosemary they have gone to war before, Rosemary calls Havok "ungrateful" and "unappreciative" of his efforts to give her a new playmate and get her away from Father James Mitchell. She then says that she has another present for her next week: Havok vs. Susie in a no-disqualification match.

From Dayton, Ohio, Eddie Edwards beats Michael Elgin with an unconventional pinfall attempt to win Match 4 of their best of five series, which is now tied two wins apiece (2-2).

D'Amore mentions the "T-N-Eh!" shirt that Petey is wearing, and Petey says it should be on Impact's online shop. Suddenly, Moose shows up and says TNA should stay in the past and that the attention should be on him. Petey tells Moose that he would not be here if it wasn't for the efforts of wrestlers like him, but Moose says he can be a star in any era just like he is now. As Moose names off TNA alumni Petey says the difference between the TNA alumni and Moose is that the old stars were champions.

Backstage, Johnny Swinger meets with Willie Mack, believing that their match together has made them a better team. Glenn Gilberti shows up and says Mack is not interested in teaming with him. Gilberti says Mack knows how to work, and unlike Mack, he has a gimmick like Swinger. Gilbert tells Swinger he should be teaming with someone like him, and Swinger is down with the idea.

We see footage of seven wrestlers meeting with Scott D'Amore for Gut Check. Safety is a key topic addressed as we see footage as the wrestlers try out in BCW's Can-Am Dojo.

Tessa Blanchard vs. Ace Austin for the Impact X Division Championship ends with Taya Valkyrie attacking Tessa from out of nowhere.

After demanding that management bring out "any undeserving shmuck" they found in the back, Mazzerati shows up to answer the challenge.

Madison Rayne beats Mazzerati.

Backstage, Gabi Loren interviews Jordynne Grace, who says that the Knockouts Championship means everything to her, and that she will be a fighting champion unlike Taya Valkyrie, starting with Havok at Sacrifice, as she does not run from anybody.
