Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for March 9, 2021

We hear from Chris Sabin and "The Cowboy" James Storm. Sabin tells Rohit Raju and Mahabali Shera that he will not get angry and that he will give them a calm, stern warning that they made a big mistake attacking them, for they are Impact Wrestling tag team royalty, and when they have their match, they will kick their ass. Storm says Sabin is the yin to his yang and that while Sabin is calmly going to tell Rohit and Shera what they will do to them, he will show them exactly what they will do and says that he is the kind of guy whom the devil curses his continued existence every time he wakes up in the morning.

We hear from Rohit Raju and Mahabali Shera. Rohit says they have everything under control, and admits that while they lost, they left Chris Sabin and "The Cowboy" James Storm. Rohit reminds Storm that he should be worried about Shera, for they have a past, while he and Sabin have a future. Shera says he remembers every slap Storm ever came him, and says that he will break Storm limb from limb. Rohit says they have a statement to make, for Storm and Sabin are on the marquees and the highlight reels, and they are taking and smashing everything for Storm and Sabin represent the glory they want. He says that in the future, everyone will talk about how he and Shera laid waste to Sabin and Storm as they teach them a lesson tonight.

We hear from Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Fulton says there has always been a plan and a direction, and that TJP has the unfortunate task of stepping into the ring with someone twice his size, and step one is to hurt TJP. Austin says that step two will be him swooping in and becoming a two-time X Division Champion. He says that TJP may have stopped his undefeated streak, but things have changed, and everything will come full circle.

We hear from TJP, who says that it may seem like he does not care - and he does not - and that he is not afraid of Madman Fulton because of what he has already done and Fulton will never done. TJP says he hsd had to take from the hands of people who have built just like Fulton, and hopes that Madman Fulton is willing to kill for the X Division Championship, for he is willing to die for it.

Backstage, Havok thanks Neveah for having her back last week. Neveah says she does not know what the future holds, and Havok proposes they bring their tag team together and see how Neveah feels when they take on Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb with a K at Sacrifice. Neveah is in for the match.

We hear from Sami Callihan, who says that Trey Miguel should have just listened to him, as he gave him every opportunity to walk away and quit, but Trey stuck around just a little bit longer. He then says that he has to make an example out of Trey and everyone he cares about, which is why he went to his wrestling school last week. He says he did mean for things to get messy, and says he just wanted to talk to him like a man, but his hands were tied and Trey sealed their fates. He then says he found someone with potential and passion while he was there, and says that one cannot teach passion.

TJP beats Madman Fulton. After the match, "Inevitable" Ace Austin hits TJP from behind with the X Cup trophy.

Jazz beats Tasha Steelz with an STF after Jordynne Grace pulls Kiera Hogan off the ring apron.

Suddenly, Susan shows up and challenges ODB to a match in response to ODB tearing her sleeves off in their last match, and says she will be alone as she doesn't need helpt o beat her. ODB accepts.

Backstage, Trey Miguel runs into Sam, the student from Trey's school that Sami Callihan talked to. Sam says that Sami sees potential in him, and that Sami was right about Trey when he challenges Trey to a match and Trey refuses.

Backstage, Brian Myers meets with Scott D'Amore. Myers says that if he fires Eddie Edwards, he can make their legal battle go away. D'Amore says the more Myers has to argue, the less of a case he has. He then says that Myers and Eddie can settle things in a "Hold Harmless" Match, which is a no-rules match, at Sacrifice. Myers irritably walks away.

Before the next match, Sami Callihan calls Trey Miguel a quitter, and says the only thing he has done correctly is train the person he is about to bring out, who is now his protege and has the passion that Trey lacks: Sam Beale.

Trey Miguel quickly beats Sam Beale by submission. After the match, Trey confronts Sami Callihan only for Sami to teleport from the stage to the ring, where he hits Sam Beale with a package piledriver. Trey goes after Sami, but Sami teleports out of the arena.

Backstage, Chris Sabin says he and "The Cowboy" James Storm have known Eric Young for a long time and that Eric disgusts him. Storm says that to kill a snake, you cut its head off, and if they have to go through Joe Doering and Deaner to get to him, they will do it at Sacrifice. Storm makes it clear to Eric Young that they will kick his ass. Suddenly, Jake Something shows up, saying he knows Eric Young will be at ringside and wants to have their back. Young and Sabin accept his help.

Scott D'Amore oversees the contract signing between The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) and the team of Juice Robinson and David Finlay. D'Amore, knowing how the drinking between all four men will end, leaves them to sign the contract and bring it back to them. As they keep drinking shots of Talkin' Shop Whiskey, both team keep daring each other to have another shot before signing the contract. Everyone signs the contract before having a third shot, then Juice and Finlay throw their shots into The Good Brothers' faces. This leads to a brawl in the conference room between both teams.

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.

He also tells them that their match will be a no-disqualification before getting them out of his office.

XXXL (Larry D and Acey Romero), Tennille Dashwood and Kaleb with a K are in the ring. Larry D talks about his and Acey Romero's match against Decay (Rosemary and Crazzy Steve) at No Surrender, and despite having been in jail, he does not hit a woman, and has a solution in that in Tennille. Tennille asks what kind of tag team name "Decay" is, saying they need a dentists, and says that nobody is freakish enough to tag with them at No Surrender.

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 thanks Swann and D'Amore, saying there are people in the locker room more deserving than him of a World title shot and that he wants to seize every opportunity. 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.

He wants to be Maxel's debut opponent so he can teach him some respect. Matt Hardy sanctions the match, then brings in a referee, then declares the match a no-disqualification match.
