George Iceman unveils a cardboard stand of Ash by Elegance wearing a Knockouts Tag Team championship belt, and does the same for Heather. As Iceman says they both deserve it because of how beautiful they are, Ash says that she is honored to be the a newly crowned champion before the fans start booing her. Ash starts thanking all the people who have made her beautiful, and thanks her private Starbucks barista for giving her the energy to deal with the "classless people" in the crowd before personally thanking Iceman. Heather is also given the chance to thank people, and thanks Ash and the Elegance brand for making this possible despite not having been in TNA for a year yet. Spitfire suddenly show up, and Dani Luna wonders what they are even interrupting before saying this is illusion, not elegance. Jody Threat says Ash and Heather are just a bunch of Barbie dolls who cannot keep up, and says they will not become champions. Ash says that Spitfire are undeserving of the Knockouts tag titles and belong on the clearance rack, then she and Heather brawl with Spitfire only to get tossed out of the ring. Spitfire then take the cardboard Heather standee and tear it up, and Iceman and Heather beg them not to destroy the Ash standee. That standee is given a Pressure Drop before being beheaded.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Sami Callihan and PCO. Sami states that tonight, two monsters will go at it with one of the greatest tag teams in professional wrestling history in The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), and to quote Nietzsche, those who fight monsters must ensure they do not become one.

We see footage of The Northern Armory (Judas Icarus and Travis Williams) attacking Mike Santana last Saturday at Prestige Wrestling.

The Northern Armory ("The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) heads to the ring. Josh Alexander announces that Mike Santana has been talking tough and claiming that he will take his spot at the standard bearer of TNA, but Santana has sustained an injury and will not be able to face him at Genesis. All of a sudden, Santana comes out of the crowd and does not seem to be injured. Santana makes fun of Alexander's bald head, and says that while Alexander caught him slipping, and says that if Alexander really knew him, he would have known that he would come at him header than ever. He says he has gone through a whole System and The Northern Armory by himself because there is no quit in his blood, and that at Genesis, he and Alexander will have an "I Quit" Match. Alexander says that Santana's pride is getting in the way of his better judgment, and that Santana will never make him quit.

Joe Hendry heads to the ring for his face-to-face meeting with "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth. Nemeth shows up not long afterwards. Hendry says they have stood across the ring from each other countless times and that everything has been said apart from one thing: he has to win the World Championship. Hendry says it is on him to take the World title from Nemeth and start a new era in TNA. Nemeth agrees with Hendry and says everyone still believes in Hendry, then says he knows what the World Championship means and that he does not think Hendry is ready. He says that Hendry has earned his way to the World Championship, then clears the air with footage from Bound For Glory of JBL clotheslining Hendry and punching Ryan Nemeth. He says that anything that happens between himself and John Layfield is on Layfield, and that he had nothing to do with the attack on Hendry that night. Hendry wants to ask one last question when all of a sudden, Ryan Nemeth shows up and tells Nic Nemeth that Hendry is not his friend, but a snake who is trying to get in his head and only caring about himself. Hendry says he has wasted enough time on him, and Ryan tells Hendry to say what he has to say to him to his face. Hendry goes for a Standing Ovation on Ryan, but he gets superkicked by Nic.

Moose heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Moose says that ever since he became X Division Champion, people have asked him what he will do with the title, and that since he is already a three-time World Champion, he will make the X Division Championship the most important in TNA. He says that "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is one of the best wrestlers today, yet everybody is talking about and not Nemeth. He calls Joe Hendry the hottest act in wrestling, but he does not have a championship like he does. Moose says that the tag titles are held by the most decorated team in wrestling in The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy), but people are not talking about them because they are too busy chanting his name. He then says he does not need the fans chanting his name or their respect and support, for when he is done with the X Division, he will go down as the greatest X Division Champion of all time. Suddenly, Cody Deaner shows up and tells Moose to shut his mouth, as the fans helped him find his way and his love for professional wrestling when he let them make decisions for him. Moose calls the fans "imbeciles" and "idiots," and says that since Deaner has started listening to them, he has not won a match. Deaner says he can win a match with the people behind him and even beat Moose for the X Division Championship. Moose laughs and says this will be the easiest decision ever before booting Deaner in the face and calling him for a ref.

Moose retains the TNA X Division Championship against Cody Deaner.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Fir$t Cla$$ (AJ Francis and KC Navarro) and Tasha Steelz. Navarro says they feel "pretty damn blessed" tonight as they are all future champions, and Tasha says tonight will be a small taste of what she will give Masha Slamovich when she beats her for the Knockouts World Championship.

Matt says he will prove that The Hardys are still great when they win the tag team titles. Ace Austin says this will be ABC's first that they had to take the torch from The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley), and they will have to take it again at Bound For Glory.

Steve Maclin heads to the ring. Maclin mentions how Eric Young got taken out last week and how he could not do anything about it, then calls out "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander so he can get an explanation for his actions out of him. The Northern Armory (Alexander, Judas Icarus, Travis Williams) shows up, and Alexander calls Maclin one of the nastiest, self-serving scumbags TNA has even seen, and does not buy Maclin's being a hero and having a change of heart. He tells Maclin that it is not worth it to cater to the fans, as he has learned this the hard way, for even as he had big match after big match and became the top guy, the fans turned their backs on him as soon as it all crashed down. Alexander asks why the fans should believe in a failure like him, Maclin says he has been himself since day one and that it is up to the fans to decide, then says that Alexander was the one to believe in him and tell him he was not just some outsider or a failure.

When Moose fails to show, Santana heads backstage to look for him only to be attacked from behind by Moose, who tells Santana to be careful what he wishes for.

Backstage, Matthew Rehwoldt hosts a sit-down meeting between Jordynne Grace and Masha Slamovich. Jordynne Grace says she could not get a hold of Masha all week, and wants to know why this is the first time she is hearing about what Masha feels the way she does. Masha admits she came off too strong and apologizes, but she did not know how else to tell her after watching her defeat challenger after challenger and make history while she says that she stood behind her as a friend. Jordynne wants to know how any of this is her fault, but Masha says she had to do what she had to do to make her way to the top, but Jordynne failed to take her to the top with her, which is why she had Jordynne in her corner. Jordynne says that when Masha first showed up, she was undefeated for nine months until she beat her again and again, and she knows that this has affected Masha, because every time she had an open challenge and Masha's music did not hit, she was relieved, because Masha became harder and harder to beat and Masha pushed her to her limit, making her the woman that she is now. Masha says she has grown through this time, too, as she watched her destroy person after person, and it has only made her want this more. She says she may not have been able to beat Jordynne then, but she can do it now, and asks Jordynne how she will feel when her music does hit, she shows up, and they stand face-to-face in the ring. Jordynne says she is happy Masha found the best version of herself, as Masha is one of her closest friends, but she has to beat her just like she did two years ago. Masha says that at Bound For Glory, the Knockouts Championship is coming with her no matter what.

Frankie Kazarian guests on commentary for the next match. Matt Cardona is surrounded by security guards before the next match.

Joe Hendry runs into the ring and fights Kazarian, and he and Nemeth soon send Kazarian packing.

Final iMPACT! - iMPACT! recap for April 11, 2024

The show begins with "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander and Alex Hammerstone going at in in and out of the ring, with Alexander getting busted open in the process. Security has to restore order, and Tommy Dreamer also shows up to calm Alexander down. Tommy Dreamer tells Josh Alexander to head to the back, as he has something to say to Hammerstone personally and Alexander has Hammerstone at Rebellion. Dreamer says that Alexander is the face of TNA because he has worked hard to do it, and also says that he is a big reason that Hammerstone is in TNA, as he feels Hammerstone is everything that Alexander is. He says that Alexander and Hammerstone gave it everything they had, and that Hammerstone had to take a shortcut despite his talent. He tells Hammerstone that the TNA crowd is the most honest he will ever work in front of, and tells him not to take his path when he has such a good legacy. Dreamer says that tonight will be one hell of a show before thanking Hammerstone for being part of the next generation of performers in TNA. Both men shake hands, then Hammerstone attacks Dreamer from behind before putting him in the Torture Rack. Hammerstone retreats when Alexander runs back to the ring. Alexander says that if Hammerstone will not listen to Dreamer, then they can settle things in a Last Man Standing Match at Rebellion.

Crazzy Steve retains the TNA Digital Media Championship against Laredo Kid by disqualification. During the match, Steve tries to pull Laredo Kid's mask off, and this angers Laredo Kid enough to keep pelting Crazzy Steve with elbows in the corner to the point that when the referees tells Laredo Kid to let him out of the corner, Laredo Kid shoves the ref, causing the disqualification. After the match, Crazzy Steve tries to hit Laredo Kid with the Digital Media title, but Laredo Kid is able to fend him off and make him retreat.

Backstage, Alex Shelley apologizes to KUSHIDA and Chris Sabin. He says doing things on his own did not go as planned and does not excuse how he has treated them, and realizes KUSHIDA threw in the towel in his best interest. He also tells Sabin that they are better as a group. Sabin says that brothers fight, but also need to hug.

First Class (AJ Francis and Rich Swann) beat ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) after AJ Francis grabs Ace Austin by the foot and Rich Swann pins Austin with a schoolkid pin while grabbing the tights. Hendry says that two weeks ago, he wanted to give Swann the opportunity to explain why he aligned with AJ Francis, but instead, he gave him the equivalent of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme where he changes the ending to call AJ Francis "Fat Uncle Phil." He also says he has spoken with Director of Authority Santino Marella and states that he has gotten a one-on-one match with Rich Swann at Rebellion.

Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella is met by Ash By Elegance and her concierge George Iceman regarding the Knockouts Championship match contract signing, saying Steph de Lander won on Ash's behalf. Santino says he is not buying it, and walks away.

Backstage, Mustafa Ali meets with The Grizzled Young Vets (Zack Gibson and James Drake), stating that a massive injustice is about to occur with Jake Something having an X Division title match against him at Rebellion. As Zack Gibson says that they do not pick fights with people like Jake Something, Jake Something shows up and says that the match is happening whether Mustafa or the Grizzled Young Vets like it or not.

Director of Authority Santino Marella oversees the contract signing between Steph de Lander and Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts World Championship at Rebellion. De Lander is brought out first alongside Matt Cardona, followed by Jordynne Grace. Matt Cardona grabs the microphone and puts Steph de Lander on the pedestal before proclaiming that Steph de Lander, who signs the contact, will be the new Knockouts World Champion. Jordynne says she appreciates Cardona and De Lander for being here and being confident enough to think they can take something she has worked so hard for, and that she has earned every accolade that she has gotten in TNA. After Jordynne asks if Cardona will be doing all the talking when Cardona brings up beating her for the Digital Media title, De Lander says she has so many accolades that she has no time to list them all. She also says that when TNA called for the recent 8-4-1 Match, she took that call, then proclaims that Jordynne Grace has been distracted as of late and questions if her head is in the game and if her focus is to keep the Knockouts World Championship. Jordynne says representing TNA has always been her top priority and that she defends against every challenger, including De Lander, and that she wears so many hats as she prides herself in outworking everyone. She says she will outwork Steph de Lander to keep her title and her legacy in TNA because she has already beaten both De Lander and Cardona as well as Chelsea Green and she is more than happy to do it again, because "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" When Cardona takes offense to Jordynne calling De Lander a bitch, Jordynne says the "bitch" comment was directed towards him. Jordynne signs the contract, and when De Lander shakes her hand, Jordynne refuses to let go of her hand, and this leads to a brawl in which Santino is inadvertently knocked out when Jordynne back elbows Cardona into him. This leads to Cardona and De Lander double-teaming Jordynne before De Lander choke slams Jordynne through a table.

We see another vignette for Jonathan Gresham, who says that he has three masks. One is the one he shows the world, the second is the one he only shows to close friends, and the third mask has not been shown to anyone because it is the truest reflection of who he is. We then see a tree, with someone talking about how they see a tree and how they were told to cut it down.

Moose beats Trent Seven. After the match, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) surrounds "Speedball" Mike Bailey as he checks on Trent Seven, and when Bailey kicks Eddie, the numbers game takes over.

Mustafa Ali guests on commentary for the next match. Before the next match, John Skyler states that Jason Hotch is in the Rebellion Referendum to show support and is not entering to challenge Mustafa Ali, but to keep everyone else from earning an X Division title shot, as only Mustafa Ali is fit to be the X Division Champion. He is soon interrupted by Kevin Knight.

Jake Something beats Jason Hotch, Kevin Knight, Leon Slater, Chris Bey and Alan Angels in the Rebellion Referendum to earn an X Division title shot against Mustafa Ali, much to Mustafa's chagrin.

We hear from Dirty Dango, who talks about the one time he bought a Range Rover and how the wrestling dirtsheets will not even write about him. He talks about how "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander only beat him because his shoelaces were untied and calls Windsor, Ontario, Canada "Detroit's stupid cousin" due to its cold temperatures, then says everyone only cares about five-star matches. He says that one is only as good as who they surround themselves with, then says that he has two anchors holding him down right now. When he gets angry at Oleg Prudius for losing to Josh Alexander, Prudius comes close to beat him up.

Backstage, Gia Miller gets an interview with AJ Francis and Rich Swann. Francis tells Gia to address all questions to him, then says that everything will be explained next week before he and Swann leave to catch a first-class flight.

Deaner is in the ring. He says that for the last couple of years, he has not been himself, and when he looks at all the decision they have made, he realizes that they have all led to failure. He blames himself for all of those failures and poor decision, and that the best decision he ever made was falling in love with professional wrestling. He says that the fans have the same passion that he does, but he has since lost that passion and he can only get it back with the help of the fans. He says that from now on, every decision that he makes will be in the fans' hands. The Grizzed Young Vets (Zack Gibson and James Drake) show up for their match, and Zack Gibson asks Deaner if he is ill and if he thinks anybody cares about him or his "pathetic" life, then says he should be taking advice from them, not from the fans. He also says that he should be more like the fans and hang up the boots, because they always give up on their dreams and he offers nothing to professional wrestling just like them. Gibson then tells Deaner to "jog on" and leave the ring so that the professionals can go to work. Deaner then says he made a promise to these people, then asks the fans if he should leave or stay. The fans make it clear he should stay. Gibson tells Deaner should not be taking advice from people claiming benefits and threatens that he and James Drake will do something to him that he will not enjoy if he does not leave. Deaner says the people have spoken and fights The Grizzled Young Vets, and this leads to Time Splitters (KUSHIDA and Alex Shelley) running into the ring, getting the next match started.

Time Splitters (KUSHIDA and Alex Shelley) beat The Grizzed Young Vets (Zack Gibson and James Drake) with a Hoverboard Lock from KUSHIDA to Drake after Shelley superkicks Drake.

In footage from earlier today, Tom Hannifan interviews Hammerstone. Hammerstone says signing to TNA has been a long time in the making since he had his first TNA match on Xplosion in 2018, and he was told he was not ready, which put a chip on his shoulder. He says that he travelled all over the world to become ready for this, and dominated everywhere. He says he had to come swim in the ocean after being a big fish in a small pond, and he could not be more excited to face Josh Alexander due to how good he was. Hammerstone admits he had nerves, but confidence breaks nerves, and he was ready. He also says that Alexander had to roll out of the ring to beat him at Hard to Kill. On the subject of his win at Sacrifice, Hammerstone says he does not have to prove he is the better wrestler, and that he proved he was smarter at Sacrifice as he also broke Alexander's spirit and took his headgear as a trophy. He says that his headgear will be a reminder of Alexander's loss to him, and if Alexander wants another match, he will give him another reminder.

Crazzy Steve retains the TNA Digital Media Championship against PCO. During the match, Kon shows up with a bunch of weapons, and PCO beats him up. Crazzy Steve soon gouges PCO's eyes from the inside of the ring, then grabs a chain thrown into the ring by Kon, which distracts the referee as Kon slams PCO into some metal folding chairs and rolls PCO back into the ring. Crazzy Steve wins the match and retains with a schoolkid pin.

Backstage, we hear from Decay (Rosemary and Havok). Havok says they have their eyes on Spitfire (Dani Luna and Jody Threat), and Rosemary says they have a contractually obligate rematch for the Knockouts Tag Team titles.

Eric Young heads to the ring. Eric Young says he was so close to winning but came up short at Sacrifice, and that he promised to keep moving forward and he is proud of that. He says that Moose has the biggest bullseye in the world on his back and that they are not through, then tells Frankie Kazarian to watch what he wishes for and that he has made a mistake getting his attention. He says that if Kazarian wants to be "heavy metal," then they can square off in a Full Metal Mayhem match at Rebellion.

Ash By Elegance beats Seleziya Sparx. Ash By Elegance punches Seleziya a few times after the match, then her concierge George Iceman hands him a metal folding chair to choke Seleziya out with it. She then goes up top for another Rarified Air, but Xia Brookside show up to stop Ash. Ash leaves the ring, and calls Xia Brookside "trash" on the way out.

"The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth heads to the ring. Nemeth talks about how he slid into the ring and stood face-to-face with Moose on his first night in TNA, and promised that he will become TNA World Champion. He also says that he respects the locker room too much to be handed a title shot and that he wants to earn it, and talks about his first challenge in Steve Maclin, who said that he would run him out of TNA only for Nemeth to prove he was here to stay. He says that he was going to keep fighting and bide his time until the fans really wanted him, but Moose could not wait, and now, because of his action, he has a World title shot at Rebellion. As Nemeth proclaims that he will not let this slip through his fingers and that he will walk out World Champion, The System (Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, Brian Myers, Moose) shows up. Moose says there is no denying how well-accomplished Nemeth is, and that throughout his career, he has defeated some of the greatest of all time. He then says that if anyone knows anything about Nemeth's career, they know that the one thing he has never been able to beat is The System.

Jordynne Grace retains the TNA Knockouts World Championship against Tasha Steelz.

As the brawl goes on, John Skyler tries to introduce the X Division title as a weapon, but as Sabin knocks Skyler down to take it away, Mustafa takes out Sabin, then blasts Kevin Knight with the title belt as the referee is dealing with the brawl. After the match, The Good Hands hold Kevin Knight down so that Mustafa Ali can hit a top rope 450 on Kevin Knight's arm. Alex Shelley soon runs in with a crutch and chases Mustafa and The Good Hands away.

We see a video package of the feud between Xia Brookside and Tasha Steelz and the events leading up to Xia vs. Tasha vs. Jordynne Grace for the TNA Knockouts World Championship at Sacrifice.

Ash by Elegance beats Angel Blue.

We hear from Steve Maclin from his hotel room. He says "The Wanted Man" Nic Nemeth is nothing but a phony and a liar who does not want to work from the bottom to the top and show up when he wants when he is here week in and week out, and says Nemeth fears him and keeps ducking him. He says that if Nemeth will not show up, then he will not show up, and as he dares Nemeth to face him at Sacrifice, he is suddenly attacked in his hotel room. We then find out the attacker is none other than Nic Nemeth.

Before the next match, John Skyler says time split when Mustafa Ali showed up and showed the difference between his vision and Chris Sabin's, then says The Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA) should split up as a tag team when they lose to The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch).

Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA) beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) with the Hoverboard Lock from KUSHIDA to Skyler.

We hear from Dirty Dango, Alpha Bravo and Oleg Prudius. Dango says the three of them will dominate TNA and its tag team division and go down in the TNA Hall of Fame, then plugs his wrestling school. Dango then wonders why "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander wears headgear and says that the "indy mark nerds" will want to join their wrestling school when they see him in the main event.

Backstage, The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) apologize to Mustafa Ali before Mustafa tells them that he has underestimated Time Splitters (Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA) and that he needs to re-think their match at Sacrifice. He then replaces The Good Hands with The Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake). Mustafa thanks The Good Hands for their service, then he, his personal security and The Grizzled Young Veterans leave.

Dani Luna beats Masha Slamovich.

PCO quickly beats Alan Angels. After the match, Kon comes after PCO with a metal folding chair. This leads to a brawl between both men, and Angels tries to reunite with Kon only for Kon to snap his neck. Both PCO and Kon then brawl with chairs, then brawl their way to the back.

We hear from Crazzy Steve. He says what who he is is simple, but what he is is more complicated. He says he is a artist, wrestler and teacher or the delicate art of misery, and that one must instill hope only to take it away. He says that this is why he defends the Digital Media title when he gets in the ring, and regardless of his opponent, the story of their life will be their death.

Eric Young heads to the ring. Eric says Sacrifice is not just a show name, but a way of life, and that he has given his heart and soul to TNA and will do it again, and would give a thousand lifetimes to stand where he is standing now. He says that he desires the TNA World Championship and that Moose is holding it, and guarantees that he will keep coming forward, and while Moose may be one of the best to ever do it while all is said and do it and may destroy him, the dead don't get deader, and he will play for keeps. Moose shows up and calls Eric a world class maniac, as he has "all the stupid idiots" believing "all the bullcrap" that is coming out of his mouth, yet he has been in TNA for a very long time, and at Sacrifice, his time is over. He says Eric can bring all his passion and determination, but the outcome will still be the same and he will still be TNA World Champion. Moose says he has done his homework and that he knows Eric loves a good fight much like he does, and says they might as well go at it right now in a New Orleans street fight. He teases getting in the ring, but decides against it, saying that is not how the system works. Eric is suddenly attacked from behind by Brian Myers and Eddie Edwards. Myers and Eddie hold Eric down so that Moose can hit him with the Spear, then Alisha Edwards shows up with a chain and hands it to Moose. Moose wraps it around himself and his right shoulder and hits Eric with another Spear to lay him out, then goes for one more before ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) show up with metal folding chairs and chase The System (Eddie, Alisha, Myers, Moose) away.

He says he is not like everybody else and that he is not crazy and is self-aware of all of his actions. He says that he saw an ember of what a raging bull in Black Taurus' eyes and that he was going to do the same thing that everyone has done to him and leave him abandoned, alone and forgotten. He says that at Victory Road, he is going to decapitate and decimate the unholy alliance that was once the enemy.

We hear from Tommy Dreamer, who says that he will put everything on the line tonight against Kenny King because Kenny is the opposite of everything he has ever been. Tommy talks about his history with professional wrestling at tonight's venue and how his parents were there for every moment, then Heath shows up and is amazed that Tommy is putting his life and career on the line tonight when he is respected by everyone, and asks him to take a step, swallow his pride and reassess this, as he has helped so many people out and now may not be the right time. Tommy takes this as a sign that he should go on with this and thanks Heath before leaving.

JOYA (Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura) beat Champagne Singh and Shera.

Backstage, we hear from Steve Maclin and Bully Ray. He says that everything they planned is right there.

He says Maclin has it easy while he has to face a monster that nobody can keep down, and tells Maclin to trust him and be a good soldier, but Maclin says Bully is in his own head. He says he will follow Bully's lead, but if he has to take care of himself, he will do it.

We hear from "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw. She says that the Shaw-tourage (Shaw, Jai Vidal, Savannah Evans) got screwed out of the Knockouts tag titles, but at the battle royal, they took care of MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly) and showed that they are a threat to the Knockouts division. She tells MK Ultra to keep a hold on their titles, because they are taking back what is theirs.

Trey says the tag team titles represent a lot of history that others have tried to keep them from, and says that they will make their own history. The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) show up, and Skyler says they deserve a tag team title shot. Wentz says they are focused on The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley), and Hotch proposes they get a tag team title match set up for after Victory Road. Wentz says "Maybe," as they still have to be champions for that to happen.

Alisha says she has been in IMPACT for a very long time and that everyone thought she was "just a champion's wife," but now things are champion. She says that she thought she needed to change Eddie, but she realized she needed to change, and she beat nine other Knockouts in a battle royal to become #1 contender for the Knockouts World Championship. Alisha says she will become the next Knockouts Champion at Victory Road, then signs the contract. Trinity signs the contract, but Alisha is disappointed that Trinity does not even have the decently to reply back. Trinity asks Alisha if she is talking to her, as she cannot understand her accent. This leads to a "Boston Sucks" chant, then Trinity admits that while she was excited to take on the Knockouts division, she has overlooked Alisha. She then says that Alisha has gotten her attention and that she has earned her opportunity, but Alisha says she does not need to hear what she has earned as Trinity has been given everything. Trinity says she could have gone anywhere, but she chose IMPACT because it is where the fiercest competition lies. Eddie interrupts Trinity, telling her not to wave the IMPACT banner him and saying that he and Alisha have been around longer than everybody, and Alisha says Trinity is jealous that she will have Eddie backing her up while Trinity's man can't even be here if he wanted to. Trinity says Alisha has some nerve after turning her back on her company before calling Eddie "Mr. Alisha" and telling him to fall back and stop waving the banner.

Dirty Dango beats Crazzy Steve in the BTI match following a thumb to the eye. After the match, Dango says that even when he wins, he still hates professional wrestling, and that something he will love is putting an end to "that stupid puppet show" Director of Authority Santino Marella next month in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He says Santino should be ashamed of himself for putting on a puppet show, then Santino shows up and tells Dirty Dango that he has had enough of him and that he will give him the beating of a lifetime after what he said about his family.

Gia Miller interviews Lio Rush. Lio Rush says he is not here to make friends, and he does not care if people do not like what he did last week. As he says he is here for the X Division Championship, "The National Treasure" Nick Aldis confronts Lio Rush for getting in his business, saying that he is here to make history - not friends - and that their championship aspirations are the only thing he has in common. He says that the two of them have to get the win tonight and go their separate ways before telling him not to let his ego or any momentum he has get in either his way or his own way.

Backstage, Frankie Kazarian congratulates Eddie Edwards on winning tonight by any costs before saying that it is not how Killer Kowalski trained either of them.

Rich Swann and Sami Callihan beat Champagne Singh and Shera.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Moose and Brian Myers. Myers says he and Moose are the best team in IMPACT and that they are focused and ready for Slammiversary, and Moose says Rich Swann and Sami Callihan may have had reps, but they do not have the real competition that they will give them at Slammiversary. Moose says he has something to prove, and while Rich Swann beat him, they will beat Rich Swann and Sami Callihan.

We hear from Dirty Dango. He says that he hadn't watched pro wrestling since "it was cool" in 1998, and when he got into the business, he was let down by how much it had changed. He says that the nearby concrete buckling is more fun than getting in the ring with someone who is nervous and will injure him, and tells the IMPACT roster to go back to school. He calls Director of Authority Santino Marella "a one-hit wonder" who is still living in 2005 and is the wrestling equivalent of "Yoko Ono performing in concert and yodeling the whole time." He also calls Heath, who he will face next week, as "another hanger-on" who will never get the jump on him again before telling him he should find work at Home Depot, and says the last thing Heath should be doing is becoming the next Santino Marella.

We hear from ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey). Austin says Slammiversary is on the horizon and that they have the match to look before, and while the deck is stacked against them, it is nothing they cannot handle, and Bey says they will do the courtesy of teaching Moose and Brian Myers the alphabet. Suddenly, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) show up wanting a shot at the tag team titles, but Bey tells them that while they have won tag team gold elsewhere, they have never won it in IMPACT, and that they need to go to the back of the line. Zachary proposes a match between himself and Bey where if he wins, The Rascalz get a shot at the tag team titles. Bey likes the idea and accepts the challenge.

Backstage, PCO is seen playing with live jumper cables while Scott D'Amore enjoys what is going on.

We see a recap of the sights and sounds of Wagga Wagga, Australia from IMPACT Wrestling's recent Australian show as well as scenes from a meeting at Indie School, an alternate school for those with mental health and traumatic issues.

Backstage, Trinity meets with "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo to thank her for having her back last week, but questions the speed at which he helped her out. Trinity says she does not need anyone's help, and Deonna says she does not need anybody's help, either. She proposes that they prove that next week when she issues a championship open challenge so she does not forget that. Trinity says she will not forget if Deonna educates herself before Slammiversary.

Before the next match, John Skyler says picked a fight with Scott D'Amore, who has taken a leave of absence from IMPACT Wrestling, only to have a fight with PCO, who has taken a leave of absence from reality. He says that monsters are usually scary, but after looking at the crowd, he cannot tell between PCO and "the mutants out here in Georgia" before stating that PCO will be the monster who is slain by "these good hands."

PCO beats The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch) in a two-on-one handicap match. After the match, Jason Hotch confronts Scott D'Amore, and when he pokes D'Amore in the chest, D'Amore takes his glasses and watch off. Hotch slaps D'Amore, but D'Amore fights back and hits him with the Sky High. Before he can hit Hotch with a Canadian Destroyer, Bully Ray shows up, and Steve Maclin shows up from behind and hits PCO with a low blow before smacking D'Amore with a chair. Bully Ray gets in the ring and hits both PCO and D'Amore with the chair before Maclin handcuffs D'Amore to the top rope. Maclin instructs Hotch to get a table out from underneath the ring, and a handcuff D'Amore spits at Maclin before Bully Ray throws D'Amore's watch at him. D'Amore can only watch as Buly Ray and Maclin put PCO through the table. Bully Ray then teases hitting D'Amore with a chair before he and Maclin throw PCO down an exit ramp leading backstage. D'Amore then throws a chair at Bully, and Bully Ray and Maclin briefly surround the ring before leaving and attacking PCO backstage. Bully chokes PCO with the chair before Maclin pours battery acid into PCO's mouth. Bully Ray then pours two bottles' worth of lighter fluid before lighting him up with a match. A flaming PCO gets up and stumbles a few feet before falling onto the cameraperson.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Scott D'Amore as D'Amore frantically searches for PCO.

"The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw beats Courtney Rush with a schoolkid pin while putting her feet on the ropes for leverage after the distraction by both Savannah Evans - which is thwarted by Jessicka - and Jai Vidal.

Backstage, Kenny King and Sheldon Jean are constantly reminded of the "Stripper Kenny" video from last week. Joe Hendry shows up, and Kenny King tells Hendry that he made his life hell after last week and that he will make his life rough. Sheldon Jean says he cannotb elieve anything that comes out of Hendry's mouth and that he and Kenny always back up what they say, and that Hendry has nobody in his corner. Hendry suddenly summons Yuya Uemura, and Kenny and Sheldon leave. Hendry asks Uemura what the Japanese word for "champion" is, to which Uemura answers "Champion."

Lio Rush and "The National Treasure" Nick Aldis beat The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) with a low blow from Lio Rush to Chris Sabin as Sabin goes after Aldis before hitting the Final Hour for the win.

Pete Pranica guests on commentary this week.

Tim Bosby retains the Memphis Wrestling Internet Championship against Kenway.

We hear from Van Viciouss, who says that the championship committee finds a way to screw him over and stacks the odds on The Hollywood Clique ever week, and they have booked Jimmy Blaylock in a match that has seen security get hurt and Blaylock in the hospital. After stating that Blaylock may not be able to walk again, he states that he has fired Jason Vain as bodyguard before stating he will show "Big Swole" Justin Cole what the real deal is.

"Big Swole" Justin Cole quickly beats Van Viciouss.

We hear from Reverend Ash Taylor, who brags about Brother Bruce's victory last week before mentioning the $100 bill that has been put in his collection plate, as it means there is another follower on the righteous path and another obstacle Ray Collins cannot overcome. He then tells Ray Collins to get on his knees and pray.

"The Goddess of the Night" Nyxx retains the Memphis Wrestling Women's Championship against Cassandra Golden after Ellsworth Enterprises (Matt Williams and Storybook Prince Gaston) show up and Big John Dalton and Mackenzie Morgan arrive to stop them. As the referee is preoccupied with this, Nyxx rakes Cassandra Golden in the eyes to retain.

It is announced that Trinity - formerly known as Naomi in WWE - will debut with a live microphone tonight.

Brian Myers and Moose beat Bhupinder Gujjar and Yuya Uemura.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviws Steve Maclin, Champagne Singh and Shera. Maclin says everything he does is tactical and that he knows there are shots coming in every directions. He says allying with someone makes sense, then Singh says rubbing elbows with the World Champion is something money cannot buy. Maclin says tonight's main event is not going to be a six-man tag match, as there is nobody dumb enough to tag with PCO. Singh then gives Gia Miller some money.

Backstage, Dirty Dango tries to get to the bottom of who attacked Director of Authority Santino Marella, and Joe Hendry appears. Dango admits that he lost the tuft of hair that Santino gave him as he focuses on the wall of pictures (which also has George Michael, Tyler Breeze, Tomko and Larry D on it), and says it all leads to Mike Tenay. Joe Hendry mentions Trey Miguel not being happy with being put in a Triple Threat Match that he got angry.

Before the next match, Deaner tells Sami Callihan that he made the biggest mistake of his life when he smashes him in the face with a baseball bat. He then tells the fans that if they think he deserved it, then they are giving Callihan a false sense of hope that he can withstand the challenge in front of him right now. Deaner then tells Callihan that he has not accepted a challenge to face him, but a challenge to fight Kon, who then attacks him. Angels then hits Callihan with the ground and pound before the match.

Sami Callihan vs. Kon ends when The Design's (Deaner, Angels, Kon) army of people in yellow hoodies swarms the ring and attacks Callihan. Deaner then calls off the people in the yellow hoodies and grabs Callihan, telling him he made a mistake. Callihan yells "Do it, bitch!" as Deaner hits Callihan with a baseball bat.

Backstage, Dirty Dango and Joe Hendry interrogate Trey Miguel. Joe Hendry finds out that Trey Miguel is not missing some hair, and lets him go. Trey has no idea what to make of what is going on.

Backstage, Jimmy Jacobs interviews Nick Aldis. Aldis says things are moving fast and there is an electricity in the air since he has returned, and everyone is wondering when he will face Steve Maclin for the IMPACT World Championship. He says he does not expect to waltz into a title shot for a championship with a twenty-year legacy, and he expects to prove his worth on the roster all over again and go through the entire locker room if he has to as he climbs every step on the ladder. Kenny King shows up and says everyone has bending over backwards to welcome him back like he is the second coming, then asks if he is on the fast track or work his way up like everyone else. Aldis accuses Kenny of being a gatekeeper and says he is knocking on the gate, and if he wants to be his first match, he has no problem with it. Kenny says he will have to work his way up to an audience with him and leaves.

Jody Threat beats Alisha Edwards.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley). Sabin says he and Shelley will always be The Motor City Machine Guns no matter what, but that does not mean they can be successful as individuals. He says he is a record-breaking eight-time X Division Champion and wants to be a nine-time champion. As for Shelley, he says that he is considered one of the best to never win the World Championship and that he is going to go and win the World Championship.

We see part two of Gia Miller's backstage sit-down interview with Frankie Kazarian. Kazarian talks about his time in Ring of Honor and how he re-invented himself to the point that he would be part of the ground floor of what became All Elite Wrestling. While he enjoyed being in AEW, he had to bet on himself and return to IMPACT, as his history, legacy and future is here.

PCO's tag team partners are revealed to be Heath and Rhino. Rhino says that while PCO wants to beat Steve Maclin, Champagne Singh and Shera all by himself, he and Heath still have beef with Singh and Shera.

PCO, Heath and Rhino beat Steve Maclin, Champagne Singh and Shera in a six-man tag match.

Backstage, Rosemary reluctantly summons Father James Mitchell and brings up someone blocking their access to the Undead Realm. James mentions someone more powerful that The Coven is blocking them and asks Rosemary to come with him, as it may be a long time before they work something out. Rosemary reluctantly accepts, and when Jessicka asks to come with her, Rosemary refuses and hands her an hourglass while promising to leave for the Undead Realm armed, and says that when the sand runs out, she and James will be back. Rosemary and James then head into the Undead Realm.

Jonathan Gresham beats "Speedball" Mike Bailey with the Octopus.

Backstage, Sami Callihan asks Rich Swann for help with The Design (Deaner, Angels, Kon), saying he owes him one. Rich Swann says Sami has a history of picking up fights that he has a slim chance of winning, but Sami wants to know if Swann is going to help him or not.

In backstage footage during the break, Steve Maclin wants Scott D'Amore to take care of Rhino. D'Amore puts him in a match with Rhino with the IMPACT World Championship on the line next week.

Trinity makes her way to the ring. Trinity thanks the fans for the warm welcome and says it feels so good to be in an IMPACT ring and in a place where she can glow. She re-introduces herself as Trinity and announces that she has arrived in IMPACT Wrestling, and proclaims she has chosen IMPACT for its storied women's division and fierce competition, which she wants a piece of. Trinity not only wants to win championships, but she wants to win more, then warns the Knockouts Division to watch out because she is ready to shine. She says she came to IMPACT to make an impact and win the Knockouts World Championship, then "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo shows up. Purrazzo takes the invocation of her name as an opportunity to be the first to welcome Trinity to IMPACT and says Trinity has done her homework on how to make history, then warns her that when she steps in the ring with her, it is something she cannot just walk out on. Trinity tells Purrazzo that when she gets in the ring with her, she will wish she got fired again. Jordynne Grace then shows up and asks if it is hot in here or if it is just the heat between Trinity and Purrazzo, and reminds Purrazzo that they still have their rematch and that she does not plan to lose to her for a fourth time. She then tells Trinity that if she wants to fight Purrazzo, she can be her guest, but if she wants a title shot, she can come find her, because she will be champion after Under Siege. Trinity tells Purrazzo and Jordynne that they have business to settle at Under Siege and that she will be waiting, then tells whoever wins "Let's dance."
