Lady Frost beats Alisha Edwards in the BTI match. After the match, "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw shows up and tries to upstage Lady Frost.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring. He says that he has talked about the Impact World Championship for the last few months, and that if anything matters more than the World title, it is Impact, as they gave him an opportunity when nobody else would. He also says there would be no Josh Alexander if it were not for Impact, then says he is ready and willing to go to war with Honor No More at No Surrender. Alexander then mentions the World title match between W. Morrissey and Moose and mentions the hypocrisy of his emotions being kept in check by management when Morrissey himself is out of control while he is trusted to fight for Impact but not for the World title. He then draws a line in the sand, saying that whoever wins the World title at No Surrender will see him at the other side and there will be nothing that stands in his way. Suddenly, Big Kon - formerly Konnor in WWE - shows up. Alexander and Big Kon have a staredown, then Alexander says Big Kon is only here to be an obstacle in his way and that he will have the match right here and right now. Alexander then calls for a referee, and the match is on. "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander quickly beats Big Kon with an ankle lock into a single leg crab, then refuses to release the hold after the bell rings. Security shows up, and Scott D'Amore runs in to stop Alexander only to get shoved. The crowd chants "You deserved it!" then D'Amore says he is not here to talk about emotions or the World title or to get shoved on his ass, but to reminisce a little bit. D'Amore says there is a lot of water under the bridge between them, then says that he saw him grow from a "wet-behind-the-ears kid" into a man, defy a career-ending injury and even get married. He then says that he hopes it is not deja vu all over again, as it has been three years since he signed a three-year contract, claimed he would become the future World Champion and did what he said he would do. When D'Amore asks Alexander what he wants, Alexander says he wants the coach and someone who cared to come back, as he does not want to be remembered as the shortest-reigning world title and sees his wife and child in tears when he sleeps at night. He says he wants to win the Impact World Championship for everyone he cares about and to prove that the road that he went through to get there was worth it, as well as to see the smile on his child's face. D'Amore says it will happen and that there is a process, but Alexander says he is done with the process and that he wants his World title rematch now or else he is gone. D'Amore takes him out of the match against Honor No More at No Surrender and sends him home, but Alexander says he is home in Impact Wrestling and that D'Amore will have to have him dragged out of the ring to get rid of him. D'Amore says he knows that Alexander can handle this professionally, then tells Alexander to say his goodbyes to the fans and to go home until he gets things straightened out.

Backstage, Steve Maclin meets with Scott D'Amore, saying he has unfinished business with Honor No More and wants to replace "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander at No Surrender, but D'Amore says Maclin is not well liked and that Team Impact (Rich Swann, Eddie Edwards, Chris Sabin, Rhino) will pick Alexander's replacement.

Tonga Loa says he and Tama Tonga will beat The Good Brothers for the Impact World Tag Team Championships, and Jay White says The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) are big Bullet Club fans and Violent By Design (Eric Young, Joe Doering, Deaner) are even bigger fans. As he talks about how The Good Brothers recruited Violent By Design, Violent By Design shows up and Eric Young says that they are what a real family looks like and that they do not cling to something created ten years ago that they did not even make. Eric Young says he lives in the present, not the past or the future, and that everything in Impact belongs to Violent By Design, not Bullet Club. Jay White says Bullet Club has owned all of wrestling for the last decade and is always on top, and that he understands Eric Young wants to create his own version of Bullet Club, but Eric Young is not him and Violent By Design is not Bullet Club. He then says that Eric Young will step in the ring and see what it is like to be in the ring with him, because it is his era. Eric Young says nine days is too long and that next week, he wants to teach him the lesson of a lifetime. Jay White says that since Bullet Club and Violent By Design are both here, they can do it right now. Suddenly, The Good Brothers show up. Anderson says he had to come out here because he finally has the Bullet Club in front of him to get the "thank you" that he deserves, and Gallows asks how hard it is to thank them for their success. Anderson then says "You're welcome" and demands a "thank you," but Tama Tonga thanks The Good Brothers for leaving the group and trying to re-create Bullet Club with no success. Gallows and Anderson say their tag team title reigns are what really matters and that they have been everywhere, but Tama Tonga says they are everywhere because they got fired from everywhere.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 20, 2020

Drew McIntyre shows up to start tonight's show. McIntyre welcomes everyone to the show, which he calls the highlight of his week, before addressing Seth Rollins' actions last week. He says that he is not surprised that this happened, as the WWE Championship represents a lot of things to a lot of people and paints a huge bullseye on his chest, as the title's holder is considered the best in the industry. McIntyre says that Rollins wants to be champion, but questions if he is deserving of a title opportunity. He says that while he could make him jump through hoops, Rollins is a decorated champion and he has faced him before. He then gives Rollins the privilege to face him in three weeks' time for the WWE Championship at Money In The Bank. As he continues to address Rollins, Angel Garza shows up with Zelina Vega and Austin Theory.

He says that they both have a lot in common, and that they garner the respect of their peers and have a deep passion for the industry. Rollins then accepts McIntyre's challenge at Money In The Bank out of duty and necessity, as the fans needs a leader more than ever. Rollins says that he is a proven leader and McIntyre is not, and that he is the one who will sacrifice for the greater good, make the difficult decisions and be the light for the darkness. He says that at Money In The Bank, he will take his title not because he wants to, but because he has to.

We see footage from earlier today of The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) driving around as they chant their own team name and proclaim that they will dominate the tag team division.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Ruby Riott. Riott says there was never really a Riott Squad to her, and that she had to get double shoulder surgery from carrying Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan on her back and making them look good and threatening.

She says that Morgan thinks she is all grown up, but she will show her how broken and weak she is without her.

She says people asked the question, and at TakeOver: Chicago II, she answered. She then says she is the most dominant force in the Women's division, and no matter how you ask the question, the answer will always be the same. After naming off some people she has yet to face, she says that the answer is always the same. After saying she is the reason why a second Mae Young Classic was made, she says that the answer will always be the same and that she will still be the NXT Women's Champion.

Cathy Kelley interviews Danny Burch. As Burch calls NXT TakeOver: Chicago II the culmination of 25 years of work even if Oney Lorcan got hurt and they came up a little short, The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong) shows up as Burch announces that Lorcan has had surgery and will be back in about three months.

O'Reilly says that next week, they are invoking their rematch clause for the NXT Tag Team Championships, and Adam Cole tells Burch that he is "kind of a loser."

Triple H humorously says that they went over this at The Cruiserweight Classic and that he has a budget to watch, and jokes that signing Jazzy Gabert would cost him a lot of money. Triple H talks about how all the men in the back followed their wrestling dreams and found a pot of gold at the rainbow, only for the women who followed the dream to not get the same results...until now. He says the fans are the gold at that end of the rainbow, and thanks the fans for making these women's dreams a reality.

The Mae Young Classic - Episode 3

We hear from Toni Storm, who has one hell of an attitude and a rock star energy. When she comes out to the ring, everything goes out the window. When she gets in the ring, she takes heads off, and she apologizes in advance to the damage she will cause anyone she gets in the ring with in the tournament. We then hear from Ayesha Raymond, who is able to deadlift more than 210 kg (approximately 463 pounds) and takes great pride in that. She sees felines, cats and panthers as being quite strong, and portrays herself as one in the ring. She was told all her life that she couldn't, and now she is in the ring to tell everyone she can.

She says that her braid is a lethal weapon, and she is nothing but the best. We then hear from Sage Beckett, who has been around the world and seen it all. She is not a witch; she is a shaman. She uses the air, fire and earth within her to to win, and she throws caution to the win in the ring. She takes all the energy around her and channels it in to focus on what she needs to do to win.

Bianca Belair beats Sage Beckett with a whip of her hair and a Spear to continue to the second round after Beckett misses from the top rope.

We hear from Santana Garrett, whose message is to work hard, stay humble, do your best and be yourself. There was a time when she was told she would never make it, and to be here in the tournament means everything. She hopes that the Mae Young Tournament will be a platform for what she can do and what she has to offer, but she also wants to win. We then hear from Piper Niven, the first Scottish wrestler to ever headline Korakuen Hall in Japan. She loves being bigger, bringing her aggression to the ring and even performing moves people half her size can't do.
