He states that he cost Mark Briscoe a title shot because Mark cost him one, then says that Briscoe only says he is happy to be blue collar because it is the only reason why he isn't taking pills and drinking Jack Daniels. He says that he has no problem with Mark Briscoe choosing the stipulation for their match because men like him work hard but do not get anywhere, then says "blue collar will bust and white collar will win."

She says that her career has been full of ups and downs, and the fans have been there every step of the way. She then says that Matt Cardona and PCO need to sort things out, as while this is hurting her, it is not the only thing hurting her. She then says that she needs neck surgery and has needed it for a long time, as she wakes up every day in pain and has fought through it because she did not let anyone down, including the fans, TNA and everyone else. She then says she has to do this to take care of herself, then says that while Cardona has been a jerk lately, he is still his best friend, even though she is not his property. She says that Cardona found her at her lowest and took her to her highest, and thanks him for that. She then says that she would find true love with PCO, but she is so glad that she has. Steph says that this friction is not healthy for her or fer them, and asks them both to stand up, be the men that they are, and figure this out without her. She says that this is not a retirement speech, because she is not done yet and she has more to give to the business, to TNA and to the fans, and that this is not goodbye, but "see you later," and tells the fans that she loves her.

Hammerstone says Eric Young and Steve Maclin are just two names and the first on a long list of people who will suffer the same fate for getting in their way.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says that "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander thinks he does not have what it takes to be the face of TNA or go toe-to-toe with him, but luckily for him, he does not define himself through people like him when he has whole arenas chanting "We believe."

Moose grabs Nemeth's hair, but Nemeth hits a superkick. He goes for the Danger Zone, but Moose hits the Spear. Nemeth kicks out, however. Alisha then passes the World title to Moose as JDC distracts referee Daniel Spencer, but Mike Santana shows up and takes the World title away from him and fights and chases JDC to the back. Nemeth hits the Danger Zone, but Moose kicks out. Later in the match, Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers pull referee Daniel Spencer out of the ring after Nemeth hits another Famouser, and Nemeth has to keep Daniel Spencer from throwing the match out. This causes Eddie and Myers to be ejected from ringside and the match to continue, and John Layfield suddenly shows up from out of the crowd, hits both Eddie and Myers with Clotheslines from Hell, then leaves through the crowd.

He welcomes to the show, then pyro goes off at the stage before the steel cage lowers.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes retains the Undisputed WWE Championship against Solo Sikoa in a steel cage match. After the match, the rest of The Bloodline (Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu) climbs into the ring, and Solo hits Cody with a Samoan Spike before The Bloodline goes on the attack. After a moonsault off the top rope, Jacob Fatu goes for another off the top of the cage at the behest of Solo. All of a sudden, Roman Reigns shows up. Roman gets in the ring and shuts the cage door before fighting off Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa with the greatest of ease. He is soon attacked from behind by Solo Sikoa.

Nia Jax heads to the ring. After the commercial break, Nia Jax says that ever since she has returned to the WWE, the women's division has realized why she is "The Irresistible Force" and has a good reason to fear her. She then announces that General Manager Nick Aldis has told her that she will be defending the WWE Women's Championship at Bad Blood, then says she does not know or care who her opponent is as they will suffer the same fate as the rest when she annihilates them. Bayley shows up and heads to the ring and gives credit where credit is due to Nia Jax before saying she is happy that Nia Jax is feeling confident, as she wants her rematch. Nia tells Bayley that she is in no position to demand anything, as she runs the women's division and does not need a posse to do it. Bayley says she did not need Damage CTRL to win the title, but Nia needed Tiffany Stratton to win. Tiffany shows up, saying this is pathetic coming from Bayley and that Nia does not need to listen to her, but Bayley reminds Tiffany that she beat her last week. Tiffany says it is only because Nia got involved, which almost gets Nia mad at Tiffany. As Nia says that Bayley does not have a prayer against her, especially in a two-on-one situation, Naomi shows up and says that if they want a fight, they can have a fight. Naomi says she is not letting this happen today, then says it has been a while since she held a title and that it is time that she does it again before telling Nia to put her money where her mouth is.

He says he does not need a partner, not even "The American Nighmare" Cody Rhodes, and whether he has the ula fala or not, he is the Tribal Chief. He says that is not just the original Tribal Chief, but the only Tribal Chief, and that this is his ring, his show and his WWE. Suddenly, Cody Rhodes shows up and heads to the ring.

Callis says he has learned a lot about Japanese culture from Takeshita, and that the top wrestler in the promotion is called "the ace." He calls Takeshita better than all of the aces, and while beating Kenny Omega once makes one an ace, beating Kenny Omega twice in a week makes one "The Alpha." As confetti rains down, Don Callis decrees that Takeshita will be addressed as "The Alpha," then states that he feels nothing about destroying Kenny Omega due to having no empathy, which he considers weakness. He says that everything has taken from Omega and they have taken a little more, and after breaking his body, he will break his heart, and reveals the next target of "The Don Callis Family" by revealing a painting of Kota Ibushi with a sword over him. Callis says they will not just beat Ibushi or take him from Chris Jericho, they are going to burn, skin and butcher him, and that while they are spilling Ibushi's blood in the ring, Jericho will be watching helplessly at home "like the pathetic cuck that [he is]."

Le Sex Gods (Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara) head to the ring. Jericho mentions his match with Guevara next week and the fact that he and Guevara have been on Dynamite since the very first episode before showing off a video package of their greatest moments together on the show. Jericho then talks about how he first saw Guevara on the NWA 70th Anniversary Show and being blown away by him to the point that he called Tony Khan to tell him to sign Guevara, knowing he had what it took to be a big star and wanting to take him under his wing. He then talks about how he has seen Guevara grow over the years, maturing, winning championship gold and starting a family, and says that he is proud of Guevara and everything he has accomplished in the last four years. Guevara says the usual thing to do what to talk trash about his opponent in Jericho, but he is not going to do that because Jericho has always been an inspiration to him. He then thanks Jericho for changing his and others' lives, for without Jericho, there is no AEW. He then says he did not come to AEW just to be Chris Jericho's sidekick, but to become world champion and have people looking at him like they do Jericho, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley, and he cannot do that while in Jericho's shadow. After Guevara says he has to win next week, Jericho says he agrees, and that he brought Guevera here to become a big money draw, which he is getting closer and closer to every week, and he has to be outside of his influence and do it on his won to make that happen. He calls their match next week the biggest match of their careers and that Guevara must win, and that if Guevara is to win, he must be better than he has ever been. After Jericho says he is not ready, Guevara says this is what is has come to and that he will beat Jericho and earn his respect before they both win the tag team titles. Both men shake hands, then have a staredown in the middle of the ring. Jericho tells Guevara he will give him the match of his life and that he will beat the living hell out of him, and he expects the same thing out of him. Guevara says he would not want it any other way.

He also says he is not afraid of Samoa Joe and that it is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, and that he has has a whole lot of bite. He also tells Joe to pray to God he does not win the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator, because if he wrestles him, he will choke him out, then makes a reference to Scott Steiner's "Steiner Math" promo.

"Hangman" Adam Page beats "The Machine" Brian Cage. During the match, Swerve Strickland shows up to watch the match from the stage, which briefly distracts Adam Page. After the match, Adam Page says that last week, he thought Swerve Strickland had some balls only to find out he had them stowed away in "Prince Nana's Burger King crown." Swerve tells Adam that he must be stupid if he thinks this will be taken care of tonight and that it will happen where he says and when he says, and that they will settle things at WrestleDream. He then says he will make sure Adam Page will not be comfortable on the way there, then Brian Cage attacks Adam Page from behind while Prince Nana dances again. Suddenly, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) superkick Brian Cage and dance with Prince Nana, who gets superkicked by The Young Bucks as soon as he turns around.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Daniel Garcia, who would rather talk about his recent viral success rather than Chris Jericho or Sammy Guevara.

He says he did not take the loss for his team that night and that he did not have his usual partner in that match, then challenges Darby Allin and Sting to a tag team match against him and Luchasaurus next week.

We see a video package chronicling the events leading to the finals of the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator coming up next.

Samoa Joe beats Roderick Strong with the Coaquina Clutch after smaking Roderick Strong out of the air during a jumping knee attack to win the Grand Slam World Title Eliminator Tournament and face MJF for the AEW World Championship at Grand Slam. After the match, Joe tells MJF that his prophecy has come true, and next week, he goes to MJF's backyard to come for him, walk him down, beat him down, and take everything he has before calling him a kid again. After Samoa Joe leaves, Adam Cole arrives, and Roderick Strong fakes a hurt neck. The Kingdom and Roderick Strong blame it on Adam Cole as a Roderick is fitted with a neck brace and put on a stretcher. As Roderick Strong is being taken to the back, The Kingdom get in Adam Cole's way, then Adam Cole is attacked from behind by Samoa Joe, who puts Adam Cole in the Coaquina Clutch as he tells MJF he will take everything from him.

Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Jacy Jayne, Gigi Dolin) are in the ring. Mandy Rose says she is back from vacation looking good and feeling even better, then says she did what he said she would do and united the NXT and NXT UK Women's Championships. She says that if she chooses to, she will run NXT Europe, too. Jacy Jayne says the three biggest superstars are here in the ring, as they are the supergroup of supergroups. Gigi Dolin says everyone thinks of them when they think of NXT. Jacy says that Toxic Attraction elevated the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships to what they are today, then says they are on loan to Kayden Carter and Katana Chance and that Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark are not even on their level. Mandy says they are the baddest bitches in the room and have proven that. Mandy says she is on track to become the longest-reigning NXT Women's Championship in history, and while Carmelo Hayes and Bron Breakker have been great champs, they have not reigned as long as she has. As Mandy demands respect be put on her name, Alba Fyre shows up and says that while Mandy may have unified both women's title, she knows nothing about where she comes from, where everyone's hard work does the talking. She says that when Mandy looks in her eyes, she sees generations of warriors, her demise and the next NXT Women's Champion. Fyre then lays out Jacy and Gigi before hitting Mandy with the Fyre Bomb. Jacy and Gigi have to drag Mandy out of the ring.

We hear from Cora Jade, who talks about her year in NXT 2.0, where she says she was not seen as a fan favorite, how she earned Natalya's respect, how she will not waste any more time on Roxanne Perez, and how she does not care what anyone thinks about her.

Backstage, Vic Joseph interviews Bron Breakker. Breakker admits he was scared and nervous at the start of NXT 2.0, but when he headed to the ring, it just felt right. He says that everybody, including himself, thought he would win in his first NXT Championship match against Tommaso Ciampa, but he learned from the loss. He says that beating Ciampa for the title was an unbelievable night, as it was the first time his father Rick Steiner saw him compete and the first time a member of his family won a WWE singles title. Breakker says inducting The Steiner Brothers into the WWE Hall of Fame was an honor, and while he did not get the job done against Dolph Ziggler the first time around, he felt he could not leave Dallas, Texas without the NXT Championship. He then mentions facing Ziggler again, winning the NXT Championship again and defending against Gunther the following night, as well as his battles with Joe Gacy which taught him how to handle himself as champion. On the subject of unifying the NXT and NXT UK Championships, Breakker says he does not know what the future holds for him and that he only lives in the present, but he will continue to deliver on a night-to-night basis.

Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Tyler Bate. He says that Bron Breakker has had a great first year in NXT 2.0, but he wants a rematch. He says JD McDonagh stands in the way of that, and if McDonagh wants a shot at the title, he will have to go through him.

Carmelo says Wes Lee will not be showing up and that he did him a favor, as he is not built for what he does. Carmelo then says that everyone is praying for his downfall and that he has the biggest crown and the heaviest head. Suddenly, Solo Sikoa shows up in NXT for the first time since becoming part of The Bloodline.

Big E makes it known he intends on cashing in the Money In The Bank contract tonight. Riddle tells Big E not to cash in on Orton, but MVP tells him to shut up and says Big E will not be cashing in tonight at all. MVP notes that while Big E loves to make people laugh, he and Lashley are not in a laughing mood, and accuses Orton of politicking tonight's WWE title match from Extreme Rules to tonight. Orton says it has been fourteen years since he and Lashley faced off on Raw, and that all he had to do was tell who was in charge to move the match forward tonight because he is "Randy freakin' Orton." After Big E proclaims that there will be "two meaty men bumping meat" tonight, MVP says that he always thought Big E had to potential to become a singles star and become a world champion, then accuses Big E of being scared of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. MVP then says that Lashley is not a pushover and that he will soon fear "The Almighty," but Orton says MVP's real fight is tonight and that it will take one RKO to bring Lashley down to his knees to become WWE Champion. Big E then says he will cash in on Orton afterwards, then Lashley tells Orton he made a mistake facing him for the WWE title and will beat him around the ring before threatening to shove his contract so far up his ass he will taste the fine print. Big E taunts Lashley with the briefcase, and that allows Orton to hit Lashley with the third RKO in as many weeks.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Charlotte Flair, who says "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler is just like everybody else going after the WWE Raw Women's Championship and that Baszler will never reach her level unless she drops her "dead weight."

After the match, Alexa Bliss shows up bearing a gift for accepting her title challenge at Extreme Rules, but Charlotte tells Alexa she does not know her tastes and that she collects championships, and that Alexa should leave her dolls at home. Charlotte refuses the gift when Alexa offers it to her and says everybody loves a great gift, then eventually accepts it and finds "Charlie," a doll that looks like a cross between Charlotte and Lilly. Alexa says that she needs something to play with when she loses her title, then says "even a narcissistic, self-absorbed bitch" like Charlotte deserves a friend. Charlotte admits Alexa has a point, but she is not losing the title. She also says she does not want "Charlie," then says she will have Mattel send her a Charlotte Flair action figure when she gets put in a padded cell once she "adults" her into Extreme Rules. Charlotte throws "Charlie" at Alexa, and this starts a brawl where Alexa comes out on top with a Canadian Destroyer.

We hear from Karrion Kross, who says that deep down, most people do not know who they really are and only an idea of who they like to be, but nobody finds their true nature until they are suffering or inflicting suffering. He then says the list of suffering he has created is insatiable and the list of people he has beaten has continued to grow, then says he has enjoyed every second of his opponents' agony.

As R-Truth goes up the ramp, however, he is suddenly chased by the rest of the locker room, and R-Truth runs through the crowd to somewhere else backstage.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for September 13, 2018

Austin Aries, Moose and Killer Kross show up to start tonight's show. They sit on a set of gold couches with a gold table between them, and Aries talks about how Johnny Impact got taken out last week and how everyone who has stepped up to them has been put down. He says that nobody will be seeing Johnny for a good while, just like nobody will see Eddie Edwards for a while. Moose says he should go check on his wife and bring her some champagne, then Fallah Bahh and KM show up, much to the amazement of Moose, Kross and especially Aries. Aries invites them to enter the ring, and KM he and Fallah are here on the advice of "The Smoke Show" Scarlet Bordeaux to speak their minds and that Aries is a liar for claiming he is the greatest man that ever lived as well as an absolutely rotten human being and a horrendous world champion. He also calls Moose out for "stabbing Eddie Edwards in the back" and that he deserves to be called "Douche" much like the fans do. Moose and Kross get agitated, but Aries asks them to step back and gives them an apology, saying the last few weeks have been a little chaotic, and offers them a peace offering in the form of Fallah Bahh getting a shot at the Impact World Championship tonight. Aries asks Fallah to shake his hand if he agrees on it, and they shake hands. Aries teases hitting Fallah Bahh with a cheap shot, but instead tells Fallah Bahh he'll see him later tonight. When Bahh sits on the couch, Aries tells him not to sit on it for it expensive furniture.

The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix) beat The Cult of Lee (Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley). After the match, oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) show up on the video screen, saying they are on TV so much because they sell tickets and that Bound For Glory will be no different as they are the best trio walking today. He challenges Pentagon Jr. Fenix and "The Machine" Brian Cage to a six-man tag team match, and says that "The Machine" Brian Cage made a mistake of sticking his nose in their business before asking how many more people have to do this before they finally learn not to do that.

Backstage, Fallah Bahh regrets challenging Austin Aries for the Impact Wrestling World Championship, and KM tells Fallah Bahh that he has to believe in himself and that he can do it before considering looking to advice from former world champions. KM suddenly has an idea of who to ask advice from.

Backstage, Fallah Bahh and KM find Eli Drake and look to him for advice. Eli Drake, focused on calling out dummies next week in Mexico, tells Bahh "I'd tell you to get a cup, but you'd better find yourself a bowl."

The GWN Flashback Moment of the week is The Von Erichs (Marshall and Ross Von Erich) vs. The Bro Mans (Robbie E and Jessie Godderz) at Slammiversary XII.

Backstage, Alicia interviews Allie and Kiera Hogan. Allie admits she does not like Tessa Blanchard or the fact that she is telling everybody she has a hidden agenda involving the Impact Wrestling Knockouts Championship. Now that Tessa is the Knockouts Champion, Allie says she can have the championship, and that she made a promise that whatever happened to her, Madison Rayne and Rosemary would not happen to anyone else, and that promise extends to Tessa Blanchard. She says that while Su Yung is no longer champion, her reign of champion is far from over.

One Night Only: Night of the Dummies airs tomorrow on GWN and pay-periview!

Backstage, Alicia interviews Tessa Blanchard. Tessa says she heard what Allie said earlier, and that she did not need her help as she can see through her. She says that next week, Mexico and the whole world will soon see why she is undeniable.

Before the next match, Grado tries to speak to Katarina, and Joe Hendry tells Grado has taken Katarina leaving ham hard, then plays a custom-made music video where he makes it clear that he is not in love with her (and also makes a dig at her former WWE kayfabe brother Paul Burchill). After this, Alisha wins the match against a distracted Katarina with a schoolgirl pin before Grado makes fun of Katarina, which leads to an "Access denied!" chant from the crowd.

Backstage, Fallah Bahh comes back to KM with a cup and a bowl - literally - on the "advice" of Eli Drake. KM has to tell Fallah Bahh that Eli Drake was making fun of him and that he needs to take this seriously. All of a sudden, "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux shows up, saying she is proud of the both of them and wants to see gold around Fallah Bahh's waist. When she smacks Fallah Bahh in his belly, his hand grips around the cup so hard that breaks it, and KM has to push Fallah Bahh away from Bordeaux.

We see footage from earlier this week where Josh Mathews interviews Johnny Impact. Impact says that the longer he has spent in this business, the more frustrating injuries have become, and his neck and elbow are both damaged and that it will take a while to come back; however, he will be back for Bound For Glory. H eknows that his match with Austin Aries for the Impact Wrestling World Championship will be a 3-on-1 match, and says that Austin Aries surrounding himself with goons means that Aries is insecure about what it would be like if they were in the ring alone.

The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) beat The Fraternity (Trent Gibson and Channing Decker). After the match, The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez) show up, and King tries to taunt LAX into breaking the ceasefire. He then says that he doesn't regret losing LAX as family; however, he regrets that Richie, the boy The OG'z ran over with their car, is still breathing. He dares Konnan to hit him and break the ceasefire, and Santana and Ortiz have to hold him back.

Alicia interviews Austin Aries, who says he could not feel any happier than he already is handing out gifts, and says Fallah Bahh has the biggest gift of all in a World title shot. He says that World title shot will end in defeat for Fallah Bahh, and says that Fallah Bahh will be gone just like Eddie Edwards and Johnny Impact and that there might not be a Bound For Glory main event - or a Bound For Glory - at all if he, Moose and Killer Kross take everybody out at the rate that they are doing it.

Backstage, KM tells Fallah Bahh that he and "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux believe in him, and asks Fallah if he believes in himself. Rich Swann shows up and tells Fallah Bahh that he has been where he is at right now, and tells Fallah Bahh that tonight is his night and that he will get the Impact World Championship. After Rich Swann leaves, he is confronted by "Reborn" Matt Sydal, who tells Rich Swann that he is foolish for thinking he can help Fallah Bahh when he cannot even help himself. He tells Swann that he is the man who can help him, and Swann responds by challenging him to a match next week in Mexico City, Mexico.

Next week: the next inductee into the Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame is revealed!

"The Machine" Brian Cage beats Kongo Kong. After the match, Cage says that if oVe (Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Sami Callihan) wants to challenge him and The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix), then he will be there at Bound For Glory to decimate all the members of oVe.

Backstage, Grado and Joe Hendry wish Fallah Bahh luck on his way to the ring along with the rest of the Impact Wrestling roster.

Austin Aries retains the Impact Wrestling World Championship against Fallah Bahh with the Last Chancery, then continues to attack Fallah Bahh after the match. KM tries to get Austin Aries off of Fallah Bahh, but he is soon attacked by Moose and Killer Kross, who smash a chair that they wrap around KM's neck into the ring post with another steel chair.

Here are the top five moments from tonight's show!
