Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling recap for August 3, 2023

"The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw beats Heather Reckless in the BTI match.

Trinity heads to the ring to start tonight's show. She says that Chicago, Illinois holds a special place in her heart, as this is the very building where she made her IMPACT debut and it is so surreal to her because not long ago, she was at her lowest and considered giving up on wrestling. She then reached her highest when she debuted in IMPACT Wrestling, and on that very night in that very same building, she said she would become Knockouts Champion, and now, she has done it. "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo suddenly shows up and states that if they are recreating Trinity's debut, it is only natural that she show up and interrupt her. The crowd chants "You tapped out" as Deonna says the only difference is that the role of champion and challenger and reversed as she congratulates her, and says she knows that while she knows what it is like to win the Knockouts Championship on the first opportunity after having done it herself. She then says the difference between herself and Trinity is that she is not a quitter. This leads to another "You tapped out" chant, which Trinity reminds her about. Deonna tells Trinity that she will get her title rematch and that nobody beats her twice, to which Trinity responds "I bet you I can." The Coven shows up, and KiLynn King says this is not "The Trinity and Deonna Show" and that nobody wants to hear Trinity speak or see Deonna's face again. KiLynn then mentions that she was Trinity's opponent during her debut, and the crowd chants "You lost." KiLynn tells Trinity that she got lucky that night and says that if things turned out differently, there would be a different Knockouts Champion in the ring right now. As she says that her loss does not sit well with her the more she thinks about it, Taylor Wilde mentions the fact that they are in Chicago and how she hates having been beaten by Trinity. Trinity dares The Coven to do something about it, and KiLynn proposes that Taylor give Trinity "a little card reading." Taylor throws her cards at Trinity and attacks her, and Deonna has to fend The Coven off with Trinity. Security separates all four women before Director of Authority Santino Marella arrives and makes a tag team match between all four women for later tonight. Deonna says she is here for a fight and wants the match right now, and the fans agree, leading Santino to make the match the first one of the night before security leaves.

The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) beat Trinity and "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo after Trinity inadvertently kicks Deonna in the head.

Backstage, we hear from The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz). Trey says this is their first tag team match in an IMPACT ring in three years, then says it should be for the tag team titles before saying they will beat Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham on the way to the titles. Wentz says that they will soon get their match with Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) and make the tag team titles theirs. Scott D'Amore shows up and docks them two weeks' pay for returning to the building after being ejected from it before telling them they will still have their tag team tournament tonight. He then tells them that if they interfere in any tournament matches, they will be suspended indefinitely.

Jake Something beats Davey Vega.

Backstge, Bully Ray, Brian Myers and Moose meet with Lio Rush. Bully Ray says they are excited and proud that he has joined them, but Lio Rush insists that he is not here to make friends, but Moose says they do not want him as a friend, but as a member of a team. Lio Rush says he can be trusted, but tells them that this will not last for long. Bully Ray says this can last forever if Lio lets it, then says that management does not like them and that he wants Lio to experience their trust. After mentioning that they want him to be on their team in a six-man tag match next week, Bully says that they can trust Lio unless he gives them a reason not to, then he, Moose and Myers leave.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says life is all about lessons, and he has learned that life is short and his title reigns are long. He then says that because life is short, one should tell their friends how they truly feel, including letting friends interject themselves into your title match and letting friends say the two magic words "We believe." After Yuya Uemura makes his entrance, he simply introduces himself as a champion.

Kenny King retains the IMPACT Wrestling Digital Media Championship against Yuya Uemura and Joe Hendry after Sheldon Jean pulls Hendry out of the ring from the outside and Kenny shoves Uemura into Hendry before hitting the Royal Flush to retain.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the Week is Mike Bailey vs. Jack Evans for the IMPACT Wrestling X Division Championship from Emergence 2022.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews "Speedball" Mike Bailey and Jonathan Gresham. Gresham says he is feeling confident in beating The Rascalz, especially with Bailey, but Bailey says he had to convince Gresham that they stand a chance of winning together due to rules not being enforced. Gresham reminds him that he lost his last match because of cheating, but Bailey says they can win as long as they have the right mindset and optimism. Gresham says optimism does not win matches and that they must watch each others' backs.

We hear from Josh Alexander and Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA), who want a match with Moose, Brian Myers, Bully Ray and Lio Rush at Emergence.

We see a video that shows what happened after Deaner supposedly killed Eric Young. Deaner puts the bloody shank on the table, then Eric Young suddenly comes back to life and crawls to his motorcycle before riding off into the night. Eric Young ponders both life and death, particularly death itself and its finality, then says that death can be beautiful and that he is not dead yet. He says he has lived a thousand lives in the business and that while a man can be killed, a body can be disposed of, and flesh can be removed, an idea is eternal and can live forever. Eric Young says that he is more than a man, more than life, more than death, then says that he is an idea and that he will live forever.

Final IMPACT - IMPACT Wrestling recap for July 27, 2023

Before the BTI match, Joe Hendry says it is time to address the elephant in the room and announces that he is no longer Digital Media Champion. He says that he knows everyone is upset, but he must motivate himself, as life is about peaks and valleys as well as good times and bad times, then recites a haiku that reflects the situation: "Sometimes life is good, sometimes life is bad, and sometimes life is so bad you need to quit and become a male stripper." He then says there is a shorter two-word that everyone sings, and that is "I believe," for they believe in Joe Hendry.

Before he can do any of that, he will give Champagne Singh what is coming to him for attacking him from behind.

We hear from Dirty Dango. He says the played the clown because he was getting a lot of money, and that he has invested that money well enough to the point that he does not have to be the clown anymore and still continue to get paid. He then says that he has wrestlers wanting to text him and talk to him when he gets home - which he does not want to do - and says that he will not complain about anything he has to do unlike other people on Twitter. He also tells the fans to take a shower. As for the Digital Media Championship, he says that if he were like most of the roster, he would have a replica of it, but he brings women to his house and does not want them to see a "toy wrestling title." Instead, he would list it on eBay, then take the proceeds and use it to take a woman on a date in Hawaii.

Heath beats Champagne Singh.

We hear from The Design (Deaner, Angels, Kon). Deaner says Sami Callihan does not realize what he has done, and Angels says that he did not trust him and knew that he would try to destroy them from within. He says that Callihan will pay for it in blood in his own home state, and Kon says it will be the same blood that poured down Rich Swann's mouth and Jake Crist's ear, and if he wants a war, he as one. Deaner tells Callihan to come to war with his brothers, but warns him that The Design will take out his family and take everything from him.

Before the next match, Joe Hendry says that tonight's opponent is Sheldon Jean, the man who broke his nose and is a reality star under the tutelage of another reality star. He tells Sheldon that this is IMPACT, not reality television, and that instead of hanging on to Kenny King, one simply has to say they believe to stick around.

Joe Hendry beats Sheldon Jean. After the match, Joe Hendry calls out Dirty Dango before their Digital Media Championship rematch at Against All Odds, and Dango shows up. Dango says that he hates pro wrestling and that he hates pro wrestling fans even more, then says Hendry is not going to trick him into fighting him into the ring right now as they do not pay him enough to fight on his day off. As Dango says he is about to head back to the back, Hendry says he called him to see why he is so cranky before introducing a music video where Hendry makes fun of Dango and calling him a "Divas Reject." Suddenly, Kenny King and Sheldon Jean attack Hendry from behind, and Dirty Dango joins in. Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up, and when Sheldon Jean bumps into Hendry, Santino hits Sheldon with the Cobra.

He says that he does not have to worry about everyone else and that he needs to worry about him, but not at Slammiversary.

Trey Miguel beats Bhupinder Gujjar. After the match, Trey Miguel says that no matter what he does to prove he is the greatest generational talent, all he gets is "Yeah, but." He says Chris Sabin was once a generational talent, but that was then and this is now. He says that he is the rarest form of a generational talent IMPACT has ever known due to some of his successful X Division title defenses, and after Against All Odds, there will be no ifs, ands or "Yeah, buts."

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Johnny Swinger. Swinger says every ham-and-egger worth their salt know he is the best of the golden era and that his father advised him to find someone to pass the heat to when the going gets tough. Swinger then blames crooked referees have cost him wins and that he has sent Zicky Dice to referee school to have someone in his pocket so he can finally become a champion.

Gia Miller interviews Deonna Purrazzo and Trinity. Trinity says she came here to prove herself against the best and that she has the chance to do that at Slammiversary. Deonna says that is noble, but many have stepped to her and many have failed. Trinity says they are in a dangerous game with "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw, but Deonna says they have both defeated Gisele and Savannah Evans, and that Gisele is stepping into a game she has already lost. Deonna says that despite their tag team match tomorrow night, she will be scouting Trinity, but Trinity says Deonna can trust her. Deonna then says she can put her ego aside for long enough, and Trinity says that she will be worried about her at Slammiversary.

As Gisele says Purrazzo has a receipt coming, Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice show up, and both of them agree that Jai Vidal will make an easy win for Swinger, as Jai Vidal is "not even on the roster."

Steve Maclin beats Heath.

Backstage, The Death Dollz (Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Jessicka) brag about ensnaring The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) into their web so they can take care of Killer Kelly all by themselves.

She says that Mickie will not have that luxury with her, and that if she is not careful, she will make her tap out again.

Eddie Edwards heads to the ring. Eddie says that ever since Honor No More has been disassembled, he has had to re-assess things. He has decided to let the past stay in the past, as it no longer matters. He says it is time to focus on himself and his future in Impact Wrestling, and while he has been trying to do that, the past continues to show up again and again as PCO continues to stalk him again and again. Eddie states that it is time for this come to an end and that after last week, it is over between himself and PCO. We then see the footage of PCO being hit by the vehicle in the desert again, and Eddie says this symbolizes a death of PCO and a rebirth for himself. Suddenly, the lights go out, thunder and lightning can both be seen and heard, and PCO appears in the arena. All of a sudden, PCO is attacked from behind with a shovel by Kenny King, and Kenny and Eddie mock PCO and gang up on him. PCO soon gets up and fights back, and a chair to the back from Eddie has no effect. A busted-open PCO punches the chair into Eddie's face, but Eddie and Kenny are able to take PCO down again and throw him into the ring steps. Eddie and Kenny then trap PCO between the post and the steps as they continue to beat on him, but PCO shoves the steps off of himself. He fends off Kenny King only for Eddie to hit him with a shovel.
