We hear from Moose, who says that he proved that the Gore is irrelevant and that he is the walking legend. Tonight, he will prove once again that he is the greatest multi-sport athlete of all time when he beats three other competitors. After stating that he has beaten Fallah Bahh twice, that he is bigger than Ace Austin and that he has beaten Eddie Edwards on multiple occasions, he says that he will once again be known as a legend.

We hear from Ace Austin, who simply says "Aces up" about his four-way match tonight.

In backstage footage from Hard To Kill, Rich Swann tells Willie Mack that he is not a failure and that he had the wrestling world thinking he would single-handedly win the tag team titles for the two of them.

(The footage ends up being so steamy that it gets Impact Wrestling banned from Twitch the following day.)

In backstage footage from Hard To Kill, Ken Shamrock says that Madman Fulton was a big, stronger guy and that he had to be quicker and smarter to out-position him and get the battle to go how he knew it would go. He says that Fulton made a mistake teaming with Sami Callihan, as Sami allows him to blow up and not think clearly, and that Fulton's anger is only an advantage for Sami as Sami only cares about winning. He says that Fulton has a future, but only without Sami Callihan. Shamrock says the night's win is a big deal, and that he has not thought past tonight before saying he will spend time with his family.

She knows that Sami is upset right now and that there will be some sort of retaliation, and now that she has achieved the impossible, she is the face of the company and the one that is hunted backstage now. Tessa feels that none of this happened by accident and that this was meant to happen, and that she has always believed in herself. All of a sudden, Sami Callihan appears on the nearby television screen. Sami Callihan says that for the last 48 hours, all he has heard about is history, then says he is the only history maker in Impact Wrestling and that history was two-and-a-half years when he appeared unannounced and taking Impact where it had never been. He congratulates Tessa Blanchard and Impact management for finally getting what they wanted, then says that while Tessa may be the champion they want, he is the champion that everybody needs. He tells Tessa to keep one eye open, for he will come at her with all he has and never stop. Tessa tells Sami she will face her anywhere, any time, then Sami reveals he is not hard to find, as he is in the studio. Tessa finds the room where Sami was.

Swann reminds Willie that he called him up because he knew he would get him to where he needed to be, and tells Willie not to sell himself short or thinking he is dragging him down, because when they are a team, they get the job done. Swann says he knows Willie is banged up, but he needs him on Sunday to become tag team champions, for there is no stopping them. Both men shake hands and hug.

We hear from oVe (Sami Callihan, Jake Crist, Dave Crist, Madman Fulton).

He says he has done a lot of soul searching to figure out what is next, but before he can mention what he ha come to a conclusion to, Joey Ryan suddenly shows up. Joey says that Shamrock has accomplished a lot in his career, then says that Shamrock has one more mountain to climb. Shamrock says he does know him, but Joey says he is the guy who's made wrestling fun again. Suddenly, Shamrock says "You're that penis guy!" He admits that he finds what Joey Ryan does pretty funny, then says he is a real fighter while Joey is a gimmick. Joey asks why he is afraid to "touch it" if he is just a gimmick, and asks if it is because it will tap him out faster than a Gracie choke. Shamrock says he was not here to announce his retirement, and instead, he is putting the locker room on notice and is willing to snap Joey's ankle in half. Joey takes the challenge for next week as "The World's Most Dangerous Man versus The World's Most Dangerous Manhood." Joey Ryan offers to shake his hand, and Shamrock shakes it.

He says that Impact is his perfect utopia and a company and group of people he wants to fight for, as everyone regardless of age, race and creed is united as one to fight for the common cause of professional wrestling, and while he does not know how many more fights he has left in him, his career has been worth it and he is proud of his teammates.

Bravo, Johnny says he is whatever he wants him to be, and that John E. Bravo is an upgrade from being clobbered by Brian Cage. He says that Brian Cage doesn't get that it doesn't matter what people think. Johnny says that at Rebellion, Cage will have thought nothing through, and that he can get at anybody in Cage's life before retaining the World title as the fans talk about Cage never living up to his full potential due to a lack of understanding about the business due to his inability to think creatively and his lack of understanding of the business becoming his downfall.

He says that the wrestling business is what we make it, and while things have not always been going his way, he can still look downhill from the top of the mountain and answered the questions after retaining at Homecoming, shutting three mouths and closing a chapter. After Johnny says it is time for the next contender, Moose shows up. Moose says all he hears backstage is Johnny Impact crying and whinng, and tells him he is a crybaby and the worst champion Impact Wrestling has ever had. He says the only reason he is not World Champion is because of Killer Kross - who he thought was his best friend - and "The Machine" Brian Cage. Suddenly, Killer Kross shows up. Kross calls Moose a "defiler," a "betrayer" and a "son of a bitch," and says Moose should know better than anybody else not to cross a killer, and says that dealing with him tests his patience. Johnny stops the argument that happens between Moose and Kross briefly, then Moose tells Kross he "benched" him for going against Johnny twice and says it is his time to become World Champion. Johnny says both Kross and Moose think they are both "A+ talent," but there is always an "A talent" and a "B talent," and both he and the fans would not mind a match between them to see who is the "A talent."

He tells Swann to stop with the facade, and tells him that he has always been there for him and that everything happens for a reason.

He says that if it weren't for him, Swann would be dead on the side of the road in Baltimore, Maryland and he would not even be able to take care of his family, whom Callihan mentions by name, angering Swann.

He says that Kross is skilled, but all people will remember about his is how much of a piece of garbage he is. Right now, he is focused on Kross, and if Moose will be at ringside, that means he won't be hiding during the match. Tonight, he will take a piece of garbage to the Slamtown dump.

He says there is no chance of Abyss showing up after what he did to him, and says Impact can do all they want to intimidate and scare him, for he is a survivor and adapter to become exactly what he hates to beat anyone he wants at their own game, for he is a dying breed, he is that good and he is hardcore. Suddenly, Tommy Dreamer shows up with a steel chair and fends off Eli Drake before hitting a DDT. As Tommy puts Eli Drake's head through a steel chair, the lights go out. When they come back on, Raven is in the ring. Dreamer tells Raven to get out, then Eli Drake tells Raven to fight Dreamer. Raven and Dreamer then attack Eli Drake instead and stand together.

Before the next match, Gama Singh dedicates the match to "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bordeaux. After Fallah Bahh and KM make their entrance, Scarlett shows up and sits on a chair on the stage to watch the match.

Fallah Bahh and KM beat The Desi Hit Squad (Rohit Raju and Raj Singh).

We hear from The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix). Pentagon Jr. says that The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) are brothers like them and that they are a lot alike, but since Konnan left their corner, they have been nothing but trouble they have not learned how to communicate. He says that Konnan was right when he said it would not be a friendly match at Homecoming, and ever since he showed Santana zero fear and Santana pushed, he has crossed the line of respect. At Homecoming, it is not just for the tag titles; it is for pride, honor and respect which will all go out the window they become tag team champions. Fenix tells Santana he will really beat him and that LAX will be wrestling the best tag team in the world who will sacrifice everything in the ring to win the titles.

Allie beats Kiera Hogan. After the match, Allie and Su Yung attack Kiera, then Jordynne Grace shows up and fights off Allie and Su Yung at the same time before helping Kiera out of the ring.

In footage from earlier today, Trevor Lee confronts Impact management and demands a match after watching people who he says can't compete at his level. Scott D'Amore and Don Callis give him a match for tonight.

We hear from The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz), who say that all they ever wanted to do was to become professional wrestlers, and growing up, everyone else wanted to be a basketball player, rapper, or hustler on the street corner, but not them. Their drug of choice was pro wrestling, and they were the ones who found the school and went to work just to live their dreams. Ortiz says that he was the one to pick Santana up when times were tough, and that Santana did the same for him. He says that they know they are something else, but the one time Konnan was not in their corner, they lost. He says that they have to fact the fact that Konnan is not always going to be there for them, and that they need to prove to him, the fans, themselves and everyone else that they can do this on their own. Santana says Konnan is worried they will break up the family, but time and time again, they have proven that they are better. They wanted to be one of the best, and they now stand as one of the best in Impact Wrestling. He asks how they could have gotten back to the block, their city and his daughter if they did not give a title shot to The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix), and at Homecoming, they will make history.

Trevor Lee's opponent is revealed to be Killer Kross.

Killer Kross beats Trevor Lee with the Kross Jacket. After the match, Kross address Johnny Impact, wishing him luck in his match against "The Machine" Brian Cage at Homecoming and to do whatever it takes to win. He says that sometimes it feels like he is not getting through to Johnny, and shows what happens when diplomacy fails by grabbing the timekeeper, taking him to the corner, pulling a cinder block from and asking the timekeeper to hold the block up to Trevor Lee's head so he can punch through it and send his fist into Trevor Lee's face. After scaring the timekeeper to the point that the timekeeper runs away through the crowd, Kross then says "I'll be watching, John! Don't disappoint us!"

During the break, Impact referees and management help Trevor Lee to the back.

At Homecoming: Sami Callihan vs. Willie Mack! Allie and Su Yung vs. Kiera Hogan and Jordynne Grace!

This week's GWN Flashback Moment of the Week is Jerry Lynn vs. Sean Waltman (as Syxx-Pac) from Sacrifice 2005.

The Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix) beat "The Machine" Brian Cage and Johnny Impact following miscommunication between Cage and Johnny. After the match, Cage and Johnny argue in the middle of the ring. age tries to leave, but Johnny drags Cage back into the ring, starting a brawl between the two men. Referees have to run in to break the brawl apart, but they are quickly overpowered before Cage and Johnny begin brawling again. Security runs in to separate both men, and they end up having to pull Cage off of Johnny. Suddenly, the impact locker room have to step in, but Johnny Impact takes out everyone with a double corkscrew off the top rope before both men have to held back on the ramp.

The show ends with the cold open for Homecoming.
