Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling recap for September 14, 2025

Backstage, Jack Farmer interviews Johnny United. He admits that he may have motivated "Poppin'" EJ Sparks even further with his actions, but he knows that they both admire him. Sparks shows up and says he is pissed and that he not only will make him pay, but that he has quickly lost a lot of respect for him. Both men then have a staredown.

Backstage, Christian Cole interviews Danny Limelight. He says that the last time he was here, he was beaten in front of both his fans and his family, and while someone else who took the same journey as he did ended up being a coward, he used to take that road back in the day. He says that he feels like "Scarface in his last moments" and that he did this to himself, and while he had Slice Boogie and Papo Esco in his corner back then, there are no friends in this business. Slice Boogie then shows up as part of the interview. Slice says that last time he was here, he won the Golden Opportunity. He says the company wanted to drive them apart, even though he wanted this opportunity. He says that while there was some tension, especially with what was happening at the time, there is no heat between them, yet if the opportunity is there, he will take it. Limelight says that all they do is win, and that as long as there is money on the table, they will take it. Slice says he and Limelight have won gold everywhere they have gone, and that they have no problem taking the tag team gold.

Scorpio Sky beats Buddy Royal.

Nearly Average Wrestling owner Shane Hartline guests on commentary for the next match.

Brandon Cutler beats "Outlandish" Zicky Dice. At the beginning of the match, Zicky Dice produces two six-sided dice, but Cutler produces a twenty-sided die. At the end of the match, Nearly Average Wreslting owner Shane Hartline takes the twenty-sided die and hits Zicky with it on the outside behind the referee's back, allowing Cutler to hit the TPK for the win. After the match, Shane Hartline removes his neck brace and signs the Nearly Average Wrestling contract in his hands with the pen in Zicky Dice's hand.

Backstage, we hear from Jordan Cutler, who says that "One in a Million" Maximilen is nowhere to be found because of how the fans have treated him and that he is now vacationing in Montenegro. Castle says he could be with him right now, but he is a professional and he has business, and after the commercial break, we will hear from Maximilien.

We see "One in a Million" Maximilen in Montengro, followed by the message "Maximilien, Better Than You." We then hear from Jordan Cutler, who says that this is the electricity and superstardom that Maximilien has and that when Maximilien returns, the fans had better cheer him, for the undefeated dominance will continue.

Jonny Loquasto interviews The Wolf Zaddies (Che Cabrera and Bad Dude Tito). Bad Dude Tito says they have run through everyone and leave everyone on their backs, and Che Cabrera says they are the most dominant team in UWN history and that there is no team like them. Tito says they need competition and that they are tired of beating up "little boys" that cannot match men like them, and they can have the match anywhere. Suddenly, G.U.N.K. (Rob McKnight and shows up. It does not take long for both men to start fighting near Jonny Loquasto, and referees, security and even other wrestlers have to restore order. As Tito dives into everyone, the scene changes to The Master Amir, who says that Slade and McCallion once claimed vanity and were blind to the truth, but change, which is never gentlewas demanded. He says skin must be shed, and only then can trust be revealed. Amir then asks if one will resist or embrace change when the clock stricks, then demands that everyone stand with Delirium (The Master Amir, Slade, McCallion).

"Poppin'" EJ Sparks retains the UWN Heritage Championship against Johnny United. (On the original YouTube airing, Johnny United vs. "Poppin'" EJ Sparks for the UWN Heritage Championship strangely ends after the final commercial break and suddenly becomes Fidel Bravo vs. Jordan Cruz for the UWN World Championship from last week's episode. The error would be fixed the following Tuesday.)

Championship Gold - Championship Wrestling recap for August 17, 2025

Alex Gracia beats Bryn Thorne.

We receive another message from Delirium (McCallion and Slade) and their leader: "Time has proven that even brothers can be divided by greed. Blood eventually turns to venom; trust to ash. Delirium: we are chosen, forged in truth, bound by purpose. One mind, one will, one defining heartbeat. While the world tears itself apart, we remain whole. Delirium is the cure for your poisoned mind."

Backstage, Jack Farmer interviews "Outlandish" Zicky Dice. The interview is sponsored by Nearly Average Wrestling, which raises Zicky's ire. Zicky finds out that his match with Hex, which is next, is sponsored by Nearly Average Wrestling about once every ten seconds.

Backstage, we hear from "Poppin'" EJ Sparks, who has been UWN Heritage Champion for 161 days. He says that during the time, he heard Jordan Oasis talk trash about him while he was injured, but he is back and he will beat him tonight so he can put respect on his name.

Ray Jaz beats Fidel Bravo with a sunset backslide pin from the ring apron. After the match, Ray Jaz gives the "Jaz Tip of the Day:" There are winners and there are losers, yet the fans cannot beat their alarm clocks, let alone win a wrestling match. He says he is here to take over, and prove that he is "the Jersey Shore thing of Championship Wrestling," because there are men, there are myths, and there are Jersey legends.

Backstage, "Main Evant" Evan Daniels addresses "Outlandish" Zicky Dice, telling him that he has his rematch, then tells him to expect a shine when you book a star, because it when it comes time to put on a show, he puts on a show.

Jordan Castle introduces "One in a Million" Maximilien Monclair. Castle demands all questions be directed towards him after Maximilien is called "Max," then proceeds to make fun of the questions given to him. On the subject of what is next for Maximilien, Jordan Castle says that Maximilien will only be wrestling in big cities. Maximilien is soon called "Maxi Pad" by the fans, and when Maximilien's in-ring readiness is questioned, Jordan says he will prove he is ready next week. Jordan Castle says he will go 4-0, but the only number that matters is "One in a Million." Maximilien says his own name, then he and Jordan Castle leave.

G.U.N.K. (Rob McKnight and Casanova Valentine) beats Jake Redondo and Joey Lancaster.

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.

Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura beat Kenny King and Sheldon Jean in the BTI after Joe Hendry clotheslines Sheldon Jean on the outside before Yuya Uemura stacks Kenny King up for the win.

We hear from Dirty Dango and John E. Bravo. Dango says he does not take Santino Marella seriously at all, then mentions Santino's daughter again. He says that he has John E. Bravo with him as his personal security because Scott D'Amore is "a loose cannon boss" "hitting Canadian Destroyers like he is 25 again" while Director of Authority Santino Marella is hitting people with Cobras.

Johnny Swinger beats "Outlandish" Zicky Dice in a Loser Leaves IMPACT Match and earns a shot at the IMPACT World Championship after letting Zicky Dice ride in the cart after telling him it is his time when Zicky Dice stops the count and tells Swinger to finish the match. Zicky rides the cart, but Johnny clotheslines him and uses the ropes for leverage to get the win.



Backstage, Director of Authority Santino Marella congratulates Yuya Uemura on pinning Kenny King in the BTI Match, and after Santino and Joe Hendry entertain the idea of Yuya as a champion, Yuya proposes a three-way match for the Digital Media title.

We hear from Alan Angels, who says Heath is the perfect example of somebody who thinks they are like a rock star while he himself is a real-life rock star. He says that Heath is jealous of him and that Heath's career is going downhill, then proposes a match for next week to see how much of a rock star Heath really is.

In backstage footage from last week, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) make light of their own actions from last week and tell Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) to watch out for them.

After the match, Angels is hit from behind by Heath with a Wake-Up Call.

Scott D'Amore is in the ring to start tonight's show. D'Amore thanks the crowd for their support and making Slammiversary one of the greatest nights of his life, and says that standing in the ring with A1, Eric Young and Darren McCarty is a moment he will remember forever. He then announces that since his politics with Bully Ray are over, so is his leave of office, and with Santino Marella getting ready to face Dirty Dango tonight, he is the acting Director of Authority. He also announces that we will hear from "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander for the first time since his return at Slammiversary, and that ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) will have their tag team title rematch against Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) tonight. As he is announcing that Jake Something is here tonight, The Good Hands show up. John Skyler calls D'Amore "a typical Canadian" and a coward by hiding behind his position of authority before they can hand him a receipt. D'Amore dares them to get in the ring, which they do, and Jason Hotch calls D'Amore a thorn in The Good Hands' side as well as a roadblock before Skyler says D'Amore is overdue for a beating from them. D'Amore responds by saying that "good hands need to throw down," then announces their opponents for tonight: Rich Swann and Sami Callihan, who head to the ring for the next match.



Rich Swann and Sami Callhan beat The Good Hands (John Skyler and Jason Hotch).

Backstage, we hear from ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey). Chris Bey says Slammiversary was supposed to be the best night ever, but The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) stopped them from retaining the World Tag Team titles. He tells The Rascalz to go somewhere else and that they will take their titles back. The Rascalz show up, and Trey Miguel wants a fight. Chris Bey stops Ace Austin at first, but then he throws the first punch. Security stops the brawl, and Scott D'Amore ejects The Rascalz from the arena. Johnny Swinger and "Outlandish" Zicky Dice then show up, and Swinger asks what he has to do to get a win. D'Amore admits the "fifty wins" idea was misguided, and says that if Swinger wins one match, he has a title shot. He then says the match is against Zicky, and if he loses, he is gone from Impact. Zicky tells Swinger he will lay down for him when D'Amore leaves, then D'Amore comes back and makes the match a Loser Leaves IMPACT match, putting Zicky's job at IMPACT on the line as well.

Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Eric Young, who says it feels "amazing" and "right" to be back home and that he has a story to tell and a history to address. He says that as much as he loves history and tradition, he loves change, then "The National Treasure" Nick Aldis shows up. Aldis welcomes him back and admits he does not like his loss from Slammiversary, then says that they both know each other and that he has a colleague in his war against Internet darlings who want to take over the company. Eric Young says he has mentioned what his new direction is, and while Nick Aldis has some good points and history is beautiful, he says that neither of them will be put in a box before saying they can have a match as part of "a beautiful history." Aldis and Eric shake hands.

We hear from Jake Something, who says that he is back and that everything in IMPACT will be his.

Jake Something beats Kevin Knight.



Courtney Rush beats Savannah Evans after Jessicka pulls "The Quintessential Diva" Gisele Shaw off the apron to stop her distracting the referee while Jody Threat shows up and carries Jai Vidal off after grabbing him by the ponytail.

We hear from The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King) Taylor Wilde is irritated that Trinity is IMPACT Knockouts World Championship, and says that she and KiLynn King got screwed by Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly, now known as "MK Ultra." KiLynn King tells Dani Luna and Trinity that they are coming to kick their asses and make a statement, and Taylor Wilde says The Coven does not need batteries to glow.

IMPACT Wrestling thanks Windsor, Ontario, Canada, St. Clair College, Windsor Councillor Renaldo Agostino for their hospitality as last weekend was proclaimed and declared "IMPACT Wrestling Weekend" in the city of Windsor by Councillor Agostino. It is also announced that Slammiversary marked IMPACT's highest-attended event in four years, and that IMPACT hopes to return to Windsor in the near future.

In footage from earlier today, Tom Hannifan interviews Jonathan Gresham, who says that he can no longer hold his title anymore after Slammiversary, and asks why the X Division is not governed by a set of rules. He says that he fought for this in Ring of Honor, then says the X Division has no rules. Gresham then says this environment may not be for him, then leaves.

Gisele tells them to get out of her way, and Masha tells her to make them. Jody then returns Jai Vidal and tells them this had better be the last time she carries him off. Jai Vidal is shaken as Gisele demands a wardrobe change.

Backstage, we hear from Eddie and Alisha Edwards. Alisha says Traci Brooks being the equalizer at Slammiversary was not going to happen and that Traci is not half the woman she is. Traci shows up with Frankie Kazarian, then both sides brawl and security has to rush in.

Subculture (Mark Andrews and "Flash" Morgan Webster) retain the IMPACT World Tag Team Championships against ABC ("Inevitable" Ace Austin and Chris Bey) after The Rascalz (Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz) show up. Wentz distracts the referee while Trey attacks Ace Austin from behind, and after a chain of pinfall reversals between Chris Bey and Mark Andrews, Andrews rolls Bey up to retain.



"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring. Alexander proclaims that it is good to be back, and that there is nothing that could wipe the smile off of his face right now. Alexander says that he loves the fans and that he loves Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and admits it is a little bittersweet being here, because the last time he was in an IMPACT ring, it was in Windsor, and it was one of the toughest days of his career and his life as he relinquished the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship that he fought so hard to win and keep. He tells the fans not to worry, as he will earn some gold, and with that being said, he took a lot of pride in being IMPACT World Champion, as he got to realize his dream when IMPACT took a chance on him and gave him the opportunity he needed and got, and he made the most of that opportunity. Josh then says it was all taken away from him in an instant due to a freak accident and he had to relinquish his title, and he promised that he would come back better than ever. Josh states he believed that promise wholeheartedly, but afterwards, he doubted himself for the first time in a long time as to whether or not he would follow through on that promise. When Rebellion happened, he watched as a fan, and at the end of the night, he saw Steve Maclin holding up the IMPACT World Champonship and got all the fuel he needed, and the sling come off and he went to work to get better. Josh says he worked to rehab and work more than the day before, and now, he is standing on his own two feet "100% medically cleared for in-ring competition." He then announces he is not here just to compete, but to take back the IMPACT World Championship. Josh admits he wanted to say this to Steve Maclin's face, but then Alex Shelley shocked the world and cemented his name amongst the greats when he became IMPACT World Champion at Against All Odds, and he was not surprised, for he knew how good Alex Shelley was. Josh then asks "Is Alex Shelley good enough to beat Josh Alexander?" Alex Shelley shows up, and says that while Josh coming back in four months is impressive, he knew he would consider the World Championship his because he never lost it. He then says the World Championship is his now, as he challenged for it twice and beat Maclin's ass the second time after having lost to Alexander. Shelley then reiterates Josh's question from earlier and talks about how Josh was able to live a dream as world champion, then tells Josh that at some point, he has to wake up. As for a rematch, Shelley says they should have one. Lio Rush then shows up and reminds both Josh and Shelley that he beat Chris Sabin and won the X Division Championship like he said he would, then states that if he wants to be World Champion, then there is only one thing he has to do: exercise Option C. KUSHIDA then shows up with the X from the Ultimate X Match around his neck and raises the microphone up before telling KUSHIDA there will be no Option C until Lio Rush faces him. Bully Ray then shows up, and as everyone in the ring is focused on him, Shelley, KUSHIDA and Josh are attacked from behind by Moose and Brian Myers, and Bully Ray joins in. Moose, Bully and Myers then give Lio Rush the opportunity to blast Shelley with the X Division Championship, but he walks out, and the three of them lay out Alex Shelley to end the show. (When the segment airs on AXS TV, it airs with absolutely no sound, and the show goes off with no warning after Bully Ray's entrance. The segment is also muted on Fight Network as well. Meanwhile, the YouTube members-only premiere was unaffected. As a result, the segment is aired in full on YouTube soon after the show goes off the air, and IMPACT Wrestling apologizes to the fanbase for the technical issues.)

Bostic says he is tired of the fans' disrespect, and that every week, he comes out and does what he says he will do, such as beating "The Pope" Elijah Burke, go on a massive winning streak, and go face to face with The Pope, whom he calls out. A man dressed like a papal figure shows up on the back of a golf cart and gets in the ring, and Bostic says he is tired of the man blessing the fans, then says he beat The Pope because he is blessed by God before slapping the man around. The real Pope shows up and tells Bostic he has half the mind to get in the ring and slap the hell out of him, but he will not do that because he will respect the wishes of the DCW Board of Directors. He then puts Bostic on notice, saying he will get in the ring and beat the hell out of him next week.

Backstage, Damon Becker interviews "The Golden Boy" Jordan Clearwater, who takes offense to being called "The Golden One," then says the United World Championship is not around his waist because of Jonny Loquasto and Danny Limelight. He says they are both scheming against him so that the title stays on Danny's waist, then says he does not appreciate Moose sticking his name in his business and that he should not have to qualify for what is his birthright. He says that Moose will find out what pure gold really looks like when he steps in the ring with him.

PCO shows up, but he is soon attacked from behind by Champagne Singh and Shera and thrown into the ring, and Maclin heads to the back as Singh and Shera continue their attack on PCO.

The Impact Plus Flashback Moment of the week is Magnus (Nick Aldis) vs. Christopher Daniels on the February 14, 2013 episode of Impact Wrestling.

We hear from The Design (Deaner, Angels, Kon). Deaner says he trusted Sami Callihan despite what others told him, and Callihan betrayed him and The Design so he can be his own man. He says that Callihan is not a machine, as machines feel no pain and Callihan will feel every ounce of pain The Design will give him for his betrayal. Deaner says that if he is willing to kill Eric Young, then one can only imagine what he will do to Callihan. He tells Callihan to watch tonight, as what The Design will do tonight is only a fraction of the pain in Callihan's future.

We hear from The Coven (Taylor Wilde and KiLynn King). Taylor Wilde asks a spirit to bring pain to Deonna Purrazzo as part of a spell. Taylor has her misgivings about the effectiveness of the spell, but KiLynn King says it will work.

Before the next match, "Outlandish" Zicky Dice mentions the "Road To Fifty," then says he and Johnny Swinger will fix their winning streak tonight. Zicky Dice then brings out Swinger's opponent due to a language barrier, and that opponent is El Dineroco, who is Zicky in disguise.

Johnny Swinger quickly beats El Dineroco with a La Magistral Cradle, finally giving Swinger his first win of fifty. After the match, it is obvious that Zicky Dice is El Dineroco, then Director of Authority Santino Marella shows up and says the victory is nullified. Johnny Swinger then kicks Zicky Dice to the curb.

Backstage, Kenny King meets with Channing Decker. Channing admits that Kenny King was the better man and thanks him for the opportunity, and Kenny shakes his hand before thanking him for allowing him to beat his ass in his hometown. Kenny King then meets with Sheldon Jean and says that while he has potential and reminds him of himself, potential is nothing without someone to steer the ship. When Sheldon asks what is going on, Kenny tells him he has to keep his head on a swivel in IMPACT as people keep talking about Nick Aldis over him and worry about what it is in it for himself.

He says that he left in 2014 because of tumultuous management who did not care what he or his peers were doing.

Avalon makes it known that he wants a fight with Bateman, and Loquasto tells him he and the committee will make it happen.
