Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 3, 2015

Ethan Carter III shows up with Tyrus and two young ladies to a barbershop quintet singing his theme song. They all celebrate EC3 being #1 on the Impact Top Five. After teasing everyone with the prospect of Tyrus dancing, EC3 states that the World title is his only conquest left, and he calls out Kurt Angle in order to "commemorate his final days as champion." Kurt Angle shows up, and tells him he's not exactly #1 contender. Next week is Destination X, and though Angle is waiting for the day to shut him up, it might be Rockstar Spud as he just might cash in the X Division title for a shot at him. EC3 says he knows Spud, and says he'll make him an offer he can't refuse. As EC3 leaves, so does the barbershop quintet, but the bass vocalist gets an Angle Slam.

He cashes in the X Division title before EC3 shoves him into the corner and retreats. Angle grabs a microphone and challenges EC3 and Tyrus to a tag match tonight against him and Spud.



Bobby Roode and Austin Aries talk backstage. They're 0-2, and they need to go big or go home. Aries hands Bobby Roode a gray T-shirt.

She also mentions Velvet Sky's actions from last week and says that if she gets enough attention, she'll show up. Sure enough, Velvet Sky shows up and is allowed over the security barricade. Madison tells Velvet what her place is by slapping her, but Velver breaks her in half with a Spear before hitting a Stunner. After this, Angelina Love shows up again, and Velvet Sky fights off Love's personal security one more only to get cuffed and hauled off a second time...but not before Love attacks Velvet.

In two weeks at Money In The Bank, Kevin Owens and John Cena will have a rematch! Also, Dolph Ziggler, Neville, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Kofi Kingston and Sheamus will face off in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match!

Despite Dean Ambrose wiping out both Seth Rollins and the referee with a top rope manuever, another referee shows up and makes the three-count just in time, and Dean Ambrose beats Seth Rollins to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship...almost. The first referee is back up after the match and explains that he got hit because Rollins pushed him in front of Ambrose. Dean Ambrose still wins, but it is by disqualification and Seth Rollins still retains. Ambrose isn't okay with this, and almost falls victim to the numbers game of Kane, Rollins and J&J Security (Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble) when Roman Reigns arrives. In the end, Ambrose takes the title with him, and he and Reigns leave through the WWE Universe.
