Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for October 18, 2018

Johnny Impact shows up to start tonight's show. Johnny says that wrestling is a crazy business, then the fans chant "You deserve it!" He says that a kid, that craziness attracted him to professional wrestling, and while it was not the coolest thing to be into as a kid, he thought it was cool and got his dad to take him to wrestling shows at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles, California. He says he was into weird stuff as a kid, such as breakdancing and parkour, but he is that kind of guy and if he wants something, he'll go for it. He was told that self-financing his own movie about a bounty hunter would not work, but it's now on Netflix and he is still proud of it even if he sees "in the dollar bin at Dollar General." He thought it would be cool to be on Survivor, so he did that, too. However, one thing that every kid who dreams of being a professional wrestler dreams of being a World champion, and while he has come close and has looked like a champion, but it wasn't always his night. He says he heard it so much he almost believed it, but now he is Impact Wrestling World Champion, and all the training, fighting and believing he has done has led to this and he believes that this business is what everyone makes it. He is now the guy at Impact Wrestling, and he will not be the guy who hides between two guys, politics out of business and makes passive-aggressive tweets due to not having what it takes, and if anyone deserves a shot at the title, he will give it to them. Suddenly, Fenix shows up and congratulates Johnny on winning the world title, then says that he has won championships around the world, but never in Impact Wrestling. He feels it would be an incredible opportunity to face Johnny for the world title, and challenges him to a World title match next week. Johnny says that was a pretty convenient time because he could not say all that he said and say no, but he promises that the match will be a fight and that if it happens to be Fenix's night, he will shake his hand, as they are both friends and professionals. He says that next week, they will tear the house down, because that is what they do.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Tommy Dreamer. He says to expect the unexpected, and while Moose may be one of the greatest to go from NFL to professional wrestling, he always wants to take a shortcut to success and lost at Bound For Glory. He also says he saw the beatdown given to Eddie Edwards and felt the pain in Eddie's back that he has felt throughout his entire life. He tells Moose to expect him to beat his ass and wrap a steel chair around his head like he hasn't done in a long time, as he has never been politically correct and he is "damn proud of it."

We see footage of Moose and Killer Kross outside of the arena, where they are interviewed by Mackenzie Mitchell. As Moose talks about his custom-made Shaolin monk suit, he tells Tommy Dreamer that the chants have gotten to his head. Killer Kross cuts him off, and says that Dreamer thinks he is control, saying he may be "The innovator of Violence," but he is not the arbitrator of all decisions. He says that Moose does not accept because he does not have to. Instead, the two of them accept his challenge, and chalks up Dreamer's lack of fear to brain damage that is about to get worse tonight.

Taya Valkyrie beats Katarina. After the match, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Taya in the ring. Taya says her match with Tessa Blanchard was all about humbling Tessa Blanchard, saying that Tessa resorting to the tactics she used at Bound For Glory disrespected her, and while she used to respect Tessa Blanchard, she does not respect her anymore.

Backstage, "Reborn" Matt Sydal is glad Ethan Page has joined him, as they are on a path to transcendence and enlightenment and to show the world a little of what they are here to enjoy. They are here to open hearts, minds and thir eyes, but sometimes the pain is fraught with suffering, and at Bound For Glory, they suffered defeat. Ethan Page says that he has suffered worse, but ever since meeting Sydal, he has become more in tune with himself, and together, they are almost one mind. Sydal says that suffering leads to growth, and tonight, Ethan Page can reveal what growth he has achieved when he faces Trevor Lee and shows him how to open his third eye and see his path to transcendence. Page says that he will make Trevor Lee suffer too, and Sydal responds by saying that pain is universal.

Outside the arena, Gama Singh hits Hakim Zane with a broom again. He tells Hakim has passed the first test, and that he has the ultimate test to pass next: a match against Gama Singh himself. He gives him seven days to prepare.

Ethan Page beats Trevor Lee.

Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Rich Swann and Willie Mack. Swann says this week has been a roller coaster week since they beat "Reborn" Matt Sydal and Ethan Page after "Mack mode" showed them what was up. Willie Mack says that as soon as he got the call to take out some "enlightened jokers," they got the job done, but tonight, Swann is on his own, but he knows he can win the X Division title. Swann says the X Division title is within his reach, and while "The Machine" Brian Cage is a machine, he has charisma, athleticism and raw talent that will not be held down when Cage gets the fight of his life tonight.

Impact Wrestling will be at Sam's Town in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 11-13th!

Backstage, "The Canadian Destroyer" Petey Williams is met by "The Smoke Show" Scarlett Bourdeaux, and asks when the talent search will be over.

She is holding her first viewing party, and to send her a video and try again.

Backstage, Mackenzie Mitchell interviews Eli Drake. Eli says he looks back on Bound For Glory and sees a conspiracy where everybody wants a piece of him and a man who is not part of the company wants to swing a steel chair at him. He is also not happy with Abyss putting him through the table, then says Impact Wrestling has become an unsafe working environment, using the Concrete Jungle Street Fight between The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz) and The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez) as an example. He says he does not want to be here and needs to protect himself, and that he will be suing Impact Wrestling for an unsafe work environment.

We see The Latin-American Xchange (Konnan, Santana, Ortiz) in a bar celebrating the end of The OG'z (King, Homicide, Hernandez). All of a sudden, The OG'z shows up to deliver a message to Konnan. They had a meeting wtih the bosses, who were kind enough to let The OG'z keep a piece of New York on the condition that both factions stay on their respective side. Konnan tells King to get out, since he is not on his respective side, then leave so that LAX can get back to guzzling down shots at the bar.

Meanwhile, Lana is frustrated with not being in a storyline after making pitch after pitch to WWE creative, and Rusev asks her to stay positive.

At Nia Jax's new house, Nattie visits Nia. The house is Nia's first house on her own, and she needs a little help getting things set up. She sets it up as a housewarming party, and Trinity and Lana also show up. Lana plans to take the opportunity to collaborate with everyone else to make herself more identifiable on the SmackDown Live roster.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Brie and Nikki try to set up their office when Paige calls. Paige says she will be in the area for the next few days and wants to know if they want to hang up. Brie and Nikki are ecstatic at the idea as Paige says she wants to get caught up on things. Brie hopes to have more of a "rock 'n roll weekend" compared to the awkward tea time that they had the last time they all got together.

At Nia Jax's house, Nattie is trying to build a bookshelf, but has problems with the instruction. Meanwhile, Naomi is not happy with the idea of having to do work at Nia's house, and Lana has no idea what to do. Nattie feels Nia's heart is in the right place, but she does not exactly want to be a part of this. At the same time, she does not want to hurt Nia's feelings.

At Brie and Bryan's house, Paige shows up. Even though it is outside of her comfort zone, Paige is enjoying her SmackDown Live General Manager role. She tries to take the opportunity to learn things from Brie and Nikki so she can be taken more seriously. Brie and Nikki also show off the home office.

At Nia's house, Nia finds out everyone has left and that nobody is answering her phone calls back, and has to do everything herself. Meanwhile, Lana, Trinity and Nattie all went to a hotel to sleep, and on the way to a shopping trip, Lana tries to bounce ideas off of Nattie to become more noticeable on WWE programming to see what sticks.

Brie, Nikki and Paige hang out in San Diego and head to a dive bar called The Tipsy Crow to play pool and have a good time.

Nattie, Lana and Trinity go shopping to try some character ideas for Lana. Lana notices that nobody on the women's roster has full, light pink hair, and buys some hair color, knowing that she will probably get in trouble if WWE does not like it.

At Nia's house, Nattie, Trinity and Lana make up with Nia. As Trinity helps Nia paint the walls, Nattie helps Lana color her hair light pink. It doesn't work out very well, and when Nia finds out what is going on, it gets very awkward.

Paige asks Brie and Nikki for advice on how to deal with criticism, and opens up not people calling her nasty things, having private things being leaked onto the Internet and contemplating suicide. Brie and Nikki open her up to looking at things in more of a positive light.

At Nia Jax's house, Lana is still in the shower as Nattie learns what "balls deep" actually means. As Lana gets her hair dried, Nia finds pink hair color on her bathroom wall. An irritated Nia and the rest of the women almost butt heads, with Nia saying that this home is a dream of hers after living modestly throughout her life and everyone else saying that they were not expecting to be put to work when they showed up, and just want Nia to be honest. Nia proposes that they all leave the house and go have some real fun after learning to appreciate what she has managed to do on her own.

Brie, Nikki and Paige find a business where people pay to smash cars to let loose some anger and stress.

Everyone also has fun at the pool, but Nattie tells Lana that her hair looks like "dusty, dingy pink." Lana storms off and heads into the family restroom where Trinity is, and Nattie has to follow her to apologize for being brutally honest. Lana wants to not look like everyone else, but everyone has to remind her that her spirit makes her unique and that nobody else has come out on a tank at WrestleMania. Lana decides to go back to being blonde, then everyone has fun at the pool again.

Backstage at SmackDown Live in Baltimore, Maryland, Paige is able to enjoy being on shows more often after her talk with Brie and Nikki. Meanwhile, Lana talks with Vice President of Talent Relations Mark Carrano, who tells her that she is back on television.
