Impact X-Division Championship
Rohit Raju (c) vs. Chris Bey vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Trey vs. TJP vs. Willie Mack
They all left the ring as Rohit left, then the champ was thrown back in. Then they started the action in the ring. This was a wild match where wrestlers entered and left the ring to trade the spotlight.
Trey hit a reverse 6-1-9 on Bey, then Mack came in and he hit a big tackle on Trey. Grace came in and tried to get Willie down, which she did, but it took about 4 shoulder tackles. Willie slammed Grace and she rolled out while selling.

They continued on and Rohit hit a suplex on Grace after they cleared the ring. “She’s got some spunk, don’t she?” Raju asked out loud. Then Grace was tripped by Willie and he came in to take out Rohit with a forearm.
Trey took a clothesline from Mack and then Mack hit a spinning back elbow on Bey. Rohit then found himself between Grace and Mack where they took shots at him. Bey and Trey got up to get some shots, too.

“Call Your Shot” Gauntlet Match
Acey Romero vs. Alisha Edwards vs. Cody Deaner vs. Brian Myers vs. Havok vs. Heath vs. Hernandez vs. Larry D vs. Rhino vs. Taya Valkyrie vs. Tenille Dashwood vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. TBD
This is a gauntlet for a shot at any title in the company.
Rhino or Heath must win, or they’re done with Impact Wrestling. If they win then Heath gets a contract.
Daivari and Rhino are the first two in the match. This was Daivari’s first appearance for Impact since 2009. Rhino beat Daivari around the ring and then when they got back in, Larry D came out followed by Crazzy Steve.
They didn’t do much, but brawl around. Then Acey Romero came out which meant that XXXL were in the match together. Tenille Dashwood entered next, along with Kaleb (with a K). Tenille didn’t get in the match, she was too worried about getting her picture taken.
Kaleb got in the ring and started wrestling. Then Havoc came in and Brian Myers entered next. Crazzy Steve was eliminated by Myers. Then Swoggle entered (Myers must have brought him).
Daivari was eliminated next and then Swoggle before Tommy Dreamer made his way to the ring wearing Road Warrior Animal face paint. Alisha Edwards came in next. Dreamer was eliminated next, and then Myers threw Alisha out.

James Storm entered next and he took the fight to everyone in the room. Adam Thornstowe from Reno Scum entered next. Myers tried to eliminate Storm, but it didn’t work.
Then Luster The Legend of Reno Scum came out. They did some tag team moves for a bit. Then Heath came out and he took to the match already on fire. Heath eliminated Myers and then Sami Callihan came out at #19, and he tried to eliminate Storm, but it didn’t work.
Hernandez came out in the final spot. Then it was a battle royal from there. Fallah Bah was sent over the top rope, but at least he had a wad full of cash while he did it, it was Hernandez’s money and he left to get him.
Thornstowe was thrown out by Rhino as they continued and then Luster was taken out. The final four were Storm, Heath, Rhino, and Callihan. Heath seemed to be hurt as Storm was sent out, too.
Then Callihan threw Heath over the top rope and the officials started to look at Heath. Callihan went to get a chair, and the referee took it away. Then he hit a Gore and got the win.
Winner: Rhino
The North cut an absolute fire promo backstage. Ethan Page was pumped, and Josh Alexander wasn’t kidding when he said they wanted to get in the best shape of their careers for Bound For Glory.
EC3 vs Moose
The “undisclosed location” was a ring in a warehouse. Moose showed up, but EC3 took his time getting to the ring. His creepy piano music also played as he got in the ring.
They stood face to face and then started trading shots. The ring was also surrounded by EC3’s followers who are controlling their own narrative, but they remained motionless and silent.
EC3 kicked Moose down in the corner as his followers started to beat on the ring apron. Moose landed a retaliation shot that sent EC3 down. Then Moose got him up and sent EC3 into the turnbuckle. EC3 started to bleed on the forehead.
Moose then got a chair and wanted to know why EC3 has been tormenting him, but the bloody EC3 didn’t say anything. Suddenly, EC3 went on the attack.
Moose got away and landed a big kick to put EC3 down. They went outside the ring and then EC3 took control as he sent Moose into a guardrail. EC3 got Moose up, and he sent him into the ring post two times.
They moved into the ring and EC3 picked up the TNA Title and he said that it means something, and Moose doesn’t deserve it. He said that Moose should become a legend, and then he can hold the title, but not he’s not a champion.
EC3 got Moose up next, and he had a flashback from his old TNA days before Moose nailed him with a spear. Moose kept asking him “is this what you want?” He mounted EC3 and paid a ton of punches into him and left EC3 laying on the mat, bloody, and beaten.
Moose tore his own shirt off that was covered in EC3’s blood. He asked EC3 is this what you want? EC3 popped up and screamed: “YES!” The followers around the ring started chanting “Moose, Moose, Moose,” and then Moose took EC3 out with the TNA Title while ominous music played.
Ken Shamrock vs Eddie Edwards
Eddie tried to lock up, but Ken wanted to strike. Shamrock eventually nailed a punch, and it rocked Eddie. Then Shamrock wrapped Edwards up, and brought him to the mat as he kept Eddie’s back.
Shamrock picked his shots with Edwards as he punched down on him. Edwards turned it around on Shamrock and then rained down some punches before Shamrock trapped Edwards’ leg and brought him down with a grapevine, but he got up. Then Ken took some strikes to Eddie in the corner.
Ken Shamrock kicked Eddie next and sent him out of the ring for more kicks and knee him in the face. Edwards was having a bad time when he took the back of his head to the guardrail.
They went back in the ring, and things didn’t get better for Eddie Edwards. Then Eddie countered with a throw and he hit a couple Dragon Screws on Ken’s legs. Then Eddie sent Ken out of the ring with a basement dropkick before hitting a dive on Callihan and Shamrock.
Edwards hit a missile dropkick for a two count. Shamrock soon had Edwards in a cross armbreaker, but Shamrock had to break the hold when Eddie pinned him in the move. Eddie hit a running elbow, and then he hit a backpack stunner before Shamrock locked on a sleeper hold.
Eddie nailed Shamrock with a headbutt and Ken took a Boston Knee Party before getting a single leg Boston Crab on Shamrock. Callihan got on the apron and he turned out the lights.
When the lights came back on, Sami was in the ring with a baseball bat. Eddie got out his kendo stick and he ran Callihan off before Ken threw him down and locked on his ankle lock to win.
Winner: Ken Shamrock

The Motor City Machine Guns (c) vs. The Good Brothers vs. Madman Fulton and Ace Austin vs. The North
The North didn’t even let the champs get to the ring. Alexander hit Shelley with a piledriver move on the ramp and the doctor immediately tended to him. As they assisted Shelley out of the arena, Ethan Page applauded him for being so brave while Don Callis called Page a “scumbag.”
The match then got started with Shelley gone. Fulton and Austin tagged in and out and abused Sabin. Alexander made a blind tag so he could continue taking the pain to Sabin.
Page held Page’s head and yelled at the camera. The Good Brothers hadn’t signed in the match next. They continued on in this tag team match.
Ethan Page took the tag and he came in to hit a few moves on Sabin prior to tagging Alexander again. Sabin continued this match as the legal man without tagging anyone.
Sabin returned fire eventually as he hit Fulton with a DDT. Then Sabin tagged Karl Anderson who was finally joining the match. Gallows took the tag next so he got to take part in the match.

They continued, and Sabin almost put away Ace Austin, but Page broke up the pinfall. Sabin sent Page outside and then Sabin climbed up turnbuckle. The North stopped him and they hit a double team move for the two count.

Yung sat Deonna in a chair and did a flipping dive of the apron onto her. Then Su Young got her in the ring, hit a Pedigree, and she kicked out at two. Su Yung put on her disgusting glove next and was looking for a Mandible Claw, but Deonna got away and accidentally kicked a referee.
Then Su couldn’t get a pinfall, because the ref was out. Kimber Lee hit Su Yung with a chair and they placed Su Yung in place for Purrazzo to jump on her, but she was caught in a Mandible Claw.

Young said: “Go home Rich, this world belongs to me! Stay down!” as he punched him. “Stop that! Stay down!” he continued to yell between strikes.
