It shows Sami Callihan’s X Division Championship victory, Johnny Curtis being carried out of the building following his battle with Bram, and Andrew Everett’s return to help his team retain the World Tag Team Championships. We then see a picture of Drew Galloway at the top of the Ladder, with Maria on the other side. This is followed by stills of Drew Galloway falling through the air and Michael Bennett unhooking the Championship to win the match.

Borash says that this Sunday’s Genesis was a huge start to the tour and tonight it continues in Glasgow, Scotland. With that, Drew Galloway’s music hit and he makes his way down to the ring. Upon entering the squared circle, Galloway takes a microphone.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway_zpsncwukkrz.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway_zpsncwukkrz.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway opens up by saying that it’s great to be back home! And when he says that, he isn’t just talking about him being back in Scotland, he’s talking about this entire company. This is Impact Wrestling’s second home and the Maximum Impact Tour is the highlight of everybody on this roster’s year. Which means that every single person in that Locker Room is going to up their game to satisfy the greatest fans in the entire world! On top of that, Impact Wrestling management know that these are the company’s most loyal fans, and they will be rewarded. Tonight, in the main event of Impact Wrestling, Michael Bennett will once again defend his World Heavyweight Championship. This time Michael won’t have to face four other competitors, and he won’t have to climb a Ladder to retain his Championship. Instead, Michael Bennett will go one on one, right here in Glasgow… against Drew Galloway!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr>As the commentators react to that bombshell, they send over for a “Live Reaction” from Michael Bennett backstage.

He turns to his wife, seemingly in panic, asking her how “they” can do this? Maria tries to calm him down, but Michael won’t be reasoned with. He tells Maria that this does it, he knows that there’s somebody out to get him, and he’s going to find out who. Michael then storms off, with his wife following close behind.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41727" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>X Division Tag Team Match</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/65a9e66d-8d16-4245-890b-efd2dec5bf1d_zpsj8dedsoi.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/65a9e66d-8d16-4245-890b-efd2dec5bf1d_zpsj8dedsoi.png</span></a><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Mark%20Andrews_zpsssdeqmr1.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Mark%20Andrews_zpsssdeqmr1.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/DJZ_zpsyzlpqfhy.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/DJZ_zpsyzlpqfhy.png</span></a><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/TJP_zpsywnjlmkr.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/TJP_zpsywnjlmkr.png</span></a><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Joel Redman & Mark Andrews vs. Them Young Go Hards</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Back to ringside, the opening match of the night saw two UK natives go up against DJ Z and TJ P. Designed to excite the fans, in the early goings the fast paced match went back and forth, with little in the way of story. While each side did have spell of control, it was largely an even match, with tags coming thick and fast and signature moves being executed from the opening bell. As the match continued, the X Division Tag Team rules came into play and the match began to fall apart. In the chaotic environment, Joel Redman and Mark Andrews were able to take control and finished DJ Z off with Mark Andrews hitting a Moonsault, following an Olympic Slam from Joel Redman.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winners:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Joel Redman & Mark Andrews (in 6:59)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the British duo celebrate in the ring, they are interrupted by the entrance of the newly reunited World Tag Team Champions, Andrew Everett and Trevor Lee.

BEEF then does a series of stereotypical “wrestler” poses in the ring. Having heard enough, Andrews and Redman leave, not wanting to get involved in BEEF’s pantomime. Nonetheless, BEEF continues to run them down, likening them to Killer Elite Squad, who he helped defeat this Sunday at Genesis. However, the Championship is now back with Andrew Everett and - despite the cast on his arm - he is 100% fit to compete. They have been derailed, but “The New Wave” are right back on trajectory to become megastars. It isn’t often BEEF promises something, but when he does - as a former X Division and Tag Team Champion - people should listen. He guaranteed Lee & Everett would become household names, and… before he can finish that thought, BEEF is cut off by the music of Bobby Roode.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Bobby%20Roode_zpsp5cfhitj.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Bobby%20Roode_zpsp5cfhitj.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Bobby Roode runs down the ramp, and is met by Andrew Everett and Trevor Lee. Feeling he’s walked straight into trouble, BEEF begins to heckle Bobby Roode. Roode - whose chance at the World Heavyweight Championship was stolen from him by Lee & Everett - gets the better of the World Tag Team Champions, much to the surprise and concern of BEEF. As Roode enters the ring, BEEF tries to escape but is cornered by Bobby Roode. BEEF begs for Roode to leave him alone, but the scorned “IT Factor” grabs him by the scruff of his neck. Roode tells the former Chief of Staff that, even though he wants to beat his ass, he barely figures on his radar at the moment. Roode demands BEEF tell him where Eddie Edwards is! Lee & Everett may have put their hands on him, but he knows Eddie was behind it! BEEF is clearly intimidated by Roode, but insists that he has no idea. As BEEF appears to be on the brink of breaking down, Roode releases him, throwing him down to the mat. Bobby Roode says that he wants Eddie Edwards out here right now, but he knows Eddie is too much of a coward to show his face. That’s fine with Roode, because he can just as easily go into the back and find Eddie himself!</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> From that, we cut to “Earlier Today” where we see a familiar face arriving at the building.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Eric%20Young_zpsjb06pxjb.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Eric%20Young_zpsjb06pxjb.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While it’s been a couple of months since we’ve seen Eric Young in Impact Wrestling, he appears to have loosened up, and was in good spirits as he entered the building.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Looking back at this Sunday’s Genesis Pay-Per-View, we are shown a series of stills from Johnny Curtis’ match with Bram.

They could give him a certificate, a button or a trophy… the physical object is immaterial to what he is here to do. Sami Callihan promised chaos, he promised destruction and he promised to deconstruct the systems that were in place in Impact Wrestling! The things that people took for granted, the “truths” they held sacred, Sami Callihan is here to destroy everything that they believe in. Rockstar Spud believed that he was the archetype of what an X Division Champion should be. He said the right things, he did the right things, he offered “opportunity”. But Sami Callihan broke that mold, he took “the challenge” and he walked out with Rockstar Spud’s most prized possession. Callihan doesn’t carry the Championship as a symbol of pride, nor does he carry it for the prestige of being a Champion.

Feeling that victory was vital to remaining in contention for the Tag Team titles, Myers and Lock were highly motivated going into this match. While this helped them early on, The New Rising soon appeared to take hold of the match, with Micah overpowering Trenton Lock.

He is clearly pleased with the victory, but seems conflicted as to Myers blatant cheating. BJ Myers responds to his doubts with a shrugs, saying “we’ll beat them at their own game!” With that, a smile grows across the face of Trenton Lock and the pair embrace. Jeremy Borash suggests that this change in attitude could be a result of their recent misfortunes, while Dinero believes it could be the edge which pushes them towards the Tag Team Championships!</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Returning from the break at the end of the first hour, we see Michael Bennett in the back.

He asks Matt Hardy if he really wants to do this with Bram, knowing what he knows?</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Matt Hardy tells Bram he isn’t afraid of him, and he’ll fight him any time! Bram steps up and looks Matt Hardy in the eyes. He tells Matt Hardy that he can see that he doesn’t want it. Bram has called his bluff, but he suggest that Matt Hardy backs down. Matt shakes his head, saying that he isn’t scared of anything. He is going to fight Bram! Bram laughs and says he knows they’re going to fight, he just wanted to know that Matt was ready. Bram then throws a fist at Matt Hardy, who was ready for it and blocks the shot. Matt Hardy is fired up and fights back. Bram tries to slow Matt down, but he is a man possessed. Matt Hardy’s intensity surprises Bram and he soon retreats to the outside. Hardy tells him to bring it, and as Bram tries to come back under the ropes, Matt begins to lay boots into him. Matt won’t let Bram return to the ring and eventually “The Chesterfield Plague” has no choice but to back off up the ramp. As Matt Hardy stands tall, the commentators suggest that his brother’s injury has brought something we’ve never seen before out of him!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41727" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Six Knockouts Tag Team Match</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/8d71aa1d-6142-4276-bd25-43e3dc8bbb06_zpskoxnikpq.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/8d71aa1d-6142-4276-bd25-43e3dc8bbb06_zpskoxnikpq.png</span></a><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Jade_zpsl3pbf6a7.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Jade_zpsl3pbf6a7.png</span></a><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Madison%20Rayne_zpsp1pc0dpa.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Madison%20Rayne_zpsp1pc0dpa.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Kimber%20Lee_zpsftnp9for.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Kimber%20Lee_zpsftnp9for.png</span></a><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Laura%20Dennis_zpssb8dtktm.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Laura%20Dennis_zpssb8dtktm.png</span></a><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Marti%20Belle_zpsvgk3wfaj.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Marti%20Belle_zpsvgk3wfaj.png</span></a><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Alisha, Jade & Madison Rayne vs. Kimber Lee, Laura Dennis & Marti Belle</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As discussed before the match, Jade’s team clearly all trusted and respected each other and is showed in their performance.

Ignoring her for much of the match, when Marti did enter the ring, she was offered no help or support from her teammates.

Rockstar Spud’s phone then begins to ring and when he pulls it out of his pocket, he looks extremely surprised.

Of course, there was no escape and his uncertainty didn’t help him in the early stages of the match. Playing right into Drew Galloway’s hands, the challenger took charge of the match. Still frustrated from this past Sunday, Galloway took his anger out on the World Heavyweight Champion, reigning down with some vicious strikes. This proved to be the course of much of the match, and Michael Bennett looked dangerously close to losing his Championship on a number of occasions.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When Michael Bennett did eventually gain footing, it was predictably as a result of his wife’s influence on proceedings. From here, the Champion looked to break down his opponent, targeting the legs of , Bennett looked to remove the explosive base from Drew Galloway’s offence. This changed the outlook of the match and Bennett grew in confidence the longer he was in control. Despite his frustrations at Galloway continuing to get back to his feet, Michael Bennett managing a near fall following a Running Knee Lift, gave him the belief to zone in for the finish.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Michael Bennett lifted Drew Galloway to his feet, looking to set him up on shoulders. Galloway managed to fight out, with some elbow strikes which knocked Bennett off balance. Galloway was able to hit the Champion with a Clothesline and both men were down in the ring. Galloway was up slightly earlier, but when Maria grabbed his leg, Bennett was able to get the better of the exchange. This resulted in a second spell where Michael Bennett looked set to end the match and when he hit Drew Galloway with the Double Underhook Facebuster, the commentators felt the match was over. Bennett pinned Galloway for the 1… 2… Kickout!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Drew Galloway kicked out, Michael Bennett recoiled, looking to his wife for the next move. She went to the announcer’s table, grabbing the World Heavyweight Championship from ringside. This distracted the referee and as Drew Galloway ordered her to put it down, Michael Bennett hit him with a Low Blow. Drew Galloway felt down and Bennett quickly followed up with another Running Knee Strike. He pinned Galloway for the 1… 2… Kickout! Once again, Michael Bennett was in shock as Drew Galloway showed his unmatched resilience. Michael Bennett backed into the corner, and Borash soon recognised that he was going for “The Blacklist” Curb Stomp. However, at the last moment, Drew Galloway managed to move out of the way. As he got back to his feet, Galloway span round and hit Bennett with a Discus Lariat.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Once again both men were in a race back to their feet, and this time Drew Galloway stayed away from the corner, ensuring that Maria couldn’t get involved. As he went after Michael Bennett, the Champion once again became concerned. He tried to back away, but Galloway grabbed him and looked to be in complete control of the match. Continuing his impressive comeback, Drew Galloway took the fight to Bennett, eventually hitting him with a Future Shock DDT. Drew Galloway covered Michael Bennett, gaining the 1… 2… 3? Or so Drew thought. At the last moment, Maria had placed her husband’s foot on the rope, saving his World Heavyweight Championship. Drew Galloway was furious, but knew he had to continue to fight against the continued rule breaking, just like he’s done in the past. Galloway climbed to the top rope, going for a Top Rope Splash. As he did, Maria once again got involved, grabbing Drew Galloway’s leg. Then, as Galloway came off the top turnbuckle, Michael Bennett made it back up and hit the challenger with a Double Knee Facebreaker (Codebreaker). As he often does, Michael Bennett pulled another new move out of the bag, looking to finish the match. Showing to be as difficult to beat as one another, Drew Galloway once again kicks out of what most expected to be the decisive move.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> At this point, even the commentators were becoming exhausted, saying that between the “super human” resolve of Galloway and the relentless involvement of Maria, this match could go on all night! However, the makeup of the match soon changed, as the referee became tired of Maria’s continued involvement. Having once again attempted to bring the World Heavyweight Championship into the ring, Maria got into an argument with Brian Hebner. Hebner took the Championship to the corner of the ring and ordered Maria to leave the ringside area. During this heated discussion, Michael Bennett grabbed the World Heavyweight Championship and struck Drew Galloway in the head with it. As Maria dropped down from the apron, Bennett chucked the title to the outside and covered the unconscious Drew Galloway. Brian Hebner seemed confused, but counted the: One… Two… Thr… KICKOUT!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Unbelievably, Drew Galloway managed to roll his shoulder up at the last second, causing the commentators to lose it. Inspired by the fans from his home country, Jeremy Borash claimed that “nothing” would be able to keep Drew Galloway down. What followed was a “hulk up” style comeback from Drew Galloway, who had been bust open by the World Heavyweight Championship cracking against his skull. Rallying the audience behind him, Drew Galloway - now on an even footing after Maria’s dismissal - was fired up by the taste of his own blood. He hit a Discus Lariat to Michael Bennett, before grabbing him by the hair and pulling him to his feet. Drew Galloway then hit a Future Shock DDT to the Champion, planting his head squarely into the mat. With Bennett down, Galloway transitioned into his signature “Iron Maiden” submission hold. Following a brief attempt to escape the hold, Michael Bennett had no choice but to tap out, as the bloodied Drew Galloway wrenched back on his shoulder!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway (in 13:27; </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>NEW World Heavyweight Champion!</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following the ringing of the bell, Drew Galloway slumps backwards, releasing the former Champion to roll out of the ring. Successfully regaining the title in his home nation, having never been pinned to lose it in the first place, the emotion and exhaustion is overwhelming for the now two-time World Heavyweight Champion. As he manages to prop himself up on the ropes, Galloway is handed the World Heavyweight Championship and holds it close, becoming fixated on the center plate. He then climbs to the second turnbuckle, kissing the Championship, before raising it high above his head.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew points out to the audience, who he then joins in celebrating his victory. Leaning into the front row, he lets out a roar of celebration and embraces the fans who are delighted to be part of his victory. Having overcome multiple hurdles once again - both in the lead up to the match and during it - Drew Galloway has undoubtedly earned the right to call himself Impact Wrestling’s World Heavyweight Champion!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Seemingly signing off the show, Jeremy Borash pays tribute to the “super human” performances that Drew continues to pull out when the heat is on. He uses this to promote the unpredictability of the Maximum Impact Tour, but is cut off when attention turns to the entrance way. Backing up everything Jeremy Borash had just said, a familiar face makes his way through the curtain...</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Initially in a stunned silence, Jeremy Borash eventually refers to the man as “former World Heavyweight Champion” Magnus. Dressed in a suit, he has a Championship over his shoulder, which Borash says is the “GFW Global Championship”. Magnus stares down to the ring, not taking his eyes off Impact Wrestling’s new World Heavyweight Champion. Cutting his celebrations short, it appears that Drew Galloway is just as confused as everybody else in the building. Magnus maintains a stern look on his face throughout, not giving anything away regarding his reappearance in Impact Wrestling. With a “cliffhanger” style ending, Jeremy Borash implores everybody to tune in next week, where he’s sure this will all be cleared up...</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Bennett tells the people to strap in, because he’s got a lot to say. Bennett knows this is a serious allegation - and he wouldn’t be saying it if he didn’t know it to be true - but he knows that there is somebody out to get him… he knows that there is a </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>conspiracy</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> against Michael Bennett!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The commentators sell the accusation, saying that Impact Wrestling management will not like to hear this. Bennett says that whether it’s to do with Kurt Angle, or those who give him the orders, Michael Bennett is not being treated like the other guys in the back. Ever since he came to Impact Wrestling, he has done nothing but win. No matter who was put in front of him: Bobby Roode, Mr. Anderson, Lashley, whoever they put him up against, he put them down! Then he defeated Davey Richards, and everything changed. Kurt Angle did their bidding, but the way Michael Bennett was treated changed at the flick of a switch. Now he was the Champion, it wasn’t meetings with coffee and handshakes, it was radio appearances across the country, meet and greet sessions and travelling the globe putting in the hours. That is to be expected, but when you represent a brand as well as Michael Bennett has done, you expect to be rewarded. Or at least cut a bit of slack, slack like not being made to defend the World Heavyweight Championship twice in 72 hours. Michael Bennett asks the people what Champion, in any company in the world, has been put through what Michael Bennett has?</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Michael Bennett refuses to be silence and he will not be moved. When that match was made last week, he promised Kurt Angle on thing. If he lost the Championship, there would be hell to pay. Well Michael Bennett is going to stay in this ring, until he gets what he wants.

They make him want to wash his eyes out with bleach! He says that he’s heard about British teeth and all the Island in-breeding, but Glasgow must be the undisputed hotspot for these genetic deformities. In fact, he is making it official as he declares Scotland as “The World’s Ugliest Nation”. Which is why he has come out to the ring, and is going to offer his advice on polishing a turd… before he can continue, Johnny Curtis’ music begins to play and “The Real Man” makes his Impact Wrestling return!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Johnny%20Curtis_zpsrndivv95.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Johnny%20Curtis_zpsrndivv95.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Johnny Curtis speaks slowly and sensually saying that the last time anyone saw him, he was on his back getting pummeled by Bram.

But that’s not why he’s out here right now, he’s out here because Jessie Godderz is spewing nonsense about these good people. Johnny Curtis has been here before and he has something of a following on this Island.

Coupled with his unorthodox in-ring style, Jessie Godderz struggled to work Johnny out early on, and this gave Curtis a good start. While Jessie Godderz worked his way back into the match with some good work, he never really dominated the way he would have likely. Eventually, Johnny Curtis regained control of the match and took Jessie down with a “Johnny Kick”. From here, he was able to set up for his finishing move, hitting him with a Springboard Leg Drop to pick up the victory!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Johnny Curtis (in 5:12)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After the match, Johnny Curtis is stopped on the ramp. He takes the microphone from the interviewer’s hand and says that he loves being right here in the United Kingdom. He can feel the love, so instead of talking about “haters”, Johnny has a message for the lovers! Johnny Curtis says that when it comes to being a “Real Man”, it isn’t about how often you go down… a “Real Man” has no problem going down.

when it comes to brutal bruisers like EY and KES, experience means very little. Taking the match to their opponents, Eric, Harry and Lance enjoyed a very successful start to the match, throwing their smaller adversaries around the ring, with revenge clearly on their minds.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The case of Eric Young is a strange one, following a rivalry with Bram, something changed within “The Maniacal” bully. Following a brief hiatus from Impact Wrestling, Eric Young returned to Impact Wrestling last week, saving the man whose career he has tried to end on multiple occasions, Bobby Roode. While those actions are yet to be explained, it appears from his approach to this match that his involvement was more about getting his hands on Eddie and co., than helping his long-term rival. On the other side, we had the Killer Elite Squad, who - following Andrew Everett’s return from a Broken Arm - had been screwed out of the World Tag Team Championships at Genesis. Still chasing the gold, with the added incentive of gaining revenge, Harry Smith and Lance Hoyt took the fight to “The New Wave”, who struggled to cope.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While Edwards’ team did have some good spells, the passion and hunger of their opponents was too much. With Eddie appearing intent on just getting out of the match alive, he incurred the wrath of EY, who wanted to get his hands on Edwards. This resulted in the match spilling over, and a brawl breaking out between Young and Edwards. As they brawled out of contention, Killer Elite Squad looked to deal with the World Team Team Champions.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When Trevor Lee looked to get involved illegally (by climbing to the top rope and attempting to take Harry Smith out), Lance Hoyt pulled him from the top rope and threw him to the outside. This left Andrew Everett to fend for himself and he looked to pick up the victory by once again using his cast to the team’s advantage. This time, when he swung at the man he knocked out at Genesis, Harry Smith was ready and pulled the cast from his hand. Worried about his unprotected hand, Andrew Everett found himself on the end of a Killer Bomb, as Smith tagged in Hoyt. Ensuring that nobody could break up the fall, Hoyt pinned Everett, gaining victory for his team!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winners:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Eric Young & Killer Elite Squad (in 10:30)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following the conclusion of the match, Lance Hoyt and Harry Smith stood tall in the ring. Picking up Andrew Everett’s cast, Harry Smith looks towards his partner. Jeremy Borash points out that had it not been for that cast striking the back of Harry Smith’s head, the Killer Elite Squad would be stood here as Tag Team Champions! After a discussion with his partner, Harry drops the cast on the ground and puts his foot through it. Standing tall in the ring, KES make it clear that they’re still on the trail of the Championships!</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Opening up the second hour, the Impact Wrestling cameras are in the Locker Room of Lashley.

He tells Roode this is silly, his problem isn’t with BEEF… he didn’t even have anything to do with that Ladder match. Bobby Roode says that might be true, but last week BEEF made himself a part of it. BEEF concedes that point, but says that Eddie Edwards doesn’t need him, anybody can see that. This problem is with Eddie Edwards, not him or Lee and Everett. Bobby Roode says that he’s right, it wasn’t about them - but they’ve made it personal. Bobby Roode was just inches away from the World Heavyweight Championship and Lee & Everett stuck their noses in. With that said, he was willing to let all that slide, because he knew that Eddie Edwards was (to use the term loosely) the brains behind that operation. All they had to do was get Eddie Edwards in this ring, either last week or this week, but instead they decided to mess with him. Well Bobby Roode no longer just has issues with Eddie Edwards, they’ve all pissed him off! If he has to go through every member of this so called “New Wave” to get to Eddie Edwards, then he has zero problem doing just that!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Now on the outside, the referee escorts BEEF to the ring, ensuring his participation in the match.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41727" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/BEEF_Ring_zpsuq4jumiv.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/BEEF_Ring_zpsuq4jumiv.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Bobby%20Roode_zpsp5cfhitj.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Bobby%20Roode_zpsp5cfhitj.png</span></a><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>BEEF vs. Bobby Roode</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Anybody who has seen BEEF wrestle before, will have known what to expect from him going into this match. Implementing his usual tactic of “avoiding contact at all costs”, BEEF’s instinct to run away kicked in from the opening bell. While he managed to evade capture for a surprisingly long amount of time, when Bobby Roode eventually caught him he has just about ready to blow. What followed was a brutal beatdown from Bobby Roode, who took out the anger he has towards Eddie Edwards and The New Wave, on the defenceless BEEF. Looking to send a message back to his associates, Roode wasn’t content with victory and absolutely destroyed BEEF.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Having done sufficient damage, Bobby Roode got tired of toying with BEEF and took him down to the mat.

He shouted to the back that he was “coming for” Eddie Edwards, before dragging BEEF back to his feet by the hair. Bobby Roode pointed towards the ramp, before hitting BEEF with a Roode Bomb. Bobby Roode then stands tall in the ring, as the commentators point out that if there was any doubt before, tonight has made it very clear that Eddie Edwards doesn’t give a damn about BEEF.

That was until the end of the match, where Matt Hardy - incensed by Bram’s continued gloating on the outside - left the ring and picked a fight with “The Chesterfield Plague”. While this went on outside the ring, the referee was distracted, allowing Sami Callihan to rake the eyes of Rockstar Spud and hit him with the Double Knee Gutbuster! </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winners:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Bram & Sami Callihan (in 6:58)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After the match, Bram and Matt Hardy continued to brawl, with their rivalry showing no signs of slowing down.

While they’ve teamed before, Lashley and Richards will not be over familiar with each other inside the ring, and Pope believed that this explained the tentative start. Unsurprisingly, as the match went on, Richards and Lashley found their feet, beginning to up the intensity. Two of the hardest hitters in Impact Wrestling, the two men went to great lengths to outdo the other. With Lashley having the size and strength on Richards, “The Lone Wolf” had to rely on his technical nous and athletic ability to avoid the match getting away from him.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Both men proved to be extremely resilient, with a number of close falls as the match appeared to be reaching it’s conclusion. Growing frustrated at being unable to keep Lashley down, Davey Richards began to attempt to wear him down, but the Dual Sport Superstar had an answer at all times. Richards’ best shot came when Lashley went for a Running Powerslam. Richards managed to reverse the move, locking Lashley into a Dragon Sleeper hold while on his back. Lashley refused to fade, but Davey eventually transitioned into a Guillotine Choke hold. As Lashley began to waver, he desperately attempted to get to the rope. It appeared as though Davey Richards was close to pulling off an upset, beating Lashley at his own game. However, in a last ditch move of desperation, Lashley used his final reserves of strength to lift Richards up and throw him to the outside. Coming out of nowhere, Richards wasn’t prepared and took a very nasty fall to the outside, hurting his ribs - which have been a constant issue since his rivalry with Sami Callihan - and left shoulder. As the referee reached the 9 count, Davey Richards returned to the ring, only to be hit with a vicious Spear from Lashley, which compounded the injury. Lashley pinned Davey, picking up the 1… 2… 3!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Lashley (in 9:23)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After the match, Lashley stands tall on the second rope, with Jeremy Borash commending Davey Richards’ effort. Pope says that Davey can hold his head high, but if Lashley hits that Spear, it’s all over! Despite the glowing reviews, Davey Richards doesn’t share the announcers’ positivity. He is clearly in severe pain, but appears more focussed on the defeat. Furious to have lost a fight that he picked, Davey Richards leaves up the ramp, clearly annoyed at himself for letting a mistake cost him.</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As we are welcomed back from the final commercial break of the night, we are told that it’s time for the first appearance of Drew Galloway as World Heavyweight Champion. Introduced in his home nation of Scotland, Drew Galloway makes a long entrance, embracing his compatriots before entering the ring.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway%20WHC_zps4mcrh9ob.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway%20WHC_zps4mcrh9ob.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway takes a microphone and appears to be having the time of his life. Drew says that last week, in this same building, he became the World Heavyweight Champion! He may have been Champion before, but to celebrate this moment with the fans who have backed him since day one is a moment he will never forget. He says that since he won the title, people have been coming up to him, suggesting that they buy him a bottle of champagne, fill the ring with confetti, or dress the ring in red, but he doesn’t need any of that. Drew Galloway says that being World Heavyweight Champion, in this building, means more than anything money can buy. When he faced Michael Bennett, with this entire building behind him, Drew Galloway knew that tonight was the night. Very few times in his career has he felt how he felt last week, but when he stepped in the ring and the bell sounded, he knew that there was no way that he was going to leave without the Championship!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Galloway talks about how when he came to Impact Wrestling, he had one goal. Behind the taglines and the slogans, it boiled down to one thing… he wanted to ensure that the fans were getting the show that they deserved. Galloway knows what it’s like to be a fan, and he knows what it’s like to be given a steaming pile of crap and knowing that he deserves better. He’s faced closed doors, he’s faced rejection, but since he joined Impact Wrestling, he has found his home. Now, with the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder again, he has to continue to represent this company all over the world. No matter where he goes, and whoever he meets, he will never forget where he came from… he will never forget the global family that he has accrued over the 15 years that he’s been in this business. Drew Galloway says that he has made the ultimate sacrifices in his all encompassing </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>obsession</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> with Professional Wrestling, and tonight he holds the Championship that tells him that everything he’s strived for, everything he ever believed about his ability, was all worth it.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As great as that moment was, Drew Galloway knows that there’s something of an elephant in room. Last week, as they shared one of the greatest moments of Drew’s career - whether by design of not - Magnus came out and, if he’s honest, kind of overshadowed his moment. Galloway is sure there’s a reasonable explanation, so if Magnus would like to come out to the ring and explain himself, Galloway is more than willing to listen… after a brief moment, Magnus’ music begins to play and he walks down to the ring.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Carrying the GFW Global Championship over his shoulder, Magnus enters the ring. Each standing with their respective Championships, the two men go face to face. Magnus breaks the tension with a smirk on his face. Dressed in a suit, Magnus opens by saying that he feels slightly overdressed next to the t-shirt and jeans wearing Drew Galloway. He says he’s just kidding, it’s great to meet him.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway doesn’t seem to be in the mood to joke around just yet, asking Magnus to explain himself. Magnus says that they’ve met before, Drew might remember that when he joined Impact Wrestling, Magnus was coming off the back of holding that World Heavyweight Championship. But in truth, they were ships in the night. As Drew Galloway began to establish himself in Impact Wrestling, Magnus was on his way out of the company. But as soon as he left, and he watched the continuation of a movement that he was at the forefront of, he knew that he had unfinished business. Because when Dixie Carter looked to move Impact Wrestling in the often cited “new direction”, he was the man put forward as the poster boy of the new generation. Before Drew Galloway, before Ethan Carter, this company put their stock in him. Through the very toughest times in this company’s history, during the moments of complete and utter uncertainty, Magnus gave everything he had to keep this company’s head above water. That isn’t just him talking, they can ask anybody who was there as Bad Influence, AJ Styles, Sting… and even the company’s </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>founder</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Jeff Jarrett jumped off the sinking ship. Throughout it all, Magnus gave absolutely everything to be the company man that the </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>his</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> bosses needed him to be.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> But as Jeff Jarrett closed one door, he opened another for Magnus. And when Magnus made the decision jump ship, he did it because Jeff Jarrett showed him the respect that he deserved, but that Dixie Carter and her yes men refused to give him. As Drew Galloway and Ethan Carter began to rise through the rank, Dixie became fixated with her “new toys” and this so-called youth movement saw him cast to the side. While at GFW, Jeff Jarrett gave him the opportunities that he’d earned. So while Magnus may not have got the send off he was due to first time around, Impact Wrestling is now in </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>his</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> backyard! The biggest Maximum Impact Tour in history, he couldn’t help but drop by. Magnus tells Drew Galloway that there is no question, he is one of the best Professional Wrestlers on the planet, but the fact is this: Magnus is the future of this entire business. He grew up in front of worldwide television cameras, but he stands here today as a man. A man who has proved himself everywhere he has gone (Magnus looks to his Championship), and vindicated every decision he has ever made. He came into Impact Wrestling as a boy, but the Magnus in front of them right now is a husband, a father… and a Champion!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With that said, Magnus stands here today with another goal in mind. He may not be in contention tonight, but as the UK knows, this is the land where the impossible comes true. Magnus makes a vow, by the end of the Maximum Impact Tour, as Impact Wrestling touches down at Wembley Arena... he will be the Number One Contender!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Magnus then drops his microphone and leaves the ring, following a final staredown with Drew Galloway. Jeremy Borash says that it must have felt great for Magnus to get that off his chest, but now the countdown is on… Magnus has just 6 weeks to make himself the top contender to Impact Wrestling’s World Heavyweight Championship!</div></div></div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see Magnus’ claims of having “unfinished business” in the company and his vow to become the Number One Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, by the time that Impact Wrestling arrives at Wembley Arena!</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr>Following that video package, the music of Magnus begins to play and he makes his way down to the ring. Tonight, he isn’t wearing a suit and doesn’t carry the GFW Global Championship. While he dressed to impress on his return, it feels as if we’re once again getting to see the “real” Magnus, as he embraces the audience who are receptive to his Impact Wrestling return.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Magnus takes a microphone and has a beaming smile on his face. He says that there has been ups and downs in his relationship with Impact Wrestling, but to be here in Manchester, on the Maximum Impact Tour is an honour. Magnus says that he’s been away for a while, but he knew that the fans in the UK wouldn’t forget his seven years in the company. Whether he was a modern day Gladiator, a British Invader, or the Main Event star… Magnus took whatever was thrown at him, and did </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>everything</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> in his power to entertain these people. Words were said, conversations were had, and - in the end - Magnus left the company. But that didn’t mean he forgot the fans. Instead, he’s travelled all over this country, representing a rival organisation, proving that he is a man who can be relied on, and will fly the flag for any company that he believes in, and that believes in him. He will give blood, sweat and tears to repay whoever shows faith in </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>him</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> to deliver inside the squared circle. While those in charge of Impact Wrestling forgot that, he knows that the fans appreciate anybody who wears their heart on their sleeve and gives everything for this business. </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> But right now, he isn’t here to represent a company, he’s here to represent himself. Magnus says that he’ll beat the GFW drum all day, but the reason he’s back in Impact Wrestling is all about Nick Aldis, the man behind the “Magnus” name, and the man who will become the </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>next</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> World Heavyweight Champion!

Coming face to face with Magnus for the first time, Bennett is clearly sizing him up. Michael Bennett is handed a microphone and takes a minute to compose himself, he is clearly furious to hear Magnus staking claim to the World Heavyweight Championship. He asks Magnus who the hell he is? Magnus just laughs it off, so Michael begins to speak. Bennett says that if Magnus isn’t going to introduce himself, then Bennett will give him a little catch up on who </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>he</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> is.

Bennett says that he knows that the Redcoats hated freedom, but he thought the British might have grown out of that by now. But of course, they were just acting on the wills of those in charge. The official line may be that Impact Wrestling management aren’t on this tour, but the speed at which security came out last week, he knows that there’s somebody in the back pulling the strings. So while his legal team deal with the BS he had to deal with last week, it’s his job to deal with Magnus. Bennett tells “The Mag Daddy” that his time has passed, and the bar in Impact Wrestling has been raised significantly since Magnus left. By him!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Michael Bennett says that if Magnus think he has any chance of becoming the Number One Contender, then he will have to pull off the impossible and beat him! Magnus smiles again, telling Bennett that’s exactly what he intended to do. He asks the audience if they want to see Magnus vs. Michael Bennett, right here tonight in Manchester! Michael Bennett immediately looks to back out, despite what he had said moments before. As Bennett looked to make an excuse, Maria took the microphone, telling him that this show doesn’t run on Magnus’ terms, it runs on theirs! “The Impact Wrestling Power Couple” then leave the ring, to the frustration of Magnus.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr>Cutting to the backstage area, we see Trevor Lee and Andrew Everett.

They know Roode is desperate to hold onto his spot, but they are the World Tag Team Champions, and if Bobby Roode thinks he can go through them to get to Eddie Edwards, then he’s mistaken. Trevor Lee adds that if Roode wants to fight them, then they’ll see him later tonight… there will be no running, and no hiding from their end. Bobby Roode called them out? Then they’ll see him in the middle of the ring tonight!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr>Back to the ringside area, Rockstar Spud makes his entrance.

Spud says that this is Impact Wrestling’s highlight of the year, and he knows that tonight’s show will be a special one… before he can continue, the music of Them Young Go Hards begins to play. DJ Z & TJ P appear on the ramp.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/DJZ_zpsyzlpqfhy.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/DJZ_zpsyzlpqfhy.png</span></a><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/TJP_zpsywnjlmkr.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/TJP_zpsywnjlmkr.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> TJ P mocks Rockstar Spud, saying that if meeting these losers is the highlight of his year, then he obviously doesn’t have much going on in his life. DJ Z adds that he’s been partying all over the UK since they arrived and he hasn’t seen a single person who looks like any of these ugly, fat nerds in the audience. TJ P says that they’ve travelled the world, and no matter what town, city or country they’re in, wrestling fans always go above and beyond when it comes to living up to stereotypes. DJ Z tells the audience to give themselves a round of applause because they’ve topped them all, they truly are the most disgusting crowd that he’s ever had to wrestle in front of.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41727" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>X Division Match</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/DJZ_zpsyzlpqfhy.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/DJZ_zpsyzlpqfhy.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Spud_zpslijb09ni.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Spud_zpslijb09ni.png</span></a><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>DJ Z vs. Rockstar Spud</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As well as the audience, Them Young Go Hards’ pre-match words had also riled up DJ Z’s opponent for the night, Rockstar Spud. Showing in his performance, Rockstar Spud took the fight to DJ Z immediately, with the match looking nothing like your usual X Division contest. Despite Spud’s dominance, he eventually lost hold of the match, partially due to TJ P’s distraction from the outside. This allowed DJ Z to take control, and he used his fast paced offence to maintain control of the contest.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While Rockstar Spud fell close to defeat on a number of occasions, he refused to stay down for the count. Eventually, as DJ Z’s frustrations grew, Spud found his way back into the match. Taking DJ Z down, it was clear that Rockstar Spud was closing in on victory. At this point, TJ P decided to get involved, and he climbed up onto the ring apron. Despite his distraction, Spud was able to move out of the way as DJ Z came at him, causing Z to hit his partner, knocking him back down to the ground. Spud was then in position to hit the Underdog, allowing him to pick up the victory.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Rockstar Spud (in 6:02)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Before Rockstar Spud had much chance to celebrate his victory with his fellow Brits, he was jumped from behind.

Callihan then takes a microphone and sits cross-legged next to Rockstar Spud. Speaking to his unconscious rival, Sami tells Rockstar Spud that these people love him. Fans all over the world love Rockstar Spud. He asks Rockstar Spud how it feels to be loved by fans all over the globe? He holds the microphone to Spud to answer, but of course, Spud is unable to reply. Beginning to rock slightly, Sami Callihan says that this (pointing to Spud) is why he never cared what the masses thought of him. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>This</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> is why he doesn’t give a damn about being “their” Champion.

Sami Callihan shouts that Rockstar Spud will </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>never</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> hold the X Division Championship again.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Spud begins to regain consciousness, Sami Callihan lays a series of punches to his forehead, ensuring he can not get up. Sami Callihan says that he knows “no limits” and there is nothing he won’t do to defeat Rockstar Spud once again. Callihan doesn’t care what these people deem to be unacceptable or what boundaries he breaks, because he doesn’t exist within their limited scope of tolerance. Sami Callihan lives without limits, on the edges of their society… and he dares anyone to cross over to his side of the tracks, and take his X Division Championship!</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Heading over to the Locker Room, we join Michael Bennett and Maria mid conversation.

From the opening bell, the action was fairly frantic, with Laura Dennis and Kimber Lee looking to work together and eliminate the two other opponents. This allowed them to dominate much of proceedings and after they felt the work was done, Laura Dennis went to pin Alisha. However, when Alisha kicked out, the plan fell apart.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> From behind, Ayesha Ray took Laura Dennis out with a Big Boot. Ayesha went to pin Laura Dennis, but Kimber Lee broke up the fall. As Laura Dennis rolled out of the ring, Kimber Lee had a chance to step out of Dennis’ shadow. As the match continued between Ayesha and Kimber, the Brit appeared to be in control. However, as Alisha returned to the ring, she took Ayesha down with a Crossbody. Looking to gain momentum, Alisha looked set to dive to the outside, until she was rolled up by Kimber Lee. Surprisingly, Alisha was unable to kick out, and as Laura Dennis came round, she saw her “sidekick” pick up the victory.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Kimber Lee (in 5:30)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After the match, Kimber Lee is conflicted, but looks delighted to be the Number One Contender. On the outside, Laura Dennis is in shock, given the “plan” was for her to pick up the victory. Laura Dennis stared at Kimber, who realised that her partner was not happy. Dennis then stormed off, leaving Kimber in the ring.</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> In the backstage area we see Lee & Everett in their ring gear.

After last week, when he got his ass kicked by Bobby Roode, he’s done! If they want to do Eddie’s dirty work, that’s their hill to die on. He says that he’s done his best to bring them closer together, but Eddie Edwards is trouble! BEEF tried to make things better for Lee & Everett, but he never wanted anything to do with Edwards, and he doesn’t now.

BEEF says it’s about this whole journey. He took them under his wing so that he could make them stars, and he has reconnected with a huge contact in Los Angeles who is ready to put their faces everywhere. They’ll be on talk shows, they’ll be in movies, they’ll be… Andrew Everett cuts BEEF off, unimpressed by what he had to say. Everett replies simply, saying “we just wanna wrestle”. The World Tag Team Champions then leave the room.

Magnus on the other hand, he has a lot of respect for. He’s coming back with some huge claims, but he hasn’t shied away from backing them up. He came out, he called out the Champion, and now he’s calling out the former Champion. Drew says this could go one of two ways for Magnus. He can either prove that he deserves to be in the conversation, or he will face the ultimate embarrassment. That takes guts, and if he had to chose between the two, he’d hope that Magnus would come out on top. With that said, Maria’s presence at ringside means that he tips the balance slightly in the favour of Michael Bennett.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic

Magnus says that he made the decision which he knew would be best for his family, and he is proud to be a husband and father. Magnus says that while they are his priority, he’s always had the belief that there was unfinished business in Impact Wrestling. He spoke to his wife, and she told him that he had to do this.

Magnus says that he had a lot thrown at him, but he always did his best to make whatever opportunity he was given entertaining. Even if it was just 2 minutes on the Spin Cycle, Magnus gave 100% in everything he did, and he still does to this day. Magnus says that the day he walked into Impact Wrestling - with a cheap gladiator costume - nobody would’ve believed that he’d become the World Heavyweight Champion.

Magnus has proved he has the capacity to make a history in this business, and he isn’t done by a long shot! A lot of people talk, but Magnus is somebody who has backed everything up he has ever said.

With Bobby Roode recovering on the outside, Eric Young was tasked with attempting to deal with both men. Evident by their exceptional rise in their first year in the company, Lee & Everett are difficult for two men to beat, so EY was clearly up against it. Eric’s passion allowed him to stay above water for a short while, but soon the scrappy, relentless pressure got to him. From here, the World Tag Team Champions managed to dominate much of the rest of the contest.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When Eric Young was eventually able to reach his partner on the other side, he brought in a clearly less that 100% Bobby Roode. He was however much fresher than he was earlier, and attempted to take the match to Lee in the ring. Having been unable to process the situation regarding Eric Young, Roode had no choice but to continue to fight alongside him. Despite the comeback, Lee & Everett managed to remain in the contest, and soon Bobby Roode’s pre-match injuries caught up with him. Seemingly losing his orientation, Roode struggled to stay in the contest and looked to bring Eric Young back in. However, as Roode reached the corner, Andrew Everett had ran around to the other side and pulled him from the apron. To Bobby Roode, this appeared as though Eric Young had turned his back on him, and with the confusion surrounding his partner, Roode fell straight into Trevor Lee’s trap.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Apparently bringing us close to the conclusion, Lee & Everett set Roode up for a Double Team Move. Now the legal man, Andrew Everett climbed to the top rope, but was dragged down by Eric Young. The referee warned EY, but he wouldn’t let up on Andrew Everett. He also took the fight to Trevor Lee, as the referee lost control of proceedings. As EY refused to leave, the referee had no choice but to disqualify the team of Bobby Roode and Eric Young.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winners:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Lee & Everett (in 6:29; by Disqualifications)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Unable to control his temper, Eric Young took down both of the World Tag Team Champions.

Bobby Roode - annoyed to have been cost the match - questions Eric Young’s actions, and EY looks to explain himself.

This surfaced throughout the match, as they were caught of guard by the fast paced offence of Mark Andrews, and the technical stylings of Joel Redman. Catching Mark Andrews on a Crossbody, Micah was able to slow down the homecoming highflyer, which gave his team chance to dictate the match.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While The New Rising looked favourites to win the match, a miscommunication led to a shock result. When Micah went to tag in Eli, the referee correctly pointed out that Drake didn’t have his hand on the tag rope. While the tag did happen moments after, Micah clearly wasn’t happy with Eli and told him as much. With this distraction, Mark Andrews was able to roll up Eli Drake, gaining victory for his team.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winners:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Andrews & Redman (in 5:35)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following the match, Eli Drake points the blame at Micah for their defeat.

Richards tells Tyrus that he has no idea how Davey feels. Lashley is one of the best, but so is Davey! Richards says that’s something Tyrus knows nothing about, so he’d better keep out of Davey’s business.

Magnus paused to take in the atmosphere of his first match in Impact Wrestling for almost two years. He looks around the audience as the two men circle the ring, looking for the opening lock up. As Magnus continues to take in the reception from the audience, Michael Bennett suckerpunches him, allowing him to take control of the match for the opening minutes. Looking to take out the legs of Magnus, Bennett begins to focus on the Englishman’s knees, eventually locking in a Figure Four Leg Lock which had the recently returned start scrambling for the ropes. While he eventually got free, a significant amount of damage had been done, and Bennett began to enjoy himself. Pope suggested that the bar has been raised in Impact Wrestling since Magnus was last here, and he is finding out the hard way!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the match continued, it became increasingly likely that Magnus could suffer an embarrassing return defeat, one that would surely kill his claim to the World Heavyweight Championship dead in the water. Following a TKO, Bennett pinned his opponent, gaining a two count that was very close to ending the match. At this point, Maria became extremely vocal, telling Michael Bennett to go for the kill. This signaled the moment he would hit the Running Knee Lift, a move which has ended multiple matches in the past. The Knee connected, and Magnus fell to the outside of the ring. When Bennett brought him back in, Magnus struggled to get back up, and - as Magnus was on his hands and knees in the middle of the ring - Michael Bennett set up for “The Blacklist” (Curb Stomp). Bennett ran at Magnus, attempting the move that would certainly end the match. However, at the last moment, Magnus moved out of the way. Bennett planted his foot straight into the mat, and appeared to jar his knee. Coming back, Magnus hit a Chop Block to Michael Bennett, bringing him down to one knee, before following up with a stiff European Uppercut. Bennett fell backwards, and as he came back Magnus hit a vicious Clothesline.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Both men fell to the mat, but Magnus was up first. It was clear that the momentum was shifting, and Magnus began an impressive comeback, which only stopped short when Maria got involved. Having hit Bennett with a “MDD”, Magnus looked to pin the former Champion. Of course, before he could go for it, Maria was up on the apron, causing the referee to lose focus. As Magnus got up to get rid of Maria and refocus the referee, Michael Bennett took out his damaged knee. Bennett then dragged Magnus to the center of the ring, looking to lock in Sharpshooter. While Bennett almost got the move locked in, it was clear that he too was struggling with the wear and tear of the match. Through this hesitation, Magnus was able to reverse Michael Bennett’s hold, locking in a submission of his own, in the shape of the Cloverleaf. Try as she might, Maria couldn’t reach Michael Bennett in the ring, and he in turn could not make it to the ropes. After a pained struggle, Michael Bennett had no choice but to submit to the Cloverleaf!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Magnus (in 11:24)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following the victory, Magnus’ arm is raised by the referee.

Despite Michael and his wife’s best attempts to break the hold, Bennett was left with no choice but to submit. As Magnus celebrated his triumphant return, his moment was overshadowed by the appearance of Drew Galloway.

Having fell out with the roster members that he’d previously respected, Davey Richards appears to have alienated himself from all of his friends, and has also seen his in-ring performances suffer. Looking to get himself back on track, Davey Richards took the fight to Tyrus, but struggled to break down the 300 lbs+ brawler. Richards continued to target the legs of Tyrus, but the much stronger competitor’s power proved too much for “The Lone Wolf”.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Tyrus’ dominance in the match grew, Davey Richards had to dig deep. He remained in the contest, proving his exceptional resilience and continued to throw stiff strikes at Tyrus. Coming back into it, Richards found some success in breaking down the biggest competitor in Impact Wrestling, but could not bring him down to size. Davey Richards came close on a couple of occasions, hitting a Dropkick to the leg of Tyrus, which finally dropped him down to one knee. Richards then hit a Roundhouse Kick to Tyrus, but the big man wouldn’t go down. Always ready to adapt, Davey Richards went to the top rope and attempted to hit a Crossbody to finally take him to the mat. As Richards came down from the top rope, he connected with Tyrus, but couldn’t take him down.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Instead, Tyrus caught Davey Richards and looked set to slam him down to the mat. Richards continued to fight, managing to maneuver in a way which allowed him to lock a Guillotine Choke. Similarly to his match with Lashley, Richards’ opponent began to fade, with Tyrus going down to one knee. Tyrus tried to fight out, managing to return to his feet. Obviously seeing the success Lashley had two weeks ago, Tyrus attempted to dump Davey Richards to the outside. This time however, Davey Richards managed to find the top rope with his legs, saving himself from the fall. Richards then used the strength in his legs to push off the ropes, ensuring that the hold remained locked in tight. Now in the middle of the ring, Tyrus began to fade, eventually falling to the mat. As Tyrus stopped struggling, the referee checked on him, calling for the bell as the big man proved unresponsive.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Davey Richards (in 9:27)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following the confirmation of his victory, the commentators put over the impressive performance of Davey Richards. He fought and battled, digging deep to overcome the biggest competitor in Impact Wrestling. D’Angelo Dinero says that beating somebody twice your size is near on impossible, but as Davey Richards continues to prove, anything is possible with his unique drive, passion and work ethic. If only he could get his head straight, the sky would be the limit for Davey Richards!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After his arm is raised by the referee, there is no time to dwell of his victory for Davey Richards.

Maria demands that Gail admits to the conspiracy against “The Impact Wrestling Power Couple”. Gail Kim is confused, she doesn’t understand where the “conspiracy” comes into it. Last week, all she saw was Michael Bennett tapping out, and Maria’s attempt to influence the match fail. Michael Bennett interrupts, telling her that they won’t pull the wool over his eyes.

If there was ever an advert for the importance of the World Tag Team Championships, then this match was it. Battling for the right to face Lee & Everett, both of these duos gave everything - from the opening bell - to prove that they were the team most deserving of the World Tag Team Championship shot, This resulted in a back and forth match, where both teams enjoyed spells of control. Despite their disagreements in recent weeks, and The Kings feeling their position is under threat, the respect between these two team had remained in tact, and the match was contested completely fairly.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This didn’t mean that frustrations didn’t become apparent in the match, particularly from BJ Myers. As a result, the intensity of the match stepped up, and this played into the hands of Smith and Hoyt. They have of course wrestled in some of the Japan’s most physical demanding promotions, and as a result can go toe to toe with just about anybody. The Kings of Queens remained in the match, but the longer it went, the less it appeared they would pick up the victory. They did come close on one occassion, as Trenton Lock hit a Moonsault to the standing Harry Smith, which allowed him to gain a two count. K.E.S eventually managed to take control of Lock, with BJ Myers coming in to a little more success. Even BJ’s momentum was stopped dead after only a short while, as he missed with the Heat Seeking Elbow, a move which could well have finished the match.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> In spite of their best efforts, The Kings of Queens eventually succumbed to defeat, as Myers was sent to the outside and Lock was hit with a “Killer Bomb”.

Watching on from the outside, Borash implored The Kings of Queens to get back in the ring and help the team they’ve just had a competitive match with. Simply watching, as K.E.S are taken apart, The Kings of Queens throw their hands up, deciding to leave up the ramp. Jeremy Borash understands that they’re unhappy, but says that he expected better from The Kings.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With the focus back on the ring, we see Lee & Everett hit stereo Double Foot Stomps from the top rope, leaving the challengers laying in the ring!</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following the commercial break we are back for the second hour of Impact Wrestling.

Magnus asks the audience what they thought of his victory over Michael Bennett? Magnus says that the sound of Michael Bennett tapping on the mat was music to his ears. It may not have made him Number One Contender, but it was certainly a huge step in the right direction on his Road To Wembley. Magnus says that he’s waiting with baited breath to hear what his next challenge is. Not making him wait long, Drew Galloway appears on the ramp, joining Magnus in the ring.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway_zpsncwukkrz.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway_zpsncwukkrz.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway leads an applause for Magnus, telling him that he was very impressed by his performance in last week’s Main Event. Galloway says that he’s been in the ring with Michael Bennett, so he knows exactly how difficult it is to secure a positive result against him. With that said, Drew agrees that Magnus is still some way from becoming the Number One Contender. Drew Galloway wonders whether Magnus has it in him to keep up with Impact Wrestling’s best. Magnus takes this as a challenge, telling Drew Galloway to name an opponent, name a time and a place and he’ll prove to Galloway that he deserves to go one on one with him for the World Heavyweight Championship. As it appears that Drew Galloway is about to answer his question, the music of Michael Bennett begins to play. Coming to the ring alone, Michael Bennett is still in a horrible mood.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/4ab28c72-7d68-4317-b2b3-5a043329495b_zpslvpleu6p.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/4ab28c72-7d68-4317-b2b3-5a043329495b_zpslvpleu6p.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Michael Bennett says that this conversation shouldn’t even be happening, he’s insulted that either of them have the front to even pretend that they deserve to hold that Championship. That title that Drew Galloway took from Bennett was stolen, the match should never have happened. If Drew truly believes in the fairness and the values that he so happily shares week in and week out, then he should give the Championship back to Bennett, and remove himself from the company wide conspiracy to destroy him. Right now, both Drew Galloway and Magnus are complicit with a crime. Bennett offers them both the chance to clear their conscience.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway and Magnus look to each other and smile, dismissing the delusions of Bennett, causing the ex-Champion to flip out. He gets heated and begins to shout in their faces. Michael tells them that this is his Championship, this is his Number One Contendership and he shouldn’t even have to take his rematch! Magnus takes exception to Michael Bennett’s tone and pushes him to get him out of his face. Michael Bennett comes back at Magnus, but is hit with a “Mag Daddy Driver” in the middle of the ring. As Bennett holds his back, and clambers back to his feet, Drew Galloway places his Championship on the mat and runs at Bennett. Drew Galloway hits a Claymore Kick to Michael Bennett, laying him out cold in the ring. Standing tall once again, Drew Galloway and Magnus go nose to nose.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>A video package plays showing the moment last week when Eric Young lost control during a Tag Team match.

Roode understands that EY meant well last week, but why is Young trying to help him at all? Eric Young says that he can’t justify his actions over the last few years, and he won’t even try to. EY was unhappy for a long time, but now he feels back to being himself. The competition, the toxic environment around the company, Eric Young got lost.

EY says that his words mean nothing, but he knows that his actions will prove that he means what he says. Roode nods his head at Young, telling him that he doesn’t exactly have a clean record himself, he too has treated his friends badly when he set his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship. Roode extends his hand to Eric Young, telling him “don’t let me down”. EY nods, and promises that he won’t. While he clearly isn’t 100% convinced, it appears Roode will be giving Young the benefit of the doubt.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41727" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>X Division Match</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Sanada_zpsyg2t0udi.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Sanada_zpsyg2t0udi.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.png</span></a><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Sami%20Calihan_zps1w4ghh8y.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Sami%20Calihan_zps1w4ghh8y.png</span></a><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Sanada vs. Sami Callihan</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Used to overaweing his opponents with his physical style, it took Sami Callihan a few minutes to adapt to the equally high intensity style of Sanada. This allowed Sanada to give the best showing of anybody who has faced the new X Division Champion.

Hitting his signature Double Knee Gutbuster, Sami was able to pick up another impressive victory.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Sami Callihan (in 6:54)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Immediately after the match - having been attacked by Calihan earlier today - Rockstar Spud came down to the ring.

Despite his words in recent weeks, BEEF unsurprisingly loses his voice when confronted. Edwards tells BEEF to keep his name off his tongue and asks him who the hell he thinks he is? BEEF asks Eddie to back off, he wanted them to be friends. Everything BEEF tried, helping him in matches, offering him advice, Eddie threw it back in his face.

The Kings insist that they will become World Tag Team Champions, Lock says they’ve worked too hard, for too long, not to. When asked about the attack from Lee & Everett, and how they just watched K.E.S get destroyed, The Kings grow irritated. BJ Myers tells the interviewer that what Lee & Everett do is not their business. He says that he’s sick of this idea that it’s his job to help other people out. The Kings of Queens have only one priority, and that’s the success of their tag team. Trenton Lock adds that for too long they’ve tried to be “good guys”, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that to make it in Impact Wrestling, you look after number one. Myers vows that this isn’t over, they will find a way, and they will become the next World Tag Team Champions!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr>Back to the ringside area, we see Johnny Curtis take a microphone.

Usually speaking in a “sensual” way, it appears that we are getting to hear from the man behind the antics tonight. When he joined Impact Wrestling, he instantly locked horns with Bram. For months they battled, and at Genesis they went to war! While Johnny came out as the loser, nothing keeps him down. Curtis says that he came to Impact Wrestling to be the best, but tonight it’s Bram who is in the Main Event. Johnny talks up that match, saying that he knows it’s going to be a great match. That’s what he wants, Johnny wants to be the star… that is why he came to Impact Wrestling! While Johnny Curtis is looking for a new direction, he admits that he’s in high spirits tonight. That’s because we’re in the UK, on the Maximum Impact Tour. That can mean only one thing, “Impact Wrestling…. Manchester, England… Lets. Get.

Instead of the evasive style we’ve been used to, Curtis goes after TJ P in the early goings. This serves him well until TJ P’s speed and athleticism allows him to come back into the match. Throughout the match, TJ P gives a very good display of himself, albeit eventually proving unsuccessful. Despite having most of the offence in the match, TJ P made a mistake, which resulted in him diving from the top rope, into a reverse Atomic Drop. Johnny Curtis took this as a turning point in the match and eventually hit a “Johnny Kick” to TJ P. Going to the top rope, Curtis hits a Diving Legdrop, allowing him to pick up the victory.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Johnny Curtis (in 5:23)</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Following the match, the commentators send to a video package.

Just like his brother Jeff, Matt will end up face down in the middle of the ring, and his family will be crying for him. Matt Hardy was the one who picked this fight, and all these idiots have bought into his talking. But Bram doesn’t care about these people, and he doesn’t care about Matt Hardy.

Going straight into the brawl, Matt Hardy takes the fight to Bram, who clearly wasn’t expecting this much fire from his opponent. Doing well in the early stages, Matt Hardy eventually succumbs to Bram’s vicious style, as the two men spill to the outside. While both are proficient in using their environment to their advantage, Bram gets the first blow, throwing Matt into the Steel Ring Post. This allows Bram to take control of Hardy, who he drags by the hair back into the ring. From here, Bram is able to lay into Matt, using his brutal brawling approach to keep him down. After a few minutes, Matt Hardy is struggling and Bram goes for the Brighter Side of Suffering.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Matt Hardy fights out of the move, and it appears that he is ready to mount some offence of his own. The two men continue to fight, with Matt growing back into the match. While momentum appeared to be swinging his way, Matt allowed Bram to get in his head, and when Bram - who had been irish whipped into the corner - made comment about Matt’s brother Jeff, he lost it. Forgetting about the match, Matt began to lay punches and kicks into Bram, dropping him to the corner. Despite the referee’s protestations, Matt refused to back up. Once the referee had counted to five, he had no choice but to disqualify Matt.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Bram (in 7:29; by Disqualification)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The sound of the bell wasn’t going to stop Matt, and as the referee tried to intervene, Matt pushed him away. The commentators said that they couldn’t condone Matt’s actions, but with Jeff Hardy still suffering from his match with Bram, they understood why Matt had flipped. Hardy continued to lay into Bram, eventually bringing 2 Tables into play. While Bram had vowed nobody could keep him down, it appeared that Matt Hardy intended on doing just that.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Putting Bram on one Table, and climbing onto the other, Matt Hardy set Bram up for a Side Effect. Crashing through the Tables, Matt Hardy was soon back to his feet, with Bram laying motionless in the middle of the ring. The show ends with the fired up Hardy being escorted to the back. Jeremy Borash looks at the downed Bram in the ring, saying he’d never seen Bram the victim of such an attack.

20LEgend Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Harry Smith Injured Is BEEF going to turn face? Also, your knockouts division is becoming really interesting, a lot of new faces. The worry is whether the audience will accept such a weasel as a good guy. I have a few ideas, but it's definitely something I've wanted to try at some point, just for how much he'd have to do to get the rest of the roster on board. The way he's going at the minute is leading to something which I'm looking forward too, and will hopefully be big for at least one person involved in the storyline. Thanks. Knockouts (like the X Division) is something I struggle with, but I'm enjoying have the crutch of Gail Kim taken away. It's a bit chaotic at the minute, but hopefully a new generation of Knockouts can become established over time. Also, just to give this a bit of a diary related update: <hr> Maximum Impact Tour Update: Harry Smith Injuredhttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Harry%20Smith_zps050weqpe.png Reports coming out of the Manchester date of Impact Wrestling's Maximum Impact Tour have confirmed an injury to Killer Elite Squad's Harry Smith. The injury was sustained during a dark match, where Harry Smith performed as "British Bulldog Jr." Harry Smith, donning attire similar to that of his late father. Harry was teaming with Lashley and Drew Galloway, against Eddie Edwards and Lee & Everett, when the injury was sustained. It is believed that Harry will miss the remainder of the Maximum Impact Tour as a precautionary measure. This is particularly gutting for Harry, who was looking forward to performing in Wembley Arena, given his father's history at the Stadium of the same name. This is the second time in recent months that Andrew Everett has been responsible for an injury to an opponent, and rumours backstage suggest that he is gaining a reputation as something of an unsafe worker. However, it is believe that Harry Smith considers the incident an accident, and doesn't hold an ill-will towards Everett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20LEgend Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Impact Wrestling on Pop! Episode #058 Impact on Pop! Episode #58: Second City Showdown! http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Impact%20UK_zpsnpt2dfak.png Without an introduction or an opening video package, Impact Wrestling opens with the entrance of Rockstar Spud! As he makes his way to the ring, we are informed that tonight the Maximum Impact Tour rolls into Birmingham - the city where Rockstar Spud was born! http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Spud_zpslijb09ni.png Rockstar Spud takes his time approaching the ring, going all around the ringside area and embracing as many fans as possible. When he eventually enters the ring, Spud has a microphone in his hand. Rockstar Spud is delighted to be opening the show in front of his friends and family and welcomes the audience to “The Greatest City on Earth!” He says that it’s great to be back home and he’s going to make sure that this show is the highlight of the Maximum Impact Tour! Before Rockstar Spud can get into what he wants to say, Eddie Edwards and Lee & Everett make their presence known, coming down to the ring with a microphone of their own. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Andrew%20Everett_zpsx7obcqkz.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Eddie%20Edwards_zpsjidzinti.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Trevor%20Lee_zpshsfivwux.png Eddie Edwards steps up to Rockstar Spud, who is clearly warey of Lee & Everett beside him. Eddie Edwards tells Rockstar Spud that he might be a good mascot for this little city, but he must know that nobody came out to see him. No matter the city, the state or the country, Impact Wrestling fans buy tickets to see one man… (Lee and Everett give Eddie a confused look, he then corrects himself) to see just three men, and they’re the three who are stood in this ring right now! Which is why he is on the poster and Rockstar Spud isn’t. Eddie Edwards says that if Bobby Roode can get on the poster, anybody should be able to. All that proves to him is that Rockstar Spud is a nobody, just like all these people and just like Drew Galloway, Magnus, and Davey Richards will be, when he and the World Tag Team Champion take over Impact Wrestling. Looking to get his hands on Eddie Edwards, Bobby Roode is out fairly quickly and enters the ring on the side of Rockstar Spud! http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Bobby%20Roode_zpsp5cfhitj.png Bobby Roode says that if these people come to see Eddie Edwards, then they come to see him fight! He asks who in audience wants to see him kick Eddie Edwards’ ass tonight? Roode then challenges Edwards to a match. Roode tells Lee & Everett that he’ll fight any of them. Eddie Edwards has a better idea, and says that instead of a one on one match, all three of them might just beat the hell out of both of them. Eddie, Andrew and Trevor then begins to surround Roode and Spud, both of whom are ready for the challenge. Before the fight breaks out, the World Heavyweight Champion appears at the top of the ramp. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway_zpsncwukkrz.png Drew Galloway tells “The New Wave” to hold on, he thinks he can resolve these issues. Edwards looks away from his rivals, asking Drew Galloway why he thinks anybody cares about his input. Drew says that when Eddie was Champion, he called Impact Wrestling “his” show. Well now Drew Galloway is Champion, it’s his turn to exercise his “pull” around here. Since management are apparently not on the tour, he considers it his duty to announce some matches that are going to sort this mess out once and for all! Drew Galloway says that since Bobby Roode is so keen to avenge the fact he was screwed out at Genesis, he should go one on one tonight, with the guy who grabbed his leg and stopped him from becoming Champion, Andrew Everett! Although it isn’t who he wanted, Roode seems to be content with this (for now). And since they’re all in the ring, and “The New Wave” are so desperate to mark Birmingham as their “territory”, then he thinks that we should kick off with some awesome X Division action, courtesy of Rockstar Spud and Trevor Lee. Spud is happy with that, and Trevor Lee looks keen to fight. Eddie Edwards turns to Drew Galloway and says that he’s pleasantly surprised by his decision making, those are two great matches and he’s appeased both of his buddies. He calls this “Classic Galloway”, when it comes to stick his nose in other people’s business, he’s one of a kind. Drew Galloway asks Eddie Edwards what he’s going to be doing tonight, after all… he is who “these people paid to see”. Eddie laughs, saying that he’s got his rematch, he knows he’s better than Drew Galloway, so he has nothing to prove. He’s just going to sit comfortably until the time is right, then he’ll take back the World Heavyweight Championship! As Eddie goes to leave the ring, Drew tells him to hold on. Galloway says that Eddie isn’t the only one due a title match, and for that reason he’s got a lot to prove. Which is why, he thinks that in tonight’s Main Event, these people would love to see him face somebody with just as much to prove as Eddie. If Edwards doesn’t like other people trying to take “his” spot, then he should put it upon himself to be the next stop of Magnus’ “Road To Wembley”. If he thinks he can derail Magnus’ return, tonight is the perfect opportunity to do just that... Eddie Edwards says that Magnus doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near the World Heavyweight Championship, but Eddie never turns down a chance to bring someone like Magnus back to reality… he says that Magnus’ dream ends tonight, because he accepts the challenge and he’s going to give this “fairytail” the most bitter end imaginable. The branding has been drawn up, the slogans at the ready, but when he’s finished, Magnus will be left embarrassed and dejected, and he will not make it to Wembley Arena! X Division Match http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Spud_zpslijb09ni.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Trevor%20Lee_zpshsfivwux.png Rockstar Spud vs. Trevor Lee Coming back from the commercial break, only the two competitors remained in the ring. The commentators put over this “homecoming” for Rockstar Spud, while playing up the constant threat of the X Division Champion Sami Callihan, who has been a thorn in Spud’s side for some months. This never came to fruition, but it must have had some effect on Spud’s approach to the match. As a result, the opening moments were tentative, until the tenacious Trevor Lee began to take control. With his scrappy, fast paced style, it is difficult for most to keep up with one half of the World Tag Team Champions, and Spud was the latest to find this out. Clearly affected by attacks in recent weeks, Rockstar Spud found it difficult to gain a footing in the match, and Trevor Lee was brutal in an effective breakdown of the former X Division Champion. However, If there is one thing you can guarantee from Rockstar Spud, it’s his never say die attitude and a willingness to fight until the end. This rare quality allowed him to stay in the match, even after Trevor Lee had hit him with some of his signature moves. Kicking out of Double Foot Stomp, Spud slowly worked his way back into contention. Fighting back against the ruthless Trevor Lee, it was clear that Spud had taken his opponent out of his comfort zone. This resulted in an uncharacteristic mistake from Trevor Lee, who lost his footing on the top rope. Allowing Rockstar Spud to join him on the top rope, Trevor Lee was sent to the mat with an impressive Frankensteiner. From here, Lee knew he was in trouble and when he lunged himself at Spud, the hometown boy was able to avoid his attack, hitting Lee with an Underdog. Spud covered Trevor Lee, gaining an impressive victory over one of Impact Wrestling’s rising stars! Winner: Rockstar Spud (in 8:19) Following the opening match, the commentators introduce the video package that would normally air at the start of the show. We see a recap of last week’s Impact Wrestling, where Davey Richards made Tyrus pass out, and Matt Hardy left Bram laying, after putting “The Chesterfield Plague” through a Table! <hr>Cutting to the locker room, we see that BEEF has approached Andrew Everett. BEEF has seen Lee & Everett seemingly distance themselves from him in recent weeks, as a result of his personal issues with Eddie Edwards. While BEEF feels he can make the pair household names, they currently appear to be leaning towards their alliance with Eddie Edwards, over the former Chief of Staff. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Andrew%20Everett_zpsx7obcqkz.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/BEEF_Ring_zpsuq4jumiv.png BEEF tells Andrew Everett that their plan, from day one, was the most important thing. They knew it then, and they knew it now. If they see this through, then they’re guaranteed to be stars. BEEF says that his buddy is currently in New York, dealing with some “soccer” player called “Frank Lambert… or something”, but when they’re back in the States, he’s going to hook Lee & Everett up. BEEF says that they’ll be driving the nicest cars, eating in the best restaurants and hooking up with beautiful women. Everett doesn’t seem convinced, but BEEF tells him that Lee’s on board, they just need him… as BEEF says that, Trevor Lee walks through the door. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Trevor%20Lee_zpshsfivwux.png Lee asks BEEF what he’s on board with, but BEEF says he didn’t mean that… he just knows that Lee likes the finer things in life, and when they meet his friend… when he’s finished writing his new book, they’ll both be on board! Everett says that he thought he was dealing with a soccer player. BEEF says that he is, and he’s writing a book… the list of talents this guy has is off the chain, that’s why BEEF is so confident. Andrew Everett explains, they just want to wrestle! But BEEF says that he isn’t going to change that, the only person who is going to ruin their careers inside the ring is Eddie Edwards. BEEF says that while he is looking out for “The New Wave”, Eddie Edwards sees them as cannon fodder, he said as much last week! BEEF has their interests at heart. Trevor Lee says that he doesn’t doubt that, but they aren’t going to get between BEEF and Eddie. Their problems are personal, and Lee & Everett just want to focus on what really matters to them, the World Tag Team Championships! <hr>Following last week’s Number One Contendership match, Killer Elite Squad - who had been victorious - were attacked by the World Tag Team Champions, Lee & Everett. Footage from the attack shows the moment that Andrew Everett hit a Double Foot Stomp to Harry Smith. We are then informed that as a result of the assault, Harry Smith will miss the rest of the Maximum Impact Tour with injury, putting K.E.S’s World Tag Team Championship shot in doubt. <hr>Following that video package, the team who were defeated by Killer Elite Squad last week, The Kings of Queens, make their way down to the ring. Jeremy Borash points out that Myers and Lock were both present during the attack on K.E.S, but refused to intervene. As they enter their ring ahead of the scheduled match, each man takes a microphone. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/BJ%20Myers2_zpspxlcjnvj.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Trenton%20Lock2_zpstdqev5cf.png BJ Myers is the first to talk, and he says that what happened to Killer Elite Squad, and the injury to Harry Smith, is terrible and his thoughts so go out to them… but just because one guy got injured, he doesn’t see why the fans should miss out on a World Tag Team Championship match. BJ asks the audience if they want to see some Championship action tonight? Trenton Lock says that he certainly think they deserve to see some, and they will do everything in their power to make it happen! In his opinion, if Harry is unable to compete, then the result from that match from last week should be made void. No disrespect, but if you can’t step in this ring, then you shouldn’t be the Number One Contenders. But The Kings won’t be letting anybody down tonight, because they’re in action against two of the hottest talents on the UK circuit... Tag Team Match http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/El%20Ligero_zpsttozuul6.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Nathan%20Cruz_zpsetqjsign.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/BJ%20Myers2_zpspxlcjnvj.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Trenton%20Lock2_zpstdqev5cf.png El Ligero & Nathan Cruz vs. The Kings of Queens The purpose of this match was largely built around showcasing the abilities of the UK based Tag Team of El Ligero and Nathan Cruz. Throughout the match, much of the offence was performed by the exciting young duo, with The Kings of Queens being caught off guard by their impressive display. The Kings did eventually find a footing in the match, as BJ Myers brought Nathan Cruz down to the mat and slowed the pace. As the match continued, The Kings grew in confidence and despite an impressive comeback attempt from Ligero, The Kings of Queens were able to pick up the victory in a hard fought match. Following a Shining Wizard from Trenton Lock, BJ Myers hit a Diving Elbow, giving his team the win. Winners: The Kings of Queens (in 6:20) In the backstage area, the Impact Wrestling cameras have caught up with Davey Richards. Last week, he defeated Tyrus, making the big man pass out following a Guillotine Choke. Davey is asked his reaction to that victory. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Davey%20Richards_zps5vqxc4xt.png As we have come accustomed to in recent months, Davey is cold and straight to the point. He clearly has no interest in sticking around. Davey says that what he did to Tyrus last week, he can do to anybody. Whether they’re over 300 pounds, or they’re 150 pounds, Davey Richards will take down any challenger, of any size! That next target is in his crosshair, and his name is Lashley. As of this moment, the hunt… is on! http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Andrew%20Everett_zpsx7obcqkz.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Bobby%20Roode_zpsp5cfhitj.png Andrew Everett vs. Bobby Roode Coming into this match, the commentators made note of Bobby Roode’s chase of Eddie Edwards, and the increasing frustration from Eddie’s continued evasion of him. Channeling this towards Andrew Everett, Roode schooled his opponent in the early stages of the match, leaving him looking for an escape route. He didn’t get this, but when he made it to the outside, Roode made a mistake. As he followed Everett, the youngster was able to displace the Steel Steps with a Dropkick which sent them into the legs of Roode. Bobby fell over, and from here Andrew Everett gained control. Realising his opponent is much stronger than he is, Everett looked to keep him grounded and used his superior speed to do just that. Eventually, as he grew in confidence, Andrew began to vary his offence, bringing some of his signature moves into play. While he looked impressive, it would eventually prove to be his downfall. Climbing to the top rope, Everett was matched by Bobby Roode, who hit him with a Superplex. Both men were up at the same time, but when Everett ran at Roode, Bobby used Andrew’s own momentum against him, slamming him down in the ring with a Spinebuster. From here, Bobby Roode zoned in on his opponent, eventually picking up the victory following a Roode Bomb. Winner: Bobby Roode (in 7:49) Following the match, Bobby Roode stood tall. While he had suffered defeat, the commentators talked up the performance of Andrew Everett. Having given his all, they question why somebody with such abilities would rely on people like BEEF and Eddie Edwards. Andrew Everett leaves up the ramp, and Roode tells him to pass the message on to Eddie Edwards, because this is far from over! Coming back to the second hour of Impact Wrestling, Matt Hardy makes his entrance. Having laid out Bram last week - in a manner we have never seen before - Hardy isn’t finished. As he enters the ring, Matt Hardy takes a microphone. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Matt%20Hardy_zpsi1pqhxpg.png Matt Hardy says that last week he put Bram through a Table and did what he’s done to many people before. This time the roles were reversed, Matt stood over Bram’s motionless body. Matt Hardy says that he didn’t just do what he did last week for himself, or just The Hardy family. Last week he took Bram out for everybody in this building, including the guys in the back who he has picked on and who he has tried to destroy. But unlike anyone Bram’s faced before, Matt Hardy is still standing! He will. not. die! So where is Bram? Matt has been asking around and it seems like nobody has seen him all day. Bram said nobody could keep him down, but last week, it seems Matt Hardy did just that! As Matt continues to speak, the music of Michael Bennett begins to play, and “The Impact Wrestling Power Couple” make their way to the ring. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/4ab28c72-7d68-4317-b2b3-5a043329495b_zpslvpleu6p.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/c7d704d6-f8b9-4134-b040-be65f23ae86c_zpsxxu4mvbv.png Michael Bennett has had enough of this! He’s sick of Matt Hardy, he’s tired of Bram and he’s had enough of Impact Wrestling! He questions how Matt Hardy can come out here and talk about his little rivalry with Bram, when something so much bigger is going on around them. He says that Matt Hardy isn’t a stupid man, he’s been around the block more times than anybody in this company. Michael says that Matt Hardy can see what’s going on, so why isn’t he fighting for what’s right? Matt is confused and asks Michael Bennett what the hell he’s talking about, Matt Hardy is fighting, and he’s fighting for his brother! Michael Bennett shakes his head, he thought Matt Hardy was better than this, but clearly he’s going to try and sweep this conspiracy under the rug like the rest of the established names. It might be okay for Matt to work in this environment, but when his colleague - the rightful World Heavyweight Champion - is being treated like this, he doesn’t understand how Matt can stand by and let it happen. Matt Hardy tells Bennett he needs to learn something. He asks if Michael knows how long it took him to become the World Heavyweight Champion? Matt Hardy spent over 20 years working his way to the top, and when he got there… he had it taken away! Just like Michael Bennett stole that Championship in the first place, Matt had the title stolen from him. Maria takes the microphone from Michael Bennett and asks Matt Hardy if he’s really comparing himself to her husband. No offence, but Matt Hardy isn’t even close to being in the same league as him. The difference here is simple, Michael Bennett deserves to be the Champion, while Matt Hardy’s reign only serves of an indictment of the darkest days of this company's history! Matt Hardy tells Michael Bennett to get his wife out of the ring, so they can settle this like men. If Bennett is so much better than him, he should have no problem whatsoever with what… Michael Bennett says that he isn’t going to back down from Matt Hardy, and Maria leaves the ring. Michael removes his jacket, and looks ready to fight. However, as Matt takes off his t-shirt, Michael Bennett leaves the ring. Joining Maria halfway up the ramp, the pair quickly exit the stage. Matt Hardy, still furious with the words from both Michael and Maria, begins to follow them. As we go into a commercial break, the commentators say that they don’t think that this one is over just yet… <hr>Returning from the commercial break, we see that Matt Hardy is still on the trail of the “Impact Wrestling Power Couple”. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Matt%20Hardy_zpsi1pqhxpg.png Matt calls out for Michael to “man up”, as he follows them through a dark part of the backstage area. He asks where the hell they’re going, telling Michael that they’ll reach a dead end soon... however, as Matt Hardy turns a corner in the back, he is jumped from behind. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Bram_zpsoc9vo7rt.png Having lurked in the shadows, Bram - who Matt believed to be absent tonight - appears and begins laying into the man who put him down last week. As he beats Matt down, Bram asks him “do you think I’m stupid?”, while laying boots into his rival. Bram then walks off, leaving Matt Hardy out cold in the back. As he leaves the scene, Bram shouts “nobody can keep me down!” <hr>Elsewhere in the back, we see that Magnus and Drew Galloway are talking in the locker room. Earlier tonight, Drew Galloway announced Magnus’ next opponent on his “Road to Wembley”, Eddie Edwards! http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway_zpsncwukkrz.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png The pair appear to be getting along, as Drew Galloway asks Magnus his thoughts on his opponent tonight. Magnus says he can’t wait and he thinks that Eddie Edwards is a great choice. A former World Heavyweight Champion, a breakout star of 2016, Magnus can’t think of anybody better for him to prove himself against! Magnus asks Drew Galloway whether he’s ready to confirm their match after he beats Eddie, but Drew is non committal. He tells Magnus that he’s been away for a long time, and tonight performance will tell him a lot about whether he’s ready… Knockouts Tag Team Match http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/8d71aa1d-6142-4276-bd25-43e3dc8bbb06_zpskoxnikpq.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Jade_zpsl3pbf6a7.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Kimber%20Lee_zpsftnp9for.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Laura%20Dennis_zpssb8dtktm.png Alisha & Jade vs. Kimber Lee & Laura Dennis The story of this match mainly revolved around the dissent between Kimber Lee and Laura Dennis. A perfectly cohesive unit when Laura was the focal point, Kimber Lee’s victory in a Number One Contendership match caused a significant change in their relationship. This affected their performance in this match, as the self-centered Laura Dennis showed next to no interested in helping her partner. This resulted in near domination from Jade’s team, and eventually resulted in their victory. Following a Sit Out Pop Up Powerbomb, Jade covered Kimber Lee, with Laura Dennis making no attempt to help her partner. Winners: Alisha & Jade (in 5:34) After the match, Laura Dennis left straight up the ramp, showing no concern for her “best friend”. Jade and Alisha stood tall, having proved to be a better unit than the warring associates. Back in the locker room area, The Kings of Queens look to be in higher spirits than earlier. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/BJ%20Myers2_zpspxlcjnvj.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Trenton%20Lock2_zpstdqev5cf.png They are talking about how there are no active teams in the division who come close to them, feeling they are a shoe in for the next Tag Team Championships shot. As they continue conversing, Lance Hoyt walks up to them, confronting The Kings of Queens. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Lance%20Hoyt_zps5i2putlb.png He asks them what that talk earlier was about... they don’t think that Killer Elite Squad should be Contenders, just because Harry got injured? The Kings back away from the furious 7 footer, saying that they meant nothing by it, they just want the fans to get what they paid for. Lance Hoyt is clearly pissed off about their constant meddling and tells them that last week, they didn’t want their help, and they sure as hell didn’t expect it. But last week, The Kings of Queens lost, and they proved they didn’t deserve the shot. Lance says that Harry will be back soon, and they can make no mistake… they will be the ones who take the titles from Lee & Everett, not Myers and Lock! Clearly intimidated, The Kings of Queens scurry away, leaving the furious Lance Hoyt in the locker room. <hr>Returning to the ringside area, the commentators talk about how fired up Lance Hoyt is. Due to his partner being out of action, Hoyt will return to singles competition for the first time in over eight years! That match is up next, and as they say that, his opponent for the night - Eli Drake - walks to the ring with a microphone in his hand. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Eli%20Drake_zpsrbue8b51.png Eli Drake says that these dummies might have noticed something tonight, and that’s the fact that Micah isn’t by his side. While he never needed anybodies help, tonight Eli Drake steps out alone! There’s no juicy gossip, there no explosive fallout… he and Micah are just setting out on separate paths. They will always be The True Rising of Impact Wrestling, but for now The New Rising is done. Which means that tonight, whichever dummy it is that he has to face, will be bear witness to the birth of a Superstar. That’s not an insult… that’s a fact of life! http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Eli%20Drake_zpsrbue8b51.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Lance%20Hoyt_zps5i2putlb.png Eli Drake vs. Lance Hoyt Despite his pre-match confidence, Eli Drake’s singles run would get off to a terrible start in this match, against the fired up Lance Hoyt. Still furious about the nature of his partners injury last week, Lance Hoyt took every bit of anger inside of him out on Eli Drake. Drake barely managed to mount any offence before he was Chokeslammed by the big man. Hoyt covered Drake, picking up a shockingly fast victory. Winner: Lance Hoyt (in 1:57) As the match suddenly ended, the commentators couldn’t believe what they had just seen. They knew that Lance Hoyt was dangerous, but they’d never seen Eli Drake thrown around a ring like that! With Eli Drake being rolled out of the ring and helped to the back, Lance Hoyt takes a microphone. Hoyt tells Lee & Everett that they can try and take The Squad out, but it won’t work… as long as he’s still standing, the Killer Elite Squad will be represented in Impact Wrestling! His message also goes out to The Kings of Queens. They wanna act like they’re looking out for the fans, but they don’t give a damn about them! The Kings are trying to manipulate their way into the Tag Team Championship match, but Lance is here to tell anybody who is listening that when all is said and done… the titles will belong to Killer Elite Squad! The commentators then switch gears and begin to talk about tonight’s Main Event. Up next, Magnus will take the next step on his “Road To Wembley”, hoping that he can beat the man who is stood by in the interview area, Eddie Edwards. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Eddie%20Edwards_zpsjidzinti.png Eddie Edwards says that it’s Main Event time again, and that means just one thing… it’s time for him to play his part in the show. No matter where he is on the card, Eddie Edwards is always the headliner, but tonight he’s top of the bill and going on last. But tonight’s Main Event isn’t supposed to be about him, and he gets that. But Magnus wasn’t the one carrying this company through the last 12 months, because when the going got tough, Magnus bailed. It’s simple, the hype train is currently behind Magnus, but that doesn’t mean anything to Eddie Edwards. He sees it with Drew Galloway, and he’s seen it before with Davey Richards. And just like Davey Richards, when the heat's on, Magnus will be unable to cope with the pressure of being in the ring with Eddie Edwards. Just look at what sharing his spotlight did to Davey Richards, that man is on his way to oblivion and after tonight - when his dreams die - Magnus will go the same way. This story doesn’t go how Impact Wrestling management want it to… they’ve dreamed up the marketing campaign, the slogans, the Impact Wrestling Special promotional material. Everything is in place for Magnus vs. Drew Galloway. And there’s only one problem… that problem is a “kind of big deal”, because Eddie Edwards isn’t a pawn to anybody's PR game. Tonight, Eddie Edwards steps into the ring with Magnus and this whole “Road To Wembley” ends… their house of cards comes crashing down, and Eddie Edwards becomes the true Number One Contender! Dublin - Glasgow - Manchester - Birmingham - London… this is Eddie’s World! <hr>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Drew%20Galloway%20WHC_zps4mcrh9ob.png Back to the ringside area, we see that Drew Galloway has made his way to the commentary table and will serve as the third announcer for the Main Event! http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Eddie%20Edwards_zpsjidzinti.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/VS_zpszwdgl1c8.pnghttp://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png Eddie Edwards vs. Magnus Creating a big match feel, Drew Galloway joined the commentators in putting over just how important tonight’s Main Event is. For Magnus, it’s all about his “Road To Wembley”, looking to become World Heavyweight Champion in what would be a fairytale return to Impact Wrestling. On the other hand, Eddie Edwards is yet to receive his rematch for the Championship that he lost on the New Year’s edition of Impact Wrestling. Believing, like many others within the company, that Magnus hasn’t done nearly as much as he has to earn a title shot, Edwards clearly had a chip on his shoulder going into this match. What followed was a fairly slow start, as the two competitors locked up, jockeying for control of the early stages. Magnus managed to overpower Eddie Edwards, but he continued to come back, and refused to back down from the home nations hero. As he is always ready to do, Eddie Edwards adapted his style in the match, taking a ‘hit and run’ approach to offence, which served him much better than trying to go toe to toe with his opponent. While Magnus still looked impressive, it soon began to look like Eddie had his number. Much quicker, and brutal with his strikes, it appeared as though Magnus was about to discover first hand, just how much Impact Wrestling had changed in his absence. Just a few minutes into the match, Eddie set up for a Superkick, and Magnus only narrowly avoided it. This served as a wake up call to the recently returned former World Heavyweight Champion, who made it his mission to bring the match back to his level. This saw the next stage of the match take on a back and forth feel, with each man trying to one up their opponent. During this spell, Drew Galloway expanded on his feeling about both competitors, talking of his respect and friendship with Magnus. He said that he was uncertain of him at first, but since his arrival in the company he’s looked to do things the right way. That doesn’t mean that Drew is just going to give him a title shot, and he understands Eddie’s viewpoint. Drew agrees with Eddie, saying that he does deserve a rematch, and he will get. Tonight is simply a case of finding out if Magnus can still hang in the current Impact Wrestling landscape. He beat Michael Bennett, but tonight he could put any doubts to bed, by defeating a man who Drew reluctantly describes as “one of the best wrestlers on the planet”. The action in the ring backed up Drew’s assessment, as Eddie Edwards once again found himself in control. He had done what he so often does, and broken down his opponent expertly. With Magnus looking out on his feet, Eddie attacked the arm, locking in a vicious looking Cross Armbreaker. It appeared that with nowhere to go, Magnus would have no choice but to submit to Edwards. However, despite his obvious fatigue, Magnus managed to use his last reserves of strength to lift Edwards from the mat, and drop him with an improvised Powerbomb. Both men laid out in the ring, as the referee began the double countout. Magnus was back to his feet first and looked to take control of the match. He was successful and eventually hit Eddie Edwards with a Mag Daddy Driver. Magnus covered his opponent for the 1… 2… Kickout! In shock, Magnus had to go back to the drawing board, and did so immediately, as Edwards made it back to his feet. Desperately, Eddie Edwards threw a sloppy kick towards Magnus, and the Brit managed to grab his leg. Taking Eddie Edwards down, Magnus locked in a Cloverleaf - the same move that had finished Michael Bennett off, two weeks ago. Dead center of the ring, it appeared that Eddie Edwards’ was close to giving up. Of course, Eddie always has a trick up his sleeve. This came in the form of World Tag Team Champions Lee & Everett. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Andrew%20Everett_zpsx7obcqkz.png http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Trevor%20Lee_zpshsfivwux.png Running down to the ring, the two intruders left Magnus with no choice but to break the hold. As Trevor Lee climbed onto the apron, Magnus clocked him with a right hand, which sent him down to the mat. Behind him, Andrew Everett looked to take him out, but Magnus once again made first contact. Throwing Everett over the top rope, he failed to spot Eddie Edwards lurking behind him. Having fought off three men, it appeared that Magnus was moments away from turning into a Superkick. Of course, Magnus wasn’t the only one of Eddie’s rivals at ringside, and feeling that something needed to be done, Drew Galloway left the announce position and grabbed Eddie Edwards. Managing to distract him momentarily, Magnus turned around and saw Edwards arguing with Galloway. As Edwards turned and faced him, Magnus hit a Mag Daddy Driver in the middle of the ring. Climbing to the top rope, Magnus finished Eddie off with a Diving Elbow Drop, picking up an impressive victory over another former World Heavyweight Champion! Winner: Magnus (in 12:26) Despite the fact that Drew was only leveling the playing field - and saved him from certain defeat - it is clear that Magnus is torn over the helping hand that Drew Galloway gave him. If Magnus is to prove that he deserves the World Heavyweight Championship, he would have to show that he is ready for anything. Drew’s interference, while possibly saving the match, also limited Magnus’ ability to show his resilience and strength. Watching from the outside, Drew Galloway shrugs his shoulders, maintaining that he did the right thing. Magnus seems less certain, but points at the Drew and signals that he is still on the chase for the World Heavyweight Championship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see footage from the Main Event, as Magnus defeated Eddie Edwards. After Eddie’s associates Lee & Everett decided to get involved in the match - saving Eddie from certain defeat - Drew Galloway decided to even things up. His involvement led to Magnus’ victory, which despite giving him the desired result, didn’t sit well with the recently returned star.</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr>Following that video package, Drew Galloway makes his way down to the ring.

He says that while he understands that Magnus might not be happy with him getting involved, he did it because he wanted to ensure the right man won. Based on his performance to that point, Magnus didn’t deserve to be screwed over by Andrew Everett and Trevor Lee. That match was designed to see who the better man was, and as far as Drew is concerned, as soon as Eddie’s buddies got involved, he conceded the match. He asks the audience if they think Magnus deserved to win last week… as the audience respond, the music of Magnus begins to play and he makes his way down to the ring. From the look on his face, he is still upset about how last week went down.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Magnus_zpsxfskik2w.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Magnus takes a microphone and says that last week didn’t go exactly how he had envisioned it, and he still wonders what if. He doesn’t blame Drew for getting involved, he knows he was happy to sit at ringside until Lee & Everett got involved. What bothers Magnus is the fact that there will always be an asterix next to that victory. This whole “Road To Wembley” is about him proving that he deserves a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, and he feels like last week - had he beaten Eddie Edwards on his own - he could’ve taken a huge step towards becoming the Number One Contender. Had he managed to avoid the Superkick, few would have doubts over his claim to the Championship…</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Which means that the decision remains in Drew’s hand, Magnus asks him to tell him exactly what he needs to do to earn this match, and he’ll do it. Magnus says that tonight is his last chance, and whatever challenge Galloway sets him, he’ll give everything to complete it. Drew Galloway says that he too isn’t happy with how last week went, although he feels like he had no other choice. Galloway says that the match with Eddie proved that even if you are doing everything right, there’s always a chance somebody will be waiting around the corner to screw you over! Tonight he’s going to remove that possibility, because in the Main Event, Drew Galloway is going to be in Magnus’ corner, as they team up to face the World Tag Team Champions, Lee & Everett. If they can pick up a victory against the best team in Impact Wrestling, then there’s no reason that they shouldn’t headline the Wembley Arena show. Magnus smiles, pleased with the idea. As he leaves the ring, he has a warning for Drew, telling him to bring his A game in tonight’s Main Event!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>A video package plays, recapping the disagreement between Michael Bennett and Matt Hardy last week.

On the contrary, Michael Bennett has been in a tailspin since losing his World Heavyweight Championship, having clearly lost focus following that defeat. The way the match went seemed to support the competitors current states, with Matt Hardy taking the fight to Michael Bennett. The offence of Matt proved too much for Bennett, who escaped to the outside and tried to hide behind his wife Maria.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Matt Hardy attempted to get to Michael Bennett, the former Champion proved too quick and managed to get in some offence of his own, as they returned to the ring.

Michael Bennett is infuriated by this, but knows that he’s better not to get involved with Johnny, who has Tyrus backing him up. Bennett’s face goes red with impotent rage, and the pair let “The Impact Wrestling Power Couple” through. Johnny Curtis begins to gyrate his hips, watching the pair leave.

Kimber Lee and Pepper Parks’ absence from ringside didn’t seem to put her off her game, but Laura Dennis couldn’t finish off the resilient Barbi Hayden. As Laura grew frustrated, feeling her chance to send a statement with a one sided victory was slipping away, she began to make mistakes. One such error led to Barbi rolling her up, gaining a huge upset and picking up her first win in Impact Wrestling!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Barbi Hayden (in 4:29)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following her victory, Hayden is clearly over the moon.

Using his superior speed and movement in the ring, Davey Richards looked for the quickest route possible to taking Lashley down. Following an impressive flurry, he took Lashley off his feet, hitting a Roundhouse Kick to Lashley. As Davey continued to lay into Lashley, it appeared his approach was working, having caught “The Destroyer” off guard. Richards’ offence looked to be too much for Lashley, who backed into the corner, resulting in the referee getting between the two men.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Now both back to their feet, the men began to circle the ring, with Lashley looking to slow the match down to a less frantic pace. The pair stood off each other, aware that one wrong move could sabotage their entire game plan. As they pair got closer, Lashley began to be more effective, using his MMA training to good effect and he took Davey down to the mat. The match continued in a Mixed Martial Arts style, with both competitors rolling around on the mat, struggling for position. The longer the match went, the more Davey Richards looked to take the decisive move, but in truth he hadn’t done nearly enough damage to keep Lashley down. Attempting a Leg Lock that could’ve ended the match, Richards failed to maintain the hold as Lashley reached the ropes. With his opponent down, Davey loosened up his style, bringing his more high risk offence into play. This resulted in him going up to the top rope, only for Lashley to join him up on the second turnbuckle. The two went back and forth, with Lashley crashing down to the mat. Davey set up for a Double Foot Stomp, but Lashley was back up incredibly quickly. This time he climbed all the way to top rope and hit a Belly to Belly Suplex to Davey Richards.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> From here, the pair were both worn out, and when they reached their feet they began to go back and forth. Lashley attempted a Knock Out Strike, but Richards evaded it. Richards then hit a vicious knee to to the face of Lashley, sending him into the corner. Richards took Lashley up to the second rope, looking for a Superplex. Lashley fought out, and maneuvered so that he had Richards on his shoulder. Standing up on the second rope, Lashley dropped Richards with a huge Powerslam, before crawling over for the cover. Lashley managed a two count, as Richards rolled his shoulder at the last moment!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Both men dug deep to remain in the match, and it appeared that each competitor gained a second wind at the same time. Suddenly, the match took on a greater intensity, with both men upping the tempo. What followed what was an intense back and forth exchange, with each man finding a reserval to everything their opponent attempted. This sequence resulted in the end of the match, as Davey Richards ducked a Clothesline and went to Dropkick Lashley, who was in the corner. Lashley moved, causing Richards to crash into the turnbuckle. As Davey turned around, he caught his leg in the bottom rope. This split second was all Lashley needed, and he hit a vicious Spear to Davey Richards. As the years have shown us, nobody kicks out of the Spear, and tonight was no different.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Lashley (in 11:38)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following a brutally unique contest, Lashley was clearly impressed with how much Davey Richards had taken out of him.

Despite this, nothing was going to stop him from taking his rematch. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for the concerns to be proved correct, as Sami Callihan’s opening offence took him off his feet. The referee looked to be regretting his decision to let the match go ahead, but Sami Callihan was not going to stop his relentless beat down of the Birmingham native. Offering little to no offence, the match became increasingly difficult to watch, with Sami Callihan’s knees to the injured ribs of Rockstar Spud causing particularly uncomfortable viewing. In truth, Sami could’ve probably ended the match there and then, but as we know - that isn’t his style.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This put referee Brian Hebner in a difficult position, and it appeared he was going to call for the bell, as he checked on the challenger, who couldn’t make it back to his feet. As Brian gestured to the timekeeper to ring the bell, Rockstar Spud showed life, grabbing the referee by his hand. Buying himself another couple of minutes, Rockstar Spud dragged himself to his feet, but was immediately hit with a Running Knee Strike from Sami Callihan. The Champion then pulled Spud to his feet by the hair, and went for the Double Knee Gutbuster.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With Spud on his shoulders, Sami looked to finish the match. From seemingly nowhere, Spud seemed to come to, beginning to lay elbows into the side of Sami Callihan's head. Spud’s strikes cause Callihan to drop him, allowing him to crawl to the side of the ring. As Sami tries to bring him back to his feet, Spud lays a weak shot into stomach of Sami Callihan, which barely registered on the Champion. Sami Callihan lifted Rockstar Spud to his feet and slapped him in the face. Callihan then spat in the face of Spud, to the disgust of the commentators. Pope commented that there is nobody in this business more vile than Sami Callihan!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This ultimate sign of disrespect awoke something within Rockstar Spud, and he began to “hulk up”, somehow finding energy from deep inside of himself. Rallying the audience behind him, Spud managed to take the fight to Sami Callihan, eventually setting up for an Underdog. Unfortunately, Spud was unable to complete the move, as Sami Callihan managed to escape. As Spud came back, Sami Callihan hit him with a Knee Strike to the face, and the challenger crumbled to the mat. Despite a valiant effort, Rockstar Spud succumbed to a series of Knee Strikes to the Ribs. This was followed by a Double Knee Gutbuster, which handed Sami Callihan a decisive victory.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Sami Callihan (in 8:12)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After the match, Sami Callihan was ready to add insult to injury. Rockstar Spud had given everything, but had ultimately failed to regain the X Division Championship. Sami Callihan holds the Championship in the air, as Rockstar Spud struggles to his feet. Spud tries to grab the ropes, but collapses in the ring. Soon a stretcher is brought out to the ring, and the hometown hero is carried out of the building.</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Backstage we see Matt Hardy sat down.

BEEF tells Lee & Everett that he’s seen them beat every team they come into contact with, and he knows they can do it tonight. They’re going to be back in the US in two weeks, but right now their focus is on taking out two of the company's biggest stars. BEEF says that Eddie isn’t looking out for them, but BEEF should be out there with them tonight.

Their opponents were no slouches, with Lee & Everett’s record as a tag team proving second to none in the company. This showed in the early goings of the match, as the World Tag Team Champions managed to take control of Magnus, who soon looked to bring Drew into play. Drew Galloway managed slightly better than Magnus, but soon found himself on the end of some excellent tag team wrestling, as the Champions showing why they’re at the top of the division.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Interchanging quickly, Drew Galloway was allowed no room to get to his partner and it appeared that Magnus’ dream of a World Heavyweight Championship match at Wembley Arena could be slipping away. On the sidelines, Magnus rallied to audience behind Drew Galloway and his support willed Galloway to an impressive comeback. Taking Trevor Lee down with a Discus Lariat, Galloway managed to crawl to the corner, bringing in Magnus. As Lee tagged in Everett, the two men met in the middle of the ring, and Magnus took both members of the World Tag Team Champions down, finishing his flurry with a Double Back Body Drop. Lee rolled out of the ring, and Magnus took control of Andrew Everett, hitting him with a Mag Daddy Driver. Magnus then looked to the audience, sensing the end was near. He got the audience behind him, as he signalled for his Top Rope Elbow Drop. However, as Magnus reached his corner, Drew Galloway tagged himself in.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Magnus was clearly not happy with Galloway inserting himself into the match, but simply watched as Galloway lifted Everett to his feet and hit him with the Future Shock DDT.

Looking uncertain, Magnus gestured as if to say “what was that about?” Of course, he eventually overrode these feelings with the confirmation of his World Heavyweight Championship match at Wembley Arena. In an attempt to even the score, Magnus left the ring and took the World Heavyweight Championship from ringside. He then returned to the ring, looking longingly into the centerplate of the Championship he held three years ago. Magnus goes to hand over the Championship, and has clearly got under Galloway’s skin. The World Heavyweight Champion snatches the title from the hands of the Number One Contender, as the pair face off to end the show. Jeremy Borash informs us that next week, Impact Wrestling comes to London, as the Maximum Impact Tour nears its conclusion. He expects more explosive action, with fallout from the confirmation of Drew Galloway vs. Magnus for the World Heavyweight Championship and more, on a huge episode of Impact Wrestling!</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20LEgend Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Impact Wrestling on Pop! Episode #060 [Preview] Impact on Pop! Episode #60: On The Dotted Line. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Impact%20UK_zpsnpt2dfak.png As the biggest Maximum Impact Tour of all-time nears it's conclusion, Pop TV invites viewers to join us as Impact Wrestling finally reaches Wembley Arena! Following last week's Tag Team Main Event match, Magnus was named the Number One Contender to Drew Galloway's World Heavyweight Championship. With that historic match set to take place next week, Drew Galloway and Magnus will face off in the ring for one last time, to confirm the details for what many have described as "the biggest UK vs. UK match in 35 years". We will hear from both men, with Magnus promising to have a "huge announcement" related to next week's World Heavyweight Championship match. Not currently under an official contract with Impact Wrestling, question marks have been raised over the fate of the World Heavyweight Champion, should Magnus pick up the victory. This follows the claims that his recent reappearance isn't about a return to Impact Wrestling, but about gaining a chance for closure on his time with the company. With that said, there will be some equally impressive action this week, as Bram and Matt Hardy go one on one in a match where Anything Goes! Following Bram's targetted assault of Jeff Hardy - which resulted in him being taken out of action - Matt Hardy set out on a mission to gain revenge for his brother. When these two first squared off, Matt was disqualfied, but ended the night standing tall over Bram. Things have escalated since then, but with no chance of a disqualification finish, this promises to be a brutal contest with a clear winner! Elsewhere, following his partner Harry Smith's injury, Lance Hoyt will challenge Lee & Everett in one of the most unique World Tag Team Championship matches in company history. With pressure mounting on Hoyt to give up the number one contendership, it appeared as though The Kings of Queens would be named the new challengers. However, as it appeared Hoyt was about to agree to relinquish the shot, he stood defiant. While Harry Smith may not be able to join him in the ring at Wembley Arena, Lance Hoyt will represent both members of the Killer Elite Squad, in a handicap match! Also on Impact Wrestling Having chased him for weeks, Bobby Roode will finally share a ring with Eddie Edwards. He will team with Eric Young - who is looking to make up for his past behaviour - against Eddie Edwards and BEEF. Quite possibly the last person in the world Eddie Edwards would want to team with, he has been extremely vocal about his distrust and dislike of the former Chief of Staff. BEEF had tried to win Edwards round, for the good of "The New Wave", but recently accepted that he and Eddie would never be friends!Kimber Lee will be forced to put her issues with Laura Dennis to one side, as she receives her Knockouts Championship match against Jade. Having won a four way match on the Manchester leg of the tour, Kimber has been sidetracked by a jealous Laura Dennis. Jade will look to capitalise on the uncertainty, and remain Knockouts Champion.Vocal Anglophile Johnny Curtis goes one on one with Eli Drake, who has been less than complimentary about his time in the United Kingdom. Recently looking to break out as a singles star, Drake has a difficult task, in front of what is sure to be a hostile crowd. Looking to bounce straight back from defeat at the hands of Lashley last week, Davey Richards will go one on one with Jessie Godderz.

Earlier in the night, Drew Galloway set up a match, whereby he would team with Magnus against the World Tag Team Champions. He told Magnus that if they were able to work together to defeat Lee & Everett, he would give him a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wembley Arena! Despite some tension between the two, they pulled off the victory and will tonight finalise the details for their “Battle of Britain” showdown!</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr>Following the video package, the commentators hype tonight’s show, including a face to face between Magnus and Drew Galloway, ahead of their World Heavyweight Championship match next week. As they continue to speak, the music of Killer Elite Squad begins to play and Lance Hoyt makes his way down to the ring. Last week, when it seemed like Harry Smith’s injury had cost K.E.S their Tag Team titles shot, Hoyt announced that he would take on the Champions alone. Before that match, Hoyt takes a microphone.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Lance%20Hoyt_zps5i2putlb.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Lance%20Hoyt_zps5i2putlb.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Lance Hoyt says that he isn’t here to wait around, and he isn’t going to play games tonight! Everybody in the back has tried to talk him out of this, everybody has said he should be “patient”, but the one person he listens to - his tag team partner Harry Smith - has told him to go for it. They’re rode together for 5 years, but tonight he rides alone. He calls Lee & Everett out, he’s ready to fight! Instead of Lee & Everett, it’s The Kings of Queens who come down to the ring, much to the annoyance of Lance Hoyt.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/BJ%20Myers2_zpspxlcjnvj.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/BJ%20Myers2_zpspxlcjnvj.png</span></a><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Trenton%20Lock2_zpstdqev5cf.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Trenton%20Lock2_zpstdqev5cf.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Trying to appear concerned for Lance, BJ Myers asks him to think this through. Surely after Everett injured Harry Smith, Hoyt shouldn’t risk getting himself hurt, especially since the Killer Elite Squad are building themselves some momentum. Lock says they’re just looking out for him, and he’s sure management agrees. Lance Hoyt rolls his eyes, he doesn’t believe for a second that The Kings of Queens are looking out for him. He says they’re only out here because they want a title shot that they didn’t earn!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> BJ Myers acts offended by the claim, saying that they’re looking out for a friend… but even if they weren’t, is it wise for him to risk their Championship shot and end up at the back of the line. If he steps aside tonight, allowing them to take his place, then everybody knows that K.E.S would be next in line for a title shot. Trenton says that they can take Lee & Everett out of the equation, and settle this like men! Lance Hoyt says that he isn’t giving this shot up for the world. He and Harry have travelled the world together, and when he spoke to Harry last week, he agreed that if Lance felt he could take the shot, then he should!

While he did well in the early going, overpowering both Andrew Everett and Trevor Lee, the numbers game was always going to get to him. Hoyt’s strength prolonged the inevitable, but the young tag team eventually proved too much for him. Lance gave everything he had, but the match was soon in the hands of Lee & Everett, who began to dominate. Every time Hoyt appeared to be coming back into it, the Champs would tag out, bringing the fresher man in.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> On commentary, The Kings of Queens felt vindicated, claiming that they had warned Lance Hoyt what would happen. Myers said that he just hoped Lance made it out there in one piece, we all saw what Lee & Everett did to Harry Smith in Manchester. Despite the belief that Lee & Everett had the match in the bag, Lance Hoyt refused to give up. He may have been the only one in the building who believed he could still win, but as Trevor Lee went to the top rope, Hoyt found an opening. As his high flying opponent came down for a Crossbody, Lance caught him, and threw him over his head with a Fall Away Slam. Wanting to stop any momentum that Lance was building, Everett springboarded into the ring, only to be caught by the throat. Lance lifted Andrew Everett in the air, hitting him with a huge Chokeslam. Andrew Everett rolled out of the ring, leaving his partner alone with the fired up Lance Hoyt.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Hoyt now appeared to have a chance, and as Trevor Lee came at him, he threw the member of “The New Wave” all over the ring. Seemingly completing a shock recovery, Lance Hoyt hit Trevor Lee with a Buckle Bomb. As Lee staggered out of the corner, Lance Hoyt grabbed him by the throat. The commentators couldn’t believe it, against all odds it appeared that Lance Hoyt was on the brink of winning the World Tag Team Championships for the Killer Elite Squad. The King of Queens couldn’t believe it, and were full of praise for Lance. However, the camera showed the pair looking at each other, with a look of worry on their faces. Lance then lifted Trevor Lee up, but before he could hit the Chokeslam, Andrew Everett had made it back to his feet. He springboarded onto the top rope, hitting Lance Hoyt in the temple with a huge Flying Knee Strike. This took Lance Hoyt off balance and allowed Lee & Everett to hit him with a Double Front Dropkick. Lance fell to the mat, and Trevor Lee tagged Andrew Everett back in. Lee then went to the top rope, hitting a Diving Double Foot Stomp to Hoyt. Adding the punctuation mark to the match, Andrew Everett came down from the top rope, hitting an incredible 630 Senton. Andrew Everett covered Hoyt, who couldn’t get his shoulder up before the three count.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winners:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Lee & Everett (in 8:12)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Despite coming close, Lance Hoyt had failed in his quest to win the World Tag Team Championships. Lee & Everett celebrated up the ramp, while the focussed remained on Lance Hoyt, who was coming to in the ring. From the announcer’s table, The Kings of Queens removed their headsets and led an applause for Lance Hoyt. The pair then entered the ring, and helped Lance Hoyt to the ring. Hoyt clearly didn’t feel like getting help from his divisional rivals, and left the ring. As he walked up the ramp, The Kings of Queens continued to applaud Lance’s effort, seemingly bemused by his negative reaction..</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Heading over to the back, we see Eddie Edwards and BEEF reluctantly sharing a locker room.

Usually in a world of his own, since Impact Wrestling has been in the UK, we have seen a different side of Johnny, who says that the people of Britain have always been good to him. Despite this, it was Eli Drake who took control of the match early on, beating down Johnny Curtis and taunting the audience in the process. Johnny would then look to the audience to help him back into the contest, rallying them behind him as he began a comeback. Momentum shifted to Johnny Curtis, who enjoyed his payback, eventually picking up a victory with a Reverse DDT.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Johnny Curtis (in 5:23)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following the match, Johnny Curtis takes a microphone from ringside and invites Maria to join him.

This led to a back and forth contest, where both women appeared to be evenly matched throughout. Despite her reputation as little more than a “sidekick”, Kimber Lee showed that she could go toe to toe with the very best in the Knockouts Division. She even came close to victory on a couple of occasions, before Jade looked to take control. As she appeared to be closing in on the finish, Jade was distracted by the appearance of Laura Dennis.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s158.photobucket.com/user/thetramp_photos/media/Impact16/Laura%20Dennis_zpssb8dtktm.png.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Impact16/Laura%20Dennis_zpssb8dtktm.png</span></a></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Jade believed that Kimber Lee was responsible for her best friend coming to the ring, but it turned out that she was just as surprised as the Knockouts Champion. As Jade continued to try and finish the match, she was put slightly off her game. This allowed Kimber Lee to come back into the match, and it once again became an even fight. With both of them so evenly matches, the ending was particularly disappointing. As Jade set up for an attempted Powerbomb, Laura Dennis entered the ring and clubbed her in the back.

On the other side, Eric Young and Bobby Roode are still coming to terms with being back on the same page, but were clearly more in tune than their opponents. Feeling like he didn’t want to risk getting involved with Roode or Young, Edwards forced BEEF to start the match. This went predictably badly for their team, with BEEF taking a beating from both of his Canadian opponents. Eventually, he had no choice but to crawl to his corner tagging in Eddie Edwards. Eddie went back and forth with Eric Young, but when Bobby Roode was made the legal man, Edwards ran to the corner and tagged in BEEF.

After Bobby Roode hit him with a Roode Bomb, Eric Young was brought into the match. He grabbed BEEF’s legs, locking him into a Figure Four Leg Lock.

Because tonight is the night, where The Hardy Family name dies! After he has finished with Matt, he will find himself in a hospital bed, next to his brother. Bram didn’t need for it to be like this, Matt could’ve followed Jeff out of this company and he would’ve said no more. But Matt Hardy’s pride, Matt Hardy’s unrivaled will to carry on, ultimately sealed his fate.

While Jessie had a lot to say before the bell, Richards soon shut his mouth with a series of stiff Kicks. Clearly not in the mood for a long, drawn out match, Davey Richards was clearly going straight for the kill, attempting submissions from the sound of the opening bell. Rabidly persistent, Davey eventually broke down the resistance of Jessie Godderz, locking in a Cross Armbreaker as Jessie threw a wild punch. From there, it was clear Jessie was never going to escape and rather than risk serious injury, he tapped out.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Davey Richards (in 2:49)</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>A video package plays, focussed on the unmatched levels of violence that Bram brings to Impact Wrestling.

None of these moments were more powerful than the one involving Jeff Hardy two months ago.

While Bram may have shown that he is tougher than anybody in Impact Wrestling, he has never kept Matt Hardy down! Matt is one of a kind, and nobody is willing to do the things that he will do to secure victory. Bram has warned everybody about who he is, but tonight Bram steps in the ring with a beast that he has never battled before.

Fired up from the pre-match talk, Matt Hardy took the front foot, taking the fight to the man who has vowed to “end” the Hardy family. The pair brawl in the ring, and inevitably the fight spilled to the outside before long. It was at this point that weapons were brought into play, and it was Matt Hardy who struck first. Taking the bell from ringside, he clocked Bram on the side of the head, dropping him to the ground. As Matt Hardy began to beat Bram all around the ringside area, JB noted how rare it was to see Bram on the defensive, suggesting that Matt perhaps had his number.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> However, as the pair fought up the ramp, Bram got a lucky shot in, and pushed Matt Hardy into the guardrail. This allowed “The Chesterfield Plague” to come back into the match, and he soon set up two Steel Chairs at the bottom by the side of the stage. He then looked to drag Matt back up to the elevated ramp, seemingly wanting to drop him through the chairs. Matt managed to claw back into control, and following a low blow to Bram, Matt hit him with a Side Effect through both of the chairs. This caused immense pain to both men, and Matt slowly crawled over for the pin. Having been informed that falls would count anywhere, we see the first cover of the match, which is only enough to gain a two count for Matt Hardy.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Taking a lot out of both men, they struggled back to their feet, and began to send punches back and forth, hoping to hit a blow that would tilt the contest in their favour. This brawl eventually spilled out into the audience, where the pair fought around the edges of the arena, before tumbling back over the guard rail. From this section of the brawl, it appeared as though Bram had got the slight advantage. He built upon this, setting up a Table between the Guardrail and the ring. While Matt managed to fight away from the Table, it remained a precarious prospect, even as the match returned to the ring. Kendo Sticks, Trash Cans and Cookie Sheets were all brought into play during the course of the match, but it was eventually on the aforementioned Table where the next big moment happened.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Bram set Matt Hardy up on the Table, he added a couple of right hands to ensure his opponent would stay down. This didn’t work, and as Bram worked out the next part of his plan, Matt hit him from behind. Coming back from seemingly being out cold, Matt fervently fought back, hitting Bram with a flurry of shots. Matt then put Bram onto the Table, looking out to the audience as a light bulb appeared to go off in his head. Hardy dragged himself to the top rope, and dived down with a Legdrop, which sent both men crashing through the Table. While Matt had landed on top of Bram, the referee determined that Bram’s shoulder were not down, and refused to count the pin. Had they been Matt would have certainly have won the match.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Getting up first, Matt Hardy rolled Bram into the ring, and pinned him for the 1… 2… Kickout! Continuing to apply pressure to Bram, Matt lifted his opponent to his feet, and hit him with a Twist of Fate. Due to fatigue, Matt was unable to capitalise, as Bram rolled to the outside. Matt Hardy then dragged himself to corner and grabbed Bram by the hair. Looking to bring him back into the ring, Matt struggles, as Bram appeared to be dealing with something under the ring. Matt came further out between the ropes, but was sent back with a Headbutt from Bram. As Matt came back at him, Bram turned around and had fashioned a Fireball, which he blew into the face of Matt Hardy. Hardy flew backwards, and was in severe pain from Bram once again taking it to the next level. Hardy was blinded in the ring, falling straight into The Brighter Side of Suffering from Bram. “The Chesterfield Plague” then pinned his opponent, inevitably gaining a three count!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Bram (in 10:27)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After the bell sounds, medical personnel rush to ringside, checking on Matt Hardy. While Bram has been victorious, the focus is entirely on the condition of Matt Hardy, who was the victim of a Fireball attack from Bram. Pope says that all is fair in love and war, but that may have been too far, even by Bram’s standards. Much like his brother, two months ago, Matt Hardy is carried out of the building. Delighted with himself, Bram has to be held back by referees and security, which he seems more than happy with. Clearly enjoying himself, Bram simply watches Matt Hardy being taken from ringside, with a sadistic smile on his face. Jeremy Borash says that while they deal with this shocking situation, they will take the final commercial break of the evening!</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Coming back for the final part of Impact Wrestling, we are informed that Drew Galloway and Magnus will go face to face up next, ahead of their World Heavyweight Championship match next week.

On a personal level, everything is great between them, but when it comes to business… they might as well be mortal enemies. As the history of this business shows, competition and the desire to make your brand number one, can make ruthless monsters out of any of us. That’s why this isn’t just the “biggest UK match up” in recent history, but also one of the most important matches in the history of Impact Wrestling!

From the moment Magnus stepped back into this company, everybody treated him like a returning hero. Everybody except from Drew Galloway. And he understands, because in his two years in this company, Drew has tried to make himself “Mr. Impact Wrestling”. And while he may have fitted right in, he has nothing like the rapport that Magnus has with the people who he worked with for 7 years. As far as Magnus - and the wider wrestling community is concerned - there’s always going to be that stench around Drew Galloway. The label from him coming from “elsewhere”. On the other hand, Magnus is as “homegrown” as they get. These fans, everybody associated with this company, saw Magnus grow from day one, when he was green as grass, and they followed his journey to become the first British World Heavyweight Champion! In that regard, Drew Galloway will always be a distant number two, and he’s sure that eats him up inside.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway comes back, saying if we’re getting real then fair enough, it’s true that Magnus broke the mould for British wrestlers, but his reign will always be remembered as one of the worst in this company's history!

Magnus is back for one reason, and that is to try and heal his damaged ego. He says that he isn’t here for a comeback, then Drew Galloway will happily boot him out of the door, after he’s kicked his ass in this very building next week!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Magnus shakes his head, saying they both know that isn’t going to be the case, and in fact Drew brings him nicely to his next point. Unlike Drew, he isn’t just out here to run his mouth and promote the fight. Magnus then produces a piece of paper from his pocket, explaining that it is the contract that they’re signed for the match next week. Drew asks what this has to do with anything, and Magnus explains. On Magnus’ contract, there was an extra page, and the contents of that page blows everything that Drew has had to say, out of the water. Turning to the last page, he hands the contract to Drew Galloway.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Magnus then enlightens the audience, saying that going into next week’s huge match, management wanted some assurance - an insurance policy if you will - against everything that Drew Galloway has tried to throw at him. They got the legal teams involved, explaining the trademarks and the laws around him carrying the Championship outside of Impact Wrestling, and he got bored. See these people don’t care about any of that, all they want is to be able to see their Champion, on the show of their choosing. Therefore, Magnus threw the suits out of the building and made a simple proposition to Impact Wrestling management. Upon signing the contract, Magnus also signed an agreement which stated that should he become the World Heavyweight Champion, he will remain in Impact Wrestling until Bound For Glory, or until he loses the Championship, whichever comes first. Which means that all the people saying that a guy on a short-term deal can’t become the World Heavyweight Champion, can simply shut their mouths, and watch… as Magnus becomes a </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>two</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> time World Heavyweight Champion.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With a smirk on his face, having countered Drew’s major argument, Magnus extends his hand to Galloway. Drew can’t help but be impressed by the bases he’s covered and shakes the hand of his opponent. Drew Galloway then steps back, lays his Championship in the ring between them, and warns Magnus: “if you want to take this Championship from me, it will be over my </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>[expletive]</em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> dead body!” With that, Galloway and Magnus stare off one final time, as Jeremy Borash promotes one of the biggest matches in UK Wrestling history. Next week, for the World Heavyweight Championship, Magnus will go one on one with Drew Galloway!</div></div></div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadcast from the iconic Wembley Arena, we will witness - for the first time in Professional Wrestling history - a World Heavyweight Championship match, contested between two British Wrestling talent. Billed as a match to rival the famous Big Daddy vs. Giant Haystack - a contest which captured the hearts of the British public 35 years ago - this “Battle of Britain” promises to be one of the most memorable moments in Impact Wrestling history!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The story of this match began at the start of the tour, immediately following Drew Galloway’s World Heavyweight Championship victory. As Drew celebrated with the fans of Glasgow, Scotland, his moment was overshadowed by the return - after over 18 months away from the company - of former World Heavyweight Champion, Magnus. Setting out on a “Road to Wembley”, Magnus claimed he would take on any challenge, in order to become the Number One Contender to Drew Galloway’s Championship. Picking up victories against former Champions, Michael Bennett, Eddie Edwards, as well as current World Tag Team Champions, Lee & Everett, Magnus earned a shot at Galloway, causing the mood between the two to change dramatically.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway claimed that Magnus was only here to massage his damaged ego, and warned that the “outsider” was a threat to the future of Impact Wrestling. Magnus - who had previously been unsigned to an Impact Wrestling contract - produced a document which stated that should he become the World Heavyweight Champion, he would remain with Impact Wrestling as far as this year’s Bound For Glory. With that settled, the deals were signed, and this historic match is set to go ahead, on an unforgettable episode of Impact Wrestling!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Also on Impact Wrestling</strong></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><ul><li><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">Unhappy with his treatment in recent weeks, due to an apparent “conspiracy” against him, Michael Bennett now has even more on his plate, as a rivalry with Johnny Curtis and Tyrus develops. Having had an attempted attack of Johnny Curtis thwarted by the big man last week, Michael Bennett will go one on one with the 300+ lbs Tyrus, as he looks to turn around his recent misfortunes.</div></div></div></div><br /></li><li><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">Looking to assert himself in the singles ranks, Micah has called for the biggest scalp in Impact Wrestling, Lashley! With Lashley in fine form recently, with victories over Davey Richards and Tyrus, “The Samoan Skullcrusher” has a huge task at hand, if he is to defeat “The Destroyer”!</div></div></div></div><br /></li><li><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">Perhaps as a result of Rockstar Spud’s inability to compete, Mark Andrews will be tonight handed a golden opportunity, as he challenges Sami Callihan for the X Division Championship. Brutally dominant in recent months, Sami Callihan looks set for a long and successful reign as X Division Champion, that is unless Mark Andrews can pull out a huge upset, and manage a career defining victory in his home country.</div></div></div></div><br /></li><li><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">Knockouts action as Alisha goes one on one with Marti Belle.</div></div></div></div></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41727" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Confirmed Matches</strong></span></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Drew Galloway © vs. Magnus </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:8px;">- World Heavyweight Championship Match</span></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Sami Callihan © vs. Mark Andrews </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:8px;">- X Division Championship Match</span></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Micah vs. Lashley</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Michael Bennett vs. Tyrus</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Alisha vs. Marti Belle</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
