Eventually, Grado will look to shock everybody, and will climb the Ladder to reach the nail covered 2x4 known as “Janice”. While Grado will successfully unhook “Janice”, Abyss will grab him by the throat, causing him to drop the 2x4. Abyss will then Chokeslam Grado - from about halfway up the Ladder - putting him through a Barbed Wire Board. Grado will roll around in pain, as Abyss approaches “Janice”.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Abyss will pick “Janice” up, and will swing and miss Grado. Rolling out of the ring, Grado will run up the ramp. Once the two men appear behind the curtain, the whole tone of the match will change. Attempting to recreate an over the top, comedic horror film, Grado will run away from Abyss, eventually hiding in a room. When Grado turns the light on in the room, it will appear as though Grado has found himself in Abyss’ personal torture chamber. Entering the room after him, Abyss will take Grado out, before looking to tie his ankle and wrists to a large table in the room. Abyss will look to fasten the final restraint, telling Grado that he is going to shred him into a million piece. However, before Abyss can turn around, Janice will be driven into his back. Unclear who is responsible for the attack, Grado will be both relieved and shocked when Lauren Van Ness runs in to save him.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="chVbVHe.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/chVbVHe.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Revealing that she was the one who hit Abyss with Janice, Laurel will release Grado from the restraints, picking him up and dropping him on top of Abyss.

From that day, the two men remained at loggerheads, with Moose eventually embracing the Impact Wrestling fans. Lashley did just the opposite, turning his back on the fans, and later the business, which made him into a star. Taking issue with this, Moose looked to defend the company, standing up to Lashley and the American Top Team. Enduring brutal assaults for his efforts, Moose enlisted the help of UFC Hall of Famer Stephen Bonnar. This resulted in a Lethal Lockdown match at Bound For Glory, where having been locked out of the cage, Bonnar watched helplessly as King Mo and Lashley defeated Moose. Since then, Moose has challenged Lashley for “one more match”, a challenge which was refused when Lashley claimed he had completed his “contractual obligations” with Impact Wrestling. However, when Moose made the rivalry personal, questioning Lashley as a father and a man, he incurred the wrath of “Walking Armageddon”. Accepting the challenge, Lashley promised to come to his final match alone, and vowed that Moose would regret the decision to poke the bear. </span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><em>(3 minutes)</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1mH9tAC.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1mH9tAC.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1vq09KX.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1vq09KX.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="N3labAa.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/N3labAa.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Lashley vs. Moose</strong></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Given a notably long time, the aim of this match was to present a heated and personal all out brawl, with both men leaving absolutely everything in - and around - the ring.

Realising this, commentary will begin to present Moose’s decision to challenge Lashley a mistake, putting over Lashley as “the most dominant competitor in Impact Wrestling history”. However, through determination and an unwillingness to give in, a battle worn Moose will eventually come back into the match. Evening the odds, Moose will gain momentum of the match, setting up for his “Go To Hell” finisher. Lashley will avoid this, and the match will draw to a conclusion with both men looking to seal the deal. Eventually, Lashley will hit Moose will a Spear, covering the man who appeared ready to fill the void he will leave. Presented as a certain end to the match, the commentators will react in complete shock as Moose rolls his arm up at the last possible moment. Lashley will set up for another Spear, but Moose will move out of the way, causing Lashley to crash into the turnbuckle. Lashley will then stumble forwards, straight into a Spear from Moose. Moose will then begin to do his “Moose” taunt. Once Lashley returns to his feet, Moose will hit him with a “Go To Hell”, falling forward to pin Lashley and score a landmark victory.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Moose</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Duration:</strong></div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 16 minutes</div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></div></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Location:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> In Ring</span></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Duration:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> 3 minutes</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Following the match, Moose will drag himself to his feet, struggling as highlights from the match are replayed.

Having promoted the last episode of 2017 as the “end of an era”, Impact Wrestling today announced departures from their roster, as they look to shake things up in 2018. Once again taping television from “north of the border”, it is believed the company has contacted several Canada based competitors to appear on the shows. As well as announcing the contract expiry of Lashley, the company have also confirmed the following names will not return to the company in the new year:</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">

Fallah Bahh & Mario Bokara, Kongo Kong, Reno SCUM, Taryn Terrell</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">

Gail Kim has also been removed from the “roster” page of the company’s website, following her retirement. The Knockouts Championship however still remains under her name, until it is officially relinquished on this week’s Impact Wrestling. In other news, it has been reported that James Storm has signed a restructured new deal with the company, that will keep him Impact for at least the next few months. Contrary recent speculation, James Storm will stay with the company, despite some concerns within the company that his best years are behind him and his demands are too high for the company’s current model. The decision was made after a meeting between management and creative, with a member of the creative team convincing the decision-makers that the current story being told between Storm and Carter needs to reach a conclusion before the "Impact Original" moves on.</span></p>

Not a single one of those releases surprises me. Make way for better talent that you can get us invested in. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

”The Genesis”

jjGzWQw.png

Coming into the New Year, we are set for one of the most important weeks in recent Impact Wrestling history. With influential figures calling time on their careers last week, the Impact Wrestling roster will have the chance to “step up” and stake their claim as the new figureheads of the company. Going into this “new era”, the opportunity to stand at the top of the Impact Wrestling mountain will present itself to two men…

 

In the night’s Main Event, Johnny Impact will defend the Impact World Championship against Alberto El Patron. Since returning at Bound For Glory, Alberto El Patron has spoken out about his perceived ill-treatment at the hands of Impact Wrestling management. Stripped of the Championship in the Summer, for an incident he was later cleared of any fault in, Alberto El Patron returned to the company and formed an alliance with Konnan’s LAX. Feeling that he and his family were disrespected by Impact Wrestling, Alberto El Patron and co. have targeted anyone associated with the Impact World Championship. As 2018 begins, Alberto El Patron will compete in one on one World Championship action for the first time since July.

 

Elsewhere, Three Way X Division Tag Team action will open the show, while Moose will come off the back of his victory against Lashley by issuing an Open Challenge. We will also see the debut of Ethan Carter’s “Team Impact”, as he challenges Eddie Edwards and James Storm to face his “troops”, as he prepares them for a battle that he feels could shape the future of Impact Wrestling.<hr>

Getting rid of Reno SCUM is a bit of a surprise, considering they just competed for the tag team titles (not that they're a particularly good team). I'm also surprised you released Kongo Kong, because he is also not a technically sound wrestler, but still has a bit of a push in the midcard.

I didn't feel like Reno SCUM offered much, and I only gave them the NOC (which came after beating another team who were released) to give LAX a challenger to beat decisively going into the next challengers. Kong is somebody who I have never got behind. Watching him in real life, I am not a fan at all, and as such I didn't really want to book him. I agree I could have extracted more out of him - as I didn't really 'job him out' - but I just don't enjoy his character whatsoever.

Making some space in the mid card/lower card, I get that. I'd also assume most of their popularity was pretty low, making them pointless jobbers rather than useful jobbers (like say Zack Ryder, or Goldust).

Yeah, everybody on the roster is low. Without guys like Edwards/Ethan/Storm/Alberto/Johnny, the roster is basically interchangeable when it comes to ratings. Losing more of them would be a big problem, because the people who have gone and the people who have come in basically produce similar (extremely poor) ratings. The difference is that I see potential with the incomings to become better, whereas those who have left - and those who will leave - are basically as useful/useless as they'll ever be.

 

Grado is probably an exception, as I don't see a huge future for him, but he has somehow become a main event :confused:

Not a single one of those releases surprises me. Make way for better talent that you can get us invested in. :D

That's the idea, whether you are a fan of who I bring in remains to be seen...

I still think Alberto as Champion makes more sense for this story. But I like that the show is so unpredictable

 

Andrew Everett & Caleb Konley vs. Dezmond Xavier & DJ Z vs. Petey Williams & Sonjay Dutt

I guess because of age. Petey and Sonjay would come under the bracket of 'useful jobber' in my opinion

 

Crazzy Steve vs. KM

I think you like old Crazzy. He beat KM comfortably last time out in the mixed tag, so I expect a win for him.

 

Eddie Edwards & James Storm vs. “Team Impact” (??? & ???)

 

Which former Impact Wrestling competitors will feature in Ethan Carter’s new “Team Impact”?

Let's go with MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS!!!

 

Which Canada-based talent will accept Moose’s Open Challenge?

My first thought was Michael Elgin... But since James The Animator already said him, I'm going to go with (someone I'm hoping for) KENNY OMEGA - although having said that, Moose was just made into a star by beating Lashley... So he can't go and lose to Kenny O... Hmmm... I'm torn...

By the end of the video package, the focus will turn to Johnny Impact’s Bound For Glory victory, and his subsequent rivalry with Alberto El Patron. As more members of the roster declare “I Am Impact!”, the package will come to an end, with the Impact World Champion stood, holding the title over his shoulder.

Drake will then say that he understands the thought process of having somebody pulling the strings in the shadows, who doesn’t have the emotional attachment that Cornette had.

Drake understands that he is powerless to change that right now, and he doesn’t give a damn whether it’s Johnny Impact or Alberto El Patron holding the Championship.

Pausing, Eli Drake will snap his fingers, as if another potential blamee has just come to his mind. Pointing to the announcer’s desk, Eli will say “I could blame Josh and Jeremy - the most dysfunctional duo since chalk met cheese”. Continuing to point his finger as he rants, Eli Drake will say that he could blame Impact Wrestling management.

Drake will add that time after time, Chris Adonis failed him. Adonis’ mind will be boggled, as he continues to question Drake. Eli will ask him where he was at Bound For Glory and where he was when Eli Drake took his rematch. Adonis will say “I was right with you!” to which Eli Drake will ask, “and where were you, when LAX put me through hell?” Shaking his head, Chris Adonis will put his hands over his face, still disbelieving what Drake is saying.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Eli Drake will continue to scald his former right hand man, calling him a “loser”, who has rode on Drake’s coattails for too long. Looking like a completely broken man, Chris Adonis will be continually berated by Eli Drake, until the former Champion tells him to get out of the ring. Adonis will finally stand up for himself at this point, flipping out and shoving Eli Drake backwards. Eli Drake will in turn throw a punch at Chris Adonis, which will be ducked. Locking Eli Drake in the Adonis Lock, Chris Adonis will appear to have completely lost in, hyperventilating as he squeezes the life out of his former partner.

Brian Cage will then lift Chris Adonis to his feet, hitting him with a Running Powerslam in the middle of the ring. Flexing his huge muscles, Brian Cage will pose for a second, before rolling Eli Drake out of the ring. Lifting the man he had just saved from Adonis onto his shoulder, Brian Cage will carry Eli Drake to the back.

While Bailey won’t manage a great deal of offence, his resolve will be put over, as well as his ability to withstand the offence of a man much bigger than he is. Eventually using his speed and agility to gain an opening, Mike Bailey will manage a brief comeback, where his underdog status will take him close to a major upset.

When Gail Kim is introduced for her final entrance as Knockouts Champion, Konnan will suggest that this “broad” isn’t as good as she thinks she is. Josh Matthews will clearly be uncomfortably with Konnan ruining Gail’s moment, and when the Knockouts Champion makes her way to the ring, she will glare at Konnan - having heard what he had said while waiting in the back.

Kim will talk about her historic rivalries and greatest opponents, before addressing the future of the Knockouts Division. She will accept the point of people suggesting that she shouldn't go out when she is still at the top, but having broken records, she feels it is the right time to step down. She will add that there have been times in the last few years where she knew she simply couldn't stop, but as she looks out at the Knockouts Division - and the rest of the Impact roster - she knows that the company is in good hands for the future.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Gail will then go off track, saying that a lot of people have tried to bring Impact Wrestling down, but she knows it will go from strength to strength in her absence.

Off-mic, a serious looking Gail will ask Konnan what he is doing. Konnan will say that people wanna call his actions recently “disrespectful”, but he’s about to teach Impact a lesson in respect. Konnan will ask when is better to do that than at the retirement of a company legend. Saying that “our voice” hasn’t been heard for too long, Konnan will add that Gail could have avoided this, if only she had kept his name off her tongue. Konnan will say that she is going to pay for it, because he just has to say the word and within 24 hours there will be a missing persons report filed on her… and her husband.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Following this threat, the shot will then cut to ringside, where Robert Irvine is shown in the front row.

Konnan will reply saying that he obviously hasn’t gone far enough. Homicide will then be seen putting his hand on the shoulder of her husband, and she will have to be held back by Konnan as she tries to leave the ring. Konnan will say that nothing is going to happen to her husband, as long as she makes the right decision. Konnan will add that she can’t expect him to sit there and listen to her claim LAX isn’t strong enough to take this place over, when she has never had the guts to step in the ring with LAX. Still furious, Gail will go nose to nose with Diamante, still holding the Knockouts Championship. Looking to manipulate the audience and Gail, Konnan will ask “Toronto, Canada” if they wanna see Gail Kim in action one more time!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Clearly torn, Gail Kim will say that she isn’t here to compete, she’s here to lay down the Knockouts Championship that means so much to her. Konnan will reply by putting his hand on her face and telling her that he understands. He will then turn to Homicide and tell him “take him away”. LAX will then grab Robert Irvine, with Gail telling them stop. Gail Kim will say that she will face Diamante, if it means they’ll back off from her husband. Konnan will say that there’s more to it than that, saying that Gail has “disrespected” his girls. Konnan will say that they don’t just want the match with Gail, they want a Knockouts Championship match. Calling out a referee, Gail Kim will relucantly agree to defend the Championship one last time. On commentary, Josh Matthews will be disgusted, suggesting that Diamante has done nothing to deserve the title shot. He will also take issue with Gail being forced to prolong her career, under the threat of violence towards her family. Konnan will then leave the ring, followed by Diamante. Gail Kim will be confused, as will the referee and the ring announcer. Now on the outside, Konnan will then add that he never said who the match would be against. Konnan will point to the LAX entrance, saying “allow me to introduce… ‘my girl’ Ivelisse Velez!”</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="AoyGSW5.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AoyGSW5.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Ivelisse will jump straight over the guardrail, making a beeline for Gail Kim. Both Josh Matthews on commentary and Gail Kim in the ring will be in complete shock, as Konnan hugs the newest member of LAX. He will then lead the rest of LAX to the back, with Diamante remaining at ringside with Velez. Having been blackmailed, and then tricked into defended her Championship, it will be clear that Gail is somewhat disoriented.</span></span></p></div></blockquote><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Knockouts Championship</em></div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><img alt="RhCUEAg.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/RhCUEAg.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1vq09KX.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1vq09KX.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="AoyGSW5.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AoyGSW5.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Gail Kim © vs. Ivelisse Velez</strong></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the bell rings, Gail Kim will make it clear that she had been completely ambushed by the challenge, while Velez will make it clear that this was part of a calculated plan.

Josh Matthews will be somewhat more vocal, reminding the audience that the match was essentially the result of a threat of violence towards her non-competing husband. Throughout the match, it shall be made clear that Gail was never at the races, and while she will manage a fair about of offence, it will be evident that she was never prepared for a match against Ivelisse Velez.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Velez will look to use a hard-hitting approach throughout the match, and this will see the legendary figure of the Knockouts Division on the ropes after just a few minutes.

Surrounding her, LAX will pose with the newest member of the group, throwing up the LAX gang sign.</span></span></p></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Location:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Restaurant </span></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Duration:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> 2 minutes</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Cooling down after the title change, a skit will play which shows Grado taking Laurel Van Ness at the restaurant he was taken to by Joseph Parks three weeks ago.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="b5MTZMW.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/b5MTZMW.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="chVbVHe.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/chVbVHe.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Taking a lighthearted look at the pair’s past, Grado will apologise for his actions, explaining that he was simply desperate to save his livelihood.

As the bout gets underway, the commentators will call the two competitors the “top guys” in Impact Wrestling today. Promoted as “The Genesis” of a new era in Impact Wrestling, the gravity of the match will be continually driven home, as the two men go all out to put on a show stealing performance. This will result in a back and forth, all action match, with the two men using their stylistic difference to tell the story of the contest.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Eventually, the flash of Johnny Impact will become too much for Alberto El Patron, who will roll out of the ring and look to slow the pace of the match. This will play into the hands of El Patron, and while Impact’s athleticism will be useful when interacting with the Guardrailing and Steel Steps, the grittier approach adopted by Alberto El Patron will allow him to take control. The turning point that puts Alberto in the driver’s seat will see Johnny Impact jump off the guardrail towards him, only to be caught by El Patron and driven into the ringpost. El Patron will continue to target the right arm of Johnny Impact, wrapping it around the ringpost once more. At this point, the referee will look to come between the two competitors, calling for medical assistance. Refusing to allow this, Alberto El Patron will continue to punish Johnny Impact, placing his arm between the ring and the Steel Steps, before Dropkicking the steps into his arm. Rolling around in the pain, Johnny Impact will be lifted back into the ring.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> From here, Alberto El Patron will look to seal the deal, coming close to locking in the Cross Armbreaker. One attempt, following a “Backstabber” to the arm, will see El Patron lock the hold in momentarily, but will prove too close to the ropes to secure the victory. Alberto El Patron will use the entirety of the referee’s five count, before releasing Impact, ensuring maximum damage is achieved. On commentary, a sense of inevitability will come over Jeremy and Josh, with it appearing only a matter of time before El Patron secures the win. However, Johnny Impact will show there is still life in him, valiantly fighting back against the man who has links with LAX. Using one arm, Johnny Impact will hold the other tight to his body, throwing punches at El Patron. Somehow avoiding El Patron’s offence, Impact will manage to take the challenger down, before deciding to climb the ropes with just one arm in operation.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Standing on the top rope, Johnny Impact will look to hit the “Countdown To Impact” Elbow Drop, but El Patron will be able to join him on the turnbuckles, given the extra time it took him to reach the top. Alberto will set up for a Superplex, but Impact will refuse to release his arm. Showing desperation, Impact will headbutt El Patron several times in the chest, eventually dropping him to the mat. Johnny will then go for the “Impact Elbow” (smartly skipping the countdown part), only for Alberto El Patron to get his knees up at the last minute. This will cause Johnny’s injured arm to collide with El Patron’s knee. The commentators will say that Johnny had taken the ultimate risk, which unfortunately did not pay off.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Back to the action, Alberto El Patron will react quickly, with suggestions made that he had been playing possum on the mat. Grabbing the arm of Impact, who will still be rolling around in pain, El Patron will forcefully lock in the Cross Armbreaker. Violently wrenching back on the severely injured arm of Johnny Impact, Alberto El Patron will scream out for Johnny to submit. While Impact will refuse to do so, the referee - who had earlier been concerned about Johnny’s ability to continue - will step in and come between the two men, acting similarly to how an MMA referee would in the same circumstances. This will result in the bell being called for an El Patron victory.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Alberto El Patron (via referee stoppage); </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>NEW Impact World Champion</em></div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Duration:</strong></div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 16 minutes</div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></div></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Location:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> In-Ring</span></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Duration:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> 3 minutes</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Standing tall in the ring, Alberto El Patron will show no happiness or joy in his victory, maintaining the intense, aggressive demouner that he had while zoning in on Johnny Impact’s arm.

On last week’s monumental episode of Impact Wrestling, Alberto El Patron shocked the world, as he became the figurehead of a “New Era” in the company’s history. Ruthlessly effective, Alberto El Patron’s performance last week saw him become the new Impact World Champion, as the referee decided that Johnny Impact was in no condition to compete. Having seriously injured Johnny Impact, Alberto El Patron will this week address “his people”, having regained the Championship that he feels was “stolen” from him last summer.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">

But Alberto wasn’t the only new Champion in Impact last week, as his associates in LAX made their mark on Gail Kim’s retirement speech. Watching on from the front row, Gail’s husband Robert Irvine was threatened with physical violence by the group, unless Gail Kim agreed to defend her Knockouts Championship for one last time. With no choice but to agree, Gail Kim prepared herself for a match against Diamante, only to be informed that her opponent would instead be a debuting Ivelisse Velez. Catching the retiring Champion off guard, Ivelisse Velez made Gail Kim pass out, defeating her with a Guillotine Chokehold. This ensured that LAX held both the Tag Team Championships and the Knockouts title, to accompany the Impact World Championship of their close ally Alberto El Patron. As the show came to a close, Josh Matthews signed off, ominously declaring:</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">

</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><em>“Tonight was the Genesis of a ‘New Era’ in Impact Wrestling. From the evidence tonight, this may just be the era… of LAX.”</em></span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">

As well as the reaction to those events, this week’s show will see more Championship action, as Eddie Edwards defends the GHC Heavyweight Championship, against Pro-Wrestling NOAH representative Naomichi Marufuji. An all-time great in the company’s history, Marufuji will no doubt provide a difficult challenge for Eddie Edwards, as he looks to become a record-breaking 4 time GHC Heavyweight Champion. Representing both Impact Wrestling and Pro-Wrestling NOAH, Eddie Edwards will look - at least this week - to put his rivalry with Ethan Carter to one side, as he looks to continue his run as the first ever foreign-star to hold the GHC Heavyweight Championship!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">

The show will also feature Tag Team action, and an “X Division Showcase” between Garza Jr. and current Champion Matt Sydal. Perhaps most intriguing will be the in-ring debut of newcomer Brian Cage, who made his impact felt last week, coming to the aid of Eli Drake. Having claimed Chris Adonis was responsible for his failure to recapture the Impact World Championship, Eli Drake’s finger of blame pushed Chris Adonis too far, resulting in Drake becoming caught in the Adonis Lock. This appeared to be part of a carefully laid out plan, as Brian Cage made his debut, jumping Chris Adonis from behind. Taking out the man who he appears to have replaced as Eli Drake’s “right-hand man”, Brian Cage left Chris Adonis laying in the ring and carried Eli Drake over his shoulder to the back. Having confirmed his alliance with the former World Champion, the “destructive force” of Brian Cage will no doubt have put the entire Impact Wrestling roster on notice, as they prepare for a landmark period in the history of the company.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';">

I am looking forward to seeing some real strong Impact alumni coming back to the promotion. Maybe Judas Mesias aka Mil Muertes comes back? If Impact could make a working agreement with Lucha Underground, they could bring in Rey Mysterio for a show or two. Rey Rey versus Alberto would be gold for Impact Wrestling even in Canada.</span></p>

Scoring a morally questionable, yet brutally decisive victory, Alberto El Patron came good on the promise he made upon his return. Defeating Johnny Impact, El Patron became the Impact World Champion, 6 months after being stripped of the title. Following the match, Alberto El Patron was joined by LAX, who held up their Championship gold on the ramp. Meanwhile, Johnny Impact received medical treatment for a serious injury to his right arm. Closing out the package, the words of Josh Matthews will be replayed, as he declared: “Tonight was the Genesis of a ‘New Era’ in Impact Wrestling.

This will lead the discussion away from Alberto El Patron and into LAX. Having formed a “working agreement” with Alberto El Patron, it will be put over that last week saw them debut a new member, as Ivelisse Velez humiliated Gail Kim in what was supposed to be her retirement speech. Borash will put over that as an utter show of disrespect, but point out that with the majority of the Gold in Impact Wrestling belonging to Alberto El Patron and his LAX allies, there is little anybody can do to stop them. Josh Matthews will talk about an “uneasy” balance of power in Impact Wrestling, which he puts down to the lack of an “authoritative presence” in the back. </span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><em>(3 minutes; including credits)</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Location:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> In-Ring</span></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Duration:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> 9 minutes</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Cutting the commentators introduction of the show short, the music of Alberto El Patron will play, and the new Impact World Champion will make his way to the ring.

Alberto El Patron will say that justice prevailed not because he asked for an opportunity… but because he took it!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> El Patron will take the audience back to Slammiversary, where he proved himself as the “best of the best” when he defeated the “unstoppable force”, Lashley. Alberto will say that not long after that, an accusing finger was pointed at him, and those in charge believed it without question. El Patron will add that even though he was cleared of any wrongdoings, this company still stripped him of the Championship that he earned - simply because they had decided he “wasn’t the face they wanted representing their company”. Alberto will then ask the audience to name the two faces that they did chose were. He will then answer his own question, saying that Eli Drake and Johnny Impact took his spot at Bound For Glory, asking “what do those two men have in common?” El Patron will say that “you can add Eddie Edwards... James Storm… Ethan Carter and more to that list, the answer stays the same”. Quoting Konnan, El Patron will say that the leader of LAX had it right when he said that the “White Mafia” were running Impact Wrestling.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Alberto El Patron will continue, saying that one by one, those “old boys” faded away, and where the power vacuum opened up, Alberto and LAX seized the opportunity! El Patron will say that last week, everybody saw that when it comes down to it, in an even one on one contest, Alberto El Patron is the “greatest competitor” in Impact Wrestling history! He will add that there was no LAX, no distracting the referee and no excuses for Johnny Impact. “There was just the Cross Armbreaker, Johnny Impact’s arm… and the sound of a bone crunching”.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> On this line, Johnny Impact’s music will play, and the former Champion will appear on the ramp.

The commentators will talk about the injury Impact sustained last week, after El Patron ruthlessly targeted his right arm. Taking a microphone in his left arm, Johnny Impact will be mocked by El Patron, who will extend his right arm, offering a handshake. The smug Alberto El Patron will of course be aware that Johnny’s injury will prevent him from accepting the handshake, even if he wanted to. Johnny Impact will see the humorous side, sarcastically saying “very funny”. From there, Johnny Impact will say that last week, Alberto El Patron was ruthless, he was aggressive and he held nothing back. But Johnny will add that he must admit, Alberto El Patron won the match fair and square. Impact may not have liked how he got there, but will concede that there is nothing El Patron did last week, that Johnny Impact wouldn’t have done in the same situation.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Alberto El Patron will appear to be equally honest, saying that Johnny Impact’s performance last week proved that he deserves to be at the very top of Impact Wrestling. This will later be revealed as another of El Patron’s “jokes”, as he uses this to lead into an “offer” for Johnny Impact to take his rematch for the Impact World Championship tonight. Johnny Impact will point out his arm, saying that there’s no way he would be cleared to compete tonight. El Patron will laugh, knowing that there was never any chance of Johnny taking the match. He will then tell Impact that he “tried”, adding that if Johnny can’t compete, then him being out here is an insult to the “sacred ring” which they stand in. Johnny Impact will say that Alberto’s right, because he knows there is a bunch of guys willing to come out here tonight and prove themselves. For that reason, Johnny will agree to leave the ring - exiting with a parting message to the Impact World Champion. Johnny Impact will assure Alberto El Patron that his injury will heal, and he will come back stronger. Johnny will then put his hand on the centerplate of the Championship, which will anger El Patron. As El Patron gets in Johnny’s face, the former Champion will finish his statement, declaring that he doesn’t know when he’ll be back, but he </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><em>will</em></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> be coming for Alberto El Patron and the Impact World Championship. With that, Johnny Impact will leave the ring.</span></span></p></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Following on from that segment, the commentators will talk about Alberto’s rematch proposal, pointing out that El Patron only made the challenge because he knew that Impact was unable to compete. They will use this to segue into talk of the Heavyweight Championship match which </span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><em>will</em></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> take place tonight, as Eddie Edwards defends NOAH’s GHC Heavyweight Championship, against Pro-Wrestling NOAH stalwart Naomichi Marufuji - the first time the Championship has been defended in North America.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> This discussion will lead into a “Tale of the Tape”, featuring the vital statistics of both Champion and Challenger. </span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><em>(1 minute)</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Location:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Interview Area</span></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Duration:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> 2 minutes</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Coming out of the “Tale of the Tape” graphic, Eddie Edwards will be shown in the interview area.

Edwards will add that Naomichi Marufuji is one of the best wrestlers in the world today, ensuring that tonight’s match will blow the minds of everybody in attendance. While Eddie Edwards will speak of his respect for his challenger, he will make it clear that he has zero intention of losing the GHC Heavyweight Championship, especially on his own turf.</span></span></p></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Video Package:</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Back from the break, footage will be shown from last week, recapping Brian Cage’s debut. Looking for someone to blame for his inability to regain the Impact World Champion, Eli Drake pointed the finger at the one man who has had his back throughout his run, Chris Adonis. Claiming that Chris Adonis had failed at his job, Eli Drake got in his former friends face. This resulted in Chris Adonis flipping, looking to put Drake in the Adonis Lock. When he eventually managed to secure the hold, Chris Adonis was jumped from behind, by the man who was recognised by Jeremy Borash as Brian Cage. Taking Chris Adonis out, and carrying his buddy to the back, the commentators suggested that Brian Cage is the “destructive force”, that will put the Impact Wrestling locker room “on notice”. </span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><em>(2 minutes)</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="VOppzNm.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VOppzNm.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1vq09KX.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1vq09KX.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ydeszGC.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ydeszGC.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Brian Cage vs. Vaughn Vertigo</strong></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> A complete one-sided domination, the match will see Brian Cage ragdoll his opponent around the ring, displaying his uncanny strength throughout the short match. Directed at ringside by Eli Drake, Brian Cage will allow the match to go a little bit longer than he could have, but still end it fairly quick. After just over two minutes, Brian Cage will lift Vertigo into a Gorilla Press. Cage will then transition the move into a Running Powerslam (the move used by Goldberg), dropping Vertigo to the mat. This move will be enough to secure the win.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Brian Cage</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Duration:</strong></div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 2 minutes</div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></div></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Location:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Duration:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> 4 minutes</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Immediately following the match, Eli Drake will enter the ring.

Storm will talk about what happened last week, saying that Ethan Carter’s “Team Impact” was an embarrassment to the company, and a insult to the history of Impact Wrestling. As much as that disrespect annoyed him, Storm will say that he’s here to talk about something else - tonight’s Main Event. James Storm will promote the history making GHC Heavyweight Championship match tonight, adding that he knows Ethan will have something planned. On that note, he will call out Ethan Carter. Coming to the top of the ramp, Carter will know to keep his distance from James Storm.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="bz46915.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bz46915.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Having nothing to say, Ethan Carter will tell Storm “the floor is yours”. James Storm will say that he doesn’t know why he’s trying to reason with Carter, but says that if Ethan has any respect left for this company, he will stay away from tonight’s Main Event. Putting over the fact that the match is the first time that the GHC Heavyweight Championship has been defended in North America, James Storm will plead with Carter. Having been asked to keep out of the match, Carter will smirk, telling James Storm “I promise. </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><em>I</em></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> will not get involved in tonight’s Main Event…”</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> The smug smirk on the face of Ethan Carter, and the emphasis of the word “I” will draw suspicion from the commentators, but Carter will leave the ramp. As discussion continues, James Storm will leave the ring, following Ethan Carter up the ramp. From here, the commentators will speak of their hope that Ethan Carter keeps out of the match, again putting over its significance. Before they can continue, the commentators will be joined by James Storm. Storm will point at the camera, telling the operator, “follow me”. The cameraman will then follow James Storm, as he goes through the curtain, in pursuit of Ethan Carter.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Location:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> In The Back</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Duration:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> 4 minutes</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> On the other side of the curtain, James Storm will be seen walking through the back, eventually catching up with Ethan Carter. Getting Ethan off guard, Storm will warn Carter, before throwing the first punch. The two men will then brawl throughout the back, causing chaos and mayhem all over the building. Initially looking to get away, Ethan Carter will eventually look to fight back, but will be unable to match the intensity of the fired up James Storm. The fight will continue, until people in the back come between them. While James Storm will try to get to Ethan Carter, the leader of “Team Impact” will take the opportunity to escape, opening a nearby door and seemingly locking himself in. Attempting to calm James Storm down, the members of the Impact Wrestling crew will lead Storm away from the area.</span></span></p></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Video Package:</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Coming back from the break, footage will be played recapping the rivalry between KM & Sienna and Crazzy Steve & Rosemary.

Moose will talk about his victory over Lashley two weeks ago, and how since that moment he has had a weight lifted off his shoulders. Moose will say that now he feels like he can achieve anything that he sets his mind to, and with that said, he has an announcement to make.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Moose will say that he saw the Main Event last week, and he saw Johnny Impact’s arm earlier tonight.

Moose will continue, saying that he is tired of hearing from Alberto El Patron, and vowing that he will be a Champion that these people can be proud of. Before he can say anymore, Moose will be cut off by the music of LAX. Moose will gear up, preparing to be ambushed by LAX. However, instead of the whole of the group coming out, Konnan will be seen alone, walking out of the LAX entrance.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="hedifeB.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hedifeB.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Slowly making his way to the ring, Konnan will make it clear to Moose that he comes in peace.

Konnan will then point all around the ringside area, telling Moose “these people don’t give a damn about you!” Moose will look confused, but won’t reply to Konnan - deciding instead to illustrate his point by leading a Moose chant. When people begin to join in, it will this time be Moose who points all around ringside. Konnan will say that these people chanting doesn’t mean anything, adding that he isn’t out here to talk to some farmyard animal, he is here to talk to the man behind the chant. Konnan will say that he must understand by now, that the same faces keep getting picked for the same spots. Konnan will say that everybody in this building knows the talent that Moose has, so why has it taken this long for him to feel he can get the shot he deserves. Konnan will then go nose to nose with Moose, after removing his shades. He will demand that Moose looks him in the eyes, and tell him that he truly believes that the people in power want him to succeed.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Konnan’s message will appear to resonate with Moose, and he will look as if he is considering what has been said to him. Konnan will add that if he’s coming after Alberto El Patron, then Moose is fighting the wrong battle. Konnan will ask Moose if he really wants to play by the rules of the “White Mafia”? Moose will shake his head at Konnan, before getting fired up. Moose will say that he doesn’t give a damn about all that, because when he gets in the ring, nobody can stop him! Moose will say that he isn’t going to change who he is for anybody, because he knows that he has it inside of himself to do anything he wants in this business. Moose will say that this isn’t about Alberto El Patron and this isn’t about LAX. “This is about making sure that the next Impact World Champion, goes by the name…” Moose will then pump his arm, looking to start off a chant of his name. When satisfied with the reaction, Moose will exit the ring and up the ramp, leaving a pensive Konnan in the ring.</span></span></p></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Coming back from the break, the commentators will discuss the events that took place on the other side. Believing that Moose wasn’t buying into Konnan’s philosophy, they suggest that Alberto El Patron may have the new challenger he wanted in his sights in the near future.

While the two men will be given the chance to show off their abilities, this will eventually lead to a finish that protects Naomichi Marufuji, as Dewey Barnes & Norv Fernum pull Eddie Edwards out of the ring, as he was setting up for the Boston Knee Party.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="BPtUV3P.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BPtUV3P.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="q0YLI3K.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/q0YLI3K.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The two men will jump on Eddie Edwards, leaving the referee no choice but to call for the bell.</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Eddie Edwards (DQ)</div><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Duration:</strong></div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"></div></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Location:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> In-Ring</span></span><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><strong>Duration:</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> 5 minutes</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Following the match, Dewey Barnes and Norv Fernum will further their assault on Eddie Edwards.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> </span></span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="BPtUV3P.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BPtUV3P.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="q0YLI3K.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/q0YLI3K.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="AeMkvG6.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AeMkvG6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';"> Continuing to beat the Eddie Edwards down on the outside, the pair will roll him into the ring, gloating to the audience as they do.

Playing up to their “dumb sidekick” persona, the two men will eventually spot him, and for some reason expect that Marufuji wants to join in. It will soon become clear he doesn’t. Jeremy Borash will suggest that if they know what’s good for them, Ethan’s lackeys will leave the ring. Instead, they will start to direct Marufuji, ordering that he joins in the attack. Clearly not realising they had just cost the man the chance to become the GHC Heavyweight Champion, Barnes and Norv will be shocked when he refuses.

As the two men engage in a staredown, realising that this probably won’t be the last time they go at it, Eddie Edwards will make it clear that Marufuji will get another shot.

After the Main Event of last week’s show was sabotaged by “Team Impact”, Eddie Edwards saw only one way to solve the problem, and has called out Ethan Carter for a match this week. Having ruined a historic moment in Impact Wrestling history, Ethan Carter will this week have to face the GHC Heavyweight Champion. Looking to counterbalance the potential presence of Dewey Barnes and Norv Fernum from “Team Impact”, James Storm has been named as the “Guest Enforcer” for the match. Last week, as Ethan Carter gloated about his actions, he was hit with Last Call Superkick by James Storm. Storm promised that as long as Carter continues his twisted crusade, Storm will be waiting behind him every step of the way…

 

There will also be Knockouts action this week, following a challenge made to LAX by Allie. Having humiliated Gail Kim, and taken the Knockouts Championship she was set to vacate, LAX’s Ivelisse Velez was called out by Allie - a long term friend of Gail Kim. Sharing many people’s disgust with the tactics used by LAX, after they threatened physical violence towards Gail’s husband, Allie has vowed that if Gail Kim can’t take revenge herself, then Allie will! While Allie’s challenge was accepted, she will this week face Diamante, and not the Knockouts Champion.

 

Of course, this is unlikely to be LAX’s only involvement of the night, as Konnan looks to protect Impact World Champion, and LAX ally, Alberto El Patron.

 

Also set for the night’s show, Chris Adonis will officially call out Eli Drake, looking for answers after Drake blamed him for his lack of recent success, two weeks ago. Bringing in Brian Cage to assault Chris Adonis, Eli Drake has claimed that he needed to “upgrade” from Chris Adonis, if he wishes to once again become the Impact World Champion. Chris Adonis didn’t buy this, and with Eli Drake’s claims that Impact Wrestling has become a “lawless land”, he intends to bring Eli Drake to justice - no matter what it takes!

 

Elsewhere, Sienna will look to get back to winning ways against Alisha Edwards, while Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt will call on backup as they look to gain revenge of the disrespectful B.T.C. The show will also feature the Impact Wrestling debut of Cody Deaner, as he goes one on one with the flashy and arrogant Idris Abraham.
