<div style="text-align:center;">"The Fight Back" <img alt="jjGzWQw.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jjGzWQw.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Location: Toronto, Canada - Announcers: Jeremy Borash and Josh Matthews</div> Video Package: Following the opening titles, footage will be shown from last week’s Impact Wrestling. At the end of the show, having defeated Braxton Sutter in the Main Event, Alberto El Patron ordered LAX out from the back, signaling for them to pick the bones of Sutter - who had previously joined his girlfriend Allie in standing up to the group. As the attack went on, Johnny Impact made his way out from the back, but struggled with the numbers game of LAX. It was at this point that Moose joined Johnny Impact, helping him to clear the ring of LAX. Having been at odds in the last couple of weeks, Johnny Impact and Moose came together - united against LAX! (2 minutes) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 10 minutes Coming out of the video package recapping the events of last week, the music of Johnny Impact will open the show. Johnny Impact will make his way down to the ring. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="BHbkbJD.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BHbkbJD.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Standing in the ring, with a microphone in his hand, Johnny Impact will say nothing, as the music of Moose closely follows his entrance. Walking down the ramp, leading the chant of his name, Moose will join the former Impact World Champion in the middle of the ring. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="N3labAa.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/N3labAa.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Standing shoulder to shoulder, the two men who came together last week will nod at each other. The commentators will explain that despite their differences, Johnny Impact and Moose have been brought together due to their mutual disdain of Konnan’s group LAX. Making a ‘joint statement’, the two men will put over their issues with Alberto El Patron, Konnan and LAX. They will talk about the “fight back” against the dominant group, summing their feelings up in the final lines of the promo. Speaking first, Moose will point at his new partner and say “we stand together…” with Johnny Impact adding “...against LAX!” Shortly after, the music of LAX will hit, and Konnan will make his way out from the LAX entranceway. <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> Responding to the two men in the ring, Konnan will tell them that “you two don’t stand for anything”, before adding that “when you stand for nothing… you will fall, to L-A-X!” It will be at this point that Ortiz and Santana will appear, jumping on to the ring apron. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="MBBzVT1.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MBBzVT1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FlrPi4u.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FlrPi4u.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> As they enter the ring, the former Tag Team Champions will begin to brawl with Johnny Impact and Moose. This will catch Impact and Moose of guard, and Moose will be taken down in the corner. The pair will then throw Johnny Impact out of the ring, focussing on the beat down of Moose. Johnny Impact will eventually return to the ring, managing to clear it of Ortiz and Santana. However, as the fired up Johnny Impact stands in the ring, seemingly ready for anything, he will be hit from behind by a Steel Pipe, swung by Homicide! <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> The impact of the shot will buckle to knee of Johnny Impact, who will fall to the mat. The LAX OG will then stand over the former Impact World Champion, throwing up the LAX “gang sign”. Picking the Steel Pipe up, Homicide will then leave - returning where he came from.</div></blockquote> Coming out of the segment, Jeremy Borash and Josh Matthews will formally introduce the show for the viewers - promoting the Main Event match between Ethan Carter and James Storm. They will explain that the match is Ethan Carter’s first Grand Championship defence since before Bound For Glory, and promote the personal rivalry between the two competitors. This will lead to the introduction of footage from earlier today, where the Impact Wrestling cameras spoke to James Storm. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: Entrance of the Building Duration: 2 minutes Taken from “earlier today”, the segment will see James Storm interviewed about his Main Event match tonight - a Grand Championship opportunity against Ethan Carter. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1AjM6w0.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1AjM6w0.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> James Storm will be given free reign to promote the match, highlighting the difference between how the two men made it to the top of Impact Wrestling. Storm will explain that as they reason why the people respect him, and can’t stand Ethan Carter. While James Storm talks about his desire to become the Impact Grand Champion, he will be greeted by Eddie Edwards. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="cfeV8xl.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cfeV8xl.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Previously unaware of the camera, Eddie will ask if it is a “bad time”, before wishing James Storm luck in his match tonight. Edwards will tell Storm that he hopes that when he takes his Grand Championship match next week, there will be a new Impact Grand Champion - James Storm. Storm will thank Edwards for his support, making it clear that he intends to make Edwards’ wish come true in tonight’s Main Event.</div></blockquote> Returning from the commercial break, the commentators will continue to promote the Grand Championship match in the Main Event, introducing footage from last week’s show. Video Package: The footage will show Ethan Carter laying down demands for action against Eddie Edwards and James Storm, after the competitors attacked him as he served as referee during a match between the two. Instead of punishment, James Storm informed Ethan Carter that the two men would receive Grand Championship matches - on back to back episodes of Impact Wrestling.

Once KM & Sienna feel enough damage has been done, they will leave back up the ramp. While their match will be delayed, Rosemary and Crazzy Steve will regroup in the ring, staring down the pair as they leave the scene of their sneak attack.</div></blockquote> Having left their rivals laying, the commentators will talk about the recent change of tactics from KM & Sienna - who appeared to struggle to cope with Crazzy Steve & Rosemary when their paths first crossed. Using talk of their ruthless approach, the commentators will segue into discussing the attack suffered by Johnny Impact earlier tonight, when he was attacked by Homicide of LAX. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: LAX “Club House” Duration: 2 minutes Arriving in the “Club House” of LAX, Konnan will be seen in high spirits, address the members of his faction. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="DxdO1Fh.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DxdO1Fh.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FfulCsK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FfulCsK.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="hedifeB.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hedifeB.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7ZJpLq9.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7ZJpLq9.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="rEvrPIM.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rEvrPIM.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Speaking positively, Ortiz and Santana will be subject of praise from Konnan, who will reserve special plaudits for his main man Homicide. Talking up his efficient assault on Johnny Impact, Konnan will say that there is nobody he trust more than Homicide. Konnan will then switch his focus to the Knockouts Champion, Ivelisse Velez. Heading out for her match, Velez will be followed by Diamante.</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="erMZBe8.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/erMZBe8.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="FfulCsK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FfulCsK.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Amber Nova vs. Ivelisse Velez</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> In an extremely one sided match, Ivelisse Velez will dominate her opponent - once again showing herself as the “most dominant force in the Knockouts Division”.

Ivelisse Velez will then stand over her “victim”, holding the Knockouts Championship above her head.</div></blockquote> Coming back from the break, the commentators will talk about last week’s Main Event between Alberto El Patron and Braxton Sutter. This will lead into footage from the match. Video Package: The footage will show Alberto El Patron’s clinical dissection of his opponent’s arm, before he made Braxton Sutter to submit to the Cross Armbreaker. Out of the footage, the commentators will introduce an interview that was conducted with Braxton Sutter after last week’s show. They will also remind the viewers that Braxton suffered an attack at the hands of LAX, just moments after the match with El Patron had concluded. (2 minutes) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: Medical Room (Last Week) Duration: 2 minutes The segment will begin with Braxton Sutter having his arm taped up, grimacing in pain as the treatment is administered. Standing by the side of her boyfriend, in the medical room, Allie will support Braxton. When Braxton Sutter is asked about his defeat, it will be clear that he is frustrated with what happened in the Main Event. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="yYubj15.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yYubj15.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GZlfmYj.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GZlfmYj.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Sutter will say that he can take being beaten, but he can’t take somebody trying to “break” him. Braxton Sutter will add that this business is his livelihood, and when somebody tries to take that away - the way Alberto El Patron clearly did last week - then it becomes personal. Braxton will explain - while still in considerable pain from what the doctor is doing to him - that he is doing this because he has Allie’s back, and he knows that she always has his back. He will point out that some things go beyond Impact Wrestling, but say that at the end of the day, this is how he puts food on the table. Sutter will then, despite his pain, grab his girlfriend by the arm, telling the Impact Wrestling cameras that “having this woman by my side… means that I will keep fighting, I will keep working… and I will continue to stand against LAX!”</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="iYR6E7O.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/iYR6E7O.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="QTBWNpR.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/QTBWNpR.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Mike Bailey vs. Tyson Dux</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Coming into the match well, Mike Bailey will take the fight to Tyson Dux with his quick kicks.

Having brought a microphone into the ring, Sonjay Dutt will say that nobody will remember the wins and losses of tonight’s show, but if Tyson Dux makes the right decision - it will be remembered forever. Petey Williams will then extend a hand to Tyson Dux, offering him a place as one of “The Gatekeepers” of the X Division. However, before Tyson can make his decision, Dezmond Xavier & DJ Z will run down to the ring. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="jp183dw.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jp183dw.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pWvLUFZ.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pWvLUFZ.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> While Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt will quickly vacate the area, Tyson Dux will stay stood in the ring. DJ Z and Xavier will attempt to reason with Tyson Dux, but he will remain stoic, giving no indication of his alignment either way. When he is asked straight up about his allegiances by DJ Z, Tyson Dux will leave the ring, heading off up the ramp.</div></blockquote> Video Package: Footage from the opening of the show will be replayed, highlighting the moment that Homicide hit Johnny Impact in the back of the leg with a Steel Pipe. Discussing the events of the footage, the commentators will inform the viewers that Johnny Impact has just left the medical room, and is stood by ready to be interviewed.

Johnny will say that through these injury, he has kept working, and that’s what he intends to do now. Impact will then challenge Homicide to a match, saying that he doesn’t want anybody other than himself to be responsible for his actions. It will be because of this that he will challenge Homicide to a match where absolutely anything goes!</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 2 minutes <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="xt4fwpY.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xt4fwpY.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> With his opponent Cody Deaner already in the ring, Eli Drake will have a microphone in his hand as he makes his entrance.

He will explain that he has scrapped and clawed his way to being a former World Champion, and he wasn’t handed matches against World Champions in his second match. Eli Drake will say that as “working class warrior”, Cody should know about building himself up to challenge like E-Li Drake. For that reason, Eli Drake will refuse to take part in the match, subbing in his right-hand man Brian Cage instead! Cody Deaner will have no issue with with, showing himself as completely up for the challenge.</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><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="xt4fwpY.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xt4fwpY.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Brian Cage vs. Cody Deaner</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> A predictably one sided match, the focus of the contest will be to put over the strength and power of Brian Cage, as well as the heart and determination of Cody Deaner.

Ordering him to bring Cody Deaner to the outside, it will be clear that Eli Drake will have something sinister in mind. <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="IchhW35.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IchhW35.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="xt4fwpY.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xt4fwpY.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Informing Brian Cage of his plan, Eli Drake will tell his partner to hold Cody Deaner up against the ringpost. Cage will then wrap the arm of Cody Deaner around the post. Eli Drake will go under the ring, pulling out a Steel Chair. Preparing to take Cody Deaner out of action, the commentators will remind the viewers about Eli Drake’s actions in recent weeks, where he has made light of the injury sustained to Chris Adonis. Attempting to take Cody Deaner out with the same injury, Eli Drake will swing the chair at the arm of Cody Deaner. Yelling out in pain, Deaner will be hit with the chair several more times, until he falls to the ground. At this point, Eli Drake will lead Brian Cage back up the ramp. As he approaches the cameraman on the ramp, Eli Drake will talk straight down the lense, saying “Chris… get well soon!” with a smug smirk on his face. As they leave, Brian Cage will flex his muscles, before heading back up the ramp.</div></blockquote> <hr>Returning for the second hour of the show, the commentators will discuss the actions of Eli Drake, who Jeremy Borash will describe as a “remorseless psychopath”. This will lead nicely into talk of Ethan Carter, who will make his first defence of the Grand Championship since before Bound For Glory, in the Main Event. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: Interview Area Duration: 2 minutes In the interview area, Ethan Carter will be stood holding his Grand Championship over his shoulder. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="e20crzh.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/e20crzh.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Talking about the Main Event, Ethan Carter will answer questions regarding his lack of recent title defences by claiming that the climate that was being harboured in Impact Wrestling stopped him from doing so. Carter will say that he couldn’t be a fighting Champion, when he was busy fighting off threats like Eddie Edwards and his opponent tonight, James Storm. Ethan Carter will say that now his plan is in motion, and he has successfully defended Impact Wrestling, he can get back to doing what he does best - defending Impact Wrestling gold!</div></blockquote> Coming out of the interview, the commentators will talk about last week’s Main Event, and the injury that Braxton Sutter suffered at the hands of Alberto El Patron. Promoting that Alberto El Patron will address his Impact World Championship challengers up next, the announcers will introduce footage from last week. Video Package: The footage will show the damage sustained to Braxton Sutter at the hands of Alberto El Patron. After the match, additional damage was done to Sutter by LAX - punishment for standing up for his girlfriend Allie. (2 minutes) While Alberto El Patron’s entrance is scheduled to be up next, the commentators will say that there has been a delay, citing an incident in the back as the reason. Instead of El Patron addressing the audience, they inform viewers that they must now send to the Locker Room area. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In The Back Duration: 2 minutes Seen just outside the male Locker Room, James Storm will have been found out cold in the back - victim of a sneak attack. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1AjM6w0.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1AjM6w0.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> As he is helped up to his feet by members of the crew, James Storm will be seen struggling to balance, while he attempts to explain what happened. While the camera will remain on James Storm, a split screen will be shown - with Josh Matthews & Jeremy Borash appearing in the bottom corner of the screen. Despite concerns about Storm’s status for the Main Event, and an obvious motive for Ethan Carter’s involvement in the attack, the commentators will say that early signs suggest that there is no way Ethan could have been involved in the attack. First reported just moments after Ethan had been interviewed about the Main Event, it appears impossible that Ethan Carter would have been directly responsible for the attack on James Storm.</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 9 minutes Slightly delayed, Alberto El Patron will clearly be annoyed about having to wait to make his entrance. Once he reaches the ring, El Patron will snatch a microphone from a ringside assistant. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Pp3sDMm.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Pp3sDMm.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Addressing the Number One Contendership situation, Alberto El Patron will say that neither Johnny Impact or Moose have done anything to prove to him that they deserve an Impact World Championship shot. El Patron will say that Impact is walking around here like a one-armed bandit, and Moose seems to think he can trade off beating Lashley for his whole career. Continuing to rundown the competition, Alberto El Patron will put himself over as “The Boss” of Impact Wrestling, proclaiming that as Champion, what he says goes. This will lead into Alberto El Patron saying that he isn’t going to defend his Impact World Championship against Johnny Impact or Moose, until they agree to face each other. Patron will say that if they really want to prove that they deserve a title shot, then they will have to be willing to beat their friend to do so. As Alberto El Patron goes to leave the ring, having completed his statement, Braxton Sutter will make his way down the ramp. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="yYubj15.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yYubj15.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Stopping in his track, Alberto El Patron will wonder what Sutter is doing here, as the commentators recap Alberto’s victory over Sutter last week. Braxton Sutter will enter the ring, and will take a microphone. However, as soon as Sutter gets in Alberto El Patron’s face, the Impact World Champion will slap him across the ear, sending Sutter falling to the mat. Having taken Sutter down with a single swift strike, Alberto El Patron will adjust his Championship and leave up the ramp.</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: Interview Area Duration: 2 minutes Returning to the interview area, Matt Sydal will be asked about the upcoming Tag Team match, where he will team with Garza Jr. The interviewer will make reference to the issues between the two men in recent weeks. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="0rrQ9s4.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0rrQ9s4.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Matt Sydal will say that he isn’t sure what Garza Jr.’s issue is, but as far as he is concerned, they’re still on the same page.

This will appear to be a solid assessment early on in, but eventually Garza Jr. and Matt Sydal will come back into the match. Coming together as a solid unit, the commentators will suggest that any issues between the two men seem to have dissolved, as they work together. Taking Everett out of the picture, Garza Jr. will then hit his signature Superkick, before tagging the X Division Champion in to the match. Matt Sydal will then head to the top rope, hitting the Shooting Star Press to secure the win.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Winners:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Garza Jr. & Matt Sydal</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Duration:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 7 minutes</div></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 2 minutes <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="aHHkNkJ.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aHHkNkJ.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="0rrQ9s4.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0rrQ9s4.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> After the match, Matt Sydal will be all smiles as he and Garza Jr. have their arms raised in the ring. However, when Matt Sydal looks to embrace Garza Jr., he will be stopped in his tracks. Garza Jr. will then point at the X Division Championship round Sydal’s waist, telling him “this isn’t about me and you… this is about winning!” Garza Jr. will then drop out of the ring, leaving Matt Sydal alone. On commentary, Jeremy Borash will suggest that Garza is only interested in one thing - the X Division Championship.</div></blockquote> Video Package: Footage will be shown from Taya Valkyrie’s return last week.

Telling the referee to call off the match, Ethan Carter be annoyed when he refuses to do so. Ethan Carter will then take his microphone, telling the referee he will do his job for him.

”Hard Justice”

This week’s Impact Wrestling will see a highly stacked card, as Impact’s Global distributors present: Hard Justice!

Of particular note, is the one on one Main Event match between Ethan Carter and Eddie Edwards - where two men of very different backgrounds, styles and approaches go one on one for the Grand Championship. Last week, Ethan Carter defeated James Storm - after the challenger had been assaulted in the back by a mystery assailant. Video footage which proved Ethan Carter’s whereabouts at the time of the assault would appear to clear him, but a sense of injustice remains over last week’s Main Event. Having claimed Edwards and Storm as “Enemies of Impact”, Ethan Carter has taken the position as “Impact’s Defender”, and will look to continue his mission to rid the company of his former “Team Impact” teammates.

Elsewhere, Homicide will make his return to singles action in Impact Wrestling, going one on one with Johnny Impact in a Street Fight. Having assaulted Johnny Impact with a Steel Pipe last week, LAX’s Homicide was challenged by the former Impact World Champion - who is currently suffering from a number of niggling injuries stemming from his rivalries with Alberto El Patron and LAX. Playing into the hands of Homicide, the opportunity to further add to Impact’s troubles was too tempting to turn down, and the LAX OG will return to the Impact Wrestling ring for a heated Street Fight this week!

Also, Crazzy Steve and Rosemary will face KM & Sienna, in a No DQ match which has been made to bring an end to their heated rivalry. Having had their opponent’s number during their earlier interactions, Crazzy Steve & Rosemary have been the victim of a series of sneak attacks from KM & Sienna, and will look to score revenge in a match where anything is legal! Meanwhile, X Division up and comers DJ Z & Dezmond Xavier will team up against The Gatekeepers, in a match which will see them attempt to prove they have the ability to hang with the two X Division veterans. Having claimed themselves to be the last bastions of a “Golden Age” in X Division history, Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt have spent the past month looking to establish themselves as the dominant force in the X Division.

Realising that getting the two men under control would be futile, the referee will ring the bell to start the match. From here, the match will be a fairly even contest, focussed on highlighting the skillsets of the two men involved. Throughout the match, it will be noted that Johnny Impact is still suffering from an arm injury, sustained against Alberto El Patron last month. Using various weapons to compliment their styles, the physical feats of athleticism performed by Johnny Impact will be met with the hard-hitting, gritty approach of Homicide. This will result in a highly competitive match, where Homicide will often look in control, until Impact manages to turn the tables.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The finish to the match will come when the two men look to return to the ring. With Johnny Impact entering the ring first, Homicide will follow, but stop on the apron. When Impact looks to hurry Homicide, the LAX original will swing a Steel Pipe at Impact - the weapon used to take Johnny out last week. However, Impact’s impressive reaction times will see him catch the Steel Pipe, which he will use to drag Homicide back in the ring. Now without his weapon, Homicide will come at Johnny Impact, who will duck out of the way. Reversing the assault from last week, Johnny Impact will use the Pipe like a Baseball Bat, swinging it into the back of Homicide’s leg. This will cause the LAX veteran to fall to the mat, in perfect position to be hit with the Impact Elbow. Favouring his injured arm, Johnny will be able to connect with the move, scoring the victory in the match.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Johnny Impact</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Duration:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 12 minutes</div></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 1 minute Following the match, Johnny Impact will return to his feet, where the referee will raise his hand. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="BHbkbJD.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BHbkbJD.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Putting over the arm injury that he is still suffering from, as well as the damage sustained during the match with Homicide, Johnny will look to be in some discomfort. As Johnny Impact celebrates his victory, the commentators will put his huge win, suggesting that his rematch with Impact World Champion, Alberto El Patron, may be just around the corner.</div></blockquote> Video Package: Returning from the first commercial break, the rest of the night’s show will be promoted - with continued focus on the “Hard Justice” special episode. Particular prominence will be given to the Main Event match between Eddie Edwards and Ethan Carter, where the latter will defend his Impact Grand Championship. Promoting that match, as well as the matches such as Crazzy Steve & Rosemary vs. KM & Sienna (in a No DQ match), Dezmond Xavier & DJ Z vs. The Gatekeepers and action featuring the new Tag Team Champions, the commentators will put over tonight’s episode as being jam packed with the very best that Impact Wrestling has to offer.

Two people who have stood up to LAX, Allie and Braxton Sutter, will then make their way down to the ring. The commentators will put over the bravery of the pair, but also point out the danger that they have put themselves in by making enemies of LAX. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GZlfmYj.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GZlfmYj.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="yYubj15.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yYubj15.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Once in the ring, Allie will take a microphone. Calling out the actions of LAX, Allie will say that she doesn’t feel safe coming to the ring alone, because she knows that Ivelisse Velez will never come out to the ring without the backing of LAX. Allie will say that with Braxton by her side, she feels she can say some things that have been on her mind, and she wants to do that face to face. Coming out of the LAX entranceway, Ivelisse Velez will already have a microphone. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="FfulCsK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FfulCsK.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Heated from the get go, Ivelisse will walk towards the ring, while telling Allie that she’s here alone now, and she doesn’t need any back up. Velez will say that if Allie is half the woman she claims she is, then she will send Braxton Sutter to the back, and they can talk to each other on a one to one basis. Both Allie and Braxton will be skeptical, with Braxton particularly making it clear that he doesn’t trust Velez. However, when Ivelisse Velez says that Allie will someday have to learn to stop hiding behind her man, Allie will be prompted to ask Braxton Sutter to leave. When the two stand alone in the ring, Velez will take control of the situation, telling Allie that she has her right now, and she’s ready to listen - Velez will then challenge Allie by asking “what you got?” This will make Allie nervous, with her previously more assertive demeanor taking a momentary back seat. However, she will pluck up the courage to tell Ivelisse Velez how she feels. Allie will talk about the fact that Ivelisse Velez won the Knockouts Championship on her first night in Impact Wrestling, and how she was given an opportunity that many women have to fight for years to even come close to. Allie will say that the disrespect shown to a legend of their division is exactly the reason why Ivelisse doesn’t deserve to hold the title. Allie will add that she isn’t saying that Ivelisse isn’t a worthy Knockout, nor is she questioning her ability. Allie’s issue has always been with how she took her opportunity. This will lead to Allie recapping the threats of violence towards Gail Kim’s husband Robert Irvine, and how they were used to force Gail Kim into accepting one more match on her retirement night. Allie will say that a woman as iconic and inspirational as Gail Kim deserved to go out with dignity, instead she was left to rot in the middle of the ring. This will bring Allie to her boyfriend Braxton Sutter, and the way that they have both been treated for daring to stand up to LAX. Allie will say that she is afraid of what they might do to him, but she has never let fear stop her before. Allie will then tell Ivelisse Velez that the reason she wanted Velez out here tonight, is to officially challenge her to a Knockouts Championship match! Having listened to everything Allie had to say, Velez will be rather dismissive, simply telling her “I’ll think about it…” before leaving the ring and heading back towards the LAX entranceway. Left in the ring, having poured her heart out, Allie will cut a frustrated figure.</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: Interview Area Duration: 2 minutes Coming back from the break, Eddie Edwards will be seen in the Interview Area, prepared to promote the Main Event match. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="cfeV8xl.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cfeV8xl.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Eddie Edwards will talk about his match against Ethan Carter, and the recent rivalry between the two men.

While Dutt and Williams enjoy a spell of dominance, the commentators will explain the rivalry to the viewers, focussing on Petey Williams and Sonjay Dutt’s belief that they are the guardians of a “Golden Era” in the history of the X Division, which will never be repeated. Fighting against this, DJ Z will come back into the match and eventually bring Dezmond Xavier into the contest. From here, Dezmond Xavier and DJ Z will look to take control of the match, only to be stopped in their tracks by the emergence of Tyson Dux. </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="QTBWNpR.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/QTBWNpR.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Distracting DJ Z, Tyson Dux will make his way down to the ring. Stopping at the bottom of the ramp, Dux’s presence won’t disrupt the match too much, and DJ Z will continue to build momentum. However, when Williams and Dezmond Xavier get heated on the outside, the referee’s distraction will allow Dux to spring into action. First Dux will throw Xavier into the Guardrail, before following up by pushing DJ Z off the top rope. He will then enter the ring, hitting DJ Z with a Lariat from behind that hands the victory to The Gatekeepers. This will allow Dutt to take the pin, secure his team’s win.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Winners:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The Gatekeepers</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Duration:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 7 minutes</div></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 4 minutes Getting out of the ring and celebrating up the ramp, The Gatekeepers will leave Tyson Dux stood tall in the ring. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="QTBWNpR.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/QTBWNpR.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> As Tyson Dux remains in the ring, looking to come across as intimidating, he will be joined. Walking down the ramp at pace, Mike Bailey will hold his arms out, questioning what Tyson Dux had just done. Dux will remain unmoved. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="iYR6E7O.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/iYR6E7O.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> When Mike enters the ring, he will ask Dux what he is thinking, but Tyson will have no answer. Tyson Dux will then brush past Bailey, going to leave the ring. However, before he exits, Tyson will turn back and hit Mike Bailey with a Lariat which sends him to the mat. Tyson Dux will then lay some boots in Bailey as he attempts to get back to his feet. After a while, Bailey will be allowed to return to his feet, only to be hit with a High Knee to the back of the neck by Tyson Dux. This will send Mike Bailey crashing into the ropes, and when he rebounds back, Tyson Dux will hit him with a vicious Lariat to the back of the head. This will send him crashing into the mat, landing completely out cold in the ring. As Mike Bailey lays motionless in the ring, the commentators will put over the viciousness of the assault from Tyson Dux, who appears to have aligned himself with The Gatekeepers, after handing them the victory in their match with Dezmond Xavier & DJ Z.</div></blockquote> Coming back from the break, the commentators will discuss the violent actions of Tyson Dux, claiming that he “nearly took Bailey’s head off”. Moving on, it will be made clear that the violence isn’t set to end any time soon, as the next match will be a No DQ match! This will lead into the introduction of a video package. Video Package: Recapping the rivalry between Crazzy Steve & Rosemary and KM & Sienna, footage will show the early interactions between the two sides, where the former members of Decay consistently got the better of KM & Sienna. This resulted in a change of approach from the family duo, who began to use more cunning tactics to get the better of their opponent.

Going for a Powerbomb, KM will look to take Crazzy Steve out completely. However, before KM can release his opponent, Crazzy Steve will grab his neck. Sacrificing his own body, Crazzy Steve will use his momentum to send both men crashing into the Barbed Wire Board, effectively taking them both out of the equation. Back in the ring, Sienna will look to hit Rosemary with a Superplex, but also find herself unable to complete the move. Fighting out of the corner, Rosemary will be able to slip out and drop to the mat. She will then be able to grab Sienna on the second rope and carry her over to the Table.

However, before that can get underway, they will introduce footage from last week. Video Package: With footage playing from last week, where James Storm was found out cold in the back, the commentators will explain the fact that Ethan Carter could not have been directly involved in the attack. Clips will then be shown from the Main Event match between Carter and Storm, where Storm’s injury drastically lowered his chances of coming out victorious.

Seemingly doing so, James Storm will say that he wanted to come out here and call out whoever attacked him, but if he learned one thing last week, it’s that whoever did this is a coward. Because of that James Storm isn’t out here to call anybody out, he’s here with a warning. James Storm will add that while Ethan Carter couldn’t have been physically involved in the attacks, he isn’t ruling him out of having played a part. After all, Carter was the one man who had the most to gain from the attack. James Storm will then say that his warning is pretty simple, and it goes out to everybody in the back. Storm will tell the Impact Wrestling locker room that he will find out who is responsible for costing him his opportunity, and he has a message for that person - as well as anybody who tries to come between him and the perpetrator. When James Storm gets his hands on the attacker, then he is quite simply “sorry… about [their] damn luck!” On that note, James Storm will leave the ring, having made his point loud and clear.</div></blockquote> Video Package: Footage from two weeks ago will show highlights from the World Tag Team Championship match between LAX and Pro-Wrestling NOAH’s Katsuhiko Nakajima & Naomichi Marufuji.

Quicker and more technical than their opponents, the World Tag Team Champions will be able to score a decisive victory, with Katsuhiko Nakajima scoring the pin over Wilcox, following a Bridging Northern Lights Suplex.

Looking into the camera, Konnan will say “Allie… you got your match - next week!”</div></blockquote> Returning to ringside, the commentators will be shocked at the depths that LAX are willing to go to, saying that they have once again crossed the line. Speaking of how much further the issue could escalate, they will then move on to talk about the personal nature of the rivalry in the Main Event, adding that both competitors have agreed for the rounds to be extended to 5 minutes for their Grand Championship match. The reason that the stakes are so high in the match will be covered in an extensive video package. Video Package: Going into the rivalry between the two men, which began after Ethan Carter turned his back on Eddie Edwards with a low blow, the video package will cover the differences between the competitors. Comparing them as two former Impact World Champions, their paths to the title will be contrasted, before the specifics of their rivalry is detailed. Considering Eddie Edwards to be an “Enemy of Impact” (along with James Storm), Ethan Carter has unsuccessfully tried to rid Impact Wrestling of him. In doing this, Ethan Carter continually neglected his duties as the Impact Grand Champion, until his two biggest rivals spoke out against him. This resulted in this match being made, taking place just one week after James Storm came so close to “reclaiming” the Grand Championship from Ethan Carter.

Eventually taking control of the round, Ethan Carter’s ability to slow the tempo serves him well, as Edwards will look to make headway. By the end of the round, Eddie Edwards will be beginning to gain momentum, and look to finish the match off in the first round. However, as Edwards seems to set up to finish the match quickly, the Grand Champion will be saved by the bell - just as he was last week. </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Round #1 Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Ethan Carter (split)</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> [Round #2] Unhappy with the decision of Round 1, which the commentators will explain as being due to Carter’s ability to control much of the round, Eddie Edwards will be straight out of the blocks in the second round. Catching Ethan Carter off guard, Eddie Edwards will dominate the round, coming close to a pinfall victory. While the second half of the round will see Carter do a good job of “fire fighting”, he won’t come close to redressing the balance.

Explaining that Eddie Edwards was </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">not</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> attacked before the match, his performance during the round will show how much fresher than James Storm the challenger is. As a result, he will be able to continue the momentum of the second round. This will lead to Ethan Carter finding himself locked in an Ankle Lock just before the 3 minute mark of the final round.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> In his attempt to scramble out of the move, Ethan Carter will eventually find himself facing the ramp, looking directly at the countdown clock on the big screen. With just under 2 minutes left at this point, Eddie Edwards will ‘grapevine’ the leg, causing Ethan Carter to accept that he will not be escape the move. Looking to the screen, desperate to hold on, Ethan Carter will be unable to do so. As the commentators say that every second must feel like an hour to Carter at that moment in time, the Grand Champion will tap out in the middle of the ring.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Eddie Edwards </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">(NEW Impact Grand Champion)</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Duration:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 2 x 5 minutes rounds; 3 minutes of Round 3</div></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 3 minutes Following the match, the relief of Eddie Edwards will result in him sprawling backwards in the ring.

”The Contenders”

Following last week’s huge “Hard Justice” special episode, Impact Wrestling returns with another packed show - emanating from Chicago, Illinois. Coming out of his victory over Homicide in a Street Fight, the injury hit Johnny Impact will once again step into the ring, this time against Moose. Having been told that the only way either man would get a shot at Impact World Champion, Alberto El Patron, would be to face off against each other, Moose pushed for the match to take place - with management announcing it as this week’s Main Event.

Elsewhere, former World Tag Team Champions (Ortiz & Santana) will take their rematch, three weeks after losing their titles to Pro-Wrestling NOAH representatives Katsuhiko Nakajima & Naomichi Marufuji. There will also be two huge Knockouts matches, as the recently returned Taya Valkyrie faces off against Rosemary, and Allie gets a Championship match against Ivelisse Velez. Having drawn the wrath of LAX, as a result of speaking out against their treatment of Gail Kim and her husband Robert Irvine, Allie will be up against it as she looks to secure her first Impact Knockouts Championship. Adding to her troubles will be what happened last week, when her boyfriend Braxton Sutter was taken “hostage” by LAX. Sutter has not been seen since, but Allie will have to put this to the back of her mind if she is to become the new Impact Knockouts Championship.

A “Hard Justice” special, highlights will be shown from throughout the night. Focus will be placed on the opening match, where an injured Johnny Impact defeated Homicide in a Street Fight, as well as the Main Event where Eddie Edwards defeated Ethan Carter to become the new Impact Grand Champion. Out of the opening credits, the cameras will pan around the building, as Jeremy Borash and Josh Matthews welcome viewers to Impact Wrestling, emanating from Chicago, Illinois. After the scan of the building is complete, the focus will switch to the announcer’s desk, where Jeremy Borash and Josh Matthews will be sat. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="3uhJE0y.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3uhJE0y.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CUndgB8.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CUndgB8.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Introducing the show, the commentators will talk about tonight - promising that Impact Wrestling will continue the momentum of last week’s show with another packed episode! This will lead into promotion of the huge Main Event, as Johnny Impact will go one on one with Moose - in an Impact World Championship Number One Contendership match. Explaining the fact that Alberto El Patron essentially set up this match himself, the commentators will talk about the Impact World Champion’s attempts to come between anybody who stands against him, and his LAX associates. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 10 minutes Transitioning into talk about another Impact Champion, the commentators will talk about Eddie Edwards’ title victory last week, as the new Impact Grand Champion makes his way to the ring. Proudly carrying his Championship, Eddie Edwards will take a microphone as he enters the ring. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="P25AlFe.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P25AlFe.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Addressing the Chicago audience, Eddie Edwards will look to kick the show off by hyping up the crowd. Edwards will then talk about becoming the new Impact Grand Champion, after he defeated Ethan Carter last week. Eddie Edwards will talk about how the Championship had previously been “held hostage” by Ethan Carter, vowing to be a “fighting Champion, a real Champion!” Having made this statement, Eddie Edwards will be cut off by the music of Alberto El Patron. Coming down to the ring, the Impact World Champion will take a microphone of his own. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Pp3sDMm.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Pp3sDMm.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Alberto El Patron will make his way into the ring, having taken issue with Eddie Edwards claiming that he is a “real Champion”. El Patron will say that there is only one real Champion in Impact Wrestling, and that is him. After Alberto El Patron runs Eddie Edwards down, the Impact Grand Champion will have one thing to say. Taking his Championship off his shoulder, Eddie Edwards will say that he isn’t interested in persuading Alberto El Patron that he’s wrong - he’d rather show him. El Patron will take a step back, laughing at the challenge from Eddie Edwards. Indicating that he isn’t in any state to compete, given the clothes he is wearing, Alberto El Patron will say that even if he wanted to lower himself to facing Edwards, he couldn’t. Instead, Eddie Edwards will have to prove himself against somebody else tonight, and that opponent has already been chosen. El Patron will say that the judges are ready, and the challenger is waiting. Alberto will then inform the confused Edwards that he will make his first Impact Grand Championship title defence tonight - against Homicide. Alberto El Patron will then leave the ring, informing Eddie Edwards that the match will take place straight away. Annoyed yet prepared, Eddie Edwards will remove his Championship and his t-shirt, ready to kick off the night’s action...</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">[impact Grand Championship]</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><img alt="P25AlFe.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P25AlFe.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="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Eddie Edwards © vs. Homicide</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> [Round #1] Coming out of the blocks in the opening round, Homicide will take advantage of Eddie Edwards’ lack of preparation by going for the kill early on. While Eddie Edwards will be able to weather the storm, the round will remain closely contested, with the winner being unclear as the 3 minutes come up.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Round #1 Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Homicide (split)</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> [Round #2] More straightforward, this round will see Eddie Edwards use his technical ability to control the 3 minutes, with Homicide growing more and more frustrated throughout. Eventually, Eddie Edwards will lock in an Ankle Lock, but Homicide will manage to escape. Getting in some offence before the end of the round, it would appear to be too little too late for Homicide.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Round #2 Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Eddie Edwards (unanimous)</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> [Round #3] Going into the final round, both competitors will tentatively approach each other. Once they get into it, Homicide will look to overwhelm Edwards with a series of strikes. This will allow him to take control in the beginning of the round, but he will rush to try and score the victory. Setting up for a “Gringo Killer”, Homicide will be rolled up by Eddie Edwards for a close fall. From here, Homicide will be shaken up and will be thrown off for the rest of the round. While Eddie Edwards will come close throughout the last minute of the match, it will go to the judges for the final decision.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Round #3 Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Eddie Edwards (split)</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Eddie Edwards</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Duration:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 3 x 3 minute rounds</div></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring / Ringside Duration: 5 minutes Having been given the Championship by the referee, Eddie Edwards will go over to the corner of the ring to celebrate. Clearly annoyed with the decision, Homicide will roll out of the ring, with his hands out in protest. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="P25AlFe.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P25AlFe.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> As Eddie Edwards parades his Championship around, it will become clear that there is some kind of incident going on at ringside. When the cameras become aware of what is happening, Homicide will be seen, heatedly discussing the decision with the judges. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Pointing aggressively towards the ring, Homicide will be aggrieved with the decision made at the conclusion of the match. Exiting the ring, Eddie Edwards will look to calm the situation, telling Homicide to back off. This will not work, and Homicide will grab the judge’s notes and tear them up. When the referee looks to move Homicide along, his fellow members of LAX will make their way from their entranceway, directly behind the judges position. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="MBBzVT1.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MBBzVT1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="hedifeB.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hedifeB.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FlrPi4u.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FlrPi4u.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Looking to hassle and generally bully the judges, LAX will cause chaos at ringside, with Ortiz and Santana throwing over the judge’s desk and pushing the judges out of their seats. Cutting an intimidating presence to the three non-wrestlers, LAX will make it clear that they are unhappy with the decision of the match. Eddie Edwards will stay at ringside, confronting Konnan to ask what this is all about. Taking a microphone, Konnan will furiously put the world to rights, claiming that anybody with two eyes can see that Homicide was the better man in the match. Konnan will suggest that there is only one reason that Eddie Edwards remained the Grand Champion, and that’s because this company - just like this country - is out to get them. Konnan will say that Homicide could have taken all three rounds of that match, because the winner wasn’t judged on what he did in the ring, but how his “pretty, white face” looks on the Impact Wrestling posters. Konnan will add that the “white mafia” might think that their decisions go unnoticed, but this time they have made a huge mistake. Konnan will say that LAX were ready to take over Impact Wrestling, but as of tonight it’s is their mission to “take Impact Wrestling down!” LAX will then leave the ringside area, with a frustrated Eddie Edwards unsure how to react. As they leave back through the crowd, Homicide will grab a camera, speaking down it and saying “Impact Wrestling… you just made the biggest mistake of your lives… hasta la muerte!”</div></blockquote> Discussing what just happened before the break, the commentators will be somewhat lost for words, following the ominous warning from Konnan and LAX. Attempting to move on, talk will turn to the Main Event of tonight’s show, with Jeremy Borash introducing an interview with Johnny Impact. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: Interview Area Duration: 2 minutes Going over to the interview area, Johnny Impact will be asked about his relationship with Moose, and how this may affect the Main Event.

Johnny Impact will admit that he didn’t want the match to take place tonight, pointing out that Moose insisted on it. Impact will say that he understands Moose’s motivation for wanting to earn a shot at the Impact World Championship, but also make it clear that he is nowhere near 100% going into a huge Number One Contendership match in the night’s Main Event.</div></blockquote> Video Package: Back to ringside, the commentators will introduce footage from last week, where Tyson Dux appeared to side with The Gatekeepers, as he helped them to victory against DJ Z & Dezmond Xavier. Confronted by Mike Bailey after the match, Tyson Dux brutally assaulted his fellow X Division Athlete. Hitting Mike Bailey with a Lariat to the back of the head, the change in attitude from Dux shocked everybody, and left Mike Bailey needing medical assistance.

The commentators will also talk about the severity of Mike Bailey’s injuries at the hands of Dux, reporting that Mike had concussion symptoms as a result of the attack. Using this move once again, Tyson Dux will not take long before he is ready to drop Lester with a Lariat to the back of the neck.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Tyson Dux</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Duration:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 2 minutes</div></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: Duration: Standing tall in the ring after the match, Tyson Dux will demand a microphone from ringside.

To the X Division guys and to anybody else who wants to step in my path.” Dux will pause, demanding the camera gets brought in. Dux will then add: “So listen closely… I am not a ‘Gatekeeper”... I am an Ass Kicker!” Tyson Dux will then drop the microphone on the ground, before leaving the ring.

Fearing the worst, she will say that she hopes that the threats they made to Gail Kim’s husband haven’t been carried out on Sutter. However, Allie will say that Braxton always told her that no matter what happens to him, she must keep fighting for the Knockouts and for her dream to become the Champion of her division. For that reason, Allie will say that she will fight Ivelisse Velez tonight and she will fight for everybody who “stands against LAX!”</div></blockquote> With Allie being not the only person to have made an enemy of LAX, the commentators will turn focus to the World Tag Team Championship, and the rematch that LAX are set to take tonight. Before that, recap footage will be introduced. Video Package: Footage will be shown from the moment that Marufuji & Nakajima became the new World Tag Team Champions. Becoming the first team to get one over on the dominant LAX, the Pro-Wrestling NOAH representatives have found themselves at the top of the hit list for the aggrieved group.

This will result in both team managing a number of near falls, with Homicide’s presence at ringside appearing to swing the match in the favour of LAX regaining the Championship. However, the Pro-Wrestling NOAH representatives will be able to fight back into the match, particularly once Homicide is warned over his continued involvement. While the match goes on, Homicide will contest every single decision, clearly still angry about what happened earlier in the night when he believed he was “robbed” by the judges in his Grand Championship match against Eddie Edwards.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This match would have done nothing to up the mood of LAX, as the World Tag Team Champions manage to retain their titles, with the victors managing to isolate Santana.

As the attack continues, with the members of LAX laying their boots into the spines of their rivals, Homicide will make it clear that the attack is revenge for what happened earlier tonight. With no sign of LAX letting up on the attack, Eddie Edwards will run down to the ring. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="P25AlFe.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/P25AlFe.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Managing to catch LAX off guard, Eddie Edwards will be able to take the fight to all three men, clearing the ring of them. He will then tend to the World Tag Team Champions, looking to get them back to their feet, expecting a second wave from LAX. With the three men now stood tall in the ring, Homicide will back off, leading Ortiz & Santana back through the LAX entranceway. Standing tall in the ring, Eddie Edwards, Marufuji & Nakajima will make it clear that they have no interest in backing down from a fight with LAX.</div></blockquote> <hr> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: Interview Area Duration: 2 minutes Heading over to the interview area to kick off the second hour of the show, Moose will be seen stood by - ready to promote the upcoming Main Event. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="N3labAa.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/N3labAa.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Responding to Johnny Impact’s words earlier, Moose will say that in this business nobody is ever at 100%.

Konnan will say that losing out because of the agenda against them is one thing, but losing outright is not acceptable. Saying that he can’t trust them to get a job done on their own, Konnan will tell the team that there can be no more mistakes tonight. Konnan will tell the members of LAX that tonight they “get serious” and nothing can go wrong. Turning to Diamante & Ivelisse Velez, Konnan will say that he trusts that his “girls” won’t let him down tonight. This will lead to Konnan walking out of the room. As the camera follows him exiting the room, he will turn back to Homicide telling him to “make sure he’s still breathing…” while pointing to a room that has the door slightly ajar.</div></blockquote> Coming back to the commentators, Jeremy Borash and Josh Matthews will speculate that Braxton Sutter is still with LAX. This will lead them to talk about the upcoming Impact Knockouts Championship match, before they introduce a cohesive video package of how we reached this point. Video Package: Heading back to the first Impact Wrestling of 2018, footage will show the retirement speech of then Knockouts Champion Gail Kim. Having declared her intention to retire at the end of 2017, Gail Kim was set to vacate the Championship, when she was confronted by LAX. Coerced into defending her Championship, under threat of violence to her husband Robert Irvine (who was at ringside to support his wife), Gail Kim was forced to face the debuting Ivelisse Velez. Given no time to prepare, Gail was defeated by Ivelisse, who became the new Knockouts Champion. While much of the Knockouts Division were scared into silence, one woman stood up for Gail Kim above all others. A fellow Canadian, Allie had often spoken of Gail Kim as an “inspiration”, and was disgusted by the actions of LAX. Standing up (and being taken down) when nobody else would, Allie was eventually joined by her boyfriend Braxton Sutter, who vowed to have her back every step of the way. However, Braxton’s involvement only made things worse for Allie, particularly after he was recently “abducted” by the renegade group. Having not seen her boyfriend for over a week, Allie will have a lot on her mind going into the already difficult challenge of Knockouts Champion Ivelisse Velez. (3 minutes) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 6 minutes Coming down to the ring for her Knockouts Championship match, Allie will not have the demeanor of a potential Championship contender. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GZlfmYj.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GZlfmYj.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> When Allie enters the ring, she will clearly be distracted by what has happened to her boyfriend Braxton Sutter. In the ring, the referee will ask Allie if she feels okay to compete, and she will nod her head sheepishly. Waiting for the Knockouts Champion to make her entrance, Allie will obviously be feeling the pressure of being alone against Ivelisse and her valet Diamante. These concerns will be compounded by the entrance of the LAX ladies, who will be joined by Konnan and Homicide. <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" /><img alt="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="DxdO1Fh.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DxdO1Fh.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FfulCsK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FfulCsK.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Confused in the ring, Allie will question why the leaders of LAX are out with Ivelisse Velez, and her questions will be answered by Konnan. Konnan will tell Allie not to worry herself with all these questions, because she’ll hurt her head. He will add that everything will come clear very soon. From here, Konnan will send Ivelisse Velez to the ring, and she will be joined on the outside by Diamante. Intimidated by the Knockouts Champion, Allie will call for the bell, but Konnan will tell her to hold on. Konnan will then gesture to the LAX entrance, adding “bring him out”. From the back, Ortiz & Santana will be seen holding Braxton Sutter by the arms, dragging him out to the ringside area. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="MBBzVT1.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MBBzVT1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="yYubj15.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yYubj15.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FlrPi4u.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FlrPi4u.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Positioning themselves at the bottom of the ramp, LAX will point Braxton Sutter towards the ring. Due to his condition, having seemingly been beaten and imprisoned all week, Allie will look close to tears as she sees her boyfriend for the first time in a week. While her first instinct will be to leave the ring and release him, Konnan will warn her not to take another step. As he says this, Homicide will pull a Steel Pipe out, and this will be enough to halt Allie. Distraught, Allie will ask LAX why they are doing this, beginning to cry in the ring. Konnan will tell her to be patient, smirking as he repeats that everything will come clear soon. Tied together with by his wrists and ankles, Braxton Sutter will attempt to get free. This will result in Ortiz & Santana yanking back on his arms, causing him discomfort. Shouting out to Konnan, Allie will tell him to get this over with, asking what they want from her. Instead of Konnan, Ivelisse Velez will answer this question with just two words. “Lay down.” Allie will take a moment to register what she has said, initially looking offended, before reluctantly accepting what has to be done. Braxton Sutter will call out for her not to do it, shaking his head despite his dire condition. Looking at Ivelisse Velez, then back to Braxton on the outside, Allie will sigh. She will then turn to the referee, absolutely devastated, and ask him to “ring the bell”.</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">[impact Knockouts Championship]</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><img alt="FfulCsK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FfulCsK.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="GZlfmYj.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GZlfmYj.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Ivelisse Velez © vs. Allie</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As soon as the bell rings, Ivelisse will point to the mat, demanding that Allie lays down.

When this doesn’t garner a response, James Storm will say that he knows that most the guys in the back don’t have two brain cells that they can rub together, but adds that if anybody has any information, then they’d better let him know.

Drake will tell Storm to think logically, asking him who had the most to gain from attacking James Storm. James Storm will begin to answer, saying “Etha…” before Eli Drake replies “wrong!” Continuing, Eli Drake will explain to a confused James Storm that only one man had something to gain from him losing to Ethan Carter in that match last month. He will say that the man who was responsible for the attack was the same man who went on to defeat Ethan Carter for the Grand Championship the very next week. James Storm will find this suggestion ridiculous, saying that Eli Drake looks like he is trying to deflect something. Brian Cage will look to step up to Storm, but Drake will tell him to back off. With Brian Cage taking a backseat, Eli Drake will explain that Impact Wrestling has become the lawless land and that means that nobody can be trusted. Drake will say that Eddie Edwards has always been jealous of James’ long, flowing hair, suggesting that the plan to attack him had probably been in place for months. When Brian Cage begins to smirk, James Storm will cotton on to the fact that Eli Drake is beginning to make light of the situation and tell him to keep it coming. He will then tell Eli that he needs it from the horse's mouth, asking “who was responsible for the attack on me?” However, as Eli Drake lifts the microphone to his mouth, beginning to say the name of Eddie Edwards, James Storm will hit him with a Last Call Superkick. Sending Eli Drake backwards, into the arms of Brian Cage, James Storm will roll out of the ring, himself laughing at what he had done to Eli Drake.

Promoting the Main Event, Borash and Matthews will introduce a video package which shows how both Johnny Impact and Moose came to earn their chance to become the Number One Contender. Video Package: Going back to footage from last year, Moose’s claim to the Championship will be highlighted by a series of momentum building victories post-Bound For Glory. This will of course be headlined by his huge victory over Lashley, in the dominant former Champions final night in the company. Meanwhile, Johnny Impact’s World Championship run was in full swing. Now back in 2018, the Main Event of the year’s first episode will be shown, as a clinical Alberto El Patron destroyed the arm of Johnny Impact - an injury which has held him back ever since.

Focus will also be placed on the injured arm of Johnny Impact, which was caused by Alberto El Patron, and has been aggravated week on week ever since. This will form the basis of much of the story in the match, with a clearly not 100% Johnny Impact having been forced into competing in this match. While this will slow him throughout, the former Impact World Champion will give a good account of himself against the strong and agile Moose.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Another thread of the match will be the strength of Moose’s desire to become the Number One Contender. This ruthlessness, against a man who is clearly injured, will highlight this feeling and at points (when Moose specifically targets the injured arm) move into morally questionable territory. This will be highlighted on commentary, with Josh Matthews pointing out that given what the Impact World Championship means to these men, he couldn’t possibly take any other approach. Due to this, Moose will be able to control the majority of the match, coming close following a Spear which Johnny Impact surprisingly kicks out of.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> From here, Johnny Impact will begin to come back into the match, and appear to mount an impressive comeback.

Now sat on the top turnbuckle, slumped forward, Johnny Impact will be dragged to the mat and hit with another Spear from Moose. Taking no chances, Moose will pick the seemingly unconscious Impact back up, hitting him with a Discus Lariat that takes him down.

Konnan will then signal to the back, quickly being joined by the members of LAX. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="MBBzVT1.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MBBzVT1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FlrPi4u.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FlrPi4u.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Entering the ring, the intentions of Homicide, Ortiz & Santana will quickly become clear. While Moose will be prepared for the three on one, the attack will quickly result in him being taken down. As it becomes apparent that Moose stands no chance of fight back against the odds, he will be joined in the struggle by Johnny Impact, who will sprint down to the ring. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="BHbkbJD.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BHbkbJD.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Initially relieving the pressure on Moose, Johnny Impact will soon find himself facing the same insurmountable odds that the new Number One Contender had. Eventually, the two men will be able to come together and fight off LAX, but suffer in the process. Standing tall in the ring, they will watch as LAX begin to retreat. Now putting over a serious pain in his arm, an injury which commentators will point out has plagued him for some weeks, Johnny Impact will take a microphone from ringside. Directing his message towards Konnan and LAX on the outside, Impact will say “you can bring two… you can bring three… you can bring four”, challenging every member of LAX to face him and Moose in a match later tonight. This will take Moose by surprise, but he will support the former Impact World Champion, adding “that unfinished business… how about we finish it tonight!” Responding to the challenge, Konnan will make it clear that LAX are more than up for the fight, before telling Impact and Moose that tonight they will learn to be careful what you wish for.</div></blockquote> Returning from the break, the commentators will recap the events of the show’s opening, promoting Moose & Johnny Impact vs. LAX in the night’s main event. They will then receive word that Johnny Impact is on his way to the medical room, and the Impact Wrestling cameras are on the scene. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In The Back Duration: 2 minutes Following Johnny Impact as he reaches the medical room, the Impact Wrestling cameras will pick up a conversation between Impact and his partner for tonight Moose, who will approach the former Champion. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="N3labAa.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/N3labAa.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="BHbkbJD.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BHbkbJD.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> While Johnny Impact will look to continue to strategize for the night’s match, Moose will be focussed on the severe amount of pain that his partner is clearly in. Moose will say that he learned how tough Johnny Impact is last week, but tonight they stand shoulder to shoulder. For that reason, he will tell Impact that he needs to get his shoulder checked out properly. If he is going to “go to war” with Johnny Impact tonight, Moose needs to know that the man by his side is fit to compete. Johnny Impact will agree to see the medical staff, but promise that no matter what, he will be by Moose’s side tonight.</div></blockquote> Returning to ringside, the commentators will discuss the cumulative effects of recent events on Johnny Impact’s arm, particularly during the Number One Contendership match last week, which he lost to Moose. Continuing to talk about last week, the commentators will discuss what happened to Allie, when she challenged for the Knockouts Championship. Confronted by LAX, Allie was made to lay down for Ivelisse Velez, as the group held her boyfriend Braxton Sutter hostage. This will lead to the introduction of an interview with Allie and Braxton Sutter, recorded immediately after the events of last week. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In The Back Duration: 2 minutes With a physical and mentally exhausted Braxton Sutter attempting to comfort his girlfriend, Allie will be asked where she sees herself going from here. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GZlfmYj.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GZlfmYj.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="yYubj15.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yYubj15.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Still in shock from what had just happened, Allie will be dumbfounded, saying that she has no idea where she goes from here. Allie will speak in a defeatist tone, suggesting that she is close to giving up on her dream. When Allie says that “maybe I don’t belong here…”, Sutter will disagree. Braxton will tell Allie that she is the strongest person he has ever met, and he knows that she has it in her to become the Impact Knockouts Champion. Braxton Sutter will say that she hasn’t been through everything that she has been through, just to give up now. He will then hug his distraught girlfriend, leading her away from the Impact Wrestling cameras.</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="jp183dw.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jp183dw.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pWvLUFZ.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pWvLUFZ.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="0rrQ9s4.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0rrQ9s4.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="WSfKawx.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WSfKawx.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="NkeGVrt.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NkeGVrt.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="rfLNq7P.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rfLNq7P.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Dezmond Xavier, DJ Z & Matt Sydal vs. The B.T.C</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Coming into the match, The B.T.C’s confidence will shine through, and they will particularly target the X Division Champion Matt Sydal.

Answered by Brian Cage & Eli Drake, the pair suggested that Eddie Edwards was the only person with anything gain from the attack, while making light of the situation. This led James Storm to believe the two of them were behind the assault, and resulted in him hitting Eli Drake will a Last Call Superkick.

But Eli Drake will say that he is just fine with that, and in the “lawless land of Impact Wrestling” he’s taking it upon himself to call James Storm out. He will tell James Storm to be in the ring at the top of the hour, if he has the decency to face him like a man.</div></blockquote> Returning from another break, the commentators will talk about the recent behavioural changes seen in Garza Jr., particularly as it relates to his competitive rivalry with the X Division Champion, Matt Sydal.

Garza will point out that being far away from his friends, his family and his own wrestling culture has gotten on top of him, and has resulted in his out of character behaviour. Garza Jr. will then vow to remain focussed, saying that he will not give up on his dream, promising to one day reach the summit of the Impact Wrestling X Division.</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="6GkFnpB.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6GkFnpB.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="H6fIcLI.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/H6fIcLI.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="fkzYygS.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/fkzYygS.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GR7Udwc.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GR7Udwc.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Billy Carr & Dan Barry vs. oVe</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Promoted as a local team during their entrance, Carr & Barry will look to get the fans of their side throughout the match, but find themselves struggling to compete with Dave and Jake Crist.

Directing traffic, Eli Drake will appear to have an idea, as Brian Cage sets the Steps up in the corner of the ring.

This will anger Sienna, who will become more brutal in her destruction of the opponent. Finishing the match, Sienna will hit her opponent with a Cut-Throat Suplex.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Winner:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Sienna</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Duration:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 4 minutes</div></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 2 minutes Following the match, as her arm is raised in the ring, Sienna will be demand a microphone. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1ejUfjv.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1ejUfjv.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Cutting an aggressive promo, Sienna will let out her frustrations by claiming that she doesn’t need anybody, calling herself “The Queen of The Knockouts”. </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: LAX “Clubhouse” Duration: 2 minutes Heading over to the private location of LAX, Konnan will be seen addressing Homicide, Ortiz & Santana. <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" /><img alt="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MBBzVT1.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MBBzVT1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FlrPi4u.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FlrPi4u.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Looking to fire the three men up, Konnan will take great delight in the fact that Moose will have to face all three of them alone, because of what they did to Johnny Impact. Konnan will say that tonight is the perfect stage for them, making their mission very clear. Coming in close to the three men, Konnan will say that all they have to do tonight, is make sure that when they’re done, Moose will only be recognisable by his dental records.</div></blockquote> Video Package: Returning from the break, footage will be shown from earlier in the night, where James Storm was jumped by Eli Drake and Brian Cage. While James Storm was saved from further damage by Eddie Edwards, and then the World Tag Team Champions, he was still hurt fairly badly in the assault. Coming out of the package, the commentators will talk about the attack, suggesting that the tactics used by Brian Cage and Eli Drake earlier were also those used in the original attack. They will then send over to the back, where James Storm has been approached by the Impact Wrestling cameras.

Storm will say that tonight confirmed beyond all doubt that they were responsible for the first attack, and promise to make them pay for it. As he says this, Ethan Carter will walk into the shot. <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> With an arrogant smirk across his face, Ethan Carter will just look at James Storm. Still angry, James Storm will ask him what the hell he wants, but Ethan Carter will say “nothing”. Ethan Carter will then turn away, going to leave the room, turning back to say “it’s funny you know, what happens when you make powerful enemies…”</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 2 minutes Coming back to the ring, Allie will make her entrance, taking a microphone from ringside in the process. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GZlfmYj.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GZlfmYj.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Talking about the events of recent weeks, Allie will address the “mental anguish” that she has suffered as a result of the actions of LAX. She will however say that, with the support of her boyfriend Braxton Sutter, she has decided that she will not give up. Allie will say that two weeks ago, LAX tried to break her - and she thought they had - but she is still standing here tonight. She will say that as long as she is standing in an Impact Wrestling ring, then she is ready to call out Ivelisse Velez. However, instead of Ivelisse Velez, Allie will be met by the entrance of Diamante...</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GZlfmYj.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GZlfmYj.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="DxdO1Fh.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DxdO1Fh.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Allie vs. Diamante</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Going straight after Diamante, an aggressive Allie will quickly take the front foot in the match, looking to take out some of her frustrations on the woman who has become the right-hand woman of the Impact Knockouts Champion recently. While she will be able to do this, Allie’s cathartic experience will be cut short when Ivelisse Velez comes out.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="FfulCsK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FfulCsK.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Taking Allie out from behind, Ivelisse Velez will be able lay into her rival, as Diamante rolls out of the ring.

Braxton Sutter will continue to berate Velez, until the LAX member has had enough. Taking a step back, Ivelisse will slap Sutter across the face, further enraging Allie’s boyfriend. However, before Braxton Sutter can react to the slap, he will be taken out with a low blow from behind by Diamante. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="DxdO1Fh.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DxdO1Fh.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> This will lead to the LAX Ladies leaving the ring, heading back from where they came.

Therefore, Alberto El Patron will be ready to pile on the misery, informing Konnan and LAX that he is joining them in the match against Moose up next...</div></blockquote> Video Package: Footage will be shown, recapping the events of the night so far. While Johnny Impact appeared ready to fight all of LAX, he was earlier told that he would be unable to compete. As a result, Moose was informed he would be forced to face LAX alone! (2 minutes) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 4 minutes Making his entrance ahead of the “stacked odds” Main Event, Moose will come down to the ring, clearly uncertain about the unprecedented task that will face him up next. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="N3labAa.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/N3labAa.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Once in the ring, Moose will stand his ground, presenting a stoic demeanor. Attempting to make it appear as if he is ready for the fight, Moose will signal that he wants LAX to come out right now. Wasting no time, LAX will make their way out from their entranceway. <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" /><img alt="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MBBzVT1.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MBBzVT1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FlrPi4u.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FlrPi4u.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Slowly making their way through the crowd, LAX will not enter the ring, instead waiting for the appearance of Alberto El Patron. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Pp3sDMm.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Pp3sDMm.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> With an arrogant smirk on his face, Alberto will make his way down the ramp. Once at the bottom, he will take a microphone, before entering the ring at the same time as the members of LAX. When they enter the ring, the four men (with Konnan remaining on the outside) will surround Moose in the ring. Despite Moose trying to appear as if he is ready for the four men, he will be severely outnumbered. Taking a microphone, Alberto El Patron will tell Moose that he isn’t ready for what they have in store for him tonight, saying that he made huge mistake accepting the challenge of LAX. Alberto El Patron will say that if Johnny Impact was able to compete, they would be all too happy to kick his ass too. However, Johnny Impact can’t compete, and El Patron will take delighting in telling Moose that he is here all alone, and there is nothing he can do to change that. It will be at this moment, that the music of Eddie Edwards begins to play. Joined by Naomichi Marufuji and Katsuhiko Nakajima, the trio who helped James Storm earlier in the night, will once again come to the rescue.<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="cfeV8xl.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cfeV8xl.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="m2rI1sl.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/m2rI1sl.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2ukm9PO.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2ukm9PO.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> With a microphone in his hand, Eddie Edwards will say that he goes way back with Moose, and he isn’t going to let the Main Event go down like this. Eddie Edwards will add that he has travelled the world with Moose, and throughout their travels they have never come across anybody like the Impact World Tag Team Champions. Eddie will then turn to the two men, nodding his head. At this point, the three men will run to the ring, redressing the balance for the Main Event.</div></blockquote> <div style=" border: 4px solid blue";"><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Pp3sDMm.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Pp3sDMm.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1UMBg30.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1UMBg30.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MBBzVT1.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MBBzVT1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="FlrPi4u.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FlrPi4u.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="cfeV8xl.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cfeV8xl.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" /><img alt="m2rI1sl.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/m2rI1sl.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2ukm9PO.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2ukm9PO.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Alberto El Patron & LAX vs. Eddie Edwards, Moose, Marufuji & Nakajima</div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Having had their tactic go against them, Alberto & LAX will be thrown off guard in the early moments of the match. As a result, Moose and the three men supporting him will enjoy a good start to the contest. However, as the match goes, the cohesion between LAX will prove vital. Managing to expertly control proceedings, the trio will set the tempo of the contest, with Alberto entering the ring occasionally to add his own offence to the mix. While this will be the general pace of the match, the ending will see this fall apart completely, as the match breaks down into an all out brawl.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This chaos will see Alberto El Patron’s intelligence come into play, as he looks to remove himself from the brawl undetected. While this will allow Moose to help clear the ring of the members of LAX, he will fail to spot Alberto El Patron on the outside. Picking his moment, Alberto El Patron will return to the ring, hitting Moose with a Backstabber. With a disoriented Moose returning to his knees following the move, he will be hit with a vicious Kick to the head from his opponent, who will cover him for the victory.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Winners:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Alberto El Patron & LAX</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Duration:</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 14 minutes</div></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44295" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Location: In-Ring Duration: 3 minutes Following the eight man Main Event, and the chaotic scene at ringside, just one man will be left standing - the Impact World Champion, Alberto El Patron. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Pp3sDMm.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Pp3sDMm.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Looking down on his Number One Contender, Alberto El Patron will stand over the man he had just pinned. Having made his dominance clear, the power of El Patron, and the support network which surrounds him will be highlighted on commentary. They will put over the size of the task that lays ahead for Moose, with Borash suggest that “if anybody can topple Alberto El Patron, it’s that man”. Josh Matthews will be less optimistic, saying that he’s “not sure there is a man in this business” who can jump through the amount of hoops that are placed in the way of Alberto’s challengers. The show will then be signed off on by the commentary team, as Alberto El Patron climbs to the second rope, raising the Impact World Championship in the air.</div></blockquote>
