After the first dark match is shown, we go backstage to see
Moose talking smack about how he will be the winner of tonight's
four-way match. This match took place at 2300 Arena through
House of Hardcore.
Later tonight, newly crowned Impact World Champion Tessa
Blanchard will do a sit-down interview. Callis still cannot
believe that she won the match this past Sunday. He is looking
forward to what she has to say. Up next, they show some video
footage from Ace Austin (c) vs. Trey for the X-Division
Championship match. Austin retained the title.
After, we see Austin backstage speaking to someone on the phone.
He gets off the phone and asks if Impact is expecting a comment
from him. He puts his playing card in his mouth and walks away.
Next, a recap from oVe vs. Blanchard, Willie Mack, and Rich
Swann from Bash at the Brewery is shown. Swann suffered an ankle
injury during that match. This made their match the next night
at Hard To Kill for the Impact Tag Team Championships difficult
to obtain. The North took every cheap shot they could to retain
the titles, which they did. Footage from that match is shown.
Backstage (after), Mack tells Swann he feels like a failure for
losing. Swann tells him to stop thinking like that-he is the man
and is the "best in this business." Swann knows that he and Mack
will win those titles off The North soon.
Eddie Edwards is glad that he retained his "Call Your Shot"
Trophy. For tonight's four-way, he knows that he'll win because
luck is on his side. Footage of his match with Michael Elgin for
the trophy from Sunday is shown.
Next, Mathews and Callis show exclusive footage of Elgin in
Japan. He left for Japan right after Hard To Kill.
After, we see footage from Rob Van Dam's match against Brian
Cage, then Daga. Cage suffered an injury during his match with
RVD, which is why Daga stepped in afterward. Now at a hotel, we
are about to see RVD and Katie Forbes' "celebration" (and no,
this is not the live sex celebration that Lita and Edge had).
Back from the break, we see footage of Ken Shamrock and Madman
Fulton's match. Shamrock won the match via submission.
After, the Impact Plus Moment of the Week is shown. It's Kurt
Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett.
Next, the second dark match from Hard To Kill is shown!
Joey Ryan vs. Johnny Swinger
Ryan takes out his baby oil and pours it down his crotch before
the bell rings. Bell rings, Ryan tells Swinger to "touch it."
The fans start chanting it. Swinger puts Ryan in an arm lock.
Ryan reverses it, tries to get Swinger to touch this dong.
Swinger moves his hand away in time. Swinger psyches the fans
and Ryan by pretending to touch it, but goes for a strike
instead. Swinger sends Ryan to the turnbuckle. Swinger goes for
a foot chokehold. The referee tells Swinger to break it up. Ryan
fires back with a dropkick. Swinger with a roll-up pin puts his
feet on the bottom rope, the referee catches it. Ryan gets
Swinger to touch his dong! Ryan's d**k flip is so powerful, that
it knocks out both Swinger and the referee. Ryan with the Sweet
Tooth Music, cover on Swinger, Ryan wins the match!
Winner: Joey Ryan
After, we see the Impact Knockouts Championship match (from Hard
To Kill) between Taya Valkyrie (c), Jordynne Grace, and ODB.
Valkyrie retained the title.
Fans now get to see the historic match that went down between
former Impact World Champion Sami Callihan and Blanchard. Both
opponents went back and forth, pulling out all their best moves.
Blanchard shocked the world after she became the first female to
win the Impact World Championship.
Up next, the four-way match from the 2300 Arena.

After the match, we get to see never before seen footage of
Blanchard after she won the Impact World Championship. Her
family joins her in the ring and the Impact locker room hugs her
as she walks up to the ramp. Next, Blanchard will join Mathews
in a sit-down interview.
The show concludes with Blanchard's interview. Mathews asks
Blanchard how she is feeling. She tells him that she feels on
top of the world. Mathews asks her about oVe and if she feels
vanquished with them all. She says no. She believes there will
be some type of retaliation from them. For right now, she is
focused on setting more goals and achieving them, especially now
that she is a walking target. During their interview, Callihan
interrupts by showing up on the screen. Callihan says that he is
the only history-maker in Impact. He says that Blanchard may be
the champion the fans and Impact want, but he is the champion
they all need. The camera zooms back. It looks like he is in the
back of the control center! Blanchard goes looking for him.
Callihan fools her and says that he isn't going to make it that
easy for her. He warns her that he will show up unannounced
wherever and whenever he wants.
That concludes tonight's show. Thanks for watching!
