AVERAGE Number One Contenders Knockouts Battle Royal

This was a fun battle royale match. Obviously nothing great, but battle royales never are. The final four were Savannah Evans, Jody Threat, Jessicka and KiLynn King. As the hosses of the match are eliminated, we’re down to Jody against KiLynn, the two who are currently having issues, over King accusing Jody of attacking Wilde. We then get the spot where Alisha comes out from under the ring, sneaks up and gets the eliminations. Alisha Edwards wins the battle royale. Interesting choice to say the least. Not a big fan of the finish, but it works with Alisha’s character, so it’s acceptable.

Result: Alisha Edwards wins

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 2.50 Stars

Alex Shelley and Josh Alexander finally have some tension between them, and it’s built upon well in the following segment. The Rascalz also show up, and act like numpties. Sabin challenges Wentz for a match, he seemingly accepts. Good backstage segment, did what it meant to do.

Eddie and Alisha embrace backstage. Decent promo from Alisha, built the Kazarian feud, while also mentioning Trinity in the end. Good stuff.

SQUASH: Crazzy Steve vs Mike Bailey

Steve immediately gets himself DQ’d, as he won’t let go of Mike Bailey’s eyes.

Result: Mike Bailey by Disqualification

Steve then tries gouging Bailey’s eyes out with a fork. Taurus tries confronting him, but the Steve goes for his eyes. Security then have to stop Steve, who had completely snapped. This match/angle, combined with Steve getting an amazing new mask for his entrance, have really got me invested in this angle. This has the potential to be the best storyline in the company if handled right.

Moose and Myers then rightfully ditch Bully Ray, after he abandoned them at Emergence. This does leave the viewer questioning the state of their group text which they mentioned last week.

We then get Bully Ray telling PCO that he set him on fire because he cared about him. I still don’t really care that much about this storyline, but this is a step in the right direction.

GOOD Kon vs Eric Young

Eric Young does well as the underdog here, with an early flurry of offence that was quite enjoyable. He also sells great for Kon, with Young flying over the top rope for him at one point, in a spot I really enjoyed. Kon comes out’ve this looking great, kicking out’ve two of EY’s signature moves (Death Valley Driver and Elbow Drop). This match did its job well, in having the crowd rally behind the hometown hero against a the monster heel.

Result: Eric Young by Pinfall via. Piledriver

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.00 Stars

After Lio cuts a decent promo building the Sabin feud, KUSHIDA comes in at the end (Ultimate X still draped around his waist), and he says “Victory Road”, finally confirming a date for when we’re getting that match.

GOOD Zachary Wentz vs Chris Sabin

Unsurprisingly, these two men work at a good capacity here, with the match ramping up as it goes on. We get a shenanigan-involved ending, which helps protect the Rascalz somewhat, as they also attack Sabin after the bell.

Result: Chris Sabin by Pinfall via Cradle Shock

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.25 Stars

We cut to the ABC backstage, who make their intentions clear to take their belts off the Rascalz. Then the Good Hands tell them that they’re not finished with them. The Good Hands refuse to make any moves now, and say that they’ll get the ABC at some point. Confused as to why they’re continuing this, but it gives the Good Hands something to do, so I don’t mind.

Santino backstage next, announces Motor City Machine Guns vs The Rascalz for Victory Road ( 100% Banger), and we also get Subculture vs Swann & Callihan confirmed for next week (also will be a banger). JOYA are then denied a title shot, and are told that they need to continue their winning streak before they can do so. Fun backstage angle, enjoyed all the announcements.

GREAT Kenny King/Tommy Dreamer Promo

I really want to be invested in this feud, I really do. Because this promo has gave me faith that it could be genuinely really good. Dreamer cuts an emotional promo to the DMC (DEE EM CEE) Kenny King, with it ending in a challenge of Title vs Career, surprisingly good stuff.

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.50 Stars

They then run down the match card for Victory Road, with the highlight, and presumably main event, Steve Maclin vs Josh Alexander being announced. It’s about time that we got this match, and I couldn’t be more hyped.

GREAT SANADA, Frankie Kazarian and Jake Something vs Eddie Edwards, Moose and Brian Myers

Jake Something was the highlight of this match for me, he got some great offence in, and was overall just a very enjoyable watch, with his fantastic power moves. That being said, everyone else in this match near-enough equally impressed, with Eddie and Kaz having some great exchanges throughout for example. Something gets the win for his team, as he destroys Myers with an Into the Void.

Result: Jake Something by Pinfall via. Into the Void

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.50 Stars

Overall…

Perfectly fine show this week. The match quality was good, with Sabin vs Wentz and the six-man tag impressing. The idea to have Alisha win the battle royal was definitely an interesting one, but thankfully we have Jordynne returning, so we don’t have to worry that much about the Knockouts match quality at Victory Road. The Crazzy Steve angle was a very interesting watch, and has me excited for where the stories going to go. I also really liked the stage this week, obviously it didn’t work great with the battle royale, but otherwise, it was just visually appealing to look at. The Tommy Dreamer and The DMC (DEE EM CEE) Kenny King promo was surprisingly great, and made me optimistic that the match May actually be good.

GREAT No DQ: Eric Young vs Deaner

Some unique blue lighting for the show tonight, not sure how I feel about it, too dark for me. That being said, I do like the stage design however, looks nice. The match itself was an unsurprisingly violent match, to cap off an incredibly violent feud. A wide assortment of weapons are used, with my personal highlight being the staple gun, which Deaner gruesomely shoots between EY’s fingers and in his armpit. The crowd are active throughout this match, with them chanting “You still suck” at Deaner, after he smashes EY round the head with a chair, whilst a trashcan is over his head. I really enjoyed this match, Deaner stood his own, and the two had a really entertaining match. The use of weapons was well done, and we got multiple entertaining spots out’ve it. With the Toronto crowd firmly behind Young, it added tension to the match, and the loud crowd reactions really got me into it. The finish comes after EY ends up hitting both Kon & Deaner simultaneously (yes simultaneously, genuinely crazy feat of strength) with a DVD onto the barbed wire board, which he follows by piledriving Deaner onto the barbed wire board. Great finish to a great match. Eric Young finally vanquishes his own creation.

Result: Eric Young by Pinfall via. Piledriver

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.75 Stars

Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura are interviewed next. Gia asks Joe about how this team came about, and Joe talks about how he can’t stay a solo artist his whole life. Yuya then snatches the mic out’ve Gia’s hand and asks “CAN I GET A JOYA!”, Gia then complies. I know there’s people who won’t like this, but I was entertained, and I really want this team to go far.

Next we see Taylor Wilde hurt backstage, with her Coven partner, KiLynn King accusing Jody Threat of being the attacker. King is obviously frustrated, as her tag title match is up next, but Santino somewhat eases her concerns, as she still gets to be in the match, but with Jody Threat as her partner.

GOOD Knockouts Tag Team Title: MK Ultra vs Death Dollz vs Gisele Shaw and Savannahs Evans vs Jody Threat and KiLynn King

This was an enjoyable match, with the two main storylines/arks of the match being Jody and King not getting along, and the Death Dollz having the best tag team psychology. Both storylines were presented well and played out well. The match picks up more, and gets more chaotic as it goes on, with MK Ultra securing the win, by simultaneously dumping Rush on the head.

Result: MK Ultra by Pinfall

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.00 Stars

Enjoyable Swinger interview before the match, not that much to comment on.

AVERAGE Digital Media Title: Johnny Swinger vs Kenny King

This is the most competitive Johnny Swinger match you’ll ever see, with Swinger outsmarting King at nearly every turn early on. At one moment, we get a glimmer of hope that the Swingman may have done it, as Heath delivers a wake up call to King, behind the referees back. Sadly, he was unsuccesful, and was put down quickly after with a royal flush. Fun match, obviously nothing great, but it was fun.

Result: Kenny King by Pinfall via. Royal Flush

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 2.50 Stars

King’s assault on Swinger after the match is broken up by a crowd of road agents and referees. One of the people protecting Swinger is Tommy Dreamer, who is later attacked by King, setting up that rivalry. I’ve never been more uninterested in a potential future match.

Entertaining promo from Alexander and Time Machine next. Good fun, and nice build to the eight man tag.

MUST WATCH Tag Team Title: Subculture vs The Rascalz

This match was a beautiful romance of British and X-Division style wrestling. They built up this match well, as it ends up picking up in an incredible manor, and I get to witness some of the best tag team sequences I’ve ever seen. I was going to deduct this 0.25 stars for the interference of the Good Hands and the ABC, but they make up for this with the awesome moment of Dani Luna diving onto the Good Hands. This amazing tag match is capped of with a title change, as the Rascalz are able to take the win with a nasty foot stomp/burning hammer combination.

Result: The Rascalz by Pinfall via Foot stomp/burning hammer combination

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 4.75 Stars

We then get a promo from the heel team in the eight man tag. I enjoyed this one a lot more, as Bully embraces Lio, and officially lets him join their group text. We also see Lio mention PCO, which is good continuity, and adds some tension between the heels for later on.

Back to School Match: Frankie Kazarian vs Eddie Edwards

I always like when Impact do cinematic segments/matches and this is no exception. This was really interesting. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of the match move-wise, I really liked the dynamic they had here. Eddie repeatedly reminded Kaz of his accomplished, and called Kaz a failure to his mentor. I don’t think I can rate this, due to it being cinematic, but I liked what they tried here.

Result: Eddie Edwards by Pinfall via Boston Knee Party

This segment ends with Eddie smashing Kaz over the head, with a picture of Kowalski. They then situate the camera similar to Walter White’s death scene, with Kaz laying down helpless next to the picture of his trainer. Kaz is now at his lowest point, it’ll be interesting to see where he goes from here.

AMAZING SANADA vs Jake Something

I was highly anticipating this match, and it lived up to all my expectations. SANADA spent most of the match trying to work over the bigger man, as Something just used his power advantage to dominate at times. This match go “this is awesome” chants, which is a good representative of how good the match was. Even in defeat, Something had a great performance, that really made me believe that he could be main eventing for Impact later on down the line.

Result: SANADA by Pinfall via. Deadfall

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 4.25 Stars

The two men shake hands after the match, which was understandable, as Something took SANADA to the limit.

GREAT Brian Myers, Bully Ray, Moose and Lio Rush vs Josh Alexander and Time Machine

This tag match was simply hectic. Every man got a good amount of stuff in as things got going. Canada is the best place for Alexander’s first match back (in an Impact ring), as the crowd were raucous for him, and most of the moves he did. As soon as the referee is assassinated by Brian Myers, the chaos goes up by tenfold, as with no tag rules, it’s every man for themselves, with Sabin crashing through a table soon after the ref is taken out. This is soon followed by KUSHIDA going through a table, thanks to a final hour from Rush. Two awesome spots back-to-back. As Bully looks to put Shelley through one next, the lights go out, and PCO shows up, to a big ovation. Bully and the Most Professional Wrestling Gods triple powerbomb PCO through the table, but he immediately gets up as Hannifan shouts “HES ALIVE!” in a funny nod to Frankenstein. As PCO looks to chase away Bully Ray again, STEVE MACLIN RETURNS. He takes out PCO and stares down Josh Alexander, teasing the match we never got. The two then brawl, until they’re separated by security. Josh then starts selling an arm injury, which he got from Maclin. This is soon followed by Shelley leaving the match after he miscommunicates with Josh, finally adding some much needed tension to their future affair (hopefully we get Shelley vs Alexander vs Maclin in the main event of Bound For Glory). As Shelley leaves, Moose take advantage and spears Alexander for the win.

Result: Moose by Pinfall via. Spear

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.50 Stars

This match did really well in building towards the future matches between Alexander, Shelley and Maclin, along with building towards Rush vs Sabin/KUSHIDA and PCO vs Bully. Really fun match aswell.

I always forget to mention this in the reviews, but Trinity’s hair is incredible. She’s made it look like the Canadian flag, which looks really nice.

Before the main event, we’re greeted with the announcement that Gail Kim will be the special guest commentator for tonight.

AMAZING Knockouts World Title: Trinity vs Deonna Purrazzo

Quite the opposite of the Subculture match. A bombastic main event that gets you interested with big moves right away. Both women gave it their all here, with some nasty offence being shown throughout (with one of the best spots being Deonna spiking Trinity’s head into the floor early on). Trinity shown some good psychology here, with some arm selling stopping a starstruck at one point, and forcing her to use her legs for the starstruck in the finish. Amazing match, love seeing the knockouts main event.

Result: Trinity by Submission via. Starstruck

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 4.25 Stars

The show then ends with the announcement of Will Ospreay at Bound For Glory, which is pretty awesome. Hopefully we get that match against Mike Bailey that was supposed to happen at the first Multiverse United. That being said, Rich Swann would also be a pretty cool opponent.

Overall…

It was a good PPV for Impact Wrestling, as the Canadian crowd came through and made it a night to remember. While Trinity and Deonna impressed in the main event, I would have to give match of the night to Subculture vs The Rascalz, as they tore the house down. The return of Steve Maclin was also one to remember, and the revelation that he may actually be facing Alexander down the line, must be relieving to Impact Wrestling fans. Furthermore, We were treated to a very interesting match between Kazarian and Eddie Edwards, which was another enjoyable showcase of how good Impact can be when they use the cinematic format. The eight-man tag and opener were both good, chaotic fun, which made a good use of weapons, with EY finally putting the Design to rest in the opener. SANADA vs Jake Something was also a highlight, which did exactly what it intended to do, in showcasing the talents of both men. Great show overall, rarely any misses on this event.

GOOD Zachary Wentz vs Chris Bey

In his first match back in Impact, Zachary Wentz puts on a good opener against, one half of the tag team champions, Chris Bey. While you’d expect this to be a fast-paced X-Division opener, which it was partly, the two men also shown off some more well-rounded wrestling instead, which was quite enjoyable. Wentz wins with a nasty headlock DDT, which is LA Knight’s finisher for those unaware. Bey sells it incredible and made the move look very dangerous (something I wish people would do for LA Knight aswell). Trey Miguel distracted the referee, by attacking Ace Austin at ringside, which let Wentz cheat, to aid him for the win.

Result: Zachary Wentz by Pinfall via Headlock DDT

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.25 Stars

As the head backstage the Rascalz ask Director Of Authority, Santino Marella, for a tag title match, and Santino turns it down, which is followed by the Rascalz telling Santino that he’ll regret it. I really don’t want the Rascalz to be associated in the Santino/Dango storyline if that’s where they’re planning to go. I just feel like there’s better potential direction for them.

Very good video package to build towards Aldis vs Shelley, which I quite liked as I feel like the World title matches need hype like this, as these video packages make them feel like a big deal.

GREAT Mike Bailey vs Kevin Knight

The crowd were loud for this match, which you love to see. The crowd erupt when Speedball comes out, which is lovely to see. Really hope Speedball makes a main event push soon, he’s really gotten over, and he’s proven he can hang with the best. Speedball has proven that he cannot have a bad match, and he’s further proven it here, as he has a really entertaining, fast-paced match with Knight. This is the best build we’ve gotta to the Ultimate X match, and has really made me excited for it. Kevin Knight’s athleticism is crazy, and they really do a good job showing it off here (Knight hurricanrana’s Bailey off the second rope and it looks majestic). After some more, simply breathtaking, fast-paced action Mike Bailey gets the win with the Ultimo Weapon, in a match that shown how great Kevin Knight can be, and got me really hyped for the Ultimate X match.

Result: Mike Bailey by Pinfall via Ultimo Weapon

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.75 Stars

Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly have a backstage video, where they challenge The Coven for the Knockouts Tag Titles, in a match I’m very excited for. They also wear the chains, which is a very good touch.

In Joe Hendry’s pre-match promo, he brings up the stripper Kenny video, and then follows it with his usual routine, before introducing Yuya Uemura.

AVERAGE Joe Hendry & Yuya Uemura vs Kenny King & Sheldon Jean

As King does his entrance, the crowd chant for him to take his jacket off, purposefully zipping it up all the way (he refuses to take it off due to the stripper accusations). The crowd continues to be great, as they constantly chant “Take it off” whenever Kenny is on the offensive. Hendry, being the lovable guy that he is eventually takes the jacket off King, and gets the crowd to chant “stripper Kenny” at him. King, feeling violated, runs to the back, leaving his protégé stranded, letting Hendry deliver the standing ovation for the win. Obviously not a great match by any means, but a fun crowd pleaser that planted the seeds for Jean betraying King.

Result: Joe Hendry by Pinfall via Standing Ovation

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 2.50 Stars

We get another promo package, with Lio Rush cutting a great promo, talking about how he’s not about the nostalgia and how he’s gonna dethrone Sabin for the prestigious X-Division Championship. Really like how he highlighted how prestigious the belt is. Adds to the importance of the match.

We then cut to a good backstage interview from Sabin, as he tells Lio that he is the final boss and he’s not gonna be dethroned at Slammiversary.

GREAT Moose & Brian Myers vs Rich Swann & Sami Callihan

This is a good tag match here. Fast paced action early on before they break, until we’re faced with a beatdown on Swann, which leads to a very inventive hot tag, where Swann jumps out’ve a roll up to get it. This match is great build for the fatal four way tag, as both teams take each other to the limit, with Swann & Callihan seemingly having it won twice. Moose has to resort to a low blow to help him get the win, which gives Moose & Myers some needed momentum for Saturday, as they needed to bounce back from the loss to ABC in Australia.

Results: Moose by Pinfall via Spear

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.50 Stars

We then get Subculture cutting a quick promo, further hyping up the fatal four tag, as they claim that they are gonna win the belts for all the different subcultures. Fine promo, doesn’t really add excitement for the fatal four way tag, but it was alright.

Alan Angels cuts a great promo about how he plans to spread his wings like an Angel would, and how he’s gonna make his mark at Slammiversary. Good build for the Ultimate X match, can’t wait to see Angels finally showcase more of his X-Division skills.

GREAT Deonna Purrazzo vs Jody Threat

On paper, this match is very interesting the champion, Deonna Purrazzo, against, the unbeaten, Jody Threat. Jody gets some great frenzy-like offence in, before Deonna puts a stop to it with a nasty arm breaker. Deonna, who is known for her great technical wrestling, adds a great element to the match, as she constantly targets the injured left arm of Jody Threat. I really liked Threat’s spurts of offence throughout the match, as her style is very entertaining when she’s an underdog trying to get back into the fight. Deonna locks in a nasty Fujiwara variation for the win, after a really good competitive match, that shown that Jody can hang with the top knockouts.

Result: Deonna Purrazzo by Submission

Bailey Higham WR Star Rating – 3.75 Stars

After the match, a massive, chaotic brawl ensues with all of the knockouts involved in storylines for Slammiversary. Near the end of the brawl, Trinity comes out to aid the faces. Deonna and Trinity do the both people holding the title spot, which leads to them finally fighting each other, giving the main event some much needed aggression.

A strong go-home show for Impact, with one of the best crowds they’ve had all year. Mike Bailey vs Kevin Knight and the main event really stole the show for me, and gave us a really solid night of in-ring action. With both the tag matches also being a lot of fun, and are definitely worth giving a watch for some enjoyable wrestling (King/Jean vs Yuya/Hendry being more comedy focused, while Sami/Swann vs Moose/Myers just having some good pro wrestling). All of the Slammiversary matches which I felt needed more/better build (Ultimate X, four way tag, Lio vs Sabin, Trinity vs Deonna), all got the build that was necessary for them and the storylines were well-progressed. Every match had a purpose, and nothing really felt out’ve place. This built the hype for Slammiversary now, and has left me very excited for Saturday.

AVERAGE Team Impact tries to convince Scott to let Josh Alexander back on the team, but Scott tells them no. Team Impact starts thinking about asking ROH World Champion, Jonathan Gresham to be on their team.

RESULT: NO CONTEST

Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: – 2.75 Stars. 

AVERAGE Bhupinder Gujjar is interviewed backstage. He talks about his debut in Impact Wrestling, he talks about it was his dream to be a wrestler and he is here to be the best. Raj Singh tries to talk to Bhupinder Gujjar, but he leaves before he can.

AVERAGE The IInspiration continues trying to woo Kaleb with a. As they’re taking a picture with him, Madison sees him and she questions him.

AVERAGE We now see the Bullet Club go back and forth against VBD (Violent By Design) and The Good Brothers. Eric wants to face Jay White and GOD wants to face the Good Brothers. There is now a six man tag team match next week on Impact.

AVERAGE Jonathan appears to have been taken out backstage, presumably by Team Honor No More.

AVERAGE Matt Cordona brags about how he has helped make the way for other wrestlers to have something like the Digital Media belt. Jordyn Grace and Matt Cordanos rematch will be at No Surrender.

GOOD Matt Taven and Mike Bennett vs Rhino and Rich Swann: A good tag match featuring Team Honor No More and Team Impact. In this match, the storyline between both groups is still going strong. After the match Steven Maclin helps Team Impact  by attacking Team Honor No More. When Team Impact heads backstage, Steve begs them to let him on the team and they eventually let him join. 

RESULT: Matt Taven and Mike Bennet win by pinfall against Rhino and Rich Swann

Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: – 3.0 Stars. 

GOOD Brian Myers and W. Morrissey: This was a good match between Brian and W. Morrissey. There was some interference from Brian’s team, The Learning Tree, but W. Morrissey was able to prevail and win the match.

RESULT: W. Morrissey wins by against Brian Myers

Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: – 3.0 Stars. 

Overall, this episode of Impact Wrestling was good to watch. Some positive things that happened during this show was the No DQ main event with Brian Myers and W. Morrissey. The match itself was pretty good and fun to watch between Brian and Morrissey. The ending of the match made sense since Morrissey was able to get the victory and gain some momentum. This was also a good build up for Morrissey title match with Moose at No Surrender. Another good thing that happened during the show was the non championship match between Chelsea Green and Mickie James. This was a good way to keep the Tasha and Mickie storyline progressing. Not only that, but this helps Chelsea and Mickie to continue their storyline and maybe a future rivialy later down the road. Lastly the build up between Team Honor No More and Team Impact has had a pretty solid build up and it has continued to progress ahead of their tag match at No Surrender. There weren’t really any negative things in this episode of Impact, because we got to see the continuation of several storylines, good matches, and much more!
