Blanchard was going to hit her finisher, but she instead hit Gail Kim’s finisher to win it.
– Eli Drake entered. There were legitimate power/technical problems as the graphics went out and no mics worked. Drake entertained the crowd until Tommy Dreamer came out. He confirmed they blew power to the truck.
Don Callis, Josh Mathews, Jimmy Jacobs, Sonjay Dutt, and others all went backstage to fix it. They sent out a match for the fans while they worked on it.
– Crazzy Steve defeated Logan James
Steve got a huge “Welcome back” chant. The match went long to try and cover the time used to fix the problem. Steve eventually won to a big pop.

– After about 25 minutes, the power was back and the show resumed where it left off with Eli Drake coming out.
– Ethan Page defeated Eddie Edwards by DQ
Drake was on commentary for the match. Page has his own music and graphics and is no longer using Matt Sydal’s. Page won via disqualification after Edwards hit him with the kendo stick.
After the match, Drake cut a promo on Edwards. Drake said Edwards used to be a good wrestler and a multi-time champ — but since he went hardcore, he’s nothing but a loser. Drake challenged him to be the old Edwards. Drake vs. Edwards seems to be a program going forward.
Grace won in dominant fashion. The lights flickered before the match started to set up the post-match angle in which Rosemary came out and tried to get Allie to “see the light” — but Allie retreated instead.
– KM (w/ Fallah Bahh) vs. Caleb Konley
Cage came out and destroyed everyone, including the referee who was in charge of his match at Homecoming. The fans chanted “Next World champ.”
Cage grabbed a mic and said he’s upset that, despite Johnny Impact promising him the next World title shot, he found out Kross will get it next week in Mexico City. Cage said he will do whatever it takes to win the title.
Johnny entered but was ambushed by Kross and Moose. Cage stayed and just watched. After they were done, Cage tried to attack Johnny — but Kross and Moose returned and beat him down too.
– X Division Champion Rich Swann defeated Trey Miguel
Another really great match. They slapped the hell out of each other and traded a series of kicks and high spots. Swann won with the 450.
oVe all came down after. They once again pressured Swann to accept the shirt they offered him. They backed him into a corner. Before he could accept or decline, LAX came out.
– Impact Tag Team Champions LAX defeated oVe
Another really fun match. Both teams looked good, with LAX going over strong in the end.
– Brian Cage defeated Moose
This match was very physically intense. It was more impactful than the match they had on TV a few weeks ago, and this one had a definitive winner. Moose tried to use a chair. He missed, which allowed Cage to hit the Drill Claw to win. The fans chanted “Next world champ.”
All in all, this was a great night of tapings despite the technical problems. It’s clear that Cage was by far the most over guy on the whole show.

There was a quick disqualification when oVe attacked the ref, but they kept brawling outside the ring. Cage did a suplex from the ring to the floor, landing on top of everyone. Fenix did a tornillo from the upper railings. They fought off into commercials i think, but at the end, the good guys had the upper hand and posed at the ramp.
These teams will be facing each other in an oVe rules match at Bound for Glory on October 14.
– Impact World Champion Austin Aries (w/ Moose and Killer Kross) defeated El Texano Jr. to retain his title
Aries pinned Texano with the brainbuster, even after Texano had used his rope on Aries. Texano was over enough with the crowd.
Johnny Impact cut a promo on the tron after the match. He then came out and took on Aries, Moose, and Kross until Edwards came in and helped him run them off.
