In a really cool spot, Suicide gave Everett a superplex while Lee hit a German suplex on Suicide and Sutter nailed Lee with a powerbomb all at the same time. A drunken Laurel Van Ness came out and distracted Sutter. Lee caught Sutter with a knee to retain the title.

Sienna came out after the match and promised to put Allie in the hospital.

– Prichard came down to the ring to discuss the status of the Impact World Tag Team Championship. He said the titles could only be won in the ring and not the internet. In two weeks, the top four teams will compete to crown new champions. This brought out Decay, Reno SCUM, and Laredo Kid & Garza Jr., who all want in on the match to crown new champions.

A brief brawl broke out with Decay clearing the ring and standing tall. Suddenly, LAX made their return to Impact. They beat down Decay and were the last team standing. The show ended with LAX celebrating. LAX now consists of Konnan, Homicide, Angel Ortiz, Mike Draztik, and Angel Rose.

Next Week: In two weeks, Impact will crown brand new Tag Team Champions. However, next week will feature the return of “she.”
