Impact Wrestling presented a taped show last night on Pursuit, Twitch, and their international broadcast partners. The show was filmed inside New York’s Melrose Ballroom.
Here are 7 Takeaways from Impact Wrestling 6/21.
Brian Cage Is Back
Rich Swann pinned Johnny Impact in the night’s main event, which was a triple threat also involving Michael Elgin. Following the match, Elgin and Impact attempted to deliver a post-match beatdown to Swann but were interrupted by the returning World Champion Brian Cage.
Cage would throw Impact out of the ring before
Monster’s Ball Match Booked For Slammiversary
Su Yung was disqualified this week in her Knockouts championship match with Taya Valkyrie. James Mitchell’s newest monster, Havok, hit Taya right in front of the official causing Josh Matthews to wonder if Mitchell has any control over her.
Earlier in the show, Taya had enlisted the help of Rosemary as her insurance policy against Mitchell’s group. When Rosemary came out, however, Mitchell announced that all 4 competitors would face each other in a Monster’s Ball match for the Knockout championship at Slammiversary.
Sami Callihan Challenges Tessa Blanchard For Slammiversary
Tessa Blanchard defeated Jake Crist in this week’s opening match, enraging Sami Callihan. Later in the show, Callihan would issue a challenge to Tessa for Slammiversary. Blanchard has yet to respond.
TJP Returns to Impact Wrestling
Ace Austin cut a promo this week mentioning that he has never been defeated in Impact Wrestling. He then issued an open challenge which was answered by the former Manic, now known as TJP. The returning TJP then ended Ace Austin’s undefeated streak in the promotion.
Rob Van Dam Rescues Tommy Dreamer From Moose
Moose wanted to send a message to Rob Van Dam ahead of their Slammiversary clash this week. After defeating Tommy Dreamer, Moose set him up in the corner and looked as though he was going to deliver a Coast to Coast, one of RVD’s patented moves, but RVD himself came out to make the save.
Killer Kross Waterboards the Sandman
The second match of the episode featured Madman Fulton from OVE going up against Eddie Edwards. Edwards went to the outside to grab his Kendo stick when Killer Kross appeared on the big screen. Kross had the Sandman captured and under a hood. He then began waterboarding the ECW legend.
The distraction allowed Fulton to gain the advantage and pick up the win.
Eddie Edwards Gets Revenge
Later in the show, Edwards went looking for Kross. When Edwards found who he thought was the Sandman, it turned out to be someone completely else entirely. Edwards and Kross then brawled, with Edwards getting the upper hand. Alisha Edwards tried to tell Eddie that this is not who he is but Edwards disagreed.
Quick Results:
- Tessa Blanchard defeated Jake Crist
- Madman Fulton defeated Eddie Edwards
- Moose defeated Tommy Dreamer
