8 Takeaways From Impact Wrestling 5/10
Impact Wrestling 5/10 was the 2nd episode taped the night after Rebellion in Toronto’s Rebel Nightclub. An 8-Man street fight featuring OVE against Tommy Dreamer, Rich Swann, Fallah Bah, and Willie Mack would headline the show.
Here are 8 takeaways from Impact Wrestling 5/10:
Rob Van Dam Defeated Ethan Page
- RVD defeated Ethan Page
Rob Van Dam took on and defeated Ethan Page last night on Impact Wrestling. The match had been set-up by Page confronting RVD last week.
I was at the tapings live and Rob Van Dam got the biggest reaction of the night. Ethan Page and Josh Alexander are really popular in Toronto as well but Rob Van Dam was clearly the featured act of the night.
OVE Stand Tall To End The Show
- OVE defeated Willie Mack, Rich Swann, Tommy Dreamer, & Fallah Bah
Last night’s main event was a street fight between OVE against Tommy Dreamer, Willie Mack, Rich Swann, and Fallah Bah.
OVE is perhaps at the strongest it has ever been ever since Sami Callihan added Madman Fulton into the group. They were able to pick up the win in a plunder-filled main event after Callihan gave Willie Mack a “Cactus Special” piledriver onto a pile of lego.
LAX and the Rascalz Hang Out
LAX and the Rascalz spent some time hanging out in the Rascalz clubhouse this week. Trey, Wentz, and Dez had some trouble keeping up with what they were drinking, however.
Madison Rayne Gets Non-Title Win Over Taya Valkyrie
- Madison Rayne defeated Taya Valkyrie – Non Title
Taya refused to defend her title in this match against Madison Rayne. Valkyrie explained she only has to defend her title once every 30 days and was not willing to put the belt on the line in this match.
Valkyrie then submitted rather easily to a single-leg crab. The victory likely means Madison Rayne will receive a title match sometime in the near future.
Kiera Hogan Says Rosemary Can “Die Like Allie”
Kiera Hogan cut a backstage promo this week. Hogan abandoned Rosemary last week as she was being attacked by Su Yung and her minions. This week, Kiera Hogan told Melissa Santos and Jordynne Grace that she doesn’t need friends and that Rosemary can “die like Allie” for all she cares.
The Desi-Hit Squad Pull Out A Win!
- The Desi Hit Squad defeated the Deaners, Aiden Prince & Brent Banks, and the Rascalz
The Great Gama Singh’s tag-team faction doesn’t have the greatest win/loss record in the promotion. They pulled out a big win in a 4-team match this week, however. Rohit Raju picked up the win for his team with a roll-up and a handful of trunks.
The win for the Desi Hit Squad probably earns them a match against a highly ranked team in the division.
LAX Win Non-Title Match Against Josh Alexander & Moose
- LAX defeated Josh Alexander & Moose
It’s not clear if Moose is an official member of the North or not. He wears Red and Gold and teams with them frequently but he is not technically Canadian. He is named Moose, however, an iconic Canadian animal.
Regardless, LAX picked up the win over Alexander and Moose this week.
Jordynne Grace Back In The Win Column
- Jordynne Grace defeated Alexia Nicole
Jordynne Grace dropped a Knockouts title match to Taya Valkyrie at Rebellion but she got back in the win column tonight. Grace used her power to get the win over local indy wrestler, Alexia Nicole.
Quick Results:
- LAX defeated Moose & Josh Alexander –
Non Title - Madison Rayne defeated Taya Valkyrie –
Non Title - Jordynne Grace defeated Alexia Nicole
