1. Davey Richards w/Angelina Love vs. Suicide
The lone wolf picked up a near squash match level victory here, and then made out with Angelina Love for a bit. Not a bad day’s work for Richards.
Winner: Davey Richards
Laurel Van Ness has yet to wash her face or change out of her wedding dress now for multiple weeks. Her sanity is being tested after her disastrous attempt at a wedding.

2. Fallah Bath, Idris Abraham and Mario Bokara vs. Laredo Kid, Garza Jr and Shera
A lot of new faces in this match, but for the second week in a row Laredo Kid and Garza Jr. from the Crash Lucha Libre promotion pick up the win. Fallah Bahh and Mario Bokara are the Monster Factory tag champs and made their Impact debut here. Bahh is from the Philippines and goes with a a bit of a sumo gimmick, while Bokara is from Croatia. Idris Abraham is from Michigan but they played up his Egyptian roots as this match served as a showcase for how “global” Impact is.
Winners: Laredo Kid, Garza Jr and Shera

3. Reno Scum vs. Decay
The tag team division continues to take centre stage in Impact, as the company looks to move on from the Hardys (whilst making it more difficult for the Hardys to move on from Impact). Reno Scum pick up an upset victory here, defeating the former tag team champions. Based on how they’ve been used since the Jarretts took over, things are looking good for Reno Scum.
Winners: Reno Scum
4. Moose vs. Eli Drake
Moose is back from his Pro Wrestling NOAH trip, but he never got the chance to wrestle here. Cody, who has been challenging Moose in recent weeks, took the opportunity to attack Moose from behind with a chair, and leave him laying with the Cross Rhodes.
Result: No Contest (Cody attacked Moose pre-match)

5. LAX w/Konnan vs. DCC
More action in the tag team division as the returning LAX (Homicide and Diamante wrestled here) defeated Bram and James Storm from the DCC. LAX could be considered top favourites to become the new Impact tag team champions shortly. If they do win the titles don’t expect them to defend the belts against a team from AAA however, Konnan made that fairly clear on Twitter earlier this week.
As for DCC, Storm ended up arguing after the match with Bram and Kingston, which could be an indication their faction is not long for this world.
Winners: LAX
6. ODB vs. Rebel
Knockouts division action here, with two former members of the division returning in this match. ODB took advantage of some shenanigans between Earl Hepner and Rebel however, which allowed her to pick up the victory. As such, she moves a little bit closer to title contention.
Winner: ODB

7. Bobby Lashley vs. Jake Holmes
Despite losing the title a couple of weeks ago, Bobby Lashley is still the Impact Wrestling champion. He took apart Jake Holmes here in squash match style. Alberto El Patron is waiting in the wings for a future title shot however.
Winner: Bobby Lashley
The main segment to close out the show was Karen Jarrett returning, and her slapping Josh Mathews. She did not directly fire Josh however, so he might still be on commentary next week.
