They play a video package recapping the Johnny Impact/Jimmy Jacobs and Kong Kong feud

Scott Steiner cuts a promo. He says Konnan didn’t show up at Redemption because Taco Bell had a sale on burritos. He hands Eli Drake the microphone and Eli opts not to cut a promo. That’s new

Eli Drake & Scott Steiner vs LAX: Steiner with a Belly to Belly Suplex on Santana, but breaks the count, Avalanche Belly to Belly Suplex for a near fall, Double Elbow Drop for a near fall, Ortiz with a Snap DDT on Drake, but Steiner breaks it up, Elevated Cannonball, Ortiz with a Death Valley Bomb on Drake for a near fall, LAX looks for The Street Sweeper, but Drake counters into a Powerslam in mid-air, Steiner stops Ortiz from breaking it up & Drake and Steiner retains The Tag Titles

Drake cuts a post match promo. He claims this is not a fluke and these titles are going nowhere. He reminds everyone that he’ll take that world championship whenever he wants it. And it may be just about time to do that.

Austin Aries’ music plays and the Belt Collector comes down, arm in the sling with the rest of his titles on the other arm as Impact goes to break.

A Double tells Drake he has the top championship. The Grand Championship. So does he want a shot this? Probably not because every time he’s faced Aries he’s lost.

After some jawing, Pentagon Jr. finally makes his way to the ring with the actual world championship. He stares down both Drake and Aries and tells them who he his.

But soon Steiner and Drake attack Aries and Pentagon. The current champ and the former champ are able to take care of the tag champs. Austin picks up Pentagon’s title and hands it to the champ, but he holds on long. Both men hold up their titles.

Aries leaves the ring as Pentagon poses with the world title.

Z & E are celebrating backstage. Z talks about overcoming the injuries they’ve overcome. Petey Williams runs in and hugs them both.

Josh Mathews in the studio with his wife Madison Rayne. She’s making it sound like this is something she’s going to do more often

Tessa Blanchard vs Kiera Hogan: Tessa with a Running Dropkick to the back while Kiera's in the rope for a 2 count, Hogan with a Leaping Legdrop for a 2 count, Tessa with an Ace Crusher then the Devil-Lock DDT for the win (Blanchard over Hogan? There's something you never would have typed in the 80's)

She’s back on the attack after the match! Madison Rayne is leaving commentary, makes her way to the ring, and tosses Blanchard off Kiera! When Tessa goes to grab her, Madison quickly turns and Tessa immediately retreats!

Backstage, Grado, with Katarina (formerly Winter) at his side, accuses Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong for these backstage attacks. Jimmy said he’s not a bad guy. He’s a good guy. He doesn’t care about Joseph Park. If Grado wants to keep making accusations, then they’re going to make him pay. Looks like Grado is going to let it go until Katarina says that they can’t talk to him like that. Poor Grado is going to have to fight Kongo Kong now

Video recap of the Sami/Eddie situation up to now

Pentagon cuts a promo saying he’s got a surprise for us tonight - he’s teaming with Pure Chocolate - which is the nickname for El Hijo de Fantasma

Kongo Kong vs Grado: Kong with an Overhead Belly to Belly for a 2 count, Body Slam then the Diving Splash finishes Grado

Katarina looks like she’s leaving Grado when he’s about to get a beating. Yeah, she just leaves. Meanwhile, Kongo tosses Grado shoulder first into the steel steps. They set up the ring steps on the apron like when they lawn darted Johnny Impact. He picks up Grado...

But here comes Moose! Strikes to Kongo! But when Jimmy distracts Moose, Kongo knees Moose in the gut and tosses him into the ring. But a big kick to Kongo as soon as he gets into the ring. Moose clotheslines over the ring. Jimmy Jacobs grabs his charge and leads him to the back

LAX are backstage on the phone trying to find out what is going on. The Cult of Lee decide this is the best time to mock them. Lee & Konley make the point that when LAX beat them, they had Konnan. They don’t have him any more

Earlier today, Tommy Dreamer is telling Eddie that after he wins tonight, this is over. Edwards isn’t hearing it because it’s far from over for him

We go to House of Hardcore for the Street Fight
Eddie Edwards vs Sami Callihan: Sami has a steel spike, but Eddie stops it & rips at Callihan's eye, Sami with a Death Valley Bomb on the entrance stage, Eddie with a can of soda off the head then DDTs Sami on the apron, we have a lead pipe battle, Edwards with the pipe into the ribs then to the face, Eddie has a Singapore cane, cane to the knee then the other knee, Sami spits right in the face of Edwards, Eddie goes for a cane shot, but Sami counters with a Low Blow then hits The Get Out of Here for a near fall, Callihan sets up a pair of chairs, Edwards with a nut shot, but Callihan with a Falcon Arrow on the chairs for a near fall, Eddie spits into Callihan's face & Sami grabs the bat, but Edwards pulls the trigger first & hits The Boston Knee Party for the win

But he’s right back on the attack. He grabs the bat and starts choking Sami with it! Security has to pry Eddie off.

Tommy Dreamer makes his way to the ring as security removes Callihan from the area

KM runs into Fallah backstage and marvels how much weight he’s lost. Now KM is giving him a make over

The Funeral for Rosemary

This is a video outdoors of the undead brides converging on a cemetery. We also see some clips of what happened weeks ago. The brides drop the wooden casket in the cemetery. Su Yung places dead flowers on top.

Su Yung mists the coffin, which sets it on fire (For those who may not know Rosemary is injured, recovering from a torn ACL, so this whole angle was done to take her off the board for the time being)

We start with the recap video for last week’s episode.

Don Callis back on commentary

oVe vs Drago & Aerostar: Drago wipes out The Crists with a Twisting Tope con Hilo then Aero follows with a Springboard Imploding Senton as the match officially begins, Callihan with a cheap shot from the floor, Jake into a cover on Drago for a 2 count, Drago & Aero with a modified version of The Dream Sequence they both go into a cover for a 2 count, Eddie arrives to the building and grabs a Singapore cane out of his car, Alisha tries to tell him its over & Eddie says its never going to be over, Edwards with a cane shot to Jake, presumably oVe wins by dq but its never said

Sami brings in the bat, but Eddie strikes first and Hh’s trying to choke out Callihan with the cane! The officials try to get him off of Sami but they can’t. Alisha is at ringside shouting “It’s over!” Callihan has passed out as a slew of security holds Eddie back!

Eddie looks to be leaving the ring but he uses the cane on security instead! Luckily Callihan has been removed by the refs

Backstage, Alisha upset, asking Eddie what is wrong with him. She tells him “You’re acting just like him!” Edwards says he’s nothing like Callihan, he'll never be like him. He says last week’s street fight wasn’t enough. He needs to finish him. It’s not over until he ends Sami Callihan for good.

Cult of Lee vs LAX: they brawl on the floor, Konley sends Ortiz back in for a 2 count, Trevor throws Ortiz around on the floor, back in & Konley covers for a 2 count, Trevor with a Back Suplex for a 2 count, LAX with a Double Team Death Valley Bomb on Konley, but Trevor breaks it up, LAX were looking for a Wheelbarrow (possibly an Ace Crusher), but Trevor trips up Ortiz & Konley with a Victory Roll & grabs Santana's tights for the win as LAX's losing streak continues

Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong are interviewed by McKenzie Mitchell backstage. Jacobs reiterates his new talking point that he’s not a bad guy. He’s a good guy. But Moose is a bad guy. Last week, they were just trying to write a wrong when Grado accused Kongo of something he didn’t do when Moose put a stop to that. Tonight, he wants to see Kong break Moose into a million pieces

Backstage, KM is still pep talking Fallah Bahh when they come upon Grado and Katarina. KM says if a fatass like Grado can get a girl like that, imagine what Fallah can do. He asks how a girl like that can even get Grado and Katarina says she a bit of a chubby chaser. At first Grado is offended but she talks herself out of it

Madison Rayne interviewed backstage. She’s explaining her actions from last week when interrupted by Tessa Blanchard for getting in her business, she tells Madison that next time why doesn't she just stay at home or next time they go one on one instead of having Rayne attack her from behind

Recap of Z & E's title win from last week

Z & E are interviewed backstage by Mitchell. They’re interrupted by Scott Steiner and Eli Drake. Steiner is pissed, telling the champs that he and Drake beat themselves. Drake tries to calm the big man down and Steiner blames him for the loss. They start yelling at each other

El Hijo del Fantasma vs Matt Sydal: Fantasma with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker for a 2 count, Sydal with a modified Cobra Stretch, but Fantasma fights out, Sydal with The Slice for a 2 count, Fantasma with a Fireman Carry Snake Eyes on the steps then posts Sydal, back in the ring, he looks for the Double Stomp, but Sydal evades and hits The Lightning Spiral, he goes up for the Shooting Sydal Press, but Fantasma evades, Matt lands on his feet, Sydal fights out of an attempted Thrill of the Kill, but Fantasma locks in a version of the Indian Deathlock, Sydal makes it to the rope, Fantasma with a Fireman Carry with Knee Strikes, tosses him off for a Superkick, he looks to end it, but Sydal goes behind Double Wrist-Clutch and finishes Fantasma with The Chemical Imbalance II to retain the X Division Title

Santana and Ortiz are back in the clubhouse PISSED. Eddie Kingston rolls in and tells them Konnan told him he got jumped. But he’s safe right now. Homicide is with Konnan at the safe spot. He knows this because of the chain of command: at the top is Konnan, 2nd is Homicide & 3rd is Eddie Kingston. He then addresses the losing streak and tells them he needs them to step up and find that hunger that they had before becoming Tag Team Champions

Video package prepping the title match for next week. Austin Aries cuts an interview in it making the point that Pentagon never beat him one on one

Dezmond Xavier vs Petey Williams: Xavier with a Dropkick for a 2 count, Petey with a Suplex/Back Suplex combo for a 2 count, Backbreaker for a 2 count, Petey was looking for the Oh Canada nut stomp, but Dezmond counters with a Spider German Suplex, Petey with a Tilt-a-Whirl Russian Legsweep into a Crucifix Pin for a 2 count, Canadian Destroyer countered into an Ace Crusher for a near fall, Canadian Destroyer, but Xavier blocks and hits a Basement Meteora for a near fall, Dezmond goes for a Hurricanrana, but Petey counters into a Powerbomb, he hooks him, but Xavier blocks the Destroyer, then finishes Petey with Jocay-le

We see a pretty sweet video package of Allie preparing for her match in front of the mirror. She’s wearing her own Demon make up! She picks up a cross (that may have had a stake on the long end) and says she's sorry she know this isn't want she wants, but this is how it has to be. We see written in red on the mirror a note “B - Don’t let the darkness consume you. -R.”

Moose vs Kongo Kong: Kongo's looking around for Jimmy Jacobs who's absent from Kong's match, Kong with a Cannonball on Moose into the steps, Kongo back in, Moose in at 9, Kong with a Belly to Belly Suplex for a 2 count, Rolling Senton for a 2 count, Moose tries a Slam, but too much weight as Kong falls on top of Moose for a 2 count, Moose with a Game Breaker, but Kongo ducks and hits an Ushi-Goroshi for a near fall, Kong up top for the Flying Splash, but Moose evades, Moose with a Trifecta of Pump Kicks then a Body Slam and breaks Kong in half with The Hit-Stick for the win

As the show is fading out, we get the symbol of the attacker ... and a video that shows that they laid out Jimmy Jacobs and left the calling card! Who is the mystery attacker?
