Here are the quick results from tonight’s Impact Wrestling from Chicago, IL:
This episode was taped last weekend (4/28-4/29) as part of what should be the next 4 episodes, including this one, that should take them to Under Siege, the next monthly live event, on 5/26.
The YouTube pre-show match was Laredo Kid vs. Jack Price. The promotion has also signed Jennifer Chung (Jade Chung), the real life wife of Josh Alexander, and she will be the ring announcer for the pre-show match going forward among other announcing duties.
Match 1: Moose & Brian Myers beat Bhupinder Gujjar & Yuya Uemura. Moose pinned Gujjar after a spear.
Gia Miller interviews Steve Maclin, Champagne Singh & Shera.
Replay of Santino Marella backstage attack aftermath from last week, follow-up investigation by Dirty Dango leads to an impromptu Joe Hendry summoning. Hendry thinks Mike Tenay was responsible but Hendry suggests Trey Miguel. Classic running Mike Tenay jokes.
Match 2: .Sami Callihan beat Kon by apparent DQ. This was supposed to have been Callihan vs. Deaner but Deaner announced as he came out that plans changed and Callihan was facing Kon instead. DQ came when Deaner summoned the Army Of Darkness-a bunch of guys in yellow hoodies & jeans-to the ring to beat down Callihan. Deaner finished it with a baseball bat shot to Callihan’s face. The question is whether this was actually DQ or no contest. The ref waved it off but there was no announcement.
Dango & Hendry interrogate Trey Miguel backstage. Miguel is supposedly cleared but not before and after some ridiculous comedy.
Jimmy Jacobs interviews Nick Aldis. Kenny King interrupts mid-promo, in response Aldis challenges King to a match. King says no, gotta earn it.
Match 3: Jody Threat beat Alisha Edwards.
Motor City Machine Guns interviewed. Apparently Chris Sabin is a big Steven Seagal movie fan and spoofs Booker T in counting his X Championship reigns. Alex Shelley says he’s going for the Impact World Championship in the meantime.
Frankie Kazarian retrospective Part 2. Full video will be available on YouTube and Impact+ after tonight’s show, which should be anytime as of this post.
Match 4: PCO, Rhino & Heath beat Steve Maclin, Champagne Singh & Shera. PCO pinned Singh after PCOsault. Rhino & Heath were mystery partners of PCO’s choice.
The Coven promo.
Death Dollz promo. They seek out Father James Mitchell in their quest to get rid of The Coven blocking their access to the undead realm and possibly finding Taya Valkyrie (who of course has left Impact and is now with All Elite Wrestling). Rosemary has a butcher knife for some reason. And after THe Coven introduced a candle into their promo, Jessicka produces an hourglass. They’re really into all this mystic/supernatural stuff.
Match 5: Jonathan Gresham beat Mike Bailey by submission. They played it up like this is the end of the 4-match series between them. I selfishly hope not because this was another FANTASTIC match.
Sami Callihan backstage trying to recruit Rich Swann to help him against Design.
Main Event segment is the Impact debut of Trinity (former Naomi in WWE, now going by her real first name). She cuts a fired-up promo stating she’s here for the Knockouts World Championship, which brings out Deonna Purrazzo. She even takes a shot at how Trinity left WWE but as it gets really heated Jordynne Grace comes out. Trinity is ready to wait for Purrazzo-Grace at Under Siege and then take on whoever emerges as champion. Trinity danced off and left Grace & Purrazzo facing off in the ring.
Next week: Impact World Champion Steve Maclin vs. Rhino for the title, Frankie Kazarian Interview Part 3, Nick Aldis vs. Sheldon Jean, Masha Slamovich vs. Killer Kelly and Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven vs. Jordynne Grace & Deonna Purrazzo for the titles.
