Here are the quick results from tonight’s Impact Wrestling in Chicago, IL:
This episode was taped on 4/29 and is the final event before tomorrow’s live Under Siege event.
The YouTube pre-show match was Sami Callihan vs. Shogun.
Match 1: Chris Sabin beat Mike Bailey. H-O-T opener.
Trinity promo for Under Siege.
Steve Maclin-PCO video package for Under Siege. Afterwards, Maclin says he’ll name his challenger for tomorrow later thinking PCO is out.
Nick Aldis joins commentary for the next match.
Match 2: Kenny King & Sheldon Jean beat Decay. King pinned Crazzy Steve after Royal Flush. Afterwards, King with microphone. He taunted Aldis ahead of their match tomorrow. Aldis with microphone at commentary to respond. King sends Jean after Aldis and Jean quickly gets laid out. Aldis gets in the ring but King bails immediately, saying it’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
Jessicka leaves the hourglass counting down to Rosemary’s return backstage for her match. No entry for Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King as we return from commercial but Jessicka gets hers.
Match 3: Taylor Wilde beat Jessicka. Squash. Wilde & King further beat down Jessicka afterwards but the hourglass runs out and when it does, Rosemary doesn’t emerge…but Courtney Rush does. Rush sends King packing and puts Wilde in a sharpshooter until King pulls her out of the ring.
Jessicka & Rush backstage after commercial. Rush tells Jessicka technically she is Rosemary, so it looks like a name/gimmick change for Rush/Rosemary. Either way, Rush is now part of Death Dollz.
Match 4: Rich Swann beat Angels. Immediately afterwards, Kon & Deaner beat down Swann until Sami Callihan made the save with a baseball bat. But Kon & Angels recovered and held Callihan while Deaner turned the tables and laid out Callihan with the bat. They face off tomorrow in a 6-man tag but we still don’t know who will team with Callihan & Swann.
Deonna Purrazzo interviewed backstage. She talks about Jordynne Grace until Alisha Edwards cuts in.
Masha Slamovich & Killer Kelly are fighting backstage in the kitchen area of the venue when we return from commercial. They brawl all over the place until Slamovich chokes out Kelly with an electrical cord. Too short but pretty darn good.
Match 5: Jordynne Grace beat Alisha Edwards. Squash.
Dirty Dango promo.
#1 contender 6-way match promo for tomorrow. The winner is next for the Impact World Champion after tomorrow at Against All Odds.
Match 6: Chris Bey beat John Skyler.
Steve Maclin comes out for the main event segment. With microphone. He says PCO is out of tomorrow’s title match so he’s introducing a new challenger-Champagne Singh. Singh & Shera come out. Shera with microphone. He starts to put himself over in a comedy bit until Scott D’Amore comes out. He says that match won’t happen. Maclin thinks D’Amore is stacking the deck against him and doesn’t want him as Impact World Champion. But D’Amore says he’s fine with it as long as Maclin proves himself worthy of it. Maclin took issue with D’Amore throwing the title in his face at Rebellion. So D’Amore says he Maclin retains tomorrow, he will respectfully hand Maclin the title and shake his hand. Maclin says no. And what D’Amore will do after tomorrow is show Maclin the respect he deserves because as long as he’s champion, that means Maclin is D’Amore’s boss. And D’Amore straps the belt on Maclin after he wins tomorrow. D’Amore agrees to that. But Maclin brings up the replacement for PCO because is hasn’t been named. D’Amore says that’s because there is none, it’s still Maclin-PCO. And then PCO’s video plays and when the lights come on…HE’S ALIVE! AND HERE! And it’s on in the ring! PCO fights off Singh & Shera then rips the belt out of Maclin’s hands. Maclin bails as Sing & Shera try again to attack PCO but it backfires. Maclin dives for the belt but PCO foils that. After all, PCO IS NOT HUMAN.
