Impact Wrestling runs their live monthly major event, Under Siege, tonight. The full card currently consists of 10 matches headlined by Steve Maclin defending the Impact World Championship against PCO in what will now be a No DQ match. This plays off recent weeks of Impact when Maclin thought he injured PCO and Champagne Singh bought his way into an easy out for the champ, but PCO IS NOT HUMAN and showed up last night so the match remains so. Other title matches include a rematch between Deonna Purrazzo & Jordynne Grace for the Impact Knockouts Championship and it’s all or nothing for Grace-if she loses, she can’t get another chance at the title as long as Purrazzo is champion. Also on the line are the X Division and Tag Team Championships and there is a 6-way to determine the next challenger for the Impact World Championship in 2 weeks.
Today’s event will be held at Western Fair District Agriplex in London, Ontario, Canada and can be watched LIVE on Impact+ with a monthly or annual subscription ($7.99/month or $71.99/year), YouTube with an Ultimate Insider subscription ($4.99/month), and as a PPV on FITE ($9.99). If you buy the PPV on FITE you also get unlimited on demand replays (included with the other services). There is also a FREE pre-show on all the services beginning 30 minutes before the event. Due to work schedule conflicts I will be joining the pre-show in progress and watching from the beginning so at least initially I may be about 10 minutes behind live and catching up as I go. Including the pre-show the event should run the standard PPV/live window of about 3 1/2 hours.

Main Event: Impact World Champion Steve Maclin vs. PCO in a No DQ Match for the title
Result: Impact World Champion Steve Maclin beat PCO to retain the title. That means next up is Alex Shelley. Afterwards, Maclin with microphone. He immediately demands Scott D’Amore live up to his word and come out to put the title belt around Maclin’s waist. D’Amore comes out. He obliges and straps the title belt on Maclin and offers a handshake, which Maclin refuses. We hear camera picking up Maclin telling D’Amore whatever happens, he’s still his boss. During this time, Bully Ray sneaks into the ring and chokes out D’Amore with a strap. Camera catches Ray telling Maclin “Get The Table”. Bully produces a can of lighter fluid as Rehwoldt leaves commentary and hits the ring. Bully sprays lighter fluid all over Rehwoldt and lays him out. PCO then returns to the ring. Bully shoves PCO and it’s on. PCO shoves Bully back but Maclin lays out PCO with the title belt. Outside the ring the beatdown is on as Motor City Machine Guns hit the ring but get sent packing quickly.Bully prepares the flaming table as Maclin teases putting D’Amore through it. Table lit and…POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Bully taunts D’Amore, saying he will never get rid of Bully, ever, he’s here forever and he’s taking Impact down. Bully raises Maclin’s hand to end the show.
End Show. Live post-show coming up shortly on Impact+ & YouTube.
Final thoughts: As usual it was a solid live event although a couple of finishes felt like letdowns and the very end was a bit of overkill. Still worth the money as the matches ranged from good to outstanding.
Overall show grade: B+. Take out the couple finishes I didn’t like and it was A-.
The next TV tapings are tomorrow which will cover the fallout and the next 2 weeks of Impact to get them to Against All Odds.
