Impact Wrestling 4/13/23 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s TAPED Impact Wrestling from Windsor, Ontario, Canada (this is the go-home show for Rebellion on Sunday):

The pre-show YouTube match was Johnny Swinger vs. El Reverso.

Show opens with a recap of when Josh Alexander vacated the Impact World Championship last week.

Match 1: Kenny King beat Frankie Kazarian. As a result, Bully Ray’s team will have the advantage in Hardcore War at Rebellion. Moose interference set up the finish after outside the ring chaos with everyone in the match.

Steve Maclin & KUSHIDA fought at ringside.

Match 2: Laredo Kid beat Black Taurus, Lince Dorado & Rich Swann in a 4-way by pinning Taurus.

Death Dollz promo.

Match 3: Taylor Wilde beat Jessicka. KiLynn King interference set up the finish.

Jordynne Grace promo.

Alisha & Eddie Edwards promo.

Match 4: Dirty Dango & Joe Hendry beat Sami Callihan & Angels. Hendry pinned Angels after Standing Ovation. Santino Marella got involved in a post-match brawl.

PCO promo.

Bully Ray promo.

Match 5: Tasha Steelz beat Gisele Shaw.

The fans are shown leaving before Mickie James makes her announcement regarding her status for Rebellion. Announced for Sunday’s FREE pre-show is Kcockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven vs. Death Dollz for the titles and Heath & Rhino vs. Champagne Singh & Shera.

Mickie James makes her announcement in an empty, dark arena. Jordynne Grace & Deonna Purrazzo are shown watching from the production area. The announcement: It’s Over. James is NOT CLEARED to compete at Rebellion so she must VACATE the Knockouts World Championship. It’s now Grace vs. Purrazzo at Rebellion for the title. James leaves the belt and her cowboy hat in the ring and exits. Grace gets up and leaves the area, leaving Purrazzo by herself. One final shot of James’ gear and the microphone in the ring closes the show. Damn…very powerful and emotional ending to what might bring The Last Rodeo to an unfortunate close.

Next up is Rebellion Sunday on PPV, FITE and (in the US, Canada, Mexico and South Korea) YouTube. The event is available on all platforms for $39.99-if you buy on FITE you also get unlimited on demand replays. If you buy on YouTube you can watch on demand for one week after the PPV. It is not available live on Impact+ or YouTube Ultimate Insider (if you subscribe to either you can watch on demand 30 days after the event as part of your subscription). The fallout TV tapings will be Monday and will probably cover 2 weeks to get them to the next TV tapings at the end of the month in Chicago, IL.
