Here are the quick results from tonight’s Impact Wrestling in Chicago:
This episode was taped Sunday and is the fallout from Bound For Glory.
There was no YouTube pre-show this week.
It was announced in advance tonight’s broadcast would feature replays of 2 COMPLETE PPV matches: Will Ospreay vs. Mike Bailey and Impact World Champion Alex Shelley vs. Josh Alexander for the title.
The show opens with Thom Hannifan & Matt Rehwoldt introducing things, taped Saturday after the PPV. They made it sound like tonight is going to be a special clip show/PPV recap with no post-PPV matches. Just BFG highlights.
Ospreay-Bailey replay opens the show. Starts right after the bell rang, no entrances shown. When they had to go to commercial during this match, they resumed the replay back a few seconds before the break.
Highlights of the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, a 20-person staggered entry match where the eventual winner gets a future title shot of their choice. When it got down to the last 2, it became a normal match with win only by pinfall or submission. And those last 2 were Jordynne Grace and Bully Ray.
Highlights from the pre-show when Traci Brooks, Mike Tenay & Don West were inducted into the Impact Hall Of Fame.
Highlights from the Impact Tag Team Championship match (Rascalz vs. Bullet Club).
Bullet Club post-match promo.
Highlights from the Impact X Division Championship match that opened the PPV (Chris Sabin vs. KENTA).
Highlights from the Impact Knockouts Championship match (Trinity vs. Mickie James).
Trinity post-match promo.
The full replay of the Impact World Championship match (Alex Shelley vs. Josh Alexander) is the main event segment. They begin at pre-match introductions (no entrances).
The show ends with a replay of the PPV-ending video package announcing the return of TNA (Total Nonstop Action). Impact will change its name back to TNA Wrestling at Hard To Kill on January 13, 2024. Including the Scott D’Amore promo that followed. A funny spot was showing a large room where most if not all the roster that wasn’t in the ring was watching & reacting.
Next week: TBA.
The promotion is now in England for a 4-day tour that will include TV tapings for an upcoming episode of Impact next month and tomorrow will be Turning Point, which will be taped and air on Impact+, FITE and YouTube for Ultimate Insiders on 11/3 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. Confirmed for Turning Point: Trinity vs. Donna Purrazzo for the Impact Knockouts Championship. And reportedly there is a stip-if Purrazzo loses, she can’t get another title shot while Trinity is champion as Purrazzo is 0-2 against the champ.
Although the event will be taped when it premieres next week. I will not be posting spoilers ahead of time and will be attempting to avoid them so I will hopefully be going into the event not yet knowing what happened.
10/27 UPDATE: On social media, Impact announced there were TV tapings at one of the England events happening this weekend. That episode will air next week.
