Here are the quick results from tonight’s TAPED Impact Wrestling from Las Vegas, NV:
The YouTube pre-show match was Impact X Division Champion Trey Miguel vs. Kevin Knight in a NON-TITLE match.
Match 1: Time Machine (Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, KUSHIDA) beat Design (Deaner, Angels, Kon). KUSHIDA beat Angels with Hoverboard Lock.
Kenny King calls out PCO for Sacrifice.
Match 2: Deonna Purrazzo beat Savannah Evans. Evans & Gisele Shaw beat down Purrazzo afterwards.
Death Dollz argument culminates in Jessicka coming across a coffin with a hand reaching out to pull Taya Valkyrie inside. It closes as Jessicka runs away screaming. Guess this is Impact writing Taya off now that she’s signed with All Elite Wrestling and thus is probably done with Impact.
Match 3: Bully Ray & Masha Slamovich beat Tommy Dreamer & Mickie James. Bully pinned Dreamer after a piledriver. Afterwards Bully tried to powerbomb James through a table but Jordynne Grace made the save, however she inadvertently speared James when Bully dodged.
Rich Swann barges in on Steve Maclin going through Josh Alexander’s bags.
Match 4: Moose & Brian Myers beat Joe Hendry & Dirty Dango. Myers pinned Hendry after Roster Cut.
Main Event Segment: Josh Alexander comes out. He calls out Steve Maclin, who he defends the Impact World Championship against at Rebellion on 4/16. Maclin comes out and responds. Footage of Maclin observing Alexander from backstage at various events since mid-2022 is shown. Alexander wants to fight Maclin right then but Maclin refuses. He wants to win the title at Rebellion in Alexander’s hometown. But first Alexander must defend against KUSHIDA tomorrow.
Next week: The first-ever LIVE episode from Los Angeles (Anthem Studios at LA Live) leading into the Multiverse United PPV. Announced for that show: Miyu Yamashita vs. TBA, Will Ospreay vs. Homicide and Impact World Champion Josh Alexander vs. KENTA for the title. Those matches were taped already because Ospreay is injured and Alexander-KENTA already happened. Otherwise it will mainly be a preview for Multiverse United. PPV begins at 11 PM ET/8 PM PT only on FITE ($24.99).
Next up is Sacrifice tomorrow LIVE on Impact+ (subscription required, $7.99/month or $71.99/year), YouTube (Ultimate Insider subscription required, $4.99/month) and FITE ($9.99) at 8 PM ET/5 PM ET. A FREE pre-show is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT on YouTube. & Impact+. NEAR LIVE results will be posted for the PPV portion (I will miss the pre-show due to work conflicts. Those results will be added after the PPV) but due to potential work conflicts I may be 10-15 minutes behind the action for the first hour or so. What should be 2 weeks of TV including fallout will be taped Saturday to take them from after next week to Rebellion on 4/16. Rebellion is their quarterly major PPV and will only be available live on cable/satellite providers and FITE ($39.99). Impact+ & Ultimate Inisders can watch on demand at a later date (I believe it’s 30 days but could be as much as 90 days).
UPDATE: After the show ended Impact announced on Twitter that Mickie James is now off Sacrifice. Unspecified injury. Further details announced at the event. She was to have defended the Impact Knockouts Championship against Jordynne Grace. It’s not known if this is legit or an angle (tonight’s show was taped nearly a month ago).
