Impact Wrestling 3/9/23 Results

Here are the quick results from tonight’s TAPED Impact Wrestling from Las Vegas, NV:

The pre-show YouTube match was Raj Singh & Shera vs. Rich Swann & Frankie Kazarian.

Bully Ray comes out to open. He called out Tommy Dreamer about a Busted Open match Bully says will never happen. Santino Marella comes out. He calls him Bobby Ray and the crowd starts chanting. Santino then makes the match official for Sacrifice because Tommy will be cleared and there. Bhupinder Gujjar them comes out. He speaks foreign (Hindi?) first. Santino “translates” and makes Gujjar-Bully for right now. The crowd loves Bobby Ray. Which led to…

Match 1: Bhupinder Gujjar beat Bully Ray by DQ. Low blow. Tommy Dreamer tried to make the save but Masha Slamovich came out to assist Bully, which brought Mickie James out. She hit Bully with a Singapore Cane and went after Slamovich but Bully recovered and went for a chokeslam on Mickie with a chain but Tommy recovered and made the save with a chair.

PCO promo.

Josh Alexander recruits Rich Swann to be on his team in a 6-man tag at Sacrifice, then Steve Maclin wants in. But Alexander already chose Frankie Kazarian, who walks in. They’ll face Time Machine.

Match 2: Rhino beat Sami Callihan.

Trey Miguel tries to talk to Santino about Sacrifice and gets himself a mystery opponent for the PPV. And then, assuming he remains champion, he will be in an upcoming 6-way for the X Division Championship. That match will be on 3/30 at the Impact/New Japan crossover PPV.

Match 3: Jordynne Grace beat Alex Gracia. Squash.

Moose confronts Joe Hendry backstage. Immediate ambush from behind and beatdown by Moose & Brian Myers.

Bullet Club with KENTA walks through backstage including a brief challenge-in-passing from Shane Haste before talking to Alexander/Swann/Kazarian. Kazarian proposes a 6-man tag for next week.

Match 4: KUSHIDA beat Jonathan Gresham by submission.

Killer Kelly promo. She calls out Taylor WIlde. Wilde played games with tarot cards, leading to KiLynn King sneaking in and attacking Wilde from behind with a chair and laying her out.

Backstage Death Dollz surround King. Wilde soon joins in as Death Dollz continue taunting them.

Eddie Edwards out in the dark in the desert looking for PCO. Cinematic fight begins between them. PCO lays out Edwards and drags him by an arm through the desert and begins to bury Edwards alive. Until a car suddenly zooms in and hits PCO. We don’t see the driver as Edwards gets in and they escape. To Be Continued?

Added to 3/30: KENTA vs. Minoru Suzuki.

Deonna Prurazzo joins commentary.

Main Event: Impact Knockouts Champion Mickie James beat Gisele Shaw to retain the title. This pretty much guarantees James vs. Grace for the title at Sacrifice on 3/24.

Next week: Jonathan Gresham & Mike Bailey vs. Decay, Steve Maclin vs. Heath, Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions Deah Dollz vs. Taylor Wilde & KiLynn King for the titles and Bullet Club vs. Alexander/Kazarian/Swann.

Impact also announced Under Siege, their May PPV, will be on 5/26 in London, Ontario, Canada with the fallout TV tapings on 5/27. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. This will be an Impact+/YouTube Ultimate Insider/FITE live event (included with paid subscription for first two, $9.99 on FITE).
