Here are the quick results from tonight’s Impact Wrestling in Atlanta, GA:
This episode was taped 6/23 & 6/24 as part of the Summer Sizzler TV tapings.
The YouTube pre-show match was Dirty Dango vs. Crazzy Steve.
Match 1: Eddie Edwards beat Frankie Kazarian. Frequent Alisha Edwards interference.
Lio Rush interviewed backstage. He is only here for the X Division Championship. Nick Aldis interrupts.
Kazarian promo backstage. Words for Edwards post-match. Kazarian wants a rubber match at Slammiversary to break their current 1-1 tie. And to counter Alisha, Kazarian is bringing his wife to be in his corner, and his wife is none other than original Knockout Traci Brooks.
Match 2: Sami Callihan & Rich Swann beat Champahne Singh & Shera. Callihan pinned Singh after Cactus Driver 97. Squash. No intros (came back from commercial right to the bell).
Brian Myers & Moose interviewed backstage.
Pre-show highlights including a Santino Marella promo on Dirty Dango after Dango’s match.
Dango promo.
Match 3: Jonathan Gresham beat Angels by submission. After the match, Angels appeared to turn on The Design, leaving only Deaner and Kon.
Bullet Club promo. The Rascalz interrupt and seem to issue an Impact Tag Team Championship challenge for Slammiversary, but the champs refuse.
PCO getting charged up backstage before commercial.
Highlights package from last week’s Australia tour, including tourism in Wagga Wagga. Both events are available on demand on FITE.
Trinity walks into Dronna Purrazzo’s room backstage to talk to her.
Match 4: PCO beat The Good Hands. Squash. Steve Maclin & Bully Ray came out afterwards and went after PCO following Scott D’Amore being handcuffed to the ropes. After this they head backstage and set PCO on fire.
Match 5: Gisele Shaw beat Courtney Rush. Got away with feet on the ropes unseen by the referee.
Kenny King & Sheldon Jean get constantly mobbed by fans until one triggers a Joe Hendry appearance. In a humorous spot, Hendry makes Yuya Uemura appear in his style at the end.
Just added to Slammiversary: Hendry-King for the Impact Digital Media Championship and Kazarian-Edwards with their wives in their corners.
Main Event: Lio Rush & Nick Aldis beat Motor City Machine Guns. Rush pinned Chris Sabin after Final Hour. Low blow behind the ref’s back helped set it up.
Next week: Zachary Wentz vs. Chris Bey, Kevin Knight vs. Mike Bailey, Moose & Brian Myers vs. Rich Swann & Sami Callihan and a Deonna Purrazzo open challenge. This will be the go-home episode for Slammiversary.
