Here are the quick results from tonight’s Impact Wrestling from Toronto, Canada

This episode was taped Monday and begins the fallout from Sunday’s Rebellion PPV.

The YouTube pre-show match was Heath & Rhino vs. Jack Price & Shogun.

Match 1: Time Machine (KUSHIDA & Motor City Machine Guns) beat Trey Miguel, Jonathan Gresham & Mike Bailey. Chris Sabin pinned Miguel after Cradle Drop.

Santino Marella interviewed but interrupted by Alisha Edwards. He gives her a match. Then Johnny Swinger interrupts. Zicky Dice offers to pay to bring a luchador in.

Deonna Purrazzo promo.

Match 2: Alisha Edwards beat Tara Rising. Squash. Jody Threat came out to break up a post-match beatdown by Edwards.

Threat/Rising talk backstage. Threat going after Edwards.

Match 3: Moose beat Yuya Uemura.

Jimmy Jacobs interviews the returning Nick Aldis. He immediately calls out NEW Impact World Champion Steve Maclin.

Match 4: In a handicap match, Frankie Kazarian beat The Good Hands by heating John Skyler.

The Coven promo.

Sami Callihan promo. He plans to destroy The Design.

Match 5: Impact Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry beat Sheldon Jean to retain the title.

Stwve Maclin Changing Of The Guard Ceremony. Everyone was banned from ringside. Maclin came out with camo shirt-wearing security as backup. After he issues an open challenge to any Canadian for the Impact World Championship, Scott D’Amore comes out. He suggests Maclin is ducking Aldis and doesn’t back down, even after Maclin & D’Amore had issues at Rebellion. D’Amore says that at Under Siege, Maclin will defend against PCO. Maclin’s security overwhelms PCO and the beatdown is on. At least until PCO clears them out and it’s on with Maclin until he bails for now, leaving PCO standing tall in the ring as he drives two of the security personnel through a table set up in the corner.

Next week: NEW Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo vs. Taylor Wilde for the title, Masha Slamovich vs. Jordynne Grace and Impact Tag Team Champions Bullet Club (Ace Austin & Chris Bey) vs. The Design (Angels & Kon) in a NON-TITLE match. Interesting seeing Grace as rumors were her contract was up after Rebellion.

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.

Here are the quick results from tonight’s TAPED Impact Wrestling in Windsor, Ontario Canada:
This episode was taped the day after Sacrifice and was the fallout episode from the PPV.

Pre-show YouTube Match: Heath & Rhino beat Champagne Singh & Shera.

Motor CIty Machine Guns beat TMDK. Chris Sabin pinned Shane Haste. Afterwards, MCMG challenge Ace Austin & Chris Bey to Ultimate X at Rebellion, possibly for the Impact Tag Team Championship.

Match 2: Mike Bailey vs. Jonathan Gresham went to a no contest. Trey Miguel interference. This was to have been for a shot at Miguel and the X Division Championship at Rebellion. As a result, Santino Marella announced that because of Miguel’s interference, he’ll have to defend against both Bailey & Gresham in a 3-way at Rebellion.

Match 3: Jody Threat Impact Debut Match: Jody Threat beat Tara Rising. Squash.

Match 4: Tommy Dreamer, Yuya Uemura & Darren McCarty beat Bully Ray & The Good Hands. McCarty pinned Skyler after a stunner.

Match 5: Eddie Edwards beat PCO. Alisha Edwards interference set it up.

Josh Alexander officially gave up the Impact World Championship due to injury. Steve Maclin & KUSHIDA got involved leading to a brawl with KUSHIDA getting the better of Maclin.

Next week: The go-home show for Rebellion. Gisele Shaw vs. Tasha Steelz, Taylor Wilde vs. Jessicka, Sami Callihan & Angels vs. Joe Hendry & Dirty Dango, Kenny King vs. Frankie Kazarian for the advantage in Hardcore War at Rebellion, and the final decision on Mickie James’ status for Rebellion.

Added to Rebellion: Santino Marella, Joe Hendry & Dirty Dango vs. The Design, Knockouts Tag Team Champions The Coven (KiLynn King & Taylor Wilde) vs. Death Dollz (Jessicka & Rosemary) and Impact X Division Champion Trey Miguel vs. Mike Bailey & Jonathan Gresham in a 3-way for the title.

Breaking news from this morning’s edition of “Busted Open”: The Impact World Championship is now VACANT because Josh Alexander is injured and out of action. Torn triceps. He was to have defended the title against KUSHIDA on 3/30 and Steve Maclin on 4/16 at Rebellion. Maclin replaced Alexander in a 6-man tag at Sacrifice tonight. He was the longest-reigning Impact World Champion in history.

More as it becomes available.

UPDATE: Impact has announced Maclin vs. KUSHIDA for the vacant Impact World Championship at Rebellion. Replacement for Alexander at Muktiverse United is TBA.

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).

Impact Wresting has confirmed a report from Sports Illustrated earlier today that Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley, aka Motor City Machine Guns. have signed a new contract with the promotion. Terms were not revealed but they will continue to have freedom to work with other promotions including New Japan Pro Wrestling. Both have been with Impact for over 15 years and will be part of a 6-man tag with KUSHIDA at tomorrow’s Sacrifice PPV (available on FITE, Impact+ and YouTube for Ultimate Insiders).
