Trevor Lee, Caleb Konley, & Taiji Ishimori vs. Desmond Xavier, Sonjay Dutt, and Garza Jr.: We’re starting with a match, which is always appreciated. Dutt and Lee into begin. They work some back and forth, Dutt hits a RANA and Ishimori tags in. They keep the pace quick, Ishimori hits a head scissors and they work into a stand off. Konley tags in and Dutt works him over with rights, and then hits the dropkick. Dutt trips up Lee and gets cut off when he climbs the ropes, allowing Konley to take control. Lee tags in, taking the heat on Dutt and covers for 2. Quick tags by the heel team, as they work over Dutt in their corner. Konley hits a knee drop, and grounds things with a chinlock. Dutt fights for a tag, runs Konley into Lee and Garza tags in and is still working with one arm, which I feel is a really bad idea. He puts together some offense, tags in Xavier who hits a dive. Ishimori cuts him off, hits charging knees and hits a double stomp for 2. Ishimori up top, but Konley tags himself in. Xavier knocks him into Ishimori, Garza tags in and they trade strikes. Xavier cuts him off with a 619, Dutt take out Lee and Xavier hits the spiral tap for the win. Desmond Xavier, Sonjay Dutt, and Garza Jr. defeated Trevor Lee, Caleb Konley, & Taiji Ishimori @ 6:50 via pin

ATT & Lashley Return: Well it’s just Dan Lambert right now. Lambert is here to say, “I told you so.” His team exposed pro wrestling as a fraud, and they did at Bound for Glory. Anthem moved the TV o Ottawa to get their hands on some deflated Canadian currency. Impact promised Lashley his release, and he delivered, but Impact refused to honor the deal. Lambert had a release drawn up, and demands a member of management come out and sign it. Moose arrives and says it took 6 ATT guys to take him down. Moose calls him a dumb ass for giving his boys the night off. Moose threatens to beat down Lambert, and attacks. Lashley and ATT hit the ring and attack Moose, but James Storm arrives to make the save. Storm clears the ring, hits superkicks and drinks a beer. A goof in a neck brace arrives and yells at Storm, so he gets hit with a beer bottle. Storm says wrestling was here before Lambert and will be here after him. Storm says for 20-years, he’s been a pro wrestler. His mom believed in him and he lived his dream. In 2002 he was here when the doors opened on this company and he worked his ass off as part of AMW, and they proved that they belonged. And then they didn’t know what to do with him, and Beer Money was born. When the wrestlers come to the ring, they don’t think about what could go wrong, they live for the moment. Storm is fired the fuck up here, praising everyone backstage who makes him look good. He takes pride in professional wrestling, something ATT doesn’t know about. It’s all about respect, and doing what’s right for the fans. “I AM THE COWBOY, JAMES MOTHER FN STORM!”

Gail Kim Talks: Borash is in the ring and brings out Gail Kim. Before Kim can talk, Allie makes her way out to the ring. Kim talks growing up in Canada, and fell in love with wrestling, and decided that’s what she wanted to do. Not everyone can say their dreams come true, but with hard work and sacrifice, dreams can come rue and she’s living proof of that. She thanks the women she worked with like Trish, Lita, Molly Holly, Awesome Kong and Taryn Terrell. She’s at peace in making her decision to give up the title. She’s so excited to see what is next for Allie and the knockouts. She thanks the company, and the fans. She hands Borash the belt to “thank you Gail” chants.

– Joe Park is in catering and no one wants to talk with him for what he did to Grado. He tells Grado that he knows he’s Abyss, and that we’ll never see Abyss again. Park gives him his VISA, but a Mountie arrives and says he has no Canadian VISA and takes him away.

– Jimmy Jacobs arrives and joins commentary.
