The ripcord cutter follows, but Bravo throws in the stuffed dog. Rayne tosses it into the crowd and Taya hits a knee strike and the road to Valhalla for the win. Champion Taya defeated Madison Rayne @ 11:45 via pin [**] This was ok, but felt really lethargic, with a really flat finish.

– Jordynne Grace arrives and takes out Bravo as Taya escapes.

– Gama yells at Desi Hit Squad for being losers. Shera has gone to India on a spiritual journey. Bhurpinder Singh makes his debut and may replace one of the losers.

– Singh tries to attack the ref with no legs, Petey makes the save, the ref hits a 619, destroyer by Petey and the ref follows with a top rope 450.

– Ace meets with Alisha in the hotel as she looks to go and get comfortable and gives Ace a blindfold. Ace strips down, puts on the blindfold and places the X-division title over his dick. Eddie arrives, caressing his face and beats the shit out of him, and Alisha follows with kendo stick shots and chases him down the hall. This turns Eddie on so he makes out with Alisha on the hotel hallway floor.

– Johnny Swinger meets with Petey and tries to make him his young boy. Petey refuses and Sami & his crew arrive. They make fun of Swinger and head to the ring.

Sami Parties: Sami, Jake, Dave, & Fulton arrive to continue the party. Jake does his intro for Sami and Sami runs down the crowd and tells them to appreciate him. He’s been partying since last week, he told us so and became the champion. They have partied all over. Tommy Dreamer interrupts. Dreamer says Sami ruined last week because he’s a bully and troll. The worst part is Sami thinks he’s a draw but it’s not true, the people busting their asses in the back are. Sami calls him fat Dreamer and then corrects himself and calls him Mr. Fat Dreamer. Sami challenges him to a fight.

Dreamer, Daga, Swann, & Tessa vs. oVe: They all brawl on the floor, oVe starts to take control until Dreamer crotches him into the tree of WHOA. The dropkick with a chair assist follows. Dreamer works over Dave, bites Jake and Fulton then cuts him off with end of days. Daga cuts him off with a tornado DDT, enziguri and missile dropkick. Sami dumps him and Swann attacks. He follows with RANAs, but Sami dumps him. Tessa is in and they brawl. the cutter follows and follows with a dive to the floor. Swann is cut off by Fulton, they work up top and we get a tower of doom. Daga follows with a dive, but Sami attacks Tessa an dumps her. Swann hits lethal injections and cradles Sami for the win. Dreamer, Daga, Swann, & Tessa defeated oVe @ 5:50 via pin [***] This was good, especially for the time given, but I think it was a mistake having someone pin Sami one week after winning the championship.

Overall I found this week’s episode of Impact to be a solid show that started out good, faded in the middle but, rebounded a bit in the end; a fine program.
