Su Yung vs. Alisha: They lock up and Yung shoves her down. She follows with back elbows, but Alisha cradles her for 2. The flatliner follows for 2.Yung cuts of the head scissors, slams Alisha down and then chokes her out. Yung puts her in the tree of WHOA and lays in kicks The tower of London follows, and the cover gets 2. Yung pulls out the bloody glove, and then grounds her looking for the mandible claw. Alisha fires back and escapes, but Yung sends her to the buckles. Alisha fights off the hanging pedigree, and hits clotheslines. Yung gets the mandible claw, but Alisha counters into the backpack stunner for 2. The running knee strike follows for 2. Yung cuts her off and gets the claw again and Alisha is done. Su Yung defeated. Alisha @ 6:30 via submission [*] This was no good as it was slow and clunky, and had no energy to it.

– We go around the ring with Melissa Santos. Santos loves her coffee, but isn’t a big Starbucks fan. She loves being in Vegas, but limits her partying so she can sleep now that she’s a parent. Santos loves being a mom, and would love another child one day. She loves her time in Impact so far, and is really happy there. Santos loves the team atmosphere, and says she did train under Lelani Kai to wrestle. She’s happy not to have to take bumps anymore. Josh talks about his own transition out of wrestling to announcing, as they bond over the subject.

Beer Money vs. Lethal Consequences: This was a good match overall with both teams working hard, but was hurt by a flat finish and a crowd that Lethal Consequences could win. The match was basic, with Lethal Consequences playing the classic energetic babyfaces. They were good challengers, but again, the crowd never bought into a possible title change and it took away from the match. Champions Beer Money defeated Lethal Consequences @ 15:40 via pin [***]

Rosemary Goes to The Undead Realm: Rosemary heads to the undead realm with Allie chained up with her. They arrive and Hogan snuck in there with them. They meet with Jim Mitchell and his menagerie of freaks. Luchasaurus is there and Rosemary battles him and she mists him and kills him with a monkey wrench. Two more freaks attack and she kills them with a meat cleaver. Undead brides enter and Hogan grabs a sword and tosses it to Rosemary, who murders the brides. Su arrives and unchains Allie. They all fight, but Allie can’t bring herself to stab Rosemary. Mitchell stops things, kidnapping Hogan. Kevin Sullivan is revealed as the master and is disappointed with Rosemary. Su tries to attack and accidentally kills Allie. Allie turns back into her old self and her soul is restored. They have a tear filled goodbye, as Allie disappears to AEW. Well, that’s a hell of a write-off as they actually killed off the character Lucha Underground style. You either loved or hated this.

– End Scene.

The 411

This week’s episode of Impact XPLOSION was a solid but unspectacular show, and not as good as some of the recent weeks.
