Review: Solid tag match between two good teams, I do think the Briscoes future in Impact is brighter than matches with Rhino and Heath but theyre a good stepping stone as they move their way up the Impact ranks. I love the Briscoes in Impact as they immediately slot in as a top team and add a lot to an already great tag team division. 

– Moose is backstage and tells Scott he just gave them the best damn match they’ve ever had and this is how he gets repaid. Scott tells Moose he’d rather spend time with Josh than Moose sure but he gave him his time to be champion. Scott tells Moose he’s looking at things wrong, he needs to go out there and be the best. Scott tells Moose that the winner of tonight will face a handpicked opponent at Under Siege and he thought Moose would be up for that. Moose says he doesnt give a damn who he faces at Under Siege because he’s going to win tonight he insults Josh and his family before walking off.

– They show a sweet video package for EGV and Tom Hannifan says something warped is certainly on its way. If the rumors are true i’m STOKED.

Rating: **3/4
Review: This was shorter but that’s not a bad thing the match itself was decent, Gujar is clearly still growing as an inring worker but he has such high upside and is good now just shows moments of opportunity to grow for sure. This was a solid step in the right direction and somewhat of a significant victory for Gujar.

He tells us why he deserves to be that challenger after his recent wins, he asks what happens when a walking weapon or a wrestling god meets man, he answers it’s tag em bag em for all.

Review: This was a fun tag match and the numbers got the best of Bailey and The Guns. I really don’t think it’s the best move to bet Bailey like this but I see they’re building up something between Bailey and Shelley but I think it’s a bit early to beat someone who has the momentum that Bailey does right now.

Magic Killer on Kenny King in the ring and the Bullet Club stand tall over Honor No More as Taven and Eddie watch on pissed from the ramp.

Review: I really enjoyed this match, especially the finish. I get why Tasha loses here as her heel work got the best of her but it does seem inevitable that she loses the championship to Rosemary which is an interesting move if they go that route. I’m not saying they have to it just seems she is way stronger than Tasha.

– The Influence are back with All About Me but they’re interrupted by Giselle Shaw. Madison asks if she’s stalking her because she saw her already once.

I like that they took the time to give this a big fight feel with the entrances and ring announcing.

Rating: ****1/4
Review: This was such a good match and it only could’ve benefitted from more time to really get into it but they gave a TON and delivered yet again this time for a televised match. I was skeptical to see this yet again but its smart to let Josh finish this up and move forward. His next challenger is yet another BIG one and while i’d expect Josh to win it’s going to be a significant victory none the less. It now makes a lot of sense why JONAH lost at Rebellion.
Post match: Ishii comes out and gets face to face with Josh and points at the championship. Josh tells him to go for it and they stand face to face to close out the show.
