This was a fast-paced match that was very good but it was hurt by the fact that they are in an empty building with no fans. Bey won the title after hitting a cutter.

Shamrock went for a high kick but accidentally hit Callihan in the head to knock off the apron. Shamrock hit a belly to belly suplex on Alexander off the top rope and then Shamrock went for a dive and he crashed hard to the floor as Page and Alexander moved out of the way.

Purrazzo got in most of the offense in the first several minutes of the match but Grace was finally able to turn things around. At one point, she had a choke on Purrazzo and it looked like the match was about to end but Purrazzo was able to roll out of it. Later in the match, they traded German suplexes and then Purrazzo hit a pump kick, a kick to the arm and the pendulum snap suplex for a near fall.

Impact World Championship
Ace Austin vs. Eddie Edwards vs. Trey vs. Rich Swann vs. Eric Young
Rich Swann was announced as the mystery entrant but then Eric Young walked out and announced that he is also in the match. Madman Fulton was caught interfering for Ace Austin so the referee told Fulton he must leave the ringside area. A few minutes into the match, Young was cut above his eye and he was bleeding. Trey looked incredible in this match. There was a spot where he slid through the ropes and hit a Destroyer onto Swann at ringside. Trey ended up eliminated by Young after getting hit with the jumping piledriver. Austin and Edwards were sent crashing from the top rope into a table at ringside when Young picked up and pushed Swann into them while in the powerbomb position. Swann scored a surprise roll-up and pin to eliminate Young. This happened after Young hesitated on a piledriver attempt. Young then attacked Swann’s leg with a chair. Swann continued in the match but he was favoring the leg and that allowed Ace Austin to hit the Fold finisher to pin Swann. The last two men in the match were Austin and Edwards.

Edwards was able to hit the Boston Knee Party but Austin kicked out of the pin attempt. Austin hit The Fold but Edwards kicked out of the pin attempt.

It looked like they were there to help Austin and Fulton but it was a swerve and they were there to help Edwards. Gallows and Anderson and Edwards cleaned house. The faces celebrated with beer in the ring. As they went off the air, a video played of EC3. He smashed a glass on a wall so it looks like he is back with Impact.
