Johnny Swinger vs. Mike Jackson

Johnny Swinger gets on the mic. He claims to have persuaded a young buck, M. Jackson to compete against him here tonight. The music hits and out comes Mike Jackson, a former professional wrestler who is now 70 years old. There’s no backing down from Mike as he lists off the things he doesn’t like about Swinger, namely how he puts down the younger talent in the locker room. Jackson says he’s going to kick Swinger’s butt tonight. The bell rings and the match is underway.

Jackson takes control in the early going and shocks the world with a Hurricanrana, followed by a dive to the outside. Jackson hits a single-arm DDT. Jackson goes old school as he climbs the ropes and walks Swinger all the way around the ring before hitting him with a clubbing blow. Swinger attempts a double ax-handle off the top but Jackson cuts him off with a shot to the gut. Jackson takes his straps down, signifying the beginning of the end. Swinger quickly gets Jackson into a pinning predicament and puts his feet on the ropes for leverage to steal the victory.

Winner: Johnny Swinger

Four-Way Tag Team Match
The Rascalz (Dez & Wentz) vs. XXXL (Acey Romero & Larry D) vs. Reno Scum vs. TJP & Fallah Bahh

The first pinfall or submission will decide this matchup. Two competitors are legal at any time and you can tag anyone, not just your own partner. Dez catapults Thornstowe into a superkick and double foot stomp from Wentz. Dez hits a handspring Pele on Fallah. XXXL sandwich Luster in the middle of the ring. Larry D and Acey soar through the air, crashing into their opponents on the floor. Fallah takes out Thornstowe with a Samoan Drop, followed by the Kobe Splash from TJP to win.

Winners: TJP & Fallah Bahh

Post-match, reigning Tag Team Champions The North come to the ring and stare down TJP and Fallah, presumably their next Tag Team Championship challengers.

In something out of line with the values of Cancel Culture, RVD and Katie Forbes publicly display their affection for each other.

Madison speaks on Kylie’s upcoming match against Kiera Hogan at Rebellion. Kiera praises her opponent while Madison tries to pry something negative out of her for once. Madison brings out her next guest, Kiera Hogan herself. Kiera tells Kylie she’s going to humiliate her and show her why there are no friends in the Knockouts division. Shockingly, Kylie tells Kiera that she’s not very nice before storming off.

Tenille Dashwood returns to the ring tonight. Tenille takes control in the early going as she dives off the apron, crashing into Taya on the floor.

Bravo’s involvement continues as he chokes Tenille on the ropes while Taya distracts the referee. Taya connects with her signature running knees in the corner.

Contract Signing: Sami Callihan and Ken Shamrock

Shamrock is sitting at the table when Callihan storms out and forces Josh Mathews to leave. Callihan praises Shamrock for all of his career accomplishments but claims this is his most important match because he will be stepping into the ring with The Draw. Callihan mentions Shamrock’s family and Shamrock almost loses it. Callihan threatens that he can make bad things happen with the press of one button on his phone. Callihan insults Shamrock, causing the World’s Most Dangerous Man to charge at the ICU hacker. Callihan presses the button and lights go out. When they come back on, Callihan is gone but there are numerous figures wearing ICU masks. Shamrock follows one backstage and into the parking lot. The figure gets into a car and drives away. Shamrock gets into the back of a truck and tells the driver to follow it. Shamrock’s phone rings and it’s Callihan telling him to tip the driver. The driver turns around and he too is wearing an ICU mask. The mysterious figures surround the car and begin to rock it back and forth as IMPACT! goes off the air.
