Opening sequence.
X-Division Title: Dezmond Xavier vs. Taiji Ishimori
OVE promises to take over everything tonight.
Video on American Top Team taking out James Storm and Moose trying for revenge. This show is starting to feel like a pay per view pre-show instead of a regular episode.
Flashback of the week: Aron Rex wins the first Grand Championship.
Video on Ethan Carter III vs. Matt Sydal for the Grand Championship.
Kongo Kong vs. Chandler Park
Kong gives Chandler a top rope splash and Joseph throws up the injury X. This is what the world was waiting for: more Kongo Kong.
Johnny Impact wants to take the World Title back to Los Angeles. Drake is from LA too, so does he want Eli to retain?
Alberto El Patron is in Detroit for the sole purpose of taking the Impact Wrestling World Title.
Eli Drake is ready to defend the title anywhere, including Detroit.
Impact Wrestling World Title: Eli Drake vs. Alberto El Patron vs. Johnny Impact
Rosemary vs. KC Spinelli
Post match Rosemary says she wants to face Laurel but has to wait for our favorite bunny Allie to get her chance. Rosemary wants the next shot but gets jumped by Hania, who has wrestled for Ring of Honor before. Hania lays her out with a reverse DDT on the steps.
Genesis preview.
LAX vs. OVE
The wire is still wrapped around Jake but Santana cuts him free so he can be Death Valley Driven through a barbed wire board for two. Dave spears Santana through a table to the floor, leaving Homicide to be tombstoned onto a chair wrapped in barbed wire for two. Sami loads up two tables in the ring but stops to piledrive Dave instead. A ladder is brought in but Konnan hits Callihan with a barbed wire bat. Ortiz stabs Dave with some wooden spikes and superplexes him through the two tables for the pin at 16:57.
