The cold open video package for tonight's PPV airs and the show is off and running. We head to the ring for our first match of the evening. The crowd chants "Return of the Mack" for Willie Mack before things get going. Swann hits a big enziguri on Sydal early on. Sydal talks some smack but Swann just ignores him and tags in Mack.
Mack drops Sydal with a shoulder block. Swann is back in and now Page is tagged in as well. The fans boo. Swann hits a dropkick and a hurricanrana for a near fall. Page knocks Swann down and tags Sydal back in. Sydal hits a big stomp off the top rope onto Swann's arm. Things build to a big spot where Sydal did a jump to the top rope into a hurricanrana on Swann, who while taking the move off the top then did a hurricanrana to Page.
It was executed perfectly, too. The finish in this one saw Swann hit a springboard cutter on Sydal and then follow up with a Phoenix splash for the pin and the win for his team.
It's now time for Eli Drake's open challenge to anyone in New York. From there, James Ellsworth comes out, just as our boy Rajah reported would happen earlier today! The fans chant "delete" at him. Drake said to the fans, "Wrong guy! Ellsworth said he once dated a girl from Staten Island and lived in her basement. From there, it was time for the two to get down to business. The fans are clearly behind Drake in this one. The segment didn't seem to go as those who produced it may have anticipated.
Anyways, the match didn't last long as two Gravy Trains got Drake the win. This was a pretty good match. Taya used the Road to Valhalla but the referee was distracted by Blanchard pulling the apron dressing into the ring.
Blanchard used the hammerlock DDT but Taya kicked out. They traded near falls ending when Blanchard flew off the top rope two-thirds of the way across the ring into a codebreaker for the finish. In one-on-one competition, Eddie Edwards and Moose will collide inside the squared circle in our next bout here inside the Melrose Ballroom in New York.
Moose was accompanied to the ring by three women. Two of the women held the ropes open for him and they all kissed him on the cheek. Edwards came out with a kendo stick. Killer Kross grabbed Edwards from the crowd. Thankfully, the company has never done a match like this again and for the safety of their wrestlers and the company's bank accounts that's a good thing. Now, I wouldn't describe what happened as I'm sure many of you already have seen or heard about it, however I will talk a little bit about the story surrounding the finish.
According to Austin Aries in a interview with Chris Van Vliet, the finish and sequence that came after the bell rang was indeed planned as Aries decided to play off the idea of people thinking his a prick and unprofessional while at the same time create a moment that people will be talking about for years to come and get more attention on Impact, in other words Aries was trying to work the marks who probably still believe the whole animosity leading into and after the match was real.
While plans to bring back Aries for a rematch was there, nothing really came of it with the contract negotiations being the main reason. Something Aries himself wanted all along.

Yung and Allie then had an ax fight but Allie eventually rescued Hogan from the coffin and got away. James Mitchell then revealed he would not grant them passage out of the undead realm. Rosemary then showed up to fend off Su Yung with some sorcery and black magic feasible only in the undead realm.
In the days leading up to this match, they started to blur the lines between reality and fiction through social media. They kept the theme up in this match by starting with a realistic MMA approach and stiff looking shots.
The stiffness kept up throughout most of the match. Taya was at ringside for Johnny and Kross and Moose were there for Aries.
In the closing moments, Aries was sent to the ropes and ended up doing a suicide dive into Taya. Johnny then capitalized on that by hitting Aries with his own brainbuster, followed by Starship Pain for the win.
