Good, solid bout that told a nice story.
Callihan cut a promo saying everyone was chanting “draw” at him, showing how over a true male performer can be. He said he was tired of all the talk of the Knockouts Revolution. He called Tessa Blanchard out. Callihan said he had a bone to pick with her. She comes out here in high heels and is trying to show how tough she is. He said she isn’t going to do anything to him because he’s a male and he is Impact Wrestling. He said she wants to be treated as an equal and sometimes, you get what you wish for. He kicked her down. He said that’s what happens when a Knockout gets in the ring with a male. Tessa got up and speared him. The crowd chanted her name. She beat on Callihan until OVE hit the ring and broke it up. They held her down as he said, “Wrong move, b**ch!” and hit her in the gut with a baseball bat, then hit a piledriver.
Tommy Dreamer and D’Lo Brown got in the ring to check on her. She made it to her feet and was helped to the back.

Good match!
They had to delay the taping for a minute to eject a fan who, we are told, was harrasing the announcers. The fan had apparently been warned to knock it off and didn’t, so out he went!
Jordynne Grace came out to do commentary.
Madison Rayne vs. Kiera Hogan.
They went back and forth with Hogan making sure she was addressing Grace at ringside. The action was solid but the story was really about building the issues with Grace and Hogan. Kiera pie-faced Jordynne at one point. She nailed a spinning Perfectplex to get the pin. Hogan and Grace faced off, but Hogan left the ring when she entered.
Your winner, Kiera Hogan!

Back in the ring, Sabu was caught with a Hot Shot. Singh battered Sabu who responded with a right hand. Sabu nailed Air Sabu off a chair and then Genie did it. How is that not a DQ? Sabu nailed a slingshot legdrop and locked on a Camel Clutch for the submission.
Your winner, Sabu!
As a spotlight for Sabu, it was very good. Singh looked solid here as well.
Moose came out for a promo, wearing a suit. He said that when he was a fan, he used to watch Rob Van Dam on ECW TV and used to pull his seat close to the TV to watch him wrestle Taz, Sabu and Tommy Dreamer. Some fans were chanting, “Douche” at Moose. That was pretty funny. He said that he can’t be a fan of RVD because he realized he was just plain better than Moose. He said RVD has been around the world. He said he’s been around the world too. He said that RVD calls himself Mr. PPV but it’s been years since he was on PPV, so he’s going to give him a chance to validate yourself at Slammiversary. He said he had a video to get Rob’s attention. It was a video of Moose standing over a beat up Sabu filmed earlier today. He asked if he had the old man’s attention now.
RVD’s music hit and they had a pullapart brawl.
Gama Singh came to the ring for a promo. He cut a promo about what was wrong about the American culture. The fans chanted “USA.” He introduced Rohit Raju.

Impact Champion Brian Cage came to the ring for a promo. He called out Michael Elgin, saying it’s taken him 14 years to stake his claim as one of the best in pro wrestling. That’s why he has gold in his hands as the Impact Champion. He said that Elgin took that moment from him and ruined the biggest win of his career and even sent him to the hospital. The fans booed that. He said he sent an injured Brian Cage to the hospital but Michael Elgin is going to find out that you can’t break this machine. He said that at Slammiversary, he’s going to find out….and a doctor got into the ring. Cage killed the doctor with a F5. Elgin hit the ring and attacked Cage. He nailed Cage with a bucklebomb and hit a sit-down powerbomb. He stood over Cage and nailed him again.
Elgin went to the floor and pulled a table out from under the ring. He powerbombed Cage put of the ring through the table. The crowd chanted, “Holy sh**.” Elgin held up the Impact title to close the show. Don Callis got in Elgin’s face so Elgin nailed him and tossed Callis in the ring.
This may be a dark segment at this point…Cage returned to the ring and brawled with Elgin. Cage was tossing referees left and right. Cage nailed a F5 on Elgin to close the show.
That’s all from Impact Wrestling in NYC tonight!
