Jimmy Jacobs with Nick Aldis Interview: Aldis thanks the fans for their support. He reminds fans that Impact gave him his first chance at being a World Champion. Nick was here for six years and forged through the fire until he won the world title. He set the standard for what it means to be a world champion elsewhere and now he’s back with his sights set on the gold! Aldis asks Maclin if he understands what he holds. He warns Maclin that he’s ready to pounce and will usher in a new (old) era. Aldis says he won’t be attending Maclin’s ceremony tonight, but he will be watching.

Vignette with Sami Callihan: He talks about, talks about going through The Design’s seven steps. He didn’t care about shaving his head. The rest of the steps were to merely destroy The Design, and he’s not done yet.
Impact Digital Media Championship match: Sheldon Jean vs. Joe Hendry (c)
RESULTS: AND STILL Impact Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry! Joe Hendry defeats Sheldon Jean via pinfall with a Standing Ovation.
Impact World Champion Steve Maclin held a Changing of the Guard ceremony:
Maclin comes to the ring with men in camo shirts. In the ring, Maclin says Impact gave him an opportunity in 2021. He was able to do what he said he would and now his mission is complete! He is the World Champ. Steve planned to humiliate the former world champ in his home country, but now he’s issuing an open challenge. Scott D’Amore comes out. D’Amore says he never doubted Maclin’s ability to become world champion, but he takes issue with his execution. He could’ve stepped to Josh during his record reign but just didn’t. Scott asks Maclin if he’s ducking Aldis now.
Maclin hypes up Scott as a leader and recalls his recent Canadian Destroyer. Scott says he shouldn’t have thrown the belt in Steve’s face, but Maclin had his chance to fight him on Sunday. Instead, Maclin waited to attack him from behind. Scott says he rarely makes the same mistake twice. He takes his coat off and says he has the perfect Canadian for Maclin to face at Under Siege. PCO comes to the ring and clears it. Taking out everyone in sight. Security gang up on PCO until he breaks free and takes the fight to the champ. PCO hits a DDT before Maclin escapes and retreats up the ramp. PCO then spears two security members through a table in the corner. Maclin and PCO stare off as the show goes off air!
Next week, Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. Taylor Wilde for the Knockouts World Championship, Masha Slamovich vs. Jordynne Grace and more!
