Impact Wrestling is back on our televisions! This episode of Impact Wrestling was pre-recorded from Western Fair District Agriplex in London, Ontario, Canada. On the card this week is Trinity vs. Savannah Evans, Eddie Edwards vs. Yuya Uemura and more. Continue below for the complete results.
Bully Ray in-ring promo:
He says, talked about putting Impact President Scott D’Amore through a flaming table at Under Siege. Bully says there’s nobody better in the business at putting people through tables than him and when you really piss him off, he puts them through a flaming table. Ray said he’s going to Against All Odds to win the 8-4-1 Tournament, then he will win the Impact World Title at Slammiversary. Impact World Champion Steve Maclin comes out and had words with Bully. Bully backed off and acknowledged Maclin as champion. Then Maclin said they can make a good tag team but if they fought at Slammiversary, that’s fine also. The Motor City Machine Guns came out and Alex Shelley took exception to their claims to the title because he plans on winning it at Against All Odds. Ray says Shelley is one of the best but that he’s never won the World Title, and that Chris Sabin isn’t as great as him. Sabin reminded Ray how he beat him for the World Title 10 years ago, but Ray taunted him for having a short reign. Shelley said he knows he can beat Maclin because Maclin is not Josh Alexander. Sabin challenged Ray and Maclin to a tag team match. Ray said that’s a great idea, but it wasn’t happening tonight. SUBCULTURE then came out and challenged The Guns to a match tonight, and they agreed.
Jimmy Jacobs Backstage with Nick Aldis:
He calls Kenny King a fine athlete and looks forward to their next match. Aldis talks about the uniqueness of the 8-4-1 match. The former NWA and TNA World champion promises to win and become the next Impact world champion.

After the match, The Design hit the ring and laid out Callihan and Crist until Rich Swann made the save with a steel chair.
