IMPACT cuts to post-show footage of Shamrock locking in an ankle lock to a referee. Shamrock however, doesn’t just isolate his focus on the official and hits his enabler Sami Callihan. He then continues to attack officials.
We then cut to Callihan with D’Amore who suspends Shamrock indefinitely. Sami agrees with with him and D’Amore seems a wee bit disgusted.
Tommy appreciates Rich’s title offer last week and recalls when he gave up his title shot for Terry Funk in ECW. Swann offers to handle most of the workload tonight, but Tommy wants to assure Swann that he’ll still be at the ready in case Rich finds a little trouble.
The Good Brothers hype up their match tomorrow at AEW Beach Break where they “BEAT UP JON MOXLEY!” They talk about potentially sabotaging Private Party. Enter James Storm and Chris Sabin. Storm states he doesn’t appreciate kicking his partner when he’s down and Sabin questions if they’re a couple of “balless wonders.” Good Brothers are unwilling to give them a title shot. Storm says they should give them a shot next week. Gallows and Anderson at the very least, agree to meet them face to face in the ring next week.
Madman Fulton (with Ace Austin) vs. Josh Alexander
Alexander goes to attack the base of Fulton but Madman strikes him off. Alexander doesn’t change his game plan and gets picked up for a release suplex slam. Madman beats Josh down in the corner and feeds his face into the turnbuckle before choking him with his boot in the corner. Madman then climbs the turnbuckle and grabs Alexander by the arms and pulls on him, forcing his face into the bottom turnbuckle. Alexander shows his resiliency and German suplexes Fulton who pops right back up.
He goes to lock the leg of Fulton but Josh gets booted out of the ring. Chokeslam onto the apron and then a chokeslam in the ring gets Madman a two count. Up top on the turnbuckle, Alexander and Madman fight it out. Alexander shows his strength with a powerbomb. Double underhook piledriver gets Alexander the hard-fought W.

Brian Myers walks out with an eye patch on over his left eye. Very “Snake” Plissken. He feels somewhat responsible for the shape he’s currently in. The Most Professional Wrestler Brian Myers vs. The Most “Unprofessional” Wrestler Eddie Edwards. Eddie used to be different. After all, he was trained by Killer Kowalski who now is rolling in his grave. He wants to challenge Eddie to a match at No Surrender, but because of his condition, he can’t do that. Eddie comes in to attack Myers, but out comes Hernandez for the save. Myers said he can’t face Eddie, but Hernandez can. Out comes Cardona and clears the ring for Eddie.
Blackjack is going down backstage as the Swingerellas watch on and Fallah Bahh loses his shirt (not literally). Johnny Swinger himself comes in and counts the cash as Alisha advocates for John E. Bravo to get paid more. Swinger seems content with keeping the dough.
After the break, Eddie Edwards thanks Cardona for the save. Matt says he doesn’t know what Bitter Brian’s deal is. Eddie pitches tagging up to face Myers and Hernandez at No Surrender and Matt is “Alwayz ready.”
Crazzy Steve (with Rosemary) vs. Larry D (with Acey Romero)
Bell rings and the two men immediately slug it out. Steve corners him and give Larry an elbow before getting shoved off.

Steve gets back up on the apron and goes to bite Larry D once more, but D slugs him hard and gets the pinfall.
WINNER: Larry D
Post-match, Rosemary stares down XXXL who cautiously walk off.
Gia Miller is backstage with Trey Miguel. Since he’s been in IMPACT Wrestling, he had two crutches and that’s the only way everyone’s seen him walk. Now there’s no better time to show him that he can stand on his own two feet. A brief glitch allows Sami Callihan to enter the picture. He tells Trey to calm down and he’s not going to attack him. The Rascalz aren’t even a month removed and he’s already throwing him under the bus. Sami talks some trash, telling Trey to reassess himself. That fires Trey up and Sami still walks off.
There was no hesitation when it came to confronting Rosemary and Crazzy Steve to XXXL. Doesn’t matter how scary Rosemary is, they aren’t afraid of her. Enter Tenille. She offers her services to hit Rosemary. Larry D is game for the alliance.
Susan (with Deonna Purrazzo & Kimber Lee) vs. Jordynne Grace (with Jazz)
Susan takes off her specs and hands them to Deonna. She then goes to take off her sports jacket, but Jordynne runs out of patience. She begins to fling Susan around and covers for a two count. Grace corners Susan who pulls the official in front of herself. Susan takes the moment for a cheap shot and to toss Jordynne out of the ring. Lee and Deonna attack Grace and send her back in to Susan for a one count.
Susan chokes Grace over the ropes with her knee and then talks trash to Jazz. Ref goes to admonish Jazz and this allows Lee and Deonna to attack Grace further. Grace gets back in the ring, but soon gets tossed by Susan once more. Chaos breaks out at ringside and Grace finds herself back in the ring to trade strikes. Three slams by Grace gets a near fall on Susan. Grace hits a running elbow in the corner to Susan. Jazz takes out Deonna and Lee and this allows Grace to hit her driver finisher for the three count.
WINNER: Jordynne Grace
Post-match, Deonna and Lee go after Jazz and Grace, but who comes out but ODB! She takes out Susan, Lee and Deonna to send the trio running.
Big Money Matt is with Private Party. He always has a plan. Private Party could win the tag team battle royal tomorrow on AEW Beach Break. He hates to use the word “bounty”, but there is an incentive for Private Party to secure both the AEW and IMPACT tag belts. Matt has everything under control, he just needs Marq and Isiah to “show up.” They reassure him before we cut to break.
The two Tonys appear to give you the most exciting three minutes of the entire show. The Tony that is Khan states that he let Jon Moxley fight in NJPW after he said he wouldn’t let it happen. He’s riding on emotion and is making decisions based on that. He’s also liked the stuffed shark on Tony Schiavone’s head.
ODB celebrates with Jazz and Jordynne backstage. She’s not against an alliance.
Rohit Raju vs. TJP
Rohit starts off with the offense as he stomps TJP in the corner. TJP however comes back with a dropkick and a crucifix/octopus hold. Rohit makes it to the ropes.

A flurry of running strikes in the corner by Rohit. He leaps off but TJP gets his boots up to dizzy Raju. TJP tumbles out of the ring and out comes Mahabali Shera to attack him. He sends him back in the ring to Rohit who makes the most of it and gets the pinfall.
