Welcome to Wrestling Inc's live coverage of Impact on POP, which will begin at 8pm ET! Be sure to leave your feedback in the comments section, share our coverage of tonight's episode through social media, and REFRESH for the most up to date coverage. Below is what's on tap for tonight's show.

- Recap from earlier in the week with Alberto El Patron showing up for the Redemption Press Conference, but then no showing Friday's Lucha Underground vs. Impact Wrestling show. At that show, we see Austin Aries announcing Pentagon Jr. and Fenix will take place at Redemption for the Impact World Championship. We see clips of matches from the show and comments from Willie Mack, DJZ, Eli Drake, Matt Striker, and Tommy Dreamer. The common thread between all of the comments is coming together to show off more pro wrestling to the fans.

- Eli Drake out to the ring with two cases in-hand. Drake says it's not often that he's wrong, but he's going to admit it. Crowd with the "What?" treatment and Drake says "Huh?" back to them a bunch of times and tells them "Shut up dummies." Comments on Chris Adonis leaving the company and says he has a tag partner in mind when he goes up against the Impact World Tag Team Champions, LAX. LAX heads out to the ring and Konnan demands to know what fool would actually team up with Drake.

Out comes Scott Steiner who calls the crowd white trash and gives a recap of his career, tells Millennials to go on their cell phones and look him up. "I'm world famous, b—-!" Konnan makes fun of Steiner's speaking skills and says no one disrespects LAX. He then calls out that Drake can't trust Steiner because he might not show up or might just beat up Drake before the match even gets started. Konnan calls Drake a "future has-been" and Steiner a "has-been." Drake gets in some lame jokes, his music plays first, but Konnan cuts it off and says the champions music should play, not the ex-champions.

- In Studio, Josh Mathews and Sonjay Dutt preview some of tonight's match. They then talk about how Pentagon Jr. and Fenix have been added to the Redemption PPV. Also, Rosemary vs. Taya Valkyrie in a Demon's Dance Match in tonight's main event. Mathews will be taking on Petey Williams tonight.

- GWN Flashback, Jade vs. Rosemary in a Six Sides of Steel Match. Rosemary hits Jade with mist, Red Wedding, and Rosemary picks up the win.

Sami Callihan vs. Moose

Callihan out to the ring on his own, Moose getting a fast start in this one thus far. Callihan grounded in the corner and Moose hits a running dropkick. Moose tires to chop his opponent, but he rolls to the floor, Moose follows and still hits a chop on him. Both on the apron, step-up enziguri, springboard kick, and a suicide dive lands clean on Moose. Callihan out to the floor and lights up Moose's chest with some chops.

Moose with a powerbomb on the apron, picks up Callihan and lands another flush on the mat. Both in the ring now, Moose behind Callihan who grabs the ref and lowblows Moose with a kick as we go to break. Another kick by Callihan, cover, two. He tries for a bunch of chops, but Moose starts up the "Moose" taunt and looks to hulk up, brother!

Eddie Edwards runs out and momentarily helps Moose out, but Callihan smacks him with a bat to stop that. oVe stretches him out for another swing and Edwards' wife (Alisha Edwards) runs out to stop them. Callihan turns his attention to her and the lights suddenly go out. When the lights go up, Tommy Dreamer is in the ring with a kendo stick and clears out the ring.

Dreamer gets on the microphone and says oVe has been trying to start a revolution, but he has solders in Moose and Edwards to fight them off. At Redemption it will be a 6-man House of Hardcore Match.

- Josh Mathews and Matt Sydal out to the ring. Mathews talks how it's rare he's in the ring, talks about losing his title to Austin Aries, and how how he's going to defeat Petey Williams.
