*SPOILERS* Impact Tapings For 10/18 And 10/25 From NYC
Thanks to Felix Farrow and MrEddyG for the following Impact Wrestling spoilers from Monday's tapings in New York City. These should air this Thursday, October 18 and next Thursday, October 25:
From Felix Farrow:
* Impact X Division Champion Brian Cage retained over Rich Swann. After the match, Sami Callihan entered the ring after the match and attacked Cage after a staredown. Callihan went to hit Cage with the title but Cage clotheslined him. Cage went for a powerbomb but oVe made the save, fighting Cage to the ropes and taking Sami to safety
* New Impact World Heavyweight Champion Johnny Impact came to the ring and talked about his Bound For Glory win over Austin Aries and how he always wanted to be world champion, how he's going to be a fighting champion. Rey Fenix came to the ring and they had a staredown. Rey congratulated Impact and challenged him to a title match next week. They shook hands and Impact said they might be friends but they will beat the hell out of each other for the title next week
* Killer Kross with Moose defeated Tommy Dreamer. Several ECW chants throughout the match for Dreamer. Moose ran in at one point but Dreamer hit him with the kendo stick. Kross hit a few power moves at the end and slammed Dreamer on his head. The referee stopped the match and ruled Kross the winner. Kross and Moose attacked Dreamer again after the match and he was helped to the back
* Taya Valkyrie defeated Katarina with the Impact Buster. McKenzie Mitchell interviewed Taya after the match and Taya said she lost all respect for Tessa Blanchard over how she beat her at Bound For Glory
* Ethan Page with Matt Sydal defeated Trevor Lee
* Allie with Keira Hogan defeated Alisha Edwards. After the bell, Allie attacked Edwards again until Hogan entered the ring and asked why. Allie snapped back to reality, acted like she didn't know what happened and checked on Edwards
* Pentagon Jr. with Rey Fenix defeated Homicide with King and Hernandez. After the match, Pentagon was triple teamed until Fenix made the save. The OGz got the upperhand when the brawl played out
* Impact Tag Team Champions The LAX retained over The Heavenly Bodies of WrestlePro
* Gama Singh defeated Rohit Raju. This was a nothing match. Singh did a big introduction before the match for this grand star competitor he was bringing to the ring but it turned out to be himself
* Su Yung defeated Keira Hogan with Allie. Allie tried to get involved later in the match but Yung used her voodoo powers to control her
* Moose and Killer Kross defeated KM and Fallah Bahh. Eddie Edwards attacked Moose with a kendo stick but Kross still made KM tap out
* Impact World Champion Johnny Impact retained over Rey Fenix. Really solid main event that was given plenty of time. Impact won with Starship Pain. After the match, Impact went to the back while The OGz ran in and beat Fenix down. Pentagon made the save with a steel chair but they escaped and had a staredown
* Xplosion: Ace Austin defeated Shawn Donovan in a pre-show match for Xplosion
From MrEddyG:
Xplosion:
* Brian Gallagher vs Ace Austin. Austin wins with an impressive leg drop from the top rope onto the back of Gallagher's neck while he's standing. About a five minute match.
Impact:
* Rich Swann vs Brian Cage for the X Division Title. Cage seems to be more aggressive tonight as he power-bombed Swann on a ring post outside. Swann hit two cutters-including a Lethal injection & a second rope 450 for a very close near fall, but the end Cage retained . Sami Callihan came into the ring after to get in Cage's face & highlights of OVE winning last night, Sami says the X Division Tile is his & grabbed the title & tried to swing at Brian, who ducked & was about to Sami before the Crists came down & Jake tried to help, but got destroyed with a Drill Claw! Cage stands tall as OVE retreated to the back.
The new Impact World Heavyweight Champion, Johnny Impact, is out next to a big ovation. He runs down Aries for his Twitter actions, and says he'll be a champion we can be proud of. Ray Fenix interrupts. He says he's been a champion everywhere but not here & challenges Johnny to a match "next week" which he accepts.
* Killer Kross w/Moose vs Tommy Dreamer. The end came when Tommy is ruled unable to compete as the referee stopped the match. Kross is pissed & throws the referee outside & applies his finisher & Moose came with his ridiculous outfit to lay out Dreamer one more time. The crowd was chanting for Eddie, but no one came to help except for more referees to take Tommy backstage.
* KO's match: Katarina vs Taya Valkyrie. Katarina is very aggressive early with a lot of hair throws & chokes. Taya comes back to win The Road To Valkyrie. Good effort from Katarina
though.
* Trevor Lee vs Ethan Page w/ Matt Sydal. Funny spot where Trevor raked Ethan's eyes in a corner; Page said to Sydal: "It's ok, Matt he only got two of my eyes." Sydal is trying throughout the match to get Lee to join them. Page wins with a Urange, & Trevor didn't join them.
* Allie w/Kiera Hogan vs Alisha Edwards. Allie's starting to act like she's possessed & working a more aggressive style. She slaps herself at one point before winning with her Codebreaker. Allie's not finished after the match & keeps attacking before Kiera pulls her off. Allie looks confused & tried to apologize.
* Homicide w/Hernandez & Eddie Kingston vs Pentagon Jr. w/Fenix. Homicide no sells a big chop early & spits at him! Hard hitting match with the crowd almost evenly split for both. Pentagon wins with a roll up. Hernandez attacked immediately after the match; Fenix tries to help but is taken down with a vicious cutter by Homicide. King comes in & whips both men with his flapjack after.
* Jigglo Justin & Bizzaro Justin vs the Impact Tag Team Champions L.A.X: Santana & Ortiz w/Konnan. LAX win with The Street Sweeper. Pretty good showing from the Justins in their debut.
* Gamma Singh is next & runs on about Rohit Raju's background to loud heat from the crowd & it looks like it's Gamma vs Rohit! Raju is reluctant to fight at first, and is attacked by a man with a shaved head & a beard-no idea who he is. The referee threw the match out but Singh goes on top of Rohit & the new guy makes a 3 count. Afterwards there appears to be no hard feelings as both men raise Singh's hand & they walk backstage together.
* Su Yung vs Kiera Hogan w/Allie is next. Su with an impressive Pedigree from the second rope while trying to get back into the ring for a near fall. As Su puts on her glove for the Mandible Claw Allie yells at her. Su points to Allie who appears to be acting possessed now. Su wins with the Panic Switch. The crowd chanted after to bring Kiera. Lol. And lots of chants for Scarlett & the Smoke Show.
* Fallah Bahh & KM vs Moses. Bahh's debuted a new move: going back on forth on the ropes as if a People's Elbow, but he stops & chokes Moose with his foot. KM & Moose eventually win. Another good match tonight.
* Main Event Time: Fenix vs Johnny Impact for The Impact World Title. Tremendous match from both men with Johnny retaining. Johnny leaves to the back first for Fenix to get a big ovation from the crowd & then the OGZ attack him. Homicide pulls out a fork before Pentagon chases everyone away with a chair.
