On last weeks episode of Impact, Moose thought he could get a head start before Slammiversary XVII, by attacking Rob Van Dam during his tag team match with Sabu against The North. Just when Moose thought he had the upper hand in the beat down, the other ECW legend, Tommy Dreamer came out to protect his two friends. After Jessicka Havok's in ring return debut, which finished with a clean victory, Father James Mitchell had some very strong words to say to Rosemary. He wanted Rosemary to know that he did not bring Havok back to not only destroy Rosemary, but to take away any future opportunity she may have at going up against the Impact Knockouts Champion for the title. Instead, he sees the title belonging to Havok. Speaking of Knockouts, Tessa Blanchard has had enough with the men's division, specifically with Glenn Gilbertti and Sami Callihan putting down the Knockout's division. She wants a match with someone from the oVe family so she can teach them a lesson. In the main event match, Michael Elgin picked up a win against Willie Mack. Though he won, that did not stop him from attacking everyone in the ring, including Johnny Impact.

Josh Mathews welcomes everyone to Impact. The first match of the night is a singles match.

Tessa Blanchard vs. Jake Crist

Blanchard goes for several forearm attacks to Crist. He pushes her to the mat. Blanchard gets up and flies out of the ring, three times.

Blanchard fires back with more forearms, Crist turns it around with a submission. After the submission is broken, Crist plants Blanchard to the mat and puts her in a front face lock.
