Last Sunday, wrestling fans around the world witnessed one of the most intense, yet exhilarating pay-per-views that Impact Wrestling does ever summer, Slammiversary XVII. If you haven't seen Slammiversary you can go here to see the full results. With the aftermath of Slammiversary, a new set of questions arise. Will some of these feuds be officially over? Could we see new contenders for title opportunities for the Impact World Championship all the way to the Knockouts Championship? Tonight, fans will get to witness what exactly is next for the stars and Knockouts of Impact.

Don Callis and Josh Mathews welcomes fans to tonight's episode. This episode of Impact Wrestling will recap everything that happened at Slammiversary XVII, as well as interviews with several wrestling authority figures about these events. Tonight's main event will be a tripe threat Knockouts match with Jordynne Grace vs. Kiera Hogan vs. Madison Rayne.

The first match that is discussed is Moose vs. Rob Van Dam. Moose won the match via pinfall. Van Dam put up a good fight, but Moose used ever attack he has ever known to counter attack anything that Van Dam threw at him. Callis and Mathews also mention that Moose could possibly be in the Impact World Championship picture because of how successful he's been since signing with the company.

Next on the discussion board is the first blood match between Eddie Edwards and Killer Kross. For about a month or so, Kross taunted Edwards, especially after breaking Edwards companion, a kendo stick named Kenny. Edwards went on the attack and asked to be forgiven for that. Kross didn't want Edwards to ask for forgiveness, instead he wanted Edwards to bring that darkness with him in their match at Slammiversary. Kross' attire at the pay-per-view event unveiled just how demonic Kross could become. Some say his face paint reminded them of wrestling legend Vampiro from back in the day, especially with the cross that was right in the center of his forehead. The match brought a lot of emotion, but Edwards succeeded and made Kross bleed.

Back from the break, Callis and Mathews introduce another wrestling figure to talk about his thoughts about the fatal four-way Monster's Ball for the Impact Knockouts Championship, the "Zombie Princess," Jimmy Jacobs

Jacobs' stated that he thought the match was out of this world, but thought that the best one that shined was the current Knockouts Champion, Taya Valkyrie. He beliefs that those who might not look like they can get in touch with their dark side are always the ones that surprise you, and that is what Valkyrie did to retain her title. Callis forwarded that thought and agreed that Valkyrie is a great champion and that her name should headline more often because of how powerful she can be in the ring.

Coming back from the break, the Impact Tag Teams Championships match is discussed. The Friday leading up to Slammiversary, The North shocked the Impact fans when they beat LAX at Bash at the Brewery and became the new champions. Because of that, the match became a triple threat as The North defended their titles against the Rascalz and LAX. So many flips and tricks were displayed in the match, but The North retained their titles.

Along with the recap footage that was shown, Impact officials also released a clip of what happened after the tag team championship match and the aggressive message that Konnan had for The North.

After the commercial break, the tag team match with Johnny Impact & Michael Elgin vs. Tommy Dreamer & The Great Muta from A Night You Can't Mist, courtesy of IMPACT Plus, is shown.

Back from The Moment of the Week clip, Callis and Mathews welcome Dreamer and talk about his experience teaming with Muta. They then proceed to talk about the main event match of Sami Callihan vs. Tessa Blanchard in an intergender match. This event brought many firsts, the first time that a female competitor was in the main event match of a Impact pay-per-view, as well as the first time they had an equal rights match up. This match set the bar high as to what's to come down the road in this feud and other feuds between male and female wrestlers in Impact.

After the break, Petey Williams came in to the Impact War Room to talk about the X-Division match between Rich Swann and Johnny Impact. Williams thought that Impact hit everything and pulled out all the stops, but thought that Swann just was many steps ahead, which helped him win and retain the title.

The final match that the Impact team talks about is Brian Cage vs. Elgin for the Impact World Championship and all the chaos that fueled this big slobber knocker. Elgin tried to put some severe damage on Cage, trying to make him not show up to defend his title. Elgin's plan backfired, when Cage came in and dominated the match, which helped him win and retain the title. This was also the match where former Impact wrestler Rhyno made his comeback. Scott D'Amore chimes in on his thoughts about the match.
