After the Impact Plus Moment of the Week, Alisha Edwards and Ace Austin run into each other. She thinks that Austin is too overconfident in thinking that he is going to win the X-Division Championship on Sunday. He says that he wants her to go celebrate with him after he wins. He asks her to promise him that she'll go. She agrees, but doesn't sound like she wants to.

Impact Knockouts Champion Taya Valkyrie is talking to someone, but the audience can't see who. She is trying to hype herself up for her big title defense against Tenille Dashwood on Sunday. It turns out she was talking to her reflection in the mirror.

Winner: Rich Swann

With the tension building up towards the Impact World Championship, Sami Callihan makes a video about why he deserves to be the champion on Sunday. He backtracks and tells the tale of how he was always looked down on throughout his career for not being the "typical wrestler." He pours his heart and soul out in this haunting clip about how he never meant to hurt Melissa Santos a few weeks back. All his life, he just never knew how to fit in, and when he tries, he always screws it up. He begins to cry. All he wants is for the world to accept him for who he is. But, he looks at the camera and says that it's the world that created this monster that lingers inside of him. And that if people can't accept who Callihan is, then they can go "f?k themselves."

Back to the ring now, the fourth match of the night is the final X-Division Qualification Match!
