- We look back at the alliance that began with Rohit Raju, Shera, Ace Austin and Madman Fulton last week. The only man who didn't come out during that collision was Chris Bey. Currently backstage, Bey tells Gia Miller that although the X-Division roster is forming alliances ahead of their Ultimate X matchup at Slammiversary, Bey refuses to join anyone's group. Petey Williams and Trey Miguel, two other stars set to be in this matchup, inform Bey that he better learn to take a side now or go in that match the lone wolf with everyone after him.

Backstage: Gia Miller talks to Tommy Dreamer, who fired Don Callis last week on Anthem's behalf. Miller wants to know how Dreamer is feeling after making that big announcement. Dreamer says he hates to be the one to have delivered that bad news, but it's what's best for business. EVP Scott D'Amore comes into the frame and thanks Dreamer for being so professional last week.

D'Lo Brown and Josh Mathews run through the matches still to come on tonight's show! The second scheduled Knockouts match is about to take way!

Purrazzo waits for Susan to leave the corner. Susan leaves, and Purrazzo locks her up with a tight side headlock. Susan falls to the mat and picks herself up. Susan yells out, "Submission time." Purrazzo doesn't let Susan lock her up. Purrazzo begins to toy with Susan and her arm.

Purrazzo continues the onslaught by stomping away on Susan in the corner. The referee tries to create some separation. Kimber Lee checks on Susan. Purrazzo and Lee start to argue. Purrazzo demands Lee to throw Susan back in the ring. Lee talks to Susan and makes sure it's ok before pushing her back in. Purrazzo holds Susan in the straitjacket position. Purrazzo clocks Susan. Susan is out cold. Purrazzo climbs on top for a cover. By the 2.5 count, Purrazzo raises Susan up to break the pin. Purrazzo is enjoying the torment she's putting on Susan.

Post-Match: Purrazzo applies a Venus de Milo on Susan. Kimber Lee runs in to put a stop to this. Purrazzo screams out at Lee that she is done with both of them and retreats up the ramp.

At Swinger's Palace: Willie Mack and Rich Swann make their way in to make some money. TJP and Fallah Bahh are also there. Bahh is curious to know if Swann and Mack are back to being a tag team again. Swann informs them that they never stopped being a tag team. Then, both teams start to out-talk each other on who deserves to become the next contenders for the World Tag Team Championship. They think they should battle it out next week.

Backstage: Don Callis finds Tommy Dreamer and tells him he has no hard feelings towards Dreamer for firing him last week. Callis thinks Anthem did a good job picking Dreamer as the new EVP. Callis wants to run an idea on him. He thinks Omega and The Good Brothers should face three guys Dreamer thinks would be a great pairing for his guys. He looks forward to their Team Callis versus Team Dreamer matchup. This will take place next week!

 Rohit Raju & Shera vs. Petey Williams & Trey Miguel

Petey Williams and Rohit Raju kick things off. Williams puts Raju in a waistlock. Raju turns it around with a tight wristlock.

Miguel lands a jawbreaker and a standing dropkick to the chest of Raju. Miguel and Willaims join forces with double knees onto Raju before Williams makes his way back in. Shera is also tagged in. Shera throws Willaims out of his way. Shera drops Williams with a huge powerslam just before the commercial break.

He pulls his phone out and starts recording this wild brawl. Bey remains on his own.

Backstage: Sami Callihan is having a chat with Tommy Dreamer. Gia Miller asks Dreamer if Callihan will be joining his team next week. Callihan says if this allows him to throw a few shots in and foretell what he's going to do to Kenny Omega at Slammiversary, then he's in. Moose walks into the frame and says he's in, too. It looks like Dreamer found two of the best on Impact to represent him. So, who's the third person?...

In the Ring: Rachael Ellering asks Jordynne Grace to come join her in the ring so they can clear the air. Jordynne Grace's music hits, and she makes her way down to the ring. Ellering begins the conversation by apologizing to Grace for causing a strain in their partnership. With anger in her voice, Grace says before Ellering ever came along, she was on top of the Knockouts mountain. Although she admits their partnership was good, Grace says she's tired of hearing about Tenille Dashwood, who's been trying to disrupt their alliance. All of a sudden, Jazz's music hits, and she comes out to talk to both of them.

Jazz believes what these two are going through is just a hurdle. She thinks Grace needs to take her ego down a notch. Ellering chimes in to say she doesn't want all the blame to go on Grace. Ellering wants them to resolve their issues and team up again. Grace says she needs some time to think about it and leaves the ring.

This gives Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb (with a "K") an opportunity to try and persuade Ellering to join her group. Ellering reiterates that she does not want to join Dashwood's group. The only time she wants to be in the ring with Dashwood is if it's for a match. Then, Ellering takes it upon herself to challenge Dashwood to a match. Dashwood pretends to think about it and lunges towards Ellering. Ellering ducks and plants a spinebuster on Dashwood. Kaleb rescues Dashwood and takes her out of the ring.

Backstage: Brian Myers is still giving Sam Beale pointers on how to be the best pro wrestler out there. Beale will put his skills to the test, next!

Sam Beale (w/Brian Myers) vs. Jake Something

Jake Something drops Sam Beale on the ground after their collar and elbow tie-up. Something continues the onslaught with a shoulder tackle that sends Beale to the outside. Something climbs out of the ring and puts a little fear into Brian Myers, who is back up and away from the powerhouse. Beale slams Something into the ring post and gives Myers a thumbs up. But Beale's momentum is cut short after Something catches Beale with a big slam. Something isn't done there! Out of nowhere, Myers throws a chair in, trying to get Something disqualified. Mad by Myers' antics, Something tears Beale in half in the corner before connecting his Black Hole Slam finisher. Cover. 1-2-3. Something picks up the win.

Winner: Jake Something

Post-Match: Myers wants Sam Beale to take notes on Jake Something, who he calls an unprofessional wrestler for "bringing in a steel chair."
