By Bryce Cameron

Welcome to our WrestlingINC.com Live Impact Wrestling Viewing Party. Our live coverage starts at 8pm ET. Please share coverage of tonight's Viewing Party on social media and chime in with your thoughts in the Comments section below.

The final Impact before No Surrender begins now! This is going to be an incredible show. The card appears stacked from start to finish.

The show opens with a video package recapping the opening events of last week's episode of Impact. The removal of Josh Alexander is a huge blow to Team Impact. A replay of Moose's brutal chair attack on the back of W Morrisey's neck is also shown.

Moose kicks off the show for an in-ring contract signing segment with Scott D'Amore. Moose acknowledges the chaotic nature of contract signings, and he points out Morrisey's absence. He also alludes to the possibility of Morrisey missing this weekend's championship bout.

D'Amore vows to give Morrisey the next two days to make it to the match. He professes his faith in Morrisey's ability to show up. Moose warns D'Amore that if Morrisey shows up this weekend, he's stepping into the ring with a wrestling God. Moose brings up D'Amore sending home Josh Alexander for being a hothead and says he won't send home another one for being a hothead.

D'Amore shrugs off Moose's comments and asks him to continue through with the contract signing. Moose tells D'Amore to prepare to send another talent home after this weekend. Moose signs the contract and walks out of the ring with the title in hand.

On the ramp, Morrisey makes a surprise appearance and lands a big boot on Moose's face. His eyes are set on the destruction of Moose. Morrisey launches Moose off the stage in a continuation of the violent ambush.

He hits Moose with a massive chokeslam off the stage to put an exclamation mark on the assault. Morrisey signs the contract, and the World Championship match is now OFFICIAL.

Commentary gives their official predictions for the championship and their faith is firmly behind W. Morrisey.

Backstage Gia Miller catches up with The Bullet Club. She references their six-man tag match later tonight. However, Chris Bey interrupts. He promises to win the fatal four-way match for the X-Division Championship at Impact Wrestling's No Surrender.

Jay White says he will give The Bullet Club three wins at Impact Wrestling's No Surrender. He claims it's not fair for Eric Young to have to face him. He says Eric Young is trying to create a bootleg Bullet Club on Impact. Jay White wants to give VBD a taste of what Bullet Club's all about.

Masha Slamovich vs Kiah Dream

Commentary isn't giving Kiah a chance in this one. They're ready to witness Masha maul her like a bear. Masha starts with a headbutt on Kiah and follows it up with a powerful Hammer. This match could be over, but Masha isn't done. She's enjoying herself too much.

Masha lands a Russian Dip Device on Kiah and remains undefeated. It was short and sweet and to the point. Masha continues to plow her way through the Knockouts division.

Winner: Masha Slamovich

Triple Threat #1 Contenders Match: Ace Austin vs Blake Christian vs Laredo Kidd 

Triple threat matches are often a lot of fun, and this shouldn't disappoint. The actions starts fast and furious.

With Kid in the corner, Christian nails a forearm splash of his own. Christian completes a split-legged moonsault off the second rope, but he fails to capitalize in time to win. Christian leaps out of the ring and hits a double reverse DDT onto both opponents. Perfect precision!

Commentary puts over all three as a threat to Trey Miguel's championship at Impact Wrestling's No Surrender. All three are showing out. Christian lands another dive through the ropes taking out both Austin and his security Fulton. The crowd's chanting "this is awesome", and it's hard to disagree with that.
