The show starts off with “Switchblade” Jay White entering the IMPACT Zone and he’s soon joined by Chris Bey for singles action.
MATCH 1
Chris Bey (with Jay White) vs. Juice Robinson (with David Finlay)
Bey immediately takes it to Juice, but Juice fires back with some head punches. Bey pokes Juice in the eye to regain control. Robinson rolls to the outside. Bck in the ring, Bey connects with a top rope shotgun dropkick. Two count. Bey chest kicks Juice, but on the fourth attempt, Juice grabs his leg. A stalling suplex attempt gets turned into a reverse sleeper by Bey. Juice jostles free by crashing Chris into the corner. He goes for a cannonball attempt, but Bey rolls out of the way. Bey hits a Fame Asser for a near fall.
Bey goes for a standing moonsault, but Juice gets his knees up. Spinebuster, but Juice can’t cover. He flings Bey into opposite corners before nailing his cannonball. “Juice” chants He “Road Doggs” Chris as Finlay and White brawl on stage. This allows Bey to hit the Art of Finesse for the 1-2-3.
WINNER: Chris Bey
Post-match, Jay White offers Bey a Bullet Club shirt. He’s officially in.
Backstage Gia Miller is with The Elite. Don Callis says you can take any three wrestlers in the world and the same result will go down. Kenny asks Gia what she thinks is going to happen? Give them anybody you want. IMPACT is looking for anyone to be their white knight to save the day. Enter Violent By Design. They’re reenacting they’re rematch clause at Emergence.
Back from break, Fire N Flava talk about their rematch against Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering. Kiera Hogan says after Tasha Steelz took the L with Fallah Bahh in the IMPACT Homecoming tournament she now knows what a good partner is. Tasha snidely agrees.
The lights go out and when they come back on “The Drama King” Matthew Rehwoldt. Tonight he shares his spotlight as The Homecoming King wtih his queen, The Virtuosa, Deonna Purrazzo. Out comes the champ.
“No one likes you” chants begin to echo the IMPACT Zone. Deonna waits for the jeers to settle (as it is her coronation after all). She’s been racking up accolade after accolade since she came to IMPACT. She goes over those accolades. “No one cares” chants. Everybody knew that she was the uncrowned queen of the Knockouts Division, but Homecoming made that official. Mickie James comes out. Deonna once again is not pleased. Mickie knew she’d feel that way, but her Empowerrr match has not been made official. She has a contract for her to sign. Deonna says before she even signs this, she needs to to see who her opponent is. Out comes NWA’s Melina.
