Before IMPACT Wrestling's Victory Road pay-per-view, the go-home show featured a massive 10-man tag team main event between the teams led by IMPACT World Champion Christian Cage and his challenger Ace Austin.
Cage's team featured Sami Callihan, Eddie Edwards, X-Division Champion Josh Alexander, and Chris Sabin. Meanwhile, Austin had W. Morrissey, Moose, Brian Myers and Madman Fulton on his side.
Petey Williams sought revenge on TJP after the latter cost him his match against Steve Maclin last week. Decay faced VBD (Violent By Design), including a reinvigorated Rhino after the teams crossed paths recently.
"Drama King" Matthew Rehwoldt looked to close the chapter on his rivalry with Trey Miguel as they collided in one-on-one action on IMPACT Wrestling. Their involvement in the feud between Mickie James and the Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo brought the rivalry to a boiling point.
#5 VBD betrayed Rhino on IMPACT Wrestling
IMPACT Wrestling kicked off with a tag team bout between Decay (Black Taurus and Crazzy Steve) and VBD (Rhino and Deaner). Last week, Savannah Evans and Tasha Steelz stole the Knockouts Tag Team titles from Rosemary and Havok. Decay set out on a search for the thieves when they came across VBD.
Rhino initially blindsided Taurus and attacked Steve on the apron. VBD dominated the contest before Steve made a brief comeback and went for a failed high-risk maneuver. Towards the end, Deaner accidentally hit Rhino with the VBD flag. This gave Steve enough time to deliver a DDT from the top rope on Deaner to secure the win.
After the match, Eric Young blamed Rhino for the loss despite Deaner taking the pinfall. Taking advantage of the situation, Deaner took a cheap shot on the accused, which led to all three members of VBD attacking The War Machine.
#4 Steve Maclin takes out TJP and Petey Williams on IMPACT Wrestling
Last week on IMPACT Wrestling, TJP cost Williams his match against Steve Maclin. The two X-Division legends had a back-and-forth bout this week as they exchanged wrist locks and headlocks before Williams gained the upper hand. TJP made his comeback with a plethora of offensive maneuvers.
In the closing moments, they countered each other's attempts at delivering the Canadian destroyer. Both countered each other's pinfall attempts until Petey Williams outclassed TJP for the win.
Both competitors showed respect towards each other before Maclin hit the ring and took them out. He hit TJP with the latter's broom. IMPACT later announced that the three of them would battle each other at Victory Road Pay-Per-View.
#3 Willie Mack is back on IMPACT Wrestling; Title match announced
A few weeks ago on IMPACT Wrestling, The Good Brothers lost to Rich Swann and Willie Mack and injured the latter. Rich Swann retaliated with a steel chair two weeks ago, leading to a Bunkhouse brawl between Karl Anderson and himself last week.
Gallows and Anderson mocked the duo in a backstage interview and bragged about putting Mack out of action. At this point, Willie Mack showed up in the parking lot on crutches. However, it turned out to be a ruse as he and Swann attacked The Good Brothers before security split them up.
Swann and Mack later approached IMPACT Wrestling's Executive Vice-President Scott D'Amore for a shot at the IMPACT World Tag Team Championship. D'Amore granted them the title match at Victory Road as both had defeated the champions a few weeks ago.
#2 Mickie James and Deonna Purrazzo get physical
This week on IMPACT Wrestling, Trey Miguel and Matthew Rehwoldt battled in a back-and-forth contest where the former won by submission. Following the match, Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo hit Trey with a low blow.
Mickie James then hit the ring and attacked the champion as a brawl erupted between the two. Officials tried to separate them, but Mickie had the last laugh as she executed a top rope frog splash on Purrazzo and Rehwoldt.
The rivalry between the two women have further intensified with this brawl.
#1 Team Christian (Christian Cage, Josh Alexander, Chris Sabin, Sami Callihan & Eddie Edwards) vs. Team Austin (Ace Austin, Madman Fulton, W.Morrissey, Brian Myers & Moose) at IMPACT Wrestling's main event
Last week, Ace Austin tried to goad Scott D'Amore to put IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Christian in a match against Madman Fulton to weaken the former. But D'Amore suggested a 10-Man Main Event for this week's show instead.
Both the champion and the challenger assembled their teams for the star-studded main event. The match kicked off with Callihan and Austin in the ring. After a tussle, Austin managed to drag Sami into his corner, where everybody tried to tag themselves in. This led to a stand-off between the two sides.
An interference from Sam Beale helped the heels gain the upper hand. But the faces came through until Team Austin cornered Eddie Edwards. Once he found an opening, he tagged Christian and Morrissey tagged Myers. Morrissey broke a pinfall attempt on Myers, which led to another brawl.
Alexander made the tag at the end as Eddie Edwards flattened everyone with a superplex outside the ring. The faces emerged victorious after the X-Division Champion pinned Myers with a C4 Spike and closed out the go-home show for IMPACT Wrestling's Victory Road.
