The number one contender for the Knockout's Tag Team Championship was also determined as The Influence battled Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering. Rhino was summoned by Violent By Design, who demanded an answer from him.

The show's main event featured a massive street fight between W.Morrissey and Eddie Edwards as their rivalry reached another level. Let's discuss a few of the talking points from this week's IMPACT Wrestling. Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.


#5 X-Division Championship Tournament on IMPACT Wrestling

After it was made official that Josh Alexander would be exercising option C and will challenge for the IMPACT World Championship, it was announced that three triple threat matches will take place, the winners of whom will face each other at Bound for Glory in the finale.

The first match featured Trey Miguel, Laredo Kid and Alex Zayne in action. The bout opened the show with each man getting in a good amount of offense and getting their spot to shine.

In the closing moments of the match, Trey Miguel hit a flying double knee on Laredo Kid to secure the pinfall and advanced to Bound For Glory.

Next week on IMPACT Wrestling, Black Taurus, Steve Maclin and Petey Williams will be in action in the second triple threat match of the X-Division Championship Tournament.

At Victory Road, Maclin defeated Williams and TJP in a triple threat match. It will be interesting to see if the latter can get his revenge or if the former continues his domination and advances to the final.

#4. Heath returns to IMPACT Wrestling

After losing their tag team bout to Decay a few weeks ago on IMPACT Wrestling, Rhino was brutally attacked by the other members of the Violent by Design (VBD) faction.

Eric Young blamed Rhino stating that he allowed his sickness to crawl back into the group. They then gave him an ultimatum stating that he was either with them or against them and was seemingly going to attack him, at which point Heath made his return to IMPACT Wrestling.

Heath attacked all the members of VBD and sent them retreating. He stared at Rhino waiting for him to choose a side but the latter left through the crowd without choosing anyone.


#3. Number one Contenders for Knockouts Tag Team Championships crowned on IMPACT Wrestling

Last week on IMPACT Wrestling, The Influence demanded Gail Kim give them a shot at the Knockouts Tag titles but Gail stated she had already received the same request from Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering and hence, declared the bout for this week.

The match started with The Influence gaining the upper hand due to the outside interference from Kaleb . However, Jordynne and Rachael took back control and the former even delivered her signature splash on Madison but the count was interrupted as Kaleb put Madison's foot on the rope.

In the closing moments, Jordynne targeted Kaleb allowing Rayne and Dashwood to hit the Two Kisses on Ellering for the win.

#2. Christopher Daniels has a victorious in-ring return on IMPACT Wrestling

The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels made his stunning return to IMPACT Wrestling last week as he saved Christian Cage and Josh Alexander from a beatdown at the hands of Madman Fulton and Ace Austin.

He made his in-ring return this week as he battled Fulton in singles action. The two showcased their abilities with Daniels using his speed while Fulton used his power. Fulton distracted the referee, allowing Austin to interfere. In the closing moments of the match, Alexander evened the odds and fought off Austin, Daniels hit Angel's Wings on Fulton for one count but he followed it up with a Best Moonsault Ever for his triumphant return.


#1 W.Morrissey vs Eddie Edwards in a Street Fight on IMPACT Wrestling

The rivalry between W.Morrissey and Eddie Edwards became personal at IMPACT Wrestling's Victory Road, where the former attacked the latter's wife, Alisha. Last week, Edwards and Callihan were about to attack Morrissey when Scott D'Amore made the street fight match this week.

Earlier in the night, it was revealed that Sami Callihan was attacked by Moose due to which the latter was banned from the ringside for the match. Morrissey and Edwards dished out a lot of punishment at each other throughout the match but Edwards was able to secure the win with the help of Alisha.

After the match, Moose speared Edwards through a table. He then wrapped a steel chair across the latter's neck and rammed him into the ringpost. He took another steel chair and continued his attack as Alisha was forced to watch by Morrissey. IMPACT Wrestling went off air as Alisha tended to Edwards, who appeared severely injured.
