Fresh off of the 'ReDefined' episode and their excellent tour of the UK with the Impact Wrestling Vs UK special, Impact Wrestling rolled on with another jam-packed show of wrestling, and I have to say what a blast this was!
We were told to expect a match between the Lucha Bros and the Cult of Lee, a heavyweight clash between Brian Cage and Kongo Kong, and that Fallah Bahh and KM had a big plan to shock the Impact Wrestling fans!
We got all of those things and much more as another match is made official for Impact Wrestling's big upcoming pay-per-view Bound for Glory, and Austin Aries ends up defending his Impact World Title in the main event

So, without further ado, lets take a look at this weeks episode of Impact Wrestling, who were the winners and losers, and what else went down?
#1 Austin Aries, Killer Kross and Moose open the show
Austin Aries, Killer Kross and Moose come out and take a seat on a pair of golden couches in the ring. Aries drags Johnny Impact, and Moose disrespects Eddie Edwards and his wife. The trio are then interrupted by Fallah Bahh and KM.
KM says that Aries is a liar and a bad world champion, and Aries insults Fallah Bahh. However in the end, before things get heated, Aries offers a peace offering. He is going to give Fallah Bahh a World Title match later on in the night, and the pair shake hands.
The match is then made official by Impact. It was nice to see a confrontation between a sinister heel group and a babyface comedy act not end in violence in any way. It was quite refreshing in fact!
#2 Pentagon Jr and Fenix Vs Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley
This was less of a competitive match and more of a showcase for Pentagon and Fenix to truly show some of the awesome things the pair are capable of to build towards their Bound for Glory match
I'm not saying that Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley were jobbers, they were perfect opponents for the Lucha Bros, providing a safe conduit from which the two luchadors could strut their stuff.
After a bunch of high-flying moves from both teams, the match was finished with a brutal looking Double Foot Stomp and Piledriver combination from the Lucha Bros onto Trevor Lee. Great tag team action!
Result: Lucha Bros def. Cult of Lee
#3 oVe challenge Lucha Bros and Brian Cage
After the match oVe appear on the screen and says they want to be seen as the best trio in the world. In order to do that they are challenging Fenix, Pentagon Jr and Brian Cage to a match at Bound for Glory. But it's not just any match, it's an oVe rules match.
The video package from oVe was hilarious with Jake Crist mimicking Sami Callihan and Dave Crist looking at him with almost disgust. Could Sami Callihan be driving a wedge between the two brothers?
#4 Fallah Bahh and KM ask Eli Drake for help
We get our first backstage promo of the evening. KM has a plan for Fallah Bahh heading into the latter's Impact World Title match in the main event. They're going to go and ask Eli Drake for help! Why not as well, he's a former Impact World Champion after all.
Drake is less than helpful as he doesn't rate Bahh's chances of beating Austin Aries, and eventually tells Bahh to get a bowl, much to the confusion of Bahh and KM.
#5 Allie and Tessa Blanchard
On last week's episode of Impact Wrestling, during Su Yung's contracted Knockouts Title rematch against Tessa Blanchard, the 'Undead Bride' almost managed to take Blanchard away in a coffin. However, Allie and Kiera Hogan appeared to save Blanchard from her grisly fate.
We then get a couple of backstage promos, first from Allie and Kiera Hogan. Allie reveals that she helped Blanchard because she made a promise that what happened to her, Madison Rayne and Rosemary would not happen to anyone else, she added that Su Yung's reign of terror isn't over.
We then cut to Blanchard's side of the story, and she says she sees through Allie and doesn't need her help
#6 Alisha Edwards Vs Katarina
This was less of a match and more of a way for the storyline between Joe Hendry, his best friend Grado, and Katarina. The two women are in the ring and the bell rings, prompting Hendry and Grado to come out.
Grado tried to cut a promo but was too upset so couldn't. Joe Hendry took the microphone and revealed he had a new music video for Katarina. The song is 'Access Denied' and it's about Hendry saying 'no' to Katarina. It's pretty great and there's even a Paul Burchill shout-out.
Alisha takes advantage of the distraction to roll Katarina up from behind to pick up the victory, much to Katarina's anger.
Result: Alisha Edwards def. Katarina
#7 Johnny Impact's health status
Following the vicious attack from Killer Kross, Austin Aries, and Moose last week, there were some doubts over Johnny Impact's health and whether or not he'd make it to Bound for Glory. Those things were cleared up by a Skype call between Josh Matthews and Austin Aries' future title challenger
#8 LAX Vs Fraternity
LAX have been on a tear of late, proving they are one of the best tag-teams in the world. However, the newly debuting Fraternity (Channing Decker and Trent Gibson), gave Santana and Ortiz a harder time than I think they were expecting.
In fact, Channing Decker and Trent Gibson controlled the match for most of its duration. However LAX who has already wrestled against Ring Kampf, Jody Fleisch and Jonny Storm this week, managed to pick up the win with the Street Sweeper.
Result: LAX def. Fraternity
After the match the OGz surround the ring and Eddie Kingston cuts a promo saying he regrets that the kid he ran over is still breathing, in an attempt to provoke them to break the ceasefire.
#8 More backstage promos
First we catch up with Austin Aries, who reveals he enjoys giving out gifts, but after tonight Fallah Bahh will be gone and there'll be no-one to face him in the Bound for Glory main event.
We follow that up with more storyline development between Matt Sydal and Rich Swann, as Swann encourages Fallah Bahh and then bumps into Sydal who tells him to open his third eye again. Swann isn't impressed.
#9 Brian Cage Vs Kongo Kong
Brian Cage and Kongo Kong are up next in a battle of the big-men, and what a great match the two put on. The match starts with the two colliding like locomotives charging into each other and continues like that throughout.
Both men are impressive for their size, with Kong hitting a Cross Body over the top rope and Cage hitting a Moonsault. However, Cage triumphed over Kong with a Roaring Knee, into Clothesline, into F5 combo
Result: Brian Cage def. Kongo Kong
Brian Cage then accepts oVe's challenge, but hopefully they weren't watching as it seems they may have bitten off more than they can chew!
#10 Austin Aries Vs Fallah Bahh - Impact World Title match
This was one of the most fun matches I've seen in a while. The story was simple, Impact had built it up all episode, this was going to be Bahh's moment, but Aries wasn't having it. Aries' plan was to wear the much larger and less agile man out with speed and quickness.
Bahh surprises Aries with a Shoulder Block and then maintains some momentum. After a series of trades Bahh goes for the Steamroller, but Aries brilliantly reverses it into the Last Chancery.
Aries made Bahh look like a star in this match, and played the near falls from Bahh perfectly, with there being several instances that had me convinced that Bahh had just won the title in a shock. Alas, it wasn't to be with Aries hitting a Sunset Flip Powerbomb followed by another Last Chancery, causing the referee to end the match and declare Aries the winner
Result: Austin Aries def. Fallah Bahh
After the match, the villainous trio of Aries, Kross, and Moose tried to attack Bahh, but KM intervened. The three men then massacre KM with the Necklace Conchairto to close out the show!
