Rich Swann and Sami Callihan continued their bitter and disgusting feud tonight

Backstage, Glenn Gilbertti said that next week he'd prove to Scarlett Bourdeaux that a woman cannot be The Man.

Melissa Santos met with Gail Kim outside of management's office, where she said that she'll have to do what she has to do next week. Blanchard has her lawyers involved, so it's time to make a move.

The camera quickly cut to the left as we heard a commotion. LAX and the Lucha Bros were taking part in a backstage brawl. They beat each other down for several minutes before they were broken up by security. Konnan said it didn't have to be this way, but they need their rematch for the Impact Tag Team Championship.


Willie Mack made his way back to his locker room. As he walked in, Dave and Jake Crist went after him. Mack was prepared and beat them both down before walking out and locking the door behind him.


X-Division Championship Match: Sami Callihan vs Rich Swann (c)

Swann ducks a cheap clothesline and pelts Callihan with fists before levelling him with a flying forearm and a rolling cutter. Callihan went to the outside to escape his fury, but Swann followed with a dive.

Callihan sent Swann into the stairs and set them up for something devastating. Callihan looked to drop him spine first on the steel, but Swann fought out of his clutches. Callihan raked the eyes and looked for a piledriver onto the steps. Swann escaped and caught a jumping Callihan with a superkick.

The two continued to fight outside, and Swann connected with a second superkick. However, Callihan rolled away from a 450 splash and dropped him on the steel ramp with a suplex.

Back from commercial break, Callihan had Swann in the middle of the ring with a rear chin lock. Swann escaped and looked to pick up momentum, but was caught at the ropes with a forearm from Callihan. Callihan dragged him neck first into the ropes, hanging him up on the bottom tier.

After insulting the crowd, Callihan spat a ball of phlegm into his hand and chopped Swann across the chest before spitting another one in the air, nearly landing on the ref. Callihan tore at the mouth of the champion as he held him in a neck crank. Slamming him down, Callihan dropped an elbow and got a two count.

Back into a side headlock, Swann fought out, but was cut off by Callihan again with a kick to the gut and a right hand across the face. A sleeper hold was countered by Swann, dropping Callihan with a jawbreaker.

He escaped a corner and lit up Callihan with a striking flurry. A headscissors followed by two spinning back kicks sent Callihan into the corner. A super hurricanrana nearly gave Swann the win, but the Draw kicked out at two.

Back to their feet, Callihan turned Swan inside out with a clothesline, followed by a powerbomb and the Get Outta Here shoulderbreaker. Swann kicked out. Callihan set up for the spike piledriver, only for Swann to escape and deliver a series of varied kicks. A 450 again nearly gave Swann the win.

Callihan worked his way to the top rope again. An enziguri set him up for another super hurricanrana, but Callihan turned it into a release powerbomb. Swann escaped and was instantly trapped in the crossface, then the STF. Swann got his leg free and made it to the ropes.

Callihan shot a massive wad of spit into Swann's face, which fired him up. He connected with another rolling cutter, but Callihan kicked out. Callihan avoided the phoenix splash and went for the piledriver one more time. Swann rolled Callihan up for the win.

Results: Rich Swann defeated Sami Callihan via pinfall.

Callihan grabbed a chair and went back inside, but Swann stopped him with a kick to the side of the head. The X-Division Champion picked up the chair and looked to finish of Callihan once and for all, but was stopped by the debuting Mad Man Fulton. Fulton tanked a chair shot and spiked Swann.

Willie Mack came in to take on Fulton, but was overpowered with ease. Fulton held Swann still as Callihan drove a bat into his jaw, leaving he and Mack in a heap in the middle of the ring.
