Impact Wrestling Results (May 17th, 2019): World Champion suffers significant spinal trauma

Michael Elgin was caught backstage, where he was asked why he was focused on injuring other talents. Elgin said that he's decided that he enjoys hurting people. He's sent Impact World Champion Brian Cage to the hospital, followed by Pentagon and now Willie Mack, and he said he didn't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Rich Swann came out to defend his friend, getting in a brawl with Big Mike, leading to a match later on in the night.

Next up was the Demon Collar Match. After over a year of bad blood brewing between these two, Rosemary and Su Yung would finally try to end their masochistic rivalry tonight. The rules were simple, similar to a bull rope match. Both competitors were chained together, this time chained at the neck, and the winner could only be decided by pinfall or submission.

Demon Collar Match: Su Yung vs. Rosemary

Both knockouts tried to end it quick, spraying mist at each other to no avail. Rosemary took over quickly, wrapping the chain around Su Yung's neck and tossing her across the ring. Rosemary locked Yung in the Upside Down on the ropes, then dropped her to the ground.

The Demon Assassin came down on the other side of the turnbuckle, pulling the chain across the top and choking Yung out. Back inside, Rosemary pandered to the crowd, allowing Yung to recover, rolling outside and pulling her into the steel ring post. Tied up in the corner, Yung repeatedly pulled her face first into the post.

She set up a chair and placed Rosemary in it, then took her out with a rolling senton from the apron. Eventually, the supernatural competitors rolled back inside. They traded blows, but Yung tripped Rosemary up with the chain. She tried to whip her several times with the chain, only for Rosemary to avoid the assault, driving her down with a reverse DDT.

Rosemary went for a German suplex, but Yung rocked her with the chain, catching her right in the nose. Rosemary kicked out. Yung brought her back to her feet and sent her head first into the middle turnbuckle with a head scissors. An elevated Pedigree from the middle rope nearly secured the win for Yung, but Rosemary kicked out.

Yung broke out the glove and took Rosemary down again with the Mandible Claw. Though she held it for several seconds, she didn't go for a pin. Yung went up top, but was yanked off and met with green mist to the face. Rosemary cut her in half with a spear and spiked her head first with the Red Wedding.

Rosemary dragged Su Yung by the chainout of the arena. For now, it appears that Rosemary has finally won the Dark War.
