IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds saw Moose finally get his hands on Kenny Omega. Would Mr. IMPACT Wrestling finally win the championship that's been evading him for years? Would fulfill his destiny, or would Kenny Omega slay the Wrestling God?
Save for the X-Division Championship, every IMPACT Wrestling title was on the line tonight. As far as that goes, though, we got a fantastic No. 1 Contender's five-way to determine Josh Alexander's next challenger. Rosemary looked to end the Era of the Virtuosa and claim the Knockouts Championship.
Both tag team championships were defended tonight as well. However, we got a stellar show-stealer between Joe Doering and Satoshi Kojima. These two hosses had a hellacious war that was worth the price of admission alone.
All that plus Rich Swann battling W. Morrissey, Jordynne Grace vs Tenille Dashwood, and more. We kicked off with a Street Fight between former IMPACT Wrestling Tag Champions The Good Brothers and Tommy Dreamer and Sami Callihan.
IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds Street Fight: The Good Brothers vs Sami Callihan and Tommy Dreamer
Tommy Dreamer and Sami Callihan divided the opposition, with the Hardcore Icon going after The Big LG while Callihan took on Karl Anderson. The Draw of IMPACT Wrestling saved Dreamer with a chair and swapped opponents with his tag team partner.
As Callihan drove Doc Gallows' face into a steel chair, Dreamer rang the ring bell into Karl Anderson's groin. Callihan rocked Gallows with a pump kick, leaving the Good Brothers recovering on the floor as Dreamer and Callihan went to the back.
The former IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions were already struggling, and it wasn't going to get any better as Callihan and Dreamer returned with trash cans full of weapons. Callihan bounced a can off Karl Anderson's dome before focusing again on Gallows.
As The Draw continued to batter the big man, Anderson hung Dreamer up on the barricade and pelted him with a pan. Gallows finally got some offense in, battering Callihan with a steel chain and cast iron frying pan. With Callihan disposed of on the floor, The Good Brothers looked to finish off Dreamer.
Anderson left a chair in the corner before bouncing Dreamer's face off of it. They followed up with a running kick (Anderson) and big body splash (Doc Gallows) that dropped Dreamer for a two-count.
Callihan fought back, hitting a diving clothesline on Gallows. However, the Gun Stun hit the former IMPACT Wrestling World Champion. Dreamer responded with a cutter of his own, and followed that with a Dreamer DDT on Gallows. With Gallows and Callihan down, Dreamer and Anderson brawled before the Machine Gun planted the legend with a spinebuster.
The Good Brothers pulled out a table, looking to end the opposition to Don Callis and IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Kenny Omega. Dreamer followed Anderson to the top after the table was set up, looking for a superplex. That was blocked, but the Death Valley Driver looked to be Dreamer's ticket to victory.
Gallows rocked Dreamer with a boot before he could hit it, and the Magic Killer sent Dreamer through the wood. Callihan made the save before pulling out his signature bat. The Callihan Slugger cracked the Good Brothers several times before one final shot to Anderson's head sealed the deal.
Results: Sami Callihan and Tommy Dreamer defeated The Good Brothers via pinfall at IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds

Williams hit a floating dropkick on Raju before slamming Bey, dropping Raju on Bey with a bulldog. A dropkick to Raju left Petey splashing down on Bey, and Maple Leaf Muscle was on fire.
Bey caught Williams with a headscissor takedown, though, following with an enzuigiri for a two-count. Ace Austin rolled Bey up with a cradle, but couldn't pin Bey. The Ultimate Finnesser, Williams, and Raju were caught on the floor with a dive from Trey Miguel, who then stunned Ace Austin with a superkick.

Raju fell to the floor while Bey kicked out at two-and-a-half. Petey Williams hit Austin with a slingshot codebreaker and a tilt-a-whirl Russian leg sweep.
The flatliner planted Austin face-first, and the multi-time IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion was set to deliver the Canadian Destroyer. Austin stopped it, taking Petey to the corner. Petey blocked a running hurricanrana and a superplex before spiking Austin with a top rope Canadian Destroyer! 1-2-no, Trey Miguel just breaks up the pin, and this IMPACT Wrestling match continues.
Trey dropped Petey, but as he moved up top for the meteora, Madman Fulton returned. The giant laid launched Trey onto the apron head first before running through the rest of the field with ease. Fulton managed to hit Raju, Trey, Petey, and Bey with a powerbomb, two chokeslams, and a World's Strongest Slam all at once.
In a shocking turn of events, the referee opted to rule this one a no-contest.

W. Morrissey vs Rich Swann at IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds
The former IMPACT Wrestling World Champion struggled to bring down W. Morrissey. The size difference was insane, as Rich Swann spent several minutes just trying to cut down the big man. Eventually, Swann was able to send Morrissey to the floor and follow with a dive.
However, back inside the ring, a springboard crossbody was countered when Morrissey booted Swann out of the sky. Morrissey hammered Swann with clubs to the spine before letting him drop from the apron to the floor, with gravity doing all the work.
With that, Morrissey could have ended this one at any time. In the ring, the ref tried to check if Swann wanted to put a stop to this. Morrissey laughed in the face of IMPACT Wrestling's greatest underdog before trying to tear his jaw off. Swann was launched like a ragdoll while Morrissey set up for a big splash in the corner.
Swann avoided a boot near the ropes, crotching Morrissey and sending him to the floor again. A flying kick off the steps rocked Morrissey, leaving the big man down on his back. A 450 on the floor connected, as did another in the ring. Still, Morrissey kicked out.
Swann rocked IMPACT Wrestling's newest monster with a superkick and followed that with the Phoenix Splash. Morrissey picked him up mid-pin, rolling backwards and planting Swann with an F-5. Swann spun out of a chokkeslam attempt, but a handspring cutter was countered with a boot to the lower spine.
Two powerbombs left Rich Swann out on the mat. As Morrissey looked down at him, Swann flipped the big man off. A third powerbomb crushed Swann in an incredibly dominant win.
Results: W. Morrissey defeated Rich Swann via pinfall at IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds.

Dashwood and Kaleb made fun of Grace after the match, which was a terrible idea. Grace ran in and spiked Kaleb with a Michinoku driver. However, they may have gotten the result that they wanted, both pinning Grace and getting inside her head.
Brian Myers was still teaching Sam Beale backstage when Jake Something stepped into frame. Before he walked off, he gave Beale some advice, namely not to listen to Myers.

IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Championship: Decay vs Violent By Design (c) (Deaner and Rhino) w/Eric Young
Crazzy Steve challenged Eric Young to let Deaner defend the IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Championship tonight. The former and current student of EY, Young wanted to prove that Deaner had what Steve did not.
Decay dominated Deaner early on. Black Taurus ran through Deaner after Steve spent several minutes out wrestling the champion. The former IMPACT Wrestling World Champion told Deaner to tag in Rhino, and the War Machine went to battle with Black Taurus.
Taurus went after the arm of the legend, wearing down Rhino before tagging in Crazzy Steve. Rhino took over Steve, and Violent By Design seemed to have everything in control. Unfortunately for Deaner, the second he tagged in Steve escaped and got to Taurus.
Rhino cut Taurus down with a clothesline, letting Deaner maul him from inside the ring. VBD continued to wear down the monstrous luchador. Taurus, after several minutes, caught Deaner with a cross body and managed to get to his partner. Steve trapped Deaner in a crossface, and the former IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champion almost picked up the gold again.

The Demon Assassin of IMPACT Wrestling dominated the early minutes of this title bout. After battering Deonna Purrazzo repeatedly, Rosemary synched in the Upside Down in the corner. Purrazzo was dragged to the floor, and Rosemary took her to the ramp for an exploder suplex.
Deonna Purrazzo responded by wrapping Rosemary's arm in the ring post and nearly breaking it with a nasty pump kick. With an injured arm, Purrazzo only needed to lock in Venus Demilo to secure victory over a former IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion.
Several armbreakers and submission holds left Rosemary writing in pain. Purrazzo knew that, at this point, this was hers to lose.
Rosemary and Deonna collided in the middle of the ring, giving Rosemary a chance to shake some feeling back into her arm. Rosemary managed to trap Deonna with a Last Chancery attempt, but her arm was just too damaged to keep the pressure up. Rosemary did manage to block a Venus Demilo attempt, going for a DDT.
Deonna blocked and was able to synch in the Venus Demilo right in the middle of the ring. With a shoulder nearly hanging by a string, somehow Rosemary dragged herself to the ropes with her feet. Purrazzo was forced to break it up.
Purrazzo pulled off Rosemary's knee brace but was cut down with a spear. She kicked out just in time, and was able to finally put away Rosemary with a piledriver.
Results: Deonna Purrazzo defeated Rosemary via pinfall at IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds.

IMPACT Wrestling World Championship: Moose vs Kenny Omega (c) w/ Don Callis
The IMPACT Wrestling World Title was defended tonight in a separate location from the rest of Against All Odds, as we saw Moose battle Kenny Omega at Daily's Place. Omega taunted Moose before the match began, as Scott D'Amore and Tony Schiavone on commentary reminded us that The Good Brothers were not in the building.
Moose and Kenny Omega locked up, with the 5-star athlete sending Omega to the apron. The IMPACT Wrestling World Champion tried to go for a headlock, but Moose stood straight up. After a clothesline failed, Moose had his eyes raked by Omega.

Moose found himself on the floor, and leapt up with an incredible vertical jump to the apron. Omega booted him off before going for a tope con hilo, crashing on top of Mr. IMPACT Wrestling.

The lights went out, and when they came back Sami Callihan was standing in the ring. Callihan battered Omega and the Bucks with the Callihan Slugger. Don Callis ran out to try and stop Callihan from hurting "his family."
Callihan set a chair up over Omega's face similar to the night he broke Eddie Edwards' face. Callis, in response, fired Callihan from IMPACT Wrestling, allowing Omega to get out as Callihan blew a gasket.
