IMPACT Wrestling Emergence Night One is here, and three titles were on the line tonight. Of course, in the main event, was the incredible IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Championship rematch. At 100%, could The North regain the gold, or would the Motor City Machine Guns pin "The Best in IMPACT" for the second time in a row?
Moose also put his TNA World Title up against Trey, who he thought was Suicide last week. After finagling a title shot out of Moose, would Trey be able to pick up his first championship in his IMPACT Wrestling career?
All that, plus The Good Brothers taking on Ace Austin and Madman Fulton, as well as a Wrestle House match between Kylie Rae and Taya Valkyrie. We kicked off IMPACT Wrestling Emergence Night One with the X-Division Championship three-way match.
IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Championship: TJP vs Rohit Raju vs Chris Bey (c)
TJP started off the match laying out Rohit Raju and Chris Bey with a big dive over the ropes. Bey stayed on the floor as TJP worked over the Desi Hitman. As Raju was sent to the floor, Chris Bey rolled in. TJP's springboard apron dropkick was countered when Raju shoved Bey out of the way.
Bey was caught in a modified sharpshooter, and TJP took Raju overhead with a northern lights suplex as well, looking for a pinfall or submission victory at the same time. Bey broke the pin up, thus ending the submisison. Raju laid out TJP with a big clothesline, but didn't hold the upper hand for long.
TJP, somehow, was able to lock in a pair of submissions on Bey and Raju again. Bey countered a Gory Special into a roll-up, but TJP escaped, trapping him in a sharpshooter. As the former IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion attempted to add an armbar to the move, Raju broke it up with an elbow.
A malfunction at the junction saw Bey accidentally lay out Rohit Raju. TJP caught Bey with a springboard crossbody. A tombstone piledriver spiked Bey, but the Mamba Special was prevented when Raju shoved him off the turnbuckle.
Bey held TJP up in the electric chair, but TJP sent him into the turnbuckle before bringing Raju over for a superplex into an anbdominal stretch. Bey ran in to break it up, but was caught in the abdominal stretch as well.
Raju escaped, and TJP planted the IMPACT Wrestling Finesse-Division Champ with a modified S.O.S. Raju stunned TJP with a leaping knee and laid out the challenger with a series of strikes in the corner.
Bey countered a tiger driver and planted TJP with an over the shoulder spin-out DDT. Miraculously, TJP was able to kick out. Bey's Art of Finesse was blocked, and a chicken wing gutbuster rocked the champion. TJP managed to trap Bey in the Regal Stretch.
Raju yanked Bey out of the hold, again saving the champion. TJP took him out, though, with the springboar dropkick. As TJP moved to the top for the Mamba Splash, Bey chased. As they fought on the top, Raju interrupted once again. As Raju launched TJP across the ring, Bey was trapped in the tree of woe.
Raju took advantage, driving his feet into Bey's face with the double stomp, giving him his first IMPACT Wrestling Championship in his career.
Results: Rohit Raju defeated Chris Bey via pinfall to become the new IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion.

IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House
John E. Bravo and Crazzy Steve are seen playing with the stuffed dog and monkey, a sentence you probably didn't think you'd see here. Bravo demanded Steve cheer for Taya Valkyrie in her big match with Kylie Rae tonight, but of course, Steve wanted no part of it. In a short interview in the stooge room, Steve said he loved that the folks at IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House seem to be going crazy.
Larry D...well...now Lawrence D, was seen in a new suit with a new fragrance he calls "Ring Rust." Still fully enamored by Rosemary's spell, he would later attempt to bring the Demon Assassin back to his place. Well...his room. Acey Romero wasn't excited.
The Good Brothers cut a promo on Ace Austin and Madman Fulton, reminding them that The Machine Gun and the Big LG aren't just two of the boys. They're going to make Austin and Fulton famous tonight at IMPACT Wrestling Emergence.
IMPACT Wrestling "TNA World Heavyweight Championship": Trey vs Moose (c)
Moose has laid out all three members of The Rascalz over the past few years on several occasions. However, Trey got an opportunity tossed his way at Moose tonight, and had a chance to finally become a champion in IMPACT Wrestling. Kind of, anyway.
Moose caught Trey with a big standing dropkick, launching him out of the ring and to the floor. Snake eyes across the apron cracked Trey's jaw. Back inside, Trey was tossed around the ring. Following a fallaway slam, IMPACT Wrestling's multi-sport athlete kicked up the trash talk.
After minutes of punishment, Trey seemingly picked up some steam with a combination of forearms to the face. However, another standing dropkick laid out Trey, who managed to kick out at two. Moose reminded Trey that this title shot was meant for Suicide, and Trey stole it.
Trey escaped another choke toss, landing on his feet and rocking the champ with a superkick. A series of kicks stunned Moose. Still, Moose countered a springboard tornado DDT. At least, momentarily. As he went for a suplex, Trey rebounded with the DDT.
Moose rolled to the floor, where he caught Trey diving. A slam into the barricade, and a powerbomb on the apron seemingly left Trey spent on the floor. Trey, somehow, was able to make it inside before the ten count. Moose's spear was avoided at first, but the Lights Out would connect a moment later.
Results: Moose retained the TNA World Championship via pinfall at IMPACT Wrestling Emergence.
Grade: A
After the match, EC3 attacked Moose, laying out the champ with a reverse DDT. He then stole the TNA World Championship.

We got a video package for the World Class Maniac, as Eric Young would be challenging for the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship next week.
Backstage at IMPACT Wrestling Emergence, Jimmy Jacobs attempted to interview Willie Mack about what happened between Eric Young and Rich Swann. Mack was furious that the World Class Maniac came in to ruin such a young career in a company where Young had already accomplished everything.
They were interrupted by Brian Myers, who hijacked the interview, forcing Jacobs to interview him. Myers said that he was furious that he was only seen as a good hand, and that an out of touch 70-year-old man was responsible for all the big decisions. As he attempted to leave, he was attacked by Willie Mack.
We were treated to another #Heath4IMPACT ad. Heath was upset that Joe Biden chose to pick his VP last week on a Tuesday, ruining his chances of trending on Twitter for IMPACT Wrestling. Therefore, he'd try again this week. After all, the fans need to get Heath trending so he can save Rhino from Reno Scum and Hernandez.

IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House- Kylie Rae vs Taya Valkyrie w/Special Guest Referee Rosemary
Kylie Rae had a tough task ahead of her, as she was essentially facing The Power Trip of IMPACT Wrestling. Still, she seemed to have things in hand, easily handling Taya Valkyrie in the beginning. A sweep from Rosemary, though, put Valkyrie back in things.
Rosemary missed a bite to Rae's finger while the rest of the wrestlers booed. Rae managed to start off the comeback, rocking the former IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion with the Kylie Special. It would've gotten the win, were it not for the slow counting.
