IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds will go down this Saturday, and we still had a few more matches to finalize. AEW's Tony Khan was here to talk to IMPACT Wrestling EVP about the possibility of adding Sami Callihan to the match. Of course, Don Callis would do everything he could to put a stop to that.
Rosemary had a match against Deonna Purrazzo for the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Championship all lined up for Against All Odds. However, she had one last hurdle tonight when she faced Havok, who was trying to take the Demon Assassin's opportunity. These two long-time rivals would go to war for a chance at The Virtuosa.
All that, plus an epic tag team match between Josh Alexander's many challengers and a street fight in the main event featuring W. Morrissey and Willie Mack. We kicked things off, though, with the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship announcement.
Tony Khan, Scott D'Amore, and Don Callis discuss about the IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds main event
Tony Khan thanked Scott D'Amore for being such a gracious host and was ready to hear what he had to say about Kenny Omega's title defense at IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds this Saturday. Before Scott could get to it, he was interrupted by Don Callis.
The Invisible Hand of IMPACT Wrestling claimed that Khan and D'Amore were scheming and plotting to dethrone Kenny Omega of his gold. Callis wanted to keep Sami Callihan out of the IMPACT Wrestling World Title bout.
Callis ran down the reasons. First off, if there's a promotion that has a blacklist, Sami Callihan is on it. The Draw was also responsible for nearly ending the career of Eddie Edwards.
D'Amore cut him off and stated that The Good Brothers prevented Sami from securing the No. 1 Contendership at Hard Justice, and thanks to them he beat Moose by DQ last week.
By those facts alone, Sami Callihan was owed a shot. Callis tried to appeal to the business side of this whole deal. Callihan didn't need to drag down a match between the best athletes of AEW and IMPACT Wrestling in Omega and Moose. D'Amore and Tony Khan whispered back and forth before making it official. Moose will face Kenny Omega in a one-on-one match up at Against All Odds.
Khan added something else, though, stating that Kenny Omega and Moose would fight at Daily's Place.
However, he stated that the winner of the match at Against All Odds will defend the title against Sami Callihan at IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary.
The IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Kenny Omega was furious about the announcement, and he tried to get The Good Brothers to take Callihan out. Scott D'Amore blocked the attempted hit and made sure to keep the former IMPACT Wrestling Tag Champs out of the match on Saturday. At Against All Odds, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows would be in a tag match against Sami Callihan and a partner of his choosing in a street fight.
Brian Myers was with Sam Beale once again to try and teach him about the wrestling business. Last week it was about the entrance, and tonight was about cutting a promo. "A promo is a match, and a match is a promo," said Myers.
Beale cut a promo on Matt Cardona ahead of a match with him at the Deer Park Community Center, but ended up building him up too much for Myers' liking.
Scott D'Amore was met by Sami Callihan, who was furious about the tag team idea. Who in IMPACT Wrestling would team with The Draw, the most volatile man in the business?
Well, just in time for that question, Tommy Dreamer came around the corner. Dreamer stated that they would never be friends, but they both hated Don Callis. At Against All Odds, he will work with Callihan to take on The Good Brothers.
Rosemary vs Havok on IMPACT Wrestling
Rosemary caught Havok with two spears right off the bat before locking her long-time rival up with the Last Chancery. Havok broke away and sent Rosemary into the corner for a nasty big boot.
Havok took over after a commercial break, laying Rosemary out with a hellacious clothesline. Rosemary cut down the Kaiju Queen of IMPACT Wrestling with yet another spear, though it wasn't enough to secure a win.
Rosemary went for a reverse DDT but couldn't bring her opponent down. Instead, a fourth spear would finally put out Havok.
Results: Rosemary defeated Havok via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: B
After the match, Susan, Kimber Lee, and IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champ Deonna Purrazzo ran down and laid out both Havok and Rosemary. When they were done, a fired up Susan called out Fire 'N Flava. Kimber Lee was going to face Tasha Steelz "right now."
Kimber Lee w/Susan and Deonna Purrazzo vs Tasha Steelz w/Kiera Hogan on IMPACT Wrestling
The IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Champion caught Kimber Lee with a running dropkick, but a springboard hurricanrana was countered into a buckle bomb. Lee followed up with the mount, battering Steelz and slamming her head into the mat.
Lee dragged Tasha Steelz's face around the ropes as Hogan screamed at the ref to put a stop to it. Steelz fired off a quick series of chops but was taken down with a clothesline from the Crown Jewel of IMPACT Wrestling. A sidewalk slam planted Steelz for a two-count, and kept that pressure up with the Three Amigos, delaying the last suplex for some extra oomph.
Steelz got her knees up just in time to block the Senton Bomb, and she looked for the Crucifix Driver. Lee spun her out of the attempt only to be dropped with a Falcon Arrow.
Results: Tasha Steelz defeated Kimber Lee via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: B+
After the match, all five women brawled in the middle of the ring. However, IMPACT Wrestling's deadliest monsters Rosemary and Havok were back for revenge. They laid out the entire group including Deonna Purrazzo, finishing off the night with a double chokeslam to Kiera Hogan.
Steve Maclin cut a promo, claiming that all of IMPACT Wrestling would meet Mr. Mayhem. No one will ever forget him again.
Josh Alexander was interviewed backstage following his excellent Ironman match on Before The IMPACT last week. However, Ace Austin, one of the participants in the No. 1 contender's five-way match at IMPACT Wrestling Against All Odds, broke things up. Austin reminded him that he'd be taking his belt back soon, and reminded him of the ace up his sleeve, Madman Fulton.
Petey Williams and Trey Miguel vs Rohit Raju and Chris Bey on IMPACT Wrestling
Former IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champions Petey Williams and Rohit Raju started things off. The veterans kept up a great pace, and Raju was able to avoid the Canadian Destroyer. Williams brought Raju into the Sharpshooter, but Rohit made it to the ropes.
Trey Miguel and Chris Bey tagged in, and they picked up the speed quite a bit. They battled back and forth to see who would catch who first. It was counter for counter before Trey finally caught Bey with a standing dropkick.
Maple Leaf Muscle tagged in, but Raju got the advantage as Bey managed to distract the IMPACT Wrestling original. Raju took Williams to his corner as he and Bey tagged in and out to keep the heat on the former X-Division Champion.
Williams, after a few minutes, was able to send his opponents into one another before getting to Trey Miguel. The Rascal laid out Raju before dropping Bey into an Indian Deathlock. Raju tried to interrupt but was taken down with a Northern Lights suplex that turned the pressure up on Bey's submission.
Williams signaled for the Canadian Destroyer but was cut off by Rohit Raju. Trey was blasted with Rohit's jumping knee strike, but a codebreaker from Williams allowed Trey to lock in the Hourglass.
Results: Trey Miguel defeated Rohit Raju via submission on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: B+
Ace Austin and Madman Fulton rushed to the ring after the match. However, Josh Alexander followed, and his four other challengers eliminated Fulton with a top rope-assisted Canadian Destroyer.
All About Me on IMPACT Wrestling
Next up was IMPACT Wrestling's newest talk show. Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb with a K were in the studio for their show, bringing in the "host" Rachael Ellering, who brought her tag partner Jordynne Grace, much to Dashwood's chagrin.
Ellering asked why Dashwood brought her in, and Dashwood asked why Grace was here. Rachel was tired of her tag team partner being disrespected. The former IMPACT Wrestling Knockout Tag Champs were a unit, and both wanted a piece of Dashwood at Against All Odds.
Dashwood didn't want the match, but Grace went off to talk to Scott D'Amore.
Joe Doering w/Violent By Design vs Eddie Edwards on IMPACT Wrestling
The former IMPACT Wrestling World Champion had a mountain to climb tonight in Joe Doering, and that's not even adding in Violent By Design at ringside. Doering dominated Eddie Edwards early, leaving Eric Young, Deaner, and Rhino to taunt him near the ropes.
Anytime Edwards began to fire up, a massive shot from Doering would wipe him out once again. Edwards did manage to counter a suplex with one of his own, however, bringing the massive Doering overhead with some impressive strength.
Rhino dragged him to the floor, but Edwards managed to shake him. Edwards dumped Doering to the floor and set up for the suicide dive.
Deaner tripped up Edwards in front of the referee, forcing the DQ.
Results: Eddie Edwards defeated Joe Doering via DQ on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: C
As Violent By Design attacked IMPACT Wrestling's heart and soul, Edwards was saved by Kojima. Doering went after Kojima and was dumped to the ground for his troubles.
Street Fight: W. Morrissey vs Willie Mack on IMPACT Wrestling
W. Morrissey rocked Willie Mack with some clubbing rights, sending the former IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion into the corner. Mack fought out but was hit with the kitchen sink knee lift.
Morrissey dominated during the commercial break but was brought down with a chop block to the front of the knee. Mack followed Morrissey around the ring, bouncing him off the ring post and barricade. Morrissey couldn't avoid any of Mack's shots with a steel chain, nor the steel chair, save for one swing that would've ended Morrissey's career.
Back in the ring, Morrissey was rocked with a flying senton. However, Morrissey dropped IMPACT Wrestling's Chocolate Thunder with a nasty big boot, leaving him nearly unconscious after one shot to the head. The big man grabbed a chair to get some revenge, cracking it across Mack's spine.
Morrissey broke the chair over Mack's beaten and battered body, but he wasn't finished then. He set up for a big splash, but Mack dodged it and slammed him in the middle of the ring. The standing moonsault connected, earning Mack a two-count.
Mack cracked Morrissey with the chair again and hoped to pick up a big win in the IMPACT Wrestling main event with the Six-Star Frog Splash, leaving a chair under Morrissey for added measure.
Morrissey avoided it but cracked his elbow on it as well. However, Morrissey knocked Mack out cold when he booted the chair right into the former X-Division Champion's head.
Results: W. Morrissey defeated Willie Mack via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: B+
W. Morrissey looked to end Mack's career, setting him up on the bottom rope with a chair on his face. However, before he could hit the boot, Morrissey was attacked by the former IMPACT Wrestling World Champion, Rich Swann.
Security saved Morrissey, allowing the big man to squash Swann with a body splash. However, Swann got the last laugh, cracking him with the chair.
