Eddie Edwards vs Brian Cage vs Michael Elgin
The previous competitors targeted Big Mike early. However, that partnership quickly fizzled. Edwards sent both Elgin and Cage to the outside and followed up with a blazing fast suicide dive, sending Elgin into the barricade. Cage looked to steal the moment from Edwards with an absolutely stunning tope con hilo.
However, the Unbreakable One picked up some steam when the action moved back inside the ropes. All three men traded strikes and kicks, but it left Elgin standing, albeit with the assistance of the ropes.
Edwards sent him up for a super hurricanrana. Cage caught him for a Drill Claw, but Edwards stopped it. A German suplex dumped Edwards on his head and sent him to the floor. Cage was tossed out as well, with Big Mike leveling them both as they attempted to get to the apron.
A big dive from Elgin took out both competitors as we cut to commercial.
Back from the break, Elgin was battering Cage in the corner with clotheslines while Edwards slowly re-entered the ring. Cage sent Elgin into Edwards, who dropped him with a Blue Thunder Bomb. A Backpack Stunner to Cage nearly gave him the win. Following the kick out, Edwards immediately trapped him in a single leg Boston crab.
Elgin rocked Edwards with some serious right hands and nearly took his head off with a clothesline. Edwards countered, only for Cage to lay him out with a single leg lariat. Elgin took advantage, taking out Cage and Edwards. A shotgun elbow strike rocked Cage. A DDT/falcon arrow combination was only enough for a two-count, however, as the Machine kicked out.
Cage managed to respond with an Alabama Slam, but has he rolled up Big Mike, was leveled with a Boston Knee Party from Edwards. The Tiger Driver gave Impact's resident Hardcore Icon a two-count.
Elgin used Edwards' back to set up a leaping tornado DDT. Edwards delivered a Boston Knee Party to the back of Elgin's head. Cage followed up with a disastrous lariat to Edwards. Edwards rolled out as the two big men took to the top rope.
Cage attempted a super hurricanrana but was crotched on the ropes. Edwards sent Cage off the top and rocked Cage with another Boston Knee Party. Elgin and Edwards traded pinfall attempts on the former World Champion.
A German suplex did absolutely nothing to Elgin as he bounced to his feet for a destructive running lariat. A buckle bomb sent Edwards into Cage, and Elgin finished the bout with the Elgin Bomb, defeating Eddie Edwards and picking up an incredible win over two of the best competitors in IMPACT Wrestling.
Results: Michael Elgin defeated Eddie Edwards via pinfall.
At the treehouse, Trey was upset about what X-Division Champion Ace Austin had to say about his mother. The rest of the Rascalz didn't have much to say, as they agreed that she was pretty attractive. Trey tried to keep her from the show, doing what he could to keep her away from Austin. However, he allowed her to head to ringside.
To celebrate, she and the Rascalz had Trey's favorite...meatloaf!
