It's time for another incredible show from IMPACT Wrestling. We've got the main event, of course, with the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Eddie Edwards defending his title against The World Class Maniac, Eric Young. However, that's not all we'll see tonight.
Tonight saw the finale of Wrestle House. With the whole project surrounding Rosemary wanting to get together with John E. Bravo, it's now time to put up or shut up. Rosemary faces Taya Valkyrie later on tonight for the right to Bravo. How will Wrestle House end?
Deonna Purrazzo, the self-proclaimed First Woman of IMPACT Wrestling, held a "Black Tie Celebration" tonight, hoping to get the roster to appreciate what she's brought to the company so far. Don't worry, she'll have some interruptions, including some returning IMPACT Wrestling stars.
We kicked off the night with The Draw Sami Callihan taking on Rob Van Dam.
Sami Callihan vs Rob Van Dam w/Katie Forbes on IMPACT Wrestling
While Rob Van Dam is distracted by Katie Forbes' uh...assets, Sami Callihan knocked him off the apron and into the barricade. Callihan continued to toss RVD around ringside while twerking in his face.
Forbes tried to do the same to Callihan, who wasn't having any of it. It did work out, though, as RVD was able to blindside the former IMPACT Wrestling Champion. Still, he didn't hold the upper hand for long as Forbes, again, went in for a smooch on RVD.
Thoughout the bout, it was a tale of Katie Forbes. She'd accidentally ruin her boyfriend's night, but then trip up Callihan in order to fix her mistakes. Tripping Callihan up as he ran off the apron allowed RVD to set up for the leaping leg guillotine on the barricade.
Back inside, a reverse atomic drop and facebuster set up for the Rolling Thunder. Yet again, looking for approval from Forbes, RVD was too slow, allowing Callihan to put his knees up. A kick to the knee and a low cutter planted RVD face first.
Callihan connected with a series of clotheslines. Before he could put Rob Van Dam away, another distraction from Forbes set him up for a running spinning roundhouse to the back of the head. RVD followed that up with a split legged moonsault and a leaping leg drop. As he moved to the top, Callihan cut RVD off.
A hanging cutter nearly put the ECW legend away. As Callihan set up for the Cactus Special, Forbes ran in for another distraction. Callihan, again, fell for it. However, when Rob Van Dam tried to go for the pin, he was rolled up instead with a sunset flip.
Results: Sami Callihan defeated Rob Van Dam via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: B-
After the match, Callihan was attacked by IMPACT Wrestling's It Couple. They set Callihan up in the corner so Forbes could hit two running hip attacks, with the latter one using a chair. RVD finished him off with Forbes holding the chair in front of Callihan's face as he hit the running dropkick.
Backstage, Reno Scum met up with Hernandez, hoping to get the rest of his wad of cash for taking out Rhino. Hernandez promised him that if they finished the job tonight, they'd have it all.
IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House
We saw clips of interviews with Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, and John E. Bravo in the stooge room. The former IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champions would battle one another tonight. Valkyrie was upset about how her manager and tag team partner were keeping such a terrible secret from her.
Later on in the evening, Bravo's future rested in the hands of Wera Loca and The Demon Assassin. The winner would get Bravo. We saw the rest of the Wrestle House crew waiting to see what Crazzy Steve did to Johnny Swinger. Steve said that it was his masterpiece, as Swinger would now be "The Man Called Swing."
They were ready to laugh at The Swing Man, but Susie made everyone promise not to make fun of him. That promise didn't last long once we saw what Steve did to the poor guy.
As Bravo walked by the scene, Tommy Dreamer pulled him aside, stating that he'd be the referee for the match between Taya Valkyrie and Rosemary later on in the night. Talk about a twist.
Reno Scum vs Rhino on IMPACT Wrestling
Rhino rushed Reno Scum, but failed to overcome the two-on-one advantage. Reno Scum set Rhino up in the corner and Adam Thornstowe hit an incredibly impressive leaping double foot stomp off of Luster the Legend's back.
A little too much show boating, though, allowed the former TNA/IMPACT Wrestling champion to get back in the match. He cut Luster in half on the floor with a Gore. Back inside, though, Thornstowe looked to take out Rhino with his studded belt. As the ref was checking on Luster, a camera man helped Rhino out, dropping Thornstowe with the Wake Up Call. It was Heath!
Results: Rhino defeated Reno Scum via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: C
Scott D'Amore brought out security to throw Heath out of the building, but he bailed before they could get to the ring.
Moose was backstage, disheveled at the loss of his TNA World Championship. EC3 appeared on a screen behind him, saying that he'd give him a chance to regain what he felt was rightfully his. If he didn't? Well, he'd receive the belt piece by piece.
Moose ran out of the room and was told by an IMPACT Wrestling crew member that EC3 was on the other side of the building. However, as he left, the man revealed that he was wearing an EC3 shirt.
The Good Brothers were backstage sharing some great stories with the crew. This story, of course, involved good ol' Uncle Allen. The Rascalz were brought in by the crew, but couldn't stick around for any stories as they had to get ready for their match on IMPACT Wrestling later on.
The Big LG and Karl Anderson were happy to share some advice, but Dez and Wentz walked off. The Good Brothers weren't flustered, though, and continued to entertain the IMPACT Wrestling crew.
IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House
John E. Bravo was getting ready when Larry D walked into the kitchen. The Deaners asked if he took their beer from last week. Acey Romero tried to calm things down, saying that they had a truce, but Larry thew that out of the window. The Deaners and XXXL brawled around the house.
The IMPACT Wrestling Brawl for Beer commenced.
XXXL vs The Deaners on IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House
Acey Romero and Cody Deaner had an incredibly hilarious brawl, which even led to an intense ping pong battle. We cut away to see Larry D drive Cousin Jake into the wall with a piano. Jake ducked the Best Hand in the House before they continued to brawl.
Larry and Jake came into the room and continued to fight while Acey "took out the trash" with Deaner laying in the trash cart. Deaner managed to recover in time, but Acey escaped before he could finish a punching combination by riding an elevator. Dreamer pointed Deaner to the stairs before screaming at Acey that there was a weight limit on the elevator.
Deaner met Acey downstairs and attempted to hit him with a clothesline while riding a bicycle. Acey ducked, sending Acey into Taya Valkyrie's car. Cousin Jake set Larry D up for a big running crossbody, but after about twenty seconds of Acey asking if Larry needed any help, he was pulled out of harms way.
Deaner came in and took out Romero, and after finding their beer under Larry's bed, spiked him with a Deaner DDT. Acey and Jake came in, with Jake hitting Larry with the powder. As Jake turned around, Susie appeared, visibly upset at the four men for breaking the truce.
We didn't really see much of the aftermath, but the door was closed behind Susie, who Dreamer revealed was the winner of the match after witnessing what Susie did to XXXL and The Deaners. When he raised Susie's hand, it was covered in blood.
Results: Susie defeated XXXL & The Deaners on IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House.
Grade: A+
Ace Austin & Madman Fulton vs The Rascalz (Dez & Wentz) on IMPACT Wrestling
Dez hit Madman Fulton with a striking combination but was tossed across the ring. He responded with a running dropkick and escaped a swinging sidewalk slam. Tagging in Wentz, The Rascalz took Fulton off his feet on IMPACT Wrestling.
Fulton was able to get back into the match with relative ease, overpowering Wentz. He tagged Ace Austin in for a sidewalk slam/springboard leg drop combination, with Ace getting a near fall.
Dez was able to tag back in, and rocked Austin with a series of strikes. Fulton barely broke a pinfall up. Wentz responded with a superkick before dumping the big man to the floor.
Austin was crushed with a slingshot double stomp, and Wentz and Dez sent Fulton into the barricade with a series of dives. As Wentz hit a top rope dive to take Fulton off his feet on the floor, Dez crushed Austin with the Final Flash for the win.
Results: The Rascalz defeated Ace Austin & Madman Fulton via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: B
The Motor City Machine Guns came out and congratulated The Rascalz on a phenomenal match. They also said that they were impressed with them, as they were able to take the IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions to their limit at Slammiversary. That being said, next week we'll be getting a Slammiversary rematch.
The Rascalz will challenge The Motor City machine Guns for the IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Championship.
TJP met Rohit Raju backstage, hoping to get a shot at the IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Championship. Raju said he was happy to make that happen. However, Chris Bey still had a rematch.
That being said, if TJP could knock off Bey in a match, he'd definitely prove that he should get the first crack at the new champ.
IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House- Taya Valkyrie vs Rosemary
John E. Bravo tried his best to stay unbiased throughout the match and incidentally distracted Rosemary when she went fo the Upside Down. Taya Valkyrie hit a running hip attack and running double knee strike in the corner for a two-count. The entire Wrestle House crew, including The Deaners and XXXL who were covered in terrible injuries, were cheering for Rosemary.
Rosemary took Valkyrie to the corner while she was arguing with Bravo, laying in some punches before taking her down with a fisherman suplex. It only led to a two count, with Rosemary getting upset. She managed to keep it under control, and speared Valkyrie.
Valkyrie returned the favor, and the former IMPACT Wrestling Knockout Champions took one another down with a pair of roundhouse. Valkyrie avoided a second spear, sending Rosemary face first into the turnbuckle.
She followed up, planting Rosemary with the Road to Valhala.
Results: Taya Valkyrie defeated Rosemary via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House.
Grade: B
After the match, Rosemary said everyone could go home. Bravo surprised her with a proposal. A wedding proposal! Even though Rosemary lost, Bravo said that didn't matter. She lost a wrestling match, it doesn't mean they couldn't be together.
Valkyrie signed off on it, and Rosemary accepted. As they were all ready to leave, there was one mystery left to solve. Who stole The Deaners' beer? It was Crazzy Steve, of course. He admitted it in the stooge room, revealing that he couldn't read the labels.
With that, Wrestle House is over, and all the participants have returned to IMPACT Wrestling. That means that Kylie Rae can finally challenge Deonna Purrazzo for the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Championship.
IMPACT Wrestling presents: Deonna Purrazzo's Black Tie Affair
The IMPACT Wrestling roster was all around ringside while Kimber Lee curated the "Black Tie Celebration" of the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo. Trey assisted Purrazzo, helping her up the stairs and into the ring before getting some high fives (get it?) from The Rascalz.
Purrazzo called herself the First Woman of IMPACT Wrestling before raising a toast to herself for painting a masterpiece in this company. She called herself the greatest technical wrestler in the world, and no one could ever ruin her celebration.
No one, of course, except Jordynne Grace. Thicc Mama Pump actually came here to congratulate The Virtuosa, but said that she wasn't finished with Purrazzo. However, she was interrupted by Tenille Dashwood, who finally returned to IMPACT Wrestling after many months.
Dashwood assumed that the celebration around ringside was for her. As Dashwood and Grace argued, Wrestle House teleported into the ring. Kylie Rae dumped Purrazzo to the floor, and Susie saved Rae from an attack by Kimber, setting Kimber up for the superkick.
Rae and Susie celebrated in the ring as Purrazzo and Lee ran off in frustration. Looks like Deonna Purrazzo has a serious list of contenders for her IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Championship.
IMPACT Wrestling World Championship: Eric Young vs Eddie Edwards (c)
The World Class Maniac was caught with an inverted atomic drop and overhead belly-to-belly suplex by Eddie Edwards. Young was battered early on, but finally got some separation when he hung the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion up on the top rope.
Back inside the ring, Edwards regained control, rocking Eric Young with a punching combination. However, after withstanding quite a bit of punishment, Young managed to catch Edwards on the apron with a hangman's neckbreaker.
Edwards' neck was seriously damaged here, and a running neckbreaker on the inside only exacerbated the injury. Young focused most of his offense on that point, choking the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion and dropping him with an array of neckbreakers.
Young threw a big clothesline at Edwards, but the champ ducked for a Blue Thunder Bomb. Edwards followed up with more punishment in the corner. Chops, punches and more, pelting the challenger. Young choked Edwards out on the top rope, but Edwards responded with an enziguri and a backpack stunner. Young kicked out.
They fought to the floor, with Edwards hitting a dive. However, his knee buckled on the landing, giving him another big injury in his title defense. Still, Edwards managed to drop Young with a Tiger Driver. Unfortunately, the damage to his knee left Edwards in so much pain that he couldn't properly secure the pin.
The IMPACT Wrestling Triple Crown Champion managed to spike Edwards with the Spike Piledriver after knocking Edwards out with his mask. With that, The World Class Maniac was now the new IMPACT Wrestling World Champion.
Results: Eric Young defeated Eddie Edwards via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: A
Following the match, Young continued to tear away at Edwards' knee. A chop block and a heel hook left Edwards writhing in agony while the new IMPACT Wrestling World Champion smiled on.
Moose found a room with EC3's logo on it. He found a series of photos on a board, proving that EC3 had been stalking him, not only at IMPACT Wrestling tapings, but everywhere he'd gone. The gym, his hotel, everywhere. Moose had played right into EC3's game, with a message behind the board saying "You Have Been Warned."
