Josh Alexander Kicks Off IMPACT!
Josh Alexander opens the show after making his shocking return at Sacrifice where, following an attack on IMPACT World Champion Moose, he revealed that not only has he signed a new multi-year contract, but he will also challenge Moose for the IMPACT World Title at Rebellion. Alexander vows to exact his revenge on Moose after he stole the IMPACT World Title from him at Bound For Glory. Honor No More interrupts and their leader, Eddie Edwards, claims that Alexander has had everything handed to him on a silver platter. Alexander is shocked by the way Edwards has changed in recent weeks, joining Honor No More and blaming everyone else for his shortcomings. Former ROH World Champion Matt Taven comes to the defense of Edwards but Alexander fires back and says that when Taven won his company’s World Title, it put them out of business. Things get physical as Alexander falls victim to the numbers game as is beaten down by Honor No More until Rich Swann and Willie Mack make the save. IMPACT Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore announces two huge matchups for tonight. In the main event, Eddie Edwards will go one-on-one with Rich Swann. Also, Kenny King will battle Willie Mack and that match starts right now!

Mack continues the assault with a back body drop on the floor. King drives him throat-first into the ropes to gain momentum. Mack hits a powerslam but misses the follow-up standing Moonsault. King begins to wear him down with a Camel Clutch submission. Mack goes low, then succesfully hits the standing Moonsault for two. Mack hits the Stunner, followed by the Six Star Frog Splash to win!

Bullet Club Addresses the IMPACT Zone
The Bullet Club addresses the IMPACT Zone just days after Sacrifice where Jay White defeated Alex Shelley and The Good Brothers dropped the IMPACT World Tag Team Titles to Violent By Design. Doc Gallows says it’s not about fun and games anymore and vows to become IMPACT World Tag Team Champions once again. White calls out Shelley and offers to “Too Sweet” him. Shelley declines the offer but says that he has no regrets about his performance at Sacrifice because it was a war, regardless of who came out on top. Shelley is hurt by the fact that White didn’t shake his hand at Sacrifice after everything they’ve been through. White says it’s not personal, it’s just business. White claims that everything in professional wrestling happens because of him. Shelley responds by saying that Jay White happened because of him. Shelley’s longtime ally, Chris Sabin, joins him on the stage, leading to the challenge for a tag team match next week – the Motor City Machine Guns vs Jay White and Chris Bey of the Bullet Club!
