Impact Wrestling Results returned as Decay crashed the set of Locker Room Talk and informed the Influence they’ll hear from them. But not before Zicky Dice said he recognized Havok from Swinger’s Dungeon and was shoved into Swinger, breaking his Swinger.
Backstage, Chris Sabin fulfilled Iceman’s prediction as he challenge Frankie Kazarian next week to celebrate Impact Wrestling’s 20th anniversary to complete their Battle for the Future.
Eric Young talked about going to WrestleMania 3 and seeing Ricky Steamboat and Randy Savage’s match and thought that’d be an interesting way to make a living.
From Team Canada to Don't Fire Eric to World Elite to defending TNA to Violent By Design – nobody on the current roster has had more matches or won more titles in company history than @TheEricYoung.
All of that has prepared him to face @Walking_Weapon at #Slammiversary. pic.twitter.com/bUpGEiZnPd

He jumped to 20 years later and how he was worried about being fired and no making money, and he ran with it and became a frontliner.
He worked with people that wanted him there and wanted him gone, and for an old man that treated him like a discarded piece of garbage but he’s still here and this is what he’s meant to be.
Mike Bennett and Matt Taven w/Maria vs. The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson)
This is going to be a fun one and could steal the show, and with Maria back on commentary, we’re sure she’ll get involved in some way.
Karl and Bennett started it off, and their first lockup ended with Bennett nailing Karl with a right, and then they exchanged chops.
Gallows came in and went to work on Bennett, but Bennett raked his eyes and tagged in Taven.
Taven tried to use his speed and ran into a clothesline for a near pinfall.

Karl dug into Taven’s eyes, and then hammered away before bouncing him off the turnbuckles.
Anderson got cocky and ate a double team flip into the ropes and Taven beat up Karl on the floor before throwing him into the ring for a pin attempt.
Gallows tagged in and cleaned house before hitting a elbow and shoulder block, then he sent Bennett ot the floor with a superkick.
Oh dear. Hmmm I wonder what I would do to Robert if he did that to me? 🤔 https://t.co/HH7g1gUQEN

Benentt and Taven double teamed Gallows and Taven hit a moonsault for a near pinfall.
Karl tagged in after Bennet accidentally superkicked Taven, but Maria distracted the ref to avoid the pin attempt.
After exchanging words, Karl sidestepped a spear attempt from Bennett and he speared Maria. Karl then closed it out with a Gun Stun on Bennett for the win.
Masha Slamovich vs. Shawna Reed
Masha nailed Reed with a right and stomped her down right off the bat. She threw Reed across the ring and hit a running boot for a pin attempt, but she pulled Reed up to break the pin.
Things are about to heat up in the Knockouts Division for @mashaslamovich. #IMPACTonAXSTV @FearHavok pic.twitter.com/LIsNwfhM2D

A Snow Plow later and Masha’s got another win.
After the match, the lights went out and Havok came out. Looks like someone wants a challenge.
The two stood face to face and Masha did all the talking and Havok didn’t back down.
Impact Tag Team Championship – The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) vs. Violent By Design
Deaner started if off against Mark, and tagged Doering in to start off and he backed Mark into a counter with ease and threw him back for Jay to blind tag in.
Doering hammered down Jay and Deaner came in.
Jay made a comeback and Mark took over hammering on Deaner and hit a suplex for a pin attempt.
Deaner and Mark traded chips, then the Briscoes went on a double team run to break Deaner down.
Mark nailed Deaner with a neckbreaker off the apron, and Doering nailed Jay with a cross body to even the score.

Mark fought out of a two on one and hit a flip on Doering on the floor, then took it to Deaner.
Jay dropped Doering on the floor with a boot, then headed into the ring to help with a double team neckbreaker powerbomb for a near pinfall.
Doering nailed Jay with a spinebuster and a slam for Deaner to hit a diving headbutt but Mark saved the pin.
Jay picked up Deaner for the Doomsday Device, but Deaner tried to fight out of it. Jay rolled Deaner down for a pin to keep the titles and they started to beat down the Briscoes.
Josh Alexander came out and cleared the ring until he and Yonug stood face to face. They stared each other down as Young smiled at him and VBD attacked Josh from behind.
The Briscoes got back into the ring and sent Young and Deaner to the floor, then Doering followed after a double clothesline.

Josh and the Briscoes held the ring as the show ended.
This was a standard but fun way to close out the show and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next week.
