Impact Wrestling Results came back as Gia Miller interviewed Jordynne Grace about Masha Slamovich giving her a death warrant last week, and Grace said she’s a fighting champion and will face her.
Grace praised Mia Yim after their match last week when Deonna Purrazzo and Chelsea Green came in and told her no one likes her and talked some more trash.
Yim stepped up and said she has Grace’s back and they’ll challenge for the Knockouts Tag Team Championship next week.

Moose caught Swann by the hair and spiked him, then blind tagged himself in on Edwards and he went to work on Swann. Macklin tagged in for a couple of shots, and Moose tagged back in.

Macklin threw Callihan into a spear by Moose for the pin.
Macklin ran in and rolled Moose up for the win and Moose wasn’t happy. Callihan pulled Moose to the floor and threw him into the barricade, then went into the ring and threw Macklin through the ropes and into Moose.

Edwards blindtagged in before Swann hit a Phoenix Splash, and Edwards sent Swann into the ring post and hit Bandido with a Boston Knee Party for the pin and we’re down to two.
Edwards chopped and clubbed Swann down for a pin attempt, and he caught him with a reverse elbow for another pin attempt.
After Swann turned the tide, Edwards pulled a kendo stick out from under the ring and nailed Swann with it while the ref tried to pull Swann back, and Swann kicked out of the pin attempt.
Edwards countered a cutter with a Blue Thunder Bomb and then hit a Boston Knee Party but Swann kicked out, so Edwards hit a Die Hard Driver to finally score the win.
This was a great match and fun show overall. It should be fun to see Edwards face Josh Alexander for the Impact World Championship at Bound For Glory.
