Impact Wrestling Results returned as Trey Miguel put his stamp in the X-Division Championship with spray paint, and then it was onto the match.
Moose vs. Bhupinder Gujjar
This should be a good matchup with their different styles, and after a brief fake up, Moose went to work with some chops but he missed a splash in the corner and ate some chops and some clotheslines.
Gujjar sent him to the floor with a knee and went after him, but Moose caught him with a Big Boot and a powerbomb onto the apron.
Gujjar barely beat the count into the ring, but Moose kept his methodical offense going.
Gujjar avoided Moose’s spear and fired off with a ripcord knee and a sling blade.
Moose sidestepped his gargoyle spear and hit his own for the win. After the match, Moose pounded on him and threw him to the floor.

Moose reminded the fans that he told everyone who Bully Ray is, and that he won at Over Drive because he was right and he never wants to hear Bully Ray’s name again.
Joe Hendry came out to that and Moose stood to the side while Hendry did his thing while keeping an eye on Moose.
When asked what he’s doing in his ring, Hendry said he was called out. Moose didn’t know what he was talking about, and Hendry said when he said his name he appears. It means Moose believes.
Moose threatened him, but Hendry didn’t leave and said form a current champion to a former one, he knows a cry for help when he hears one.
Moose went for a right, but Hendry blocked him and hit one of his own, but Moose hit a big boot.
When Hendry got back up, he ducked a clothesline and Gujjar his a gargoyle spear.
Steve Macklin vs. Frankie Kazarian
They exchanged rights off the bat and Macklin gained the upper hand, but Kaz turned it around with a elbow off the ropes and pounded Macklin down.

Macklin didn’t stay down and his power turned the tables once more as he hit a Yurinagi backbreaker and focused on Kaz’s back with knees and hurling him into the turnbuckles.
Kaz rallied with a leg drop off the ropes for a near pinfall and went for a chicken wing, but Macklin backed him into the corner to break the hold.
Kaz avoided a Caught in the Crosshairs and hit a slingshot cutter for a pin attempt, but Macklin got his foot on the ropes.
On the floor, Macklin grabbed a chair and hit Kaz in the midsection for a disqualification, and then wore the chair out on Kaz in the ring and closed it out with a KOD on the chair.
Backstage, Eddie Edwards told Gia Miller he wants to bury the past and he’s focused on the future, and he turned into Delirious, who stared him down.
Elsewhere, Heath promised the MCMG he’d go to Scott to set a match up for the tag titles next week, and Rhino got a little intense when promising what he’ll do to them.
Deonna Purrazzo vs. Mickie James
Will Purrazzo be able to end Mickie’s career in the Last Rodeo? We can’t wait to see.
After their initial lockup ended with Purrazzo having an advantage, they traded holds as they looked for an advantage.
Mickie hit an armbreaker on Purrazzo’s left arm and hit a leg drop on it, and kept after it.
They traded pin attempts before Micki hit a couple of kicks and Purrazzo missed with a Pump Kick.

Mickie kept on the offensive by smashing Purrazzo’s face into the turnbuckle numerous times, but Purrazzo caught her with a back elbow off the ropes to buy some time.
After Purrazzo went on a run, Mickie fought back and hit a sliding kick for a pin attempt, and after Purrazzo fought out of a MicDT, Mickie hit a flapjack and headed to the top rope. Purrazzo shoved her to the floor so she could regroup.

Purrazzo locked in a Fujiwara, and then a Venus De Milo as Mickie reached for the ropes, but Mickie got her foot on the ropes to break the hold.
Purrazzo went for a rollup with a handful of tights, but Mickie countered with her own and a handful of tights for the win.
While Mickie celebrated, Jordynne Grace came out and told Mickie she knows she wants to work her way back to the top and she’s done exactly that.
With them taking care of their business, it’s time for them to have their match. Grace offered her a match for the Knockouts Championship at Hard To Kill.
Mickie shook her hand, but Grace held on to exchange some words with her before they separated.
Deaner’s the Design
We switched to Eric Young and Deaner sitting across a table from each other, and Deaner told him he turned his life to violence to fight the sickness and he’s always reviled it.
"ELIMINATE THE SICKNESS!!!"@TheEricYoung @CodyDeaner #IMPACTonAXSTV pic.twitter.com/prKamHFMbN
— TNA Wrestling (@ThisIsTNA) December 2, 2022
Failure is the sickness, and he told Young he’d do anything to eliminate the sickness.
Young asked him if the sickness was in that room would he do anything to eliminate it, and when pressed by Young, Deaner answered he would.
They both went for a blade on the table and struggled, and after a back and forth cinematic fight, Deaner pummeled him until he was bloody.
When Deaner asked him why he made him do it, Young told him he has to kill the sickness and embrace the violence and Deaner stabbed him.
Deaner took Young’s place at the table, and Young’s voice said he was the designer, but Deaner is the design.
This was a cool ending and sets Deaner up for a future run, and we wonder if Young is retiring or will he return to the ring at some point?
