Impact Wrestling Hard To Kill Results returned as Raven joined the commentary team for the Falls Count Everywhere Match, and he wasted no time in calling Hannifan and Rehwoldt Tom and Jerry.
Backstage, Gia Miller interviewed Rich Swann but Steve Maclin attacked him. Security came in so the ref could start the match.
