Before The Impact (BTI) – The Design (Kon, Angels) w/Deaner vs. Delirious and Yuya Uemura

Delirious hit a jawbreaker and tagged in Yuya, and he hit Kon with a couple of shoulder tackles to no effect, then ran into a big boot.

Yuya fought back and hit a bulldog on Angels and tagged in Delirious.

Kon blocked it, but Yuya came in to hit a double suplex. Kon swatted Yuya’s dive away on the floor, and Delirious took it to Angels, but me missed Shadows Over Hell and Kon press slammed him.
Angels hit a Halo Strike on Delirious for the win.
After the match, Deaner called Sami Callihan out to the ring, and Deaner had them stop his music and reiterated that Sami and the Death Machine is dead. He then demanded Callihan get into the ring.
After he told Callihan he made the right choice last week, it’s time for the next step in the process and if he’s willing to follow orders and Kon put Delirious into the ring.
He ordered Callihan to take him out and Callihan went to give his thumbs down but Deaneer stopped him, and Callihan hit a Cactus Driver 97.
The show opened with a memorial to Jamin Puch (Jay Briscoe)’s passing.
Bully’s not done
Mickie James came out to get the show started, and Rehwoldt returned to his customary spot on the commentary team.
Mickie celebrated her victory and main eventing Hard To Kill, but she barely got started when Bully Ray came out.

He stood in front of Mickie and pointed toward the back, then explained to her that he didn’t tell her to talk, he told her to leave and she refused and told him to get out of her ring.
Bully told her she’s wasting her time and it’s not her ring because she wasn’t in the main event. He was the true main event and the fans chanted “Yes she was.”
Mickie told him she has a lot of respect for him, but when it comes to the man he’s been since returning he’s shown his true colors as a bully.
She told him she knows his history toward women, and if she wants her out of the ring then he’ll have to take her out.
Tasha Steelz and Savannah Evans came out and Tasha said she wants to be in a front row seat to watch him and Mickie. She then confronted Mickie about the real headline she should be talking about is that she still can’t beat her.
Bully urged Tasha not to take crap from Mickie, and she challenged Mickie and Evans clocked Mickie.
Bully went to the floor for a table when Frankie Kazarian and Jordynne Grace came out.
Santino Marella came out and as the Director of Authority and Ernest “the Cat” Miller came out and talked Marella into a intergender match.
Bully started to leave and Marella threatened to fire him if he didn’t get into the ring for the match.
