Impact Wrestling Results returned as the introductions were made and Kaz started off hot and fought off the Good Hands when they tried to double team him.
Skyler opened the ropes for Kas to go to the floor, and Hotch took advantage of the opportunity and hammered away before tagging in Skyler.

Sami Callihan shared a video on being back and how he played the long game to prove a point. He’s devised a plan to take down the Design from inside with his own steps.
Step one was to shave his head since he doesn’t care about his hair, and the rest of the steps are to destroy the Design and he warned them that he’s coming for them and he will destroy them.
Digital Media Championship – Joe Hendry (c) vs. Sheldon Jean
This should be a fun one as Jean’s made it clear he plans on winning championships.
Jean held his own early on and fought out of a stalling suplex before grabbing Hendry but his face and then hit a high knee off the ropes.

Maclin gets a fight with PCO
Steve Maclin came out with the ring draped in red, white, and blue streamers to begin his changing of the guard ceremony and he basked in the fans’ chants of “Maclin sucks!”
He talked about how in February 2021 his back was against the wall, and when he was presented with an opportunity he kicked the door down.
His mission from day one was to become the Impact World Championship.

It was about the same time Josh Alexander began his push, and there was one step for him to embarrass Alexander in his home town.
Since that didn’t happen, he challenged any Canadian to challenge him, and then he mocked the fans for calling him names and even told one he’s not afraid to hit a kid.
Scott D’Amore came out in response, and called Maclin out for talking about opportunities and not to forget who gave him those opportunities.
Scott always knew he had what it took to be a world champion, but he’s annoyed at Maclin’s ability to change the narrative to fit his purpose. Scott asked him if his open challenge is to mock Canada or duck Nick Aldis.
Maclin praised him for his past and aid he misunderstood him. He said when he heard Scott’s music he thought he was coming out to defend his country, but instead he threw Aldis in his face.
Scott called him out for not doing anything to his face at Rebellion and waiting until he turned his back to hit him with the belt.
So to avoid making the same mistake twice, Scott took off his jacket and unbuttoned his sleeve while he called him out about facing a Canadian.
Scott said he’s got the perfect Canadian for him to face at Under Siege — PCO.
Be careful what you wish for! @SteveMaclin wanted a Canadian and he got @PCOisNotHuman!#IMPACTonAXSTV pic.twitter.com/bhD32zLaew

PCO came out and made his way down the ramp and threw Maclin’s security team into the ring before they beat him down and brought out a table.
Maclin had them hold him against the table, but PCO took them out with clotheslines and then he and Maclin went toe to toe with PCO hitting a DDT and Maclin crawled out of the ring.
While Maclin was on the ramp. PCO drove two of the security team through the table to send his message.
This was a fun show and good ending to set up the perfect challenger for Maclin to begin his title reign in what should be an awesome match at Under Siege.
