Impact Wrestling Results returned as Gia Miller interviewed Santino Marella backstage about returning to the ring, and he said maybe from time to time.
He didn’t come there to rule with an iron fist but serve justice, and Alisha ran up to him complaining about what he’s going to do about PCO.
In response, he asked her why she wasn’t in her gear and told her she has a match he just made up to get rid of her.
Johnny Swinger asked him for a match, and when Marella said his matches are eating up funds, Zicky Dice promised to pay to have the best Lucha Libre star come there and Marella agreed, then said he feel like a zoo keeper at times.
Alisha Edwards vs. Tara Rising
Alisha took Tara down off the bat and hammered away on her as she worked out her frustration.
She continued by throwing Tara around the ring by her hair, but ran into a boot. Alisha responded with a clothesline and then threw Tara to the floor and demanded the ref count.
Alisha went to the floor and drove Tara into the ring apron a couple of times before throwing her into the ring and hitting a face plant for the win.
After the match, Alisha kept stomping on her and Jody Threat came out and pulled Alisha off of her. Alisha retreated, but made sure to do so at her pace.
Backstage, Jody checked on Tara and told her don’t let anyone push her around like that and she’ll make sure Alisha will pay for what she did.
Moose w/Brian Myers vs Yuya Uemura w/Bhupinder Gujjar
Moose started it fast by driving Yuya into a corner and hitting some shoulders, but Yuya fought back with some rights before he ate a shoulder tackle off the ropes.
Moose blocked a couple of Yuya’s moves and wagged his finger like a disapproving teacher, but Yuya caught him with an arm drag and then sent him to the floor where he hit a pair of baseball slides.
Myers shoved Moose aside to take a crossbody by Yuya, and Moose used the opportunity to nail Yuya with a boot and powerbomb him into the apron.
