Hello and welcome to Impact Wrestling Results! Tonight should be a fun one with a stacked card as we make our last stop before Under Siege tomorrow night.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
Before The Impact (BTI) – Sami Callihan vs. Shogun
This should be a fun match with their styles, but given the time left it looks like some unplanned shenanigans could cut it short.
Shogun showed his power by shoving Sami across the ring during their first lockup, and Sami called for a test of strength afterwards.
When Shogun went for it, Sami nailed him with a right and took a bow.
After an exchange of right Shogun leveled him with a shoulder tackle off the ropes, but Sami ducked and sent him to the floor on his next charge and hit a kick on the apron before he headed to the floor.

Sami hit a pair of chops on the floor, then ran into a forearm. He then sidestepped a charge and Shogun ran into the ring post and Sami bodyslammed him on the floor before he rolled back into the ring.
Shogun beat the count and he went to work on Sami with a back elbow and a trio of splashes for a near pinfall.
Sami asked him for more, and Shogun gave him two splashes but missed the third.
Shogun headed to the top rope and Sami got him by the eyes and hit a Death Valley Driver for the win.
Mike Bailey vs. Chris Sabin
Some gamesmanship between the two started the match as they feigned striking and kicking each other, and after shaking hands they went into holds and counters with Bailey getting an early pin attempt.
After a brief exchange, Bailey was sent to the floor and Sabin nailed him with a running kick and hammered away before he sent him to the floor.
He then caught Bailey’s boot attempt and tied his leg up in the ropes to hit a dropkick for a pin attempt.

Sabin caught Bailey’s somersault into the ropes with a dropkick to Bailey’s left arm.
After trading shots in the ropes, Sabin hit a sunset bomb from over the top rope to the floor.
Bailey hit his third attempt a hit Tornado Kick, but Sabin avoided a Ultimate Weapon and hit a Muscle Buster and Cradle Shock for the win.
