Hello and welcome to Impact Wrestling Emergence Results! Tonight looks like it’s going to be a fun one with a stacked card. Let’s get to the action!
Countdown to Emergence – Alan Angels vs. Mike Bailey
This is going to be a great start to the night.
Bailey offered his hand and Angels acted like he was going to punch him, then offered his hand. When they shook, Angels tried to kick him but Bailey caught him.
Bailey stayed one step ahead early on with machine gun kicks and a step up kick before nailing a dropkick that sent Angels to the floor.
Angels caught him in the ropes with a kick and hit a neckbreaker on the ropes, and another from the apron to the floor.

Angels continued to work on Bailey’s neck with forearms in the ring and a cross hold and a backstabber for a pin attempt.
Bailey countered a neckbreaker with a backslide for an attempted pinfall, and he followed that with a moonsault off the top rope to the floor to regain control.
Bailey fired off a series of kick combos, but Angels avoided him in the corner and hit him from behind, hit a dropkick from behind, and followed that with a powerbomb for a near pinfall.
After eating a kick, Angels nailed him with a lariat to buy some time. Angels hit an elbow off the middle rope for a near pinfall, and a double underhook neckbreaker for another attempt.
Angels pulled the ref between he and Bailey to avoid a kick and then snapped Bailey’s neck. They traded kicks with Bailey finally hitting his tornado kick and the Ultimate Weapons for the win.
Countdown to Emergence – The Good Hands (Jason Hotch, John Skyler) vs. Joe Hendry and Yuya Uemura
After a great opening for Joya and a huge fan appreciation, Hendry and Hotch started it off and they traded holds early on with Nedry gaining the advantage with an arm lock, and Yuya tagged in for a double elbow and a pin attempt.
Yuya kept it going with an arm drag an elbow for a pin attempt.
Skyler tripped Yuya in the ropes and they double stomped him while Hendry tried to help and kept the ref distracted by accident.
A double bulldog and Good Hands elbow drop for a pin attempt followed.

Skyler provoked Hendry while Hotch came without tagging, and the ref made them switch, which allowed Yuya to tag in Hendry and he unloaded on Skyler with a fallaway slam.
He pulled Hotch into the ring and got the fans fired up before he ran into a knee. But he threw Ksyler into Hotch and hit a neckbreaker on Hotch, which resulted in Skyler taking a DDT.
Yuya broke up a pin attempt and sent Hotch to the floor while they then double teamed Skyler for the pin and Joya’s first win in their rebirth.
