Impact Wrestling Results returned as Deaner told Callihan about Kon facing Kaz at No Surrender, and then he shifted focus to Callihan’s motives for joining the Design.
The time to address that question is next week when Callihan joins Deaner in a tag match against Kaz and Yuya.
When Callihan asked what’s step five, he was told to be there next week and he’ll find out.
Alisha vs. Masha Slamovich
Mickie James came out to join the commentary team for this match as has become her custom.
Masha let Alisha get the first couple of shots in but they had no effect. Neither did her next few before she ate a couple of clotheslines and a snap suplex.

Masha hit a couple more kicks for good measure before closing it out with a Snow Plow.
After staring at Mickie, Masha slapped on a rear choke and Mickie went into the ring to help and Masha ducked a clothesline and was caught in another rear naked choke.
Masha eventually let her go after her message was sent.
Backstage, Horowitz tried to get the same deal Swinger has where he’d get a world title match when he gets to 50 wins, but when Marella told him he’ll face Rhino next week he decided to go out 1-0.
Kenny King vs. Rich Swann
This should be a fun match as we get another first time ever matchup.
King started it off fast with a knee and then proceeded to hammer Swann down with knees, chops, and kicks, but Swann fought back before he ate a reverse elbow.
Swann caught him with a kick to send King to the floor, then hit a flip off the apron before he sent King into the ring where he hit a crossbody off the top rope for a pin attempt.
Swann kept the pressure on with a series of kicks to King, but King caught him and sent him into the turnbuckle and followed it with a clothesline for a pin attempt.
King caught Swann off the ropes again to hit a swinging backbreaker for a near pinfall, and Swann avoided a springboard leg drop.
Swann then fought out of a stalling suplex with some knees and turned it into a DDT. Swann kept the pressure on with a series of kicks for a near pinfall.
King caught him with a spinebuster for his own pin attempt, but Swann fought out of a hold and hit a pump kick before running into a powerslam.

Swann fired off a series of spin kicks, but King ducked a kick and locked in a single legged Boston Crab but Swann made it to the ropes to break the hold.
They traded kicks that left them both on their backs, and then Swann hit a cutter off the ropes for a near pinfall.
King hit a Tiger Driver for a near pinfall, and then went for another finisher but Swann rolled him up for the win.
After the match, King blindsided him with a kick and stomped him down before he headed to the floor and grabbed a steel chair.
Josh Alexander came out and yanked the chair away, and King ducked so Swann hit Alexander with a superkick.
This was a fun show and not there’s going to be some angst between Swann and Alexander. What do you think about the ending? Let us know in the comments below and thank you for joining Impact Wrestling Results.
We had a blast and can’t wait for next week.
See you then!
