We’re not done yet. This week’s Impact Wrestling tapings are in full swing with Monday night’s stories changing things up and down. That would be enough for a long time, but the week is far from over yet. In this case, there are several more nights of tapings to go as the promotion will be taping several weeks worth of shows over the course of this week. Just like last night, Impact Wrestling taped two weeks of their namesake show tonight in Orlando, Florida.
Check out last night’s results right here.
Some more of this took place.
* Fallah Bahh defeated Rohit Raju in a match for Xplosion
* Impact Grand Champion Austin Aries defeated Pentagon Jr. to also win the Impact World Champion. The match ended in a double count out the first time. Aries said that’s bulls–t and there needs to be a decisive winner as there’s room for only one champion at Impact. The match was re-started but it ended in a double count out again. Pentagon cut a promo in Spanish and the match was started back up again. Aries won this time
* El Hijo del Fantasma defeated Taiji Ishimori, Drago and Aerostar in a Fatal 4 Way, pinning Aerostar to win
* DJZ and Andrew Everett defeated The LAX
* Taya Valkyrie vs. Keira Hogan ended when Tessa Blanchard came down mid-match and attacked Hogan
* Kongo Kong with Jimmy Jacobs defeated Grado with Katarina Leigh (Katie Lea). Katarina left Grado after the match. Kong and Jacobs beat Grado down until Moose made the save
* Su Yung with The Legion of Undead Bridesmaids defeated Allie in a Last Rights match to become the new Knockouts Champion
* Drago and Aerostar vs. OVE with Sami Callihan ended when Eddie Edwards ran in and attacked OVE & Sami. Eddie choked out Sami with a kendo stick before security pulled him off. Eddie’s wife Alicia was yelling at Eddie to stop and that it’s over. Eddie acted calm for a second but then destroyed the security guards with the kendo stick
* Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley defeated The LAX
* DJZ and Andrew Everett defeated Scott Steiner and Eli Drake to become the new Impact Tag Team Champions
* Grado defeated Rohit Raju
* Tessa Blanchard defeated Keira Hogan with Madison Rayne on commentary. Tessa
attacked Hogan after the match but Rayne made the save
* Pentagon Jr. and El Hijo del Fantasma defeated X Division Champion Matt Sydal and Austin Aries. Pentagon still had the Impact World Title and was announced as champion
Opinion: Some of those results make me wonder if things are going to be switched up. Aries getting the title back is the right call long term as Pentagon Jr. felt more like a way to establish Lucha Underground’s partnership with Impact Wrestling more than anything else. Aries works better as a heel so turning him wouldn’t be out of the question either. All the title changes are interesting, but there’s only so much you can do with so many changes so soon.
