Full Results From Friday’s Impact Wrestling Tapings Featuring Major Return *SPOILERS*

Welcome home. Impact Wrestling is in an interesting place right now. They’re coming off a rather strong pay per view in Rebellion but they still have two months before they get to Slammiversary in July. At the same time though, their World Champion is banged up due to an injury in the match when he won the title. That could make for some interesting times as they tape their next television episodes.

Impact Wrestling was making their television debut in the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Friday night to tape a few weeks’ worth of television. There is no word on when these shows will air, but it will be at least one more week as Impact Wrestling taped a few shows earlier this week as well. Here are the results from Friday’s taping, courtesy of Ringsidenews.com:

• Xplosion: Rascalz defeat OVE.
• Xplosion: Cousin Jake Deaner defeated Wrecking Ball Legursky.
• Impact kicks off with a Women’s Battle Royal. Participants in the match include: Solo Darling, Tasha Steelz, Ashley Vox ,Karissa Rivera Kiera Hogan, Tessa Blanchard, Jordynne Grace, Scarlett ,Alisha Edwards and Madison Rayne. Taya runs out and eliminates Madison. Down to Tessa, Scarlett and Keira Hogan. Tessa eliminated Hogan but then Disco runs in (was on commentary) and eliminates Tessa to win the “Knockout” battle royal.
• Demon Collar match: Su Yung vs Rosemary in a Demon Collar. Rosemary defeats Su Yung and then drags her to the back via the chain.

In case you weren’t around. Check out what went down at Rebellion over the weekend:

Opinion: Things are starting to get better around Impact Wrestling but I’m not wild on going with another ECW angle after they have done them so often over the years. There comes a point where you shouldn’t need another company’s leftovers to carry you forward and Impact Wrestling should have passed that years ago. I’m assuming it’s just for this taping, but this isn’t the best sign.
