8/18 Impact Wrestling Results
Note: This is in addition to the partial taping results that TNA did after the most recent live edition of Impact.
(1) Gail Kim vs. Jade ends with interference from Sienna. There was a bit from Maria Kanellis too saying that Gail doesn’t get a title shot.
– Aron Rex is here. He does an in-ring spot with Drew Galloway and EC3 to set up the main event for this show. It’ll be Galloway vs. Carter with Rex as the special guest referee.
– Bobby Lashley comes down with all his titles, and teases a unification. Billy Corgan isn’t happy about that idea. There’s a lot of tension between the two and Dixie Carter is out to try and calm them down. Lashley trashes the King of the Mountain championship and the X-Division championship, basically saying they’re defunct and that his world title is the only one that matters.
(2) Knockouts Championship Match
Allie def. Marti Belle, Jade, Madison Rayne & Sienna (c) to become the new TNA Knockouts Champion.
(3) Battle Royal
Mike Bennett won in a match with most of the male guys at this taping. Lashley being the obvious exception, as he was on commentary. Bennett is now the #1 contender to the world title.
(4) Abyss def. Broken Jeff Hardy. They officially announce The Broken Hardys against The Decay for the tag titles for Bound for Glory, which I’m pretty sure was already a thing.
– They do a big in ring segment with pretty much everyone in the X-Division. They’re going to crown a new champion on the next show.
(5) Ethan Carter III def. Drew Galloway with Aron Rex as the referee. This was a match for Carter’s title shot at Bound for Glory. They ended the episode with Galloway attacking Rex, so that looks to be the next BFG match.
