9/1 Impact Wrestling Results
– Billy Corgan kicks off the show and makes the official announcement that he is the new TNA President. Given that they already announced this on social media, I’m not sure why they’re waiting three weeks to do it on TV, but whatever. Corgan retires the King of the Mountain championship and reveals a brand new Impact Grand Championship with some new rules – all matches will be fought using three, three-minute rounds, and there will be a panel of judges on hand to award victories if need be.
– Drew Galloway is out demanding a shot at the new title, but Corgan tells him the first champion will be crowned at Bound for Glory, with a single-elimination tournament taking place heading into the PPV.

Drew Galloway def. Braxton Sutter
– Rockstar Spud made his return and attacked Sutter after his match.
– The Miracle Mike Bennett is here. He blames Moose for costing him his title match against Lashley last week. He says that he and Moose are done, and this his focus is on becoming the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Doesn’t look like that’s going to be happening, as Dixie Carter comes out and announces it’s Bennett vs Moose at Bound for Glory.
