ROLL CALL OF CURRENT CHAMPIONS

Impact World Champion: Kenny Omega
Omega beat Sami Callahan in a great Sami Callahan-style match that made everyone go :staredog:. Then JAY WHITE showed up. Whose side is he on? Even those in attendance don't know!

Impact World Tag Team Champions: The Good Brothers
Super Elite stablemates of Kenny Omega, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson regained the tag titles in a four-team match where they actually pinned the champs, so it wasn't too screwy. I can imagine FinJuice being next in line, as the Good Brothers have never beaten them, and they just so happen to be stateside.

Impact X-Division Champion: Josh Alexander
The Walking Weapon is running out of challengers, having successfully defended his title in Ultimate X44. Might we see Option C invoked?

Impact Knockouts Champion: Deonna Purrazzo
Deonna Purrazzo beat Thunder Rosa. You read that right.

Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions: Decay
Now a fully-fledged member of the spooky group, Havok joins Rosemary as the newly minted champs. Fire N Flava will almost certainly get a rematch, and I can name a few wrestlers who got fired from WWE who can get slotted into the next challenger slot.

NEXT PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT: BOUND FOR GLORY
Live from Las Vegas, Nevada on October 23rd.

A few notes on last night's Impact PPV show.

The show went off the air as planned. They wanted the commotion, which ended up being an angle for New Japan to build up its 8/14 show in Los Angeles where Jay White laid out David Finlay. White vs. Finlay is one of the two main events for the show at The Torch at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

If they wanted to build excitement for an angle wouldn't it have made more sense to show the people watching the PPV the beginning of the angle instead of...not? doing that?

It's possible that NJPW asked to use the footage first, seeing as how White and Finlay are going to be wrestling at one of their shows.

Miscellaneous stuff:

W Morrissey said (on X-Pac's podcast) he's signed until Bound for Glory in October. Both sides agreed a tryout-type deal in terms of length was best for now

Lame.

And by that, I mean those paper-looking awards. You'd think a weightlifting competition would award things like specialized weightlifting belts.

Hell, if Cody can do it for each of his matches, why can't they?

Otherwise, awesome kicking rear end, Grace!

Yeahhh that sounds like it should be a stellar match and I'm not opposed to silly one-night tournaments.

Impact results (and some story beats) (via 411wrestling):

D’Amore leaves Dreamer with the responsibility of finding a no. 1 contender for Kenny Omega.
* The Good Brothers defeat Jay White and Chris Bey BeyBlade
* Taylor Wilde defeats Kaleb with a K
https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1420904845113020420?s=20
Backstage, Jay White reminds Chris Bey that he’s not in Bullet Club yet. He says Bey isn’t Bullet Club material after their last match. He’s giving him a redemption opportunity.
Gia Miller questions if Deonna Purrazzo is overbooking herself, with her involvement with Triplemania and EmPowerrr. Deonna introduces Alesha Zappitella, Invicta Atomweight Champion, as her trainer. Deonna also announces her entrance into the Homecoming tournament.

* No Way, Fallah Bahh, and FinJuice defeat Ace Austin, Madman Fulton, Shera, and Rohit Raju
Dreamer announces a number one contenders battle royal, for Omega’s opponent at “Emergence”.
FinJuice are backstage hyped after their win, but Jay and Bey BeyBlade jump them.
ELITE HUNTER KAZ appears out of nowhere to interrupt a Super Elite / Sami Callihan in-ring promo. Lays Super Elite out. 6-man tag between Super Elite and Kaz, Callihan and a mystery partner Eddie Edwards next week.
Su Yung appears to have gotten ahold of Kimber Lee. Kimber possibly undead now.

* Rich Swann & Willie Mack defeat Violent By Design (Deaner & Rhino)
* Moose defeats Chris Sabin

I'd argue that the parts where she was covered were the accidents given what those segments were going for. Now why the gently caress TNA thought putting RVDs sex tapes on Twitch was a good idea, I don't know

After this happened, the ECW guys stuck around as a stable, and the name of it was "EV2.0". And the fans tried to chant "E! V! TWO POINT OH!" like the ECDub chants but it was not good.

EDIT: I miss when guy's names were like Roadkill. Cass's new name should've been TOTALITY. Or, like, RANSACK.

What's the context behind BeyBlade wrestling The Good Brothers? I've only been watching Impact matches on New Japan World. I saw Jay turn up and The Elite offered him a Too Sweet, then he and Bey are wrestling Gallows and Anderson.

During White's first Impact appearance, White offered Bey a spot in Bullet Club and Bey said he'd think about it. Later White made fun of Good Bros for thinking the Elite was as good as Bullet Club, they attacked him, and Bey saved him

That just fundamentally misunderstood that most fans chant ECW as 3 syllables, not 5
