They aired a video feature on Eric Young and Joe Doering’s recent reign of terror.
Rhino vs. Eric Young with Joe Doering
Rhino attacked Young immediately with the former Impact Champion retreating to the floor to slow the momentum. Young poked Rhino in the eye but was unable to garner any momentum. Rhino quickly overwhelmed him and drilled Young into the buckles several times. Young was whipped hard into the corner and did the Flair Flop and ran to the next corner, only to be caught and slammed off.
Young rolled to the floor, where Rhino worked him over and sent him back in. Doering distracted Rhino, allowing Young to come off the apron and attack him from behind as Rhino and Doering argued. Rhino was sent into the barricade and then slammed on the apron. Young worked him over with a series of shots to the neck and chest while Rhino was out on the apron. Back in the ring, Young worked over Rhino with elbows and smashed him into the corner. Rhino began firing up and hit a HUGE backdrop on Young.
Rhino nailed a short arm clothesline and set up for the Gore but Doering got up on the ring apron. Distracted, Rhino was caught with a leaping neckbreaker. Young rained down with punches and choked Rhino against the ropes. Doering drilled Rhino with a right hand while the referee was warning Young. Young scored a two count. Young does an absolutely phenomenal job in his current persona, playing a ridiculously believable psycho.
Rhino kept kicking out but continued to take a beating as Young walloped him with kicks. Young kept working over Rhino, who started to mount a comeback. Young kicked off Rhino as he charged in the corner but missed a top rope moonsault.
The competitors were down on the mat as the referee counted them down but Rhino made his way to his feet first. Young charged but Rhino nailed a belly to belly suplex and drilled him in the corner. Young blocked another belly to belly suplex but was caught with a TKO for a two count.
Rhino whipped Young into the corner but accidentally took out Brandon Tolle in the process. Doering got on the apron but Rhino kicked him low. That left him open for a Young superkick. Young grabbed the hard mask that he carries but Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake hit the ring. Deaner grabbed the mask and screamed he wasn't a nobody, but then attacked and nailed Jake with the mask. Deaner stared at the mask and dropped it. Young stared and smiled at Cody, nodding. Deaner walked out as Jake rolled out of the ring to the floor.
Young grabbed the mask and drilled Rhino in the face with it. Doering roused Tolle, who counted three.
Your winner, Eric Young!
Another solid match. This was more about the storyline twist of Deaner going to the dark side and he’ll obviously be the latest member of Young’s crew.
Backstage, Scott D’Amore was yelling at a staffer that Gia Miller should not have gotten to the bus and that Don Callis left explicit instructions. Karl Anderson showed up and he was on the list. He said, “Family reunion time” and headed outside to Kenny Omega’s bus. So, they are obviously building to Good Brothers with Omega, at least in Impact and one would think in AEW as well.
They aired a video feature on X-Division Champion Rohit Raju
The Defeat Rohit Challenge
The X-Division Champion came to the ring and welcomed all the nimrods watching at home. He said that he's been proving he's the greatest Indian wrestler Impact has ever seen. He's the most successful story of 2020. He said that it's been really good that he's been proving everyone wrong and that has solidified him as the greatest X-Division Champion of a lifetime. He said this is the final Defeat Rohit Challenge of 2020. Everyone wants to know who can beat Rohit.
The graphic and music for Manik, one of TJP's other personas, played. He appeared on the top rope and attacked Raju with a flying bodypress. He hit a bunch of fast paced offense on Raju, including a big backdrop.
Raju reversed an Irish Whip and Manik caught himself in the ropes. Raju charged but Manik moved and Raju was sent to the floor. Manik nailed a twisting dive to the floor and tossed the champ back in the ring. Raju nailed a running boot but was taken to the mat and nailed with a curb stomp.
Manik whipped Raju hard into the corner and hit with a running elbow. Manik tied up Raju in the Octopus and rolled him to the mat for a close two count.
Manik went right after the leg and tied up Raju on the mat. Raju shoved him outside the ring. Manik went under the ring and Raju was trying to decipher where he went as the referee began counting. Manik emerged behind Raju and nailed a neckbreaker for a two count. Manik charged him in the corner but was sent up and over to the outside. Raju kicked him on the apron. Manik drilled him but was caught and hit with a front-face suplex after being draped off the ropes for a two count.
Raju kept kicking and stomping Manik, scoring a two count after an elbow. Raju's intensity in the ring is greatly underrated. There are no missed movements in anything that he does physically.
Raju nailed a series of kicks and strikes, then nailed a back suplex for another two count. Raju sent Manik into the corner but was kicked off. Raju regained control and nailed a Side Russian Legsweep for another two count. Manik continued to work over Manik, stomping at him. He yelled that Manik wasn't slick and ripped at the mask. He placed Manik on the top rope and again went after the mask. That was sort of silly since the announcers made it clear it's obviously TJP underneath.
They battle back into the ring, where Raju nailed a clothesline and went for a move but was caught with a knee and a GTS. Manik went for a suplex but was elbowed off. Raju rebounded off the ropes but Manik had gone to the buckles and leapt off with a DDT for a close two count. Manik went for a move off the ropes but Raju moved and caught him with a pair of charging knees and a rolling senton in the corner. That looked great. Raju nailed a Flatliner for another near fall. Raju trapped him in a crossface submission. Manik maneuvered it into another Octopus but Raju fought his way out. They ended up in the ropes and the submission had to be broken.
They battled back and forth with punches and forearms. Manik caught him with a spinkick and KO kick to the head. Raju was rocked but ducked another. They kept going back and forth and teased bumping the referee several times but it didn't happen. Raju went for a knee strike but Manik moved. Raju stopped himself and was rolled up for the pin.
Your winner and new X-Division Champion Manik!
The last few minutes of this was very good. Raju has been one of the unsung heroes of the company in 2020, so hopefully this isn’t the end of that title run for him. It’s beyond silly to say TJP can’t have any more title shots while Raju is champion but then have him under a mask and winning the belt while the announcers are acknowledging that he’s TJP under the hood.
Backstage, Gia Miller asked TNA Champion Moose why he was here tonight since Willie!

Backstage, Gia Miller asked TNA Champion Moose why he was here tonight since Willie Mack isn’t cleared to compete after the beating Moose gave him. He said that he holds the most prestigious title in pro wrestling and that no matter who wins the Impact title tonight, Chris Beyn or Rich Swann, he’s watching.
