They stated on commentary that Madman Fulton and Shera were banned from ringside.
Bey tried to climb the ropes early but found everyone else ready to attack him. Everyone battled. Alexander wiped out Austin with a huge German release suplex. Rohit went to the top but found himself unable to get to the ropes, wary about it. He leaped for the ropes and missed, finding himself kicked by Alexander. Bey nailed a big flip dive to the outside on Alexander. Williams jumped to the outside with a rana. This led to a series of dives until Miguel hit a tornado DDT to the outside.
Everyone was out, leading to Rohit trying to toss a a rope around the cables to scale upwards like a mountain climber. This was pretty funny. He gets up there but Williams pulled him down. Williams nailed him with a kick. Bey scaled the cable and made his way across. Miguel followed him. Miguel went for a rana on Rohit off the top but Rohit held on, then speared Bey off the ropes. Everyone battled in the corner, setting up a potential Tower of Doom. Rohit tried to use a long stick to pull the X-Division title down but was unsuccessful. With everyone down, Rohit stood on a chair to try and reach the chair but Miguel used a missile dropkick to wipe him out.
Alexander went to scale the ropes but Williams scissored him to force him to drop down. Williams locked on a Sharpshooter on Miguel. Rohit joined in with a crossface. Bey joined in. Alexander scaled the ropes and ended up hanging upside down, locking an anklelock in on Bey. Everyone was in one connected submission until they all crashed and burned. The crowd chanted, "This is Impact."
Austin went to cross the ropes but Bey nailed him across the back. Austin was hit with a cutter as he was hanging off the ropes with each crashing to the mat below. Williams nailed a Destroyer on Rohit. He nailed one on Miguel and began crossing the wires. Bey was pulled onto Alexander's shoulders. Williams nailed a Destroyer from the ropes onto Bey, which was insane.
Alexander and Williams battled back and forth. Alexander cinched in the anklelock. Williams faied with a Destroyer and was nailed with a C4. Trey and Josh battled back and forth with blows. Rohit was able to drill each of them with kicks to the face. Raju climbed the ropes and made his way across the cables but was pulled down by Miguel. Miguel nailed a Scorpion Kick and a neckbreaker.

Your winner and still X-Division Champion, Josh Alexander!
Don Callis was interviewed outside of Kenny Omega's locker room. He blamed Tommy Dreamer for the main event being named a No DQ match. He said Sami Callihan was a sociopath and that concerns him. He said Callihan will do his worst but he won't be able to kick out of a one-winged angel. When Omega is done, Callis' work is complete.
Matt Cardona & his mystery partner vs. Brian Myers with Sam Beale & Tenille Dashwood with Kaleb with A K - Mixed Tag Team Match
As expected, Chelsea Green was Cardona's partner. I wonder if that means Mickie James for the title bout with Deonna.
Everyone battled on the floor. Myers nailed a Flatliner on the ramp on Cardona. Myers worked over Cardona untuil Matt blocked a suplex and nailed a neckbreaker. Cardona went to make the tag but Dashwood pulled Chelsea off the apron. Myers slugged Cardona and yelled at him for following him to Impact. He set up for a spear but Cardona speared him instead.
Green finally scored the hot tag. She cleaned house with a clothesline on Dashwood. Green nailed a kick to the knee and a big boot for a two count. Myers got in Green's face but she slapped him. That allowed Dashwood to knock her out of the ring. Myers and Cardona battled in the corner. Dashwood tried to low blow Cardona but hurt her arm as he was wearing a cup. He shoved the cup in Myers' face. Green nailed a Destroyer on Myers, who crashed to the outside. Green lowblowed Dashwood low and hit a Tomakaze for the pin.
Your winners, Matt Cardona & Chelsea Green!
