MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS VS. BULLET CLUB 2, JONAH AND PCO BRAWL IN THE STREETS OF PHILLY & MORE: IMPACT WRESTLING ON AXS TV REPORT

Welcome to this week's Impact Wrestling on AXS TV report!

The show opened with a look at everything that led to tonight.

We are at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA with Tom Hanifan and Matt Rehwoldt on the call.

ROH Champion Jonathan Gresham came to the ring for a promo.  He said he was here to share the true essence of Ring of Honor and what professional wrestling truly is, but along came Honor No More.  The foundation of ROH was built by men like him,self, Samoa Joe, CM Punk and Edddie Edwards but Eddie is no longer than man he was back then.  Now, he represents something completely different.  They will face off at Rebellion.  Kenny King came out and said that Gresham was being used by ROH and Honor No More voted to take him out.  Since he's decided to stand back up, King said he's not interested in his Pure Rules or a worthless piece of metal from a dead company, he's going to pound him into the dirt.

King entered the ring and they rang the bell.

Gia Miller asked them why they answered the challenge.  They said they are back to beating people up.  They got screwed last week against Violence by Design and by Honor No More.  They are going to run through seven other teams at Rebellion.

There was screaming in the background.  It was PCO screaming for Jonah in the ECW Arena parking lot.  When they returned from commercial, PCO was still screaming for him but was attacked by Jonah.  They braawled around several trucks and around the arena's loading dock.  Jonah powerbombed PCO on some equipment outside.  PCO screamed in pain and Jonah yelled at him to stay down.    

Jonah grabbed a sledgehammer and nailed PCO several times.  He placed a piece of concrete over him and smashed it with the sledgehammer.  PCO shot back to life and grabbed Jonah by the throat.  Jonah fought off a chokeslam but was run into a wall.  PCO smashed him into a truck and then opened the door and smashed it over and over on Jonah's head.  Jonah was left laying.  PCO grabbed a shovel and began digging dirt and dumping it atop Jonah.

Last week, Mickie James was interviewed after being attacked by The Cardonas.  She said that Chelsea is as much of a sellout as her husband.  She tried to stay neutral even though Nick Aldis and Matt Cardona had issues but now Nick is going to make Aldis pay.  She said this going to be a real asswhipping at the Multiverse of Matches.  

Gia Miller knocked on Matt Cardona's locker room, seeking to speak with Green.  Cardona was pissy Gia didn't want to talk to him and grabbed Green.  Green said Mickie asked her over and over not to help her so she didn't.  The irony is that at Sacrifice, Mickie didn't want help but who came running to save Chelsea.  Mickie has been tied up instead of giving her the title shot she deserved and now she's not the champ so she's getting her shot at Mickie.  Matt Cardona said Mickie and Nick have been married for seven years and have accomplished nothing.  They have been married since January and have taken over the business.  They will see Nick and Mickie at the Multiverse of Matches.
