#1 Josh Alexander replaced by Steve Maclin on IMPACT Wrestling

Josh Alexander opened the show expressing his frustrations at an unhinged Morrissey receiving a world title shot ahead of him. Big Kon (fka Konnor of The Ascension) interrupted and the two had a match where Alexander made Kon tap out to the Ankle Lock.

Alexander refused to let go of Kon's ankle despite the match being over which prompted security to head to the ring. Alexander attacked all of them following which Scott D'Amore made his way to the ring only to be shoved by Alexander accidentally.

The two had a back-and-forth verbal disagreement with Alexander, threatening to leave IMPACT Wrestling if he didn't get his title shot. D'Amore removed him from Team IMPACT at No Surrender and sent him home.

Backstage, Steve Maclin asked D'Amore to place him in Alexander's spot on Team IMPACT to avenge Honor No More's attack on him the previous week. D'Amore later conferred with Team IMPACT and they asked ROH World Champion Jon Gresham to be on their side.

Later in the night, it was revealed that Gresham had been attacked backstage. Following a tag team match between the teams of Mike Benett & Matt Taven and Rich Swann & Rhino, Maclin saved Cary Silkin from an attack from Benett & Taven.

Upon Ian Riccaboni's recommendation, Edwards, Swann, Sabin & Rhino reluctantly agreed to Maclin's addition to the team.
