IMPACT Wrestling Emergence Night One is here, and three titles were on the line tonight. Of course, in the main event, was the incredible IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Championship rematch. At 100%, could The North regain the gold, or would the Motor City Machine Guns pin "The Best in IMPACT" for the second time in a row?
Moose also put his TNA World Title up against Trey, who he thought was Suicide last week. After finagling a title shot out of Moose, would Trey be able to pick up his first championship in his IMPACT Wrestling career?
All that, plus The Good Brothers taking on Ace Austin and Madman Fulton, as well as a Wrestle House match between Kylie Rae and Taya Valkyrie. We kicked off IMPACT Wrestling Emergence Night One with the X-Division Championship three-way match.

TJP started off the match laying out Rohit Raju and Chris Bey with a big dive over the ropes. Bey stayed on the floor as TJP worked over the Desi Hitman. As Raju was sent to the floor, Chris Bey rolled in. TJP's springboard apron dropkick was countered when Raju shoved Bey out of the way.
Bey was caught in a modified sharpshooter, and TJP took Raju overhead with a northern lights suplex as well, looking for a pinfall or submission victory at the same time. Bey broke the pin up, thus ending the submisison. Raju laid out TJP with a big clothesline, but didn't hold the upper hand for long.

IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House
John E. Bravo and Crazzy Steve are seen playing with the stuffed dog and monkey, a sentence you probably didn't think you'd see here. Bravo demanded Steve cheer for Taya Valkyrie in her big match with Kylie Rae tonight, but of course, Steve wanted no part of it. In a short interview in the stooge room, Steve said he loved that the folks at IMPACT Wrestling: Wrestle House seem to be going crazy.
Larry D...well...now Lawrence D, was seen in a new suit with a new fragrance he calls "Ring Rust." Still fully enamored by Rosemary's spell, he would later attempt to bring the Demon Assassin back to his place. Well...his room. Acey Romero wasn't excited.
The Good Brothers cut a promo on Ace Austin and Madman Fulton, reminding them that The Machine Gun and the Big LG aren't just two of the boys. They're going to make Austin and Fulton famous tonight at IMPACT Wrestling Emergence.
IMPACT Wrestling "TNA World Heavyweight Championship": Trey vs Moose (c)

Moose rolled to the floor, where he caught Trey diving. A slam into the barricade, and a powerbomb on the apron seemingly left Trey spent on the floor.

Backstage at IMPACT Wrestling Emergence, Jimmy Jacobs attempted to interview Willie Mack about what happened between Eric Young and Rich Swann. Mack was furious that the World Class Maniac came in to ruin such a young career in a company where Young had already accomplished everything.
They were interrupted by Brian Myers, who hijacked the interview, forcing Jacobs to interview him. Myers said that he was furious that he was only seen as a good hand, and that an out of touch 70-year-old man was responsible for all the big decisions. As he attempted to leave, he was attacked by Willie Mack.
We were treated to another #Heath4IMPACT ad. Heath was upset that Joe Biden chose to pick his VP last week on a Tuesday, ruining his chances of trending on Twitter for IMPACT Wrestling.
