The Good Brothers were leaving IMPACT when they saw their vehicle had been tampered with. Some police officers showed up just in time, wondering why there were opened containers in their vehicle.
Ace Austin came out to make things worse and antagonize the Big LG, forcing Doc Gallows to chase after him. An accidental elbow to the Sheriff was enough to put him behind bars for the night, leaving Anderson alone at the IMPACT tapings.

Next up was the IMPACT World Championship Open Challenge. Eddie Edwards awaited his opponent, who turned out to be Sami Callihan. However, just as his entrance started, he was laid out by Rob Van Dam with a steel chair. Van Dam and Katie Forbes celebrated before being escorted out by security.
Callihan, of course, refused to back down and looked to challenge for the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship, regardless of the attack. Edwards and Callihan have serious history. For those unfamiliar, Callihan nearly ended Edwards' career after bashing in his skull with a baseball bat, leading to Edwards changing up his style to a more aggressive brawler in the process.
It could be argued that Sami Callihan made Eddie Edwards who he is today in a horrible and cruel sort of way.
IMPACT World Championship: Sami Callihan vs Eddie Edwards (c)
Eddie Edwards tried to calm down Sami Callihan, but was slapped across the face by The Draw. Edwards planted him with a Tiger Driver, but couldn't get the win. Callihan avoided a move in the ropes, sending Edwards to the floor. He followed up with a suicide dive that launched Edwards into the barricade.
Callihan tossed the IMPACT World Champion in the ring, but Edwards used that force to his advantage, running through to the ropes and bouncing off with a dive of his own.
On the apron, Callihan dug at Edwards' eye before planting him with the Cactus Special. However, Edwards fell to the outside of the ring, forcing Callihan to bring him inside and buying the champ some time.
Callihan took Edwards inside and looked to wear down his long-time rival further. However, Edwards broke away from Callihan's grasp, leading to a double clothesline.
Edwards began picking up momentum, lighting up the challenger before planting him with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a two-count. A sunset flip was countered with a superkick, leading to a brainbuster for Callihan and another near fall! A GTS/running forearm combination nearly knocked Edwards out, but again, he kicked out.
Callihan lost control of the bout when an enziguri connected, allowing Edwards to plant him with another Tiger Driver. He still couldn't get the win. Callihan responded with the Cactus Special, and that would've been it if Edwards' foot wasn't on the rope.
Callihan brought in a chair but, unlike the Callihan of old, decided against it. This allowed Edwards to connect with, not one, but two Boston Knee Parties, continuing his reign after a brutal back and forth.
Results: Eddie Edwards retained his IMPACT Wrestling World Championship against Sami Callihan via pinfall.
Grade: A-
Kylie Rae saw John E. Bravo leave, which infuriated Rosemary and Taya Valkyrie. Rosemary asked why he abandoned them, and Rae said she was just trying to help him take Rosemary's hint. Rosemary laughed before screeching for Tommy Dreamer, who popped in to say "Match Time!"
Valkyrie was the ref which seemed a little unfair. The IMPACT Knockouts Champions teased Rae, but Smiley Kylie seemed to easily outwrestle the Demon Assassin.
After trying to "take Rosemary's nose" Rae took Rosemary down with a running uppercut and cannonball senton. Valkyrie gave an unreasonably slow count, giving Rosemary time to recover.
A spear cut Rae in half, but even a fast count couldn't give Rosemary the win. Rosemary was distracted by John E. Bravo, who had returned to chant for her. Her heart all a flutter, she turned into a superkick. Valkyrie, reluctantly, counted the pin.
Bravo comforted Rosemary, and was torn between starting a relationship with her and angering Valkyrie. Rosemary said Taya didn't have to know.
Backstage, Karl Anderson called Gallows, telling him that IMPACT was going to get him out of jail. Ace Austin turned the corner and was immediately met with a right hand. However, Austin had back up via Madman Fulton waiting in the wings.
The former IMPACT X-Division Champion laid out Anderson with a cane shot, finally getting some revenge on The Good Brothers for what they did at IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary.
