IMPACT Wrestling saw another paid advertisement from Tony Khan and Tony Schiavone. Khan said that the best moments of 2020 for IMPACT Wrestling involved his money and the AEW World Championship, before stating that IMPACT isn't even a real wrestling show. At least, not compared to AEW.
They plugged AEW Dynamite, specifically that former IMPACT World Champion Brian Cage would be challenging for the TNT Championship, his "greatest moment in his career." Khan laid out an invitation for anyone from IMPACT to show up on a "real" network.

Chris Bey and Rohit Raju vs Manik and Suicide on IMPACT Wrestling
Chris Bey and Rohit Raju rushed the masked men before the bell rang. Manik and Suicide's unorthodox offense was tough for them to keep up with, though. Bey and Raju fell to the floor, but managed to pick the ankles of Manik and Suicide.
Bey and Rohit lost their opponents when they went under the ring, and were caught off-guard by two dropkicks. A pair of slingshot crossbody splashes took them out.
Back in the ring, Manik hit his spiderman pose in the ropes, but was held by Raju, allowing Chris Bey to hit him with a dropkick. As Bey continued to focus on Manik, Raju worked over Suicide. Bey and tagged in and out, battering the former IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion.
Manik made it back to his corner, but Raju prevented him from tagging in, hitting a swinging fisherman's neckbreaker. Suicide blocked a suplex, and as Rohit tagged out, so did Suicide. Manik hoofed Bey into the corner and followed up with a double knee strike. The Detonation Kick laid out Bey as Raju was sent to the floor.
Suicide rushed back in, launching Bey into the corner with a shotgun dropkick. A modified Octopus stretch left Bey in danger in the middle of the ring. Raju tried to break it, but an abdominal stretch from Manik made it quite difficult. He managed to pull Bey out of the hold after struggling for quite some time.
All four men traded stiff shots, leaving Manik and Rohit Raju in the ring. A jumping knee from Rohit nearly knocked out the IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion. As he tried to unmask Manik, Suicide made the save. However, he was then caught by The Art of Finesse, giving Chris Bey another big win.
Results: Chris Bey defeated Suicide via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: B
