We got a preview of a new team coming to IMPACT Wrestling. Maybe? It was incredibly vague, yet incredibly intriguing. Who would be coming to IMPACT? Any ideas?

Tommy Dreamer spoke to the Knockouts Division, making a huge announcement regarding IMPACT Wrestling Hardcore Justice. There would be a No. 1 Contender's Weapons Match. The winner would go onto face either Jazz or Deonna Purrazzo at Rebellion.

Eric Young spoke about James Storm ahead of their IMPACT Wrestling main event match-up. As the leader of Violent By Design, Young vowed to show everyone the way. He already cleansed the soul of Rhino, baptizing him much like he did to Deaner.

IMPACT Wrestling was built on the backs of men like Storm and Young, but tonight he'd show The Cowboy and the rest why the world belongs to Violent By Design.

IMPACT moves to Thursdays at 8pm ET on @AXSTV starting on April 8th and we have an INCREDIBLE main event in store. @AEW World Champion @KennyOmegamanX, @MachineGunKA and @The_BigLG will face IMPACT World Champion @GottaGetSwann, @TheEddieEdwards and @Willie_Mack! pic.twitter.com/gppKjrIod3

The two former IMPACT Wrestling World Champions locked up with one another, with James Storm getting the better of Eric Young. EY escaped over the ropes, but ran back into a forearm smash. A knee drop/leg drop combination got Storm a quick two-count.

A distraction from Deaner, though, allowed Young to send Storm into the ring post. He followed up with a diving axe handle as we cut to the final commercial of the night.

Storm set up for a spinning reverse DDT, but Young blocked it. A tornado DDT off the second rope was stopped as well, and Young sent Storm into the turnbuckle with a northern lights suplex. A hangman's neckbreaker snapped Storm's head back for a two-count.

Storm responded with an inverted atomic drop and running neckbreaker. The Last Call superkick was blocked, but Young couldn't escape The Eye of the Storm. IMPACT Wrestling's World Class Maniac kicked out and brought Storm down with a neckbreaker before hitting a diving elbow drop from across the ring.

Young just could not put the multi-time IMPACT Wrestling tag Team Champion away. They traded rights, and Storm caught Young with a lungblower. Deaner distracted the ref, preventing the pin. EY sent him to the floor, bringing both groups close and bringing about a major brawl. As the ref tried to break things up, Young went for his mask.

Chris Harris stopped it, allowing Storm to hit the Last Call and win his 1000th match under the IMPACT Wrestling banner.
