Last week, Sami Callihan shocked the world when he took the IMPACT World Championship from the hands of the "Machine" Brian Cage. After four Cactus Specials, including one form the second rope, the Draw finally captured gold, kicking off the AXS TV era in an unforseen way.
oVe kicked off IMPACT Wrestling by, "drinking beer like men," with new IMPACT World Champion Sami Callihan bragging about how the company has risen in the ranks of the wrestling world, and it's all thanks to him. Tonight, Callihan and his crew would continue to celebrate his championship win, as long as Tessa Blanchard didn't have anything to say about it.
We kicked off the night with an exciting one-on-one match with Moose and Willie Mack, two of IMPACT's best big men.

Moose vs Willie Mack
Moose dropped Mack with a shoulder tackle and nearly decapitated him with a discus lariat. Mack dodged and managed to send Moose rolling outside with a running hurricanrana. A somersault plancha took out Moose, although Mack landed right on his head.
Back inside the ring, Moose shook off a clothesline and rattled Mack's brain with two running dropkicks in the corner. Moose punished Chocolate Caliente with heavy strikes, and even took him from the top of the turnbuckle all the way to the mat with the Go to Hell. Mack kicked out, however, and began to fire up.
Mack took some chops and elbow strikes, but continued to stand tall, leading to a trade of chops between the two competitors. Mack won the battle, but Moose distracted the referee by tossing his elbow pad to the ground. As the ref had his back turned, a poke to the eyes left Mack blinded.
However, Mack recovered, withstanding a boot to the jaw and dropping the former NFL lineman with a Stunner and a huge running clothesline. The Samoan drop and the standing moonsault couldn't put Moose away.
Moose stopped Mack from diving off the top, and looked to finish him off with a superplex. Mack crashed on the mat below. Both men nipped up, but Mack was dropped on the ropes with a stun gun. The No Jackhammer Needed Spear cut Mack in half.
Results: Moose defeated Willie Mack via pinfall.
Backstage, Alisha Edwards was seen talking about her date with Ace Austin tonight. However, she felt that she couldn't go through with it, and went out to talk to the XXX-Division Champion. She heard Austin talking about how he's already bedded Alisha, bragging to Reno Scum in the stairwell.
With the cat now out of the bag, it looks like Alisha and Eddie may reconcile, and may have a surprise for Ace Austin.
Knockouts Champion Taya Valkyrie confronted Madison Rayne and Kiera Hogan about abandoning her in the six-woman tag team match last week. Rayne said that she made an executive decision, but would be happy to settle it in the ring for the title tonight. Valkyrie blew her off and turned the corner, where Jordynne Grace was waiting.
Thick Mama Pump felt that, since she pinned Wera Loca last week, she deserved a title shot. Valkyrie, though, had other plans, stating that she would be facing Rayne later on tonight.
Next up was a shot at redemption for Fallah Bahh. Last week, a little bit of encouragement...and a shared hobby, the Rascalz talked him into challenging the Unbreakable Michael Elgin to another match.
Michael Elgin vs Fallah Bahh
Elgin and Bahh absorbed each other's shots early on. Bahh refused to go down, even after taking some strong big boots. In the corner, Elgin was caught and Bahh landed a kick right to the ribs. A body slam left Elgin down on the mat for a corkscrew headbutt.
Elgin broke out at two, nearly getting caught early. He avoided an attack in the corner and sent Bahh to the apron with a dropkick. Bahh blocked the apron suplex, but was stunned by a superkick, leaving him leaning over on the apron where Elgin connected with the wrecking ball dropkick.
Back inside, Bahh kicked out at two. The two big men traded chops, but Elgin sent Bahh reeling with a pump kick. A clothesline set up for an amazing suplex from Big Mike as we cut to commercial break.
As we came back to the action, Bahh was launched overhead with an exploder suplex. As he set up for the big clothesline, Bahh crushed him with a running crossbody. Bahh made it to his feet first, laying out Elgin with clotheslines and chops. Elgin tried to launch Bahh into the corner, but Bahh burst out and sent him to the mat with another clothesline.
The Elgin Bomb didn't work, as Bahh simply dumped him overhead with a back body drop. Elgin tried to roll him up only to be sat on by the big man. Elgin kicked out and lit up Bahh with a running forearm. A striking combination allowed Elgin to spike Bahh with a German suplex. Bahh still kicked out.
Bahh was taken up top for an avalanche belly-to-belly. Somehow, Bahh stood right up, powering through the pain. A Death Valley Driver only saw Bahh stay down for a one-count. Elgin was planted with a Samoan drop, and a running hip attack in the corner left Elgin in a heap of trouble. A belly-to-belly piledriver barely put away Big Mike.
Elgin tried to catch Bahh with an Elgin Bomb as he moved up for a Banzai Drop. Though Bahh fought him off, Elgin yanked him off the top, possibly separating his shoulder on the ropes. Bahh continued to power through the pain, but was ultimately trapped in a crossface, ending the bout in a tap out.
Results: Michael Elgin defeated Fallah Bahh via submission.
Ace Austin met Alisha Edwards in the stairwell, ready to take her out for a nice dinner. Alisha said that they should just skip dinner and go right to her room.
Callihan and the rest of oVe entered the arena and walked through the halls, running into Tommy Dreamer. The IMPACT World Champion made fun of the Hardcore Icon's weight before the group walked off.
The North were asked about Josh Alexander's loss to Marufuji last week. Page said that Alexander could beat him any time. Either of them could change their diet and workout and end up either the X-Division or IMPACT World Champion.
However, because of Marufuji's win, and Alexander's need to get some revenge, they'll put their IMPACT Tag Titles on the line, as long as Marufuji can find a partner next week.
Joey Ryan vs Ken Shamrock
Joey Ryan oiled up as the bell rang and placed his sucker inside his trunks, absolutely disgusting the World's Most Dangerous Man. The two locked up, with Ken Shamrock bringing Ryan to the ropes. A few arm drags left Ryan escaping to the corner.
Shamrock caught Ryan in a sunset flip and locked in a heel hook. Ryan quickly moved to the ropes to break it up. As they made it back to their feet, a standing dropkick rocked the UFC Hall of Famer. He tried to shake Ryan's hand, but was instead brought in for his legendary flip.
Though Ryan was successful, he would ultimately be taken out with Shamrock's patented Ankle Lock.
Results: Ken Shamrock defeated Joey Ryan via submission.
oVe strolled into the locker room, where Jake Crist toyed around with Daga's jacket. Daga came in, and Callihan told Crist to give it back. However, Callihan attempted to intimidate Daga, handing him a beer with spit in it. Before Daga could throw a strike, Rich Swann pulled him away.
Madison Rayne vs Taya Valkyrie
Madison Rayne tried to show off her "Locker Room Leader" gear to Taya Valkyrie, only to realize that she was wearing the wrong trunks. Valkyrie flipped her over and delivered a running dropkick to a seated Rayne.
Valkyrie absolutely dominated the Queen Bee and even took time between attacks to pet her "dog" Hennigan. In the corner, Rayne avoided the double knee strike by tripping up Valkyrie. The former Knockouts Champion trapped Valkyrie in a cravate hold and battered her with knees to the face. We cut away for another commercial break.
As we cut back to the action, John E. Bravo tripped up Rayne, allowing Valkyrie to stomp out her opponent. Rayne managed to trap Valkyrie in an octopus stretch but was turned into an Air Raid Crash by the champion. A spinning spinebuster gave Valkyrie a two-count.
A pop-up knee strike gave Valkyrie another near fall. Rayne countered the Road to Valhalla with a victory roll. A step-up enziguri gave Rayne the opportunity to hit the Ripcord Cutter. As she pinned Valkyrie, Bravo tossed the "dog" at Rayne. This distraction was enough for Valkyrie to lay out Rayne with another knee strike and, finally, the Road to Valhalla.
Results: Taya Valkyrie defeated Madison Rayne via pinfall.
After the match, Jordynne Grace strolled down the ring. Valkyrie pushed Bravo into Grace, who was launched overhead with an exploder suplex.
Rosemary interrogated "Suzie" backstage. The Demon Assassin questioned her about their iconic war, killing "Bunnie" and more.
Rosemary walked off, and Suzie continued to introduce her to everyone, including Havok, who looked like she'd seen a ghost. Suzie thought that maybe they'd met each other, but couldn't place her and walked off. Havok was confused to say the least.
Bhupinder Singh w/Rohit Raju & Raj Singh vs Petey Williams
Singh was taken down by a tilt-a-whirl headscissors from the former X-Division Champion. Williams sent Singh into the ropes and followed up with a dropkick to the back. A second rope hurricanrana sent Singh to the outside.
However, that's where Singh picked up steam, countering another hurricanrana with a powerbomb. Inside the ring, a series of leg drops earned him a near fall. A uranage backbreaker nearly broke Williams in half.
A spinout sidewalk slam gave Singh another two-count. Williams fought out of another backbreaker attempt, and took down the big man with a tilt-a-whirl Russian leg sweep. Following a flatliner, Williams looked for the Canadian Destroyer.
Singh countered, bringing Maple Leaf Muscle to the pat with a powerslam. Williams escaped Singh's grasp and tripped him up for a Sharpshooter.
Results: Petey Williams defeated Bhupinder Singh via submission.
Singh chewed out the physically impaired referee, who fought back. Williams set Singh up for a 619, which the referee hit. Williams finished him off with a Canadian Destroyer, or so we thought. The referee then ascended the ropes, and crashed onto Bhupinder Singh with a 450 Splash.
Austin met Alisha Edwards at her room, where he was told to undress. Alisha went inside the bathroom to change, after tossing her "lover" a blindfold while the XXX-Division Champ quickly derobed.
Ace lifted his blindfold when someone touched his face, revealing who he thought was Alisha to be Eddie. He attacked Austin, but before he could use Kenny, Alisha demanded that she get a crack at him.
They chased Ace Austin out the hotel before making out on the hallway floor.
Johnny swinger met Petey Williams backstage, congratulating him on a great win. Little Petey Pump was then tossed Swinger's bag, as the Swing Man hoped he could be his "young boy" to take under his wing. Williams turned him down just as Sami Callihan and oVe moved closer to the ring.
Next week, the IMPACT Tag Team Champions will defend their titles against Marufuji and Eddie Edwards.
Sami Callihan and oVe finally arrived in the ring, with the new IMPACT World Champion gloating about his time in the sun. Before Callihan could get far, they were interrupted by Tommy Dreamer.
Dreamer called the Callihan Death Machine an internet troll, and the people are the real Draw. The ECW Legend then wondered what would happen if Madman Fulton, Jake & Dave Crist all left oVe and learned to fight for themselves.
Callihan challenged Dreamer to get in the ring, but Dreamer had a surprise for him, setting up a four-on-four No DQ match with Rich Swann, Daga, and Tessa Blanchard.
oVe vs Tommy Dreamer, Rich Swann, Daga, and Tessa Blanchard
Dreamer and Jake Crist moved to the ring while the rest brawled on the outside. Dreamer set Crist up in the Tree of Woe, and with a chair from Tessa Blanchard, drove the steel into Crist's face with a dropkick.
Dreamer set up for the DDT on the chair, but Dave Crist intervened. An elbow sent him outside, and as Dreamer looked to take out Jake, Madman Fulton rushed the ring, taking out Dreamer with a spin out facebuster. Daga rocked Fulton with a tilt-a-whirl DDT and a pair of kicks. El Jefe sent the monster outside with a missile dropkick.
Callihan dumped Daga outside, but his former friend Rich Swann came in to turn his world upside down. A tilt-a-whirl and hurricanrana left Callihan dizzy, but he again sent one of his enemies over the ropes. He turned around into Tessa Blanchard.
The Undeniable One dropped the champion with a cutter, sending Callihan to the floor. A rolling senton from the top rope saw Blanchard bowl into all seven men below. Swann attempted to continue the trend only to be stopped by Fulton. Blanchard met them, bringing Fulton down with a powerbomb, which saw Swann crash on the other side of the ring with a superplex.
Daga took out three-fourths of oVe while Blanchard looked to take down the former X-Division Champion Jake Crist. Callihan saved him, dumping his long time rival outside. Callihan set up Rich Swann for the Cactus Special, but was instead trapped in a roll-up.
Results: Rich Swann defeated Sami Callihan via pinfall.
