The main event is the #1 contender match between Johnny Impact and Garza Jr. But there's plenty more action as Rosemary competes, Moose bizarrely goes to confront Lashley again, and there's a pretty big mixed 6 person tag match featuring James Storm!
5150 Street Fight is On!
After a video teaser for some footage from Pro Wrestling NOAH opened the show, LAX make their way to the ring. Konnan started doing his thing but LAX are all business as Santana takes the mic and called oVe out.

Dave and Jake Crist are not slow in going out to the ring, with chairs in hand, to answer LAX's call and confront them. LAX challenge the Crist brothers to a 5150 street fight, to which they eagerly agree, despite not knowing what match stipulation was, as they're 'not afraid of anything'.

However it appears the boys from Ohio bit off more than they could chew as Diamante eagerly tells them that in a 5150 street fight, it won't just be 2-on-2, it'll be all four of the LAX. A brawl then ensues and naturally, the numbers are too much for the current tag champs, with Dave Crist being put through a table.
It seems that oVe are all but guaranteed to succumb to the numbers game at Bound for Glory.
Taya Valkyrie confronts Rosemary!
There's a whole host of video packages from Eli Drake, a recap of the Moose and Lashley feud and some hype footage of the #1 contendership match later on. Eventually, Rosemary makes her way to the ring to face enhancement talent, Hannah Harper.
Poor Hannah Harper, imagine getting to work that evening and finding out you'll be facing Rosemary in the ring, thankfully, it didn't last long as Rosemary hit Red Wedding to end the match quickly.
Result: Rosemary def. Hannah Harper
It is quite obvious that the squash was to make Rosemary look dominant quickly, as the story here is about her and the relatively new Taya Valkyrie and how Taya might finally be a challenge for Rosemary.
Taya came out after the match to confront Rosemary and the demonic wrestler gladly invited Taya to the ring because she seemed worthy of her brand of violence.
One thing Rosemary wouldn't have bargained for is Taya misting Rosemary and then hitting 'Road to Valhalla'. It looks like Taya is definitely up to Rosemary's challenge.
We see the clip from last week's Impact of Moose confronting Lashley at the American Top Team facility and how badly it went for Moose.
Taryn Terrell then makes her way to the ring. She says that now she has her title shot at Bound for Glory in the bag she can focus on things that matter. And apparently 'things that matter' means insulting Gail Kim. Terrell says she can't understand why Kim's husband would marry a loser like her.
Naturally this garners a response from Kim who swiftly makes her way to the ring simply to tell Terrell that her mind games aren't working, before hitting her with a huge slap to prove that perhaps the mind games are working. The two then exchange blows.
Huge name announced to return for Bound For Glory
Alberto is back! The Pride of Mexico is announced to be returning at Bound for Glory. The video simply askes 'what will he do?' Guess we'll have to wait for Bound for Glory to find out.
Bound for Glory rivalries build during tag-team action!
Impact sure is going for it with the video packages and backstage segments today, as we have even more. We see a backstage interview with Texano, Caleb Konley and Sienna, where all three say completely random things. Before the match, there's also more Grado and Joseph Park antics, this time with Park rolling up outside with a group of female 'interns' who call the 'meal ticket'.
Now onto the match. We get some pretty simple but highly entertaining 3 on 3 mixed tag action here, but it definitely did the job of furthering the animosity between Texano and James Storm. The match started with Storm opening and getting isolated by the heel team.
Shortly after this, there was a bizarre moment when Sienna tagged in and went after Storm. Josh Matthews then said that Allie must enter as this isn't an intergender tag match, but Earl Hebner stopped Allie from entering when she tried to, so clearly this is a mixed tag match.
The finish came after the match devolved into a brawl. Xavier tried to go up top to finish Konley but Trevor Lee interfered and knocked him off. It doesn't matter though as James Storm, who is apparently the legal man hit Last Call on Konley for the win. A staredown between Storm and Texano then ensue.
Result: James Storm, Desmond Xavier and Allie def. Texano, Caleb Konley and Sienna
Also, Desmond Xavier looks like quite something.
More video packages
We've only had two actual matches in this episode and one was a squash match, but more video packages follow. This time, we see Eli Drake, Eddie Edwards and Garza Jr talking about their time at Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan and another video plug for Global Forged.
We then see a video of LAX discussing their plans for oVe at Bound for Glory. Although it's essentially more of the same as we saw earlier. They did, however, announce that Homicide would be back for Bound for Glory, making the odds even worse for oVe, but conspicuously Low Ki isn't there.
It was also revealed via video package who would be joining Moose as he returns to the American Top Team facility to get his revenge and a friend of his also pulls up. And it's UFC fighter Stephen Bonnar with a steel pipe.
And Eli Drake's Bound for Glory opponent is...
Garza Jr gets the early momentum as Eli Drake watches on from backstage, hitting a top quality suicide dive and employing a liberal use of the steel ring steps to ground the high-flying Impact.
Johnny Impact fought back however and is able to use the steps to hit a sweet elbow spot before attempting 'Starship Pain'. Garza Jr managed to avoid this and hit a backbreaker for a near fall.
The pair exchange near falls until Garza Jr locked in a Boston Crab leading to a series of reversal and rollup pin attempts between the two that either man could have come out on top of. In this case, Johnny gets the 1-2-3
Result: Johnny Impact def. Garza Jr
After the match, Garza Jr and Johnny Impact shake hands. Impact then attempts to cut a promo on Eli Drake who is still watching from the back, but he gets laid out by Chris Adonis who breaks a wooden board over Impact's head.
Moose gets revenge; sort of
Whilst the #1 contendership match was the main event, we're not done with this taping of Impact yet as we need to see the results of Moose and Stephen Bonnar's trip to the American Top Team facility... via video package.
As you can see there's no-one there when they arrive so they just settle on trashing the place, destroying their display cabinet and merchandise collection to end the show.
