Grand Championship and Th row Back Thursday
Matt Sydal vs. Ethan Carter III (Grand Championship Match)
Trending
This match is set up in the usual Grand Championship style with three rounds. The two guys had a nice opening exchange and it moved outside. Ethan Carter III slammed Sydal's head off the apron a few times and then they moved back inside. EC3 captured the first fall after a vertical suplex that ended Round 1.
EC3 up 1-0
Matt Sydal got busy right away during the second round and hit a running knee for a two count. After some more back and forth action, Sydal hit a standing hurricanrana, EC3 got on the apron and had his feet kicked out from underneath him and Sydal hit a dropkick through the ropes. Round one ended after EC3 received a kick to the back of the head.
Tied at 1-1
EC3 got a cheap shot in before this round kicked off. The two fought well after that with some reversals and other smooth wrestling. They really did work well together but that is to be expected when you're talking about these two because they really are on the top of their games.
Carter hit a flatliner for a two count, then he tried for a One Percenter but it was reversed and Sydal hit a few knees to the face which didn't look pleasant to take. In the end, Sydal went for a shooting star press but Ethan Carter III moved and they both bumped heads as the third round concluded.
Match Ends In Draw - EC3 retains the Impact Wrestling Grand Championship
Bobby Roode vs James Storm
Yes, you read that right. Impact Wrestling featured a match "from the vault" between Roode and Storm. This match was mainly highlights from their 2012 Bound For Glory confrontation. After Roode took a superkick and fell back into a pile of thumbtacks, James Storm covered for the win.
Winner: James Storm via pinfall
Park, Park, and Park
They played a commercial for Park, Park, and Park. A guy slipped and fell so Joseph and Chandler roll in and ask him if he has legal representation. Then they tell him they have his back.
They throw out a bunch of scenarios of accidents and say "we are here for you!" That's a neat gimmick they have going there.
