This week's edition of Impact on AXS opened with clips of last week's show.  We are days away from the Under Siege PPV this Saturday at Impact Plus, which you can get two months free using code REBELLIONX.

Rosemary with Decay vs. Havok

The winner will challenge Deonna Purrazzo this Saturday at Under Siege.

They faced of before the bell and shook hands, then refused to release for a moment.  

They slugged it out but neither had an early advantage.  They charged and hit big kicks at the same time but again, no advantage.  Rosemary charged but was drilled across the knee and then sent into the buckles.  Havok nailed a big avalanche in the corner, then hit a running Facewash with the boot to the face.   Havok covered Rosemary for a two count.  Havok locked on a crossface, trying to force a submission and nailed some hard shots to the face.  Havok trapped her and nailed clubbing blows across the face.

Rosemary was worked over in the corner.  She kicked off a charge in the corner and hung off the ropes for an armbar.  She nailed a big missile dropkick from the top.  Havok retreated to the corner, where Rosemary charged with a big forearm.  Rosemary was unable to nail a slam but reversed Havok's momentum into a suplex variation for a two count.  Rosemary speared Havok and scored a two count.  Rosemary grabbed an inverted DDT but was elevated into Havok's shoulders and hit with a tombstone piledriver for the pin.

Your winner, Havok!

Deonna Purrazzo hot the ring and attacked Havok.  She went for a big boot but was caught and stopped.  Havok went to nail her but Deonna escaped, only to find herself in Rosemary's clutches.  Rosemary tossed her back into the ring, where Havok nailed a tombstone piledriver as Decay kept Kimber Lee and Susan at bay.

D'Lo Brown and Matt Striker previewed the lineup for Under Siege this Saturday.

Gia Miller interviewed Kenny Omega, The Good Brothers and Don Callis.  Gallows said their confidence is back.  Anderson promised to lay out David Finlay tonight.  Omega said the team had lost their moment but Kenny was the reason they got it all back.  He said he was the reason they are winning and he is going to support them the way they support him.  Anderson said they are the best trios team in the entire world and Eddie Edwards and FinJuice are going to deal with something they can't overcome.

Scramble Match: Petey Williams vs. Acey Romero vs. Ace Austin vs. TJP vs. Rohit Raju vs. El Phantasmo - Winner challenges X-Division Champion Josh Alexander at Under Siege PPV.

Everyone battled at the bell.  Lots of fast sequences early on.  Austin was caught diving off the apron by Romero and slammed inton the barricades.  Romero was spotlighted early, including catching Williams going for a rana to the floor and powerbombing the Canadian star.

TJP was caught by El Phantasmo, who walked across the ropes while holding his arm.  He grabbed Austin, who was on the top, and hit a DVDR off the ropes onto the pile of everyone battling below.  That was pretty damn cool.

After a commercial, TJP was in control, working over Williams in the corner.  He nailed a Facewash but Raju hit the ring and wiped him out with a big cannonball.  Romero hit the ring and CRUSHED Raju but Austin and Phantasmo broke up the pinfall.  They doubleteamed Romero.  Austin nailed a series of kicks on each of them but was sent to the floor.  Williams nailed an inverted lungblower on Phantasmo and drilled him with the Canadian Destroyer.  TJP broke up the pinfall for a two count. Everyone began wiping out each other with big moves.  Austin nailed a reverse flip dive to the outside on Romero.

On the floor, Madman Fulton and Larry D got into it and began brawling.    Raju went for a Pounce on Romero but bounced off.  TJP nailed Romero with a kick.  TJP nailed the Detonation Kick on Williams and went to the top for the Mamba Splash but missed.  El Phantasmo nailed a frog splash for a two count.

TJP and Phantasmo battled back and forth.  Phantasmo scored the pin with a package piledriver.

Your winner, El Phantasmo!

Frenzied, fun match.

It will be Phantasmo vs. Josh Alexander this Saturday night for the X-Division title.

Backstage, Susan and Kimber Lee met with Scott D'Amore.  He wanted to know why they needed cameras here.  Susan wanted to document that Tenille Dashwood cheated against her.  She said Taylor Wilde and Dashwood were in cahoots.  Scott made a tag team match for next week.  Susan said no.  Scott offered the match at Under Siege.  Susan said she'll tolerate it and they left.

They aired a Flashback Moment with Gail Kim vs. Havok.

They aired another great Violent by Design vignette.  Eric Young said failure will not be tolerated.

At Swinger's Palace, Alisha Edwards, having lost all her money, is now dressed as a Swingerette.  Johnny tries to hit on her and she reminds him she's a married woman.  TJP showed up and paid his losses since he didn't win the X-Division number one contendership.  He wanted to know the odds for Tag Titles.  Fulton and Austin showed up and said they were the top contenders.  XXXL showed up and nearly got into it with them.  Shera and Rohit Raju showed up and said they deserve to be the top contenders.  Everyone argued.  Swinger told John E. Bravo to go to Jack Tunney and get the match made.  TJP revealed Petey Williams will be his partner.  He asked Williams for the odds. Petey said he didn't know them but knew someone who did. Maple Muscle showed up but no one wanted to hear it.

Willie Mack vs. Sam Beale

It will all Mack early on until a Beale big boot.  Beale nailed several shots and knee strikes to the mid-section.  Mack came back with a big lariat.  Beale avoided a charge but was caught with an elevated forearm.  Mack went to the top for the frog splash and nailed it for the pin.

Your winner, Willie Mack!

W. Morrisey hit the ring and attacked Mack from behind.  He nailed Mack with a big boot and left him laying.

Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champion David Finlay said he was going to once again prove to The Good Brothers and Kenny Omega that they were the better team.  They will have Eddie Edwards with them.  He said Omega was the difference, so they'll have a Kenny of their own, brandishing the Singapore Cane.

They aired a Slammiversary PPV promo.

We went to another edition of Tenille Dashwood's "It's All About Me" with Dashwood and Kaleb with A K.  Taylor Wilde showed up and said she needs to talk to Dashwood.  Dashwood thought she was here to talk about their tag match this Saturday.  Wilde said that wasn't what she wanted to talk about - she wasn't happy Dashwood cheated in her match last week.  That's not how Wilde rolls.  She said that no matter what happens at Under Siege, they are not friends and not a tag team.  Dashwood and Kaleb were oblivious.

Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champion David Finlay with Juice Robinson & Eddie Edwards vs. Karl Anderson with Kenny Omega & Doc Gallows.

They locked up with Anderson forcing Finlay into the ropes and raking his face.  Anderson worked over Finlay for some time, raining down with punches and scoring several two counts.  Finlay fired back with a headbutt to the mid-section but Anderson smashed him into the corner and ripped at his face.  Gallows drilled Finlay as Anderson distracted the referee.

Anderson maintained control, stomping away and cinching in a rear chinlock.  Finlay mounted a comeback but Gallows grabbed his leg.  Finlay took him out with a dive and hit a backbreaker over the knee for a two count.  Finlay locked on an Indian Deathlock on Anderson but Kenny Omega hit the ring to make the save.

Your winner by DQ, David Finlay.

Everyone brawled.  Eddie Edwards cleared the ring with the Singapore Cane.

Backstage, Chris Sabin said he feels a little guilty he wasn't there for James Storm last week, even if Storm didn't want him at ringside.  There was no reason for Moose to attack and injure Storm after the bout.  He teased he would be going after Moose tonight.

Backstage, Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champion Jordynne Grace wasn't happy about losing earlier tonight to Tasha Steelz.  Rachael Ellering said she has to take the anger and be mad and then bring it out at Under Siege and take them out Saturday.  Grace said she can do that.

Brian Myers vs. Crazzy Steve with Decay

Steve's wackiness had Brian off kilter.  Myers went to the floor and bumped into Black Taurus, then acted like he had been knocked down.  The referee tossed Taurus, who was innocent. After a commercial, Myers was in control, continuing to work over Steve while antagonizing Rosemary.  Myers nailed a big suplex for a two count.  Myers locked on a chinlock.  Steve made his way out but was rolled up and Myers grabbed the ropes, scoring the pin.

Your winner, Brian Myers!

Black Taurus returned and slid in behind Brian, attacking him.  Decay stood over the prone Myers.

Backstage, Gia Miller asked Don Callis what happened tonight.  He said pro wrestlers are like animals.  You can't let the inmates run the asylum.  Scott D'Amore said that they need more executives getting involved.  Don Callis said he was told he didn't have to get involved with talent.  Scott said he got involved with Moose last week and that led to James Storm being hurt and being out indefinitely.  Scott told him if he's an Impact exec or Omega's family and should make a decision.  Callis said they are golden bookers.  D'Amore said a good start would be if they were in the same book and stormed off.

D'Lo and Matt Striker ran down the updated Under Siege PPV lineup.

Moose & Chris Bey & Sami Callihan vs. Trey Miguel & Chris Sabin & Matt Cardona

Sami Callihan and Chris Sabin started.  He sent Sabin into the Callihan corner but Sabin fought his way out.  Sabin nailed a dropkick and drove Callihan backwards.  Cardona tagged in and nailed several clotheslines.  Callihan drilled him and grabbed a side headlock.  They showed Don Callis and The Good Brother watching from the back.  Chris Bey tagged in but was nailed with a flapjack and a big backdrop.  Trey Miguel tagged in and nailed a back senton splash for a two count.

Bey was sent into the corner but rebounded with a lucha style armdrag.  Miguel nailed a double stomp and went for a swinging pendulum before driving Bey to the mat.  Bey rolled to the outside.  Miguel went for a dive but was nailed by Bey and stunned in the ropes.  Moose caught him with a big boot.  Bey worked over Miguel as they went to a commercial.

After they returned, Moose was beating Trey in the corner.  Callihan tagged in and continued the beating.  

Team Moose continued to tag in and out, working over Miguel.  Bey peppered him with right hands to the kidney and mid-section.  Miguel came back to nail a sunset flip but Bey kicked out and cut him off with a dropkick.  Miguel grabbed the ropes to prevent being pinned but was wiped out.  Moose tagged back in and nailed a BIG slam.  Moose used his boot to try and smother Miguel then stomped away at him.  Callihan tagged in and slammed Miguel, then ripped away at him with a side chinlock.  Miguel fought his way out and finally made the hot tag to Cardona.  Matt hit a big clothesline and double stomp on Bey.  Bey went for the Facewash and drill him.  Sabin tagged in and nailed a missile dropkick but Moose broke up the pinfall.  Everyone battled in the ring.  

Migiel nailed a tope con hilo to the outside on Moose but Moose caught him and went for a powerbomb, only to see Miguel nail a rana that sent Moose into the ring post.  That was great.  Callihan went for a Cactus piledriver on Sabin but it was broken up.  Bey nailed a spinebuster on Sabin.  Cardona drilled Bey with Radio Silence.  Moose speared him.  Miguel nailed a missile dropkick.  Sami and Trey battled.  Sami nailed a DVDR on Trey.  Sabin was caught by Callihan with a piledriver and pinned.
