Take your daily dose of Indy Wrestling, Doctors orders.

Robert Roode no showed iMPACT! last week in an attempt to advoid an irate Fallen Angel. His plan backfired as this week Jim Cornette has allowed Christopher Daniels to select an opponent for Robert Roode on iMPACT! Cornette has since informed us, Daniels may not choose himself this Thursday.

With an entire roster to choose from, who will the Fallen Angel select to get revenge on the Cocky Candaian who cashes in his Feast or Fired World title match at Sacrifice?

April 24th 2008

We open iMPACT! in Jim Cornette's office as he looks to be going over the running order of the show tonight. Cornette's quite time is interupted when Christy Hemme comes into the room. She drops into the couch & puts her feet up on Cornette's coffee table before taking out a sealed envelope.

Hemme tells Cornette she has another message from TNA Management. Cornette asks for the envelope but Hemme rips it open & hands him the empty envelope before reading the contents aloud. Hemme states that TNA Management have decided to act & will appoint a new Co-Director at Sacrifice on May 11th. Hemme crushes the letter into a ball & throws it on the floor.

Hemme stands up & says she has to go get a suit if she is being appointed in two & a half week time. Cornette meanwhile has his head in his hands on his desk as the opening credits play.



After the credits we see Gail Kim backstage in new wrestling gear walking with a purpose. Leticia catches up with her & asks about the change in attitude in recent weeks. Gail says she did what she had to do & if she can get the pin fall in the next match, she will get whats she wants. A Shot at the TNA Knockouts Championship at Sacrifice. Gail ends the brief interview by storming off towards the entrance tunnel.


Awesome Kong & Gail Kim

vs.


Jazz & ODB

If Awesome Kong won, she got Sacrifice off. The other three Knockouts are fighting to get a title match at Sacrifice. ODB lost focus when she speared Gail through the ring ropes to the floor. ODB mounted Gail & laid into her with vicious punches as revenge for last week's unprovoked assault. While Andrew Thomas was trying to pull ODB off of Gail Kim, Angelina Love made her way to ringside & offered a hammer to Jazz to use on Kong.

Jazz took the hammer but then threw it out the other side of the ring. Angelina Love jumped onto the apron & argued with Jazz. Jazz clocked the Blond Bombshell with a right hand sending her to the floor. That delay in the offence of Jazz allowed Awesome Kong to regain her bearing & crush Jazz in the corner from behind. Jazz fell to her knees where Kong then kicked her in the back of the head.

Kong dragged the limp Jazz to her feet before hitting a devastating Awesome Bomb. The impact got the attention of Andrew Thomas who slid back into the ring & made the three count.

Result: Awesome Kong & Gail Kim via Pin fall.

After the match Angelina Love slides into the ring & stands over the fallen Jazz. Love then spits on Jazz before leaving the ring & heading backstage. Meanwhile ODB is still pounding away on Gail Kim on the outside as Security move in.



We go backstage now where Crystal is standing by with the TNA World Champion, Christopher Daniels.

Crystal asks Daniels if he has chosen an opponent for Robert Roode in Pick your Poison tonight. Daniels says he has but before he can go any further, he is interrupted by the former TNA World Champion Christian Cage. Cage tells Daniels no-one cares about Pick your Poison, they only care about the Instant Classic. Cage goes on to call Daniels a coward by not allowing him another shot at the belt.

Daniels cuts off Cage before he can say anything else. Daniels tells Cage to shut up & quit crying over losing to the better man three times. Cage is less than happy as Daniels continues. Daniels tells Cage he hopes he brought his wrestling gear as he will be in action later tonight. In the main event it will be Christian Cage vs Robert Roode.

Cage asks Daniels why shouldn't he just lay down for Roode to keep him fresh for Sacrifice. Cage continues by saying he has already cut a deal with Roode. On the iMPACT! after Sacrifice, Cage gets a title match. Roode gets his end of the deal next week. Daniels tells Cage he wont lay down due to the added stipulation. Whoever losses tonight, can not compete for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for one whole year.

Cage & Daniels go nose-to-nose to end the interview as Crystal sends us to Leticia who is standing by with the TNA X-Division Champion Homicide.



Leticia is straight to the point & asks Homicide who he wants to face out of all the contenders for his title. Last week Johnny Devine, Kid Kash & Matt Bentley all claimed they should be number one contender. Homicide simply says he doesn't care. He beat nine other guys to win the title & it'll take nine guys to beat him for the title. Leticia is about to ask another question when Jim Cornette cuts in.

Cornette tells Homicide he needn't loose sleep over who he will face at Sacrifice as it will be sorted next week. Johnny Devine will team with Matt Bentley to face Kid Kash & the guy he just got to stop bugging him Petey Williams in a tag team match. The winning team will both get a title match at Sacrifice in a three way match. Cornette walks off the set as Homicide looks less than thrilled at the news.

The next match is a Gang Warfare elimination match. Each elimination will earn the eliminating team two points.


Triple xXx

vs.


Sonjay Dutt & Shark Boy

vs.


RelliK & Judas Mesias W/ James Mitchell

vs.


The Naturals W/ Ms. Brooks

Senshi was on the wrong end of a Demon Driver but he was saved by The Naturals who took their chance & hit RelliK with The Natural Disaster to eliminate him aswell as Judas Mesias. Shark Boy hit Elix Skipper with the Chummer to make it a two on two match by eliminating Triple xXx.

With Chase Stevens down & Shark Boy holding off Andy Douglas, Sonjay Dutt climbed to the top rope for a Shooting Star Press. When he got to the top however, he got distracted by Ms. Brooks on the ring apron showing off her assets. Dutt losses his focus & stares at Ms. Brooks chest. Stevens meanwhile has recovered & jumped Shark Boy from behind. The Naturals quickly set up & hit Shark Boy with the Natural Disaster for the three count.

Result: The Naturals with two eliminations.

With the match over Ms. Brooks jumps down from the apron & Sonjay Dutt is brought back to reality. Dutt now realises he has cost his team the win & he is trying to apologize to his partner.
As The Naturals celebrate picking up six points as they head backstage we cut to Jeremy Borash & his guest at this time, Tomko.



JB asks Tomko if he has a plan for tonight wherein if Christian Cage losses, he cant compete for the TNA World title for one whole year. Tomko tells JB he set a target for himself. To ensure Cage doesn't become TNA Champion again. Tomko says he cant assure us that will happen tonight, but he does guarantee Cage wont have another title match for a year. Tomko continues by Saying at Sacrifice, Cage wont be having another match for at least ten years.

As JB thanks Tomko for his time AJ Styles cracks Tomko with a steel chair from behind. Tomko falls like a bag of bricks in agony. Styles stands over Tomko & mocks him. That is, until Tomko swings at Styles, Styles jumps backwards to avoid contact as Tomko is getting back to his feet. Styles does the smart thing & runs.



Next we are treated to a Black Machismo video. The video shows us the deep laceration Machismo suffered at Lockdown & goes on to tell us he needed 47 stitches as a result! The video also tells us had the cut been half an Inch lower, Machismo would have most likely lost his eye, at the very least he would have lost the use of it.

Their is some good news however, Black Machismo will be returning to action quicker than expected. Black Machismo returns to iMPACT! action on May 8th. Three days before Sacrifice.

We have another Gang Warfare match now, this time however, its double jeopardy. Meaning two matches are going on at once but it only takes one fall to end the match. Winner will receive three points for his team.


Austin Creed W/ Ms. Brooks

vs.


Jerry Lynn


Vampiro W/ James Mitchell

vs.


Sting

Jerry Lynn hit Vampiro with a Cradle-Pile driver on the outside. Vampiro remained unconscious for several minutes as Creed & Lynn ganged up on Sting in the ring. Sting did rally but it was pointless as he could only win by beating Vampiro. Sting sent Lynn out of the ring with a back body drop near the ropes. Creed punches Sting in the side of the head but it is having no effect.

Creed goes off the ropes & tries a flying forearm but it also has no effect. Creed shows his frustration by lashing out & kicking the ring ropes. As a result of turning his back on Sting he gets a Scorpion Death Drop. Sting pushes the lifeless body of Creed to one side as he climbs out of the ring to bring Vampiro back into the fray. As Sting drops to the floor he gets powder thrown in his face by the camera man.

The camera man then rams the camera into the head of Sting & suddenly Vampiro recovers. Vampiro pushes the blinded Sting into the ring before hitting him with the Vampiro Spike. Vamprio quickly kicks Jerry Lynn in the head to stop his re-entrance to the ring before pinning Sting for the win.

Result: Vampiro via Pin fall.

After the match, Vampiro is joined in ring by the camera man who we now see has a life like mask on & James Mitchell to celebrate. The mask is never removed.

As Vampiro celebrates his successful return to wrestling we cut backstage where Jim Cornette is joined by America's Most Wanted.



Chris Harris & James Storm are acting like they are trying to help Cornette with Sacrifice matches but Cornette isn't buying it. Harris brings up the tag title mess & asks who is getting the title match at Sacrifice. Cornette tells him The Motor City Machine Guns will be facing the Rock 'n' Rave Infection at Sacrifice for the number one contender-ship.

James Storm suddenly realises this means Samoa Joe & Black Machismo don't have a match at Sacrifice. Storm tells Cornette they are willing to bail him out of a tight corner by taking the match themselves. Harris thinks its a brilliant idea. Cornette doesn't.

Instead Cornette informs AMW that he has already sent one team away but now he is going to call them back. At Sacrifice it will be America's Most Wanted vs. Scott Steiner & Jeff Jarrett with the winners facing Samoa Joe & Black Machismo for the TNA World Tag Team Championships immediately afterwards. Cornette tells both Harris & Storm to leave so he can enjoy the main event in peace.

The main event is up next.

A video package plays highlighting the heavy detail & rivalries going into this match. From Tomko turning his back on AJ Styles in January to Christian Cage losing the TNA Heavyweight Championship to The Fallen Angel to Robert Roode attacking The Fallen Angel after Lethal Lockdown.


Robert Roode W/ Scott D'Amore

vs.


Christian Cage

With the stakes so high neither man was prepared to lay down for the other as it seems their deal Christian Cage mentioned earlier tonight has been thrown out the window. Roode impressed by kicking out of the Unprettier twice. Cage hit back by kicking out of The Northern Lariot & The Pay-Off.

Cage dug deep into his arsenal & came up with a Texas Cloverleaf that surprised Roode & caught him in the middle of the ring. With his title match at Sacrifice at stake Roode gave everything he had to crawl to the bottom rope to break the hold. Cage dragged Roode back to his feet but got a thumb in the eye for his troubles.

Roode quickly went for & hit another Pay-Off. Roode just as quickly pulled Cage back to his feet & dug deep into his own arsenal of moves & hit Cage with The Roode Bomb. Roode clearly in pain falls on top of Cage & manages to hook the leg for a three count.

Result: Robert Roode via Pin fall.

Roode doesn't have time to celebrate as Christopher Daniels makes his way to the ring looking for revenge. Roode tries to crawl out of the ring but Daniels gets to him first. Daniels pulls Roode to the centre of the ring & hits The Angel Wings. Daniels, not content, drags Roode back to his feet & hits The Last Rites. Daniels collects his TNA World title belt as Tomko makes his way to the ring.

Christian is only now coming to, but Tomko is already in front of him. Tomko backs Cage into the corner before grabbing him by the neck. Tomko squeezes as Cage turns purple. Tomko hoists Cage up into the air & hits a Choke-bomb.

Despite doing the damage, Tomko isn't satisfied & instead grabs some of the cable used by the camera men & wraps it around the neck of Cage. Tomko dumps Cage over the top rope & hangs him. AJ Styles quickly runs to the ring & smacks Tomko from behind with a steel chair for the second time tonight. Styles jumps out of the ring & along with security help Christian to the back.

We go off the air with an irate Tomko in the ring pointing at Styles & mouthing he's a dead man.

May 1st 2008

We open iMPACT! to the entrance music of L.A.X. Homicide comes to the ring with his X-Division title around his waist.

When Homicide gets to the ring he gives a quick speech telling us how great he is & how much the X-Division title means to him. Homicide then says the upcoming match features the four biggest pretenders he has ever seen in his life. Homicide finishes by saying it doesn't matter who wins the next match, he could beat all four guys at once. With that Homicide drops out of the ring & joins Mike Tenay & his broadcast partner whenever she feels like it, Christy Hemme for commentary.



Petey Williams & Kid Kash

vs.



Johnny Devine & Matt Bentley

Petey was out for a measure of revenge on Johnny Devine after Devine took out A-1 & Tyson Dux only a few weeks ago. The tunnel vision cost Petey dearly as Matt Bentley connected with Head on Collision as Petey was preparing for a Canadian Destroyer. Petey didn't get to fall to the mat however as Devine quickly caught him & ensured the win with Devine Intervention followed by the three count.

Result: Johnny Devine & Matt Bentley via Pin fall.

After the match, Devine started talking smack to Homicide who remained at the commentary position despite Christy Hemme trying to get him to go & fight. After seeing Homicide wasnt biting, Devine turned & ate Head on Collision from Bentley. Bentley stood over Devine & stared down Homicide. Bentley made a title belt signal before he got jumped from behind.
Kid Kash, who moments ago had been introduced to the ring steps by Matt Bentley, dragged Bentley to his feet & hit the Dead Level. Kash looked down on the three fallen competitors before shaking his head & leaving. On his way out of the ring, Kash stomped on Petey Williams' head for losing.



As Kid Kash backs up the ramp we are sent backstage where Christian cage & AJ Styles are arguing with Jim Cornette about the match Cage had last week. When Cage is finished screaming, Cornette calmly explains Christopher Daniels only got to pick the opponent, not the match stipulation. Cage asks if that means he can still get a title match, Cornette says yes but it has given him an idea.

Cornette goes on to say he heard all the rumors during the week about Tomko bringing someone to iMPACT! tonight. Cornette tells Cage he is booking a match for Sacrifice. Christian Cage & AJ Styles vs Tomko & his partner. The losing team, cant get a title match of any kind for one year. As Cage turns to leave clearly unhappy with the decision, Cornette pulls him back. Cornette says if Tomko's partner shows up here tonight, he will have his first TNA match tonight. Against AJ Styles.

Styles goes nuts & demands Cornette take it back. Cage tries to calm AJ while at the same time is moving him out of the room. Cage tells Styles to shut up before he gets them in more trouble.

As Cage & Styles leave Jazz comes in. Jazz is quickly to the point & asks for another shot at becoming number one contender to the Knockouts Championship after that slutty bimbo (Angelina Love) cost her last week. Cornette agrees with Jazz & makes a match for later tonight. Jazz vs ODB vs Gail Kim vs Angelina Love. The winner goes on to Sacrifice to face Awesome Kong for the Knockouts Championship. Jazz thanks Cornette before leaving. Cornette looks at the door way expecting another visitor but is relieved when no-one else shows up.

Our next match is a straight up tag team match in Gang Warfare. It features Sonjay Dutt & Shark Boy taking on Austin Creed & Austin Aries for three points.

With all four men in the ring & Ms. Brooks at ringside, Shark Boy demands a mic before the match starts. Shark Boy then asks Sonjay Dutt just who the hell they are facing tonight. Shark Boy asks if its Austin Aries & Austin Leo. Sonjay shakes his head while thinking hard about it. Shark Boy asks if its Austin Creed & the lead singer for Creed, Dutt again shakes his head. Creed & Aries however are not amused. Shark Boy asks if its Traci Brooks right implant & Traci Brooks left implant but before he can finish Aries & Creed jump start the match.



Shark Boy & Sonjay Dutt

vs.




Austin Creed & Austin Aries W/ Ms. Brooks

A very even match is decided when Sonjay Dutt goes to the top rope & Ms. Brooks again gets up on the ring apron. Sonjay is once again distracted by Ms. Brooks assets as Aries hits Shark Boy with a low blow in the ring. Creed then hits the bent over Shark Boy with a Creed-D-T for the win.

Result: Austin Creed & Austin Aries via Pin fall.

As soon as the bell rings Ms. Brooks jumps down form the ring apron & heads back up the ramp with her team successful again thanks to Sonjay Dutt getting easily distracted by her. Brooks taunts Dutt by blowing a kiss to him as he checks on Shark Boy. Shark Boy gets helped to his feet but soon shoves Sonjay off of him. Shark Boy & Sonjay argue in the ring until Eric Young runs in to calm them down & keep the team together.

We go backstage now where Leticia is standing by with another Gang Warfare Team Captain in Kaz.



Leticia asks Kaz how he feels about being the only team yet to score any points. Kaz asks how does she think it feels. Kaz answers for Leticia by saying its humiliating. Kaz says he went out & picked X-Division wrestlers because he thought they were some of the best in TNA. Kaz say apparently the X-Division isn't what it used to be. Kaz says when he was X-Division champion, the X-Division was the most competitive & best group of athletes in the world. Now, they cant even beat a group of retards who think they are monsters, A team with a guy who thinks he's a shark or even a team made up of Traci Brooks' bitches.

Jerry Lynn comes on screen & tells Kaz to relax, their is plenty of time left to win. Kaz says he doesn't care about winning anymore, he's doing it for his own pride since his partners don't seem to have any. With that Kaz storms off to leave Leticia with a shocked Jerry Lynn. Leticia has to get on with her job so she sends us to Crystal with Christopher Daniels.



Crystal starts by asking Daniels if he got the desired reaction from Christian Cage after his stunt last week regarding the stipulation for the main event. Daniels tells Crystal he got more than he was expecting with the hissy fit earlier in the evening but he is not here to talk about the man he has beaten three times with the TNA World title on the line. Daniels says he is here to address his opponent at Sacrifice, Robert Roode.

Daniels tells Roode he is nothing more than a coward & it has shown in the way he keeps avoiding him. Daniels tells Roode he should have just came to the ring & announced he was using his title match at Sacrifice, Daniels said that would have been the smart thing to do. At this point Daniels points out that Roode is Canadian so therefor smart things don't cross their minds.

Daniels tells Roode he didn't just kick the savage dog, he tried to run him over in a truck & for that Roode will pay the ultimate price.

Daniels tells Roode he will receive his last rites as The Fallen Angle makes another Sacrifice, this time tho, he wont be holding back. Daniels leaves the interview set as Crystal looks quite confused with what Daniels has just said.

The following contest is the Knockouts match announced earlier tonight. The winner of the match will face Awesome Kong at Sacrifice for the Knockouts Championship.



ODB

vs.



Gail Kim

vs.



Jazz

vs.



Angelina Love

ODB again let revenge motives get the better of her as she chased Gail Kim out of the ring & backstage. Angelina Love would rather they stay as she is now left one-on-one with the same woman she spit on only last week. Love tried to hit & run but Jazz soon blocked her & took her down with a hip toss. Jazz then stood on the hair of Angelina Love before pulling her up by the arms. Love screamed in pain as Jazz pulled harder.

Eventually, Andrew Thomas convinced Jazz to stop. Jazz stepped off the hair of Love but she isn't done by any means.
Angelina Love tries to crawl over to the ropes but Jazz pulls her back to the middle of the ring & locks in an STF. Love screams out in pain & taps out.

Result: Jazz via Submission.

Despite having won the match, Jazz isn't letting go & just pulls back harder. Andrew Thomas tries in vain to break the hold but Jazz has it in tight. Love was still tapping but she soon passes out from the pain & goes limp. Jazz still doesn't let up but does break the hold, but only after Velvet Sky kicks her in the face from her blindside. Jazz falls backwards holding her face as Velvet Sky drags Angelina Love out of the ring & helps her backstage.

As Jazz recovers in the ring she make a cut throat sign to Velvet Sky who is looking back towards the ring. Sky continues backstage with her injured partner Angelina Love. Jazz exits the ring as Mike Tenay sends us backstage to Leticia who is standing by with the Number One Contender for The Fallen Angel's World title, Robert Roode.



Leticia begins to ask Roode a question but Roode cuts her off & tells her to just hold the mic. Roode then turns his attention to the camera. Roode tells us he is on the hottest streak of his life & he is convinced it will continue. Roode reminds us of what he has done recently, from Re-Starting Team Canada to Beating Scott Steiner & Jeff Jarrett to sending a message loud & clear to Christopher Daniels at Lockdown. Roode then turns his focus to Daniels. Roode tells Daniels that he isn't afraid of his attempt at mind games earlier tonight. Roode goes on to say he isn't afraid of Daniels period.

Leticia chimes in & asks if Roode isn't afraid, why has he been avoiding the Champion recently. Roode again tells Leticia to shut up but admits she raises a valid point. Roode says he has been avoiding Daniels but only because he wanted him at 100% for Sacrifice. Roode said he doesn't want Daniels to have an excuses when he loses the TNA World Championship in just over two weeks. Roode finishes by telling Daniels, he'll see him at Sacrifice.

As Roode leaves the set, The Outlaw makes his way on. The Outlaw seems to be pissed as he gets in the face of Leticia. The Outlaw simply tells Leticia things will be changing around here after Sacrifice. Leticia asks The Outlaw what he means but The Outlaw just walks off.

We come back to ringside where "Wanted" is playing over the loudspeakers as the Eight man tag is next.




America's Most Wanted
Rock 'n' Rave Infection

vs.




Motor City Machine Guns
Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner

In a preview of two Sacrifice matches the action was fast paced & non stop. Harris & Steiner brawled on the outside while Jimmy Rave sent Jeff Jarrett into the crowd. Rave dived over the security rail but Jarrett moved so Rave crashed & burned into steel chairs. As Jarrett turned he got drilled in the head with a steel chair from Lance Hoyt. Alex Shelley came to Jarrett's aid when he dived over the fans in attendance & hit Hoyt with a cross body. Shelley mounted Hoyt & begin laying in rights & lefts.

Back in the ring Chris Sabin & James Storm have managed to avoid most of the scattering out process. Storm borrowed The Catatonic from his partner Chris Harris to finally stop the hyper Machine Gun. With Sabin down Storm called for the Last Call but Scott Steiner grabbed his ankle from outside. Storm kicked Steiner in the head as Harris clubbed him in the back. Storm turned back to Sabin & found himself up on Sabin's Shoulders. Sabin went for & hit James Storm with the Cradle Shock for the three count.

Result: Motor City Machine Guns, Jeff Jarrett & Scott Steiner via Pin fall.

Despite the match being over the war continues. As Sabin was celebrating his victory Chris Harris came in & hit him with a steel chair. Harris then launched Sabin over the top rope to the floor below. Chris Harris then lined up one of his opponents at Sacrifice in Scott Steiner who was crawling into the ring. Harris crashes the chair into the back of the head of Steiner knocking him out cold. Harris then put the chair around the neck of Steiner & went to the second rope.

Harris took aim but stopped short of jumping when Samoa Joe's entrance Music played. Joe charged to the ring & took out Harris in seconds. Joe then sent James Storm sailing over the ropes as he struggled to get to his feet in the first place. Joe then takes the chair off Steiner's neck & throws it towards Harris on the outside. Joe helps Steiner to his feet but then hits a step up enziguri. Steiner stumbles backwards & into the ring corner. Joe lifts Steiner to the top rope & hits a Muscle Buster! Joe raises his TNA World Tag team Championship over his head before pointing to the big screen.



A new Black Machismo video plays, it shows Machismo & Samoa Joe becoming TNA World Tag Team Champions along with successful title defences. The video finishes by announcing Black Machismo is returning to action next week!



As the video ends we cut backstage where Jeremy Borash is trying to catch up with James Mitchell. JB finally catches up with Mitchell before asking for his thoughts on how Gang Warfare has been going for his team so far. JB points out that Mitchell's Monsters have fallen three points behind Ms. Brooks team due to their win earlier tonight. JB then says Mitchell's Monsters do have a match in hand however, next week RelliK & Judas Mesias will face Triple xXx in tag action.

Mitchell tells JB he talks too much & continues walking without answering the question. JB catches up with Mitchell & asks him if he has anything to say to Triple xXx before next week.

Mitchell says he doesn't & opens the door of his locker room. Mitchell flips on the light & is greeted with a message on the white wall in what looks like blood. Mitchell reads the message aloud, "Your Sacrifice is coming."

Mitchell asks JB if he knows anything about this, JB shakes his head as he stares at the blood message. Mitchell pushes past JB & out of the locker room to end the segment.

Its main event time on iMPACT! now!



AJ Styles

vs.



???

With AJ Styles already in the ring, Tomko makes his way out to the top of the stage. Tomko has a mic in hand as he eyes up his former partner. Tomko tells Styles he enjoyed working with him for those few months. Tomko says he actually started to like AJ, but then AJ went & screwed it up by becoming Christian's lackey again. Tomko says he knew what was coming & it was only a matter of time before they lost the TNA Tag Team Championships. Tomko tells Styles that the loss hurt him. It hurt him more than the beating he got during the match. Tomko says it was like someone ripped out his insides, that's how much being a champion means to him.

Tomko tells us he went on hiatus. Tomko tells us he had to do some soul searching & find someone with the same passion & someone he can trust. Someone who will have his back in his time of need. Tomko says he found that someone. Tomko introduces his new Tag team partner, The Giant Bloom!

With that the man who has had more name changes than Matt Bentley comes onstage & stands beside his partner, forming a very intimidating tag team. Tomko & the man formerly known as Giant Bernard in Japan & A-Train in WWE make their way to the ring. AJ Styles doesn't wait for them & charges with a suicide dive through the ropes. Tomko is knocked onto his back but Bloom just stumbles. As Styles gets back to his feet Bloom grabs him by the throat but Christian Cage makes the save. Cage clubs Bloom in the back allowing Styles to break free & hit a Pay Lay on Tomko on the outside.

Bloom picks up cage & tosses him into the ring post hard before Styles dropkicks Bloom in the back to send him face first into the ring post. Styles grabs a chair from ringside but security quickly move in to break up the fight as iMPACT! goes off the air.
