Results: @loosejonnyt
Impact Wrestling was at the Rebel Entertainment Complex in Toronto on Monday to conclude two straight nights of television tapings. The Impact World Championship and Knockouts title were defended, and the build to October’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view began.
Impact tapings —
– Austin Aries, Killer Kross, and Moose opened the Impact portion of the tapings after Moose’s heel turn on Sunday. Moose said Eddie Edwards is a fraud and he exposed him, mentioning that he had Edwards’ back when Edwards was having problems but Killer Kross was the only person who checked on Moose when he was concussed. Aries told Moose that he’d never be number one if he catered to the fans.
Johnny Impact interrupted and set up him challenging for Aries’ World Championship at Bound for Glory. They brawled until Kross and Moose took Impact out, with Aries hitting him with a chair shot to the throat.
– Petey Williams defeated Rich Swann
Matt Sydal was on commentary and ended up distracting Swann, leading to Williams hitting the Canadian Destroyer for the finish.
– The Desi Hit Squad defeated Grado & Joe Hendry
Singh cut a heel promo before the match. Hendry had a video about his platonic love for Katarina.
Grado was pinned, and Katarina asked what’s wrong with him and called him an embarrassment. She said she doesn’t love Grado. She tried to kiss Hendry, but Hendry said he only loves her as a friend. Katarina slapped him.
– Eli Drake defeated Stone Rockwell
Rockwell answered Drake’s open challenge. Drake then won a quick squash.
– Knockouts Champion Tessa Blanchard defeated Su Yung to retain her title
Blanchard won with a hammerlock DDT. Yung attacked Blanchard after the match when she was distracted by the Undead Bridesmaids bringing out a casket.

Callihan continued to attack Austin after pinning him, then said that his and oVe’s feud with Pentagon Jr. and Fenix will never end.
– Austin Aries, Killer Cross, and Moose entered for a sit-down interview. Aries said we won’t see Johnny Impact or Eddie Edwards for a long time. Fallah Bahh and KM interrupted them, with KM calling Aries a liar and a bad champion.
