Reviews, Top Story

Eli and Moose walk into the building with their cases on the line in their match. Cage vs. Lashley is recapped and they’ll have another match tonight. Aries talks from his home about getting a call to come back to Impact and not wanting to do so. Why put that on TV? Alberto trains for their PPV match and we’ll get a deeper look at that later. Lashley calls Cage out and says that he got a fluke win and he deserves a real chance to face him – and if he wins then, then Cage is a man. Lashley jumps him and lands some sick Taz-style crossfaces on the apron. Cage hits a seated electric chair facebuster and lands a German too before hitting a Death Valley Driver for 2. Cage goes up top and gets stopped, leading to Lashley getting 2 off a superplex. Cage eats a German and gets up before eating a spear, but he kicks out at 2.5. The Drillclaw ends it for Cage and gives him his second win in a row over Lashley.

Rosemary faces Taya next week as well. KM bullies Richard Justice and tells him to come down for a match. KM comes in the ring and says that Justice is a fat embarassment to wrestling and he’s so fat that when he orders a bowl of cereal, it comes with its own lifeguard anf if he buys a waterbed, they just put a sheet over the pacific ocean. KM beats him up before the Cult of Lee comes down to beat up both Justice and Fallah Bah. Tyrus comes down to save the other fat boys and tells a kid to not mock KM like that and that it’s nice to say someone’s just Sienna’s lackey. Eli cuts a promo on leaving with all the cases.
