Impact Wrestling finished building toward April 22’s Redemption pay-per-view (PPV) with a Monday night of filming at Universal Studios in Orlando. These episodes, from the first batch under the direction of Don Callis and Scott D’Amore, probably won’t air until March or April.
Results are compiled from a variety of live reports, which are subject to a couple levels of interpretation, and final production of the material for airing on television usually changes context, so...
Take these with a grain of salt, is all I’m saying. Still the big matches, winners/losers and story beats are here.
Filmed Monday, Jan. 15:
- Alisha Edwards def. Laurel Van Ness (Exclusive for Global Wrestling Network)
- Eli Drake def. Moose in a “Case vs Case” match. Drake now has upcoming shots at the tag titles and the World championship. oVe interfered to attack Moose, but Eddie Edwards evened the odds and helped take them out. Drake hit Moose with a baseball bat, but he kicked out, then Eli hit his finisher for the win.
- Petey Williams def. Josh Mathews via disqualification when Matt Sydal gets involved on Mathews behalf. They beat down Petey after the decision.
- Fallah Bahh, Richard Justice, and Tyrus def. KM, Trevor Lee, and Caleb Konley
- Rosemary def. Taya Valkyrie in a No DQ Match after hitting a piledriver off the top rope through a table.
- Eli Drake announces he’s cashing in his tag title shot case at Redemption. His partner will be Scott Steiner. Big Poppa Pump is here, and confirms the PPV will take place in Toronto.
- Moose def. Sami Callihan via DQ after Callihan uses a bat. Edwards gets involved in an attempted oVe beatdown of Moose again, as does his wife. When Alisha gets cornered by the heels, the lights go out and Tommy Dreamer is there to chase oVe off.
- At Redemption, Dreamer will team with Moose and Eddie against oVe in a House of Hardcore match.
