Interested to see how Tasha Steelz is booked in this one against someone over double her size like Havok.
Havok is selling pretty good for the kicks and holds of Tasha so far after Tasha got Havok to the mat.
Havok making her comeback so it is not looking good for Tasha in this one but she is giving it her best shot.

Havok hits the piledriver and gets the pinfall victory thanks to the interference.

Into Swinger’s Office where Bravo is taking the money from Alisha and Fallah.

CRAZZY STEVE W/ ROSEMARY VS. LARRY D W/ ACEY ROMERO

Can’t say how much I love this version of Crazzy Steve than his regular blind crazy clown gimmick.

Larry D is playing up the “Jail changed me” thing now yelling that Steve doesn’t know what it is like.

Trey Miguel

Gia Miller is not interviewing Trey Miguel on him coming back to Impact Wrestling. He said people have only seem him walk with two crutches since before Impact.
This is his way to prove he can stand on his own two feet before the hack happens and Sami appears sending Gia off.
Sami says Trey has zero loyalty for throwing his boys under the bus when they have only been gone for a cup of coffee.
Sami gets in the head of Trey telling him to look at himself in the mirror before walking off.

XXXL Interview

XXXL are now being interviewed in the back about their hesitation about attacking Rosemary out there.
Larry D says it doesn’t matter who they are, XXXL are not scared of anyone. Tenille and Kaleb with a K comes in to offer her services to fight Rosemary.
Looks like we have a match at No Surrender with XXXL and Tenille against Decay and a mystery partner.
Who will team up with Decay at No Surrender? Maybe offer Big Money Matt some money to lend them the services of Broken Matt?

SUSAN W/ DEONNA PURRAZZO & KIMBER LEE VS. JORDYNNE GRACE W/ JAZZ

Backstage, Jordynne, Jazz and ODB talking about ODB saying she had her food truck outside and wanted to stop some bullying.

ROHIT RAJU VS. TJP

Seems like Rohit does watch the show as he appears to be aware that this is match without the title on the line. See how it is done WWE?
TJP dropkicked out of the ring by Rohit after TJP does his hangout in the ropes spot. This is our commercial break moment.
Back with Rohit in control of TJP stomping away at him in the corner.
Thanks to the commercial break this is actually our longest match of the night so far with TJP making his comeback.
Loved the move by TJP flipping and hitting the feet in the jaw of Rohit coming off the top turnbuckle. TJP ent under the ring but Mahabali Sheera comes out from under the ring with TJP.

MOOSE & CHRIS BEY VS. RICH SWANN & TOMMY DREAMER

Is Dreamer just wearing his Cody team jacket from All In? Does he just repurpose all his stuff?
Dreamer and Bey starting the match out with neither getting an advantage impressing Chris Bey.
I don’t think it is ever going to be a compliment to say something is starting to look like Terry Funk.
Back to the action from commercial with Moose taking it to Dreamer before Swann tags in.
Really liking the slow build of Moose and Rich Swann. Both men should look like a million bucks if we ever get that unification match.
Really good job booking this with Tommy showing off a few different moves in order to build to his match against Swann.
Dreamers avoids the Spear from Moose with Moose spearing Swann. Moose turns it into the pinfall to get the victory as Bey holds Dreamer off.
