Pretty good to great show here. Shamrock rules. Trey/Ace was good. Glad Taya retained, nice finish, she continues to be the best. RVD's new music that debuted at Bash at the Brewery the other night is amusing. Disappointed to not get RVD/Cage, was looking forward to that. But Elgin/Eddie delivered another showstealer, that was awesome. Eddie had to win coming off Elgin just beating him last week but some real good near falls still after Eddie took a ridiculous amount of offense before a solid lucky finish. Moose as 80s Savage was great, him and Rhino was a total blast. Sucks that Swann got injured, at the time I just figured it was a storyline way to eliminate him from that match. Willie Mack's doomsday Canadian Destroyer was holy shit that looked killer. Finish was weak though with Mack's stunner barely affecting Page.

Amazing main event, delivered as expected. Dug the big fight feel from the entrances/intro. Great underdog babyface performance from Tessa. After four Magnums, I kept waiting for the Buzzsaw DDT as the finish that hadn't been hit all match and it finally comes in the end. The Canadian Destroyer keeps on as the year's favorite move. Felt like all night they had real quick cutaways from most of the post-match stuff so it was weird to have no real big celebration for Tessa's epic victory. Fitting blowoff match to a great rivalry. Even though it's odd for Sami to have such a short overall reign, I guess it fits his character. Looking forward to what direction it all goes next. Loved Josh's line at the end "Life as we know it has changed forever!"

 

Full results for anyone who missed:

 

*Ken Shamrock def. Madman Fulton (9:01) via arm/shoulder hold submission

-It was announced that Rich Swann would be unable to compete tonight due to injury.

*Ace Austin(c) def. Trey Miguel (12:58) after the Fold to retain the X Division Championship. After the match, Ace tried to get a kiss from Trey's mom in the crowd so Trey beat down Ace until being separated by referees, the Rascalz, and Reno Scum.

*Taya Valkyrie(c) (w/ John E Bravo) def. ODB & Jordynne Grace (11:40) to retain the knockouts championship after Jordynne hit the Grace Driver on ODB but Taya stole the pin while Bravo held Grace.

*Rob Van Dam vs. Brian Cage doesn't take place as RVD attacks Cage during his entrance and bloodied him with a steel chair after the Van Terminator. Daga ran out to back RVD off of Cage and ended up replacing him in the match..

*Rob Van Dam (w/ Katie Forbes) def. Daga (4:15) with the Five Star Frog Splash

*Eddie Edwards def. Michael Elgin (19:58) with a sunset flip to retain his Call Your Shot trophy

*Moose def. Rhino (12:13) after the Spear in a hardcore match.

*The North (Ethan Page & Josh Alexander)(c) def. Willie Mack (10:40) to retain the tag team championships

-Impact returns to PPV with Rebellion in New York City in April.

*Tessa Blanchard def. Sami Callihan(c) (23:57) to WIN the Impact Worlds Championship after the Buzzsaw DDT following 2 Canadian Destroyers.
