Swan with a handspring cutter, pin, two-count. Crowd sort of into this match. Swann heads to the top rope, but is too slow as Sydal crotches him on top.

Cover, 1-2-no! Swann recovers, drops Sydal, moves up to the top rope really slowly. A fan (?) shows up and ends up powerbombing Swann down to the mat. Oh, it's Ethan Page. Sydal ends up stealing the victory.

- Random location in Mexico City, Eddie Edwards walks into a building to find Moose and Alisha Edwards. She yells, but Moose tells him to drop the weapon and have a seat on the other side of a very long table. Close-up views of both Moose and Edwards (super intense!). Edwards wants Moose to let Alisha go, but Moose passes on that. Edwards tries to talk some sense into Moose about teaming up with Killer Kross and Austin Aries. He says they aren't his friends, but Moose doesn't like that. He reminds Edwards about when he was going through some stuff with Sami and Tommy, who was there for him? Edwards says Moose should just beat him up and let Alisha go. Alisha ends up throwing water in Moose's face and Edwards strikes, allowing her to get to the other side of the room and yell "Eddie!" over and over. Killer Kross shows up and tries to choke him out, Edwards digs his eyes, Alisha throws him his kendo stick, he wacks both guys and bails. Edwards and Alisha run out of the building, Edwards stops (?!) and calls Johnny Impact to let him know Austin Aries is currently by himself and Impact should get him. Impact agrees and heads off.
What an incredibly tense face off between @TheEddieEdwards and @TheMooseNation. These two are going to destroy each other at Bound For Glory. #IMPACTonPop pic.twitter.com/WusQMLZVHi
? IMPACT (@IMPACTWRESTLING) October 5, 2018
- Backstage, Impact is searching the building for Aries. He doesn't have much luck at first, asking multiple people where Aries is at. He thinks McKenzie is interviewing Aries and interrupts what they're done. It's just some random person, Impact welcomes McKenzie back and heads off to look for some more.
- Impact heads down to the ring. He just decides to call out Aries, who finally decides to come out. Aries out to the stage with a sling around his arm. The champ takes a mic a cautiously gets in the ring. Aries says he's suffered some injuries as a result of Impact smacking him in the head with his own title. Aries say he's concussion, has nerve damage in his arm, he twisted his ankle...and has a bad back. Impact says not to worry, he wants to get Aries at Bound for Glory. Impact says he's not about finding "goons" to help them out, Impact says the title should be about Aries vs. Impact. Impact then wonders if Aries will come out at Bound for Glory by himself just like he did tonight.
"Who are you this week? You Johnny Nitro? You Johnny Mundo?...You're going to be on Survivor – are you Johnny Survivor?"
@AustinAries unleashes a FEROCIOUS attack on @TheRealMorrison's chances at Bound For Glory. #IMPACTonPop pic.twitter.com/NBTg0jMtUg? IMPACT (@IMPACTWRESTLING) October 5, 2018
Aries says Impact has his word Killer Kross and Moose won't come out to the ring during that match because he doesn't need anyone to beat him. Aries cracks a joke about Impact having a whole lot of names, "You have been putting a lot of eggs into 15 Easter baskets, and you haven't filled one of them yet." Aries says he's the mastermind of pro wrestling while Impact just a jack of all trades, but not a master of anything. Impact is getting a little heated and asks if he's tone. Aries says's he's not! Aries says Impact "looks" like he should be the champion, but he's a really good "pretend pro wrestler." Aries then lays out what's going to happen at the PPV, Impact is going to have all the flash, but no substance, and Aries is going to retain that title.
"Your whole career you've been trying to put eggs in 15 different Easter baskets, and you haven't filled one of them yet."

Aries says Moose ended up joining him after he realized he couldn't beat Aries, so much Impact should do the same. Impact finally gets on the mic and says so he could either beat Aries, or go with the second option of working with Aries. Impact says he'd rather get stretchered out than follow Aries. So, Aries says if that's the case there's only one thing to do...and smacks Impact in the face with the microphone. He tosses the sling (the arm is fine!) and tries to hit Impact with the title. He misses, Impact with a kick, hits starship pain, and Aries rolls to the floor. Impact holds up the title.

She then talks with Trevor Lee and Petey Williams who tells Lee to get up. Williams gives her a pitch about why she should give him all of her attention. Williams shows her the secret to the canadian destroy. Williams says for her to give him the move he has to put his head between her legs. Lee can't believe that Williams is just trying to hit on her. Williams just says it's his time! She then says maybe they should take it out to the ring and they agree.
