Hopefully you weren't a 'dummy' and fell asleep after dinner, because Eli Drake is hosting The 2nd Annual Gravy Train Turkey Trot on Impact, tonight! We'll also witness the fallout from last week as Brian Cage cashed in option c and the X-Division Championship to battle Johnny Impact for the Impact World Heavyweight Championship. (See recap video above)

The show begins backstage as we're welcomed to the Thanksgiving episode of Impact Wrestling. Fallah Bahh and Eli Drake are introduced as the opposing team captains for the Gravy Train Turkey Trot match. Eli Drake rambles on about his greatness and about how he was the innovator of the GTTT match. A video package is shown highlighting the Gravy Train Turkey Trot match from the previous year, where Christopher Adonis was forced to wear the turkey suit.

Fallah Bahh and KM choose their 4th and final team member: Alisha Edwards! Bahh and KM ask Alisha if she can handle her own against Katarina, to which she responds, "I'm always ready for a fight!" They try to joke around with her but she's not having any of it.

Back from commercial, Eli Drake spins the roulette and chooses his final teammate: Glenn Gilbertti, also known as Disco Inferno. Glenn says that they need to use CGI to defeat Fallah Bahh, that way he can marry Scarlett Bordeaux. Drake doesn't know how to respond and, instead, pours a drink.

We're now watching as Fallah Bahh's team prepares for the match, with Fallah continuously saying "Bahh" as though it were strategy. KM translates and tells Kikutaro that he needs to stop being Japanese funny man and he needs to fight! KM translates for Dezmond and tells him that they need to fight as a team and win as a team! KM translates for Alisha and simply says, 'Plymouth Rock' – the punchline from the joke he made earlier. Alisha guarantees that Katarina is returning to England in a turkey suit.

Another series of reversals leads to Kikutaro playfully tapping Crist's head with his shoe. Kikutaro taunts Jake and delivers a deep arm drag.

Gilbertti tags in and hits a few strikes on Fallah before tagging in Eli Drake. Drake throws Bahh in to the corner and continues the strikes before he tags Disco Inferno back in. Bahh still reverses both men with big boots and a double cross body attack. Fallah tags in KM and he comes in hot, hitting clotheslines and kicks on everybody in sight. KM throws Rohit from one corner in to the opposite corner of the ring. He connect with a figure-four headlock and it encourages everyone to create a figure-four headlock train. Fallah uses his momentum to turn the train around and does some sort of centipede boston crab. Scarlett Bordeaux apppears on the ramp and does a lap around the ring, causing everyone to get distracted.

Dez rushes in and picks up the pace with various strikes, a headlock takeover, and a dropkick to the back of a sitting Rohit. Crist comes in but Dez gets the best of him and connects with a leg lariat and a X-1-9 in the corner to Dave Crist. Dez doesn't stop there as he takes out the other members of oVe. After taking out the other Singh's, Dez hits a huge corkscrew helio flip to the outside on to multiple people. Fallah Bahh climbs to the top rope and bowls down everyone on the outside!
