Later tonight, newly crowned Impact World Champion Tessa Blanchard will do a sit-down interview. Callis still cannot believe that she won the match this past Sunday. He is looking forward to what she has to say. Up next, they show some video footage from Ace Austin (c) vs. Trey for the X-Division Championship match. Austin retained the title.

After, we see Austin backstage speaking to someone on the phone. He gets off the phone and asks if Impact is expecting a comment from him. He puts his playing card in his mouth and walks away.

Next, a recap from oVe vs. Blanchard, Willie Mack, and Rich Swann from Bash at the Brewery is shown. Swann suffered an ankle injury during that match. This made their match the next night at Hard To Kill for the Impact Tag Team Championships difficult to obtain. The North took every cheap shot they could to retain the titles, which they did. Footage from that match is shown. Backstage (after), Mack tells Swann he feels like a failure for losing. Swann tells him to stop thinking like that-he is the man and is the "best in this business." Swann knows that he and Mack will win those titles off The North soon.

Next, Mathews and Callis show exclusive footage of Elgin in Japan. He left for Japan right after Hard To Kill.

After, we see footage from Rob Van Dam's match against Brian Cage, then Daga. Cage suffered an injury during his match with RVD, which is why Daga stepped in afterward. Now at a hotel, we are about to see RVD and Katie Forbes' "celebration" (and no, this is not the live sex celebration that Lita and Edge had).

Swinger with a roll-up pin puts his feet on the bottom rope, the referee catches it. Ryan gets Swinger to touch his dong!

Winner: Ace Austin

After the match, we get to see never before seen footage of Blanchard after she won the Impact World Championship. Her family joins her in the ring and the Impact locker room hugs her as she walks up to the ramp. Next, Blanchard will join Mathews in a sit-down interview.

The show concludes with Blanchard's interview. Mathews asks Blanchard how she is feeling. She tells him that she feels on top of the world. Mathews asks her about oVe and if she feels vanquished with them all. She says no. She believes there will be some type of retaliation from them. For right now, she is focused on setting more goals and achieving them, especially now that she is a walking target. During their interview, Callihan interrupts by showing up on the screen. Callihan says that he is the only history-maker in Impact. He says that Blanchard may be the champion the fans and Impact want, but he is the champion they all need. The camera zooms back. It looks like he is in the back of the control center! Blanchard goes looking for him. Callihan fools her and says that he isn't going to make it that easy for her. He warns her that he will show up unannounced wherever and whenever he wants.

That concludes tonight's show. Thanks for watching!
