Josh Mathews and Madison Rayne welcome fans to Impact Wrestling! We kick things off with the birthday boy, Sami Callihan, taking on his most recent rival, Rob Van Dam!

Sami Callihan vs. Rob Van Dam (w/Katie Forbes)

Before the bell rings, Sami Callihan pushes RVD off the apron. Katie Forbes, who is bent over on the apron, looks horrified to see that Callihan is staring back at her. Callihan shifts his focus back on RVD. He jumps off the apron and sends RVD towards the guardrail. Forbes distracts Callihan by twerking in front of him. RVD gives Callihan a taste of his own medicine by shoving him towards the guardrail. Both men roll into the ring. Callihan pump kicks RVD in the face. RVD misses a split leg assault. Callihan takes a brutal kick from Forbes on the outside. RVD flies off the apron with a single kick drop.

Van Dam continues his attack with a few forearm strikes, but he misses his chance at connecting the Rolling Thunder. Callihan rolls through with a low cutter. He keeps his offense up with a strong clothesline in the corner. RVD smashes Callihan with a spinning kick, but he doesn't grab the pinfall on him. Callihan squashes RVD's face into the mat with a hangman DDT. Callihan goes for a cover, RVD kicks out at 2. Callihan puts RVD up in the Cactus Special position; Forbes climbs up on the apron and tries to distract him again. RVD rolls Callihan up. Callihan rolls through and reverses the roll onto RVD. RVD doesn't get his shoulders up in time, Callihan wins the match!

Winner: Sami Callihan

Post-Match: Callihan steps out of the ring to go chase after Forbes. RVD catches him on the side, then rolls him into the ring. Forbes brings in a chair. RVD places the chair on Callihan's face. While he holds it in place, Forbes slams into "The Death Machine" with two hip attacks. RVD finishes the job with a swift kick to Callihan's face.

After the opening match, Mathews and Rayne run through tonight's card!

Backstage: Fallah Bahh and Hernandez are just finishing up their arm-wrestling match before Reno Scum walks in. They inform Hernandez that Heath is nowhere to be seen. With a cheerful smile, Hernandez says if they can take out Rhino tonight, he'll give them their money.

Back from the commercial break, we head over to Wrestle House to hear from Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie and John E Bravo.

Valkyrie goes first. She feels betrayed that her manager and best friend went behind her back and pursued a relationship without her consent.

Next, we hear from Rosemary. She thought that Bravo could keep up between her and Valkyrie, but he couldn't.

Bravo concludes his interview by saying that he is confused and just doesn't know what to do.

Last week, Swinger lost in a "Loser Dresses Like The Winner" match against Crazzy Steve.

At the house, everyone is trying to get Johnny Swinger to come out of his room so they can see his new look. Everyone chuckles after they see Swinger in clown paint. The Deaners call him a rejected member of ICP.

While the rest of the group is laughing and picking on Swinger, Tommy Dreamer pulls Bravo aside and informs him that he'll be the special guest referee in Valkyrie/Rosemary's match tonight. Bravo looks very distraught.

We head back to the Impact Zone for more action!

Reno Scum vs. Rhino

Before Rhino even heads to the ring, Reno Scum meets him up on the ramp. Rhino takes both men off their feet with a series of jabs as the bell rings. In the ring, Luster The Legend smashes Rhino face-first into the turnbuckle. Rhino turns around to land a punch on Luster right before the commercial break.

We are back from the break. Luster tags in Adam Thornstowe, who comes in with a moonsault on Rhino. Thornstowe goes for a pinfall, Rhino kicks out at 2. Thornstowe tags Luster back in. Luster locks Rhino up in a side headlock. Rhino fights out of it with a few elbows to the midsection. He sends Luster over the top rope with a clothesline and then a Gore on the outside. As Thornstowe wraps his spike belt around his fist, a cameraman comes into the ring and lands a reverse DDT on Thornstowe to the ground. Rhino is confused as to why the cameraman did that. Instead of trying to figure out who it was in the moment, he crawls in, pins Thornstowe, and wins the match!

Winner: Rhino

Post-Match: The cameraman pops back into the ring to reveal himself. It's Heath! Scott D'Amore sends several security guards out to the ring to follow Heath after he makes his escape.

The man looks concerned at first, but once Moose leaves, he unbuttons his long sleeve shirt and reveals that he's wearing an EC3 "Control Your Narrative" shirt.

Backstage: The Good Brothers are telling a few guys in the back some funny stories of theirs. Dez and Wentz join in and let them know that they're facing their rivals Ace Austin and Madman Fulton tonight. Doc Gallows wishes them luck.

Back at Wrestle House, everyone is giving Bravo some advice on what to do about his dilemma. The Deaners confront Larry D about their missing beer. It looks like their truce pact is officially broken. Both teams throw each other towards the refrigerator and the walls. Dreamer gently calls out, "match time."

The Deaners Vs. XXXL

Acey Romero throws Cody Deaner onto the couch. Cody gets up and tries to grab the TV to throw at Romero. Dreamer stops him. He asks Cody to not break the TV because he needs to watch Impact each week. Cody agrees to not use the TV as a weapon. Instead, he and Romero compete in a ping pong match. Cousin Jake throws Larry D towards the wall. He charges towards Larry D, who is on the other side of the room. Cousin Jake starts to run in slow motion. Romero enters the shot and tells Larry D to move out of the way since he has all the time in the world to do it. Cody lands a DDT on Larry D, which transforms him into a fancier version of himself. Now, Susie gets involved. She hears that they all broke their truce, and she has a meltdown. Dreamer finds Susie, who is leaving the room that both teams were in. He asks her where they went; she quizzically looks at him. Dreamer decides to just award her the winner.

After taking a sip, she says that no one is going to ruin her night. She spoke too soon – here comes Jordynne Grace!

Grace walks down the ramp and says that she's not there to ruin her party; she's there to tell her to enjoy her title reign because it's not going to last. After she says that, Tenille Dashwood's music hits!

Dashwood is all smiles. She thinks everyone is there to celebrate her return. The camera pans over to those standing around the ring. They're all looking at each other in a puzzling way. Dashwood and Grace get into a tiff after Dashwood says that Grace's time as a contender for the title is over. As Grace heads up to confront Dashwood, the Wrestle House group teleports back to the Impact ring. Each member clears out, except for Susie and Kylie Rae.
