** Before tonight's show,  James Storm (w/Chris Sabin) defeated Deaner (w/Violent By Design) on Before The Impact! **

The show kicks off with the entire locker room knocking on Scott D'Amore's door. Everyone is upset that the AEW and AAA Champion Kenny Omega is now their Unified Impact World Champion. D'Amore says he'll address everything and sends everyone down to the ring. Don Callis comes out of D'Amore's office. He thanks D'Amore for taking care of all of them. Callis mentions that he's sending Omega a Zoom link for his "in-ring" celebration tonight. D'Amore catches it and tells Callis that now that he's the face of Impact, Omega needs to be there. If Omega doesn't show, will be stripped of the championship. Callis gets on his phone just before the beginning credits roll.

In the ring, D'Amore is standing in the center of the ring with the entire locker room surrounding the ring. D'Amore announces that the company needs a new No. 1 Contender to challenge Omega. So, on Saturday, May 15, at Under Siege, there will be a six-way match to determine who will become Omega's new challenger. Tonight will begin the qualification matches. D'Amore calls Jake Something to the ring first. D'Amore says he has the perfect opponent for Jake Something. Chris Bey's music hits!

Sam Beale vs. W. Morrissey

W. Morrissey grabs the mic before his match. He says in this business, there are bad guys. But the difference between him and the others is that he'll tell you to your face that he's a bad guy.

Backstage: Kimber Lee is ready to be the first woman to get her hands on the returning Taylor Wilde. The Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo says she is going to watch Lee's match from the back. Lee and Susan are cool with it. Gia Miller asks if Purrazzo has a trick up her sleeve. Purrazzo is offended she would ask a question like that. "The Virtuosa" corrects her and says she has beaten every Knockout in this division, and she isn't scared of anyone. Just as she turns around, Havok is standing right in front of her. Both women stare each other down.

Backstage: Gia Miller noticed at Rebellion how W. Morrissey's focused solely on Willie Mack throughout the match. She asks Mack what he thinks about that. He says he doesn't get what his problem is. He challenges W. Morrissey to a match at Under Siege to settle their differences.
