The action complimented the surprises with the Knockouts Championship match between Deonna Purrazzo and Jordynne Grace stealing the show.

In addition, the main event featured a fatal-five way match that was the best match that I’ve personally seen in a long time.

While there are a lot of wrestling promotions out there giving you insane looking spots, the level of storytelling in that match was something that WWE and AEW are not providing at this moment.

That includes the inception of a mouth-watering feud between Eric Young and Rich Swann to the amazing story that Ace Austin and Eddie Edwards told towards the end.

Needless to say, the wrestling world recognized this effort. The Rock reacted to a Impact star using his finishing maneuver while Finn Balor paid homage to the new innings of his former brothers.

The Rock responds to “the real world champion”

For a long time now, Moose has been claiming that he is the real world champion in Impact Wrestling. He is even carrying around the old TNA World Championship belt.

Tonight, he defended that title against the veteran Tommy Dreamer. In his victorious effort, he hit an improvised Rock Bottom on Dreamer at one point. Moose would use the opportunity to give Dwayne Johnson shout out.
