Impact Wrestling Results – July 20, 2023
In the aftermath of Slammiversary, Impact Wrestling returned with a bang, featuring some exciting matches and intriguing storylines. The show took place at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and was commentated by Matthew Rehwoldt and Tom Hannifan.
One of the biggest highlights of the night was the return of Josh Alexander, who confronted World Champion Alex Shelley at the end of Slammiversary. Alexander expressed his desire to win back the title he never lost and announced that he was 100% medically cleared. This sets the stage for an intense showdown between Alexander and Shelley in the near future.
In the opening segment, Scott D’Amore, acting as the Director of Authority due to Santino Marella’s absence, addressed the crowd. He praised the success of Slammiversary and teased some exciting matches for the night. However, he was interrupted by the Good Hands, who exchanged threats with D’Amore. D’Amore retaliated by announcing a match between the Good Hands and the team of Sami Callihan and Rich Swann.
The match between the Good Hands and Callihan/Swann was fast-paced and action-packed. Despite a strong showing from the Good Hands, Callihan and Swann managed to secure the victory with a double high-angle spinebuster on Hotch. This win further solidifies Callihan and Swann as a formidable tag team in Impact Wrestling.
The Bullet Club, still reeling from their loss of the Tag Team Titles, vowed to seek revenge on the Rascalz. However, Scott D’Amore intervened and informed them that they already had a match scheduled for the night. The Rascalz, who had been mocking the Bullet Club, were forced to leave the ring. Johnny Swinger and Zicky Dice then confronted D’Amore, with Swinger questioning his future in the company. D’Amore offered Swinger a chance to earn a title shot by winning his next match, which would also be a Loser Leaves Town match against Dice.
Another notable moment of the night was the return of Eric Young, who had a story to tell. However, he was interrupted by Nick Aldis, who proposed an alliance against the “cretins” and “internet darlings” who were supposedly ruining Impact Wrestling. Young was skeptical of Aldis’ offer, leading to a match between the two later in the night.
The match between Jake Something and Kevin Knight showcased the potential of both competitors. Something emerged victorious after hitting a devastating Boss Man Slam on Knight. With this win, Something continues to establish himself as a rising star in Impact Wrestling.
The women’s division also had its share of action, with Courtney Rush facing off against Savannah Evans. Despite interference from Jai Vidal, Rush managed to secure the win with a spear. This victory puts Rush in a strong position within the Knockouts division.
The show also featured a segment focusing on Trinity, who recently won the Knockouts Title. The Coven expressed their disdain for Trinity and their desire to regain the Women’s Tag Team Titles from MK Ultra (Masha Slamovich and Killer Kelly).
In a sit-down interview, Jonathan Gresham discussed his views on the X-Division and its lack of rules. Gresham expressed his preference for a more structured environment, hinting at a potential departure from Impact Wrestling.
The main event of the night saw Subculture (with Dani Luna) defend their Tag Team Titles against the Bullet Club. Despite a valiant effort from the Bullet Club, Subculture managed to retain their titles with a roll-up pin on Bey. This victory solidifies Subculture as a dominant force in the tag team division.
Overall, Impact Wrestling delivered an action-packed show with exciting matches and intriguing storylines. The return of Josh Alexander and the ongoing rivalry between Alex Shelley and Eric Young promise an exciting future for Impact Wrestling. Stay tuned for more updates and news from the world of professional wrestling!
