Three Way Match for the Global Championship
Eli Drake vs. Johnny Impact vs. Alberto El Patron

We’re at a Border City Wrestling event in Detroit, Michigan for this Motor City Mayhem Global Championship match. The match spills to the outside in the early going.

Impact makes it back to the ring and sends Drake to the outside. He follows up with his signature leg drop on El Patron for the near fall. Drake appears to have Impact beat but El Patron drags the referee out of the ring! El Patron connects with the back-cracker on Drake but this time, it’s Impact who pulls the referee out of the ring. Impact hits a swinging neckbreaker on El Patron but now it’s Drake’s turn to pull the ref out! The referee is fed up and challenges all three men to a fight but ends up eating three in-sync superkicks as a result. El Patron hits Impact with a low blow as another referee makes his way to the ring. Drake hits Impact with a clothesline for a near fall. Drake argues with the second referee and takes him out with the Gravy Train. The match is ruled a no contest as the locker room clears to separate the three competitors!

No Contest

Rosemary vs. KC Spinelli

Rosemary hits an exploder suplex. Rosemary connects with a German suplex for a near fall. Spinelli hits a big clothesline for a near fall of her own. Rosemary teases the mist but it’s just a distraction! This allows her to pick up Spinelli for the Red Wedding to win.

Winner: Rosemary

After the match, Rosemary gets on the mic and says she respects Laurel Van Ness for defeating her in the finals of the Knockouts title tournament to become the new champion. Rosemary says it doesn’t matter if it’s Laurel or Allie who walks out with the title at Genesis because she’s coming for the Knockouts championship. Then, a mysterious woman jumps the guardrail and attacks Rosemary from behind! The woman is revealed as Hania who is making her IMPACT Wrestling debut! Rosemary fights back but Hania lays her out with a spinebuster on the ramp. She brings Rosemary back to ringside and slams her back-first into the steel steps! Hania stands tall as security shows up to escort her out of the arena.
