In-Ring: Tessa Blanchard, Taya Valkyrie, Ace Austin, Trey

IMPACT! is back in Mexico City as new World Champion Tessa Blanchard makes her way to the ring. Tessa says winning the World Title is only the beginning. She mentions that Sami Callihan has a rematch and calls him out right here, right now. Instead of Callihan, the longest-reigning Champion Taya Valkyrie confronts Tessa. Taya recalls defeating Tessa in the past and says she is the true history maker while Tessa winning the World Title was only a consolation prize. They stare down in the middle of the ring when X-Division Champion Ace Austin interrupts. Ace also recalls how Tessa was unable to defeat him for the X-Division Championship when they were involved in a Ladder match at Bound for Glory. Tessa attacks Ace but falls victim to the numbers game when Taya joins the fray. The last challenger to the X-Division Title, Trey, makes the save and evens the odds, sending Ace and Taya retreating.

Later tonight, Tessa and Trey battle Taya and Ace in a Mixed Tag Team match.

Backstage: Willie Mack, Johnny Swinger

Moose vs. Rhino vs. Taurus

Three animals go to war here in Mexico City. Moose quickly retreats to the outside in the early going. Rhino is setting up for the Gore on Taurus when Moose trips him up from the outside. Rhino and Taurus team up on Moose, taking him out with double back elbows. Moose turns it around with Go To Hell on Taurus. Moose attempts the No Jackahmmer Needed Spear but Rhino counters into a belly-to-belly suplex. Moose uses the referee as a human shield to avoid the Gore, just like at Hard To Kill. Rhino attempts it again and is successful on the second attempt. Taurus head butts Rhino and pins Moose to steal the win.

Winner: Taurus

Instead of going for the follow-up pin, Rosemary is distracted by the presence of Mitchell at ringside. He gets up on the apron but Rosemary blinds him with the green mist. Havok capitalizes off the distraction and hits the Tombstone to win.

Winner: Havok
