Impact World Championship
Rich Swann (c) vs. Eric Young
The first IMPACT! after Bound For Glory opens with a wild brawl in the backstage area between new World Champion Rich Swann and the man he defeated last Saturday, Eric Young. As the fight spills into the arena, it becomes apparent that this attack was orchestrated by EY. The beatdown continues before referees, security and Executive Vice President Scott D’amore come down to him from doing further damage. Young wants his rematch tonight but D’amore refuses to give it to him. However, Swann has different plans and agrees to give Young his rematch right here, right now!
Swann is not dressed to compete as he competes in dress slacks and no shoes. Young attempts a top rope elbow drop but Swann avoids it to create gain his breath. Young sends him flying across the ring with a big powerbomb for two. Swann connects with his signature handspring cutter, followed by the Phoenix splash to defeat EY once again.
Winner: Rich Swann (c)

In-Ring: Deonna Purrazzo, Su Yung
Scott D’Amore is in the ring and despite the legal action being threatened by Deonna Purrazzo, he reinstated that Su Yung is the rightful Knockouts Champion. Purrazzo’s music hits and she comes to the ring alongside Kimber Lee and Barrister RD Evans. Purrazzo’s representative states that the only reason that Purrazzo laid out the open challenge was because something happened to her scheduled opponent, Kylie Rae. Evans suggests that it was at the hands of Su Yung herself. D’Amore reminds Purrazzo that she has a contractually obligated rematch and if she agrees not to take legal action, she can have it next week on IMPACT! Purrazzo accepts the offer when Su Yung’s music hits! The Undead Bride comes to the ring and takes out Evans and Lee with the Mandible Claw. The carnage continues when Su sprays red mist in the face of the Executive Vice President before locking in the Mandible Claw on Purrazzo.
