Backstage: Tenille Dashwood, Taylor Wilde

Tenille Dashwood and Kaleb with a K interrupt Taylor Wilde’s interview with Gia Miller.

Kiera Hogan vs. Tenille Dashwood

Tenille Dashwood is looking to earn a Knockouts Tag Team Title opportunity for her and Taylor Wilde. A win over one half of the reigning champs would certainly move her one step closer towards achieving that goal. Tenille hits a double underhook suplex for two. Tenille connects with a neckbreaker, snapping Kiera’s neck on the ropes. Kiera begins to build momentum with a superkick but Tenille shuts her down with a running clothesline. Tenille rolls up Kiera for three!

Winner: Tenille Dashwood

Post-match, Tasha Steelz attacks Tenille from behind. Kaleb With a K evens the odds until Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo, Kimber Lee and Susan make their presence felt. After Kaleb is taken out of the action with a DDT, Tenille is on the receiving end of 5-on-1 beatdown. Taylor Wilde, Havok and Rosemary come out to make the save, sending their opponents scurrying out of the IMPACT Zone!

In-Ring: Moose, Kenny Omega

Moose is in the ring to address his victory in the 6-Way #1 Contenders match at Under Siege. Moose gives Kenny Omega credit for defeating the best talent from all over the world – but Omega has never defeated him. Moose calls himself the most athletic competitor in Professional Wrestling and that even a god such as Kenny Omega won’t be able to knock him off of Mount Olympus at Against All Odds. IMPACT World Champion Kenny Omega and Don Callis interrupt. Callis praises Moose for being an incredible physical specimen but says that he will come up short at Against All Odds, just like he always has in his Pro Wrestling and NFL careers. Moose threatens both Callis and Omega when The Good Brothers hit the ring. It looks as though Moose is going to fall victim to the numbers game when Sami Callihan appears! Omega, Callis and The Good Brothers retreat up the ramp as Moose and Callihan hold the ring.

Backstage: Moose, Sami Callihan

Moose stops Sami Callihan in the back and tells him that he didn’t need his help earlier. Callihan says he didn’t come out there to help Moose – he came out there because he’s sick of Kenny Omega running roughshod over IMPACT Wrestling. Callihan says that no matter who walks out of Against All Odds with the IMPACT World Title, he’s coming to reclaim what’s rightfully his.

.@TheMooseNation and @TheSamiCallihan have made it extremely clear that they’re not on the same page. #IMPACTonAXSTV pic.twitter.com/BorTTV5owc

Rachael Ellering vs. Jordynne Grace

Former Knockouts Tag Team Champions Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering do battle in friendly competition tonight. It’s evenly matched in the early going as they trade holds and jockey for position. The aggression begins to build as Jordynne trips up Rachael from the outside. Jordynne locks in a Full Nelson but Rachael repeatedly backs her into the corner to break the hold. Rachael begins to build momentum with a jumping European uppercut, followed by a senton for two. Rachael avoids the Vader Bomb, then rolls up Jordynne for another near fall. Both Knockouts exchange pin attempts with Rachael eventually gaining the upperhand and scoring the three count!

Winner: Rachael Ellering

After the match, Rachael and Jordynne shake hands and hug in the middle of the ring.

Backstage: Brian Myers, Matt Cardona

Brian Myers refuses to put his rivalry with Matt Cardona to rest as he attacks him in the backstage area!
