Bullet Club (Jay White & Chris Bey) vs. Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley)

IMPACT! kicks off in a big way with this first-time-ever tag team match between the Bullet Club and the reuniting Motor City Machine Guns! Shelley offer his hand to White but once again, he refuses to shake it. The Guns gain the early advantage with a double running kick to Bey. Sabin and Shelley lock in their own respective submissions on both members of the Bullet Club. White fights out of it and breaks up the submission attempt on Bey. Sabin dives through the ropes, colliding with his opponents on the floor. White trips up Sabin on the top rope, allowing Bey to dive over the top rope to the outside. Shelley avoids a double foot stomp from Bey, then plants him face-first into the turnbuckle. Sabin is on fire as he hits White with a back body drop, then picks Bey out of mid-air with a dropkick. Bey connects with a spin-out neckbreaker for a near fall. The Guns hit Skull and Bones on Bey to score the three count as White just misses the opportunity to break it up!
