Rosemary and Deonna Purrazzo renew their epic singles rivalry as they look to build momentum en route to their Knockouts World Tag Team Title clash at Emergence! Rosemary bites her, then hits a running bulldog out of the corner. Purrazzo targets the left arm of Rosemary to turn the tide. Rosemary locks in the Upside Down but doesn’t get all of it due to her injured arm. Both Knockouts are down following in-sync pump kicks. Purrazzo provokes Jessicka at ringside moments before Rosemary delivers a spear in the middle of the ring. Rosemary has Purrazzo beat but the referee is occupied with Jessicka. Purrazzo rolls her up to score the victory!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo via Pinfall.

While avoiding the challenge of Bhupinder Gujjar, Brian Myers may have bitten off more than he can chew as he defends the Digital Media Title against Decay’s Black Taurus! Myers drives him throat first into the top rope, followed by a snap suplex. Taurus fights back with a series of running strikes, then soars over the top rope to the floor. Myers sends him into the steel ring post to regain control. Myers hits a belly-to-back suplex for two. Taurus connects with the 619, followed by a Missile Dropkick. Taurus counters the Roster Cut into a spear for a near fall of his own. Myers rolls up Taurus with a hold of the ropes to retain the Digital Media Title!
Winner: Brian Myers via Pinfall to retain the Impact Digital Media Championship.
After the match, Bhupinder Gujjar tosses Myers back into the ring as he joins Decay in a 3-on-1 assault on the champ. Gujjar sends him a message with the Gargoyle Spear!

Masha Slamovich looks to continue her absolute destruction of the Knockouts division as she finally gets her hands on Gisele Shaw! Slamovich delivers a flurry of forearm strikes in the opening moments of the match. Shaw shows signs of life as she hits an explosive running knee for two. Shaw misses a springboard crossbody, allowing Slamovich to capitalize with a bridged German suplex. Slamovich hits the Snowplow to score the victory, bringing her undefeated streak to 14-0!

Doering immediately blindsides Shelley but the Guns fight back as Sabin takes out Deaner with a cutter. Doering attacks Shelley on the apron, allowing Deaner to gain control with a running clothesline. Shelley avoids a top rope headbutt from Deaner and makes the tag to Sabin. The pace quickens as Sabin hits Deaner with a step-up Enzuigiri. Sabin connects with an assisted spinning neckbreaker but Doering breaks the pin attempt, then takes out both of the Guns with a double clothesline. Sabin dives through the ropes, colliding with Doering on the floor. Sabin traps Deaner in a pinning predicament to score the victory!

It’s a battle of the behemoths as Bullet Club and Honor No More collide ahead of their high-stakes showdown at Emergence! Derby City Street Fight means there are no disqualifications, no count outs and anything goes. PCO hits a steel chair shot to the skull. Gallows sends him soaring off the top, back-first into a plethora of chairs. PCO bounces back as he slams Gallows through a table on the floor. PCO delivers repeated trash can shots, then exposes the wooden boards underneath the canvas. Gallows hits him with a steel chain, followed by the Gas Mask on the wood. Gallows connects with a chokeslam that sends PCO crashing through the ring but somehow, someway, it’s not enough to keep him down. PCO loads a glove with thumbtacks, then drives it into Gallows’ chest for three!
Winner: PCO via Pinfall.
It’s total carnage in the IMPACT Zone as PCO celebrates his victory. IMPACT! goes off the air.
