IMPACT Wrestling Results
February 22, 2018
– EC3 and Tyrus enter the building together as we’re told Carter will take on Johnny Impact in tonight’s main event, with the #1 contender’s spot to the IMPACT World Championship on the line.
(1) Trevor Lee & Caleb Konley def. LAX in a non-title match. Great opening match. Lots of excellent double team moves from LAX, but Lee stole a victory over the champs with a handful of tights. It’s announced that the Cult of Lee will get a championship match at IMPACT Crossroads next month.
(2) Brian Cage def. Hunter Law. Quick squash match, where Brian literally did reps with his opponent.
(3) Matt Sydal def. Petey Williams. This was taped in Canada at an indie promotion, so Williams was even more over than usual. Sydal reversed a Destroyer into a rollup to the get the win.
– Sydal cut a promo challenging Taiji Ishimori to a match for the X-Division Championship
– Jimmy Jacobs and Kongo Kong came out and demanded Joseph Park face them. Grandma Park comes out instead. They actually dressed up a woman with an old lady wig and pearls, and slapped Jimmy across the face. Joseph Park ran down to save granny from being murdered and took a beating while she was forced to watch.
(4) Alberto el Patron def. Moose in a No DQ match.
(5) Lashley & Eddie Edwards def. OVE
(6) Johnny Impact def. Ethan Carter III to retain his #1 contender’s spot. Tyrus kept getting involved in the match and even stopped Johnny from doing Starship Pain late into the match. EC3 got in his face and the big man shoved him over then went to the back leaving him alone. Johnny got the win after Starship Pain.
– Austin Aries came out with a banana and held the title up, shaking hands with Johnny Impact as the two talked a bit of friendly trash. They’ll face off for the IMPACT World Championship in two weeks at Crossroads.
