IMPACT kicks off with six man tag team action following a video package showing how we got to our opening contest. Eric Young notably entered by himself after Deaner & Doering.
Josh Alexander & Motor City Machine Guns vs. Violent By Design
The finish saw Alexander trap EY in an Ankle Lock while MCMG had Deaner and Doering trapped in other holds leading to Deaner tapping to Shelley.
Winners: Josh Alexander & Motor City Machine Guns

Steve Maclin vs. James Storm
Storm played the experienced veteran role in trying to reach Maclin a lesson, but Maclin outsmarted The Cowboy by using an exposed turnbuckle to his advantage to score a big win.
Winner: Steve Maclin
After, the lights went out and Sami Callihan appeared in the ring. Unfortunately for The Draw, Maclin retreated while the lights were out.
Backstage, Scott D’Amore booked Sabin vs. Shelley to determine the next World Title number one contender.
Chelsea Green vs. Mickie James
The match started with Chelsea planting a kiss on Mickie before Mickie countered with an even longer smooch. The action did not stay in the ring as they battled on the outside and up and down the ramp. Green scored the win by using the ropes to assist a pinfall.
Winner: Chelsea Green
Taya and Rosemary went to the Undead Realm but split up. Taya entered the wrong area and found a pink haired Havok while Rosemary found Jessicka, the woman.
Brian Myers told Bhupinder Gujarr that he can challenge for the Digital Media Championship once he gets verified on Twitter.
