Deonna's no disqualifications brawl with Su Yung was barbaric, while Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson's tag frenzy with The North was a masterclass in tag team wrestling.
Elsewhere on the stacked show, Rich Swann retained the World Championship over Sami Callihan in a decent main event, Joe Doering returned to the Impact Zone as Eric Young's new bodyguard, Cousin Jake answered the latest Defeat Rohit Challenge, and the official brackets were revealed for the Knockouts Tag Team Championships Tournament.
