Andrew Everett has his first piece of Impact Wrestling gold.
Eli Drake and Scott Steiner's tag team championship reign has ended. The two wrestlers joined forces at Redemption as Eli Drake used one of his Feast or Fired briefcases to get a match against LAX. On this week's episode of Impact Wrestling, Drake and Steiner were defeated by DJ Z and Andrew Everett.
The following is an excerpt from the live play-by-play by Ryan Cook.
Z&E double team Eli to start the match before Scott hits Z when he runs the ropes and Eli hits a cutter. Scott tags in and beats Z down in the corner before he tags Eli back in who slams Z into the corner. Scott tags himself back in and hits an avalanche Samoan drop off of the top before Andrew finally gets tagged in and hits an enzuigiri into a springboard dropkick. Z&E then send Scott out of the ring before hitting a double team move for a near fall, then Scott accidentally hits Eli with a chair at ringside before Andrew pins him for the win.
Winner: Z&E defeat Eli Drake & Scott Steiner to become the new IMPACT Tag Team champions when Andrew pins Eli after Scott inadvertently hits Eli with a chair.
This is the first time either wrestler has held the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Championship and the first time Everett has had any championship in the promotion.
