Live Coverage
— The show begins and we see a video recap of this past weekend's Slammiversary pay-per-view.
— We then head to the ringside area and our commentary team of Tom Phillips and Matt Rehwoldt welcome us to tonight's show.
— Honor No More make their way down to the ring. Eddie Edwards says even though Slammiversary was this past Sunday, the celebration will continue, tonight. Edwards says the company left Nashville, Tennessee because they wanted to reach new heights. Edwards says Honor No More didn’t lose at Slammiversary, PCO did. Vincent says he brought PCO back for Honor No More and they should be talking more about Traci Brooks attacking Maria Kanellis last Sunday and D’Lo Brown helping out the IMPACT Originals and how Earl Hebner called the 1-2-3 even though he wasn’t the referee for the match. Matt Taven says Honor No More saves the ratings for IMPACT on a weekly basis and ROH would’ve closed up shop in 2019 if it weren’t for him. James Storm and Chris Harris’ music hits and out come America’s Most Wanted. Storm says he and Harris grew up at a time where they had to earn respect from their peers as well as the fans. Storm calls Honor No More ‘bums’ and if they weren’t ‘bums’, they would’ve taken the loss this weekend and used it to improve. Kenny King calls Storm washed up and Harris tells King that if he keeps talking, he’s going to make him cry worse than he did on ‘The Bachelorette’. Harris says he and Storm came in together and they’ll go out together and while mingling backstage at Slammiversary, they met some ‘friends’. Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson of the Good Brothers’ music hits and out they come. Everyone brawls, The Briscoes rush the ring and the join in and we head to a commercial break.
— Back from the break and Honor No More is shown backstage. IMPACT EVP Scott D’Amore shows up and Honor No More say they D’Amore needs to do something about the attack, earlier tonight. D’Amore says that at Against All Odds, they’ll face The Good Brothers, The Briscoes and James Storm. D’Amore adds that tonight’s main event will be Eddie Edwards, Mike Bennett and Matt Taven against James Storm and The Briscoes. Honor No More look frustrated and exit.
