- Chris Bey defeated Jake Something in the opening bout of the night to earn his place in the number one contenders match at Under Siege. Bey returned to action after being sidelined for over a month. He last wrestled on the March 9 episode of IMPACT where he faced Ace Austin. On March 25, he shared online that he was not cleared to compete.
- While Don Callis scrambled backstage to get Kenny Omega to the arena, he was confronted by Sami Callihan who said, "You won't know when, you won't know where, but I'm coming for what's mine."
- W. Morrissey addressed the viewers after his debut at IMPACT Sacrifice. He said that the wrestling industry is filled with bad people and that the only difference between him and them, is that he's willing to admit it.
Morrissey then had a match with Sam Beale, making quick work of the young prospect.

- Backstage, Willie Mack took exception with Morrissey beating him down after their 8-man tag at Rebellion. He proceeded to challenge the big man to a match at Under Siege. That contest has yet to be confirmed.
- After over ten years away from the ring, Taylor Wilde made her in-ring return tonight, defeating Kimber Lee. The former Knockouts Champion has quickly put the division and Deonna Purrazzo on notice.
Seriously... the knockouts better watch out. @RealTaylorWilde hasn't missed a step after 10yrs away.

- Josh Alexander successfully defended his X-Division Title against Ace Austin. The Canadian had to deal with some outside interference from Madman Fulton but was still able to get the job done. With Austin's contractual rematch out of the way, it remains to be seen who will be next in line to challenge for the belt.
AND STILL X-Division Champion - @Walking_Weapon! #IMPACTonAXSTV pic.twitter.com/EKcJooZoTx

- Sami Callihan and Eddie Edwards faced off in the main event with a spot in the number one contender match on the line. Unfortunately for them, Omega and The Good Brothers interrupted and caused a disqualification, beating down both men. IMPACT Tag Team Champions FinJuice came out to make the save.
Callihan was announced as the winner of the match via disqualification. Edwards, on the other hand, will team with FinJuice to take on The Elite members at Under Siege.
