    Show opens with Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards brawling out from the back and into the crowd.

    Jeremy Borash arrives to reveal he is replacing Josh Mathews on commentary. Borash tells Josh that the new management want someone that the fans actually like. Borash runs Mathews down for disrespecting fans and legends so it's time to change things up. Borash says Mike Tenay mentored him to be next in line but Josh got fired from WWE so the dummy old owners hired him. Mathews argued that he sat under the learning tree of Jim Ross and called WrestleMania then came to TNA for free. Borash responded that he's friends with JR and JR thinks Josh sucks.

    Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe & Luster the Legend) def. The DCC (Bram & Kingston). Afterwards, dissension is teased with the DCC.

    Braxton Sutter (w/ Allie) def. DJ Z, Caleb Konley, & Marshe Rockett. After the match, Laurel Van Ness came out and yelled at Allie.

    Sienna def. Rachael Ellering

    Bruce Prichard came to the ring for a promo. Bruce said a few years ago there was an Impact with hope but for whatever reason it didn't happen. Bruce announces the TNA name is officially dead and from this point forward the company will only be known as Impact Wrestling. Bruce says the new owners looked for people who have achieved greatness in the past and he's been there for it all. Bruce declares he knows how to make wrestling great again and he certainly knows how to make an Impact. Bruce says it's important to know the face of the company and introduces world champ Bobby Lashley. Lashley says he's beaten everyone and no one on the roster can beat him which leads to the debut of Alberto el Patron to interrupt. Ethan Carter III interrupts and says Alberto needs to earn his shot because he's carried the company for years on his back. Lashley points out that EC3 already lost to him so he will face Alberto tonight.

    Cody tried calling out Moose again but Borash reminded him that Moose is in Japan. Cody sat in the ring then left.

    Dutch Mantel comes out on his scooter and says 8 years ago Impact was great so he's here to make it great again. Dutch goes over all the big names that used to be here but left because of a lack of leadership, vision, and respect but the biggest issue was that the fans left. Dutch wants to bring the fans back, he's here to give advice and only answers to the fans. Dutch says this new incarnation of Impact Wrestling will give back to the fans. Dutch asks everyone to stand and say "We the People will make Impact great again!"

    Alberto el Patron def. Lashley to become the new Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion in a controversial finish involving two ref bumps. After the match, referees Brian Stiffler & Brian Hebner argue over the result. Earl Hebner and Bruce Prichard come down to join the argument but Alberto leaves as champion to end the show.
