Impact are bringing in Mauro Runallo to call the Swann vs Omega winner takes all match.

And in a shock to absolutely nobody, Kenny Omega def. Rich Swann to win the Impact World Title. The other title matches were:

- FinJuice def. Good Brothers to retain the Impact Tag Titles.
- Jordynne Grace & Rachel Ellering def. Fire & Flayva to win the Knockout Tag Titles
- Josh Alexander def. Ace Austin & TJP to win the X Division Title.
- Deonna Purrazzo def. Tenniele Dashwood to retain the Knockouts Title.

A few debuts tonight, Ellering from above and William Morrissey (formally Big Cass) as part of VBD. One return as well, Taylor Wilde, former Knockouts Champion from the Kim/Kong era.

So a few title changes and debuts/surprises:

- Josh Alexander def. Christian to win the Impact World Title. Alexander was then immediately challenged by Moose, who defeated Alexander for the belt.
- Trey Miguel is the new X-Division Champion, which was vacated by Alexander to challenge for the World Title. He defeated Steve Maclin (Steve Cutler of the Forgotten Sons in NXT) and El Phantasmo.
- On debut, The IInspiration (formerly The IIconics in WWE) def. Decay (Jessicka Havoc & Rosemary) for the Knockouts Tag Titles.
- Mickie James def. Deonna Purrazzo for the Knockouts Title.

During the "Call Your Shot" battle royale, the surprise entrants were Rocky Romero, The Kiss Demon of late WCW, and Melina.

Other results:
- The Good Brothers retained the Tag Titles over Bullet Club (Hikuleo & Chris Bey) and FinJuice (David Finlay & Juice Robinson).
- Heath Slater & Rhino def. Violent By Design (Joe Doering & Cody Deaner w. Eric Young)
- Moose won the "Call Your Shot" battle royale (similar to the MITB match in WWE, which is how Moose got the title shot at the end of the show).
- Jordynne Grace won an intergender 6 way match to become the inaugural Digital Champion (similar to the old TV Championships, except it is an intergender title)

Good to see the Ilconics back

impact should put Meyers and cardona back together and give them a long run as tag team champs. I’ve always liked them and always watch their YouTube

Great fun PPV from Impact, quite a few surprises like AJ Styles & Sting doing pre-taped promos, and appearances from AMW, Dixie Carter, Disciples of the New Church (Slash & Fr. James Mitchell), Shark Boy, Davey Richards, David Young (that's a rare one!) and Earl Hebner.

The TNA name returned full time for the first PPV of the year - Hard to Kill. There were 3 debuts:
- Ash by Elegance (fka Dana Brooke)
- Alexander Hammerstone
- Nic Nemeth (fka Dolph Ziggler)

An interesting name has turned up in TNA: XYON, better known as Daniel Vidot. Not sure how he's able to use part of his old NXT name, but there you go.

An interesting name has turned up in TNA: XYON, better known as Daniel Vidot. Not sure how he's able to use part of his old NXT name, but there you go.

TNA and WWE clearly have some deal going on in the background when it comes to NXT and TNA crossing over. Joe Hendry the prime example at the moment.

I agree, but Vidot was released a while back so keeping his NXT name is a surprise.
