What will happen on the go home show before Slammiversary Sunday? Find out as Impact airs at 9 EST!
9:00: We start things off with Eric Young, World Heavyweight Champion, coming down to the ring. He grabs a mic and states that in 3 days is the biggest match of his life. He then calls out MVP and posse. MVP assures that Carter and he are not friends and that she is not involved in this. EY then expresses his concern whether or not his buddies will get involved. MVP laughs at the fact that EY thinks he, MVP, cannot beat him on his own. EY asks for a fair fight on Sunday, but MVP says he can’t guarantee anything. EY says that he is willing to do anything to make sure he does get a fair fight. MVP goes on to say that if EY can beat all three of them tonight, he can pick the stipulation for their match on Sunday. Kenny King grabs the mic and says that EY couldn’t beat two of them, let alone three. Eric Young asks the Director of Wrestling Operations whether he’s got to beat two or three men tonight. Kenny, getting ahead of himself, blurts out two. MVP goes along with it, 2 out of 3, and announces that EY’s first opponent will be Bobby Lashley. Their match is after commercial.

9:13: When we return, Bobbly Lashley comes down hard on Eric Young. Young soon recovers and hits several forearms to Lashley. Young throws Lashley into the turnbuckle. He tries to throw Lashley in the opposite corner, but Lashley counters and throws EY instead. EY flips over the ropes and lands on his feet on the apron. When Lashley comes after EY, EY counters with a shoulder block. However, Lashley soon gains momentum as he throws Eric Young to the outside area. He rams EY in the steel steps and on the floor, rolls EY back in the ring, and goes for the pin attempt. Lashley gets EY up in the back breaker, but EY soon escapes. He bounces off the ropes, but Lashley knocks him back down with a strong clothesline. After a pin attempt, Lashley gets him into another back breaker. EY gets out of it, and rolls him up in a pin attempt. He hits him with a drop kick, pulls him up, and throws his face in the turnbuckle. Lashley throws EY into the corner and EY counters with a boot. EY jumps off the second rope, but Lashley catches him and hits him with The Dominator. 1-2-3 and Lashley wins. Hopefully EY can win his other two. Lashley, however, does not seem to be done. He continues to deliver a few right hands to EY’s head. Samoa Joe comes for the rescue and clears Lashley out of the ring.
Winner: Bobby Lashley
Willow says that he is bruised and beaten, but not broken. He’s learned how to take the pain from Bram and Magnus. We break for commercial.
9:25: Eric Young is hurt and is advised not to go back outside.
Samoa Joe says that Bobbly Lashley is his next victim. After he’s through with him, MVP will be next.
Magnus and Bram come down to the ring. Bram says that Magnus is the most brutal guy he knew growing up. Magnus says that Bram brought him back to what he used to be. He’s not going to be what anyone else wants him to be. He and Bram are unstoppable.
Bram addresses Willow and he, Willow, comes out with a mic in hand. Oh boy. Willow says he’s dangerous and he’s giving them a chance to run. He’s not responsible for anything he does because he is a part of Jeff Hardy‘s imagination. He cheers for himself (Jeff Hardy) and says where Jeff cannot go, Willow can. He then cheers for himself (Willow) again. He says that (we) will take you out. Magnus says he doesn’t have an alter ego, but he does have Bram. Bram says they are dangerous people, too. Willow says that “they” will take them out. He will have the Monster Abyss in his corner on Sunday during his match with Magnus. Abyss comes out and attacks Bram. Willow attacks Magnus.
EC III points to his Band-Aid on his head and says that nobody makes him bleed. He is going to expose Bully Ray for the heathen that he is. We go to commercial.
Robbie E (with DJ Z and Jesse) vs. Knux (with The Menagerie)
Knux tosses Robbie around the ring. Rebel stretches on the outside apron to put on a show for Jesse. The Freak then chases Jesse away. Robbie gets a few offensive moves, but soon gets distracted and freaked out with Crazy Steve coming up on the apron. Knux soon tosses Robbie some more before finally hitting the powerbomb for the win. Crazy Steve sticks the balloons in Robbie’s shorts. Robbie gets freaked out again and runs out with balloons in pants. Who writes this?
Winner: Knux
EC III asks Spud if everything is in order, especially the special guest. The guest is Brooke. We break for commercial.
9:53: Ethan Carter, along with Rockstar Spud (in the most colorful, crazy suit ever), come down to the ring. He says that they are there to deliver the truth. He calls out Brooke to reveal the truth of Bully’s past. When she enters the ring, they all sit in chairs set up. Ethan tells Brooke that they are all friends and can trust each other. Ethan asks Brooke if she had a relationship with Ray and if it is still going on. He asks Brooke if Bully had a drinking problem or had other women. She said no. He asked if Bully threatened to put her through a table. She said no. Spud lifted an envelope and said he has the results. He says that Bully is the “father”. He showed pictures of a baby with the same face as Bully. Brooke says she hasn’t had a baby. Spud calls her a hussy, which Brooke gets up and points her finger in Spud’s face. EC III threatens her which cues Bully Ray. Bully Ray chases Spud and EC III out. Ray tells Brooke she was an awesome girlfriend and that he’s sorry it didn’t work out. He gives her a hug. Carter comes back out and makes grotesque noises. He challenges a table’s match. He says that the only way that Bully would ever put Dixie through a table is over his dead body. Bully, because EC III said over (his) dead body, counter challenged EC III to a Texas Death Match. Ethan Carter accepts.
Kenny King is ready for his match with Eric Young. That match happens next.
