We open tonight’s episode with a special address from Josh Mathews. He talks about Sami Callihan’s recent attack on Don Callis in Toronto, who was about to receive a comeback of the year award from Anthony Carelli. The reason for his attack was because Callis threw in the towel in Callihan’s match against Eddie Edwards back at WrestleCon in New Orleans, potentially saving Eddie’s career.

We see a video of Callihan addressing the situation. He says Callis robbed him of his moment to end Eddie Edwards once and for all and he’s going to make an example out of Callis.

Footage is shown of Callihan’s brutal attack on Don Callis with a baseball bat. Josh Mathews notes that a meeting is going on between members of IMPACT Management to determine Callihan’s future.
