Aligning himself with <strong>Violent<\/strong> <strong>by<\/strong> <strong>Design<\/strong> and taking the place of injured VBD leader <strong>Eric<\/strong> <strong>Young<\/strong>, Morrissey joined the eight-man tag match at <em>Rebellion<\/em>. Morrissey scored the win for VBD by pinning <strong>Willie<\/strong> <strong>Mack<\/strong> after hitting the East River Crossing.

He lost to his former friend <strong>Matt<\/strong> <strong>Cardona<\/strong> in a <em>Rebellion<\/em> rematch. Myers was not happy that he had to face Cardona again to qualify when he beat him less than a week earlier. Pondering his current situation backstage, <strong>Rosemary<\/strong> offered him a tarot card reading. Myers was not interested, which lead to an attack from <strong>Black<\/strong> <strong>Taurus<\/strong>.

When things were looking bleak for Dashwood, Wilde made her return and saved Dashwood. Although Wilde made it clear that she and Dashwood were not a team, this match was still made by <strong>Scott D&#8217;Amore<\/strong>.

The <strong>New Japan Pro Wrestling<\/strong> star was victorious in a six-person scramble on the latest episode of IMPACT. He has joined fellow NJPW wrestlers <strong>FinJuice<\/strong>, who have also started working with IMPACT Wrestling in the past few months.

Grace and Jazz did not take kindly to the disrespect and challenged them to an impromptu match in which they were victorious. After the match, Scott D&#8217;Amore offered them a shot at the titles which Jazz declined, promising to stay retired. This left Grace in need of a partner and Ellering answered the call.

They accused Purrazzo of not defending her championship, which caused Purrazzo to tell them she will find Scott D&#8217;Amore to set a match between the two. Just as she was about to escape the building, D&#8217;Amore caught up to her and set the match between Havok and Rosemary with the winner receiving a shot at the title.
