Gia Miller interviews IMPACT World Champion Josh Alexander, Rich Swann and Frankie Kazarian. Before they face Time Machine at Sacrifice, they must first go to war with Bullet Club tonight. Alexander declares victory in both of their upcoming matchups, despite them never teaming as a trio before. They’re confronted by the #1 Contender at Rebellion, Steve Maclin, who claims that the only reason Alexander is teaming with Swann and Kazarian is being they’re no longer threats to his title reign.

After being granted the opportunity to choose his own opponent on his road to 50 wins, Johnny Swinger gets more than he bargained for when he selects Jai Vidal.
