Surprises and returns during first live Impact in eight years

Last night’s live episode of Impact, the first one in eight years, saw a lot of surprises and returns.

Apart from the return of Mustafa Ali, Matt Cardona also made a surprise return and was in the main event spot of the show, taking on TNA World champion Joe Hendry.

His return, and maybe the championship win, was however spoiled by another return, that of John “Bradshaw” Layfield. Layfield delivered the Clothesline From Hell on Cardona as he was at ringside, helping Hendry retain the title even though Cardona did whack Hendry with the title, to no avail.

Tully Blanchard, the father of controversial star Tessa Blanchard, was also at ringside during Tessa’s in-ring promo.

NXT’s Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont, and Tyriek Igwe showed up during the NXT Tag Team title match between Fraxiom and The Rascalz. The trio got involved by attacking Wentz and Miguel, allowing Frazer and Axiom to retain the titles.

Cora Jade also made her presence felt during the show, distracting TNA Knockouts champion Masha Slamovich in her six-woman tag match along with Spitfire against Ash and Heather by Elegance and Rosemary. The distraction allowed Ash to pin the champion.
