Impact Wrestling results, video highlights, and analysis - 2 February 2019
Last week's episode of Impact Wrestling ended in chaos as Brian Cage interrupted a championship match between Killer Kross and Heavyweight Champion Johnny Impact. Only a few weeks away from another title defence with Cage, what will Johnny Impact have to say?
What kind of destruction will Kross and Moose reign upon the roster after being screwed out of the championship last week?
Also tonight, a tag team match featuring two of the best teams in the division, Lucha Bros and the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions, in a six-man match in which both teams were given partners by Konnan.
Lucha Brothers & Taurus vs LAX & Daga
Pentagon and Santana began the match. It didn't take long for all men to launch into the ring, taking each other out, leading Daga and Taurus in the middle of the ring. Taurus took Daga out with a huge running dropkick, then took out Ortiz with a tope con Hilo.
Pentagon and Santana finally got back inside and began trading chops and superkicks. Pentagon avoided an enziguri but was pushed into the ropes. Santana attempted a roll-up but Pentagon escaped only to be dropped by a cutter. Pentagon kicked out.
Ortiz was tagged in, and LAX and Daga took turns pelting Pentagon with kicks, followed by an assisted moonsault. Pentagon kicked out again.
Daga and Santana knocked Fenix and Taurus off the apron, leaving Pentagon by himself. Pentagon, in the corner, sent Daga flying, then avoided a shoulder tackle by Ortiz. A running dropkick hit Ortiz instead of Pentagon, and a monkey flip crashed the LAX members into each other.
With Fenix tagged in, Ortiz was initially left playing catch up but managed to plant him with a Blue Thunder Bomb. Both Daga and Taurus tagged in, and Taurus sent Daga into the corner for a kick and an enziguri. Daga shook it off, and after running off the ropes dropped the big man with a German suplex.
Taurus broke out and took down Daga with a springboard cross body. Ortiz tagged in, going after Taurus. On the outside, he took him down with a tope. Pentagon followed with a suicide dive, with Santana taking all men out with an Asai moonsault.
Fenix, not to be outdone, connected with a springboard corkscrew senton, which took us to commercial.
Back from break, the Lucha Bros had Ortiz down in the middle of the ring after a double superkick. Fenix took out Daga and Santana while Taurus sent Ortiz down with a spinning Michinoku Driver. Ortiz kicked out.
Pentagon and Fenix finished Ortiz off with Fear Factor for the win.
Results: Lucha Bros & Taurus defeated LAX & Daga via pinfall.
With a victory over Impact Wrestling's best team and tag team champions, will Pentagon Jr. and Fenix be next in line for a title shot? Now redeeming their loss at Impact Wrestling Homecoming, it definitely seemed that way. Fenix and Pentagon got a mic to call out LAX. Pentagon played to the crowd, then addressed the champions.
Pentagon challenged LAX for the Impact Wrestling Tag Team Titles, hoping to repeat the fantastic match fans saw at Homecoming. Next week on Impact Wrestling, we will get just that.
Backstage, Melissa Santos interviewed Killer Kross and Moose. Kross said he wasn't in very good spirits, claiming that everything was going according to plan until Cage interfered last week. Kross said that, despite everything the Machine believes, he's not invincible.
Moss said that he'd been through wars, and the best way to win them is by keeping their composure.
