Eddie then says he had Callihan dead to rights last week in the woods and blames Tommy Dreamer for allowing Sami to escape and calls him out to the ring. Tommy tries to calm Eddie down and says they have a show to run but Eddie doesn’t care. Eddie calls Tommy shellfish for not allowing him to end Sami. Dreamer says you already beat him and tells him to move on. Eddie says he hasn’t spoken to his wife since Eddie was arrested. Dreamer says he has been talking to his wife which upsets Eddie and he backs Dreamer up into the corner. Dreamer is forced to push Eddie down to the mat which enrages Eddie some more and he hits Tommy with the kendostick and says Dreamer made him do it.

After the match we cut to backstage and Fallah Bahh has been attacked and Petey Williams is holding the calling card of the mysterious attacker. Sonjay along with officials and a cop catch him with the calling card and assume that he is the attacker. Sonjay then tells the cop to arrest Petey and take him out of the Impact Zone. On the way out the cop attacks Petey and shows his face. He then says that Petey should be accountable for the attacks then stands over him with the calling card to end the show.

We've been waiting for this moment for nearly two months! The mystery attacker finally reveals himself! #IMPACTonPop pic.twitter.com/TnKYDyUthf

— IMPACT (@IMPACTWRESTLING) June 15, 2018

Ja’ Von’s Take: The show was pretty good overall. We got to see more storyline progression and found out the main event for Slammiversary: Austin Aries (c) vs Moose(Impact World Championship). Tonight was also huge because we finally saw who the mystery attacker is but no name was announced. We also saw Brain Cage taste defeat for the first time since coming to Impact. I predict that Impact will see another bump in viewership this especially since the NBA Finals are over

Next Week: Z & E vs LAX(Impact Tag Team Championships)

Taya Valykire vs Madison Rayne

My Score: 7/10
