IMPACT Wrestling on AXS TV: Results, Highlights and Grades for Dec. 3

X-Division Champion Ace Austin and Reno Scum vs. The Rascalz (Des, Wentz and Trey)

All six men almost come to blows before the bell even rings, but the ref separates them.

Trey and Austin stare each other down. Trey runs at him, but Austin immediately tags in his buddy.

Thornstowe tagged in, but almost immediately gets overwhelmed by Trey’s speedy athleticism. Austin quickly tags himself back in and bum rushes Trey behind his back. He pulls out a card and tries to give Trey a paper cut, but Trey fights out. Wentz tags himself in. Him and Austin trade strikes and Wentz gets the better of him with an enzuigiri.

Des tags in for a series of strikes, Thornstowe breaks up a pin attempt, causing a melee of action. Luster tags himself in. Reno Scum hit a german suplex/foot stomp combo on Des for a two count. He tosses Des out to hit a deadlift suplex before tagging Thornstowe back in. He stomps Des in the face after a kickout pinn attempt. He tags Luster back in, who hits Des with a Heart Punch (shoutout to Ox Baker).

Tag back to Thornestowe. Tag combinations from Reno Scum for a cover, but Wentz breaks it up. Thornestowe brings Des back in the corner before tagging Austin, who presses his foot against Des’ neck in the corner. He taunts Trey, who gets fired up and runs in. Ref pulls him back to the apron, and behind his back, Austin illegally stomps Des in the corner several times before cutting Des’ fingers with a lamenated card.

Des struggles to fight his way to his corner until finally nailing a roundhouse kick to Austin. Both men down, but Austin has Des’ ankle. Des manages to tag Trey while Austin tags Thornestowe. Huge comeback spot from Trey, who takes out all three men. He goes for a suicide dive on Reno Scum outside, but gets caught from a kick by Austin.

Des falls into his corner where he’s tagged. Everybody takes turns to hit a series of dives and kicks on each other to the outside.

Trey climbs to the top rope, until he sees Austin flirting with his mom at ringside. Trey bumrushes Austin outside and pounds into his face, which allows Thornestowe to get a sneaky roll-up win onto Des back in the ring. Des and Wentz argue with Trey at ringside as Trey’s mom looks on. .

Winners: Reno Scum and Ace Austin

Grade: B+

Incredibly fun tag team match, this one. Trey especially looked like a million bucks. Best I’ve ever seen him and he really stood out.

Backstage, Jordynne Grace approaches ODB. ODB immediately thinks Grace wants to approach her about Grace’s own PPV match with Taya coming up, but ODB assures that she has nothing to do with that, she’ll take Taya’s belt tonight and maybe she’ll leave a little piece of Taya for Grace to have later. Grace clarifies that she only came by to say she’s a huge ODB fan and handed her a donation for her campaign.

Elsewhere, Johnny Swinger talks to Joey Ryan backstage, complaining about “miz-arks” like Petey Williams who are chasing the “riz-ats” away. He says as top guys, they should team up. Ryan isn’t listening, but Swinger says their alliance should start tonight and when the ref isn’t looking, Ryan should help Swinger beat Williams. Ryan says he’s in, but goes right back to his phone as soon as Swinger walks out.
