(Universal Studios)<br \/>\nAired on Pop TV<\/h3>\n<p><i>Announcers<\/i><em>:\u00a0<\/em><em>Josh Mathews &amp; Don Callis<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>1 &#8212; LAX beat Z&amp;E to become the new Impact Tag Team Champions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not only a great start to the show, but a really good match no matter where it was placed on the card. Even though they lost the titles, being such a new team, this was an excellent showing for Z&amp;E against the top tag team in the company (despite their losing streak). The Z&amp;E title win was a transition move to get the belt off Eli Drake and Scott Steiner, and it allowed Impact to tell the story of LAX struggling to find themselves as a team with Konnan gone, until King has now shown up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 &#8212; Scott Steiner beat KM via submission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This entire run with Steiner has been weird. First he was a heel aligned with Eli Drake, then he was a tag team champion, lost the belts, turned (sort of?) on Drake and now he&#8217;s the big legacy babyface all of a sudden? None of it is clicking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 &#8212; Madison Rayne beat Taya Valkyrie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Madison Rayne has been effectively retired for a few years now, and Impact has brought her back into the fold and given her wins over Tessa Blanchard and Taya Valkyrie. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m alone in asking, &#8220;why?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Taya missed some tapings with immigration issues in Canada, and the company is heading back there so maybe they can&#8217;t use her again and they know that, so they&#8217;re trying to give someone the rub by beating her. Honestly, I&#8217;d rather see a heel-heel match and give Tessa a statement win over Taya. Giving Madison Rayne this push feels like it&#8217;s four years too late.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2885660232\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>4 &#8212; El Hijo Del Fantasma &amp; Pentagon Jr. beat OVE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think I liked this match more than others, reading some other reviews of the show over the last few days. It definitely started slow but the action picked up mid-match and really showed how underrated OVE is right now. The reason I feel that they&#8217;re underrated is they&#8217;re essentially there to take pins for Sami Callihan, who Impact is (rightfully so) trying to protect.<\/p>\n<p>They feuded earlier this year, but there is still a lot left in a OVE vs. LAX feud. Especially with the roles reversed.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I&#8217;m not sure I understand what the company is doing with Fantasma and Pentagon. The whole idea of OVE suddenly feuding with the two Lucha talents feels out of place.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3322253529\"><div id=\"pwtor-2915457463\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Impact Wrestling Results June 7, 2018 Taped from Orlando, Fla.
