* El Hijo de Dos Caras defeated Mario Bokara in a match for Xplosion
* Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer opens the show in the ring with Jeremy Borash. He reads a proclamation, announcing Wednesday, July 5th, 2017 as Impact Wrestling Day in Orlando. Dyer will ring announce for a match tonight. JB brings out Tony Marrero, a survivor of the Pulse night club terror attack that happened last summer, to remember the victims of the tragedy

Dyer and Marrero posed with the losing team and a few referees for a photo-op in the middle of the ring after the match
* They re-shoot Unified Knockouts & GFW Women’s Champion Sienna’s non-title win over Amber Nova from Tuesday night. The match didn’t last half as long as Tuesday’s match did and it ended with Sienna’s AK-47 instead of the submission win from yesterday

* Bobby Lashley comes to the ring and wants a world title shot at Destination X. He calls Bruce Prichard to the ring but Prichard says they already discussed this matter.
