IMPACT Wrestling
– In the closing segment, Steve Maclin declares that the match against PCO is not happening at Under Siege, but he will defend his title against Champagne Singh. IMPACT President Scott D’Amore interrupted and overturned Maclin’s decision to have Singh challenge for his title. D’Amore promises to hand Maclin the IMPACT World Title if he wins at Under Siege but reveals that PCO will still be his opponent. PCO takes out Singh and Shera as Maclin retreats up the ramp, and PCO stood tall with the World Title as IMPACT went off the air.
