Impact Wrestling Results (06/01): Bully Ray Speaks, Trinity Vs. Savannah Evans

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results of "Impact Wrestling" on June 1, 2023!

Fresh off of last week's Under Siege event, Bully Ray will kick off the show to address his heinous actions. Under Siege went off the air with Bully and Steve Maclin putting Impact President Scott D'Amore through a burning table in the ring. It clearly sent a message that they don't abide by the company's authority figure, which leaves several questions left to be answered.

A pair of Knockouts matches will highlight some of Impact's newcomers. After beating Gisele Shaw at Under Siege, Trinity will now go one-on-one with Shaw's muscle, Savannah Evans. Evans tried interfering in the Under Siege match, however Trinity still prevailed. We'll also see the Impact in-ring debut of Dani Luna, who previously competed for "NXT UK." Luna accompanied Subculture to the ring for the World Tag Team title match at Under Siege, but tonight, she will square off against Jody Threat.

Additionally, Eddie Edwards will take on Yuya Uemura after the two came up short in a six-way contender's match last Friday. Sami Callihan will team up with Jake Crist again to face Decay in a tag team bout. Crist returned to the company at Under Siege as Callihan and Rich Swann's mystery partner in a trios bout against The Design. 

We can also expect more developments as it relates to Against All Odds, which is quickly approaching on Friday, June 9, as the last stop before Slammiversary in July.

After a recap of Under Siege, Bully Ray makes his way to the ring. Bully says he's the most hated person in wrestling today. He calls Under Siege one of the greatest nights of his career and life. It brought him great pleasure to put Scott through a table. Ray declares that he will win the 8-4-1 match at Against All Odds to get the world title match at Slammiversary. World Champion Steve Maclin comes out with a bandage on his head. Maclin says that Bully acknowledged him at Under Siege. And now people are asking "what if" they continue to be a team. Maclin says he loves that question, but there is a but. If Bully wins, Maclin will have to beat him.

Motor City Machine Guns enter next. Shelley reminds them that he's the number one contender. Bully says he can beat him down verbally like no one else can. He says Shelley should be in the conversation of GOATs, but he's not. Bully says he knows that gets under his skin — that a guy like him can't win the big one. Sabin interjects and reminds him that he was the one who beat Bully for the world title a decade ago. Maclin says it's great to go down memory lane, but there's a lot of truth here. Maclin says Shelley will drop the ball again at AAO, to which Shelley says that Maclin is no Josh Alexander. Shelley says Maclin would've never touched gold if Josh hadn't gotten hurt. MCMG suggest a tag match tonight. Bully says let's do it, but not tonight.

Subculture come out next. Andrews says they'll answer the open challenge in Maclin and Ray don't want to compete. MCMG vs. Subculture is a dream match for them. Shelley says they'll accept and then puts Maclin on warning.
