Chris Sabin defeated Lio Rush in the main event of Impact 1000 (Night One) to become the new X-Division Champion.
Sabin put Rush away with a Tanaka Punch, the Shell Shock, and hit the Cradle Shock to score the title victory.
Sabin is now a 10-time X-Division Champion, surpassing his own record for the number of title reigns.

Later in the show, Taylor was interviewed alongside Moriarty and he claimed that his stable has been carrying ROH for many years and that he was tired of people telling him to be humble and pay his dues.
Taylor then announced Moriarty as a member of the faction.
