Q8: 1.21 rating - Storm and Jacobs celebrate backstage, Sting and Bobby Roode verbal exchange and brief fight

Powell's POV: Overall, a good night for Impact, as the lowest rated segment came when there were two commercial breaks, and the drop in the second hour was as consistent or dramatic as it has been in the past. The segments with Brandon Jacobs didn't draw extremely well, though perhaps some of the final quarter-hour rating credit should go to Jacobs given that the match ended just before the final quarter and the celebration was still taking place in the final quarter. For those who missed it earlier, Impact drew a 1.19 rating.
