On July 18, 2022, Impact Wrestling announced that Over Drive would take place on November 18, 2022, at Old Forester's Paristown Hall in Louisville, Kentucky.
[6] As a result of Frankie Kazarian invoking Option C, an eight-man tournament was organized to crown a new X Division Champion, with the finals set to take place at Over Drive.
[15][16] The following week, The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin), who lost to The Kingdom at Bound for Glory, looked to gain another title match from the new champions.
[17] At Bound for Glory, The Death Dollz (Jessicka and Taya Valkyrie) (accompanied by Rosemary) defeated the Knockouts World Tag Team Champions VXT (Chelsea Green and Deonna Purrazzo) to win the titles.
[20] At Bound for Glory, Bully Ray returned to Impact in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, last eliminating Steve Maclin to win a championship match of his choosing at any time.
[22] At Bound for Glory, Taylor Wilde made her return to Impact in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, where she was eliminated 12th by Matt Cardona.
Before James could challenge Wilde to a match, both were attacked by VXT (Chelsea Green and Deonna Purrazzo) and Gisele Shaw up until the Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace made the save.
[15] This led into a six-woman tag team match between all involved on the following episode of Impact!, which Grace, James, and Wilde were victorious.
[23] At Bound for Glory, Jordynne Grace successfully defended the Impact Knockouts World Championship against Masha Slamovich, breaking the latter's undefeated streak.
"[25] Bob Kapur of Slam Wrestling gave it 5 out of 5 stars, praising the Last Knockout Standing bout for being "a must-see slobberknocker" and "a late contender for women's match of the year" and the Impact World Title main event for not only giving both Alexander and Kazarian one of their career-best but "one of the best matches in the history of the company."
"[27] Darrin Lilly of Pro Wrestling Torch also highlighted the last three matches as standouts, saying the event "continues the streak of good Impact Plus specials.
[31] He would continue his feud with Black Taurus on the December 15 episode of Impact!, when he went after him and his Decay partner Crazzy Steve during an entrance for a tag team match against The Major Players (Brian Myers and Matt Cardona), striking Steve with the spray paint can before tagging him, with the lingering effects causing Decay to lose their match.
