Keep Refreshing For The Latest Results

Tonight marks the first episode of IMPACT Wrestling featuring a World Champion by the name of Kenny Omega, coming off of his victory of former champ, Rich Swann at Rebellion. Josh Alexander was also able to claim gold as Ace Austin invokes his rematch clause tonight.

We open to a glitch that sends us to a black screen.

They refresh it and we begin.

*Everyone is barking outside D’Amore’s office asking for a title shot. D’Amore says he will be out to the ring soon, when Callis approaches. Callis was planning a Zoom meeting with Omega, but D’Amore demands he show up in person.

*Scott D’Amore enters with the ring surrounded by the roster. D’Amore reveals that there was no rematch clause in the contract and there will be a six-way at Under Siege to determine Omega’s number one contender. Over the next two weeks there will be qualifying matches to earn a spot in the match. D’Amore invites a returning Chris Bey who will fight Jake Something.

***1/2

This was a very good match as always from these guys. I could watch Josh Alexander X-Division Title matches every day of my life. Then again, the same thing can be said about Ace Austin. I can’t get enough of the X-Division in 2021.

WINNER: MATT CARDONA
**1/2

This match was alright, with nothing very memorable but strong work throughout. Cardona’s selling and the psychology of Myers shined as it did at Rebellion. Cardona moving on should be interesting as this is his biggest shot so far in IMPACT.
