Alberto El Patron has surrendered the Impact Wrestling World Championship. Last week on Impact, Patron made a surprise debut and scored a pinfall victory Bobby Lashley. However, he got the win after smashing Lashley in the face with the title.
During a meeting with Impact Wrestling board members including Bruce Prichard and Dutch Mantell, it was decided that El Patron’s victory be overturned due to the controversial nature of the finish. El Patron resisted at first, but admitted it was the right thing to do when prompted to consider how his father, Mexican wrestling legend Dos Caras, would handle the situation. He agreed to give up the title with the assurance that he’ll get a rematch against Lashley. Prichard and Mantell said he can have a rematch if Bobby Lashley agrees to it. (See below)
Many fans have been speculating this storyline will serve as an opportunity for Impact Wrestling to introduce a new championship belt that does not feature the retired “TNA” name on it. Tune in to Impact Wrestling this coming Thursday on Pop for the latest.
