Eddie Edwards in Impact Wrestling
On this week’s episode of Impact Wrestling, Edwards was the final man left for Team Impact against Team AAA. He was eliminated after Eli Drake hit Edwards with a kendo stick, however, allowing Psycho Clown to roll him up for the win.
Drake and Edwards are scheduled to face each other next week on the show.
Edwards has won world titles with 3 different promotions. He’s a former ROH World Champion, GHG Heavyweight Champion for Pro Wrestling NOAH, and a former Impact World Champ. He defeated Bobby Lashley for the title in 2016 and held it to the following January. Edwards lost the title back to Lashley in a 30-minute Ironman match at Genesis 2017.
Edwards defeated Katsuhiko Nakajima for the GHG Heavyweight title in the summer of 2017. He would drop the title to Kenoh that December.
Edwards’ ROH World title run began when he defeated Roderick Strong for the belt in 2011, becoming the promotion’s first triple-crown winner in the process. He dropped the title to Davey Richards 3 months later at Best in the World 2011.
