El Phantasmo Qualifies For X-Division Championship Match At Bound For Glory
We now have the 3 wrestlers who will face off for the vacant X-division championship at Bound For Glory. Joining Trey Miguel and Steve Maclin will be Bullet Club’s El Phantasmo. After his Bullet Club teammates provided a distraction on the outside, taking Willie Mack out of the picture, ELP spiked Rohit Raju face first into the mat and got the 1-2-3.
Savannah Evans Picks Up Victory Over Lady Frost
Savannah Evans won the Monster’s Ball match at Knockouts Knockdown and followed it up with a win here over Lady Frost. As for Frost, this is two losses in a row for her as she was also eliminated in the first round of the tournament on Saturday when she lost to Rachael Ellering. Evans got the win with a full nelson slam. So, it looks like she is headed to the top of the division.
The Iinspiration Feel Their Title Shot At Bound For Glory Is “Well Deserved”
The former Iiconics, now known as the Iinspiration, had a letter sent to Gail Kim from Sydney, Australia. Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay said that their tag team title shot against Decay is well-deserved despite never having competed in the division. The letter also requested that it be read out loud in an Australian accent.
Rich Swann defeats VSK
Swann picked up revenge this week after VSK attacked him after a match recently. It looks like Mack and Swann are moving into a feud with the Learning Tree here. Swann landed numerous strikes followed by a Phoenix Splash for the win.
Swinger’s Palace Closes Down
Since Impact have moved its tapings to Las Vegas, Swinger’s Palace is no longer able to operate. Chris Sabin and others paid tribute to the underground casino closing this week.
Heath Wants His Partner Back
Heath signed his Impact contract with Scott D’Amore this week after a long time on the shelf with injury. He requested a match pitting him and Rhino against Violent By Design but nobody is too sure where Rhino’s head is at these days or who he is aligned with.
Chris Sabin Defeats Chris Bey
FinJuice came out to support Chris Sabin in this match here against Bullet Club’s Chris Bey. Bey also had his stablemates at ringside but after some commotion on the outside both teams were sent to the back, leaving just Sabin and Bey to go one-on-one. Sabin then picked up the victory with the Cradle Shock.
W. Morrissey Wins Battle Royal, Will Enter Last In Call Your Shot Gauntlet
The stipulation here was that the winner of the battle royal will enter the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at Bound For Glory last but the runner-up will enter first. So, a lot on the line. It came down to Chris Sabin and W. Morrissey. Moose provided some assistance on the outside, preventing Sabin from throwing the big man out and this allowed Morrissey to toss Sabin out instead to pick up the victory.
Minoru Suzuki Is Coming Soon To Impact Wrestling
A vignette aired this week advertising that Minoru Suzuki is on his way to Impact Wrestling. A big forbidden door addition is “coming soon.”
Josh Alexander No Longer Respects Christian Cage
A sit down interview with Josh Alexander and Christian Cage was held this week. During the segment, a clip from a Impact fan fest was shown where Christian said he didn’t know who Josh Alexander was. Cage said it was just good natured ribbing but Alexander was clearly upset. He said he has lost his respect for Christian and stormed off. This will no longer be a friendly contest at Bound For Glory.
