TNA’s Moose Talks Preparations Ahead Of WWE NXT Title Showdown

TNA X-Divison Champion Moose has was part of the February 25, edition of WWE NXT, where he retained his championship against Lexis King. After the match, it was confirmed that Moose will challenge NXT Champion Oba Femi at the March 11, NXT Roadblock event.

In a WWE NXT Digital Exclusive, Moose discussed his “awesome experience” with WWE NXT so far and how his journey to the brand has been a long time coming.

“Every weight I’ve ever lifted, every flight I’ve ever boarded on, every country I’ve ever went to, every championship I’ve ever won prepared me for this moment.”

Moose admitted to being surprised by the fans cheering him in WWE NXT, as he’s used to being booed by TNA crowds. The leader of The System, Moose admitted that he’s been waiting to face Oba Femi for a “very long time.”

“I have a ton of respect for Oba. He’s done a lot of great things in the last two years. But let’s be honest, without me, there wouldn’t be no Oba. At Roadblock, I’m gonna prove that to him.”

Moose’s arrival in NXT, as well as Femi’s recent role in TNA, comes thanks to a multi-year partnership between WWE and TNA Wrestling. This partnership has also seen the women of both brands get involved, with Cora Jade set to challenge for the TNA Knockouts Title at Sacrifice.

With everything to gain, Moose hopes to do what Joe Hendry failed to do last October and become the WWE NXT Champion. While The Ruler of NXT won’t make things easy, Moose intends to prove why everyone should “trust the System” on March 11.

The Hardy Boyz Defence, Title vs Title And More Confirmed For NXT Roadblock

The Hardy Boyz are set for Madison Square Garden return.

NXT is set to hold the Roadblock event from The Theatre at Madison Square Garden on March 11. The company made multiple big matches official for this show during tonight’s episode of the development brand.

After Moose successfully defended the X Division Championship against Lexis King, the current NXT Champion Oba Femi came out to confront the TNA star. Femi announced that the former NFL star would be facing him for the NXT title at the upcoming show.

Elsewhere in the show, Women’s Champion Giulia came out to confront the NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer after the latter defeated Karmen Petrovic in a title match.

The Japanese star first congratulated Vaquer and then declared that she wanted to know who the best champion was. She then challenged the Mexican star to a title vs. title match at the upcoming show.

The Hardy Boyz Set For NXT Roadblock

Potentially the biggest match that was announced during the night was of The Hardy Boyz. The TNA tag team champions defeated Tavion Heights and Myles Borne in their WWE in-ring return at the February 25 show.

The NXT tag champs Axiom and Nathan Frazer came out looking for a fight with the legendary tag team after this. TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella then announced that The Hardys will defend their titles against the NXT team at the upcoming PPV.

With multiple crossover matches, the upcoming event is becoming a must-watch show. It’d be interesting to see if the Hardy Boyz stick around WWE programming after Roadblock.

NXT Vs. TNA Title-For-Title Match Set For Upcoming Event (Spoilers)

On the latest WWE NXT, TNA X-Division Champion Moose confronted Oba Femi, and the reigning NXT Champion returned the favor during the latest episode of Impact. Femi will be in six-man-tag action on next week’s Impact, pitting the Ruler and the Hardys against The System, but a much bigger match has now been confirmed.

During the latest tapings of Impact, for an episode set to air on March 6, Femi was again part of the show, but his moment was cut short when Moose and the System stormed the ring. Both Moose and Femi held up their titles, and a winner-takes-all match has been set for the pair. That showdown will come at NXT Roadblock on March 11, from The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Regardless of who wins, this match will prove to be historic. Since TNA and WWE NXT began partnering in 2024, no wrestler has won a championship from the other show. That will change soon enough, as in addition to the winner of this match, Cora Jade hopes to become TNA Knockouts World Champion at Sacrifice.

As for whether it’ll be Moose or Femi who become a double champion, time will tell. One thing for certain though, is that NXT Roadblock in the Theatre at MSG will be the stage for arguably the biggest match in this multi-year partnership to date.

Moose Says Match With Oba Femi Will Come In A Few Weeks

On the February 18, edition of WWE NXT, TNA’s X-Division Champion Moose made his stunning arrival, confronting NXT Champion Oba Femi. In an NXT Digitial Exclusive, Moose shared his excitement after finally making his presence felt in WWE.

“It’s been awesome. Great, great feeling. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m happy I’m finally here.”

During NXT, Femi and Moose agreed that a match between the two must happen. In the interview, Moose shared that he’s had his eyes on Femi for “a very long time” and doesn’t plan on waiting much longer to face The Ruler.

“In a few weeks, I feel like we will lock horns and we will see who the better man is.”

Before Moose locks horns with Femi, he will put the X-Division Championship on the line during next week’s WWE NXT against Lexis King. Moose won’t be the only notable TNA name on the show, as Matt and Jeff Hardy, the reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions, will take on the No Quarter Catch Crew during the February 25, show in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Moose has spent years as one of TNA’s leading names and now fans will get to see what he’s capable of against some of the top stars of WWE NXT. With the partnership between WWE and TNA set to last for years, fans can expect plenty more huge crossover moments like we saw this week.

Oba Femi Teases ‘Invasion’ of TNA After Moose Confrontation

Could WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi be the next to ‘cross the line’ and show up in TNA Wrestling? Don’t count it out according to the Ruler. After being confronted by TNA X-Division Champion Moose on the February 18, episode of WWE NXT, Femi teased showing up in TNA.

“Moose invaded my territory tonight. I think it’s time I invaded his.”

WWE NXT opened with an angry Femi addressing the attack on him by four masked men after his succesful title defense at NXT Judgment Day. Femi said that the four made a fatal error in that they didn’t finish the job. Though Femi demanded that the four men come out to the ring, he was confronted by Moose instead.

Though a match has been yet to be made between the two champion behemoths, it appears a showdown is inevitable. Fans can look forward to seeing two of the very best on their respective brands locking horns as the WWE-TNA partnership continues to prove to be stronger than ever.

The show opened with NXT Champion Oba Femi coming out to address the crowd at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

“I’m the one man you can’t reign over” and “This has to happen. Oba Femi vs Moose,” Moose said.

Femi replied:

“Don’t worry, it will.”

An intense stare-down followed as both men held their titles high. Stay tuned for news on when this blockbuster inter-promotional battle of the giants takes place.

Moose Responds To ‘Fake News’ About TNA Locker Room Morale And X Division Championship

TNA X-Division Champion Moose has addressed the fake news that’s been going around about the Anthem-owned company the last few days.

The return of Tessa Blanchard to the company has garnered mixed reaction from fans and there have been all kind of rumors about how it has affected morale behind the scenes. Adding to the negativity was the rumor about the officials retiring the coveted X-Division title at the most recent TV tapings.

The current champion addressed both of these topics in a new X post calling them fake news. He urged the fans to tune in to AXS TV to find out the future of the TNA belt:

The X Division championship was originally introduced back in October 2002 as a secondary title for the company. With names such as AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, and Kurt Angle being on the list of former champions, the title holds a special place in the history of the wrestling industry.

Tessa Blanchard exited TNA back in 2020 under mysterious circumstances. The company had terminated her contract and stripped her of the Impact World Title, resulting in all kind of rumors about her departure.

The former champion returned to the company during the Final Resolution PPV last week. She made a surprise appearance, targeting former Knockouts champion Jordynne Grace during her match with Rosemary.

Moose Explains How His Wrestling Retirement Will Be Different

The goal of any wrestling talent is generally to get to a bigger promotion and continue growing their brand but Moose has a different mindset.

The 3-time TNA World Champion has spent the majority of his wrestling career working for the Anthem-owned promotion and his plan is to continue wrestling for them until the time comes to hang his boots.

The wrestling star recently appeared on the Battleground podcast to promote tonight’s Victory Road PPV event. He is set to challenge Nic Nemeth for the world title in the main event of the show.

During the interview, the former champion explained that in time he wants people to think of himself when they think of TNA, just like they think of AJ Styles right now.

This is why he has dedicated his career to the company instead of going elsewhere. Unlike many other wrestlers who continue competing long after their prime, the 40 year old plans to retire with the promotion once his current contract ends:

“That’s the plan. I’m not one of those guys that wants to keep wrestling until he’s 50 or 60, I want to hang those boots up and ride into the sunset and enjoy some of this money I made with pro wrestling and pro football.”

After retiring from professional football, Moose started training under Mr. Hughes. He made his pro wrestling debut in 2012 and he was competing for promotions such as ROH and NJPW by 2015.

He has been a regular part of the Impact roster since making his debut in 2016. He has won a number of titles in the promotion since then while also winning the company’s signature matches such as Call Your Shot Gauntlet.

The former NFL star confirmed that he signed a new 5-year deal with Impact back in February 2024. Barring any injuries or other unforeseen circumstances, that would put the timeline of his retirement sometime in early 2029.

TNA Champion Moose Praises WWE NXT as Best Partner in TNA History

TNA World Champion Moose likes what he’s seeing from his company’s working relationship with NXT and WWE. The NFL alum recently chatted with Alistair McGeorge for Metro and praised the ongoing situation as, “the best relationship that TNA’s ever had.”

TNA has worked with AEW, AAA and others throughout the years, but Moose says the talent exchange with NXT has been second-to-none. Moose says both companies are acting professionally, which is not always a given in wrestling. “There’s not one company that is being selfish,” he said.

NXT & TNA

Wrestling fans have been treated to WWE’s own version of the ‘Forbidden Door’ over the past few months. TNA Wrestling stars Jordynne Grace, Frankie Kazarian, The Rascalz, and Joe Hendry have all graced the NXT, with a strong TNA presence on this week’s NXT TV. Both The Rascalz and Joe Hendry are expected to remain in the mix for the foreseeable future.

NXT stars who have shown up in TNA include Tatum Paxley and Izzi Dame, who challenged Grace for the Knockouts World Championship. The No Quarter Catch Crew made a home in TNA, with Charlie Dempsey defeating Zachary Wentz on the latest episode of Impact. Even Drew McIntyre has teased returning to TNA, which would be quite a scene considering he’s a former TNA World Champion..

Could Moose Join WWE?

Moose has yet to appear in WWE NXT as part of this working relationship, but there’s been talk for years about him one day joining the promotion. In the interview, Moose admitted that “WWE is a place I always wanted to work for.” Should he join, Moose would be met with some familiar faces from TNA’s past including reigning Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and former TNA World Champion Drew McIntyre.

Whether Moose one day competes for WWE or not, the reigning TNA World Champion will be in action this weekend at Slammiversary. The odds will be against Moose in the six-way eliminator for his title which will see him defend against Joe Hendry, Josh Alexander, Steve Maclin, Frankie Kazarian, and Nic Nemeth. The show marks the highest gate of any TNA event over the past decade, as things are certainly heading in the right direction for Moose and all those in TNA.

Drew McIntyre Teases TNA Involvement: “Door Opens Both Ways”

The ‘Forbidden Door’ is open in WWE after TNA Knockout Champion Jordynne Grace appeared on the May 28 episode of NXT. Grace answered the challenge to take on NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez for the title at NXT Battleground on June 9. After the surprising appearance, both talents from WWE and TNA Wrestling have shared an interest in facing each other on social media. 

Several notable names like X-Division Champion Mustafa Ali and WWE superstar Cedric Alexander have pitched on X facing each other after Grace NXT’s debut. While fans are also pitching dream matches from both companies, Drew McIntyre has officially put his name out to go through the ‘Forbidden Door.’ 

On X, ‘The Scottish Warrior’ shared a picture of himself holding the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and wrote “Doors Open Both Ways.” 

Longtime TNA fans may recall that McIntyre had a successful run with the company from 2015 to 2017. The crowning moment of his TNA career was when he won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Matt Hardy on an episode of Impact Wrestling on March 15, 2016. ‘The Scottish Warrior’ held the title for almost three months before dropping it to Bobby Lashley at TNA Slammiversary on June 12. 

McIntyre’s interest in working with TNA again makes fans curious whether WWE will allow him. The cocky superstar is currently involved in a feud with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest and will challenge for the title at Clash At The Castle next month. WWE may keep McIntyre focused on preparing for his homecoming event. 

Regardless, one TNA talent has responded to his post. 

TNA Champion Welcomes A Match With Drew McIntyre

In response to McIntyre’s tease, TNA World Champion Moose warned him about wanting to cross over. Moose shared a photo on X from a win over McIntyre for the Impact Grand Championship on an episode of Impact Wrestling on March 2, 2017. 

McIntyre has yet to respond to Moose’s comments, but it does create intrigue for a potential rematch between them. It’s unclear what WWE and TNA have planned beyond Grace challenging Perez at NXT Battleground. However, the online interactions between WWE and TNA talent are exciting fans for what is to come.

Matt Hardy Gets TNA World Title Shot At Against All Odds

On Thursday’s episode of TNA Impact, Matt Hardy was gifted a title match against Moose for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. The match will take place at Against All Odds on June 14.

The announcement came after Matt Hardy won a tag team match, teaming up with Ryan Nemeth against the duo of Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers.

Backstage after the match, Director of Authority Santino Marella was going to give a tag team championship shot to Hardy and Ryan, however, Hardy wanted to take on Moose instead. He said that he had set his sights to win the world title from Moose, which Santino offered him.

In place of Hardy, Nic volunteered to be Nic’s partner, and Santino gave the duo a tag team title match against Edwards and Myers.

The card for Against All Odds 2024 is starting to shape up, and these are the confirmed matches as of now:

  • Moose (c) vs. Matt Hardy for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
  • The System (c) vs. Nemeth Boyz (Ryan and Nic Nemeth) for TNA World Tag Team Championship
  • Mustafa Ali (c) vs. Trent Seven for the X-Division Championship

Matt Hardy on how the TNA return happened

Recently, Matt Hardy talked about how he returned to the TNA at the Rebellion PPV. Talking on Busted Open Radio, the Attitude Era star revealed that the deal happened last minute:

“So last night was me showing that pro wrestling can still be unpredictable. I popped up. This was done in a couple days notice. we kind of started talking about this on Wednesday. Then this kind of materialised over a couple days doing some shots for TNA and a little story arc. Pro Wrestling is at its best when it’s unpredictable.”

Even his brother Jeff Hardy wasn’t privy to Matt making his way to TNA, and he only found out after the show ended.

At Rebellion, Hardy confronted Moose and hit him with a Twist of Fate. This was the set-up to a match between the two, which has been now made official.

TNA TV PPV Buys Down Significantly Following Rebellion

TNA is making some big moves when it comes to free agency but unfortunately it isn’t transferring over into PPV buys via television.

Just this past Saturday, the company had it’s Rebellion PPV and it featured the main event of TNA World Champion Moose defending his title against Nic Nemeth. The card also featured Josh Alexander taking on Hammerstone in their rubber match which was a Last Man Standing fight.

According to Dave Meltzer, Rebellion saw a massive drop in PPV purchases in comparsion to TNA’s return PPV earlier in January, Hard To Kill. Hard To Kill had over 66,000 buys on TV and streaming, which happened to be a record for the promotion. Unfortunately, Rebellion had only 500 TV buys at air-time, that’s an 89% drop in comparison to Hard To Kill which had 22,400. However, the streaming buys have yet to be released so TNA should see at least a little boost with the combination.

Although the buys of down, the perception of TNA is very positive with acquisitions such as Nemeth, Hammerstone, AJ Francis and Mustafa Ali. Rebellion also saw the major returns of Matt Hardy and Mike Santana into the company fold.

Nemeth said in an exclusive interview with SEScoops, noting how much he believes in TNA as a company and the promotion’s long-term booking plans. Nemeth isn’t signed to any contract with TNA, but noted his primary goal is getting the company over and its roster of rising stars.

You can check out the full interview with Nemeth below:

TNA World Title Matches Set for April 2024 Starrcast Downunder Convention

Championships from TNA Wrestling will be on the line in Australia next month as part of an event that’ll see some of the biggest stars in wrestling go ‘down under.’

The Starrcast Downunder convention will take place from April 11 to April 14, from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. Guests named for the convention include Bret Hart, Mickie James, Eric Bischoff, Bull Nakano, SoCal Val, Alicia Fox, Powerhouse Hobbs and Chris Masters, among others. The event will be presented by Oceania Pro Wrestling (OPW), in partnership with Visit Victoria. 

TNA Wrestling at Starrcast

The upcoming convention will see plenty of TNA participation. It has been announced that TNA World Champion Moose will put his title on the line against Josh Alexander. The challenger never lost the title but his record-breaking reign ended in 2023 due to an injury. This match will go down at the Australian Stampede on April 13 at the Selkirk Stadium, and will be curated by Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart.’

On the women’s side of things, the HER event will be hosted by Mickie James and will also see TNA gold on the line. TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace will defend against Delta, the most dominant force in the Australian wrestling scene. That show will take place on April 12 from the Selkirk Stadium.

In addition to the three TNA talents named in these matches, Starrcast Downunder will also see KUSHIDA make an appearance. 

TNA Wrestling in Australia

Starrcast Downunder will mark TNA’s return to Australia after hosting its Down Under Tour in the summer of last year. That tour saw the roster, host shows at the Equex Centre in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales.

Nic Nemeth to Challenge for the TNA World Title Next Month

Popular free agent Nic Nemeth has quickly made an impact in TNA Wrestling. He made his shocking debut at TNA Hard To Kill on January 13 and put the roster on notice. Two months later, the company granted him the opportunity to challenge for the TNA World Championship at their next premium live event.

On the March 14 episode of TNA Wrestling, Nemeth was involved in a tag team match alongside Speedball Mountain (‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey & Trent Seven) against The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz) and Steve Maclin. After Nemeth won the match, TNA World Champion Moose, Eddie Edwards, and Brian Myers attacked the ‘Babyfaces.’

Moose made sure to hit the former WWE talent with his title and celebrated as the show went off the air. After the episode ended, TNA announced on Twitter that Moose would defend the TNA World Championship against Nemeth at TNA Rebellion on April 20. 

The upcoming title opportunity will be Nemeth’s second since leaving WWE. On February 23, he defeated David Finlay at New Japan Pro Wrestling The New Beginning in Sapporo to win the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship. A win over Moose would be impressive, as he would win two titles from TNA and NJPW in less than two months. 

That said, Moose is still early in his reign, and TNA may not have him lose it this quickly. Nemeth is also not signed exclusively to the company, which may hurt his chances of winning the TNA World Championship. Regardless, the match has the potential to be exciting, and fans will be interested if Nemeth wins. 

More Matches Announced For TNA Rebellion

Although TNA announced Moose’s next championship defense, they had another match to make official. On Twitter, TNA shared that Edwards and Myers would defend the TNA World Tag Team Championship against Speedball Mountain at the next PLE. 

Speedball Mountain has been building momentum as a team, so it seemed like a matter of time before they earned a title opportunity. Edwards and Myers won their championship at TNA Sacrifice on March 8 by defeating ABC (Ace Austin & Chris Bey). It may be early for another title change, but Speedball Mountain will present an exciting challenge at TNA Rebellion. 

The upcoming PLE looks like an interesting show that fans may not want to miss. Nemeth will have a chance to make history by winning his first TNA World Championship.

TNA Knockouts Championship Match

On this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT! it was announced that Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace will defend her gold at No Surrender against Gisele Shaw. Both women have been building momentum as of late. Grace captured the title at Hard to Kill last month and shocked the world by competing in the 2024 WWE Women’s Royal Rumble Match. 

Gisele Shaw earned her shot at Grace at Hard to Kill by winning a Knockouts Ultimate X match. She defeated Alisha Edwards, Dani Luna, Jody Threat, Tasha Steelz, and Xia Brookside in the show’s opener. 

TNA World Championship Match

At Hard to Kill, Moose captured the TNA World Championship from Alex Shelley. During this week’s TNA iMPACT! Shelley officially informed Moose that he’d be utilizing his rematch. Moose accepted the challenge and warned Shelley that he was going to learn how “The System” works. The System is the name of Moose’s faction, which consists of himself, Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, and Alisha Edwards.

Whoever wins this TNA World Championship match could soon be sharing the ring with Nic Nemeth, who made his TNA debut at Hard to Kill. After close to two decades in WWE, Nemeth is ready for a fresh start in TNA and has set his sights on the top of the card…

Moose: TNA is the Best Wrestling Company Top to Bottom & It’s Only Going to Get Better

TNA World Champion Moose is ready for the promotion to take the wrestling world by storm after the strong start at Hard to Kill. 

The January 13, event marked the official relaunch of TNA Wrestling, which was announced back at Bound for Glory 2023. Speaking on the Insight podcast, Moose was asked how it feels to be a TNA wrestler and recalled the locker room’s reaction to last October’s announcement. 

“[It feels] Great! It’s something that within the boys, that we’ve always talked about. We’ve always said to each other ‘What if TNA came back and we weren’t IMPACT Wrestling anymore? We were just TNA?’ I didn’t know personally [about the rebrand] They didn’t tell me, I’m the last person that finds out about anything that’s going on. I remember the night, I think Josh [Alexander] was in the main event and everybody was like ‘Make sure you watch the monitors after the match.’ In my head, I’m like ‘What’s going on?’ Is CM Punk coming in? Because he was a free agent at the time. CM Punk coming in? No way!

“So I’m going to watch the monitor and the match is over and the reveal happens. And there’s a reaction video and you can see me jump up, get on the chair chanting ‘T-N-A! T-N-A!’ with the rest of the boys. I think that was the most epic part of the year last year.”

Moose on TNA Hard to Kill

In the main event of Hard to Kill, Moose captured the TNA World Championship from Alex Shelley, ending the 218-day reign of the Motor City Machine Gun. Moose’s celebration would be short-lived, as he was confronted by the debuting Nic Nemeth, who laid out the new champ with a superkick. On the podcast, Moose recalled the excitement of what happened after his win. 

“I don’t think anybody was expecting what happened after [Hard to Kill’s main event.] Obviously, I wasn’t expecting it either. But just rethinking the whole moment. They set it up in the weeks prior that there’s going to be a huge signing and this person is showing up at Hard to Kill. ‘You won’t believe who’s there!’ I think the way they set it up, they announced Dana Brooke [Ash By Elegance] in the Women’s Championship match. And everybody thought ‘Oh man, Dana Brooke, that’s awesome.’ That’s a new signing to TNA.

“So [after that] nobody thought anything was going to happen. And then I win the title and I’m celebrating and Nic [Nemeth] comes out from out of nowhere and kicks my ass. He’s gonna get his back.”

Moose Makes His Promise

TNA Hard to Kill would prove to be a runaway success for the promotion with fans and those in the industry praising the relaunch show. On the podcast, Moose vowed that Hard to Kill is just a sign of things to come. 

“It just shows how great the year has started off, and it’s only going to get better. I promise you… And I’m sure he [Nemeth] is going to have great matches with a ton of guys on my roster. There’s the crazy thing about it. You go on Twitter and you see all these idiots, that never watch the product, only say bad things.

“But then you watch the product and as soon as you watch it, you’re hooked because you’re like ‘I didn’t know TNA was this f****** good!’ We, I think, in my personal opinion, are the best wrestling company from top to bottom.”

TNA Wrestling is ready to ‘Cross the Line’ once more…

Moose Reveals What Kept Him From Signing with WWE

Former Impact World Champion Moose says he was incredibly close to signing with WWE last year. His previous contract with Impact was set to expire in June 2021. At the time, it was rumored that WWE was interested in his services.

During a recent interview with Fightful, Moose reveals that he was extremely close to jumping ship.

“I was pretty much about to walk into WWE,” he said. “I was literally gone. The last talk I had with Scott D’Amore really showed me how much they wanted me. I talked to my wife about it. I was like, ‘You know what? I still have a lot of things I haven’t accomplished at Impact. So leaving to go to WWE right now would not be fair to myself and not fair to Scott.”

Moose on Impact Morale

Moose compared his current deal with Impact to the one he joined the company with in 2016.

“I’ve been there since when people weren’t getting paid. I remember my first contract I signed with Impact under the Dixie Carter era. I got paid when I first signed and I didn’t see another paycheck until like four or five months later.

“Scott taking over has really turned the locker room and turned Impact around. He’s made it an actual company people want to come work for.”

In addition to being a former Impact World Champion, Moose is a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and two-time Impact Grand Champion.

Moose Says Impact’s Shows Are Just As Good As AEW or WWE

Impact World Champion Moose recently stated that he believes Impact’s shows are just as good as AEW or WWE’s. He also stated that he hopes the promotion will begin to run bigger venues as well.

“If you watch our shows, I feel our shows are just as good, if not better than AEW and WWE,” Moose said. “I think the biggest challenge, if I was running the company, I would try to expand our following in the sense of getting bigger venues and seeing if we can draw a 5,000 or 6,000 seat arena. You never know unless you try it. Let’s see if we can start slowly running in big arenas, especially our PPVs.”

Moose continued to say that he had a custom Impact World Championship belt made but the company decided against him using it.

“I’m going to break the news now. I actually had a custom Impact World title made. It looks exactly the same, but it’s on a red strap, on red leather. I pitched it and it got turned down. I understand why it got turned down. I don’t want to get into the details of it, but I understand why. If I keep it long enough, maybe they’ll change their mind on it.”

At the Hard to Kill PPV earlier this month, Moose successfully defended his title against Matt Cardona and W. Morrissey in a triple threat match. He’s scheduled to face W. Morrissey in another title match at No Surrender next month. Impact recently spent two days in Fort Lauderdale taping episodes of their weekly programming. Spoilers for those shows are available below:

The Impact world champion wrestling the WWE Universal Champion seems unlikely. However, it is possible.

Moose vs. Roman Reigns is unlikely, but two other champions from WWE and Impact could share a ring very soon Entrants for the upcoming Women’s Royal Rumble include Impact Knockouts Champion Mickie James and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.

Callihan appeared on Busted Open on SiriusXM with Dave Legraca and Bully Ray to give his injury update. He suffered a broken ankle during an Impact Wrestling taping on September 18th. Callihan revealed that he is starting to walk without screws and preparing for his comeback in the interview.

“I got my screws out on December 23rd. I started taking my first steps a couple of days ago, and the Callihan ‘Death Machine’ is starting to lose weight. I’m starting to get stronger each and every day,” said Callihan. He continued, “…When I come back to Impact Wrestling, there’s going to be hell to pay for a lot of people.”

Sami Callihan Wants to Wrestle Moose

Callihan made his intentions clear on who he wants to wrestle when he returns to Impact Wrestling. On Busted Open, he called a Moose and said he wanted to hurt Moose. He is responsible for breaking Callihan’s ankle in the storyline, and Moose is also the current Impact World Champion.

“…Fuck you, Moose. I don’t care if you are champion. I don’t care if you’re just being a dude on Impact Wrestling. When I come back to Impact Wrestling, I’m going to break your damn legs,” said Callihan.

Callihan also shared that he will not say when he will return to Impact Wrestling, as he likes the element of surprise. However, he is looking to return to Impact Wrestling before August 2022. Ray asked why Callihan had animosity towards Moose; Callihan explained that Moose tried to take his livelihood. Callihan also promises that he will return better and meaner than ever.

Moose Title Defense at Hard to Kill

Moose will defend his championship against Matt Cardona and W.Morrissey in a triple threat match at Hard to Kill on January 8th, 2022. If Moose were to retain his title, it could set up a match between himself and Callihan. However, it is still unclear how soon Callihan will be ready to return. Moose also has unfinished business with Josh Alexander if Impact Wrestling wants to have their rematch. Regardless, Callihan wants his revenge on Moose, whether for the championship or not.

Impact Results (12/16): Chelsea Green Knocked Out By Chairshot During Contract Signing

Impact Wrestling on 12/16 continued the build to the Hard to Kill PPV on January 8th. It featured a major angle between Moose and Matt Cardona.

Impact quick results 12/16:

  1. Josh Alexander defeated Rohit Raju w/Raj Singh
  2. Joe Doening & Doc Gallows w/ Karl Anderson & VBD defeated Rich Swann & Willie Mack w/ Heath & Rhino
  3. Trey Miguel defeated John Skyler
  4. Chris Bey defeated Laredo Kid
  5. Tenille Dashwood defeated Jessie McKay

Josh Alexander Defeats Rohit Raju

Alexander had to contend with interference from Raj Singh on the outside but came back to win this match with a C-4 Spike. Commentary played up that we are seeing a more aggressive side to Alexander recently. They also noted Alexander is still dealing with injured ribs from JONAH’s attack at Turning Point.

Later in the show, JONAH would cut a backstage promo about being the top dog and facing Alexander at Hard to Kill.

Violent By Design and The Good Brothers Working Together, Doc Gallows & Joe Doering Defeat Rich Swann & Willie Mack

The Good Brothers and Violent By Design were interviewed in the back and spoke about having come to a business agreement to work together, as we saw them do last week. This led to Doc Gallows teaming with Joe Doering to take on Rich Swann and Willie Mack this week. The finish of the match came shortly after Doering tossed Swann off the top turnbuckle and then him and Gallows gave Mack a double choke-slam and got the pin.

After the match, VBD and the Good Brothers continued the assault on Mack, Swann, as well as Heath and Rhino who were in Mack and Swann’s corner. This led to Eddie Edwards coming out with a kendo stick to make the save.

Steve Maclin Attacks Trey Miguel

X-Division Champion Trey Miguel defeated John Skyler with a meteora this week. As he was heading to the back after the match, however, he was attacked by Steve Maclin. Maclin then dragged him backstage to end the segment.

After the break, we cut to a video of Miguel tied up backstage while being taunted by Maclin.

Chris Bey Picks Up Win Over Laredo Kid

Laredo Kid had to contend with HIKULEO on the outside and it cost him this match here. After a crazy back and forth match, Laredo Kid looked like he had the match won. Bey was prone on the mat and Laredo went to the top. HIKULEO got up on the ring apron, however, and Laredo eventually took him out with a diving attack to the floor. The distraction allowed Bey to recover. Bey then countered a diving attack from his opponent into a cutter and got the 3-count.

Deonna Purrazzo vs Mickie James At Hard To Kill Made a Texas Death Match

Footage of Deonna Purrazzo and Knockouts Champion Mickie James getting into a confrontation at an autograph signing aired. We then cut to a clip of Purrazzo and James being told their match at Hard to Kill will now be a Texas Death Match by Gail Kim.

Tenille Dashwood defeats Jessie McKay

The short-lived alliance between the Iinspiration and the Influence continues to implode. This week Jessie McKay took on Tenille Dashwood in singles competition. McKay looked like she had the match wrapped up after delivering a big boot but Kaleb pulled the referee out of the ring. This led to Madison Rayne attacking Cassie Lee and McKay coming out of the ring to deal with her. As McKay got back in the ring, Kaleb grabbed her foot, which allowed Tenille to hit the spotlight kick for the win.

Chelsea Green Knocked Out By Chair Shot During Hard To Kill Contract Signing

The main event of the show featured a contract signing for the Impact World Championship match at Hard to Kill. Consistent with how such segments usually go, this one eventually broke down into a brawl. Morrissey signed the contract and promptly left. Moose then called Chelsea Green some names and Cardona attacked. Moose put Cardona through the table and then taunted him with his title belt.

It looked like Moose was going to leave but he turned around and came back. He wrapped Cardona’s neck in a chair and looked like he was going to hit him with another chair but Chelsea Green stopped him. Cardona then went to go hit Moose with a chair but missed and hit Green. Cardona checked on Green as Moose laughed and made his way to the back to end the show.

David Finlay & Juice Robinson took one step further to getting back in the tag title hunt this week. They took on two members of Brian Myers’ Learning Tree in VSK and Zicky Dice. The finish of the match saw them hit a backbreaker elbow drop double-team move for the win. VSK and Dice were seen arguing with each other after the match.

Eric Young Defeats Rhino In A Street Fight

Despite Eric Young telling the other members of VBD not to come out for the match, there was a lot of interference here. Joe Doering and Deaner came out but were thwarted by Heath. Willie Mack and Rich Swann also came out to help Young but this brought out the Good Brothers, who attacked Swann and Mack. This left Rhino and Eric Young in the ring together and Young delivered a low blow and a piledriver for the win.

After the match, VBD and the Good Brothers beat down the babyfaces. There appears to be some alliance made between the two teams.

Decay Defeats The Iinspiration and the Influence

Before this match it appeared as though the Influence and the Iinspiration weren’t seeing completely eye to eye. In a backstage interview they debated what the name of their group should be. Madison Rayne doesn’t seem impressed with the Iinspiration. The finish of this match started when Taurus tossed Dashwood to the outside and everyone but Kaleb with a K moved out of the way. Madison Rayne then started arguing with the Iinspiration over them not helping to catch Dashwood. Dashwood was tossed back in the ring and Rosemary hit her with a spear and got the 3-count while Rayne and the Iinspiration were still arguing.

The participants for the Knockouts Ultimate X match at Hard to Kill were announced. Gail Kim made the announcement as they were welcoming Lady Frost to the division. The participants in the match will be Lady Frost, Rachael Ellering, Tasha Steelz, Jordynne Grace, Chelsea Green and Rosemary.

The stipulation for this match was that if W. Morrissey could defeat Cardona, Cardona would be removed from the world title match at Hard to Kill. Moose was shown watching this match from a private suite. Morrissey was disqualified for shoving the referee while he was beating up Cardona in the corner. He then delivered a big boot to the referee following the end of the match. Morrissey continued the attack on Cardona until Chelsea Green came out. Moose also came out and told Morrissey to pick up Cardona and continue the attack. Morrissey hit Moose with a boot instead. He then shoved Chelsea Green out of the way but Cardona delivered a double-leg takedown and kicked Morrissey out of the ring. Cardona was left with the Impact world title in the ring to end the show.
