Tonight’s episode of IMPACT Wrestling will feature the return of former NFL running back DeAngelo Williams, a six-man tag team main event, Aries speaks some truth, and the OG LAX along with King kick off the show.

LAX

Last week during the closing segment of the show, Konnan came to the ring to expose King as the mastermind behind his attack at Redemption. Personal blows were exchanged and this led to King confessing that he was the one who attack him. King would then try to get Ortiz and Santana to turn on Konnan to no avail which led to Homicide and Hernandez to return and LAX now find theirselves in a civil war. What will King, Homicide, and Hernandez have to say tonight about what went down last week.

DeAngelo Williams

The last time we saw DeAngelo Williams in Impact Wrestling he was teaming with Moose at Slammiversary defeating the team of Eli Drake and Chris Adonis. Last week were told that Williams would be here to talk about the status of his friend Moose.

Austin Aries

For weeks now we have heard from both Champion and Challenger about why this match is important to them and how they became professional wrestlers. They also have been throwing jabs at each other as well. Tonight Impact is advertising that Austin Aries will be speaking the truth. What truth is Aries speaking of?

Knockouts

Last week we got a vignette thay looked like something out of a James Bond movie. This turned out to be a vignette setting up for the debut of a new knockout. Impact is advertising on social media that the new knockout could debut as soon as tonight. Two weeks ago Allie made her return yo Impact since she lost the title to Su Yung back at Under Pressure in a Last Rites Match. Last week she teamed with #1 contender Madison Rayne defeating Su Yung and her undead maid of honor. This week on social media Impact announced that Allie will be returning to singles action since losing the title. Who could this new knockout be and how will Allie fare in singles competition since being put in a coffin by Su Yung?

Six Man Tag

Last week we saw a highly anticipated first ever match between Rich Swann and Fenix. The match got a lot of praise on social media. Fenix would pick up the win but didn’t get a chance to celebrate as he was attack by a fake Pentagon Jr. who turned out to be Sami Callihan and oVe. They tried to take his mask too but was saved by the real Pentagon Jr. and Rich Swann. This led to Sami announcing via the oVe Cam that there will be a six man tag between them and Pentagon Jr., Fenix, and Rich Swann. Will oVe prevail and add another mask to their collection or will Pentagon, Fenix, and Swann gain some retribution.

With Slammiversary less than two weeks away the stars of Impact Wrestling will be looking to gain the all important momentum heading into the biggest PPV of the summer.

All this and more will be on tap for tonight’s show. Don’t forget to checkout my live coverage at the top of the show.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
