The go home show this week was dominated by Pentagon Jr, oVe , Austin Aries and Moose. When looking at the YouTube Report this week it seems that fans enjoyed the final hype for Callihan/Pentagon Jr and Aries/Moose. Pentagon Jr and oVe take the top and third spot this week on the list. This is a good sign as these Pentagon and oVe segments are major draws for the company. Fans love to hate oVe while fans say Pentagon’s Cero Merio catchphrase along with him. This week we saw Pentagon Jr get the upperhand and momentum on oVe and Sami Callihan heading into Slammiversary.

The face to face confrontation between Austin Aries and Moose comes in at the number two spot which isn’t surprising. Moose was still angry due to Aries assaulting DeAngelo Williams last week. This eventually led to a blindside assault by Aries but Moose would get the upperhand. This week was the first time since the match was announced that we got both champion and challenger in the same place at the same time.

The Knockouts tag team match killed two birds with one stone. It allowed for Allie to pick up momentum heading into her match against Tessa Blanchard at Slammiversary and it allowed for Kiera Hogan and Shotzi Blackheart to showcase their skills. This really helped them since we haven’t seen much of Hogan since her No DQ match with Tessa and we just came off the IMPACT debut of Shotzi last week.

Overall after looking at the ratings (find that here) and now the YouTube Report IMPACT is fine heading into Slammiversary.
