Impact Wrestling Hits
Kenny Omega, Rich Swann, and Moose: Swann showed good fire in calling out Omega, who responded with a good, arrogant heel promo with the usual strong support from Don Callis. The Moose appearance was a pleasant surprise that plays into my prediction that he will cost Swann the match against Omega on Sunday, but that’s just a shot in the dark.
Eric Young vs. Eddie Edwards: A solid television main event that provided final hype to the Violent By Design eight-man tag match at Rebellion. The big brawl at the end of the show was basic and wasn’t as good as the title vs. title match hype, but it was a good idea to feature the pay-per-view main event hype earlier in the show.
One of the brand s top stars returned on this week s episode of NXT UK.
Tyler Bate made his return to WWE television during the debut of Noam Dar s Supernova Sessions talk show segment on today s NXT UK. It set up a match where A-Kid retained his Heritage Cup Championship against Bate in this week s main event.
Bate won the first fall in the match, but A-Kid won the next two falls to retain. Though he was visibly disappointed after his loss, Bate shook A-Kid s hand and raised his arm in the air. Bate was still looking at A-Kid and the Heritage Cup trophy while leaving the ring.
