Impact Wrestling Preview (1/26): Matt Hardy And Private Party Return
After making their way to the Impact Zone last week, AEW’s Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy of Private Party, along with TNA/Impact veteran, Matt Hardy, will return tonight on Impact Wrestling.
Last week, Quen and Kassidy surprised the Impact World Champions, the Good Brothers (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson), during a confrontation with Chris Sabin and his new partner James Storm when they issued a shot at the tag team championship.
When the main event between Private Party and Sabin & James concluded the show, AEW’s high flyers picked up the win with their Gin and Juice finisher to etch their names as the new number one contenders of the tag team titles.
After the AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and the Impact World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers successfully defeated the Impact World Champion Rich Swann, Chris Sabin and the self-proclaimed TNA World Heavyweight Champion Moose, in their house, what’s next for Swann and his team?
When
Hard To Kill concluded its broadcast, Moose brutally attacked Swann and issued a warning that he’s next in line for the World Championship. Will Impact management grant the TNA World Champion an Impact title shot soon?
In addition to the buzzworthy main event on Saturday, the Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo retained her championship against Taya Valkyrie. To turn it up a notch after her victory, “The Virtuosa” issued an Open Challenge Match to anyone from any promotion worldwide. Who will step up to the challenge? Will Purrazzo continue pushing boundaries in what she calls “The Age of the Virtuosa?”
Impact Wrestling has announced that Alex Shelley will be unable to travel to Nashville and as a result, has been pulled from Hard to Kill tomorrow night. Moose has been announced as his replacement, and will team with Chris Sabin and Rich Swann against Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers. The announcement reads:
NASHVILLE, TN – (January 15) There has been a huge change to tomorrow night’s industry-shaking HARD TO KILL™ Pay-Per-View main event. IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Rich Swann and Chris Sabin will now team with Moose as they battle All Elite Wrestling World Champion Kenny Omega and IMPACT Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson.
