With Impact Wrestling doing holiday specials for the final two weeks of 2020, they gave their fans something to look forward to as they announced matches for both their January 2021 debut and for Genesis a few days later.
On the first new Impact on January 5th, Sami Callihan will renew his rivalry with Eddie Edwards. The two have been at odds again for several weeks with Callihan challenging Edwards Tuesday after Edwards wife Alisha lost to Tenille Dashwood.
Their feud dates back to 2018 when Callihan accidentally injured Edwards eye with an errant baseball bat shot, causing Edwards to suffer a broken nose and broken bones in his face.
With Impact Wrestling s Final Resolution special being taped in advance, AEW World Champion Kenny Omega appeared on the show on the same night as he defended his AAA Mega Championship at Triplemania.
It was announced during Final Resolution that Omega and Don Callis were outside of the building in Omega s bus. Later in the show, Callis did an interview outside of the bus and was asked if Omega planned on getting involved in the show. Callis said there s no way he would allow Omega to get involved in Final Resolution. Callis said Omega was there visiting family.
That family ended up being Omega s former Bullet Club stablemate Karl Anderson. He met with Omega and Callis on Omega s bus and reminisced with Omega about the good old days. Anderson said he d love to talk with them all night, but he had to go wrestle Ethan Page. Callis said Anderson could beat Page in a couple of minutes and be back in time for cocktail hour.
