As their respective teams continue to fight their way through to January s Hard To Kill, Impact World Champion Rich Swann will face Karl Anderson, one half of the Impact Tag Team Champions, in a non-title match next Tuesday.
On Tuesday s Impact, Swann (pictured) and the Motor City Machine Guns went looking for Anderson, Luke Gallows and AEW World Champion Kenny Omega on their bus but the former Bullet Club members got the jump on them with another beatdown.
The two teams will headline Impact s January 16th pay-per-view. Omega has been a presence on the show since winning the AEW title at December s Winter Is Coming as part of a bigger plan with Impact VP Don Callis.

During a recent appearance on the Sitting Ringside with David Penzer podcast, The Young Bucks commented on Chris Jericho’s legacy, AEW’s partnership with Impact Wrestling, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Nick Jackson on Chris Jerichoâs legacy: âMatt and I were on his podcast a couple weeks ago, and we asked him the question, âWhat drives you to continue to be successful? Youâve done it all. What else do you need to prove? Thatâs something that we see in him where we go, âMan, we think weâve done a lot. Look at this guy. Look at his drive. I want to be like that. I want to never stop working hard and continue to try to be successful with a hard work ethic.â Heâs a prime example of that. Heâs a great guy to have in our locker room.â

Jeremy’s Impact Wrestling Best of 2020 (Part Two) Review
Hello there, Impact fans! It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for another episode of Impact Wrestling. I’m Jeremy, and we’re back for another “Best of 2020” episode, concluding Impact’s 2020. Last week saw several awards given out and matches from the year shown; this week we’ll get match and moment of the year, plus more. Much like last week, as Impact looks back on its 2020 we’ll be looking back at our coverage of Impact with flashbacks to our recaps of each match. So let’s jump right in!
The show opened with a Brodie Lee memorial graphic.
Scott D’Amore and Josh Mathews hosted the show. Throughout the night, we had a series of showcase matches, award announcements, and backstage segments building towards Genesis and Hard to Kill.
The two big awards left for this show were Moment of the Year and Match of the Year.
Moment of the Year Award was given to the Slammiversary XVIII debuts and returns, where we saw the return of the Motor City Machine Guns, the return of ECIII, the debut of Heath, the debut of Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows, and the five-person main event with Ace Austin, Eddie Edwards, Trey Miguel, with the returning Eric Young and Rich Swann. Eddie Edwards would go on to win that match to become a two-time Impact World champion.
