The future of Sami Callihan in Impact Wrestling and his World title shot at Slammiversary are expected to be decided on tonight s show.
At last Saturday s Against All Odds, the former World Champion was fired in storyline by Don Callis after he attacked Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks after Omega defended the title against Moose. Callihan was scheduled to challenge Omega at next month s pay-per-view before the storyline executive fired him.
On tonight s show, fellow Impact VP Scott D Amore will address the situation with Callis.
The lineup will also include Satoshi Kojima vs. Violent by Design s Deaner with a future Tag Team title shot for Kojima and Eddie Edwards on the line; the promotional debut of Steve Maclin, X-Division Champion Josh Alexander vs. Madman Fulton in a non-title match; Rachael Ellering vs. Tenille Dashwood; Black Taurus vs. TJP, and a confrontation between Moose and Chris Sabin.
The card for Impact’s Against All Odds is finalized with the return of Tommy Dreamer, who will team up with Sami Callihan for a Street Fight against the Good Brothers.
As if Kenny Omega’s next defense of the Impact World Championship isn’t tough enough, he just may have made it even tougher on himself. Omega is scheduled to wrestle Moose as the rightful #1 contender at
Against All Odds on June 12. Now, Impact EVP Scott D’Amore wants to make it into a three-way by adding Sami Callihan to the mix. AEW kingpin Tony Khan may be the deciding factor in determining a solution.
Prior to the main event of
Impact Wrestling (June 3, 2021), Don Callis had been hard at work trying to make sure Moose and Sami Callihan remain enemies instead of becoming a united front to lead Impact. Callis’ chat with Callihan fell on deaf ears.
