I hope this doesnt mean we will see the Good Brothers back in AEW

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118663346#Comment_118663346

Was thinking the exact same thing. Hope they never show back up in AEW. Don't think there is anyone in wrestling that has more "go away heat" with me.

ThePott

Could see Jay White and the Good Brothers, TUE and The Elite in a sort of Bullet Club Civil War story.

Tension over a Trios title if it were to be introduced.

Agent Coulson

Sacrifice on Saturday and Jonah vs. PCO is one I'm looking forward too.

CastorTroy

Forgot that's on this Saturday. WWE MSG is Saturday as well, isn't it?

It is on Saturday but not televised.

CastorTroy

Ah, thought it was going to be on the Network. So the only reason they're promoting it on TV is for ticket sales?

It seems so, I checked the Network schedule and it's not appearing on it.

Spoilers for last night:

Spoiler Warning

Josh returns! Going to face Moose finally at Rebellion

Some title changes too, Tasha won the women's belt which I didn't see coming, Influence beat the Inspiration, and best of all VBD beat the Good Brothers.

Pentecost

I watched this last night. Good show. I see Cassie and Jessie/Peyton and Billie haven't improved much in the ring since leaving WWE however.

The White Wolf

That's an interesting one. Good presentation but in ring I've always found iffy.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan tbh, much better womens wrestlers at Impact but I guess they wanted someone new. It's also so pretty interesting to note how like Josh, she's doing much better than her former tag partner since they left Impact

Agent Coulson

Poor Chelsea broke her wrist again.

CastorTroy

Wonder if she came back too soon. I'm sure there was a feud planned with Mickie in the next few weeks.

As happy as I am that the Good Brothers lost the titles, they'll likely still be on TV a lot with GOD and BC.

Josh signed a multi year deal going by what he said. Curious if it was the best he could get.

Macklin is just being a loner and not joining Honor No More? Going by the fact he attacked Eddie first.

riffmongous

I'm looking forward to seeing Zicky Dice going to "Swinger's Dungeon" next week :D

CastorTroy

And there's the expected heel turn.

Impact having an event next Friday called Multiverse of Matches.

(copied from wrestlinginc)

Ultimate X for the Impact X Division Title

Vincent vs. Chris Bey vs. Rich Swann vs. Willie Mack vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Trey Miguel (c)

Champ Champ Challenge

Deonna Purrazzo defends her ROH Women’s World Title or her AAA Reina de Reinas Title

The Bullet Club vs. Impact

Jay White vs. Chris Sabin

NJPW vs. Pro Wrestling NOAH

Tomohiro Ishii vs. Eddie Edwards

ROH vs. Impact (Non-Title)

ROH World Tag Team Champions The Briscoes vs. The Good Brothers

Impact World Champion Moose and PCO vs. Josh Alexander and Jonah

Alex Shelley vs. Mike Bailey

The White Wolf

Moose speared Alexander's Wife at a Destiny Wrestling show....show me a better heel right now! Awesome build up to Rebellion.

CastorTroy

At least the Briscoes lost through interference.

And we have Taya back. I didn't know Deonna's opponent but I don't watch AAA.

Looked like something went wrong during that Ultimate X match going by the way everyone was acting at the end.

Once again the poor production is clear. Whether it was entrance music or talking on the microphone. And when they cut to the back thru would miss the first few seconds of audio.

Surprised Sabin won.

CastorTroy

riffmongous

X-Division title match shouldn't be on a pre-show, especially not just to get more 'outsiders' on the show, or a 8 team tag match

Cherry_Cola

Agreed! Mike Bailey has to take this, he's so so good and has been a highlight of many shows lately. His BOLA performances in particular were a sight to behold.

CastorTroy

I thought the Edwards/Gresham match was for the title but looks like that's not the case.

This is one of their big PPVs that has been advertised for a while, though they had those other events. Yet the only match that been really built for more than a couple weeks is the Moose/Alexander match. And that got more promotion and video packages than Roman/Brock.

Pentecost

Gresham was "not medically cleared" so Chris Bey replaced him. Some speculation that Tony Khan pulled him. The Influence v The IInspiration was as clunky as their matches always are but then they're not really relying on their in ring ability.

CastorTroy

Was reading he possibly suffered a concussion at AEW tapings.

Resulted in the X Division title match being moved to the main show where it should've been.

Apart from the X Division title match which I wasn't sure about, I don't think there were any real surprises with the winners.

Pentecost

It was a good show. I don't follow TNA all that closely week to week but I often end up watching the PPVs when they're on Saturdays. The X division match was great.

CastorTroy

Impact had another Special Live Event or whatever they're called last night. Under Siege.

Few things of note (will spoiler in case this is the first people heard of the event and want to check it out.

Spoiler Warning

Mia Yim returned. So guess that rules out AEW for now.

Briscoes are new Impact tag champions.

Sami Callihan returned.

On a side note, I don't like Tasha's finisher, especially on someone like Havok.

riffmongous

There's a little bit too much forbidden door going on on Impact for my taste, at the moment, but otherwise I'm really enjoying the show at the moment. It seems more consistent in terms of both stories and wrestling than the other shows nowadays

CastorTroy

I think they use it well though. Like they've a small roster yet somehow they don't seem to have the same matches over and over again. They do lose people but then they also bring in people either part time or full time to change things up. And if I was to look at their matches I'm sure I would see a lot of repeats but it just doesn't always feel that way for some reason.

CastorTroy

riffmongous

That's a very nice card, looking forward to this.

I wonder who the final impact original will be? I hope it's going to be someone we haven't seen for a long time and not like Chris Harris or Storm
