Tonight’s episode of Impact Wrestling continues on with the final two first-round tournament matches.
Last week, Trey Miguel and Hernandez were able to get victories over their respective opponents to advance into the semi-finals, will either Michael Elgin, Sami Callihan, Ace Austin, or Rhino join them?
For the first-time on Impact, the former ROH World Champion will clash against the former Impact World Champion. Elgin has been dominant since his arrival last year; however, the 33-year-old has continuously failed to capture the big one when given the opportunity.
Callihan is hoping to get the rematch that he never got against Tessa Blanchard, as the third-generation star was the person to effectively end his reign at Hard To Kill. Will Callihan get one step closer towards another Impact World title opportunity? Or will Michael Elgin advance into the semi-finals instead?
Ace Austin has a big chance to move up the ladder within Impact Wrestling when he takes on Rhino in the first-round tournament match-up. The 23-year-old is coming off a lengthy reign as the X-Division Champion; Could the future see Ace Austin becoming the next Impact World Champion? Or will the veteran Rhino nix any of those plans?
All this and more is set for tonight’s Impact Wrestling at 8pm Eastern Time. Check out the cold open above and the advertised matches below:
Michael Elgin vs. Sami Callihan in a first round No. 1 contender to the Impact Championship tournament match.
