ROLL CALL OF CURRENT CHAMPIONS Impact World Champion: Kenny Omega Well, Omega backed up what he said and won the title. Other than a Swann re-match, there are no obvious challengers. Also the AEW World Champion and AAA Mega Champion. Impact World Tag Team Champions: David Finlay & Juice Robinson FinJuice does it again! The duo from NJPW beat the Good Brothers again, sending them to the back of the line. With New Japan cancelling some shows in Tokyo, might their reign last a little while longer? My guess for challengers is a team in Violent By Design, perhaps Joe Doering and Rhino. Impact X-Division Champion: Josh Alexander While not being a flippy guy, the Walking Weapon won the X-Division title from noted flippy guy Ace Austin in a fun match also involving TJP. There are plenty of guys who could reasonably challenge Alexander, but Ace Austin getting a rematch will probably be first in line. Impact Knockouts Champion: Deonna Purazzo The Virtuosa has defeated all challengers to her title, and Tenille Dashwood has been added to the list of the fallen. The return of Taylor Wilde makes Purazzo's next challenger obvious. Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions: Rachael Ellering & Jordynne Grace Team Beef took down Fine N Flava at Rebellion in what was Ellering's third or fourth match overall since coming back from a knee injury. I could see Kimber Lee eventually getting involved in a match down the line, should the rematch with Hogan and Steelz go the current champs' way. NEXT PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT: SLAMMIVERSARY XIX This July, possibly at Skyway Studios due to COVID-19 still being a thing.

Chris James 2 posted:Someone in the PPV GDT said something along the lines of "modern Eddie Edwards looks like a man whose gimmick is "heard too much Dropkick Murphys"" and I've been thinking about it ever since lol Eddie Edwards without Davey Richards needs a gimmick, so why not play into his Boston-ness?

I think the Impact Wrestling/AEW crossover will keep going as long as the promotions can't tour safely, so I'd say Bound For Glory is a reasonable time for Omega to drop the belt.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Would they have taped this right after the PPV or how does it work? I would assume they did tapings Monday and Tuesday, maybe some stuff yesterday as well. The only good thing about this COVID-19 pandemic is that you can tape things out of order and there's no crowd to confuse or bore.

I’ll hazard a guess that Sabin will be #1 contender, setting up an Elite beatdown leading to the return of Alex Shelly.

Procrastinator posted:It does seem like they're pushing Moose for it by having him interact a ton with Don Callis, but they could certainly save that for later. If anything, I’d be inclined to believe Moose sides with the Elite.

Slammiversary XIX will be July 17th. The 90-day no-compete clauses from the April 15th WWE releases end July 14th.

Please refer to Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers by their stable name, the SUPER ELITE.

I think the guy to beat Kenny Omega will be Josh Alexander. I don’t know how and I don’t know why, but I have a gut feeling that this is where it’s heading.

We're getting Satoshi Kojima vs. Deaner to set up the Joe Doering match, and I'm not complaining since they're stablemates.

Considering their 90-day no compete clause is up just before Slammiversary, I’d give even odds that they appear ASAP. Hell, I could see Impact Wrestling taping some stuff on July 14th for the show airing the next night just to squeeze as much as they can in.

There will be fans at Slammiversary, but only a few because it's still going to be at Skyway Studios in Nashville.

It looks like Satoshi Kojima is going to be staying stateside a bit longer - he's got a match against Rhino this Thursday where if Kojima wins, he and Eddie Edwards get a tag team title shot at Slammiversary.

OK, so it won't be Purrazzo/Wilde. It'll be Purrazzo/Van Ness.

I’m pretty sure there was a press release this past year from Impact Wrestling saying they turned a profit for what might have been the first time ever, so whatever they’re doing is working.
