ROLL CALL OF CURRENT CHAMPIONS

Impact World Champion: Josh Alexander
The Walking Weapon would not be denied. Six months after winning and losing the title in the span of minutes, Alexander beat Moose in a really, really good match, and THIS time still has it. My guess is that given the shorter-than-normal turnaround time between Pay-per-views, we'll see a rematch with Moose (possibly with a gimmick) next month.

Impact World Tag Team Champions: Violent by Design
Eric Young, Joe Doering, and Deaner retained their titles in an eight-team gauntlet, aided by coming out last. I'd say there are no obvious contenders, but with the Briscoes coming in this week....

Impact X Division Champion: Ace Austin
Now in his third reign as champion, Austin seemingly is here as champion as a means to get the belt on "Speedball" Mike Bailey at Slammiversary. Don't get me wrong, Ace Austin is good at wrestling, but it's clear the endgame here for this storyline.

Impact Knockouts World Champion: Tasha Steelz
Steelz is also what appears to be a transitional champion, waiting for Masha Slamovich to take the title from her.

Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions: The Influence
I'm as shocked as you are! I would have for sure believed the IInspiration would've won against Tenille Dashwood and Madison Rayne, but that's wrestling for you. Other than Decay, there are no obvious tag teams to face the Influence.

Impact Digital Media Champion: Matt Cardona
A fitting champion, Cardona might be going into the tag division with Brian Myers, which could lead to another person winning the title. If W. Morrissey is still in Impact Wrestling, I'd put my money on him.

NEXT PAY-PER-VIEW: SLAMMIVERSARY 20
On the 20-year anniversary of the first NWA-TNA show, June 19th in Nashville. Which means I will be out of the country at the time and probably won't be able to watch :negative:

It's not that kind of test.
Rebellion was very good! I'm not sure I've enjoyed an Impact/TNA PPV that much before and I'd consider watching weekly if my slate wasn't already pretty full. Definitely back for the next big event though!

It's another "we only have two weeks before a minor event" build, but Under Siege looks good so far:

-Josh Alexander vs. Tomohiro Ishii
-Violent by Design vs. the Briscoes
-Tasha Steelz vs. Havok
-Taya Valkyrie vs. Deonna Purrazzo
-Bullet Club (White, Bey, Good Brothers, and El P) vs. Honor No More (Edwards, the OGK, King, and Vincent)

Looking at the upcoming taping schedule (and extrapolating from Forbidden Door), I'd suspect Takahashi would most likely challenge for the X Division Championship on my birthday, July 1st, barring unforeseen circumstances.

I'll admit I did not expect Masha to be able to put away Havok that easily, but I am certainly on board of the Masha Machine. Overall yet another good episode in what by now has kinda become the standard for Impact. Morrissey and Gujjar should give that tag thing a go, imho. Big fan of Josh And Dem Boys.

Scott D’Amore is probably thanking his lucky stars he re-signed Ace Austin back in March, considering how surprisingly over he’s got in Japan.

He took plenty of poo poo for good reason years back but honestly he seemed pretty improved in his one-off appearance against Wardlow a few weeks ago. Wonder where he’ll go from here

I'm not sure it gets more rock bottom than DT seizures at an indy show. I'm glad he was able to get back on his feet and work his way back up to what I presume is another fed contract. He worked pretty well for a guy in blue jeans.
