Chris Sabin and Moose will settle their differences once and for all at IMPACT Wrestling's biggest event of the year, Slammiversary.
Their feud dates all the way back to May 15. At IMPACT Wrestling: Under Siege, Moose's repeated attacks on Sabin's knee led to the 8-time X Division champion being sidelined for over a month. During that time, Moose looked to get the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship back to his brand from Kenny Omega at Against All Odds. The Young Bucks interfered and assisted 'The Belt Collector', costing Moose the match.
When Moose addressed his loss on the subsequent episode of IMPACT Wrestling, Chris Sabin made his return and attacked Moose, ultimately challenging him to a match at Slammiversary 2021.
Sabin is as big an IMPACT Wrestling legend as they come, while Moose is in the best shape of his life and one of the top stars in the company. Their match is likely to be one of the highlights of Slammiversary. So what are the possible endings to this grudge match? Let's find out.
#5. Chris Sabin goes over clean at Slammiversary
The unlikeliest result will be Chris Sabin going over Moose clean. Sabin is a veteran with double-digit championship wins in IMPACT Wrestling over the course of his career. He doesn't need a clean win over one of the biggest men in IMPACT Wrestling.
That might still happen, after all Sabin is the good guy in the feud. Slammiversary will be hosting fans for the first time in over a year and a half, so a win for the babyface would make the crowd happy. Moreover, a clean win would immediately catapult Sabin to the top of the IMPACT Wrestling food chain if that is a direction the company wants to go in.
#4. Moose bends the rules to win at Slammiversary
Moose is the heel heading into Slammiversary. On the go-home episode of IMPACT Wrestling, after defeating Hernandez in quick fashion, Moose attempted to inflict further damage on Hernandez's leg with a chair. Chris Sabin made the save and Moose escaped after a short brawl.
Moose has shown throughout this feud that he will try and win by any means necessary. So him looking to get a dirty win could be on the cards. Expect Moose to try and take advantage of any referee distractions and employ other heel tactics like low-blows to gain an unfair advantage in order to emerge as the victor.
#3. The Elite cost Moose at Slammiversary
It's worth noting that the Slammiversary match between Sabin and Moose only came into being when Moose was addressing his loss to Kenny Omega, a loss in which The Young Bucks played a huge role. Moose threatened to hijack IMPACT Wrestling before Sabin made his return and sent him running.
It is quite possible that The Young Bucks and/or The Good Brothers haven't forgotten that promo. They could make their presence felt here to cost Moose once again at Slammiversary. If Kenny Omega retains against Sami Callihan, Moose might return to the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship picture to continue his quest to get the title back to his company.
#2. The Motor City Machine Guns reunite at Slammiversary
The Motor City Machine Guns won the titles at last year's Slammiversary. The team is comprised of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin. The duo are two-time IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions. They last wrestled together over 6 months back when Shelley had to take a break from wrestling due to legitimate health concerns.
Prior to his break, the duo lost their titles because Sabin was forced to fight alone following a backstage attack on Shelley. It would be a great time for Shelley to make his return in front of fans to assist his long-time partner get a big win.
The return would be poetic as well, since the Motor City Machine Guns won the tag titles at last year's event.
#1. Moose wins clean at Slammiversary
Moose winning clean at Slammiversary is probably the best conclusion for this rivalry. Chris Sabin loses nothing from defeat as he can always cite ring-rust from a long layoff as the reason for his loss. However, for Moose, a clean win would further legitimize The Wrestling God as the top star in IMPACT Wrestling.
Heels are usually expected to win using underhanded tactics to get more heat. However, when they beat another top star clean, it really establishes them as a monster.
Moose has all the attributes to be a top star. He oozes charisma, is serviceable on the mic and is excellent between the ropes. Him going over Chris Sabin is the best course of action for IMPACT Wrestling.
