#3 Eddie Edwards bites Brian Myers's forehead during their clash on IMPACT Wrestling

Eddie Edwards is fresh from a win against Sami Callihan in a 'Barbed Wire' match at IMPACT Wrestling: Hard to Kill. On the other hand, after scoring a win over Josh Alexander at the same PPV, Brian Myers scored another high-profile victory over Fallah Bahh on last week's IMPACT Wrestling. With momentum on both the men's sides, this was an intriguing match-up, as it was hard to imagine any of these coming up short in the match.

However, the way this match ended was shocking, to say the least. Just hardly five minutes into the bout, Edwards pushed his thumb into Myers' eyes and then bit his forehead, busting him open in the process. The referee disqualified Edwards at that moment and declared Myers as the winner. The former two-time IMPACT world champion walked away as his opponent was in utter disbelief over what transpired.

Edwards's descent into madness has been a recurring narrative that IMPACT Wrestling relies on, and while it can get tiring after a point, it's still quite entertaining. It's pretty clear that this rivalry is far from over and would spawn a few more matches in the following weeks.
