IMPACT Wrestling returned with yet another solid episode as we see the fallout from Victory Road pay-per-view. We saw the long-awaited return of The Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels to the IMPACT Zone. The former X-Division Champion Josh Alexander had some words after deciding to go with Option C to challenge Christian for the World title.
We also found out about the fate of the X-Division Championship. The rivalry between Bullet Club and FinJuice heated up as David Finlay was up against Hikuleo in singles action. Mickie James called out Deonna Purrazzo as the build-up towards Bound For Glory continues. Eddie Edwards and Sami Callihan set out on a mission to hurt W. Morrissey and Moose.
Without further ado, let's discuss the five talking points from this week's edition of IMPACT Wrestling. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.
#5 Bullet Club take advantage of the numbers game on IMPACT Wrestling
The rivalry between FinJuice and Bullet Club has been building up for weeks. Just days after losing to the team of Chris Bey and Hikuleo, David Finlay and Juice Robinson fell victims once again to the numbers advantage of the Bullet Club.
Finlay and Hikuleo competed in singles action. The latter dominated most of the match with his terrific display of power, tossing the former aside with ease. Bey's interference ensured Hikuleo remained in control before Finlay connected with a neck breaker and followed it up with a crossbody.
The closing moments saw another attempt at interference by Bey only to be stopped by Juice leading into a pinning predicament which ensured Finlay's win.
After the match, Hikuleo blindsided Finlay, leading to a brawl between the two sides which saw FinJuice on top. As they set Bey up for the Doomsday Device, El Phantasmo made his shocking return and the numbers game caught up with FinJuice as the Bullet Club stood tall yet again on IMPACT Wrestling.
#4 Tournament announced for the X-Division Championship on IMPACT Wrestling
Towards the end of IMPACT Wrestling's Victory Road pay-per-view, Josh Alexander made his way to the ring and confronted the IMPACT World Champion Christian Cage and uttered the words, "Bound For Glory...Option C" seemingly showing his intention to give up the X-Division Championship to have a shot at the world title.
Executive Vice President Scott D'Amore has announced a tournament to crown a new champion at Bound For Glory. He announced that three triple threat matches will be taking place in the coming weeks, with the winners facing each other in the finale at the pay-per-view.
The tournament kicks off next week as Laredo Kid, Trey Miguel, and Alex Zayne will be facing each other.
#3 Street Fight announced for next week's IMPACT Wrestling
The rivalry between Eddie Edwards and W. Morrissey became personal as the latter attacked the former's wife at Victory Road. Gunning for revenge, Edwards and Sami Callihan were on the lookout to hurt Morrissey and Moose.
They found Moose and took him out. Later, as they were about to attack Morrissey, a host of security officials interrupted to stop any altercation about to go down. D'Amore was also present there and announced a Street Fight between Edwards and Morrisey for next week.
#2 Deonna Purrazzo vs Mickie James made official for IMPACT Wrestling's Bound For Glory
Last week on IMPACT Wrestling, following the match between Trey Miguel and Matthew Rehwoldt, Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo attacked the former and hit him with a low blow. Mickie James then hit the ring and had the last laugh as she took out both Purrazzo and Rehwoldt with a splash off the top rope.
This week, James headed to the ring and called out the champion in an attempt to resolve the issues between them stemming the latter's attack at NWA 73. The two had a verbal back and forth following which James challenged Purrazzo to a match at Bound For Glory.
The champion dismissed the challenge, saying James had to earn a title shot and was not entitled to one. Things got physical as a brawl broke out between the two, leading security to separate them.
D'Amore made his way out and said that James is one of the pillars on whom the company is built and is deserving of the title match before proceeding to make the match official.
#1 Fallen Angel returns to IMPACT Wrestling
Earlier in the night, there was an altercation between Ace Austin, Madman Fulton, Christian Cage, and Josh Alexander which saw Austin attack Christian's eye. The match between Austin and Alexander was later made official.
The two put on a fantastic bout with back-and-forth action, with the latter winning with a C4 Spike. Following the match, Fulton and Austin attacked Alexander but Christian Cage made the save. However, the heels gained the upper hand and looked to demolish the faces.
At this point, The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels made a shocking return and took out the heels as he stood tall with Christian and Alexander to close this week's edition of IMPACT Wrestling.
