#4 Rohit Raju vs Trey Miguel - IMPACT Wrestling May 6th, 2021

If you don't watch IMPACT Wrestling, you truly don't know how great a wrestler Rohit Raju is. The Mocca Skin Manimal captured the X-Division Championship last year after his group, The Desi Hit Squad, left TV. Though the Hit Squad failed to pick up a lot of wins in their run, Rohit Raju has proven himself a top competitor for IMPACT Wrestling.

As far as his opponent goes, Trey Miguel was once part of one of the company's most exciting groups in The Rascalz. His partners, Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz moved on to become the NXT Tag Team Champions MSK. Miguel decided to stick around for IMPACT Wrestling and has been in and out of total contention ever since.

In a qualifying match to find Kenny Omega's number one contender, Miguel and Rohit seemed to have something to prove. Miguel had been told repeatedly by Sami Callihan that he was someone who would give up on IMPACT Wrestling when he failed. Rohit, on the other hand, was desperate to prove that his success in 2020 was not a fluke.

It was a great match-up that highlighted Trey's incredible speed and mat prowess vs Rohit Raju's veteran mindset. Though Trey was able to outwrestle Raju, he was often cut off by the former IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion before he could build up too much steam.

Raju has never been a slouch, though, and was able to hit the Divorce Court, a Michinoku Driver, and a twisting DDT on Trey. The Rascal failed to hit his Meteora finish, but focused on a new part of his game, locking in his Hourglass submission so synch in a win.

Rohit Raju is a proven hand with IMPACT Wrestling. The man will always deliver a great match-up. And when he's paired with someone like Trey Miguel? It becomes must-watch TV.
