Welcome to the preview of this week's IMPACT Wrestling episode. We are inching closer towards the company's special event Against All Odds on June 12th.
The build-up to the event has been quite impressive so far. Last week, we witnessed a lot of story developments and an implosion during the main event. Fans can expect a similar episode of IMPACT Wrestling this time around as well.
Ahead of this week's show, several matches have already been announced, including the conclusion of a historic first-time ever bout. So let's take a look at what to expect from the upcoming episode of IMPACT Wrestling.
#5 Sami Callihan lock horns with Moose on IMPACT Wrestling
The clash between Sami Callihan and Moose will be one of the most intriguing matches on this week's show.
Last week, Callihan claimed that he's tired of seeing Omega and his allies causing chaos on his home turf. He said The Cleaner can plan against anyone but him.
His harsh words forced Moose to come out and confront him. The No.1 Contender claimed that nobody will be touching Kenny Omega until he brings back the IMPACT Wrestling World Title.
During last week's main event, Callihan teamed up with Moose to take on The Good Brothers, in what was supposed to be a win for the former World Champions.
However, things escalated between Moose and Sami Callihan which led to both men taking each other out. As a result, The Good Brothers were able to escape with a big win. Moose even hit a spear on Callihan after the match.
There is no doubt that both men despise Kenny Omega equally. But Moose has made things tough for him ahead of Against All Odds by being in the bad books of The Callihan Death Machine.
It remains to be seen who will walk out with the win in this mega clash. A victory over Callihan will give Moose much-needed momentum ahead of his title match this month.
However, Callihan Death Machine will not only be looking to get revenge but also to prove that he should be the one to dethrone Kenny Omega. The unpredictability element adds so much hype to this match on IMPACT Wrestling.
The company may choose to protect both these wrestlers by having some sort of interference from The Good Brothers. Despite that, Kenny Omega would be happy to see two of his major rivals tear each other apart on this week's show.
#4 What's next for Rich Swann and W.Morrisey on IMPACT Wrestling?
IMPACT Wrestling star W.Morrisey has been trying to make a name for himself ever since he made his debut back in April this year. The company immediately put him in a feud with former world champion Rich Swann.
Last week, Morrisey sat down with Mean Gia Miller for an interview, where he stated that the wrestling business had betrayed him. They used to mock him but now things have changed as he has reached the top of the business.
The interview was cut short as soon as Rich Swann landed a boot in W. Morrisey's face. The two men then brawled backstage but were soon stopped by security men.
Based on what happened last Thursday, the company could announce a match between Rich Swann and W. Morrisey at Against All Odds on June 12th.
W. Morrisey will be out for revenge this week and we could be in for another brawl between the two men. This seems to be the perfect mid-card storyline currently going on IMPACT Wrestling.
The feud between the two will likely get more personal before the special event.
#3 Fire 'N Flava defend their Knockouts Tag Team titles against Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering on IMPACT Wrestling
This week on IMPACT Wrestling, Fire 'N Flava will defend their Knockouts Tag Team Championships against Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering in what could be a rubber match for their feud.
It seems weird why the company chose to have this title defense ahead of the Against All Odds event. It would have made sense to culminate their month-long feud on June 12th.
Both teams are tied 1-1 in this feud. Grace and Ellering dethroned Fire 'N Flava at Rebellion and ended their title reign at 99 days. However, Hogan and Steelz quickly reclaimed the gold at Under Siege a few weeks ago.
With Fire 'N Flava's current momentum, it seems unlikely that they are going to lose their titles. Instead, we could see Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering turning on each other during this week's IMPACT Wrestling.
Last week, during the closing moments of the 10-women tag team match, Hogan and Steelz superkicked Grace, sending her into Ellering. Since then fans have been speculating about a heel turn from either Grace or Ellering.
But we have to wait until this week to find out the fallout from their match.
#2 Satoshi Kojima will have his first match on IMPACT Wrestling this week
NJPW legend Satoshi Kojima will make his IMPACT Wrestling in-ring debut as he faces Violent By Design member, Deaner, this week.
The NJPW legend made his first appearance on IMPACT Wrestling last week by interrupting Violent By Design. He then confronted his old rival, Joe Doering and laid down a challenge to him for a match at Against All Odds on June 12th. Later on, Doering accepted the challenge.
Ahead of his big match, Satoshi Kojima will be looking to make an impact by defeating Deaner this week.
But with the lurking threat of Violent By Design, things could get difficult for the NJPW legend. It is possible that Joe Doering could attack his old rival after the match.
Regardless of the outcome, fans will be happy to see Satoshi Kojima wrestle under the IMPACT Wrestling banner. The company has certainly struck gold on this.
With only a few more episodes left until Against All Odds, the company must make major developments in building up Satoshi Kojima's big match on June 12th.
#1 Who will be victorious in the first-ever 60 minute Iron Man match in IMPACT Wrestling history?
History will be made this week on IMPACT Wrestling when Josh Alexander will defend his X-Division Championship against TJP in the first-ever 60-minute Iron Man match in the company's history.
Scott D'Amore made the match official last week after TJP and Josh Alexander put on an amazing performance during their tag team match.
It is worth noting that the majority of the title bout will take place on BTI with the final part happening on the IMPACT Wrestling episode.
Both TJP and Josh Alexander have put together some of the most memorable bouts for the X-Division Championship in the past. Interestingly, TJP has a 2-1 lead over the Canadian star.
The former WWE star certainly has the advantage, considering he's also a former two-time X-Division champion. Fans can expect a title change on the latest episode this week.
Irrespective of what the outcome could be, both these superstars will surely put on a show for the fans.
Many are already buzzing over this upcoming historic clash, with some even considering it to be a contender for Match Of The Year.
