IMPACT Wrestling Preview (May 27, 2021): NJPW legend to make his debut, Sami Callihan eyeing Kenny Omega's IMPACT World Title?

Will Moose be able to capture the IMPACT World Championship next month?
Will Moose be able to capture the IMPACT World Championship next month?

Welcome to this week's edition of IMPACT Wrestling Preview. We are three weeks away from the company's next major event, Against All Odds.

IMPACT put on quite a decent show last week. However, apart from the IMPACT World Championship scene, there's no proper storyline development thus far.

Ahead of this week's show, several matches and important segments have already been announced, including an NJPW legend making his IMPACT Wrestling debut. So let's take a look at what to expect from the upcoming episode of IMPACT Wrestling.


#5 What does Sami Callihan have to say on IMPACT Wrestling?

Sami Callihan will kick off the upcoming edition of IMPACT Wrestling. Last week, The Death Machine interjected himself into Moose and Kenny Omega's heated confrontation. Callihan saved Moose from a potential beat down at the hands of The Good Brothers.

He then confronted Moose in a backstage segment, making it clear that he was tired of seeing Kenny Omega and The Elite running roughshod over the IMPACT roster. Callihan also stated that he would be coming after whoever left Against All Odds with the gold.

During the kickoff segment, it is possible that Sami Callihan will make his intentions clear about coming after either Moose or Omega. While his promo may not sit well with the self-proclaimed 'Wrestling God', Moose could engage in a war of words with Sami Callihan this week.

It remains to be seen if they will be working together to wipe off Kenny Omega and his allies from IMPACT Wrestling.

Omega and The Good Brothers could also take advantage of the situation by attacking both IMPACT Wrestling stars. A chaotic situation would be a great way to kick off this week's episode of IMPACT Wrestling.

Kenny Omega might lose the top title at Against All Odds on June 12th, as the company appears to be heading towards a potential IMPACT World Championship feud between Moose and Sami Callihan.

Slammiversary 2021 is not too far away, so it would be great if an IMPACT star defends his world title at the pay-per-view.

#4 The Knockouts will be in 10-woman tag team action on IMPACT Wrestling

During the upcoming edition of IMPACT Wrestling, the Knockouts will face each other in a 10-woman tag team match.

Kimber Lee and Susan will team up with Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo and Knockouts Tag Team Champions Fire 'N Flava to take on Taylor Wilde, Tenille Dashwood, Havok, Rachael Ellering, and Rosemary.

The outcome of this match will determine which direction all these women go next on IMPACT Wrestling. The multi-woman contest may also be used to build towards a potential Taylor Wilde vs. Deonna Purrazzo title match at Against All Odds on June 12th.

As a result, Wilde will be looking to gain a crucial victory here. She could even pin the Knockouts Champion this week to earn momentum ahead of her mega clash.

Knockouts Tag Team Champions Fire 'N Flava may also find the next challengers for their titles. Tenille Dashwood appears to be in contention for the tag team belts after defeating Kiera Hogan last week. But it remains to be seen who she will team up with on IMPACT Wrestling.

#3 New World Tag Team Champions Violent By Design address IMPACT Wrestling fans

The era of Violent By Design has begun on IMPACT Wrestling. Last week, VBD won the IMPACT Tag Team Titles in a surprising fashion.

In the previous episode, FinJuice successfully defended their titles against Ace Austin and Madman Fulton during the main event. However, VBD crashed their victory celebration by entering the ring. Eric Young then gave the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy to the referee, signaling that they would be challenging the tag champs immediately.

Joe Doering and Rhino of VBD defeated the exhausted FinJuice to become the new IMPACT Tag Team Champions.

During this week's IMPACT Wrestling, Violent By Design could send a warning to the entire tag team division. With Against All Odds fast approaching, it remains to be seen who will challenge VBD at the upcoming pay-per-view. FinJuice could even demand their rematch as soon as this week.

With so many talented tag teams on the roster, Violent By Design will not be short of opponents moving forward.

#2 X Divison Champion Josh Alexander and Petey Williams wrestle TJP and Fallah Bahh on IMPACT Wrestling

A huge tag team match-up will take place on this week's episode of IMPACT Wrestling. X Divison Champion Josh Alexander will team up with Petey Williams to take on TJP and Fallah Bahh.

Alexander defeated El Phantasmo for the X Division Championship in an incredible match at Under Siege. However, he doesn't seem to have an opponent yet. Alexander's upcoming tag team match could build towards his new challenger at Against All Odds on June 12th.

TJP seems to be next in line for Josh Alexander's X Division Championship. A big win over the champion this week would earn him the opportunity to face Alexander at the upcoming IMPACT Plus special.

Back when TJP was the X Division Champion, he contested with Alexander over the title. But now that the tables have turned, TJP needs to once again prove that he is a worthy contender for X Division Championship.

#1 W. Morrisey to destroy Satoshi Kojima on the latter's IMPACT Wrestling debut?

NJPW legend Satoshi Kojima is set to make his IMPACT Wrestling debut this week. Kojima has held over 19 championships throughout his illustrious career. Having the NJPW legend perform in an IMPACT Wrestling ring would grab more eyeballs to the product.

It remains to be seen who will step up against Kojima, but we have a pretty good idea that a big debut like that won't go smoothly.

W. Morrisey could be the one to face Kojima on this week's episode, and he might destroy the Japanese star after the match. Having W. Morrisey beat down a legend like Kojima would help him gain more heat. Rich Swann may even come out to save the Japanese legend.

This outcome could then be used to build W. Morrisey and Swann's budding storyline. Both superstars are currently engaged in a feud with each other that could culminate at Against All Odds.

How exactly do you think the company will book Kojima's debut match this week on IMPACT Wrestling?
