20-man Number One Contender Battle Royal on IMPACT Wrestling

The main event saw the highly anticipated number one contender battle royal to determine the next challenger for the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship.

The heart and soul of IMPACT Wrestling Eddie Edwards was the first to make his entrance while Moose and Sami Callihan entered last. W. Morrissey made a dominant start, notching up three eliminations in quick time by tossing out Suicide, Johnny Swinger and Hernandez.

Fearing the 7-foot monster, everybody in the ring joined forces to eliminate the former Big Cass from the match. Sam Beale eliminated Petey Williams following interference by Steve Maclin.

Rich Swann and Cody Deaner slugged it out on the ring apron, and Swann took him out with a superkick. Rhyno speared Swann off the apron and down to the floor before Willie Mack tossed Rhyno out.

Madman Fulton and Willie Mack traded rights in the middle of the ring before Fulton dropped Mack outside. Fulton protected Ace Austin throughout the match.

No Way struck Austin with a big right, but Fulton intervened and eliminated No Way. Fallah Bahh hit Austin with a running hip attack with a corner and nearly eliminated Austin, but Fulton got in the way and got eliminated instead.

Moose then tossed Fallah out of the ring. Trey Miguel tried fighting off Sam Beale and Brian Myers, but Myers pushed Beale into Miguel and eliminated him.

Eddie Edwards was eliminated shortly afterwards, as Myers betrayed Beale by sneakily tossing him out. Callihan spiked Myers with a piledriver in the middle of the ring before tossing out Austin, who just hung on. Both men traded blows on the apron, but Callihan eliminated Austin before Moose took out Callihan.

Sabin, Moose and Myers were the final three. Sabin and Moose had an excellent back and forth, but Myers took both men out of the ring simultaneously as Sabin applied a sleeper hold on Moose while leaning against the ropes. With that double elimination, Brian Myers becomes the number 1 contender for the IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Kenny Omega.

Result: Brian Myers wins the battle royal to become the number one contender for the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship

Grade: B+
