Edwards had successfully defended the championship he won against Trey, Sami Callihan, Brian Myers and Rob Van Dam in open challenges since his Slammiversary victory, but came up short tonight against the World Class Maniac Eric Young.

Congratulations to new @IMPACTWRESTLING World Champion @TheEricYoung!Three weeks ago, EY told me how good it felt to be part of something he believes in. It must feel even better to be part of something that believes in him too.#IMPACTonAXSTV pic.twitter.com/mSGh5ZLJow

Sportskeeda meets Eric Young

Just a few weeks ago, when we caught up with the World Class Maniac to discuss his return to IMPACT Wrestling at Slammiversary, Young noted how it felt "good" to be part of something he believed in again.

We're not one to try correct the World Class Maniac, but maybe it's worth noting how Eric Young isn't just part of something he believes in, but something that believes in him too in IMPACT Wrestling.

"It feels good to be part of something I believe in again."@TheEricYoung recently told me how "proud" he is to be back in @IMPACTWRESTLING - and of his excitement at signing a contract to be part of the company's future!📝: @SKProWrestling https://t.co/VDE7qvhIrf
