5 Best matches of the week (31st January-6th February 2021)

#4 TJP vs. Rohit Raju in a singles match on IMPACT Wrestling

The future is bright for the former X-Division Champion

If you don't watch IMPACT Wrestling, you're missing quality performances. There's at least one match a week that elevates the company to rival the top products in pro wrestling. A top-notch women's roster in their Knockouts Division, a tag team division that's now been invaded by AEW's Private Party, and a singles division so deep that two championships seem to be surrounded by a dozen challengers at a time.

We're focusing on the X-Division Champion this week, as TJP faced off against Rohit Raju in a non-title match. Raju has been chasing TJP for the belt ever since losing it to his alter-ego, Manik. Match after match, these two have delivered some absolute bangers, and Tuesday was no different. However, Rohit had a card up his sleeve.

The week before, Raju was seen talking to a "mystery man" while asking for their help. It turns out that it was his former Desi Hit Squad partner, returning IMPACT Wrestling star Mahabali Shera.

With a powerhouse in his corner, Raju may well be on his way back to the X-Division Championship. Thanks to his win on Tuesday, he'll face TJP for the title at IMPACT Wrestling No Surrender.
