It was time for another AEW Dynamite ad on IMPACT Wrestling, paid for personally by Tony Khan. The AEW President said that since showing up on IMPACT Wrestling over the past few months, he's made decisions he never would've made before.
Hardy is leading Private Party on an expedition of gold, while he's also allowed Jon Moxley to defend his IWGP US Championship in NJPW. IMPACT Wrestling is like fantasy wrestling to Khan, and he's enjoying every second of it.
Backstage, ODB, Jazz, and Jordynne Grace were talking about ODB's return. Jazz hinted that 'many of us' were making returns these days. Who else would be coming to IMPACT Wrestling in the coming months?
Rohit Raju vs. TJP on IMPACT Wrestling
The IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion got the better of Rohit Raju early on, with TJP's speed being way too much for Raju to handle. A crucifix into an octopus stretch tied Raju up in the middle of the ring, but he was able to make it to the ropes.
All it took, though, was one clothesline to put Raju back on top. TJP tried to hit his Spider-Man cling in the ropes, but was sent to the floor with a dropkick. The Mocca Skin Manimal wore down TJP throughout the break, and a leaping flatliner planted TJP for a two-count.
A belly-to-back suplex planted TJP for another near fall. Eventually, the champ rocked Raju with a roaring elbow and spiked him with a tornado DDT. The Mamba Splash was next, but the former IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion rolled away. TJP ended up in the corner where a series of running strikes laid him out. Raju went up top, but was countered with some boots to the jaw.
TJP's Detonation Kick was countered, and TJP moved to the floor to go under the ring. Instead of appearing as Manik, though, he was dragged out by the returning Mahabali Shera as the ref was distracted by Raju. A chokeslam to the apron cracked TJP's back, and Raju laid him out with a running knee.
Results: Rohit Raju defeated TJP via pinfall on IMPACT Wrestling.
Grade: A-
With Mahabali Shera by his side, who can stop Rohit Raju? Will this be enough to get the X-Division Championship back?
Violent By Design sent a message to Cousin Jake. They don't offer their hands to just anyone, but knew that Jake was someone worth chasing.
Jake had two options; fight VBD by himself, or be baptized in the holy waters of change by Eric Young.
