They could easily film a teaser now and fit it in surely? 

They could edit in a vignette I guess, but if it was live they could have had a run in by somebody, or who knows what? I don't know how far in advance they tape. It must be a week or two as Kenny doesn't have his muttonstache at the moment.

Only see the title being switched if it’s caused by a AEW led distraction to further one of their stories 

I reckon they'll hold out until he loses the AEW title.

I haven't watched Impact or any pro wrestling for well over a month with the Euros taking all of my attention.

How's the show been? I feel that with the return of fans at Slammiversary it may be a good time to dip back in.

While Impact probably benefitted from the empty arena stuff early doors, I was sick of it by the turn of the year tbh.

[Jazzy G]

It's been fine, as it always it. There's been some decent matches, a few interesting angles started moving. Typical impact stuff. Slammiversary looks like it could be decent. 

[Vegeta]

Same as mentioned above they have been very consistent and decent shows and matches and angles going forward, i think they have a done a good job of building slammiversary, everything from the whole our world will change, to the x division match, to Deonna's surprise opponent (gutted i bought into the gail kim tease) and callahan and omega has a decent build too, genuinely looking forward to slammiversary 

[Jazzy G]

It's being reported that Moose has signed a new 2 year deal with Impact. This is good. 

[garynysmon]

Seems that Impact and the NWA are friends again. Probably for the best that the triangle is complete if both are working with AEW anyway.

That said, I'd have told Billy Corgan to fuck off after doing nothing but go out of his way to slate Impact over the past two years.

[Vegeta]

I'm looking forward to it tonight 

What's everyone's predictions and who does everyone think may be showing up? 

 

I think omega for the win 

Alexander winning 

Moose winning 

Deonna winning but I'm absolutely clueless who will face her, would be nice being Britt baker

VBD keeping the belts hopefully with doering getting the win 

Havoc and rosemary winning the women's tag 

W Morrissey winning 

Cardona and the mystery I think will be Chelsea green and they will win I think 

I have no idea who may show up as per their the world is changing ads but I'm sure they will add to an already entertaining roster

[The King Of Swing]

Fuck it I just stumped up for the PPV. 

Looks like a good card. 

[sivy]

Build has been good. Making Sami a legit contender, I think omega retains. I think Mickie is the mystery person in the women's match. Makes sense if their Talkin with NWA again.

Chelsea Green seems the obvious choice. 

I'm more curious about the mystery challenger to Purazzo. I was thinking Mickey James with Purazzo winning. 

I think Alexander could lose and then he could be put in a higher level singles feud.

Spoiler

Was there not a fuss made on one of the aew YouTube shows re jade cargil can now go other places? 

 

[RIDDUM_N_STYLE]

Chelsea's injured again so won't be her as Cardona's partner and TJP is out the tag title match so Fallah is either going it alone or he'll have a surprise partner

[Jazzy G]

That's a shame about TJP. Maybe they'll go triple threat tag instead?
