ROLL CALL OF CURRENT CHAMPIONS

Impact World Champion: Rich Swann
Rich Swann felt disrespected by AEW's Kenny Omega, who waltzed into Swann's territory and proclaimed to be the REAL World Champion. They were involved in a six-man tag, and Omega pinned Swann. What does this mean?!?!? Oh, and Moose is the number one contender, having been awarded it by Swann in exchange for not Pillmanizing his good friend Willie Mack.

Impact World Tag Team Champions: The Good Brothers
Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson have revealed their true colors, allying themselves with Kenny Omega. You may have seen the three of them win a match this week. The Motor City Machine Guns are obvious challengers, although Alex Shelly couldn't make it to Hard to Kill due to unspecified circumstances.

Impact X-Division Champion: Manik
Manik is TJP under a mask/face paint. After defending the X-Division Championship against both Rohit Raju and Chris Bey, Super X-Cup winner Ace Austin waits in the wings.

Impact Knockouts Champion: Deonna Purrazzo
The best wrestler signed to Impact Wrestling continues to wrestle good. With Taya Valkyrie submitted, my best guess is a feud with Rosemary, or possibly "Susan".

Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champions: Fire and Flava
As I had predicted the moment these titles were announced to come back, the team of Kiera Hogan and Tasha Steelz are the re-inaugural champions. There are plenty of women who could challenge them, including some that haven't signed with Impact Wrestling yet.

NEXT PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT: REBELLION
April 24th, presumably at Skyway Studios due to COVID-19 still being a thing.

Alex Shelly revealed his circumstances for why he's been out, and it's because he's waiting to get vaccinated. Fair enough.

I mean, this match. Look at this match. It appeals to me on a level that I never thought possible.

The three-hour Raw would be massively improved if it was like the three-hour Nitro, and featured their Cruiserweights exclusively.

On topic, the Triple Threat Revolver match is probably the best new match invention that doesn’t involve physical objects in the longest time.

So now we have an idea of what the plan for Sammy Guevara was:

f4wonline.com posted:

Following his on-screen departure from the Inner Circle on Dynamite, the AEW standout arrived in Nashville, TN, to work the February 9-11 Impact tapings as part of the angle. However, he didn't like the creative plan and after making some suggestions that were turned down, he was told he wasn't needed.

One story Meltzer could not confirm was that Guevara was set to be part of a six man tag on next week's show where the winning team would move on to a three way match for an X-Division title shot. He was set to team with Ace Austin and Chris Bey against Willie Mack, Josh Alexander and Trey Miguel. Austin and Bey will team with Black Taurus instead.

Guevara reportedly suggested winning the X-Division title before returning to AEW with it. He would never lose the title and it would then be stripped at some point and put up for grabs in a tournament.

Meltzer did confirm that Guevara was going to win three matches at the tapings, adding that Chris Jericho and Don Callis came up with the initial angle and whatever happened made them look bad. Guevara was only scheduled for that set of tapings.

It would make Impact Wrestling look bad if they book it so a guy comes in, wins a title, and never shows up again.

Is Kenny seriously gonna win the Impact world title? Why the gently caress would Impact do that?

If Omega wins the Impact title, he would have to drop the title to someone in Impact Wrestling down the line. That guy's going to have the biggest rub in the promotion's history, probably.

I don't know if Kenny Omega NEEDS to beat Rich Swann. I think there are more stories to tell with AEW guys coming to Impact to take back their title than vice-versa, personally.
