Under Siege #1 Contenders Match Finalized on Impact Wrestling
Chris Bey, Matt Cardona, Sami Callihan, Chris Sabin, Trey Miguel, and Moose will compete in a six-way match at Impact Wrestling's next Impact Plus special, Under Seige, to determine the number one contender for Kenny Omega's Impact Championship. The lineup was decided in a series of qualifying matches ending on this week's episode of Impact Wrestling, where Sabin defeated Rhino, Trey Miguel beat Rohit Raju, and Moose defeated James Storm. The winner o the six-way match at Under Seige will go on to face AEW star Omega for the belt, which he won at Impact Rebellion from Rich Swann. If Moose walks away with the Under Seige victory, he might have a chance of taking down Omega. If not, the winner will likely be cannon fodder for the Belt Collector.
Also on Impact this week, Rachel Ellering made her singles debut on Impact, defeating Kiera Hogan with Jordynne Grace at ringside to cancel out the influence of Hogan's partner, Tasha Steelz. Steelz and Hogan will try to win back the Knockouts tag team championships from Grace and Ellering at Under Seige after losing them at Rebellion. The recently returned Taylor Wilde defeated Susan in further Knockouts action on Impact Wrestling this week as Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo attempts to avoid putting the belt on the line against the former champ.
New Japan Pro Wrestling star El Phantasmo defeated indie wrestling sensation VSK in a match on Impact last night, as the opening of the Forbidden Door continues to foster cross-pollination amongst the world's wrestling promotions. Speaking of NJPW stars, Juice Robinson lost to Doc Gallows in a singles match thanks to interference from Kenny Omega, Don Callis, and Karl Anderson. After the match, Eddie Edwards, who will team with FinJuice against the Good Brothers and Omega at Under Seige, tried and failed to prevent a post-match beatdown.
Backstage on Impact this week, Black Taurus shoved Brian Myers, setting up a match between the two for Under Seige, while W. Morrissey cut a promo in the ring setting up a match with Willie Mack at Under Seige. Meanwhile, Havok and Rosemary will face off in a number one contender's match next week, with the winner getting a shot at Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo at Under Siege.
Under Seige will air on Impact Plus for subscribers only on Saturday, May 15th. Impact airs weekly on Thursdays on AXS TV and Twitch.
