– As noted, Austin Aries returned to Impact at last night’s tapings and defeated Eli Drake for the Global Title. For those who missed it, Impact has spoiled the title change on social media and on their website. PWInsider reports that the title change is scheduled to air on the February 1st Impact episode.
Below is the official announcement from Impact and a tweet from Aries:
Tonight in Orlando, FL the man who invented Option C, the man who always finds himself with options, the man who people have been wondering where he would show up next, former 6x X-Division Champion and former World Champion Austin Aries returned to IMPACT!!!
Not only did Aries return, but he did so in a MAJOR WAY! Austin Aries came face to face with Global Champion Eli Drake and has completely flipped IMPACT upside down. Austin Aries was able to defeat Eli Drake and is now Global Champion! It will all happen on IMPACT in the coming weeks with immediate questions about the status of now Global Champion, Austin Aries.
Even those spewing their negative, tired old schtick are still taking their time and energy to talk about it…#ThursdayThoughts#TheTruth— Austin Aries (@AustinAries) January 11, 2018
– Former Impact Wrestling Grand Champion Moose reportedly suffered an injury at Wednesday’s Impact Wrestling television tapings in Orlando.
Moose was facing EC3, Alberto El Patron and Johnny Impact to determine the number one contender for the Impact Wrestling World Championship, when he apparently suffered a knee injury. Moose was helped to the back by “lots of guys.”
PWInsider reported that the belief is that Moose did not tear anything.
