Self-appointed TNA World Heavyweight Champion Moose surprisingly lost the three-minute challenge match against the up-and-comer Matthew Palmer on IMPACT Wrestling. Well, he didn't exactly lose the bout as the rules suggest that if he's unable to defeat his opponent in three minutes, he automatically loses.

However, right from the start of the match, Moose was in total control and on course to defeat his opponent until Willie Mack made his way onto the entrance ramp. This distracted Moose, as he shared a staredown with Mack, all while the time ran out.

The two would now be colliding in an 'I Quit' match at IMPACT Wrestling: Genesis on January 9, 2021. In their previous encounter at Turning Point, Mack had come up victorious in an unsanctioned match, albeit via disqualification.

The match promises to be a brutal and physical encounter with ample usage of weapons, considering the stipulation. It would also, in all probability, would be the feud-ender clash between the two heavyweights.
