IMPACT Wrestling's Under Siege was quite a hit despite the fact that their top title in the hands of a wrestler from another promotion. But the company did manage to crown a new #1 contender for Kenny Omega's IMPACT World title at the event.

This week's IMPACT Wrestling will have all the fallout from Under Siege. Few matches have already been announced for this week's IMPACT, including a Tag Team Title match.

With the company's next major event, Against All Odds, on June 12th, it remains to be seen how the company will build to the pay-per-view. This week's show could potentially have important storyline developments and matches that lead into Against All Odds.


#5 Who will challenge Josh Alexander for his Impact X-Division title at Against All Odds?

At Under Siege, Josh Alexander successfully defended his X-Division title against IMPACT's newest acquisition El Phantasmo. Both wrestlers delivered an outstanding match.

Despite the outcome not being in favor of El Phantasmo, he did manage to prove that he is here to stay. Josh Alexander ended the match by making El Phantasmo tap out to his ankle lock.

It remains to be seen who will step up to Josh Alexander's X-Division title next. El Phantasmo could possibly come out tonight to demand a rematch against Alexander at Against All Odds.

There's also a chance that a no.1 contender match for the X-Divison title could be announced. IMPACT must build up their X-Divison title scene until they get back their World title.

This is also Josh Alexander's first reign as X-Divison champion. It's only been a month since he won the title so IMPACT must focus towards elevating his character.

He should have a major feud with the likes of Sami Callihan or Eddie Edwards to make his mark on IMPACT Wrestling, and elevate the X-Division.

There's also a possibility that Josh Alexander could take a small hiatus from IMPACT Wrestling and defend the title in Japan. There are endless possibilities for him but we could find out more tonight.

#4 W. Morrissey to enter into a feud with Rich Swann on IMPACT Wrestling

At IMPACT Wrestling's Under Siege, W. Morrisey won his big singles debut by defeating Willie Mack in a battle of two behemoths. The former WWE superstar pinned Mack with an unprotected boot to the back of his head.

The win wasn't sufficient for W. Morrisey as he attacked Mack after the match. He was about to bring in a chair, however, Rich Swann made his return to save Mack from a vicious beat down.

Based on what happened last week, IMPACT Wrestling seems to be moving towards Rich Swann vs W. Morrisey at Against All Odds. This could be the perfect mid-card match the company could book right now.

W. Morrisey made his IMPACT Wrestling debut last month and he needs to showcase his character before moving to the top. Meanwhile, Rich Swann recently lost his IMPACT world title to Kenny Omega at Rebillion. The former IMPACT World Champion needs a strong feud right now.

So for the company to have Rich Swann face W. Morrisey could be a win-win situation for both parties. It remains to be seen how IMPACT builds up to this feud starting on tonight's show.

#3 FinJuice will defend their IMPACT World Tag Team Titles against Ace Austin and Madman Fulton

This will be the most intriguing contest on tonight's episode of IMPACT Wrestling. Austin and Fulton gained momentum at Under Siege as they emerged victorious in a four-way tag team match involving XXXL, Rohit Raju and Mahabali Shera, and TJP and Petey Williams.

The win for Austin and Fulton meant they became the No.1 Contenders for IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions FinJuice.

David Finlay and Juice Robinson also had a huge victory last week, as they teamed up with Eddie Edwards to defeat Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers.

With both teams having immense momentum heading into tonight's match, it remains to be seen which team will walk out victorious with gold around their waist.

Given that the Champions have been on a roll, it looks unlikely that a title change will happen as soon as tonight on IMPACT Wrestling.

They have held onto their IMPACT tag team titles for over two months and will look to continue their dominant run, heading into Against All Odds.

#2 Tennile Dashwood will lock horns with Kiera Hogan on IMPACT Wrestling

IMPACT Wrestling star Tennile Dashwood will go up against one half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions Kiera Hogan tonight.

Hogan and Steelz recently defeated Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering to win back their IMPACT Knockouts Tag team titles at Under Siege.

Tennile Dashwood's career hasn't really kicked off the way everyone anticipated. A woman of her caliber should have been Knockouts Champion by now. However, she could now be looking to make her mark on the Tag Team division by defeating Hogan.

A win over one-half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champions could mean that Dashwood and Taylor Wilde could challenge for the Knockouts Tag team titles somewhere down the line. Taylor Wilde is also in contention to face Deonna Purrazozo for her knockout Championship.

The outcome of tonight's match will decide which direction these women could go next. It will be an interesting match and both women will look to gain momentum ahead of Against All Odds, which is scheduled to take place on June 12th.

#1 Will Moose confront Kenny Omega tonight on IMPACT Wrestling?

It's official! IMPACT Wrestling will have the opportunity to bring back their top title next month when Moose will face Kenny Omega for the IMPACT World Championship at Against All Odds on June 12th.

Last week on IMPACT Wrestling's Under Siege, Moose defeated 5 other men - Sami Callihan, Matt Cardona, Chris Bey, Chris Sabin and Trey Miguel - to become #1 contender for Kenny Omega's IMPACT World championship.

This is surely going to be the main event of the show next month, and promises to steal the show. However, it remains to be seen how IMPACT Wrestling will start building up this feud.

Tonight on Impact Wrestling, Moose could come face to face with Kenny Omega to hype up their match. The former NFL star may send Omega a bold message tonight.

The feud will likely build around Moose's claim to bring back his promotion's top title. Moose is a former grand slam champion, and a victory over Omega next month will solidify his position at the top of IMPACT Wrestling.
