5 most surprising IMPACT signings in 2020

#1 The Good Brothers doing great things for IMPACT

With their WWE release in April, everyone thought the Good Brothers were heading to AEW...but not so fast.

We wrap up the list with a tag team that should be no surprise to anyone, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson, the Good Brothers. One of the most decorated tag teams of the last decade has made IMPACT Wrestling their home.

Many expected Gallows and Anderson would end up in All Elite Wrestling in time for the company's debut episode of AEW Dynamite on TNT in October of 2019. However, in a surprise to many, Gallows and Anderson signed new long-term WWE contracts late in the summer of 2019 and chose to remain with the company and their good friend AJ Styles instead.

An even bigger surprise came for Gallows and Anderson in April of this year when they were among the talents released from their WWE contracts. Due to their recent deals signed the year prior, this release came as one of the most shocking that occurred on that day.

Almost immediately, the rumors of the Good Brothers heading to AEW sprang back to life. But when their 90 day non-compete clauses were up they put pen to paper with IMPACT Wrestling.

With crazy events following the signing, such the Talk N' Shop A Mania pay-per-view, and Talk N' Shop Full Keg that aired earlier this week on AXS TV as part of IMPACT Week, it's hard to argue that Gallows and Anderson didn't make the right decision. By the time this weekend is over, they could also be the IMPACT World Tag Team Champions. All things considered, it's a good time to be a Good Brother.
