Josh Mathews keeps saying that Impact Wrestling separates itself from every other promotion because of the simple fact that they make movies. This week's segment in which Rich Swann went all the way to Dayton to confront Sami Callihan was a great reminder of just how much Impact Wrestling excels at this space.
Things got very real when Rich Swann confronted a locker door that Sami Callihan had locked himself behind. Through the door, Swann spoke of his past and the history he shares with Callihan, while the latter ignored his pleas to open the door.

It is great to see that wrestling can get real at times and strike an emotional chord when it needs to. Kudos to the Impact Wrestling creative team for adopting such a fresh approach.
Rich Swann and Sami Callihan now have a lot more at stake when they clash at Rebellion.
