A year ago at Rebellion 2019, Michael Elgin debuted for IMPACT Wrestling and made the claim that he'd be IMPACT World Champion. A year later, and he was set to reach his goal. However, Tessa Blanchard and Eddie Edwards tucked their tails and ran away.
Elgin said that there was only one fitting thing they could do tonight. He asked a referee to come to the ring. He then handed a mic to IMPACT Wrestling ring announcer David Penzer, demanding that he enter the ring to announce him as the new IMPACT World Champion.
As the ref raised his hand, Elgin waited to be crowned the new champion. However, the lights cut off, and we heard the music of none other than Moose. Moose was wearing the classic TNA World Heavyweight Championship, a belt that was brought back for the TNA Homecoming show that had been delayed.
The former Grand Champion said he understood Elgin's pain. However, if he was looking for a world champion, Moose considered himself the new TNA Champion.
Elgin wasn't a fan of his comedy act, and was someone who respected the history of those letters. It looked like we were setting up for a one-on-one bout for the belt, but they were cut off by one of the TNA legends, Hernandez.
Supermex included himself in the bout, leading to a Triple Threat for our main event.
