It was announced during last night’s show that The Impact World Title will be on the line on next week’s episode of Impact Wrestling as Austin Aries defends his Impact World Title against Eddie Edwards.
On last night’s show, Aries and Anthony Carelli (aka Santino Marella) had a physical confrontation in the middle of the ring after Aries locked the Last Chancery on Dustin Cameron, a student at Carelli’s wrestling school in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Aries tried to provoke Carelli into punching him, but Carelli struck him in the groin instead. Moments later, Edwards assaulted Aries with a kendo stick, as seen in the above below:
This is a follow-up from last week’s episode, where Edwards answered Aries’ Impact World Title challenge to any wrestler in any promotion by coming out to the ring and striking Aries with a kendo stick.
