IMPACT Wrestling Results (01/26/21)
Show Opening
We kick off the January 26, 2021 edition of IMPACT Wrestling as we enter the Skyway Studios Arena in Nashville, TN where D’Lo Brown and Matt Striker welcome fans to tonight's episode of Impact Wrestling! The entrance theme for the Impact World Champion Rich Swann sounds over the speakers in the arena as Swann begins making his way down to the ring.
In-Ring - IMPACT World Champion Rich Swann
Swann's entrance theme continues as he makes his way into the ring to kick off tonight's edition of IMPACT Wrestling on AXS TV! Swann begins by saying that his whole life, he wanted to become a pro wrestler. He knew at an early age he would become a World Champion. Now, that dream has paid off. He didn’t realize as the top champion he’d have many targets on his back. Swann puts over Tommy Dreamer and makes note of Dreamer's 50th birthday coming up.
Tommy Dreamer Comes OutSwann calls Tommy Dreamer out to the ring. Dreamer’s music hits. Dreamer tells officials to cut his music as he makes his appearance on the stage. As Dreamer makes his way into the ring, Swann informs the fans at home that on February 13, which happens to be No Surrender, he would like for them to square off for the title.
Sami Callihan Joins
Before Dreamer can answer, Sami Callihan makes his way out. He says although he lost his most recent match against Eddie Edwards at Hard To Kill, he was a former champion. So, why can’t he have the shot. Next, Chris Bey comes out and reiterates something similar. After, Moose makes an appearance. He’s out there to interject. Everyone has an opinion on this tonight!
Moose Comes Out
As Moose comes out, he informs Swann that he was promised the next title shot. Swann interrupts and states that Moose now needs to go off of his time. A brawl breaks out. Willie Mack runs out and helps Dreamer and Swann clean house. Bey, Callihan, and Moose make their way up to the ramp. The arena goes dark briefly, and Ken Shamrock is standing in the center of the ring! Moose and Shamrock have Swann and Mack cornered with double foot chokes.
The team of Callihan, Bey, Shamrock and Moose stand tall after laying the other four out in the ring.
