10 Ups & 2 Downs From Impact Wrestling (23 Feb)

5. AEW Invades! (Well, Kind Of)

Tony Khan and Tony Schiavone's latest paid ad on Impact programming was a step in the right direction as it took a slightly different approach to what we typically see from them. Once again standing in TIAA Bank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Khan and Schiavone didn't come alone this time.

Instead, there were flanked by recent Impact stars Matt Hardy and Isiah Kassidy, alongside Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D, Rebel, Ryan Nemeth, Ricky Starks, and former Impact World Champion, Brian Cage.

Simply by having members of the AEW roster with them, this was already an Up. The remainder of the paid ad was more or less the same, with Schiavone running down the card for tonight's AEW Dynamite while Khan - and the AEW stars - took jabs at Impact Wrestling. Baker's mention of her Dynamite opponent Nyla Rose being less important than Impact Wrestling was a particular highlight for this writer.

Now, they just need to keep the AEW roster members changing each week to reflect the Dynamite card. It made for such a refreshing sight.
