2 Ups & 3 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Jan 25)

1. Same Old, Same Old

Another week has gone by, and yet another offer has been made from Sami Callihan to Rich Swann in a bid to get Swann in oVe. Does Sami think Rich would've changed his mind by now?

To the surprise of no-one, he hasn't. There was the tiniest of developments here though, as Rich did consider joining this time around before giving his typical response. Despite the obvious answer every week, you do have to admire the determination of the oVe member. He's desperate to have Swann as a member of the group, despite the reigning X Division Champion actually being born in Maryland.

There's not a single person who can tell where this story is going right now. There's two obvious directions, with either Swann joining the group or a proper rivalry between he and Sami. The first of those wouldn't be ideal, given all that's happened recently. It would make the last few weeks completely pointless.

If another angle airs between the two sides on next week's episode, you can predict what the outcome will be - a simple no.
