3 Ups & 4 Downs From Last Night's Impact Wrestling (May 3)

Ups...

4. Ace On Fire

As was expected judging by what's happened over the last few weeks, it appears as if Ace Austin is indeed in a full-blown rivalry with Petey Williams. They were both part of a six way contest at Rebellion that Ace came out on top in with a cheeky rollup, followed by a decisive victory over the X Division pioneer on this week's episode. Ace is on a roll.

When he first arrived, there wasn't really that much space to fit another X Division guy on the show and feature him in a prominent role. Luckily, Impact have found the space to promote Ace Austin in such a role, and are having him pick up victories over legends of the division. It looks like he could be next in line for an opportunity at Rich Swann and the X Division Championship, especially if he continues on the impressive streak he's on just now.

Right now, Ace isn't exactly lighting the world on fire. You don't hear people throwing his name around when the topic of future stars comes up. He has all the potential to be in that category though and very soon, everyone will be tuning into the fold.
