5 Ups & 2 Downs From This Week's Impact Wrestling (Mar 8)

1. Callihan Gets His Wish

Hallelujah!

Something really intriguing has finally happened with the Sami Callihan/Rich Swann rivalry. After Sami repeatedly asked Rich to join oVe, the X Division Champion finally gave in this week and joined the faction, only to turn on them and reveal it to all be a ruse. Although it was technically another week of Swann being asked to become the fourth member with the same outcome, they went about it a different way which has to be commended.

How ecstatic do you think Callihan was when he saw Swann standing there in an oVe shirt? From being on top of the world to having his heart broken, all within a matter of minutes. It's what Sami deserves: Repeating the same question week in and week out for over two months isn't the best way to go about things.

Seeing as Rich has now both verbally and physically rejected Sami's offers, this just has to be the end of Callihan's attempts to get the champ in the ranks of the group. On the bright side, this surely has to be leading to a match between the duo now (possibly at the Rebellion pay-per-view), which is sure to be a cracking contest.
