7 Ups & 2 Downs From Impact Wrestling (Oct 18)

5. Mind Games

There's a three way World Tag Team Championships match at Bound For Glory, so it only makes sense to have one half of each team collide on the go-home episode, with Josh Alexander, Rich Swann, and Rhino representing their teams with their respective partners at ringside cheering them on. If this was a sign of things to come during the actual titles match, then we're in for a treat.

This was a fairly average match for the most part, with each man getting in their offence, but things heated up towards the end. Rhino had nailed the Gore on Josh, only for Ethan Page to yank the referee out of the ring, blaming Willie Mack for it in the process. With 'The War Machine' distracted, Swann crawled back into the ring and nailed a 450 splash on Alexander for the win.

Even though things didn't exactly work out in favour of 'All Ego' despite his interference, he's now caused some tension between the two challenging teams. Rhino believes it was Willie Mack who prevented him from picking up the pin, which will almost certainly ensure he goes immediately after Mack and Swann come Bound For Glory, allowing The North to sit back and watch without having to lift a finger.

Quite the cunning plan from Ethan there. Unless of course, Rhino just goes on a rampage and destroys everything, which is the more likely option.
