7 Ups & 5 Downs From IMPACT Wrestling Under Siege 2021
Moose marks his spot, Swann comes for Morrissey, Alexander fells Phantasmo.
IMPACT Wrestling's monthly IMPACT Plus specials have largely succeeded since they came back in October. Under Siege topped the cake, though.
A middling opening half hour that was followed by a boiling middle of the show was then topped off with a class ending that sets the company up perfectly en-route to both Against All Odds on 12 June, and Slammiversary on 17 July. The main event of that 12 June show is confirmed, with Moose challenging Kenny Omega for the World Championship in what could be the challenger's final stint in the Anthem-helmed promotion. What a way to go out.
Before then, though, there's a few IMPACT AXS TV episodes to get through. A title match has already been set for this week's (20 May) episode, as Ace Austin and Madman Fulton challenge FinJuice for the World Tag Team Championships following their four-team bout victory. That match was great; Austin and Fulton vs. David Finlay and Juice Robinson is going to be a whole lot better.
Elsewhere, Deonna Purrazzo and Josh Alexander retained their titles in good title outings vs. Havok and El Phantasmo, respectively, Eddie Edwards and FinJuice were victorious over Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers, and Rich Swann returned to IMPACT to tangle with W. Morrissey.
