Having recently departed AEW, Alan Angels made his IMPACT Wrestling debut this weekend.

For those who missed it, the Dark Order's V confirmed last week that he would be exiting AEW once his contract expired on 30 June. As such, the 24-year-old is now a free agent.

Taking place last night at Atlanta, Georgia's Center Stage Theatre, Angels - himself a Georgia native - squared off against X-Division Champion 'Speedball' Mike Bailey in a match taped for an upcoming episode of IMPACT television. Bailey successfully retained his title here, with both men then attacked post-match by Violent by Design's Cody Deaner and Joe Doering.
