Impact Wrestling Rebellion 2021: 8 Predicted Matches Following Sacrifice
7. Open Challenge: Moose Vs. ???
Right, so, Moose. What's going on, pal?
Upon losing the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to Rich Swann at Sacrifice, 'Mr. Impact Wrestling' indicated that he would be taking time away from Impact Wrestling, before he was then seen at the company's recent set of television tapings. He's not going anywhere any time soon.
Thus, it's open challenge time, baby.
Arguably one of professional wrestling's greatest surprises when pulled off correctly, it feels like the only feasible way to slot Moose on to the Rebellion card. He's that cocky, even after losing the TNA title, that he doesn't need to know his opponent beforehand.
This is where the fun begins. Who would be a suitable name to place against Moose on such a stage?
A name from either All Elite Wrestling or New Japan Pro Wrestling seems most logical, given the current relationships between the sides. Moose vs. Lance Archer is a standout match in this writer's eyes. But what about a debuting name? Like a Chris Hero or a Mike Bailey?
Hero is yet to wrestle since being let go from WWE last April, whereas Bailey's travel ban from the United States ended recently, meaning he's good to go. Moose works exceptionally well against smaller opponents, as we've seen with Trey Miguel and Rich Swann; put him against 'Speedball', and you've got yourselves a banger.
