Young has looked like a real threat after retiring Rich Swann. Edwards has looked like a champion for the brand putting the title on the line every week. I feel like the open challenge every week puts less emphasis on the feud between Edwards and Young, since the focus moves to a different challenger each week.<\/p>\n<p>Start of Feud: July 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Forecast &amp; Prediction: Edwards has an open challenge set for Night Two of Emergence. This would be a great opportunity for Young to challenge, only to somehow be thwarted by Rich Swann.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) EC3 vs. Moose<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Developments: Moose defended his TNA World Title against Trey Miguel and looked great throughout the match. He looked strong and was in a completely different class than Miguel. EC3 showed up and attacked Moose after the match walked out with the TNA World Title.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: EC3 continues to post great videos building up his return. \u201cDestroying his past is a great\u201d hook to get him back into Impact, as it conveys that he has more control over his character and how he wants to be portrayed this time around. Moose continues to be booked strong, making the build-up to this match even better.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-136828113\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Start of Feud: July 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Forecast &amp; Prediction: The build-up to seeing the new-look EC3 back in the ring has been great. With EC3 now in possession of the TNA World Title, this either leads to EC3 destroying the belt or, more likely, a title match between the two.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>SECOND TIER FEUDS<\/h3>\n<p><strong>(1) Motor City Machine Guns vs. The North<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Developments: This was the main event and best match of Night One of Emergence. The Motor City Machine Guns retained in a hard-hitting match that really showcased what both teams are capable of.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: The North\u2019s intensity and desire to get the titles back is great. I wish Motor City showed a bit more fire and a sense of deserving to be shot to the top right away after being gone for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Start of Feud: July 21, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Forecast &amp; Prediction: Both teams will move on to new challengers at this point. The Good Brothers are probably the best bet to take on one of these great teams.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson &amp; Luke Gallows) vs. Ace Austin &amp; Madman Fulton<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-174200289\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>New Developments: The Good Brothers got the clean win at Emergence, which seems like it could be the end of the feud between these two teams.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: Being confronted and having Gallows arrested in the parking lot seemed to be a bizarre choice that was quickly dismissed the next week on tv. The Good Brothers have looked great and carry themselves like a big deal on Impact. Their match at Emergence was pretty good and allowed the Good Brothers (especially Anderson) to fight as babyfaces who needed to make the hot tags and comebacks throughout the match.<\/p>\n<p>Start of Feud: July 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Forecast &amp; Prediction: I don\u2019t know what more these two teams would have to gain from continuing to fight one another. I think both teams would be best served moving on. This was a really good first feud for the Good Brothers as they enter the Impact Tag Team scene.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(3) Chris Bey vs. Rohit Raju vs. TJP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Developments: Rohit won the triple threat match in what was essentially a 2-on-1 match against TJP. Rohit convincing Bey to get into the match, only to get the pin on Bey was a good move to build a new feud in the X Division.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: TJP looked great throughout the triple threat match with great moves and creative double submissions. Rohit also looked strong and aggressive and knew when to take his shot to win the title. I wish Bey had looked stronger, but he could say that he held back since Rohit was supposed to be helping him out.<\/p>\n<p>Start of Feud: August 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Forecast &amp; Prediction: We\u2019ll see a match between Bey and Rohit when Bey cashes in his rematch clause. TJP looked so good. Even though he says he\u2019s committed to being in the tag division with Fallah Bahh, it\u2019d be a shame not to see him showcased in a one-on-one match against either one of these two.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>LOWER-CARD FEUDS<\/h3>\n<p><strong>(1) Deonna Purrazzo vs. Jordynne Grace<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Developments: These two women weren\u2019t seen during Night One of Emergence.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: Purrazzo\u2019s challenge to Grace was intense and really built excitement to see the Iron Man Match.<\/p>\n<p>Start of Feud: July 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Forecast &amp; Prediction: The Iron Man Match is set for Emergence. I would expect Deonna to be kept strong until she ultimately has her match with Kylie Rae \u2013 once she\u2019s released from Wrestle House.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) Sami Callihan vs. RVD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Developments: Neither one of these guys was seen at Night One of Emergence.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: This has been a feud of cringe-worthy segments that feel completely separate from everything else on Impact. Forbes is good at generating heat with RVD, but it just feels like this is all just<\/p>\n<p>Start of Feud: July 28, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Forecast &amp; Predictions: This feud doesn\u2019t seem worthy of putting on either one of the Emergence nights, so hopefully this is dealt with quickly in a couple weeks and everyone can move on and forget this ever happened.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(3) Willie Mack vs. Brian Myers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New Developments: Myers hijacked Willie Mack\u2019s interview to complain about how he\u2019s been booked throughout his career. Mack eventually came in an attacked Myers.<\/p>\n<p>Highs &amp; Lows: Former WWE wrestlers coming in complaining about how they were booked is a very tired gimmick. Myers being the most recent Impact debut of the half dozen recently released WWE complaining is already exhausting.<\/p>\n<p>Start of Feud: August 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p>Forecast &amp; Prediction: These two are scheduled to fight next week at Emergence Night Two. It\u2019ll be a good match, but I hope Myers can find something else for his character other than the most recent disgruntled former WWE guy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/08\/19\/impact-hits-misses-8-18-emergence-night-one-with-machine-guns-vs-the-north-for-tag-titles-wrestle-housemoose-vs-miguel-bey-vs-tjp-vs-raju-for-x-title\/\">IMPACT HITS &amp; MISSES 8\/18: \u201cEmergence: Night One\u201d with Machine Guns vs. The North for tag titles, Wrestle House,Moose vs. Miguel, Bey vs. TJP vs. Raju for X Title<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2416730712\"><div id=\"pwtor-3769451462\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>TOP TIER FEUDS (1) Eddie Edwards vs. Eric Young New Developments: Edwards and Young were not on Night One of Emergence, but Edwards is set to defend the Impact Title next week in the open <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/08\/20\/feud-tracker-impact-wrestling-tracking-the-length-and-key-developments-with-eddie-edwards-vs-eric-young-ec3-vs-moose-the-north-vs-machine-gunns-rvd-vs-callihan\/\" title=\"FEUD TRACKER &#8211; IMPACT WRESTLING: Tracking the length and key developments with Eddie Edwards vs. Eric Young, EC3 vs. Moose, The North vs. Machine Gunns, RVD vs. Callihan\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":103021,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,6447,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-103020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opnionandanalysis","category-feud-tracker","category-specialists"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/08\/Screen-Shot-2020-08-20-at-12.58.17-AM.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103020","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103020"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103020\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":103022,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103020\/revisions\/103022"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103020"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103020"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103020"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
