Lows: <\/strong>\u00a0Alisha probably had to be involved to get Dreamer involved in the feud this week, but this could have been just as effective by just allowing Young cut a heel champion promo without interference in his first show as champion.\u00a0 Alisha was rough on the mic and peaked the levels during much of her promo.\u00a0 Dreamer was decent on the mic and had a decent enough reason to defend Alisha.\u00a0 Swann showed a lot of heart and intensity in saving Dreamer from Young\u2019s attacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>July 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>Edwards will still get a rematch at some point, but I expect Young to defend in the rematch as it looks like this feud will transition directly to being between Eric Young and Rich Swann as we get closer to Bound for Glory.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) EC3 vs. Moose<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Moose was shown boarding a plane that took off to an unknown location.\u00a0 Later in the show he apparently made it to his old high school and went to his high school football coach\u2019s office.\u00a0 Apparantly some sort of brain washing took place before Moose got to the office because his coach flipped a switch and told Moose to control his narrative after having claimed not to have seen EC3.\u00a0 Moose was then jumped by three guys who were wearing EC3\u2019s black hoodie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>Moose and EC3 have mostly been great these last few months.\u00a0 The \u201ccontrol your narrative\u201d message is really good for the history of both EC3 and Moose.\u00a0 EC3\u2019s videos have been the highlight of Impact since he made his return and it has been fun to watch Moose react to the things that EC3 throws at him.\u00a0 The brainwashed football coach was a weird turn, so I guess EC3 has supernatural powers now.\u00a0 It\u2019ll be interesting to see how they move forward with these new developments.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1502373716\" 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><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>July 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0 After this week I really don\u2019t know what to predict.\u00a0 This has taken a really weird turn, but this is probably the thing I\u2019m enjoying most about Impact right now.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>MIDDLE TIER FEUDS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(1) Deonna Purrazzo vs. Kylie Rae<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Kylie Rae and Susie were on Locker Room Talk where Kylie was asked if she went to Wrestle House in order to avoid facing Purrazzo.\u00a0 Purrazzo and Kimber Lee interrupted the segment and challenged Kylie and Susie to a tag match next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows:<\/strong>\u00a0 After last week\u2019s chaotic shake up of the Knockouts Division, this was much more focused and really helped build up Kylie Rae\u2019s character.\u00a0 She continues to be completely genuinely sweet and likable, and this segment helped reestablish these characteristics just in case anyone completely skipped Wrestle House and forgot who she was.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>September 1, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>The tag match next week will be good to help move this feud along.\u00a0 It seems like Kylie has the upper hand so far in the feud, so I expect Purrazzo and Kimber to get the win in this first encounter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) Motor City Machine Guns vs. Rascalz (Dez &amp; Wentz) <\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2080536489\" 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<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments: <\/strong>After being issuing a challenge last week, the Motor City Machine Guns took on Dez and Wentz for the Impact Tag Team Titles.\u00a0 The Guns looked strong, focusing on Wentz\u2019s knee throughout the match and picked up the win after dominating most of the match.\u00a0 After the match nearly every tag team came to the ring.\u00a0 The North attacked Motor City Machine Guns, and then Ace Austin and Madman Fulton attacked the Guns.\u00a0 Then the Good Brothers came out to help the Guns and the Rascalz did some dives out to the heel teams.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows:\u00a0 <\/strong>The Guns looked strong and played the heel role in this match, cutting off the ring and focusing their attacks on Wentz\u2019s knee. \u00a0The post-match angle didn\u2019t really do anything to show who would be feuding with who moving forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud:\u00a0 <\/strong>July 18, 2020 (First match)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>An 8-Man Tag Match is set for next week with The Rascalz and Motor City Machine Guns taking on The North and Ace &amp; Madman Fulton.\u00a0 This match should help shape how the tag team hierarchy will look as we move toward Bound for Glory.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(3) Rohit Raju vs. TJP vs. Chris Bey<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments: <\/strong>TJP and Chris went one-on-one in a pretty good match to help determine the presumptive number one contender for the X-Division Championship.\u00a0 Bey was able to show off hard-hitting offense, but TJP was able to secure a win with a roll up pin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>After losing in the Triple Threat I was worried that Bey would be left behind quickly, but the match between Bey and TJP kept Bey strong.\u00a0 Even though TJP won via roll up, it fit the offense that TJP favored in the match by keeping to TJP capabilities to tie-up Bey and create unique offensive or defensive situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>August 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>I think Rohit will continue to dangle the carrot in front of TJP to continue to delay the X Division title defense.\u00a0 The commentators were sure to note that Rohit seemed to welcome all challengers but doubted the sincerity behind that offer.\u00a0 We could see another match between Bey and TJP where TJP is forced to get a more decisive victory to get the title shot.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>LOWER TIER FEUDS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(1) Sami Callihan vs. RVD<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>RVD and Katie Forbes cut a promo promoting the fact that they have a new segment premiering next week on Impact \u2013 The Whole F\u2019n Talk Show.\u00a0 Sami then had a segment talking about numbers and how Forbes had his number.\u00a0 He promised not to hack their new segment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows:<\/strong>\u00a0 Evidently this is going to keep going forward in some form.\u00a0 Their first match wasn\u2019t great and I\u2019m not really looking forward to seeing another one, especially after what I\u2019m assuming are going to be more cringe-worthy segments featuring these three.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>July 28, 2020<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Predictions: <\/strong>Sami will probably interfere with RVD\u2019s segment by tormenting Forbes.\u00a0 This will probably lead to a few more weeks of backstage attacks and promos before we can finally finish this feud.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) Willie Mack vs. Brian Myers<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Myers cut a promo in the ring touting (and embellishing) his accomplishments and invited Mack out to shake his hand.\u00a0 Mack told Myers that Impact management saw what happened and that he was granted a rematch \u2013 right now!\u00a0 Despite his complaints, Myers got the win after dominating most of the match and getting a late eye rake and low blow.\u00a0 Another rematch is scheduled for next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows:<\/strong> The cheating \u201cMost Professional Wrestler\u201d is a fun gimmick and Myers does a good job pulling it off.\u00a0 I do wonder how long he can keep cheating before babyfaces start to look really dumb not anticipating Myers\u2019s cheating.\u00a0 Failing to capitalize on the surprise match and being caught again by Myers\u2019s cheating really made Mack look really bad.\u00a0 Even though Mack tried to surprise Myers with the match, Mack looked relatively weak throughout most of the match.\u00a0 Even though there\u2019s another rematching coming next week, I can\u2019t help but feel as though these two should just move on.\u00a0 If Myers can cheat and win for a third time against Mack, it will really damage his character.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>August 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0 We\u2019re getting another rematch next week, but Myers should continue to build his gimmick and build his character, so I will expect him to try to cheat and win for the third time next week.\u00a0 I\u2019d like to see him get away with the win yet again, but expect him to get caught and DQ\u2019ed, which could allow for some good heelish complaining.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(3) Rhino &amp; Heath vs. Reno Scum<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Rhino and Heath were shown outside the arena and Rhino said that Heath\u2019s actions upset management.\u00a0 Heath said that he needed to run more ads but needed.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>Heath had a cool appearance last week in Rhino\u2019s match, but this week\u2019s segment didn\u2019t do much to build excitement for Heath\u2019s \u201cofficial\u201d return.\u00a0 They can\u2019t seem to avoid continuing to relive old WWE storylines, so instead of building something new, they are trying to run off of ideas that didn\u2019t fully work 5 years ago.\u00a0 Take a chance and try something new.\u00a0 Heath has kids and needs money.\u00a0 We get it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>August 25, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>With Heath needing money, he and Rhino will probably go after Hernandez\u2019s wad of cash next week.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(4) Jordynne Grace vs. Tenille Dashwood<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Jordynne was interviewed backstage and brought up the fact that Tenille called out Purrazzo after being absent from Impact for so long.\u00a0 Jordynne then tried to get the interview to move to find Tenille and walked toward her locker room only to find that she wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0 Photo stills then showed and said that Tenille would be on Impact next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>Not much to really see from this feud yet.\u00a0 Jordynne was good in the backstage interview and proving that Tenille wasn\u2019t actually at the show builds on Jordynne\u2019s frustration at Tenille\u2019s long absence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud:<\/strong> September 1, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>I\u2019d expect a few more weeks of interviews and promos before we eventually get to a match between these two.\u00a0 Tenille coming back next week can help build her case as to why she should be at the top of the division after being gone for so long.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) Tasha Steelz vs. Taya Valkyrie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Tasha and Kiera Hogan talked to John E. Bravo backstage and told him to be his own man relating to the wedding planning.\u00a0 Taya caught up with them later in the show and told the two women not to interfere in her wedding and challenged Tasha to a match.\u00a0 Taya got the win but was briefly attacked by Kiera and Tasha after the match before Bravo broke it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>Taya and Bravo\u2019s wedding is a poorly executed attempt at comedy coming out of Wrestle House and I feel like anyone who gets involved with these two regarding the wedding is going to become just a little more damaged as this moves forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud:<\/strong> September 8, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>Kiera is set to take on Taya next week and I expect Taya to pick up the win again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>CONCLUDED, FORGOTTEN, OR DORMANT FEUDS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li>Rascalz vs. Ace Austin &amp; Madman Fulton \u2013 CONCLUDED<\/li>\n<li>Eric Young vs. Rich Swann \u2013 DORMANT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/09\/09\/9-8-impact-wrestling-tv-report-eric-young-vs-tommy-dreamer-machine-guns-vs-rascalz-valkyrie-vs-steelz-willie-mack-vs-brian-meyers-more\/\">9\/8 IMPACT WRESTLING TV REPORT: Eric Young vs. Tommy Dreamer, Machine Guns vs. Rascalz, Valkyrie vs. Steelz, Willie Mack vs. Brian Meyers, more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1200936731\"><div id=\"pwtor-3412540425\"><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: Young opened the show and talked about Rich Swann pinning him at Slammiversary set everything in motion from Young retiring Swann to defeating and <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/09\/10\/feud-tracker-impact-wrestling-tracking-the-length-and-key-developments-with-edwards-vs-young-ec3-vs-moose-purrazzo-vs-kylie-ray-rascalz-vs-machine-guns-more\/\" title=\"FEUD TRACKER \u2013 IMPACT WRESTLING: Tracking the length and key developments with Edwards vs. Young, EC3 vs. Moose, Purrazzo vs. Kylie Ray, Rascalz vs. Machine Guns, more\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":103418,"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-104273","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-2020-08-26-at-6.31.11-PM.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104273","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=104273"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104276,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104273\/revisions\/104276"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
