Lows: <\/strong>\u00a0Swann was great in his promo asking for the title shot, he seemed to speak from the heart and really wants to get revenge against Young.\u00a0 It seems a bit unrealistic that Swann went from retiring last month to challenging for the Impact World Title next month, when this could have just been an injury angle.\u00a0 If Impact wanted to keep the illusion that Swann really had to retire due to the injuries sustained from Young\u2019s attack, Swann should have been out of action for more than two months.\u00a0 Swann is also jumping ahead of what should be Edwards\u2019s rematch, so maybe that could play into an angle in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>July 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>Young vs. Swann will take place at Bound for Glory.\u00a0 Edwards seems to have been forgotten quickly, but maybe he will get a blow off rematch against Young before the PPV.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) EC3 vs. Moose<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Moose confronted Scott D\u2019Amore backstage and started frantically ranting about EC3 stealing his title, taking pictures of him in the gym, and brainwashing his high school football coach.\u00a0 D\u2019Amore said that this might all be in Moose\u2019s head, which seemed to resonate with Moose.\u00a0 As Moose walked away another EC3 video played.\u00a0 EC3 said that as more time passes, the closer he gets to destroying the TNA title.\u00a0 EC3 called the \u201cDemo God\u201d and asked for advice on how to deal with a stolen title belt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>These segments have been the best things on Impact over the last few months.\u00a0 Moose has been great in his role and has become more of a sympathetic character who is feels threatened by a guy who seems to always be one step ahead of him.\u00a0 EC3 has been great in the videos as well.\u00a0 The brainwashing last week was a weird turn, but this week\u2019s segment got me hooked again.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3548417079\" 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 It\u2019s not a bold prediction to say that these two will finally face off in the ring at Bound for Glory.\u00a0 That being said, I have no idea what happens between now and then, but I\u2019m excited to see what will happen.<\/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 took on Deonna and Kimber Lee in a good opening tag match.\u00a0 Susie took a lot of punishment from Deonna and Kimber Lee throughout the match until Kylie got the hot tag.\u00a0 This match did a great job of showing how dominant Deonna and Kimber Lee can be together and showcased Kylie and Susie\u2019s friendship.\u00a0 Susie showed some signs of transitioning back to her Su Yung character, so we\u2019ll see how that develops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows:<\/strong>\u00a0 Kylie Rae showed a lot of intensity when she had a chance to be in the ring during the tag match, indicating that she will be a good challenger for Deonna when the one-on-one match finally arrives.\u00a0 Kylie and Deonna didn\u2019t get much in the ring together which helps to build anticipation toward that match.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>September 1, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>This build has been pretty solid, but I would expect to see a mix of one-on-one matches with Kylie Rae or Susie taking on Deonna or Kimber Lee.\u00a0 We will see Susie vs. Kimber Lee next week.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(2) Motor City Machine Guns \/ The Good Brothers \/ Ace Austin &amp; Madman Fulton \/ The North \/ Rascalz (Dez &amp; Wentz)<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3700431084\" 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>Dez and Wentz were attacked backstage, which removed them for the 8-man tag match.\u00a0 The Guns were talking as if they expected to take the other two teams on by themselves when the Good Brothers offered to be their partners for the main event.\u00a0 The 8-man tag was alright and solidified the idea that each of these four teams were working individually and had their own interests in mind.\u00a0 Ace Austin got the pin after stealing a tag from the North.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows:\u00a0 <\/strong>There are five good teams at the top of the tag division but throwing all of them together and not establishing clear conflicts does not help anyone.\u00a0 The 8-man tag may have given an indication as to how the four teams will pair off in future weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud:\u00a0 <\/strong>September 8, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>Based on which teams seemed to be paired off more often in the 8-man tag and the fact that Austin got the pin on Sabin, I think we move to feuds between Motor City Machine Guns vs. Ace Austin &amp; Madman Fulton and The Good Brothers vs. The North.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(3) Rohit Raju vs. TJP vs. Chris Bey vs. Trey Miguel<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments: <\/strong>Trey caught up with Rohit backstage and challenged him to an X Division Title match, since Rohit had said that he welcomed all challengers.\u00a0 Rohit dodged the challenge recounting the confusing number one contender situation within the X Division.\u00a0 Trey said that after he beats TJP, maybe Rohit would change his mind.\u00a0 Trey and TJP went one-on-one in a really good match where TJP and Trey spent the entire match showing off both of their offensive capabilities.\u00a0 Trey was able to get a win after a splash off the top rope. \u00a0The three contenders caught up with Rohit backstage and told the three of them to get in the ring to solve the problem.\u00a0 Rohit then said that the winner of the triple threat match is the number one contender.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>Rohit has been a good cowardly champion by creating excuses and situations where all of his challengers go after one another to try and earn their title shot.\u00a0 TJP, Bey, and Trey have put on some of the better tv matches over the last few weeks.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if Rohit\u2019s dodging of challengers can maintain its novelty until we get to Bound for Glory, but I\u2019ve enjoyed what I\u2019ve seen so far.<\/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 dodge challengers and not put the X Division Title on the line until Bound for Glory.\u00a0 A triple threat match to set the number one contender is set for next week.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>LOWER TIER FEUDS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(1) Sami Callihan vs. RVD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Neither of these guys were on the show, despite RVD saying that a new segment would premiere this week.<\/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<\/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>Mack and Myers went one-on-one for the third time this week.\u00a0 Myers looked strong and intense throughout the match.\u00a0 Early in the match he removed a turnbuckle cover and unsuccessfully tried to throw Mack into it.\u00a0 Late in the match, Mack knocked him into the turnbuckle and got a stunner for the win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows:<\/strong> Myers has looked strong and his \u201cmost professional wrestler\u201d gimmick is fun to watch.\u00a0 Over the last couple of weeks, he has also showcased more of his actual wrestling ability that was mostly forgotten over the last few years.\u00a0 Mack finally got his win after persevering through a number of Myer\u2019s cheating attempts, although it would have been better for Mack if he saw the cheating coming in the second match as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud: <\/strong>August 18, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0 Mack got the win after Myers\u2019s cheating backfired, so perhaps this is the conclusion to the feud.\u00a0 It\u2019d be best if Myers is able to move on to another babyface who he can try and cheat to win against.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(3) Jordynne Grace vs. Tenille Dashwood<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Jordynne interrupted Tenille\u2019s photoshoot and challenged her to a match next week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>Even though we\u2019ve had a few weeks of build-up, there still isn\u2019t much to this feud.\u00a0 Jordynne being upset that Tenille thinks she deserves a title shot was a good start to the feud, but this feud hasn\u2019t really developed past the reintroduction of Tenille a few weeks back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud:<\/strong> September 1, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>A match is set for next week. \u00a0I think Tenille will find a way to get out of the match, extending the feud and building Tenille\u2019s gimmick of not wanting to actually work.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(4) Kiera Hogan (and Tasha Steelz) vs. Taya Valkyrie<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>New Developments:\u00a0 <\/strong>Keira got the win over Valkyrie after Valkyrie was distracted and attacked by Tasha Steelz on the apron.\u00a0 Keira got talked up the entire match by the commentary team, potentially elevating her to bigger things in the Knockouts Division.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highs &amp; Lows: <\/strong>Kiera being built up throughout the match through her work and by the commentary team against a former Knockouts Champion is a great way to make new stars.\u00a0 I am still weary of Hogan and Steelz being involved in any way with the wedding angle, but it is a good way to build up personal heat between the three women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start of Feud:<\/strong> September 8, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forecast &amp; Prediction: <\/strong>\u00a0With Kiera getting the win via distraction, I expect this feud to continue a few more weeks and for Valkyrie to get the win back somehow.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CONCLUDED, FORGOTTEN, OR DORMANT FEUDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Eric Young vs. Eddie Edwards \u2013 DORMANT<\/li>\n<li>Rhino &amp;
