AEW STARS TO HEADLINE IMPACT ON AXS AFTER SURPRISE APPEARANCE

By Mike Johnson on 2021-01-19 20:31:00

Tonight's episode of Impact Wrestling on AXS TV will be headlined by All Elite Wrestling's Private Party vs. Chris Sabin & James Storm.

During a segment where Impact Wrestling Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers were arguing with Sabin and Storm, Matt Hardy (playing his Big Money Matt persona) and Private Party, making their Impact debut, came out.

Matt said Private Party had the potential to be the second best tag team of all time, behind The Hardy Boys and tomorrow, they have a big six man tag on Dynamite so he brought them to Impact for a warm up match since they need a warm-up match.  Hardy said he gets 50% of their payday since it's a third party booking.  Storm said that this was a private conversation, not a private party. 

Hardy said that they aren't experienced enough to talk for themselves, so everyone should be talking to him.  He said in 2016, he put Impact Wrestling on his back and saved the company from bankruptcy so everyone should be thanking him.  Hardy suggested Private Party challenge for the Tag Titles tonight.  He said he and Jeff never lost the belts, they were taken from them in a stupid teleportation angle.  

Sabin and Storm said none of that has anything to do with them.  The Good Brothers suggested they should fight it out and the winners can get a title shot.  Hardy said he's going to have his team of lawyers deal with Impact's lawyers.  He told Private Party he needed them to be vicious and mean and after they win, they are coming for the Impact Tag Team titles.

That match will main event tonight's Impact and the word is other AEW personalities will also appear on the show.

AEW Champion Kenny Omega appeared in the opening segment, which was "taped Saturday night" after the PPV.
