After AJ Styles "walked out" of the company last night, Dixie Carter will announce a tournament to crown a new champion on next week's episode, which airs on Halloween. 

A gauntlet match will headline next Thursday's show to determine one of the participants, and the actual tournament begins on November 7.

The expected names in the tournament are Kurt Angle, Austin Aries, Chris Sabin, Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Magnus and James Storm.

Yeah it's the cm punk thing over again. But I think they will actually have AJ defend the title in different companies and in Japan. Then I say by before lock down he'll come back and than he and what he will call the "fake" Champion will have a unification match for both titles. I say the person to win this should be Bobby Roode, but it should be Magnus who is the champion facing AJ At lockdown

We should get some great matches out of this

As long as this is done well, I don't care if it's been done before. That Impact felt really good to watch on Thursday and a reset button was hopefully well and truly smashed with a hammer.

I hope this storyline goes somewhere in a good direction, but this promo sucked. AJ's music should of hit and Dixie should of stopped talking seriously.

It made it feel more realistic that he just bailed out of the company. Playing his music would have done jackall...

Well her continuing to talk, it was quite annoying, but that's just me.

We must of been watching a different episode of Impact, because that show was heavily promo and segment based. The first hour alone had 8 minutes of actual match time and that was spread over 2 matches. Not good.

A show doesn't need 7 million matches to make it good.

A wrestling show doesnt need a ton of promos and backstage segments either. Show wasnt good, sorry.

I enjoy this weeks impact. Some shows are just there to advance feuds and stuff. Both TNA and WWE have done it for years now. But overall it was a pretty good impact.

oh and Dead...To quote Dead at Dead "Not Everyone thinks like you."

 

This week was....actually a good Impact. Looking forward to the Bobby Roode vs. Kurt Angle rematch.
