* Sami Callihan tells all – Sami Callihan and Rich Swann have a storied past. We have learned pieces of the story, but not the whole story. What is their past all about? Who helped who? Who owes what? We can’t seem to find out what the situation really is between these two men. We know that Sami wants rich to come home to oVe. Will Rich join oVe? Will Rich follow Sami Callihan? Will Sami tell us more about their past to bring this story together so it all makes sense? There are so many questions that we hope to have answered on Friday at Uncaged.

* World Cup 2019: Team Impact (Eddie Edwards, Sami Callihan, Eli Drake & Fallah Bahh) vs. Team AAA ( Psycho Clown, Aerostar, Puma King & Vikingo)

The main event for Impact Wrestling’s United We Stand was announced on this Friday’s episode of Impact Wrestling. The main event will see Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. The Impact World Tag Team Champions The Lucha Bros. (Rey Fenix & Pentagon Jr).

Impact has been teasing for some time about the main event including a former champion, which was revealed to be RVD. RVD won the Impact World Title back in 2010 after defeating AJ Styles.

Rob Van Dam and Sabu have had a long history together starting back in ECW, where the two won the ECW Tag Team Titles on two separate occasions. RVD and Sabu also wrestled as a tag team in both WWE and Impact Wrestling.

Earlier this week, Rey Fenix and Pentagon Jr. were at the AEW Double Or Nothing” Ticket Announcement Party. It was reported that The Lucha Bros. had agreed to non-exclusive deals with All Elite Wrestling days before the event.

Although IMPACT Wrestling has been streaming programming through Twitch for some time, there was a special curiosity regarding the promotion’s new distribution strategy: to air on domestic television via the Pursuit Channel and stream concurrently on Twitch on Friday nights.

In numbers available on SullyGnome (a Twitch statistics and analysis website) for the 7 day period of January 8th-14th, IMPACT Wrestling peaked at 10,422 viewers (at some point on Friday night). The channel is programmed nearly 24/7 and over 155 hours in the last week averaged 318 viewers for a total watch time of 51,662 hours. IMPACT gained 4,816 followers for the week (and now has 67,320 followers on the platform).

IMPACT was the most watched program in the Wrestling category. In comparison, AAA was ranked second. The AAA promotion had no specific destination programming this week but did stream 144 hours of content. It peaked at 194 viewers and averaged 60 viewers with a total watch time of 8,731 hours.

Over the last 365 days, the most watched 5 promotions were the following:

1. IMPACT
2. AAA
3. Rocky Mountain Pro
4. House of Hardcore
5. Capitol Wrestling

Impact Sale Rumors Addressed At Backstage Meeting, Why Scott Steiner Was Used At TV Tapings, More

Anthem President Ed Nordholm led a backstage meeting and gave a speech to the wrestlers before last night’s Impact Wrestling TV tapings in Nashville, according to PWInsider. The speech was said to be very positive.

Nordholm reportedly said the company accomplished what they set out to do in 2018. He said 2017 was a “learning year” for Impact following the Anthem takeover, but 2018 was about getting them in position for the future. Nordholm added that everyone is optimistic an enthusiastic for what it coming for the company in 2019.

Nordholm also said Impact will continue to be a big part of The Fight Network, which Anthem also owns. He touted the growth of the network internationally. Regarding Impact moving to the Pursuit channel this coming Friday night, Nordholm said one of the reasons Anthem took Impact over was so that they could have it to use with their own assets. Anthem also owns a minority stake in Pursuit.

The roster was allowed to ask Nordholm questions during the meeting and one had to do with the rumors on Anthem possibly being interested in selling Impact last year. Nordholm assured everyone that this is not the case, and that they should not be worried about anything like a sale of the company.

Impact brought Scott Steiner back for last night’s tapings in Nashville as a bonus for Friday’s Pursuit debut. This was done just for these tapings and was not the beginning of a new Impact storyline for Steiner, but the door does remain open for more work down the line.

Impact Announces Weekly Show Will Air On A Second Platform

Image result for Impact premieres on Pursuit and Twitch January 11

During last night’s Impact Homecoming PPV it was announced their weekly Impact show will also air on its Twitch channel beginning January 11 at 10 pm ET.

As noted, the promotion will also be moving to the Pursuit Channel on that same day and time. You can check out their new promo in the videos above or below.

Last month, WrestlingINC spoke with Impact Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore about the move to Pursuit and had hinted that it may not be the only place their flagship show would end up on.

“We’ve been looking at moving on, doing some other things, as we looked at the options it seemed like the best time to make a move to Pursuit, which is a sister company to Impact Wrestling,” D’Amore said. “There’s an ownership stake that [Impact parent company] Anthem Sports & Entertainment has in them and Pursuit is a male dominated demographic. They’re excited to have us, it gives us a nice home base and it doesn’t mean that we don’t have long term plans that we hope for Impact to be as a television show and a wrestling company. We’re excited to have a partner that is excited to have us.

“The first part of this deal is what we’re doing now, the flagship Impact broadcast, airing on Friday nights at 10 pm E. And I know people look at that and go, ‘Oh my God, it’s the death spot.’ Well, if you look back, when we debuted on Spike TV, it’s a different era and network, but wrestling fans find good wrestling. When we went on Spike TV at 11 o’clock on Saturday, we went out there and did probably about 850k viewers when we debuted. We’re excited to work with Pursuit on building it as a platform. We have some ideas and things in the work for other properties on Pursuit. Also, looking to expanding our domestic and international distributions.”
