X Division title challenge, tag match added to Impact’s Turning Point
Impact Wrestling continues to add more matches to Saturday’s Turning Point event on their Impact Plus streaming service, announcing two more bouts on social media Wednesday.
After his successful defense of the title Tuesday in a win over TJP, X Division Champion Rohit Raju is reopening his “Defeat Raju Challenge”, opening it up to anyone on the roster to challenge for the belt.
The other new match will feature Chris Sabin and newfound partner James Storm against XXXL (Acey Romery and Larry D). Sabin found himself partnerless due to Alex Shelley’s recent neck injury, but after defeating Romero Tuesday, XXXL beat him up and left him laying. He asked Storm backstage if he would help back him up against his enemies and the “Cowboy” accepted.
The matches round out an already deep card for Saturday:
- World Champion Rich Swann vs. Sami Callihan
- Knockouts Champion Su Yung vs. Deonna Purrazzo
- Tag Team Champions The North vs. Good Brothers
- Jordynne Grace/Tenille Dashwood vs. Rosemary/Taya Valkyrie
- Brian Myers vs. Swoggle
- Moose vs. Willie Mack
- Eddie Edwards vs. Daivari
- X Division Champion Rohi Raju open challenge
- Chris Sabin and James Storm vs. XXXL
