Eddie Edwards defeated Sami Callihan this week on Impact Wrestling but was attacked after the match by his opponent. During the post-match beatdown, Callihan placed a folding chair on top of Edwards and struck it with a baseball bat. The bat grazed the chair and then struck Edwards in the head.

Eddie Edwards spoke to TMZ Sports about the incident:



Edwards suffered a broken nose and orbital bone.

Jim Cornette was not impressed and expressed as much below:

OK, I just saw this for the first time– @TheEddieEdwards should have beat the shit out of this stupid fuck–he set it up shoddy, was careless with his shitty swing & they shouldn't have been doing it to begin with. Who the fuck "trained" @TheSamiCallihan ? I'm fucking hot.

This hurts Jimmy…. I’ll just keep watching my bank account go up.

Kassius Ohno was not impressed with Callihan’s response to Cornette:

Really? Really? There is ZERO correlation between how much money you make & what happened in that ring. You should be embarrassed. ASHAMED.

Callihan also talked to TMZ Sports about the incident:



Impact Wrestling’s “Cross Roads” show next week will feature 4 championship matches. Eddie Edwards will team with Lashley to take on oVe.
