IMPACT World Championship Match is Now a No-Disqualification Match
The upcoming Slammiversary match between Kenny Omega and Sami Callihan for the IMPACT World Championship has an interesting new stipulation. The challenge was laid down by Callihan last night and confirmed by IMPACT Wrestling this morning.
The championship match will now be a No-Disqualification match. Kenny Omega, the current holder of the IMPACT World Championship has not commented on this late-stage change, however, given his fondness for bending the rules, this could play into his hands.
Callihan is a brawler. You don’t get a nickname like Death Machine without knowing how to get physical. The ability to take the fight to a more hardcore level will certainly give him an extra level to fall back on. However, the same stipulation means the Elite could get involved at any moment. Should the Young Bucks show up at Slammiversary, there is every chance the fight for the IMPACT World Championship could become a 5 on 1 affair.
Kenny Omega holds multiple belts across multiple organizations. That grip has to end at some point. Will his match at Slammiversary be the one to chip away at his pro-wrestling dominance? IMPACT fans will be hoping that Callihan has what it takes to wrestle the IMPACT World Championship from his grip.
Omega has held the belt since April. While this will only be his third defence, his reign has already made enough headlines to be memorable. While Sammi Callihan is a former IMPACT World Championship belt holder and is eager to reclaim the gold.
Slammiversary is just 3 days away and will be held in front of a limited capacity live audience. You can always watch it live on Fite TV.
It is worth noting that should Kenny Omega call on his Elite brethren to come to his aid, there is a very well known AEW name who has a history fighting alongside Callihan. Former AEW champion Jon Moxley has unfinished business with Kenny Omega. Wrestling fans will be hoping for a switchblade collective reunion. One thing is for sure, Mox would love to play a hand in helping strip Omega of his IMPACT World Championship.
