Eric Young made his return to IMPACT Wrestling at Slammiversary in July and in just under two months, he has captured the IMPACT World Championship. Young clashed with Eddie Edwards in the main event of IMPACT’s 9/1/20 show on AXS and ended Edwards’ reign that began at this year’s Slammiversary event.

This is Young’s second time winning a world championship under the IMPACT Wrestling/TNA banner. He was released from WWE back in April as a part of the company mass cuts/furloughs and returned to IMPACT once his 90-day non-compete expired.
Over the past several weeks, Young has been feuding with/ambushing Rich Swann. Tonight’s IMPACT also featured the return of Tenille Dashwood.
A recap article of the show will be up on the POST Wrestling home page.
