IMPACT on AXS notes: Minoru Suzuki’s in-ring debut, Mickie James retains, FinJuice/Bullet Club

Minoru Suzuki makes IMPACT in-ring debut, Mickie James defends her Knockouts Title, #1 contenders to the tag titles to be determined next week

The main event of the 11/4 IMPACT Wrestling on AXS featured the in-ring debut of Minoru Suzuki. He teamed with W. Morrissey and IMPACT World Champion Moose to defeat Josh Alexander, Eddie Edwards and Matt Cardona.

Mickie James had her first defense of the Knockouts Championship since winning the title at Bound For Glory. She scored a win over Madison Rayne and post-match, Mickie was challenged by Mercedes Martinez and their match has been made official for ‘Turning Point’ on November 20th.

On the 11/11 IMPACT on AXS, FinJuice (David Finlay & Juice Robinson) are going to meet Bullet Club (Hikuleo, Chris Bey or El Phantasmo) in a traditional tag match and the winners will have secured a shot at Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson’s IMPACT Tag Titles.

Laredo Kid versus Rohit Raju versus Black Taurus versus Steve Maclin opened the show and it was Laredo Kid emerging victorious to earn an X Division Title match. That match between him and Trey Miguel is taking place at Turning Point but while Miguel and Laredo were shaking hands, Steve Maclin made a run-in and ambushed both talents.

During the ‘Before The IMPACT’ show, Sam Beale pinned Brian Myers after connecting with a lariat. Beale teamed with Rich Swann and Willie Mack to take on Myers, Zicky Dice and VSK.
