Josh Alexander returns, Lio Rush eyes championship gold, and chaos ensues in the IMPACT Zone
IMPACT Wrestling has released a riveting video titled “Josh Alexander, Lio Rush, and KUSHIDA Eye Championship Gold | IMPACT July 20, 2023.” The video, which has already amassed over 23,000 views, showcases a series of intense confrontations and announcements that have set the stage for a thrilling series of matches.
The video kicks off with the return of Josh Alexander, who addresses the IMPACT Zone after his surprise return at Slammiversary. He announces his full recovery and his intent to reclaim the IMPACT World Championship, a title he never lost. However, his declaration is interrupted by the current champion, Alex Shelley, who accepts Alexander’s challenge.
The tension escalates when the new X Division champion, Lio Rush, enters the scene. After defeating Chris Sabin at Slammiversary, Rush hints at exercising Option C, a clause that allows the X Division champion to relinquish their title for a shot at the IMPACT World Championship.
However, KUSHIDA, who earned a guaranteed X Division title shot at Slammiversary, interrupts Rush’s proclamation, asserting that Rush cannot exercise Option C until he faces him.
The video concludes with a chaotic scene as Bully Ray, Moose, and Brian Myers attack the wrestlers in the ring, leaving viewers in suspense about what’s to come.
