Some sad news in the wrestling/reality TV crossover as Johnny Impact is the latest elimination in the 37th season of Survivor. The IMPACT Wrestling Heavyweight Champion had an impressive run on the show but was voted out in the most pro wrestling way imaginable. Facing two immunity idols, Impact (going by his real name, John Hennigan) was cast out by two votes after a betrayal by one of his allies.

Fans watching the show were shocked at the elimination, going to Twitter to display their reactions:
"That was off the top rope brother", said John, after the best Tribal Council in #Survivor history. #Respect

Wow!!!! That #TRIBALCOUNCIL #blindside was AMAZING. I think its 1 of the best because John surely didn't see that coming. I was so hoping there were other names in there besides C and A. #survivordavidvsgoliath #Survivor. David took out a Goliath in true sweet form. Bye Bro.??

While it’s unfortunate he’s no longer a contestant on the challenge elimination series, he’s still a champion.
