Frankie Kazarian is one of the names that helped build IMPACT Wrestling’s X-Division nearly twenty years ago. Now, he is back in the promotion and he has brought with him his grudge against Kenny Omega and The Elite. On the July 29 episode of IMPACT Wrestling, while Kenny was focused on Sami Callihan, Frankie Kazarian returned to the promotion and cleared the ring of The Elite.
Here’s how it all went down:
Out comes Kenny Omega. Don Callis talks Kenny Omega up plenty. Now Tommy Dreamer wants to work him for Emergence? Sami Callihan glitches the IMPACT Zone. He comes out and Callis tells him to go back to Dayton. Sami Callihan says he plans to win that battle royal. Don Callis welcomes him to come into the ring, but it’s Frankie Kazarian who does to help Sami clear house. Big “welcome back” chants for Kaz.
Backstage, Kaz and Sami want Tommy Dreamer to partner up with him. Dreamer says it’s not for him, but he whispers a suggestion to both. Kaz likes it and Sami doesn’t think it’s feasible.
