Chris Bey vs. Juice Robinson
Jay White extended an invitation to Chris Bey to join the Bullet Club a couple of weeks ago. After Bey made a save for White against The Good Brothers, it seemed like Bey was on his way to joining the stable. Bey assumed he was a part of the Bullet Club after tagging with Bullet Club leader Jay White last week. The duo lost to The Good Brothers and White reminded him he was not a member yet. He offered Bey a shot at redemption in the form of jumping FinJuice backstage. Now, Bey and Juice Robinson will go one on one, with White and David Finlay in the respective corners. Will Bey redeem himself and become a member of Bullet Club?

Frankie Kazarian Returns to IMPACT Wrestling
The “Elite Hunter” Frankie Kazarian returns to the IMPACT Zone this week. Kazarian made his presence felt last week when he assisted Sami Callihan against Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers. Callihan informed The Elite and Don Callis that would enter the battle royal to become the number one contender for Omega’s IMPACT World Championship. Callihan didn’t want to wait to get his hands on The Elite and announced that they would be in six-man action this week on IMPACT with two partners of Callihan’s choosing. Kazarian then appeared to attack the Elite in the ring.
As they made their way to the back, Tommy Dreamer approached them. They asked Dreamer to join the team for next week, but he turned them down. He mentioned a person he had in mind to them which seemed to get approval from both Callihan and Kazarian. That person turned out to be Eddie Edwards, who was reluctant at first due to the history between himself and Callihan. Dreamer assured him that he could trust Callihan for this match, and coaxed Eddie into joining the team. Will Kazarian be victorious in his first match back? Find out this week on IMPACT!
