He walked into the IMPACT Zone for the first time last Thursday on IMPACT. Josh Alexander was in the ring addressing the fans of IMPACT. Alexander came up with a big win over <strong>JONAH<\/strong> at <em>Hard to Kill<\/em> and made the point that it was just a step on his path back to the IMPACT Title. Haas&#8217;s music hit and he made his way to the ring to confront Alexander. A challenge was laid out by Haas before a brawl broke out between the two. They will settle their differences in the ring this week. Both men have a strong technical wrestling background and this match should be nothing shy of a technical wrestling clinic. Fans of pure and technical style wrestling are in for a treat this week on IMPACT!<\/p>\n<h3>Maclin Challenges Gresham For The ROH TItle<\/h3>\n<p>Jonathan Gresham was being interviewed by <strong>Gia Miller<\/strong> last week on IMPACT. Gresham claimed to have nothing to do with the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2022\/01\/08\/ring-of-honor-impact-hard-to-kill\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>ROH<\/strong> attacks on IMPACT<\/a> wrestlers. Steve Maclin entered the picture accusing Gresham of leaving<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2022\/01\/13\/potential-feuds-between-impact-and-roh\/\" target=\"_self\"> his friends behind<\/a>. Gresham took exception to that, and this match was made. He promises to defend his title in an honorable fashion as part of <strong>The Foundation.<\/strong> Gresham will need to rely on his technical wrestling ability if he is going to get past the power and speed of Maclin. Maclin is hungry for a win after dropping his first one-on-one match in IMPACT to <strong>Trey Miguel<\/strong> at <em>Hard to Kill.<\/em> Find out who walks out the ROH champion this week on IMPACT!<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
