It is likely Miller was referring to <strong>Rhino<\/strong>, who teamed with Miller in <strong>WWE<\/strong> to win the <em><strong>SmackDown<\/strong><\/em> tag team championships a few years back. The two even enjoyed a brief backstage reunion later in the night. But as far as Miller&#8217;s promo, he suggested that if answering the open challenge wasn&#8217;t an option, that he was there to fill the vacant spot in the world title match planned for the main event. Miller, who cut a passionate promo this morning suggesting he was ready to surprise people by showing them a brand new side, was interrupted in the ring by <strong>Rohit Raju<\/strong>, who came out to declare that Miller would not be getting a title shot before him. Miller quickly disposed of Raju and looked great in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The night is still young but IMPACT is already pulling out all the stops. A newly reinvigorated Miller is a great addition and could slot in well to the X-Division picture or alongside Rhino, join IMPACT&#8217;s strong looking tag division, which got a major facelift on Saturday with the additions of MCMG and the <strong>Good Brothers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rhyno313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Rhyno313<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HEATHXXII?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@HEATHXXII<\/a> have reunited! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Slammiversary?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Slammiversary<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>ORDER HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cjK3GrKZ0H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/cjK3GrKZ0H<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hWbHmnZhoF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/hWbHmnZhoF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; TNA Wrestling (@ThisIsTNA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThisIsTNA\/status\/1284662276906254336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 19, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprowrestling.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a> for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
