It's official, Kenny Omega is going to be wrestling for Impact, but he's not just gonna be wrestling for Impact, he's going to be reuniting with Gallows and Anderson, as THE BULLET CLUB will take on Rich Swann and The Motor City Machine Guns in a six man match at their upcoming January PPV, Hard to Kill
Well, the next step has been taken... Hard to Kill might be Impact's most watched PPV in a long time.

Looks like some good brothers may take a field trip to Daily’s Place real soon.

Looks like some good brothers may take a field trip to Daily’s Place real soon. Meltzer said this was the rumor, he talked Gallows and Anderson making AEW appearances in the deal in terms of talent exchange. I wonder if there will be more beyond that. I really want Motor City vs Young Bucks again...

Already a shit ton of comments on the Tweet showing screencaps that they purchased Hard to Kill just for this match
This will be a definite win for Impact.

I’m curious what the benefit for AEW is going to be.

I’m curious what the benefit for AEW is going to be. It seems more like they want to build up the alternative scene, make goodwill, and get crossover talent themselves And if Kenny gets a bunch of belts for this Collector Gimmick, that benefits them

I’m curious what the benefit for AEW is going to be. Ok let's analyze. 1. Interesting and exciting booking for the fans. 2. Use of talent like Good Brothers and MCMGs. 3. Omega maybe becoming a belt collector, building Omega to be beyond everyone in pro wrestling. 4. Impact has people who watch, that don't watch AEW. They have an audience, and a loyal audience. 5. Fun content. Khan and Shiavone cutting heel commercials. Callis doing work with AEW. It's a fun crossover. So yeah, there is plenty AEW gets from it. AEW's demo is beating Raw's demo rating, so why not build the audience. I mean, AEW is doing something right, I trust them to make wrestling a better place to be.

I’m curious what the benefit for AEW is going to be. Short-term, the benefit is buzz, I'd figure, but longer-term, I think with it and AAA, they likely want to show good faith with partnerships, which is probably going to be to their benefit in the future if they want to work with anybody.

I really hope this leads to Omega vs Swann at some point. I've only seen Swann a couple of times but feel like they could put on a great match.

I feel like they want to do what New Japan/ROH did but better, and have a Supershow down the road, maybe in a few years, in the likes of Madison Square Garden, and if they do that, it'd be best to have good relationships with the Indies, and also show these companies you're legit and can give them a boost in interest and viewership

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Between now and Hard to Kill on January 16 we have:
ROH's biggest show of the year Final Battle on December 18
New Japan's biggest show of the year Wrestle Kingdom on January 4
If there was ever a time for the stars to align and have big blockbuster surprise crossovers, it's now. It's absolutely now.
As much as the world sucks as the moment, we have an exciting 31 days ahead of us as wrestling fans!

Ring of Honor is very possible, New Japan is the one that'd be most unlikely, but say if Kenny appeared on the tron after an Ibushi win or something with the Good Brothers flanking him? That'd be a big deal... a very big deal. We're just gonna have to wait... but this has all the makings of being crazy.

But who knowsss?

The main benefit right now that I see is that there's a renewed sense of "anything can happen" with AEW that makes it more must see. They have a buzz for a lot of reasons but this is one of them.

This is the most interested I’ve been in Impact in years and AEW at all, so the buzz is definitely working in my case. Can’t wait to see where they go next

I have no idea how all of this promoted crossover is going to work out without one of the promotions within question getting upset with how "their" guys are booked.
Call it... cautious optimism.
I'm excited to see where it goes.

I'm excited to see where it goes. Thats my biggest concern for this too. Can egos be put aside to help put other promotions talent over? Only time will tell

I think we need to see TNAs stop star invade AEW now. Who is actually their top star right now?
