Nick Aldis & Lio Rush Attack Sabin & Shelley, Samoa Joe Warns Stokely Hathaway | IMPACT x ROH Recap
Here is your fight size update following IMPACT and ROH Wrestling on Thursday, June 29, 2023.
Below are highlights from both Thursday night wrestling shows.
IMPACT Wrestling
– Nick Aldis returns to the IMPACT Zone to explain why he assaulted Alex Shelley two weeks ago with the IMPACT World Title. Shelley swiftly interrupts, stating that no one is interested in his explanation. Aldis accused the Motor City Machine Guns of conspiring against him. According to Aldis, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin have worked hard to get individuals like him out of the business. Aldis feels that during Slammiversary, he will shame and humiliate Shelley, not simply defeat him.
