Who Has The Main Event Edge?
At Homecoming on Sunday, January 6th LIVE on Pay Per View Johnny IMPACT defends his title against Brian Cage. The World Championship is the most important title in IMPACT Wrestling. We have witnessed incredible matches for the World Title, some from 2018 will be remembered for years. Eli Drake and Pentagon Jr. won the World Title in 2018. Moose challenged for the title, Sami Callihan has been eying the title and Eddie Edwards would love to get back in the hunt for the World Title. However all eyes will be on Johnny IMPACT vs. Brian Cage on January 6th in Music City.
When you look at the strength between these two men, you have to give the advantage to Brian Cage, he is a freak… Cage is the Machine. Brian Cage has the size and strength advantage over almost every single opponent he steps into the ring with. Brian Cage is the real deal.
The next thing we can look at is experience and that goes to Johnny IMPACT. IMPACT has been a star in every single company he has competed for in his career. IMPACT has also been a Champion in every company he has wrestled for in his career. Johnny knows how to handle the pressure of being on Pay Per View and the pressure of being in the Main Event. Johnny IMPACT takes the advantage in experience for sure, without question.
What about offense? Defense? Special abilities? We can debate these all day, but we think when it comes to the moves, what these men can do, they are very unique and very similar and to put the argument to rest, we are going to call it even on all these aspects of their respective games.
One thing that is for sure, we can’t wait to see these men clash for the World Title at Homecoming on January 6th. Who do you think is going to win?

10 Man Tag Team Blockbuster on IMPACT!
This will be fun! There are matches that takes place that when you see them on paper, you immediately know you need to see it. This is one of those matches. Ten athletes who are all gifted in various ways come together and look to build momentum towards Homecoming.
On one side, The Rascalz (Trey, Dez and Wentz) team with Rich Swann and Willie Mack to face oVe, Sami Callihan, Matt Sydal and Ethan Page.
Keep in mind, this one will give us a preview of Ultimate X when it returns at Homecoming as all four men in that match will be featured in this tag team match on IMPACT.
Plus you never know what Sami Callihan is thinking and he seems to have a lot of issues with Rich Swann and Willie Mack. Callihan recently got into it with Mack on Press Pass, which you can listen to here.

Eli Drake’s Homecoming Address
Eli Drake always speaks his mind and on the final IMPACT before Homecoming, Eli will have his Homecoming Address. Eli’s final chance to send a message to his Homecoming opponent the IMPACT Hall of Famer, Abyss in a Monster’s Ball Match!

Tag Team Main Event w/ Major Homecoming Implications
It will be The Lucha Bros! vs. IMPACT World Champion Johnny IMPACT and his Homecoming opponent Brian Cage. Pentagon Jr. and Fenix face LAX at Homecoming for the World Tag Team Titles. Clearly all of these amazingly gifted athletes are looking to build momentum heading towards Nashville on January 6th and Homecoming.
The first question we have is can Brian Cage and Johnny IMPACT work as a team? If they weren’t facing each other for the World Championship at Homecoming, we might say yes. Remember these two have known each other for years, they have been friends and they both live on the west coast. They respect each other, however when they face off for the World Title, that all changes. Brian Cage wants to be World Champion and has that chance in Music City. So will Cage be ready to pounce if Johnny gets in trouble next Thursday? We are reluctant to think so. Johnny is a good guy for sure, but if LAX start rocking and rolling on Brian Cage, IMPACT will have a front row seat to see his Championship opponent catch a beatdown.
The Lucha Bros! have a chance to send a message to LAX with an impressive victory on IMPACT and head towards Homecoming trending in a positive and upward position. Pentagon Jr. and Fenix have their goal in mind and that is Tag Team Championship gold on Pay Per View with people watching from all over the world.
The final IMPACT before Homecoming is certainly a can’t miss show, the “go home” show as we call it and everyone will look to work out the plans they have for the first Pay Per View of 2019. This is a night that will be special for so many reasons, but after the good vibes fade away, who will be standing tall with Championship gold?
