2. Eli Drake Defends the Global Championship in Detroit
Eli Drake, Johnny Impact, and Alberto El Patron have been fighting over the Impact Global Championship for months. The Global Title defense took place at Border City Wrestling as Drake and El Patron work together to take out Impact early. The match goes to the outside of the ring and the Grand Champion takes advantage. He implements a chair that would later be used against him.
Drake and Impact start to battle but Alberto El Patron is not far away. He finds a way to isolate Eli Drake as he almost puts it away. This was the only match where the referee was pulled out of the ring during a count by every competitor. The referee had enough put his hands on Eli Drake. He finds himself in the middle of the ring challenging everyone. This poor referee is met with a triple superkick.
Another referee comes out and is taken out by the Gravy Train as Drake has everyone down. The Border City Wrestling locker room comes to the aid of their officials. Drake, Impact, and El Patron fight off the roster as the match is thrown out. With Genesis coming up next week, this one could be finally settled in the Impact Zone.
