Impact Wrestling Power Rankings: Austin Aries Is Back On Top

Impact Wrestling is currently taping its upcoming television episodes after their “Under Pressure” special, which featured two big title changes and another impressive win by Brian Cage. How do the power rankings look heading into the next batch of tapings?

Austin Aries’s loss to Pentagon Jr. at Redemption reverberated around the wrestling world, but it didn’t take long for “The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived” to regain the Impact World Championship. How high did he rank in this week’s power rankings? Was he finally able to unseat Brian Cage at the top of the Impact food chain?

10. Eddie Edwards

Eddie Edwards still can’t see the bigger picture, and his wife Alisha is beyond frustrated with Edwards’s fixation on murdering Sami Callihan. Yes, murder. That’s where Edwards says he wants to take things when he faces the leader of oVe in the forest with no rules and no referee. Edwards already defeated Callihan in a “Street Fight”, but that wasn’t the blow-off to this vicious blood feud. Although Edwards has completely lost himself and any grip he had on reality, his descent into madness has made for some seriously entertaining television.

9. Eli Drake

After losing the Impact World Tag Team Championships because of a miscommunication with Scott Steiner that led to an unintended chairshot to the head, Eli Drake got his revenge on the “Big Booty Daddy” at Under Pressure. Drake hit Steiner with a steel chair the exact same way that Steiner did when they lost to Andrew Everett and DJZ, except, this time, he meant to hit Steiner. I’m guessing Drake will want to pursue a title after his win over Steiner, but is Steiner really going to let Drake get away with that chairshot?
