Impact Wrestling Preview (8/5): Kenny Omega Set For Action, Frankie Kazarian Returns

By Brie Coder

After a well-renowned King & Queen Tournament this past Saturday at Homecoming, it's back to work for the rest of the Impact Wrestling roster.

Tonight, worlds will collide when The Elite (Impact World Champion Kenny Omega and the Impact World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers) take on AEW's Frankie Kazarian, Sami Callihan and Eddie Edwards.

Last week, Callihan returned to the Impact Zone after Omega surprisingly outdistanced him at Slammiversary a few weeks back. What Callihan didn't know was that Kazarian would run in and attack The Elite during their segment. For the first time in seven years, "The Elite Hunter" makes his highly anticipated return to Impact. Can Kazarian's team come out victorious and put The Elite in their place?

In addition, Chris Bey looks to redeem his loss from last week by facing New Japan star Juice Robinson. The NEVER Openweight Champion Jay White will be in Bey's corner, while David Finlay will be in Robinson's. Following their brutal attack on FinJuice last week, White has had a lot on his plate since coming to Impact. By offering an invitation for Bey to join the Bullet Club and a massive title defense against Finlay next Saturday at NJPW Resurgence, can the Bullet Club leader get his ducks in a row in time? Also, can Bey capitalize on an impressive win and reinstate his Bullet Club invite?
