Last week, IMPACT ended in controversy as Bobby Roode and Eric Young escaped 6-Sides of Steel at the exact same moment. TNA fans across the globe have been asking what will happen and who is the real #1 Contender. On Wednesday night’s IMPACT, we got the answer from Executive Director Kurt Angle!
After meeting with both men, it was revealed that the only fair solution was to schedule one more match.

Win the match, and you are the next challenger for Lashley’s TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
“I’ve got all the respect in the world for Bobby,” ’Showtime' told IMPACTWrestling.com, “he’s one of my best friends and he’s one of the best wrestlers in the world.
