Austin Aries and Bobby Roode are two of the most decorated performers in TNA history - and they have a very storied past. This week on Friday Night IMPACT, the two do battle for supremacy in the IMPACT Top 5. Aries, currently ranked #3, and Roode, ranked #1, will each enter the 20 Man Gauntlet Match next week to determine Lashley's next challenger for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the IMPACT Top 5 will have an advantage, entering the Gauntlet in the five final spots.
However, that is not at all the only story going into this match. Do you remember the TNA World Tag Team Championship reign that these two men shared together as the "Dirty Heels"? Or how about Destination X in 2010 when Aries created Option C and took the TNA World Title from Bobby Roode - ending his reign (and the longest reign ever in the history of the championship?
Fans will debate which is the better man and who will prevail this Friday, however looking at the feats listed above, there is no doubt that these two men personify what TNA is all about. Two of the greatest superstars in TNA history do battle this Friday night on Destination America and there are championship implications at play -- what could be better!?
Don't miss Friday Night IMPACT, tomorrow at 9/8c, on Destination America!
