The relationship between American Top Team and IMPACT is a complex one. What started out as a beneficial relationship for both parties, has since turned into a war zone, with Lashley at the center of it all.
At the beginning of September, after much thought, Lashley announced that he would no longer be pursuing his career with professional wrestling, in order to focus on his Mixed Martial Arts career. However, it wasn’t that easy. Jim Cornette would grant Lashley’s release, if he competed in one more match against Moose. Lashley agreed, and we haven’t seen him inside the IMPACT Zone ever since.
After the brutal beating the last time Lashley was in the IMPACT Zone, the rivalry between Moose and Lashley has grown ever hotter. Moose has even visited the American Top Team Headquarters in an effort to settle the score, and the American Top Team are very unhappy about it.
The IMPACT Zone on Thursday night will be the battle ground for the war between Lashley, American Top Team, Moose and IMPACT. Lashley and American Top Team are seeking retribution for the actions of Moose and Stephan Bonnar, but that could be just what Moose and Bonnar are looking for – a fight!
