#5 New alliance on IMPACT Wrestling
The feud between Heath & Rhino and Violent By Design has been building up for months. It looked like the rivalry was about to be put to rest last week as Eric Young battled Rhino in a Street Fight.
A week before that, during VBD's attack on Rich Swann and Willie Mack, Heath & Rhino made the save and had the numbers advantage for the first time.
Violent By Design assaulted Rich Swann & @Willie_Mack after their match but @HEATHXXII & Rhino were there to even the odds!

In the grudge match last week, it looked like Rhino was about to beat Young, but The Good Brothers joined forces with VBD. The heels took out Swann, Mack, Heath & Rhino, ultimately allowing Young to win over The Gore Machine.
"Double Chokeslam?!"

The entire saga led to the scheduled tag match tonight, with Gallows and Doering picking up the win. Judging by the looks of things, we probably might get a fatal four-way for the tag titles at IMPACT Wrestling's Hard to Kill.
