GFW Impact Live Results (8/31): The Road To Bound for Glory continues
Global Force Wrestling was back with an exciting show full of plenty of surprises. As fans travel down the path GFW creates, there will be plenty of twists and turns as well as some traffic jams due to construction.
After all, GFW is still rebuilding themselves into the company they always should have been. With Bobby Lashley's imminent departure from the company in order the focus on his MMA career became all the more clear on this week's episode, the focus is now on building up new stars.
Lashley though said something really interesting in his statement regarding the future, which will be addressed in the coming slides.
We'll begin with the opening segment first featuring the new GFW Champion, Eli Drake.
#1 Eli Drake and Chris Adonis start the show
The show started with GFW Champion Eli Drake and Chris Adonis showing up to the arena. It was mentioned how Lashley and American Top Team hadn't arrived yet. It didn't take long before Lambert got into an argument with Jeff Jarrett.
Drake and Adonis are in the ring enjoying victory cigars. Drake says he's travelled around for fourteen years and now he has the title. Eli went on to say that he's angry about how long it took for him to get the title in the first place and he went on to brag about his win.
Drake said not even Jim Cornette could keep him away from the championship, after which Johnny Impact came to the ring. Impact told Eli about how everyone is sick of hearing him talk.
Eddie Edwards got a shot at the microphone and said that he was speaking up so he gets a chance. He told Johnny Impact that he outranks him because he had held the GFW Title before.
Eli Drake caused even more heat between the two and Jim Cornette came out to settle matters.
A match between Eddie Edward and Johnny Impact vs Eli Drake and Chris Adonis is booked for later in the show. If Drake's team wins he doesn't have to defend the title, but if Johnny or Eddie get the victory that's who will get the title shot.
