Cali Combat Preview

Impact Wrestling airs from California this week with their latest TV special on Pursuit and Twitch. Headlined by a massive confrontation, this is a show you probably don't want to miss.

Tommy Dreamer vs Sami Callihan
Recently, Tommy Dreamer got involved in the business between Sami Callihan and Tessa Blanchard when he came to her aid in her match against Madman Fulton. He also tagged with her this past week on Impact to defeated oVe. What will Sami do to eliminate the pest that was the heart and soul of ECW?

Willie Mack vs Trey
This past week on Impact, the trio of Mack, Rich Swann and Rob Van Dam were successful in defeating The Rascalz in six man action. Clearly, the Rascalz had their heads in the clouds (or in the smoke) while the were awing over Rob Van Dam. It cost them dearly. Both Rascalz and Mack/Swann want to make some in-roads towards the tag team titles and they will need to pick up victories to do so.

Taya's State of the Knockouts Address
Taya barely survived Monster's Ball at Slammiversary to retain her Knockouts Championship. A few weeks later, she had to defend her title against the Monstrous Havok before barely escaping. Taya has recently shown frustration with her manager, Johnny Bravo due to his series of errors. She will speak out at Cali Combat about what is next for her, her Knockouts Title and the Knockouts Division.

The North vs Reno Scum- Tag Team Championship
Ethan Page and Josh Alexander of the North have been dominant the past few weeks on Impact. Among their many wins, they have defeated LAX, a makeshift LAX, The Rascalz and more. This past week they laid out an open challenge for anyone from the west coast to challenge them. That challenge was accepted by familiar faces in Reno Scum. Scum looks to stick around by defeating the North and becoming champions. That is a story that will be told this week.

Havok vs Alisha Edwards
The Monster, Havok will be in action this week against the wife of Eddie Edwards. It is fair to say that both competitors have other things on their mind. With Havok, it is the constant mind games of Su Yung. With Alisha, it is the recent interactions with Ace Austin that have caused her problems with Eddie Edwards.

​Jake Crist vs Rich Swann- X Division Championship
In the main event of Impact a few weeks ago, oVe's Jake Crist shocked the world by ending Rich Swann's X Division Title reign. Even though it took some assistance from the other members of oVe, Jake did the impossible. To think that Jake was able to do something that even Sami Callihan couldn't do, that is something to consider. Rich Swann will get his championship rematch at Cali Combat. The result could be different this time.

Mike Elgin vs Rhino
Ever since the masked figure hit Elgin with a massive Spear/Gore at Slammiversary, Impact fans have been waiting for this match. Two giant beasts will finally go at it this week on Impact. Rhino has been very vocal and passionate since his return to Impact. Elgin has been on a path of destruction, even sidelining the World Champion. Both of these men are looking at World Championship Gold down the line. They will need to get through this obstacle to realize that goal.
