Wrestling Woes: A Night of Upsets at Impact's World Cup Pay Per View

Orlando, Florida - In a night that saw more twists and turns than a WWE storyline, Impact Wrestling's World Cup pay per view event left fans scratching their heads as the unexpected emerged victorious. Held at the Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, the highly anticipated PPV delivered its fair share of surprises, with a few familiar faces standing tall at the end.

The action kicked off with Eddie Edwards besting James Storm in a competitive World Cup match, with "Mr. 450" securing the win in 9:51 minutes. The BroMans followed suit, defeating Mr. Anderson and Sanada to advance their chances of making it to the finals.

Gail Kim made quick work of Madison Rayne, finishing her off in 8:24 minutes, while Eric Young continued his winning streak by taking down Bobby Roode in a hard-hitting contest that lasted 12:57 minutes. Kurt Angle, meanwhile, kept his momentum going with a swift victory over Magnus in just 6:57 minutes.

In the women's division, Angelina Love outlasted ODB in a match that saw both competitors give it their all, ultimately resulting in a win for "The Queen of Mean" in 7:06 minutes. Ethan Carter III, on the other hand, had to dig deep to overcome Davey Richards, emerging victorious after 11:23 minutes.

Bully Ray and Gunner paired up to take down Kenny King and Samuel Shaw in an action-packed match that saw both teams giving it their all. The duo's victory set them up nicely for a shot at the World Cup title.
