New AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and Don Callis devoured the final 15 minutes of Tuesday night\\u2019s Impact Wrestling in a segment that provided very few clues about Omega\\u2019s future plans. Omega did hint at a future clash with Impact World Champ Rich Swann..as he compared collecting championships to collecting comic books.

\\n\\n

That clip from last night\\u2019s Impact Wrestling.

\\n\\n

Omega and Callis also teased a \\u201cbig announcement\\u201d on tonight\\u2019s AEW Dynamite.

\\n\\n

Last night\\u2019s Impact included an extended promo for Dynamite featuring Tony Khan and Tony Schiavone. It was staged as a promotional announcement paid for by AEW.

\\n\\n

For what it\\u2019s worth, last night\\u2019s live stream of Impact on Twitch peaked at more than 50,000 viewers. Here\\u2019s what else they saw...

\\n\\n

Impact Results: AEW footage on Impact. This is clearly an open partnership.
\\nChris Sabin beat Josh Alexander with a rollup
\\nBrian Myers defeated TJP
\\nEric Young defeated Cody Deaner
\\nKnockouts Tag Team Title Tournament: Rosemary & Taya Valkyrie defeated Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo & Kimber Lee to advance to the tournament semifinals..when Rosemary pinned Kimber Lee.
\\nSami Callihan promo...and attacked by Eddie Edwards
\\nChris Bey & Moose beat Rich Swann & Willie Mack. Bey pinned Mack (Bey will challenge Impact Wrestling Champion Rich Swann Saturday night at Impact Wrestling\\u2019s Final Resolution PPV)

\\n\\n

\\nKnockouts Title Match: Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. Rosemary
\\nEric Young vs. Rhino
\\nLarry D vs. Tommy Dreamer
\\nTenille Dashwood & Kaleb vs. Eddie Edwards & Alisha

\\n\\n

On top of all the Omega drama, tonight\\u2019s Dynamite is already loaded. There will be appearances by Sting and Shaquille O\\u2019Neal. The Inner Circle MIGHT break up...or maybe not. Also, the Dynamite Diamond Final between MJF and Orange Cassidy. The Young Bucks vs. The Hybrid 2.. And FTR vs. the Varsity Blondes - Brian Pillman Jr and Griff Garrison.

\\n\\n

Speaking of the Blondes, they BEAT the Dark Order\\u2019s Colt Cabana and Alex Reynolds on last night\\u2019s AEW Dark.

\\n\\n

Someone who\\u2019s been orbiting AEW recently, the NWA Women\\u2019s World Champion Thunder Rosa. She successfully defended her title against Priscilla Kelly on last night\\u2019s NWA Shockwave.

\\n\\n

Tonight\\u2019s NXT will have fallout from Sunday\\u2019s Takeover Wargames and the return of NXT Champ Finn Balor.

\\n\\n

Pat McAfee\\u2019s injury update after Wargames - no broken bones! So, good news for him.

\\n\\n

The card for Ring of Honor\\u2019s Final Battle PPV on December 18th appears to be set. The latest matches announced:

\\nMatt Taven and Mike Bennett will face Vincent and Bateman.

\\n\\n

What would it take to lure CM Punk back into pro wrestling? Renee Paquette recently asked him..

\\n\\n

\\n\\n

Punk interviewed on Paquette\\u2019s \\u201cOral Sessions\\u201d podcast.

\\n\\n

If you were wondering why Alexa Bliss was not on Raw Monday night, it turns out she, Charlotte Flair and D-Von Dudley are all involved in production of the \\u201cPunky Brewster\\u201d reboot.

\\n\\n

Finally, Code Orange\\u2019s theme song for \\u201cThe Fiend\\u201d Bray Wyatt\\u2019s is among Google\\u2019s top hummed songs of 2020. It\\u2019s ranked #26 - right behind \\u201cBaby Shark\\u201d.
