Tony Khan Rewards Former IMPACT Star With AEW TV Debut After Impressive Match On Dark

Following an impressive showing on AEW Dark, Tony Khan has rewarded a former IMPACT star with an AEW TV debut.

On the January 11 episode of AEW Dark: Elevation, Brian Cage defeated Willie Mack.

This showing was enough to get Tony Khan to give Mack a chance to shine on television.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said:

“The deal here is that they had a match on one of the streaming shows this week that was really good apparently, so Tony wanted to do it again, this time on television.

“And also because Brian Cage is wrestling Bryan Danielson (next week), so Brian Cage getting a win on Rampage to build that up makes all the sense in the world.”

Willie Mack left IMPACT Wrestling in May 2022.

Mack would, once again, face Brian Cage on the recent taping of the January 20 episode AEW Rampage taped after AEW Dynamite on January 18.
