Welcome to PWInsider.com's ongoing coverage of Impact Wrestling's Hard To Kill Cellabration, the company's virtual fan interaction event.
Gia Miller and Matt Striker are your hosts. Apparently Striker's clothes didn't arrive with his luggage.
Impact Wrestling Champion Rich Swann joined them. He said he was on edge about the change to his match tomorrow. He and the audience. Swann said there's no one better than Alex Shelley but Moose has been tearing through the company for months. Swann said he, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley were training together in Detroit last week and were ready but Moose being there throws a wrench into their plans. They are in with three of the best wrestlers in the world. He said he doesn't know that he can step in there and team with Moose and put everything he's done in the company on the line. He said that unfortunately, if they want to represent Impact, he has to figure out a way to co-exist with Moose.
They went to fan questions.
Swann was asked about his rivalry with Eric Young, winning the X-Division title and if this was the best time of his career. Swann said that winning the X-Division title meant the world to him and he's proud to have his name on the list of champions. He said Young tried to change his life and he was told he was going to walk with a limp for the rest of his life, but he had to fight back and he's proud he did.
Swann was asked about competing without fans there. He said that the atmosphere is different but you know that there are countless fans watching when you see the red lights on the camera, so you want to fight and give them the energy so they want to be there.
Swann was asked if he could trust Moose. He said that he can't. He said he had to beg Moose to stop pounding Willie Mack's face and give Moose what he wanted,an Impact title shot and now he has to stand next to him and trust to him when Moose could try to do the same thing to him. What's going to stop Moose from looking at The Good Brothers and Kenny Omega and then turn on Swann and Sabin?
Swann was asked if he could pick someone to replace Moose, who would it be and why. He said Willie Mack, because they carried each other to victory together and they've been there for each other and have carried each other to championship wins.
Swann was asked about his favorite matches. He agreed with the fan who brought up his Rebellion bout against Sami Callihan. That led to some discussion of tonight's Barbed Wire Massacre match.
They did a hard push for the main event of the PPV.
The second guest was Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo, with Kimber Lee. Purrazzo talked about her bout tonight with Taya, saying that all she has to do is wrestle tonight, she can do that and take a knee or an ankle or an arm out.
A fan asked how Deonna plans to elevate the Knockouts division. She said she already has and they are in the age of the Virtuosa. She praised the viewership growing since the partnership with AEW. She wants to be involved with the best people at her side and she's going to help the brand by winning over and over and over.
Deonna was asked about potentially wrestling Serena Deeb one day. She said she had the chance to spent time with her at the "Performance Center" and praised her work and said that with the partnership with AEW, you never know. She wants to have more scientific wrestling and that would be great chance to showcase that.
A fan asked when Kimber Lee would be given a title shot. Lee said that sometimes, best friends can have great contests but personally, she wants to team with Deonna for the Knockouts Tag Team titles. Deonna pointed out that she's beaten Lee in the past but she has Lee by her side because she knows how great she is. If they had to wrestle, it would be difficult but pushed again the idea they wanted the Knockouts Tag Team titles.
Deonna was asked about potentially wrestling Allie. She said it would be a potential crossover match with AEW but if Tony Khan wanted to let that happen, she'd be happy to step into the ring with her.
Deonna was asked her strategy for tonight. She said her usual strategy is to use the Venus di Milo to break Taya's arm. She will have Kimber Lee with her and perhaps their new friend Susan will be there and will prove herself.
They discussed the Knockouts Tag Team Championship match tonight. Deonna predicted Tasha Steelz and Kiera Hogan will be victorious.
Deonna was asked about her potential legacy. She said she has a long way to go to be at the level of a legacy like the ones Beth Phoenix and Natalya. She works every week to strive to be the best women's wrestler of all time. She's worked for eight years to get to this point.
They were asked about the crossover with AEW. Lee said that the possibilities are endless and that having the chance for wrestlers to face their counterparts from other companies is something that hasn't really happened before and it makes it exciting. Deonna said they are in new territory now. There are fans just as excited as the talents. The fact that management in the companies are excited to better the sport and not just their own companies makes the wrestlers' jobs more exciting.
Deonna was asked about potential dream opponents. She mentioned Trish Stratus and Natalya.
