Austin Aries returned to Impact tonight and defeated Eli Drake to become the new Impact Global Champion. Aries previously held the TNA World Championship in 2012.
During an in-ring promo where Chris Adonis was putting Eli Drake over as the greatest champion of all time, Aries came out and challenged Drake to an impromptu match, which he won.
The episode is expected to air on February 1.
Impact posted the spoiler themselves on their Twitter account to build up hype for the show:
