When Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson shocked people by showing up in AEW, it had people wondering more about the partnership between AEW and Impact Wrestling.
The move seemed to come quickly, and many people wondered just how it would work out considering multiple episodes of Impact had been taped prior to the surprise arrival of Gallows and Anderson. Talking with Fightful, Gallows revealed how the process came together and how they had kept it quiet from people on the Impact roster.
“It was just there was a small circle of us who knew about all of it and again, like when we went to Nashville to film that first time, it was only the guys you saw in those segments that were even there. It was an empty studio other than that. So, all the IMPACT wrestlers and stuff had already gone home from the tapings when we went in to do it. So, I think just not a lot of people knew about it, which gave it a cool element of surprise as well. You never know. You know wants that scoop more than any fan in the world? All the boys.”
Both companies seemed to work to keep the surprise a big secret, but since then the partnership has seen Private Party come for an appearance with Impact in addition to multiple appearances of Kenny Omega. The partnership continues to blossom, so it’s just a matter of time before we see how that pays off.
